Conan’s Toast Does Not Eat Fine Wine

Chapter 1299 Organization Trusts Mescal

The doorbell rang, and when he saw the person waiting on the porch outside the door, Kudo Yusaku didn't feel any emotion.

He knew she would come.

It was precisely because of this that he fled Tokyo in embarrassment before.

Yes, escape.

The so-called taking things is both a fact and an excuse. Kudo Yusaku knew that he just didn't want to meet that woman without breaking her promise - that woman who was really scary when she got angry.

However, when the door opened, a very gentle woman appeared in front of Kudo Yusaku. She smiled lightly at Kudo Yusaku, her eyes were open and nostalgic, as if she was looking at an old friend who had been away for several years.

"Mr. Yusaku, long time no see."

Kudo Yusaku was convinced that he had never met Rumi Wakasa before, so it was obvious that this seemingly ordinary woman at this time was Asaka from seventeen years ago.

Some changes have taken place in Asaka. She is no longer as sharp as she was seventeen years ago. She seems to have finally learned to treat others normally.

Kudo Yusaku sighed slightly and said to Wakasa Rumi: "Long time no see, Wakasa-sensei."

He invited Rumi Wakasa into the room and asked her, "What would you like to drink?"

Wakasa Rumei raised her eyes, with a slight smile in her eyes: "Don't you know my choice?"

The question just now was just out of politeness, because Kudo Yusaku had already come in with a cup of black tea.

Early this morning, Kudo Yukiko, who was staying at home, suddenly said that she had made an appointment with a friend, and then went out dressed up in a hurry.

She seems to have been prepared for Rumi Wakasa's visit.

Rumi Wakasa took the tea cup, looked at the slightly rippling tea soup in the cup, and smelled the faint fragrance of tea filling the air.

It's a familiar smell, a familiar smell... the smell of that person.

"I'm glad to see your changes now." In the quiet and eerie atmosphere, Kudo Yusaku was the first to speak.

Rumi Wakasa smiled slightly: "I look like a normal person now, right? I even found a normal job and am gradually integrating into this society."

"congratulations."

However, the curve of Wakasa Rumi's mouth suddenly dropped. Her eyes were cold and she stared at Kudo Yusaku: "But the person who taught me this is no longer here, so where is the promise you made to me?"

She suddenly became crazy, and all the gentle and calm emotions on her face disappeared. She shouted almost hoarsely: "What on earth did you do to keep me away from CROW for these seventeen years?! Are you deceiving me?!"

"I……"

Kudo Yusaku's voice just sounded, like a candle lighting a fuse, instantly detonating Wakasa Rumi's mentality that was about to explode.

She stood up suddenly, used her hands as pliers, and grabbed Kudo Yusaku's shoulders hard.

Kudo Yusaku's reaction was very fast, and he got out of the way almost the moment she took action. At the same time, he subdued Rumi Wakasa with skill from behind and pressed Rumi Wakasa onto the sofa.

"Let me go, Mescal!!" Rumi Wakasa struggled desperately, but she could easily kill two robbers by herself, but she was too weak to resist in the hands of Yusaku Kudo.

Kudo Yusaku rolled his stiff neck and said helplessly: "It has been seventeen years, and my skills have not declined much."

How ironic, these are already deeply engraved into the muscle memory.

"Asaka." Kudo Yusaku recalled Rumi Wakasa's real name, "You should know that you are no match for me."

"Of course I know, I knew it seventeen years ago." Wakasa Rumi couldn't see Kudo Yusaku, but this did not prevent her from continuing to radiate anger and hatred. "That's why I listened to your nonsense. I really thought You will help me investigate the case of Mr. Haneda’s murder. I didn’t expect that you were just perfunctory with me. Not long after that incident happened, I heard that Mescal disappeared without a trace.”

Kudo Yusaku lowered his eyes and slowly let go of Rumi Wakasa.

Rumi Wakasa did not continue the attack. In fact, she knew she had no chance of winning before taking action, but her anger still made her lose her mind.

If you were here, you would definitely scold me again...

Kudo Yusaku slowly smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes caused by fighting, and then said to Asaka: "I have something to give to you."

"What?" Rumi Wakasa asked coldly.

