Chapter 1125: Raki Won't Be Banned, Right? 【Bonus Chapter for Lord Meng Norns】
Edogawa District, an Abandoned Warehouse.
Gin looked at the map, explaining the Action Plan to Rena Mizunashi (Kir), Chianti, and Korn.
“Kir, no need for actual action. Just go there and take a look around, then immediately head to Point C. Be careful not to be tracked…”
“Understand!”
“Korn, Chianti, follow the plan and find the Sniper Point near Point B. Someone will cooperate with you then…”
After the Action Plan was almost finalized, Rena Mizunashi smiled and asked, “Gin, this time’s target wouldn’t be that foreign diplomat who recently visited Japan, would it?”
“That fellow has been hogging the limelight recently,” Chianti said, “Just as annoying as Tu Men!”
Seeing that the action was about to begin, Gin didn’t completely conceal it, “He’s not the real target…”
“Gin,” a muffled voice came from the earphone, “Raki’s here.”
The brief statement made the Atmosphere subtly shift.
Chianti seemed to want to laugh but held it back, or perhaps she had other Emotions. Her Expression was strangely distorted. After a moment of Silence, she couldn't help but say, “Gin, Turkey seems to have implemented an Alcohol Restriction Order…”
“I also saw the report in the International Section this morning,” Rena Mizunashi’s Expression was also very strange, “Raki’s Manufacturing Industry and Market have been significantly impacted. In the future, Raki will probably have insufficient supply even domestically in Turkey, let alone exports.”
Logically, as someone deeply trusted by The Boss and holding a significant Status within the Organization, she should maintain a good Relationship. Even if the Relationship wasn’t good, she shouldn't talk nonsense and make Enemies. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to her Undercover work. If she incurred resentment or was sabotaged, it would be a Loss.
However, after being in the Organization for so long, this was the First Time she had seen a member’s Codename Liquor being restricted.
Although Absinthe was banned before, she didn’t know it, and the ban was years ago, so she didn’t feel anything.
She knew Raki, and Raki was originally Turkey’s National Liquor. The Alcohol Restriction Order was also issued by Turkey. This was the same as Japan banning Sake, China banning White Alcohol, and Germany banning Riesling Wine. It made her Mood… ahem, quite Subtle.
Even the country that manufactures and sells Raki is restricting production and transactions. The Stock of Raki will inevitably decrease day by day. And the world is not short of Alcoholic Beverages. Raki’s Sense of Presence in the world will become lower and lower. If the Alcohol Restriction Order is not lifted, and the enthusiasm of the Turkish Public gradually shifts or they find more Suitable substitutes, Raki will slowly sink into History.
Of course, the past of ‘Absinthe’ tells the Public that a Drunkard’s love for Liquor is difficult to be erased by Time. Even if it is restricted for forty or fifty years, if one day the Alcohol Restriction Order is lifted, Raki, with this piece of History, might be able to make a comeback with even greater momentum, driven by Sentiment and other factors.
But… Raki is still so pitiful.
She was referring to the Organization’s Raki. The person was originally fine, but suddenly one day, his Codename Liquor suffered a great calamity. No matter how you think about it, it’s not very auspicious. She also had a little bit of a twisted sense of schadenfreude.
Since Chianti mentioned it first, it’s okay for her to join in the Teasing, right?
It should be fine. The people in the Organization are very individualistic anyway. Having or not having Enmity doesn’t hinder sarcasm and teasing. It’s not strange for her to say it.
Vodka looked at Gin, hesitating, his Expression also complex.
He remembered Boss once said to him, ‘That crappy Raki will be banned sooner or later.’ It was originally a Joke, and he didn’t take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Boss’s Jinx came true.
Next, will Raki really be banned?
Gin was just about to say ‘Raki guessed it long ago,’ but he was interrupted by the sound of a Car approaching. He simply didn’t say it anymore, turning his head to watch a Black Zelas drive in and park aside.
A Young Man got out of the car. He was very tall, in All Black, with blonde hair. His freckled face, which should have looked cute under the blonde hair, was filled with Indifference. His azure eyes seemed to always hold a dangerous Chill.
Chianti turned her head and looked, instantly losing her desire to laugh.
Rena Mizunashi also decided to remain Silent. She wouldn’t be the one to start trouble.
“It’s not ‘seemingly’ banned, it’s indeed banned,” Gin didn’t care. Taking advantage of Chi Feichei’s arrival, he directly started trouble, a sarcastic Smile playing on the corner of his mouth, teasing, “Raki, you mentioned Raki’s ban just now. Do you have any Feelings about it?”
Yingqu Yan Nan, who had gotten out of the car and Disguised himself, was startled. His Expression became as subtle and complex as everyone else’s just now.
“Nothing,” Chi Feichei walked forward with a cold indifference, his voice hoarse, “Waiting for The Boss to pay me.”
Chianti couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Will The Boss still give Psychological Compensation Money?”
This was the First Time she had encountered such a situation, and she was genuinely Curious.
“Humph…” Gin coldly sneered, withdrawing his Line of Sight from Chi Feichei, not revealing anything unrelated to this operation, “Chianti, you have to make The Boss think it’s okay…”
He finally understood why Raki laughed like a Crazy Cat that night.
Without those Actions, suddenly discovering that Raki was banned, and then being teased by this group of free-spirited people in the Organization, and hearing others talk about it when going out, even if Raki wasn’t depressed, he would find it annoying, right?
Now that Raki is really banned, it’s actually a good thing. The Organization’s Funds will increase.
And for Raki, judging the Situation, placing a Bet, and finally turning an unpleasant matter into a good thing is enough to make him feel happy.
