Chapter 763 I Have Thin Skin
On the road to Tokyo, which Conan was rushing to, Doctor Agasa's old Car broke down again. They happened to encounter Shancun Cao, who was on the Mountain searching for Robbers. Doctor Agasa entrusted his Car to Shancun Cao and hitched a ride down the Mountain with Passersby.
Shancun Cao was kind enough to Call Doctor Agasa's Home landline, "Hello, is this Doctor Agasa's House?"
Haibara Ai, who had been woken up in the middle of the Night, rubbed her eyes, "Yes, this is Agasa Residence..."
Shancun Cao explained the situation of Doctor Agasa's Car breaking down, "Although Mr. Agasa has already Called the Car Repair Shop to come and take the Car away in the morning, I was worried that the Car would continue to be left in the Mountains and be driven away by Robbers who are on the run, so I Called a crane to move the Car away. Therefore, please trouble you to tell him to come to Gunma Prefectural Police to pick it up..."
"Oh, okay." Haibara Ai responded.
"Huh? Wait a minute! Your voice sounds a bit familiar..." Shancun Cao Be Confused for a moment, then quickly said with delight, "Are you Princess?"
"You've mistaken me for someone else."
Haibara Ai hung up the Phone Call with Black Lines on Forehead.
This Rookie Police Officer is hopeless.
But what was Doctor Agasa doing running to the Mountain in Gunma in the middle of the Night?
Well, Guess he was once again fooled by some Famous Detective to investigate something.
Haibara Ai resisted the urge to Call Chi Feichei in the middle of the Night to harass him. Just as she was about to Turn Around and Return to Room, she saw the Spare Tracking Glasses on the Table. She was Silence for a moment, then casually picked them up.
...
On a Street in Tokyo, Vodka finished sending the Money and drove towards Kenkyo Station.
"Oh, yes... The Transaction Time has been brought forward to one Hour later, which is four o'clock in the Early Morning. The Location remains unchanged, still in front of the Left Luggage Locker in the underground of Kenkyo Station. I'll report it to Gin Boss."
Vodka said on the Phone Call, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"...Of course, bring more Personnel and Guns... That Fellow might be Scared and Call the Police... It doesn't matter, anyway, we Originally planned to get rid of that Fellow at Kenkyo Station after the Transaction!"
...
Late at Night, Snow was still falling heavily.
A Black Porsche 356A sped along the Road with not many Vehicles.
Chi Feichei drove the Car in Silence.
Gin finished reading the Email and put away his Mobile Phone. He casually pressed the Cigarette Lighter, watching the Snow being swept to the edge of the Car Window by the Windshield Wiper, lost in thought.
Since leaving Nagoya, this kind of Silence had been maintained all the way. Neither of the two people in Shut-in State disturbed the other.
After running for a Day, both of them wanted to relax. Sometimes enjoying Silence is also a kind of Mental State adjustment.
There were still half an Hour to Tokyo. If there were no Accidents, Chi Feichei would just find a Place to get out of the Car, and then they would part ways. If there were Accidents, it would be Gin Took a Call...
Gin Took a Call, listened in Silence, and his Face became a little gloomy, "I know, you guys go over there first."
Chi Feichei glanced sideways, continued to Look at the Road and drive, "Something happened?"
Gin's Killing Intent was so strong that even the Car Window could hardly block it.
Hassashi also poked its Head out a little, Curious to Look at Gin.
"I'll drive," Gin still had a gloomy Face, and said coldly, "Go to Kenkyo Station first. Vodka has changed the Transaction Time with Itakura, and it's already past the Time!"
Chi Feichei remembered which Plot this was. He parked the Car on the Roadside, got out of the Car, and went around to the Passenger Seat.
This part should be the Plot where Itakura Taku was killed, Conan got Itakura Taku's Diary, impersonated Itakura Taku, ran to transact with Vodka, and was blocked by Vodka and Gin in the Locker...
He Originally thought he could avoid it if he could.
According to the Original Plot Development, Conan was just forced to hide in the Locker for one Night, fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen, and was found by Haibara Ai with Spare Tracking Glasses the next Day. There was no Danger to Life.
