Chapter 1168 Possibility of an Undercover Agent
Back in Tokyo, it was already around six in the afternoon.
The Children planned to have Dinner at Doctor Agasa's House and then go Home.
Conan made sure that Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai wouldn't blab, and then got out of the Car with peace of mind.
After Haibara Ai got out of the Car, she didn't rush to close the Car Door. "Brother Hichiji, are you sure you don't want to stay and have a Dinner Party with everyone?"
"I'm taking the Eel to the Breeding Point," Chi Feichei instructed. "The prepared Food Ingredients are with the Doctor, you guys can do the Cooking yourselves."
"You're also going to deliver a Rabbit Bento to your Friend, right?" Haibara Ai asked smilingly. "Have you made new Friends recently?"
Chi Feichei resisted the urge to say something with a strong Morbid Taste like, 'Do you want to meet them someday?', "Sort of."
"Then go ahead, get along well with your Friend."
Haibara Ai closed the Car Door with some relief.
It's a Good Deed that Brother Hichiji can make more Friends.
…
An Hour later, a Black Porsche 356A pulled over and stopped by the Roadside.
Chi Feichei got into the Passenger Seat, opened the Bag he had brought, and took out a Lunch Box, Disposable Chopsticks, and a Drink Cup. "Stewed Rabbit with Cucumber, Wild Vegetable Dumplings, Lemon Tea."
Gin picked up the Tablet that was on hand, unlocked it, opened the Minesweeper Game, and threw it into the Back Seat.
Feichi ‘whoosh’ed to the Back Seat and started today's Minesweeper Game.
Gin opened the boxes one by one to Check the Dish, and asked with a Calm Expression, "Raki, you wouldn't Poison it, would you?"
He regretted it a little. First, he didn't Stare at Raki the Entire Process of Cooking, and second, he didn't bring someone to test the Poison.
The Dish in front of him, with its perfect color, Aroma, and Flavor, was practically asking him whether to gamble or not. Having seen the Food that Raki made, he didn't want to eat a Bento bought from the Streetside again.
Although well-made Dishes didn't look too bad, Raki often put Seasoning on the Meat and marinated it, and the Amount was well-controlled. The Rabbit Meat didn't have a very Obvious Seasoning Flavor, but it had a stronger Aroma of cooked Meat than those Meat Dishes, and the Flavor must be different when eaten.
As For the Wild Vegetable Dumplings, it seemed that no Seasoning had been added, and they were Steaming, very light and Natural.
Plus, there was Lemon Tea, he didn't even have the Interest to go to a Shop to eat high-end Cuisine, let alone a Bento…
"You're overthinking it," Chi Feichei said Speechlessly as he took his share and started eating.
Crazy Cat Gin definitely had Paranoia.
Gin didn't dwell on it, picked up the Chopsticks and tasted the Dish.
If Raki had Poisoned Belmode before Because Belmode had Revealed a 'teasing' Attitude, then Raki had no Reason to Poison him now.
Uh-huh, just like he thought, there was no Seasoning Flavor in the Wild Vegetable Dumplings, it seemed that only Salt was added, and a little Salt was also added when making the Dumpling Wrapper, so the Flavor was Naturally light, but it wouldn't be too light.
Stewed Rabbit with Cucumber that had been marinated was really delicious…
After tasting it, Gin was satisfied with the Flavor and Confirmed that he had not died from Poisoning, so he ate with peace of mind.
In the Back Seat, Feichi poked the Tablet with the tip of its Tail, playing the Minesweeper Game with relish.
After the Two People had After Meal, Chi Feichei got out of the Car to Throw the Lunch Box in the Trash Can by the Roadside, and only asked after returning to the Car, "What's Wrong with Kir?"
