[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 32

Traces of the old department, undercurrents and aftermath

Night completely enveloped the entire city, and the lights in the safe house were still gentle and quiet.The warmth of the embrace still lingered on his skin. Shuichi Akai leaned on the sofa and gently rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips. The tension in the past few days finally slowly dissipated in complete calmness.

Gin sat next to him and didn’t speak, just lightly covering him with a thin blanket.The movements were natural and skillful, as if they had been done thousands of times.The organization killer who was once decisive in killing now only has a restrained and delicate tenderness, which he only shows to the person in front of him.

“Rum has suffered such a big loss, so he won’t just let it go.” Shuichi Akai spoke slowly, his voice soft but still maintaining the sobriety of an agent. “He is not moving now. He is re-testing your bottom line, and he is also testing the attitude of the FBI and MI6.”

Gin hummed, his gaze fell on the dark night outside the window, and a coldness flashed in his green eyes: “There are not many people he can use anymore. Most of the backbone only recognize strength, not faction. As long as I send out a little signal, they will not easily side with Rum.”

Akai Shuichi raised his eyes and looked at him: “Your influence in the organization is deeper than I imagined.”

“After all, I have been here for so many years.” Gin responded calmly, without any pride in his tone, only stating the facts, “But I don’t care who is in power now. I just care that this matter ends as soon as possible so that I can take you away.”

Akai Shuichi’s heart felt warm and he was about to say something when the encrypted communicator on the table suddenly vibrated slightly.

Not the FBI channel, not the Akai family, but a series of strange numbers with the organization’s unique encryption rules.

The two of them calmed down at the same time.

Gin’s eyes darkened slightly, and he reached out to press the answer button. He didn’t speak, but just waited quietly.

A very low, somewhat nervous voice came from the other end of the communicator:

“Brother…it’s me, Vodka.”

Akai Shuichi was slightly startled.

Vodka – the most loyal old part of Gin, has been with Gin from beginning to end, and has never had any second thoughts.

Gin’s tone was a bit colder, but there was no murderous intention at all: “How did you find this channel?”

“Sir Rum is now searching for people related to you. I…I’m worried about you.” Vodka’s voice was urgent. “I know you are with Mr. Akai now. I have no other intention. I just want to remind you that Rum is looking for the back-up man you left in the organization. He seems to have found something.”

Gin’s fingertips tightened slightly.

He did leave a backup back then, in order to prevent the organization from getting out of control and to protect himself at critical moments.

But once Rum is found, it will not only threaten him, but also implicate Akai Shuichi and the entire Akai family.

“He found something.” Gin’s voice became colder.

“It’s still unclear, but he has been looking through old files, and it seems to be related to… and the traces of your undercover period.” Vodka paused, and his tone became more cautious, “Brother, you must be careful. As soon as I have news here, I will find a way to inform you immediately.”

After saying that, Vodka hurriedly hung up the communication, not daring to stay for a second longer.

The room became quiet again, but the atmosphere was a bit more solemn than before.

Akai Shuichi looked at Gin’s slightly gloomy face and spoke softly: “The traces from the undercover period? Do you mean when Morohoshi was old?”

Gin nodded slowly, a hint of complexity flashed in his green eyes: “Yes. Back then, I cooperated with you as an undercover agent and deliberately left some vague clues to cover your identity and to contain the higher-ups. Those things cannot fall into Rum’s hands.”

Once exposed, it will not only confirm the fact that Gin was cheating in the past, but also completely expose Akai Shuichi’s undercover details, and even implicate the overall plan of the FBI and MI6.

Akai Shuichi immediately sat up straight and regained the calmness of an agent: “We must destroy the things before Rum.”

Gin raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes firm and steady:

“Okay.”

“This time, we are together.”

“Whether it’s an old score or a new grudge, let’s settle it together.”

Without any hesitation, Akai Shuichi gently held his hand, interlocking their fingertips with strength.

“Together.”

The wind outside the window blew gently, and the undercurrent that had just subsided quietly surged due to a reminder from the old department.

But this time, they are no longer alone, no longer against each other.

All dangers, all secrets, and all unresolved pasts will be faced by the two of them side by side.