If he also ran over to get involved, he might destroy the Plot and cause a certain Famous Detective to Death.
But looking at Gin like this, he intends to speed up and rush over. If he said to stop the Car halfway and let him down, it would inevitably seem suspicious.
If he really encountered Matters related to the Safety of the Organization, he couldn't ignore it if he knew about it, unless The Boss said to let him not interfere.
Never Mind, take it one step at a time.
Conan's Life is so tough, he Probably won't die.
The two got into the Car, and the Car started on the Road again, heading towards Tokyo.
"Previously, the Programmer near Beihu Town was confirmed by you," Gin said, "Is there a Problem with that Itakura Fellow?"
"He didn't tell the truth that Night," Chi Feichei turned his Head and Looked at the Snow falling Outside the Car Window, "People who are unwilling, Problems will Originally occur."
"Humph!" Gin sneered, "I want to See what tricks they are playing!"
"What Time has the Transaction Time been changed to?"
Chi Feichei asked, silently lighting a candle for Vodka in his Heart.
Whether it's him, Gin, Amuro Toru, or Akai Shuichi, they all have the same Problem—
They like to take the initiative in their own Hands.
How things develop, how they are arranged, and how they are solved must be in their minds, to be the active party. This also leads to poor Communication sometimes. They always feel that it doesn't matter whether others know or not, they can calculate accurately, and can Let Them act according to their expected trajectory, so as to achieve the Outcome they want.
Once a Plan is made, any variables will make them feel annoyed, especially variables that will affect the smooth progress of the Plan, and there will be a sense of irritability that the Pace is disrupted.
Last time he and Gin played Go, they both had the Purpose of Test the other party.
He was Testing Gin, and Gin was also Testing him, using different approaches to provoke and Test, trying to assess a Point of the other's Personality. Therefore, their Go style was quite extreme when they played Chess, constantly greeting the other's Face.
It seemed like they were playing with Anger, but he did not lose his Reason and Defense, nor did he forget the Original Purpose of Test. He could See that Gin did not either. And similarly, Gin should also have grasped a Portion of his Personality.
He and Gin have been restraining themselves, each dividing a String, not crossing that String, because they both know that each other is the kind of person who likes to destroy other people's Plans and does not like their own Plans to be destroyed.
If they didn't restrain themselves, they would have fallen out and fought long ago.
Vodka, knowing that there was a Problem with Itakura Taku, changed the Transaction Time without authorization. This itself has a great Risk and is Easy to fall into a Pitfall.
Moreover, Gin is not in Tokyo, and if something happens, it will be too late to React.
Sometimes a little negligence may lead to a large number of people being dug out, and then Gin, who is in charge of Organization Safety Work, should stop messing around.
Even if others are not affected, and only Vodka falls, it will be enough to make Gin Uncomfortable.
Putting aside Relationship, if an Assistant who has already adapted suddenly disappears, and he has to re-adapt to others, the Pace will be completely disrupted, and that Feeling is enough to drive people crazy.
If it were replaced by Yingqu Yan Nan suddenly changing his Arrangement and bringing forward a dangerous Transaction, he would also be annoyed and would want to Ask Yingqu Yan Nan what the hell he was doing.
Then again, if it were replaced by someone else, Gin would not care so much. If something went wrong, he would just kill them directly. If Silencing one is not enough, then Silencing a few more. Whoever makes a mistake will die first...
"Four o'clock in the Early Morning, in front of the underground Locker at Kenkyo Station," Gin said, speeding up the Car, "We can make it."
Chi Feichei recalled the layout of Kenkyo Station, "I'll go in from the Entrance Escalator."
Kenkyo Station is located underground. There is one Entrance and one Exit. There is an escalator at the Entrance, but it is not yet powered on. There are Stairs leading to the ground at the Exit.
When the escalator at the Entrance is not powered on, it takes half a minute longer to get to the Storage Room from the Entrance.
He indicated that he would enter from the Entrance Escalator, which was to Let Gin take the Exit Stairs. He would arrive half a minute later, leaving that half a minute Time for Gin to Teach a Lesson to his little brother.
