Chapter 84 Another day of being forced to work.
"Gin, this is kidnapping!"
At the entrance of the apartment building, Gin forcefully grabbed Bai Yexiu's arm and pulled him out, even though Bai Yexiu gripped the door frame tightly with his other hand, it was to no avail.
Bai Yexiu stared resentfully at the apartment door that was getting further and further away from him, while Gin, who was tugging at his arm, looked at him with a look of resentment.
"If you don't let go, I'll scream!" Bai Yexiu threatened without any real threat.
"..." Gin only glanced at him, said nothing, and didn't loosen his grip, but instead tightened it even more. His eyes seemed to say, "If you dare to shout, I'll make sure you can never shout again."
Bai Yexiu: ?_?
Meanwhile, Conan and Ai Haibara unexpectedly spotted Gin's car on the road, where the two little ones were nestled inside.
"Kudo, what do you want to do?"
"Of course, we'll install transmitters and bugging devices on this car."
"But we haven't even confirmed that this is his car yet..."
"What's wrong, Haibara?"
"...Look across the street."
When Conan looked out the car window, he was startled, just like Ai Haibara.
On the other side of the road stood three people whom Conan recognized very well.
Gin, vodka, and the boy he had seen several times.
Gin was seen forcefully gripping the black-clad youth's arm. The youth seemed to resist, repeatedly trying to take a step away, but Gin pulled him back each time. Vodka followed silently behind.
—It looks like Gin coerced the boy no matter how you look at it.
But Conan couldn't care less about that now. He quickly packed his things, wiped away his fingerprints, and hid behind the car with Ai Haibara.
"Wait, Gin-chan, you're not going to jaywalk, are you? That's dangerous..." Bai Yexiu noticed Gin's intention and tried to stop her.
Because Gin was standing on the side of the road looking around, clearly about to cross the road—if a car didn't brake in time...
But Gin said nothing, and just grabbed Byakuyasu and started crossing the road without fear.
Gin carries a terrifying aura; cars stop at the sight of him, and he randomly frightens one of the drivers into submission.
When he arrived at the car, Gin stared blankly at the messy footprints beside it.
"Why are the footprints next to the car so messy?" Gin frowned.
Upon hearing this, Vodka stepped forward and said, "It's probably just passersby who came to admire it; you rarely see your car these days."
Gin's expression softened again, but—
"Tch." Bai Yexiu looked disdainful and casually remarked, "Only vodka is good at flattery."
"You...!" Vodka felt an urge to chase the boy in front of him far away.
How could you so bluntly admit that you're flattering someone?!
"Shut up, all of you." Gin's face darkened again, and he tightened his grip on Byakuya's arm.
"Ouch... Ouch, it hurts...!"
With Bai Yexiu's cry of pain and the sound of two car doors closing, the car carrying the three people sped away.
The two children finally stood up. Conan looked in the direction the car had gone and a person came to mind—Ryuzawa.
For a moment, he felt that the boy's personality was really like Long Ze's, if it weren't for the difference in voice and appearance...
After getting into the car, Gin didn't give Byakuya a chance to speak, but instead answered a phone call.
"Yes, it's me. How are things on your end?"
"What? They haven't arrived yet?"
"What are you worried about? The target will be at Beika Hotel at 6 p.m. sharp. He doesn't know that today is his memorial service with you... Don't mess it up, Pisco."
Bai Yexiu's lips twitched as he listened to Gin reveal all the key information in just a few words.
He only remembered when he got in the car that Conan seemed to have installed a transmitter and a bugging device in the car, and that today was the day Gin met Sherry.
Although he wanted to go and see what was going on, he was feeling very unwell due to the side effects of the medication.
"Cough cough cough..." Bai Yexiu coughed a few times uncontrollably.
"What's wrong, Cointreau?" Gin glanced at him.
"I think I've just been sick lately," Bai Yexiu offered as an excuse.
After all, the boss had instructed that even Gin should not be told about this.
Conan's eyes widened on the other side—
It's Cointreau! So that boy's codename was Cointreau!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"There's a brown hair here..." Just as Byakuya had predicted, Gin picked up a hair from beside his seat.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Vodka asked curiously.
Gin silently pulled a small wad of something wrapped in chewing gum from the side of his seat.
"Brother, what is this again?" Vodka asked twice.
“It’s a transmitter and a bugging device.” Gin crushed the little thing to pieces with a slight squeeze of his fingers.
"Huh?? Then we...?" Vodka asked three times in a row.
"parking."
……
On the roadside, Vodka was carefully checking the car for anything else that might have been hidden inside, while the other two...
"Jun Du, you better behave yourself." Gin grabbed Bai Yexiu, who was trying to sneak away, and pulled him to his side.
Bai Yexiu wasn't very tall, but Gin, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, easily lifted him off the ground by the back of his collar, like he was carrying a chick.
Bai Yexiu: ...
Okay, another day of being forced to work.
