This Kid Brother Might Actually Be an Idiot!
"Beep beep!"
About two hours later, Fujino continued to follow Gin on his motorcycle, only to hear sirens blaring as he headed towards the bar that had just exploded.
"This efficiency..."
Fujino glanced back at the flashing red windmill-shaped police lights, speechless, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
The Little Animal Organization or the Alcohol Company probably already dragged the carcass away by now, and they're only arriving now...
This efficiency is exceptionally high.
In a normal fire, the person would probably have been burned to ashes long ago.
The next morning.
"What is Gin made of anyway?"
Fujino sat on the roof of a factory building, yawning with dead fish eyes.
Fujino has been following them since last night and hasn't slept a wink all night.
During this time, I witnessed Gin execute a traitor of the organization and blow up a residential building, and I also witnessed Gin and his henchmen blow up a billiard hall belonging to the Animal Kingdom, and incidentally order a group of men in black to take down an Animal Kingdom stronghold.
Fujino felt that this Alcohol Company had a bit of a yakuza vibe about it.
You smashed my nightclub, so I'm going to blow up your brothel.
Criminal organizations... aren't they similar to gangs?
Maybe.
However, one can only say that he truly deserves to be called the Alcohol Company's model worker; he accomplished more in one day than he did in a whole week.
"It was pretty fun..."
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fujino took out a can of yellow-painted coffee from his Pocket Dimension, took a sip, and stretched. "But intrigue and scheming are still the most useful things. They're much more efficient than killing people yourself..."
As an outsider, he actually quite enjoyed watching these two groups fight.
Anyway, neither group was a good person, and a lot of people died, so that's that.
Even the thought that these people died because of him is unbearable.
Fujino, on the contrary, felt a surge of comfort!
She secretly felt her damned charm that had captivated so many men.
"Da da da da!"
Gin and Vodka quickly ran out.
Then the factory exploded again.
As the flames rose again, Fujino was completely numb.
They were completely unfazed by the explosion, and even felt a little amused.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Just then, a phone vibrated to alert me.
Fujino took out his phone and glanced at it; it was Ai Haibara calling.
This morning, he received a message from Ai Haibara, asking him to go and investigate Hara Yoshiki.
Thinking back now, they must have found a body...
Fujino thought for a moment and then answered the phone.
"Hello!"
Fujino feigned confusion and asked, "Ai, have you found any clues?"
"No..."
Ai Haibara shook her head slightly on the other end of the phone and said in a low voice, "Hara Yoshiki is dead. We found his body when we arrived."
"Dead?"
Fujino asked in surprise, "What was the cause of death?"
"We don't know yet."
Ai Haibara thought for a moment and then said, "I'll send you the photo."
Immediately, Fujino received a multimedia message from Ai Haibara.
The photo shows a fresh body that appears to have been shot in the abdomen, with blood staining the shirt; the person had been dead for a night and had just been discovered.
Beside the body was a small, broken porcelain cup.
It seems that Kisaragi Hōzui left this when he visited after those two brothers left yesterday.
"Judging from this wound, it is likely a gunshot wound."
Fujino pondered for a moment, "It seems the death was caused by a gunshot wound to the abdomen..."
"Is that Brother Fujino?!"
"Fujino- san, come quick! Mr. Hara is dead!"
Before Fujino could finish speaking, a few small chirping sounds came from the other end of the phone.
"You all need to calm down."
Fujino took a deep breath and calmly said, "You should go to the police Inspector Megure. Ask him to go to the scene to investigate. Don't disturb the crime scene until he arrives. I have some things to do here and can't go over for the time being."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the little ones seemed reassured and calmed down.
"These kids..."
Ai Haibara snatched the phone back from the few hands, complained under her breath, and then asked Fujino, "So, how's the situation on your end? You can't even get here for the murder case. It seems like you're in some kind of trouble."
"I don't have any trouble, it's just..."
"Boom!"
"BOOM!"
Before Fujino could finish speaking, a loud explosion came from the warehouse in front of him.
Fujino: "..."
Ai Haibara: "..."
After a brief silence, Ai Haibara asked in a calm, low voice, "That sound just now, it wasn't an explosion, was it?"
"Ahem..."
Fujino coughed lightly and awkwardly explained, "Would you believe me if I said I just happened to witness a car explosion?"
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "I believe you. Be careful... I'll prepare dinner for you when you come back tonight."
"Knew."
Fujino hung up the phone, glanced at the warehouse in front of him, and said with a strange expression, "Why does it feel like I've set some weird flag?"
That night.
Beika Park Lark Apartments.
Gin parked his car in front of the apartment and went straight into room 302.
At that moment, Vodka was frantically searching through the room.
"Big brother, you've arrived!"
Turning around, Vodka noticed Gin entering and greeted him.
"Snort!"
Gin snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "I didn't expect that woman to have rented an apartment here as a base without the organization's knowledge."
"The rent has been paid a year in advance, so it seems they intend to stay here."
As he spoke, Vodka looked at the phone on the coffee table beside him. "I just searched around and didn't find anything useful, nor any signs that anyone had lived there. The phone in the room was in voicemail mode, but the messages weren't recorded."
"It seems she's not smart enough to find this place, so there's no point in continuing to search for anything."
Gin chuckled dismissively, "But that woman is really naive, thinking she can escape with her sister... and planning to use this place as a shelter?"
"Dili li!"
Just then, the telephone in the room rang.
The two were taken aback and looked at the phone warily.
"This is Miyano. I am not home right now. Please leave your name and message after the beep."
The phone rang, and then Akemi Miyano's voice came through, followed by Shiho Miyano's voice. "Sister, it's me. I'll be attending the opening banquet of the Twin Towers soon..."
"Um?!"
Vodka paused for a moment, then looked at Gin: "Big brother, it's that woman!"
"I heard you."
Gin, on the other hand, had a complex expression on his face.
"It seems that woman has always been missing her sister..."
Vodka sneered, "They actually exposed their own whereabouts... How incredibly stupid!"
"..."
Gin stared at Vodka's sneer, which was strikingly similar to his own, and remained silent for a moment.
Did his own little brother really think Sherry would go there?
This young man must be an idiot!
Gin, cautious as ever, took a deep breath and looked at Vodka coldly, saying, "Do you really think that woman is that stupid?"
"What's the meaning?"
Vodka was momentarily confused.
Gin frowned.
How could I have accepted such a person in the first place...?
Oh well, anyway, they're quite loyal and obedient.
