"Oh?"
"Really, I have her photo on my phone." Kogoro took out his phone from his pocket.
Fortunately, Sonoko and Xiaolan asked him to take pictures of them with his mobile phone today, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Gin.
Being with a person whose organization was willing to kill him even at the cost of blowing up a building, and not reporting to the organization, Kogoro felt that he could choose an expression when he died.
Vodka snatched Kogoro's phone and looked through the photo album, and sure enough, he saw a lot of photos of the girl with pink wavy hair.
And that person's face was different from Shirley's.
"Brother, it seems that it really is not Shirley." Vodka said in a low voice.
Kogoro laughed innocently, "I've already told you that she's not Shirley. If I see Shirley, I'll definitely report her to my brother. She's the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, and she shouldn't have any connection with Shirley."
Gin looked at Kogoro's phone for a long time before putting away the gun.
"It seems that Shirley doesn't dare to really show up."
Kogoro finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Gin and Vodka drive away in the Porsche.
Outside the garage, Conan looked at the black Porsche 356A and started his skateboard.
Xiaolan stood alone outside the Twin Towers, looking a little confused. Sonoko accompanied the gentleman to the hospital, so where were her father and Conan?
Bourbon was in the ward, enjoying Sonoko's careful care. Akai Shuichi was lying alone on a cold stretcher, wondering why the organization could install a bomb inside the building that was powerful enough to blow up a building.
"How are you?" Judy placed the flower basket on the bedside.
"You can't die yet." said Shuichi Akai.
Shuichi Akai's left leg was in a sling and bandaged, and his right arm was also wrapped in bandages.
"You seem to have been hurt since you came to Japan."
Akai Shuichi was reluctant to say more. "The organization was able to install so many bombs in the building. There must be someone from the organization among the important personnel in that building."
Judy sat by the bed, "Could it be Tokiwa Mio?"
"Impossible, she died in that building before the bomb exploded." Shuichi Akai shook his head.
Although Tokiwa Mio had that ability, she died too early.
"Why not? Maybe the organization asked her to plant the bomb and then silence her. The organization is ruthless when it comes to killing its own members." Judy said sarcastically.
If something as serious as blowing up a building could be covered up with the death of one person, the organization would not hesitate.
"But the one who killed Tokiwa Meisou was her painting teacher, a very famous painter," said Akai Shuichi.
"Doesn't the organization have a criminal planner?"
This idea makes sense.
The organization received news that Shirley would appear at the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers, so Mio Tokiwa, a member of the organization, insisted on holding the ceremony despite the police's dissuasion in order to catch Shirley.
Bombs were installed throughout the building with the intention of killing Shirley at all costs.
However, the organization needed to survive and develop in Japan in a low-key manner. So in order to prevent others from noticing the existence of the organization, the organization killed Mio Tokiwa, a related person.
The one who killed her was the organization's notorious 'criminal planner'.
Only that criminal planner could make everyone believe that it was just a simple "murder case".
"Investigate Tokiwa Mio." said Shuichi Akai.
"Got it." Judy nodded. "How long will you stay in the hospital this time?"
Shuichi Akai looked out the window. The operation in Japan was not going well. He didn't even catch the tail of the organization, but he was injured all over.
……
On the national highway, Gin lowered the window of his Porsche and let go of the hand holding the cigarette to let the wind blow away the ash.
"Is it clean?" Gin asked. "It's already cleaned." Vodka said as he drove.
Although Absolut was not involved in the operation, his construction company helped by installing bombs throughout the building when they inspected the work.
"Brother, is there any relationship between Shirley and Absolut?" Vodka asked carefully.
"Heh." Gin sneered.
"Do you think anyone would be interested in Absolut?"
Vodka shook his head. No one would be interested in Absolut. What's the point of being good-looking? No one would like him with such a bad personality.
Unless Absolut uses force, he won't be able to find a girlfriend.
"Why would Shirley date Absolut, a man that no normal person would look down upon?" Gin said sarcastically.
Unless Absolut tied up Shirley and imprisoned her at home, nothing would happen between the two of them.
"But brother, since Shirley has nothing to do with Absolut, if you keep him under house arrest in the bar, he will definitely cause trouble." Vodka said.
Gin lit up another cigarette, feeling a bit of a headache.
It was already a headache when Absolut was persecuting others. Now that he has become the one being persecuted, it is hard to imagine what he will do.
Gin felt a little complicated. He really wanted to let Absolut, this scourge, go to the United States or Europe for some training.
"Sha~"
Late at night, a Porsche stopped in front of the bar.
When the guy outside the door saw the black car coming, he immediately stood up straight, feeling a little nervous.
"Has Absolut ever gone out?" Gin asked.
"Report to the eldest brother, no."
Gin was a little surprised. He didn't think that these peripheral members could keep an eye on Absolut. He didn't expect that Absolut would really stay in the bar and not go out.
I walked into the bar and looked at the sand and stones on the ground with some confusion.
Why are these things here?
"Ok?"
Hearing the noise, Tanigawa and Xiaoai, who were lying on the sofa, woke up. Tanigawa patted Xiaoai's back and lifted the blanket covering her.
"Are you back?" Tanigawa asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah." Gin nodded.
"Did Shirley catch it?" asked Tanigawa.
"No, Shirley did not appear in that building." Gin sat on the sofa and wanted to light a cigarette, but when he saw little Ai sitting cutely in Tanigawa's arms, he put the cigarette away.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't catch him this time, there will be next time." Tanigawa comforted Gin considerately.
Gin and Vodka were both a little confused. They thought Absolut must have taken the wrong medicine and had learned to comfort people.
"Gin, don't worry if you can't catch Shirley. I've cleaned up your room for you. I hope you like it." Tanigawa said with a smile.
Gin wasn't sure if the Absolut in front of him was a different person.
Not only did she not mock them for not catching Shirley, nor did she get angry or crazy because of being under house arrest. Instead, she comforted him and Vodka and helped him clean up the room.
Vodka seemed to have seen a ghost.
Is this all Absolut's disguise with his sister?
"Do you want to see your room?" asked Tanigawa.
"Okay." Although Gin was a little suspicious, he still followed Tanigawa's words.
"Why don't you sleep in your room, but sleep here instead?"
"Well, I want you to be the first to move into the new room I've 'prepared'." (End of this chapter)