Kudo Yusaku did not answer his question, but instead cast his gaze on Rumi Wakasa's slightly bulging pocket: "You should always carry this with you, right?"

Wakasa Rumei's expression changed, and she subconsciously covered her pockets: "What do you want to say?"

Kudo Yusaku walked to the cabinet nearby, opened the drawer, took out a small square box, and then handed the box to Asaka.

"This is..." Rumi Wakasa stared at the words "General" on the lid of the box, and her eyes gradually became moist.

She opened the box and saw dozens of chess pieces lying quietly inside.

Those are all shogi chess pieces. They seem to be old, and the paint on the characters on some chess pieces has fallen off. However, judging from the size of the chess pieces, Rumi Wakasa can confirm that this set of shogi pieces is missing a [kaku row].

She knew where the horn was.

Right in her pocket.

Rumi Wakasa slowly took out the chess horse that she had treasured for many years and placed it with the remaining chess horses.

Sure enough, the specifications and materials are exactly the same, except that the horns are slightly rounded due to long-term playing and rubbing - they are originally the same shogi set.

"This is the chess horse used by Mr. Haneda Koji when he defeated the teacher for the first time." Kudo Yusaku said slowly, "Mr. Haneda Koji has always treasured them, and he has carried with him the last move that made the teacher 'throw' Kakugyu."

"Why do you have this chess set in your hand?" Rumi Wakasa asked.

Kudo Yusaku did not answer, but said: "I was looking for this chess set when I disappeared not long ago. Although I know where it is, it is not easy to get it."

"Oh, aren't you avoiding me because of a guilty conscience?"

"I don't deny it." Unexpectedly, Kudo Yusaku admitted Wakasa Rumi's guess.

This made Rumi Wakasa not sure how to react.

"But there is one thing you guessed wrong." Kudo Yusaku said calmly, "In fact, I have completed the promise I made back then."

Rumi Wakasa opened her eyes wide: "Have you found out the cause of Mr. Haneda's death?!"

"Yes, it was discovered seventeen years ago."

"Then why did you..."

"Because I can't tell Asaka this."

Rumi Wakasa's eyes were red: "Mescal, how can you be so cruel? You clearly know that I am so looking forward to the answer, you clearly know that I have been troubled day and night for the past seventeen years, you clearly know..."

"So what if I tell you the truth?" Kudo Yusaku's expression was even a little cold and ruthless. "With your power, you cannot cause any damage to the organization, and it may even cost you your life."

"I don't care! I don't care!"

If the organization likes this life, let them take it! She just wanted to know how such a kind and gentle Mr. Haneda was killed, and she just wanted to do everything she could to avenge him.

Yu Kudo stared at Rumi Wakasa with his sharp eyes like a falcon. After a while, he said, "What about him? Does he also want you to make useless efforts in vain, regardless of your own life?"

"How can this be said to be a useless effort..." Rumi Wakasa was suddenly stunned, "What's going on with that Mescal now? Why did that person give your code name to a new person after you left the organization?"

"This is where the problem lies.

"Unfortunately, I think that person's plan is about to succeed."

Rumi Wakasa lost her voice: "It's the one Amanda Hughes found out originally..."

"Yes, and I think Mr. Haneda Koji's murder should also be related to the plan. It is possible that he was silenced by Rum just because he discovered the secrets of the organization."

The truth that she had been pursuing for seventeen years was placed in front of her, but Wakasa Rumi did not feel relaxed at all. She looked at Kudo Yusaku and smiled bitterly: "Now that Mescal has returned to the organization, there is no way we can stop the implementation of the plan. ?”

She doesn't care what the world becomes. The impact of the BOSS or the victory of the red side on her is almost minimal. But if Mr. Haneda dies because of the organization's plan, she doesn't want to see the day when the plan succeeds.

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku raised his lips slightly: "That's true, but if something goes wrong with the most critical part of the plan..."

"You mean mezcal?"

"He is different from me. He might really play a vital role."

No matter Mescal seventeen years ago or Kudo Yusaku today, he has always been wandering between black and red, and has never gained the true trust of either party. Asano Nobushige is different. He has faith in front of him, comrades beside him, and police behind him. Moreover, the current organization is no longer as strong as it was back then. Together these young people may really be able to bring down the building.

