[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 45
byIntelligence and undercurrents, the first alliance
The morning light in the safe house is getting warmer, and the tension and confrontation last night have turned into the calm and orderly atmosphere after the alliance was established.
Mari and Masumi Sera didn’t stay long. After confirming Gin’s promise and stance, they left their contact information and a secret location for their follow-up meeting before turning around and leaving.Before leaving, Mary took one last look at Gin, her eyes still filled with scrutiny, but less murderous and more acquiescing to the alliance.
The door was gently closed, and the quietness of the two of them alone in the house finally returned.
Akai Shuichi turned around and walked to the sofa, squatted down, and carefully looked at the bandage on Gin’s left shoulder.The traces of bleeding did not expand and the wound was relatively stable, but the worry in his brows still did not dissipate.
“Don’t move too much. If you were in a stalemate for so long, you must have damaged the wound.” His voice was very soft, with his usual gentleness, “I will change your medicine again.”
Gin looked down at the man squatting in front of him, his dark green eyes filled with softness.He was used to being alone, used to dealing with wounds by himself, used to holding on alone in the dark, but at this moment, being cared for with such care, a strange and greedy warmth filled his heart.
“It’s okay.” He whispered, “It’s a small injury.”
“Here to me, as long as it’s an injury, it’s no small matter.”
Akai Shuichi looked up at him, his eyes so serious that he could not refute.He stood up and fetched the medical kit, and gently untied the old bandage, revealing the wound underneath that had been stitched but was still red.The bullet grazed the edge of the bone, just shy of serious injury.When he thought of last night’s scene, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.
During the process of changing the dressing, Gin kept looking at him quietly without looking away for a moment.
The old enemies who once fought to the death on the battlefield are now so close to each other that even their breaths are intertwined.The twist of fate was absurd yet real. As a person who never believed in destiny, he had to admit that some ties were destined as early as the moment when the swords pointed at each other.
“I will take care of Mary’s side.” Shuichi Akai said softly while wrapping a new bandage, “She is just vigilant and has no malicious intent. As time goes by, she will understand you.”
“I don’t need her to understand.” Gin said lightly, “I just need to stand by your side.”
One sentence made Akai Shuichi pause slightly in his hand movements.He raised his eyes and met Gin’s deep and serious eyes. His heart felt warm and he couldn’t help but gently hold his uninjured hand.
“Me too.”
Three simple words are worth a thousand words.
At this moment, the encrypted computer placed by Shuichi Akai on the table made a slight beep, which was the contact signal from Rei Fukiya.
He let go of Gin’s hand, walked to the computer, sat down, and unlocked the screen.The information compiled by the Japanese police immediately popped up on the screen – Rum’s interrogation records, traces of the organization’s recent actions, and the surveillance investigation report after Belmod’s disappearance.
Gin also stood up slowly, walked behind him and leaned over to look.The two of them were very close, their breaths intertwined, and the atmosphere was quiet and understanding.
“Rum has a tough mouth and hasn’t revealed the core information yet.” Shuichi Akai whispered, “Fanggu has been putting pressure all night, but there is still no progress.”
“He won’t tell.” Gin’s voice was a bit colder. “Rum has been loyal to the organization for half his life and is more stubborn than anyone else. Unless special means are used, you can’t pry his mouth open.”
“We cannot use illegal means.” Shuichi Akai frowned, “Japanese police and the FBI have a bottom line. Once they cross the line, they will be bitten by the organization.”
Gin was silent for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his dark green eyes: “I have a way.”
Akai Shuichi looked back at him: “What do you want to do?”
“I know him.” Gin’s tone was calm, but with absolute certainty, “What Rum cares about most is not the organization, but his own status and secrets. I know his weaknesses, as well as the private property and hidden threads he hides in the organization. Using these to force him is more effective than any torture.”
Akai Shuichi looked at the determination in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Now that the alliance is formed and the enemy is facing them, they need all the chips they can use to defeat the organization.Rum holds too much key information, including the true traces of that gentleman, and he must be allowed to speak.
“I will convey your intention to Fangtani.” Shuichi Akai typed on the keyboard and quickly replied to the message, “The three parties will act simultaneously. You, me, and Fangtani will meet in a secret place three days later to interrogate Rum together, and at the same time hand over the organizational intelligence in your hand.”
Gin said “hmm”, his eyes fell on Belmod’s name on the screen, and his eyes darkened slightly.
“Where’s Belmode?” he asked, “Last night there was chaos and she took the opportunity to disappear?”
“Yes.” Akai Shuichi’s face also became serious. “The surveillance camera captured her leaving the battlefield, and then she completely lost her trace. With her ability, no one can easily find her if she wants to hide her.”
Gin’s fingertips lightly tapped the table, and his tone was cold: “She will not give up. She protects Conan and Xiaolan, but does not break away from the organization. Her position has always been a mystery. If Rum is arrested, she will definitely take action, and it will not be small.”
“Her target is most likely Shirley.” Akai Shuichi said solemnly, “Haihara Ai is at the doctor’s house now, and with Conan by her side, she is safe for the time being, but we cannot take it lightly.”
When it comes to Haibara Ai, Gin’s eyes no longer have the murderous intent of the past, leaving only a dull expression.He had long given up on hunting down Shirley. Now in his world, there was only Shuichi Akai, and his only goal was to destroy the organization.
“I will send people to secretly keep an eye on the area near the doctor’s house.” Gin said calmly, “I still have a few trustworthy people on the periphery of the organization. They only take orders from me and will not be noticed by anyone.”
Akai Hide nodded, not questioning Gin’s arrangement at all.No one knows the organization better than Gin.
The sunlight outside the window has completely risen, illuminating the entire city.Under the seemingly calm streets, the undercurrent is still turbulent.
Rum was imprisoned, Belmod disappeared, and the top management of the organization was in turmoil. The gentleman was hiding in deeper darkness, waiting for opportunities.
The tripartite alliance has officially embarked on the road to the end.
Akai Shuichi turned off the computer, turned around and held Gin’s hand again, and gently pulled him back to the sofa to sit down.
“In the remaining time, you should take good care of yourself.” He said softly, “I will not allow you to force yourself on your actions in three days.”
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Gin’s heart softened, and she held his hand with her backhand and applied a slight force.
“I won’t let myself get hurt again.” He promised in a low voice, “Because I will stay with you until the end.”
The sun shines through the window and falls gently on the two of them, cuddling each other’s figures tightly together.
The war is coming, but as long as we have each other by our side, we have nothing to fear.