Actually, before today, he didn’t think the Probability of Raki being banned was very high. Seeing the News Report, he had Mental Preparation and wasn’t very surprised. The greater surprise came from this fellow Raki’s Judgment, and then…
If he didn’t know this, he would still have the Mood to make a few Jokes. Recently, there have been a lot of Rumors in Turkey. One moment, there were rumors that drinking too much Raki would cause Poisoning, and the next moment, there were rumors that Raki had an aphrodisiac Effect. One Responsibility after another was thrown onto Raki. It was a good Opportunity to tease Raki. Yet, he had Mental Preparation beforehand, and he didn’t feel anything. Before, when he saw the report, he was only focused on analyzing the Possibility of Raki being banned and forgot to send an Email to tease him.
What a Pity, an Opportunity to tease him was ruined by Raki’s ‘advance prediction.’
Rena Mizunashi lowered her eyes and pondered.
‘Make The Boss think it’s okay,’ what did Gin mean?
Could it be that the Organization really has Psychological Compensation Money? Or was he hinting at Other Things? Or was he still teasing Raki, but hinting at something they didn’t know…
Wait, my Approach is almost off track, Psychological Compensation Money is not important.
The Boss doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would give Psychological Compensation Money. Even if he mistakenly kills someone, he won’t give Compensation Money. He won’t give it even when he suspects and interrogates members…
Stop, stop thinking about Compensation Money. It has nothing to do with me, an Undercover Agent.
“I also saw that report. It’s not just targeting Raki, all alcoholic beverages are restricted, including everyone’s codenames…” Yingqu Yan Nan followed Chi Feichei, Subconsciously speaking for his Boss, but he couldn’t help but tell the truth, “But for Raki, as Turkey’s National Liquor, the impact and restrictions are relatively greater.”
Chi Feichei felt that Yingqu Yan Nan’s words were better left unsaid. He didn’t waste any more Time, looked towards Gin, and said in a hoarse voice, “Ireland is in charge of Point D and has already taken people there to prepare. Stout arrived last night and is on standby. If necessary, Bourbon will participate in the Search Command.”
Gin took out a Cigarette and lit it while Chi Feichei was reporting the Situation. After Chi Feichei finished speaking, Gin confirmed with him, “Chianti and Korn will go to the vicinity of Point B. Kir will fire a Gunshot to create a diversion and then go to Point C.”
Chi Feichei wasn’t surprised by Gin’s Arrangement. They had already finalized the specific Solution. Meeting tonight was just to see if the originally decided plan needed to be revised due to personnel issues. Gin didn’t make any changes, which meant that the Personnel arrangements here were all fine. “Ireland needs a batch of Bombs.”
“Just give him a batch,” Gin said while smoking, “Don’t forget, Kir also needs Bombs.”
His Bomb stock was being expended so quickly. The Bombs from Raki’s side weren’t used much. This time, it was Raki causing trouble, so of course, they should use the Bombs from Raki’s side.
Chi Feichei: …
Yes, he brought it up because he wanted to Discuss with Gin whether he would send the Bombs tomorrow or Gin would.
As a result, not only did he have to provide the Bombs from Shimono Town, but he also had to be responsible for Kir’s Bombs?
He…
Never Mind, anyway, he had a lot of Explosives in his Warehouse, and he didn’t use them often.
…
The Next Day, light rain fell, from morning until Afternoon.
Five Elementary School Students, holding Umbrellas, took a detour to a Bookstore in Shimono Town and bought a limited edition Manga, then went back to Beika Town together.
“Whew, we almost didn’t get it,” Genta put the Comic Book into his Schoolbag, zipped it up, patted the bag, and happily put it back on his shoulder, “I’ve collected the whole series!”
Ayumi smiled sweetly, “We have to thank Mitsuhiko for knowing about this Shop with few Customers but many Books!”
After handing Genta’s Umbrella to Genta, Mitsuhiko scratched his head and said apologetically, “No, I just guessed that the Shop still had…”
Behind the three Children, Conan handed a Mobile Phone to Haibara Ai, lowering his voice, “Here, help me return the Mobile Phone to Doctor. By the Way, tell him Thank You for lending me the Mobile Phone. It helped me a lot.”
It was really close this time.
The day before yesterday, he left his Mobile Phone on the Table. Ran happened to send an Email to ‘Kudo Shinichi,’ and his Mobile Phone naturally showed that it had received the Email. Ran would naturally Suspect him.
Fortunately, he borrowed a Mobile Phone from Doctor Agasa yesterday, pretending that it was Conan’s Mobile Phone. Last night, he intentionally left it in Uncle’s Office, pretending that he had forgotten it. He then used his real Mobile Phone to Call Ran.
He not only had to create the Pretense that ‘Conan’s Mobile Phone receiving the Email had nothing to do with Kudo Shinichi,’ but he also had to play two roles at once. One moment, he pretended to be Conan on the Second Floor, Acting Cute, and the next moment, he had to run back to the Third Floor, avoiding Uncle, secretly using the identity of ‘Kudo Shinichi’ to Call Ran. It was incredibly tiring.
But the Outcome was good. At least Ran had dispelled her Suspicion of him.
Haibara Ai received Doctor Agasa’s Mobile Phone, “So, your Identity wasn’t exposed?”
“Yeah, I managed to Handle it. Ran doesn’t seem to suspect that I’m Kudo Shinichi anymore,” Conan smiled, looking up at the light rain outside the Umbrella, “But because of taking Medicine and my Body shrinking, it’s an unbelievable thing, so I could get away with it so easily…”
“To ensure your smooth passage, and to make this Mobile Phone look like Edogawa Conan’s, I sent many Emails to this Mobile Phone,” Haibara Ai put the Mobile Phone into her shorts Pocket, paused, and continued in a Leisurely tone, “Of course, no need to Thank You. Next time, if Brother Hichiji suspects me, you can help me with all your might. That’s Enough.”