Kudo Yusaku was looking forward to that moment, and he had been looking forward to it since seventeen years ago.

"You are so selfish, Kudo Yusaku." This time, Rumi Wakasa stopped calling him mezcal, "You can leave the responsibilities that you should have shouldered to others and still look unapologetic. "

Regarding her accusations, Kudo Yusaku also did not deny: "The future envisioned by either party is not what I want to see. I just made the best choice for my family and friends. You should know my mentality very well. Bar?"

Wakasa Rumei's face darkened: "Don't compare me with you!"

Kudo Yusaku laughed: "Then let's wait and see if the choice I made is the optimal solution."

After completely returning to the police force, Jiang Guling suddenly had more time and energy.

Not having to deal with assignments from the organization meant he could devote himself to his job as a police officer.

The public security police have already established a complete intelligence system for the organization. Even if there is no undercover agent from the top of the organization to provide information, they can still grasp some trends that are not highly confidential.

Feng Gu Zero speculated that some of the information may come from Xila.

So Jingguang did not hesitate to cut off all contact with the police and send him out of the organization. Why did he acquiesce to Silla's continued lurking?

There were too many questions, but the person who could answer his confusion locked himself in the silent darkness.

Yuya Kazami quickly brought the information Rei Fukiya wanted.

He asked Feng Jian to investigate a person, a woman who likes to act in a high profile - Belmod.

Jianggu Ling had no other intentions. He just wanted to meet Belmode, that's all.

At night, under the colorful lights of Tokyo, Bellmode stepped into a concert hall she often visited. Listening to opera and watching ballet after work is Bermod's usual spice. Occasionally she will come with her colleagues to drink bourbon or gin.

But today, she was alone.

The lights in the concert hall dimmed, and then the curtain slowly opened, and the actors' singing sounded, lingering around the beams in the concert hall.

Belmod felt the seat next to her collapse. She looked to the side with her peripheral vision, and her eyes touched a touch of gold.

Belmode raised her lips slightly, and she had already determined the identity of the uninvited guest beside her.

Long time no see, Bourbon.

"Mr. Police, I haven't done anything illegal or criminal." Belmode was the first to joke.

Rei Fangtani stretched out his hand to support his temples and asked in a calm tone: "Does the organization push TENSE Group to the front of the stage because they want to wash their hands of it and start doing business honestly from now on?"

Belmode smiled: "What do you think?"

"Colluding with officials, meddling in politics, and monopolizing financial markets... any of these crimes are enough to impose sanctions on TENSE."

"Alas, you actually admitted your identity as a traitor so frankly? I thought you came here specifically to block me today to beg me to put in a good word for you in front of that person."

There's no need for that.

Jianggu Ling said silently in his heart.

It would be okay if it was exposed for other reasons, but his identity was reported to the organization by Jing Guang. No matter how deeply Jingguang is involved in this matter, any move he makes will inevitably affect him.

Rei Fukiya couldn't stay in the concert hall for too long. He didn't have time to talk to Bermod, so he pointed it out directly: "Speaking of which, your relationship with that person shouldn't be lovers, right?"

Belmod raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know?"

"I know, but whenever I think about it, it still feels unbelievable." Rei Fangtani sighed, "It's hard to imagine that you are actually related by blood to that person."

"Ha." Hearing this, Belmode mocked unceremoniously, "Bloodline is the most meaningless thing. It will only bring imprisonment and restraint to people."

Belmod's eyes fell on her wrist. Because the skin was so white that it was almost transparent, she could easily see the green blood vessels under the skin.

What flows there is similar blood to BOSS.

However, every time he thought about this, Belmode felt very sick and nauseous.

"What do you want from me?" she asked.

The purpose of Fang Gu Ling's trip was half achieved. Only he knew that he was not sure at all.

"It's just some information." Fangtani said casually, "I want to know why the organization suddenly pushed TENSE to the forefront, and why it let Mescal take over things in the Asia-Pacific region."

Belmode leaned lazily on his seat: "You really have a lot of questions, but I don't have exact answers to these two questions."

"Yeah?"

"I can only tell you that most of your guesses are correct. In addition..." Belmod paused slightly.

“Organizations promote mezcal because of trust.”
