Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Chapter 177 Take action!

Just as Kudo Shinichi and Vermouth were having a pleasant conversation, Shirakawa Akane stood up beside them.

"Sorry, I have to leave for a moment."

The man pushed his glasses, apologized to the two of them very politely, then turned and left.

Vermouth raised her eyebrows, vaguely guessing that the man with Kudo Shinichi was going to cause trouble, but after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, she pretended to know nothing and nodded casually.

On the contrary, Kudo Shinichi, who was unaware of this, continued to chat with Mr. "Troy" in order to protect Mr. Shirakawa, and occasionally expressed admiration, which made Vermouth smile.

Forget it.

Vermouth had a smile on her face as she thought carelessly.

Green Chat had warned her not to get in the way, so she had no choice but to obey.

Walking into the blind spot of surveillance, Baichuan Qiu put on the invisible headphones on his ears.

"Hello? Shirakawa."

"Well, it's me."

"How's the situation inside?"

"Everything is normal, but Green Chat should be taking action."

"Alright, we've already set up surveillance around here, and we're ready to close the net at any time." Zhu Fujingguang disappeared into the shadows of the woods, looking up at the brightly lit villa over there. "Akai and the others have gone to the research institute. I think they'll be facing off against Gin and the others soon—"

Baichuanqiu raised an eyebrow: "Are they planning to capture Gin?"

Zhu Fujingguang: "Although it's a bit hasty, it might as well be an opportunity."

They had been preparing to capture Green Chat recently, and James specially applied for a group of manpower and equipment.

Now that I've met Gin, it would be a pity to miss him.

Bai Chuanqiu remained noncommittal: "Then we can delay it for a while longer."

Anyway, according to Gin's ability, this small round-up is not a big deal for him.

graduate School.

Grave squatted on the ground, holding her head, her body trembling slightly. The man behind her put down his gun, kicked the last security guard who was breathing heavily, and turned to look at the silver-haired man smoking beside him: "Brother, this is the last one."

Gin shook off the ash from his cigarette, his eyes swept calmly over the shivering woman on the ground, and said coldly, "Then let's go."

"Yes." Vodka pulled Professor Grave up and forced everyone to walk out.

The corridor was littered with corpses and blood was on the ground, but the two men turned a blind eye.

Only Professor Grave saw this scene and felt her chest churning. However, thinking of the purpose of her trip, she suppressed the nausea in her heart and walked out.

As soon as he reached the first floor, Gin suddenly stopped.

The man raised his head and looked at the pitch-black door. His dark green eyes were deep and gloomy, carrying the brutality of a bloodthirsty beast.

At this moment, outside the gate, the sky has darkened, and the entire sky is covered by black clouds, with a hint of depression.

"Big brother?"

Vodka wondered.

"Something's wrong."

Gin uttered these words slowly, and then his figure shook: "Go back!"

The next moment, as the man spoke, a bullet passed through the window glass and headed straight for his vitals.

Unfortunately, the man was already prepared and immediately hid himself in the shelter on the second floor. Vodka also reacted quickly and pulled Professor Graves around to the other side of the second floor.

"Bang—Puff—"

Then a few more things were thrown in, the spherical objects made crisp sounds, and then a large amount of pungent smoke enveloped the entire staircase on the first and second floors.

——This is to force them to move up.

Gin covered his mouth and nose in time, turned around and said, "Let's go back to the lab."

Vodka still hasn't seen who the enemy is, and is not sure whether they are from Green Chat or the police, but he didn't ask any more questions and decisively followed Gin's pace.

"They're going back to the lab."

Outside the institute, Akai Shuichi held up the intercom and said calmly, "Immediately cut off the power to the entire institute, and Team One officially enters."

"Got it." Judy's voice came from inside.

As a "dead man" in the eyes of the organization, Shuichi Akai cannot reveal his identity, so he can only command from outside the field.

But because of his understanding of Gin, Shuichi Akai can make the most of his presence even off the court.

Soon, the entire institute became bustling with activity.

Clausen Villa.

Baichuan Qiu put away his headphones and turned to go downstairs, but met Lex at the stairs.

The other party seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, smoking a cigarette leisurely. When he met Baichuan Qiu's gaze, he raised his hand with interest, letting the ash fall from his cigarette: "Want to smoke?"

Bai Chuanqiu looked straight at him: "Sorry, I don't smoke much."

The nicotine in cigarettes can indeed stimulate the brain, but his brain is still sufficient, and he will not smoke unless there are special circumstances.

Lex didn't say anything, just raised his hand, took a puff of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Baichuan Qiu said nothing, his eyes were cold as he watched the man blow out a smoke ring.

"Who do you belong to?"

Lex suddenly asked.

"I don't understand you."

"Hmph." Lex chuckled, shaking off more ash from the cigarette in his hand. "I trust my intuition. There's definitely something wrong with you two."

It’s a pity that the gentleman trusts that “Ian” so much.

Lex couldn't persuade Green Chat, but he never let his guard down against them.

Baichuan Qiu tilted his head: "That's your business."

No evidence, bullshit.

Lex's brows darkened, and his expression didn't look particularly good. He took another drag on his cigarette, and before Bai Chuanqiu could get impatient, he whispered, "We're in big trouble right now. No matter which side you're on, as long as you're willing to protect us, I can tell you everything I know."

Bai Chuanqiu's eyes darkened slightly.

He studied Lex, trying to find any suspicious clues on his face, but the other party did not react at all, just staring at him.

- Lex, you are telling the truth.

"You're going to betray Green Chat?"

"Haha." Lex laughed at himself, "Yes and no."

He just wanted them to live.

Bai Chuanqiu raised his eyebrows: "If it weren't for the relationship, I would really think you were Green Chat's biological son."

Although he is a bad guy who has committed countless crimes, he still remains loyal to his family.

So contradictory, yet so natural.

"The gentleman treats me very well and cares about us sincerely. To me, he is the most important person." Lakes said frankly.

So no matter how bad Morgana was, he never thought of leaving. Even though it had come to a critical moment, he still insisted on staying here.

"I can tell we're the same kind of people," Lex said firmly. "We're both indifferent and free-spirited. As long as we can achieve our goals, we'll do whatever it takes, even if it means hurting others, violating moral standards, or trampling on the law."

"Not many people can truly gain our trust, but once we place our trust in them, we are absolutely open-hearted and willing to gamble our lives."

Hearing Lex's words, Baichuan Qiu chuckled.

There were too many things mixed in that smile, and for a moment, it was difficult to understand.

Lex looked at him, the cigarette between his fingers flickering as the wind blew through the window.

"Sorry." Baichuanqiu blinked, "You reminded me of an old friend."

Compared to his past self, Lex, who was sinking in darkness, was undoubtedly luckier than him.

Because Lex's trust was not betrayed.

——It’s really enviable.