"She has too many Concerns about the Assassination Action against Tu Men," Gin lowered the Car Window to let the Flavor of the Meals in the Car dissipate as soon as possible, and casually took a Cigarette and bit it, his Face a little gloomy. "Although her Concerns make sense, if she comes forward to lure out Tu Men, she may be Stared at by the Police, But Rum has already provided the Leverage of the other Two Politicians, Pulled Into those Two Fellows, and after the Action is over, she can explain to the Public that she just wanted to conduct an Exclusive Interview with those Parliamentary Candidate, so she entrusted a Detective to investigate the Candidate, and she chose these Three People, she is the Host of the TV Station, it is Normal to want to get an Interview Report that others don't have, As For the Assassination Matter, anyway, she doesn't need to Start Doing, she can completely deny that she didn't know… But Even If that's the case, she seems to have other Concerns."
"She didn't object to it before," Chi Feichei reminded.
"She doesn't object to her Contacting Tu Men and using the Name of the Exclusive Interview to invite Tu Men out," Gin picked up the Cigarette Lighter in the Car, lowered his Head and lit the Cigarette. "But she Hope to Solve Tu Men before she and Tu Men meet, For Example, in the Process of her getting out of the Car and Tu Men walking towards her, to reduce her Suspicion, instead of her taking Tu Men to a specific Location."
Chi Feichei knew Why Gin didn't agree to Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Proposal. "Doing so can indeed reduce her Suspicion, But in the Process of Tu Men moving, there may be an Accident that leads to the Failure of the Action. It's best For Tu Men to stop at Some Place, so that the Sniper can Aim and Kill with One Blow."
"Hmph… The Bodyguard Beside Tu Men is very Loyal. If there is Danger, he will desperately stand in Front to help him block the Bullet, and That Guy's Skill is also passable. If he can't Kill him with One Blow and alarms him, the Probability of opening another Gunshot to Kill him will be very low. He himself will also increase his Vigilance. At the Checkpoint of the Councilor Election Campaign, he can also apply for Protection, and it will be difficult to Kill him in the Future," Gin Stared at a wisp of Smoke floating in Front of the Front Car Window, and said in a deep Voice, "Compared to that, what I Care About is Kir's Attitude. This Time, she Hesitate more than before when making a Decision. I want to know, is she just trying to ensure that she can get away with it, Or Rather… Participating in the Assassination of a Parliamentary Candidate who is very popular and Influential in Japan will cause her other Troublesome Matters!"
Chi Feichei Turn Head and Looked at Gin, "Her going abroad for an Interview is an Arrangement of the TV Station, Or…?"
For this Action, the Preparation that should be done has already been done. As Long As Rena Mizunashi (Kir) acts according to the Plan and doesn't do stupid Matters, the Police can Handle it, and the Risk is not too great.
Being in a Criminal Organization, which Action has no Risk?
But If Rena Mizunashi (Kir) is an Undercover Agent, then it's different.
Tu Men Kouki has a high Voice as the 'Future Prime Minister' at the Present, not only the Ordinary Public, but also Supporters distributed in the Political World, the Military, and the Business World.
If Rena Mizunashi (Kir) participates in the Criminal Organization's Assassination of Tu Men Kouki, and is later found to be a CIA Undercover Agent, the People in the Political World and the Military who supported Tu Men Kouki will not let it go. Will they feel that this is the American side deliberately going with the flow in order to Kill an Excellent Leader? Or even be happy to see it happen and guide and promote all of this?
There are also many Dirty Dealings in the Agent Department of Various Countries in the dark.
Once these are involved, Matters will become very Troublesome, and Rena Mizunashi (Kir), as an Intelligence Agent of the CIA, does not have the Right to decide Whether or Not to participate in this Action. This Matter needs to be reported to her Superior, and then her Superior and the People who know about it will hold a Meeting to discuss: Whether or Not to take the Risk of possibly causing a Counterattack from various Japanese parties and let Rena Mizunashi (Kir) participate in this Assassination Action?
If the Discussion Outcome is to participate, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) will receive News, telling her to focus on 'protecting herself' and 'continuing to be Undercover'. If the Discussion Outcome is not to participate, then Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s Task is likely to be - prepare to end her Undercover work and try her best to rescue Tu Men Kouki before Evacuation.
Due To the fact that the CIA is not a Japanese Intelligence Department, he guessed that after the CIA discussed it, the Outcome would probably be - participate in the Assassination Action, but don't let the Japanese side know the Identity of the CIA Agent.