Gin's displeasure is inevitable. Vodka is complaining that his Boss's Hair is not white enough and that he doesn't worry enough.
If he were present, the Situation would be a bit awkward.
Gin casually pressed the Cigarette Lighter on the Car, "You do Care About Vodka's Feelings."
If three people are present, it must be the person being scolded who is most embarrassed.
"I have thin skin, I'll be embarrassed."
Chi Feichei said so, but did not show a bit of embarrassment on his Face.
Gin once again resisted the urge to roll his Eyes, and also resisted the urge to shoot Chi Feichei immediately. When the Cigarette Lighter on the Car popped up, he took out a Cigarette and put it in his mouth, picked up the Cigarette Lighter and lit the Cigarette, "When you wear a false Mask for a long time, hypocrisy will also melt into your bones."
"I'm really sorry," Chi Feichei apologized without much Sincerity, "I made you Uncomfortable."
Take a Look, is this Face still called thin skin?
Gin was Speechless and smoked his Cigarette, "Never Mind... It's Might As Well to go in separately. Sneak in, don't Let Them Sense it, and don't Let Them Run Away from your side. Of course, I won't Let any Secretive Fellows leave from my side either. Be Careful. Although I Don't Think Vodka will Betray, we must also prevent him from being used by others and setting up a Trap to lure us over."
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'ed, and suddenly asked again, "When I used to sit in your Car Backseat, didn't you feel Uncomfortable?"
Last time he went to Kumamoto, he never thought of Letting someone with a Gun and who was not familiar with him sit behind him.
Gin's Nerves are more sensitive than his. Facing a person he had only known for a short Time, who had Mental Illness and Weapons, it was impossible for him to put that person behind him...
Gin was Silence for a moment, and exhaled a puff of Smoke, "Careless."
Chi Feichei: "..."
It's okay not to tell the truth, but you have to shut me up.
"What about you, when you were in London, how could you rest assured to Let me be behind you?" Gin said, "You are Not That Kind Of person who is willing to Let someone with Weapons and who is not familiar with you stay behind you."
"Then I was Probably also careless."
Chi Feichei returned Gin's Original Words.
The fact is, he couldn't find a Reason for Gin to kill him. If he wanted to kill him, as long as Gin hid in the Dark Place, there were too many Opportunities, and there was no need to Take Action against him at that Time.
...
At more than three o'clock in the Early Morning, three Cars from three different Directions sped towards the same Location.
Conan and Doctor Agasa hitched a ride in the Car robbed by Robbers and arrived near Kenkyo Station.
The Robbers wanted to use the 'Old Man' and Child to avoid Police investigation, and Doctor Agasa's Car broke down, and Conan wanted to use the three Robbers to drive them to Tokyo.
When they arrived at a Station away from Kenkyo Station, Conan used up the Robbers, and relentlessly Reasoning, exposed the other party's Identity, used Anesthetic Needle to knock down the Driver, forcing the Car to brake halfway, and then popped out a Soccer Ball from the Extensible Belt that kept getting bigger after inhaling air. He slipped to the Front of Car Seat and trapped the two Robbers in the Back Seat between Seats, unable to move.
After everything was dealt with, Conan opened the Car Door and got out of the Car. He turned his Head and said to Doctor Agasa, "Then I'll go first, Doctor. Call the Police and say that the Jewel Robber has been caught."
"Shinichi," Doctor Agasa asked nervously, lowering his voice, "Are you really going to the Transaction Location?"
"No Problem!" Conan said firmly, "Kenkyo Station is still one Station away from here. Even if the Police come here, those Fellows will not stop the Transaction."
Doctor Agasa said anxiously, "What I want to Say is not..."
"I'm leaving!" Conan Turn Around and ran, not forgetting to tell Doctor Agasa, "I will contact you with the Detective Badge if anything happens. Before I contact you, don't get close to Kenkyo Station!"
Doctor Agasa hurriedly got out of the Car, "Hey, Shinichi!"
Conan ran towards Kenkyo Station, which was still under construction, without looking back, his Eyes firm and excited.
Finally found the Clues of those Fellows, this time there must be Gain!
