The other three silently looked at Morofushi Hiromitsu and then looked away. Because they have been working together for a long time, they naturally lowered their guards slightly when they were with each other.
Otherwise, they would be in the state of tension all the time…
No, that's wrong.
For nearly three years, they have been in the state of both tension and relaxation and it was only Kurokawa Saki who was often in the state of tension. Because they were ghosts and only had to be careful but they would not be seen by the members of the organisation, so they almost had no fear of anything.
But Kurokawa Saki is different.
She had to act almost all the time and was the one in the state of tension.
At this moment, Morofushi Hiromitsu really wanted to scold his childhood friend for provoking Kurokawa Saki when she was not in the good mood. Even though they all have seen those 16 people have all become ghosts and then Kurokawa Saki made the arrangement, but it was still not a pleasant thing to kill people.
None of them liked it.
…
Bourbon was driving Vermouth away from the scene. As much as he felt disgusted and angry with the death of these people, he remained calm and nonchalant on the surface.
"You killed so many people. How do you plan to clean them up?" Bourbon asked. "It's not your usual style to make it such a big scene."
"Ah, leave it to Sake." Vermouth smoked lightly.
"Sake?"
"Haven't you heard about it before?" Vermouth smiled faintly. "The Moriarty of the Organization… a person who could frame other people so perfectly. No matter how big the scene is, someone else will take the blame and Sake will never be suspected in the end."
Bourbon's eyes widened in shock and his fingers gripped on the steering wheel. He took a deep breath and asked, "How did he do that?"
It was obvious that Sake was the one who killed those people, how could she make it so that the blame would be put on others?
"I don't know." Vermouth was not lying.
She never knew how Sake did it, but even after killing thousands of people all over Europe, some even happened in public and there were many cases that put her on the list of suspects.
But in the end, there was no evidence to detain her.
She always escaped unscathed.
"Sake is like…. A ghost."
A ghost?
Bourbon's expression was a bit ugly.
Because Sake was active in different regions, he never heard much about the other party and only some rumors. Because the areas where Sake was active were the areas where he couldn't get much information.
And now, hearing Vermouth's evaluation of Sake, he realized that this is an extremely dangerous person.
"Framing others is also your speciality, isn't it?" Bourbon let out a chuckle and his purple gray eyes narrowed slightly. "And I thought that you're the best at this."
"I can't compare to Sake." Vermouth shook her head.
At most, she could pretend to be a killer through disguise, but if she was asked to kill several people while being surrounded…
Vermouth sighed in her heart when she thought about Sake.
"Then he…"
"Bourbon, if you're really curious about Sake, you can approach him on your own." Vermouth gave a warning look. "But if you end up offending the other party and suffer… don't tell me that I don't remind you."
"I know." Bourbon narrowed his eyes.
He still has to collect more intelligence about Sake if he really wanted to deal with the other party.
This time, the opponent is really troublesome.
…
And Vermouth was right that the next day, the newspaper told that a murderer had run out of the prison and killed several people in that party. Seeing that the case had nothing to do with them, Bourbon deeply understood why Sake was given that nickname in the organization.
He tried to inquire but the information was tight lipped and the case was closed very quickly.
Does Sake have someone helping him from the official agencies?
Unfortunately, he didn't have that much connection here.
After trying to dig out information for days, what he got was nothing more than some useless information, so he could only put it down and tried again in other cases. Perhaps he could try to see how Sake handled the clean up scenes when he had the chance in the future.
After that, for the next week Kurokawa Saki decided to take on some missions on her own and avoided Vermouth and Bourbon.
This made Vermouth confused and then she immediately turned to look at Bourbon. "Did you offend Sake somewhere?"
"I don't think so?" Bourbon blinked his eyes, looking incredibly innocent.
"Heh." Vermouth sneered and then decided to go on her own for today. Even though eating and drinking with Bourbon is fun, she hoped that she could spend more time with Sake. Outside the mission of course because she was too dangerous to be contacted during the mission.
It was rare to see someone who suited her taste very much.
A girl who could act and play around, yet she chose to stay in the action group because she likes killing. Even so, Vermouth always found Sake's tastes to be very good and she knew how to enjoy herself.
Totally different from those others from the action group who only knew how to drink in the bar.
They have no taste.
Bourbon's eyes flickered.
The bug was found as soon as it was placed and there was no sound at all. This meant that Sake was extremely cautious and presumably also sensitive. Such a person was extremely hard to deal with.
Unfortunately, there's no chance for him to take action.
While Kurokawa Saki was busy on her own doing various missions to meet her yearly KPI quickly, it was time for the trip of Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran.
No. 2, Kayama Ichiro, managed to squeeze in by flirting with Suzuki Sonoko.
Anyway, when No. 4 saw him walking with the two girls on the street, she was horrified and almost wanted to call the police. Oh wait, she's a police officer herself.
Unfortunately, Kayama Ichiro behaved as an ordinary classmate of these two people, so no. 4 couldn't really detain him.
As for No. 6, she didn't know how to get close, so she decisively departed on her own. She'll make an excuse upon her arrival!
"This place is indeed quite remote." Kayama Ichiro sighed when he saw the place. He was not interested in the murder case that would happen.
Moreover, Kayama Ichiro didn't remember this case.
While he did watch and read Conan, he only remembered a few most memorable ones. For example, the Moonlight Shadow Island serial murder case, or the one where Akai Shuichi shot Kogoro Mouri…
Yeah, he didn't remember much.
"Ah yes, I'll introduce you to Sumiya Hiroki, Oota Masaru, Takahashi Ryouchi, Ikeda Chiyako, and my sister, Suzuki Ayako!" Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly.
Kayama Ichiro gave a polite smile when he heard that.
So upon the arrival, he looked at the five people and decisively stayed behind with Suzuki Ayako, claiming that he will help her to make dinner.
"I didn't expect you to be able to cook, Classmate Kayama."
"I live alone. If I can't cook, I'll have to eat takeout everyday." Kayama Ichiro shrugged. He thought about the Suzuki Family information that he had gathered in the past few days and decisively talked about those.
So when Mouri Ran and Conan finally arrived and then they gathered, Conan also met with Kayama Ichiro for the first time.
"Huh? Classmates?" Conan asked with shock. He had never seen Kayama Ichiro before!
"I transferred a week ago, Little Brother." Kayama Ichiro looked at Conan Edogawa and then shifted his eyes away.
For one who didn't know the truth, he really looked like a little brat.
"A week ago?" Conan frowned and looked at Kayama Ichiro suspiciously. He had turned into Edogawa Conan precisely a week ago. The timing is a bit impeccable, isn't it?
Kayama Ichiro blinked his eyes and then looked away. "Miss Ayako, how about if we continue to discuss it?"
Suzuki Ayako looked helpless at Kayama Ichiro's enthusiasm and then started talking about the business of the Suzuki Family.
Conan looked at these two people speechlessly.
While he was indeed suspicious of this high school student who suddenly appeared and suspected that he came to find him, but seeing his action that was more interested in Suzuki Ayako…. Conan felt that he was wasting time.
Still, he didn't stop watching Kayama Ichiro from the side.
