As Gin's voice fell, a female voice slowly reached the ears of the two men in the front seat from the back seat.
"Sorry, Vermouth..."
Gin took a drag of his cigarette and turned slightly to look at the back. "I brought you here specifically to support that useless old guy, and it ended up causing trouble for you as well."
"Indeed, not even collecting such basic intelligence... but it caused me a great deal of trouble," Vermouth replied, applying lipstick to her lips in front of the mirror. "It's better that he's dead; otherwise, who knows what big trouble he might have caused one day."
"Smack!"
Vermouth closed the mirror and spoke again, "By the way, any news about the whereabouts of the Miyano sisters?"
"Hmph... that organization has been protecting them well," Gin said, a hint of wariness flashing across his face. "Until now, we haven't received any information."
"Well, well, I never expected to see the day when you would be so wary of an organization," Vermouth said with a cigarette in her mouth, smiling. "Especially since you never took the FBI seriously."
"Hmph... the mysterious organization that saved the Miyano sisters without leaving a trace and whose identity is still unknown. Don't tell me you're not wary of them."
The deep gaze in Gin's eyes hidden in the shadows, upon hearing Vermouth's words, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "If it weren't for that, the boss wouldn't have sent you, Vermouth, specifically to Japan."
As someone who had been wandering in the darkness for years, besides being cold, cruel, and ruthless, Gin's mind was also exceptionally calm.
He possessed exceptional intellect, deductive reasoning, adaptability, vigilance, and insight, and he could be ruthless toward others as well as himself. These were the reasons he was so formidable.
So, although he usually had a domineering and tyrannical style, it didn't mean that Gin lacked intelligence or the ability to make calm judgments.
If he couldn't even maintain basic situational judgment and composure, Gin wouldn't be the most formidable adversary on the dark side for over a thousand episodes.
Well... he might even be the only big boss...
Furthermore, despite Gin's current wariness of this hidden mysterious organization, just like a wolf pack probing its prey,
Being cautious and patient was all for the purpose of killing the prey.
Once even a slight clue was revealed, they would hold onto the prey tightly and never let go!
"You're still so serious, what a boring man," Vermouth chuckled. "Indeed, the boss values this mysterious organization a lot. It is the main target of my investigation. Even the search for the Miyano sisters' whereabouts takes a back seat, although investigating both doesn't conflict."
"Then do it well," Gin's eyes carried a sinister and cruel look. "Find them."
"Hi, hi!"
Vermouth lazily exhaled a puff of smoke. "Well then, please guide me. It seems we'll both be staying here for a while."
Snowflakes continued to drift and fall in the city of Tokyo. The black Porsche slowly disappeared into the flow of traffic.
But the undercurrents had already begun to surge.
......
At Professor Agasa's house, Senichi was sitting on the sofa, narrating recent investigative information to Conan. However, the results were not satisfactory.
"That's the current situation. After days of investigation, we still haven't made any progress."
Upon hearing Senichi's words, Conan felt unwilling and said, "Are there no other leads?"
The defeat this time greatly frustrated Conan. He had thought he could win this round and gain the upper hand, but he didn't expect the Black Organization to counterattack so quickly and fiercely.
Moreover, through this confrontation, what made him even more wary was the enemy's ruthless abandonment of their comrades to ensure that organization secrets were not leaked when they sensed an unfavorable situation.
Dealing with such enemies was undoubtedly very challenging. As long as it was detrimental to the organization, they would ruthlessly abandon that pawn and eliminate it.
So, when he recalled the events of that day, he couldn't help but deeply fear the ferocious methods of the Black Organization.
"Eliminating all suspicious individuals is their usual practice," Haibara handed a cup of coffee to Senichi and heard Conan's frustration. "The fact that this confrontation ended with this outcome is already good enough."
And now you know, our true identities absolutely cannot be discovered, or the next target will be the people around us."
Haibara turned her head to look at Conan. "They are so ruthless even to their own people. When dealing with enemies like us, they probably won't hesitate to eliminate anyone close to us. Through this operation, you must have gained a clear understanding of the organization's ruthlessness."
"Haibara is right. Safety comes first. Whenever you encounter the Black Organization, you become too excited and impulsive," Senichi agreed, offering advice. "We should maintain our advantage by hiding in the shadows and avoid taking unnecessary risks."
The main issue is that Conan becomes too excited and acts too decisively whenever he encounters Gin. His brain can't stay calm and consider everything thoroughly, which always leaves an opening for Gin to exploit.
Although he narrowly escapes each time, being in such a precarious situation, like walking on a tightrope, is not what Senichi wants to see. He doesn't want to gamble on Conan's protagonist halo.
Especially now that he's involved, the Black Organization will definitely be more alert to unknown enemies and their modus operandi will become even more ruthless.
In the plot, Conan has been lucky enough to avoid capture, but now things might not be the same.
"Don't worry, I understand the seriousness of the situation," Conan nodded as he listened to Senichi. "If anything comes up, I will contact you first and won't act recklessly. It's just... it's a pity this time... we missed an opportunity..."
Regarding Conan's frustration, Senichi shook his head. "The only thing we can be sure of now is that the sniper is highly skilled, with a range of approximately 600 yards. Although it may not be top-tier, their abilities are still formidable.
That's also good news because it means we have obtained information about one member of the organization.
This information is crucial. Without being prepared, the next encounter could be fatal."
Saying this, Senichi patted Conan's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't be too disheartened. This time, we didn't suffer any losses, and we not only obtained information but also caused the Black Organization to lose a member. It can be considered a fruitful outcome."
"Yeah," Conan nodded in response to Senichi's words and took a deep breath. Then, with a determined look in his eyes, he said, "But next time, I will definitely defeat them..."
"Well, good luck with that," Senichi smiled and took a sip of his coffee, feeling that Conan's declaration was unlikely to be fulfilled.
Well... at least not until the transition of the entire plot of over a thousand episodes is completed. Instead of worrying about that, you should quickly progress your romantic storyline!
At least there's some hope for that!!