If the situation is tense, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) may also need to use Death to sever her Relationship with the CIA.
But what the CIA decides is not Important, what is Important is that Rena Mizunashi (Kir) can take the opportunity to Contact a certain Informant and report this Matter to her Superior when she goes abroad for an Interview before the Action.
Of Course, Rena Mizunashi (Kir) going abroad is Not Necessarily Rena Mizunashi (Kir)'s own Decision, it is Possible that the Organization wants to Check Whether or Not Rena Mizunashi (Kir) has a Problem…
"You have to Ask Rum about this Matter, But Whether or Not it is an Arrangement of the TV Station is no longer Important," Gin said, with a little Coldness in his Eyes. "What We want to Confirm is Whether or Not Kir's Attitude has changed after returning from Overseas!"
"What Time did you arrange to meet her?" Chi Feichei asked.
If Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was Hesitate before, and her Attitude changed after going abroad, then Gin's Suspicion in his Heart would be deeper.
"9:10 p.m.," Gin took out his Mobile Phone and Looked at the Time. "After Confirming that the safe People are in Place, We will go over there. Don't have too much Hope. If Kir has a Problem, and can still stay in the Organization for so long, she won't Reveal an Opening so Easily."
…
Late, Dock Warehouse Area.
A White Car turned into the Warehouse Area. Rena Mizunashi (Kir), who was driving, saw the Car parked at the Warehouse Entrance in Front, slowed down and parked the Car, got out of the Car and Step Forward.
She knew very well that she had aroused the Organization's Suspicion, But there was no Method, such a Big Deal, she had to report it and see how the Above decided.
But she had been Undercover in the Organization for so long, and she was not a Newcomer with no Trust Level at all. The Organization Should not directly Take Action against her Because of a little Uncertain Speculation.
As Long As she can Handle it on her side…
In Front, a wisp of faint White Smoke floated out of the Porsche Car Window and floated towards the Electric Light Bulb hanging in Front of the Warehouse Door.
Gin, with a Cigarette in his Mouth, Stared at Rena Mizunashi (Kir) approaching in the Rearview Mirror. The Hat Brim and Hair cast a Shadow on her Face. There was no Expression on her Face, and even the Coldness in her Eyes was restrained a lot, making her look very Calm. "Don't Take Action randomly."
Chi Feichei had already switched to the Back Seat, let Feichi hide back under his Clothes, sat diagonally behind Gin, lowered his Eyes and Stared at the Beretta 92F Handgun in his Hand, and slowly put on the Silencer. "I know."
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) stopped in Front of the Car Window, still wearing a Professional Skirt Suit, no different from a Workplace Elite who had just finished Work. She didn't Look much at the Figure in the dim Back Seat, Smilingly Looked at Gin, and joked, "I just got off the Airplane and had After Meal before I had to rush over. Gin, calling People over so urgently is a very ungentlemanly Behavior!"
"Oh? That's really sorry," Gin Turn Head to Look at Rena Mizunashi (Kir). "So, what's your Answer?"
"I don't Hope to be Stared at by the Police, I always have to Consider my own Predicament, Isn't It?" Rena Mizunashi (Kir) did not avoid Gin's Line of Sight, her Expression Leisurely, with a Smile that was not a Smile. "Just Like I Said before, Even If it is necessary to lure People to a specific Location, you can let that Photographer do it, right?"
Gin Stared at Rena Mizunashi (Kir), "I Promise to be foolproof!"
Rena Mizunashi (Kir) was Silent for a Moment. "Before I went abroad for an Interview, it seemed that an Extreme Fan was hiding near my Home and was constantly harassing me. This Time, I went abroad for a few Days and wanted to Check Whether That Guy had given up, Or Rather, he planned to continue pestering me."
The Smile on Gin's Corner of Mouth was sarcastic. "Kir, that kind of Fellow… You wouldn't want the Organization to help you Handle it, Would You?"

Back in Tokyo, it was already around six in the afternoon.
The Children planned to have Dinner at Doctor Agasa's House and then go Home.

"Then go ahead, get along well with your Friend."
Haibara Ai closed the Car Door with some relief.
