For the first time, she hugged Lin Che tightly, saying, "From now on, Curaçao will always be your exclusive color."
Of course, you've turned into my shape, okay?
Lin Che gently patted Curaçao's back. "Let's go eat. And tell me what you know while you're at it."
Curaçao nodded. "Actually, I don't know much. I work solely for a man named Rum, and I don't know much about my colleagues either. Most of what I know is just 'something I know'."
[Rum (???): A high-ranking member of the Black Organization, second only to the Boss. He has his own action team, and his identity is shrouded in mystery as he almost never appears in public. Even codenamed members rarely know what he looks like.]
[Successfully unmasked, reward: Brainwashing (Max).]
Well, the successful exposure has maxed out the brainwashing skills.
This is quite unexpected.
Lin Che thought that Curaçao had never met Rum and had no expectation of uncovering Rum's identity through her.
"Tell me about the other members of the organization you know."
"There's another person named Binga."
[Binga (50): A high-ranking officer and combatant in the Black Organization, skilled in intelligence gathering, possessing disguise abilities, and acting with ruthlessness and secrecy.]
[Successfully unmasked, reward received: Clue to the cross-age recognition system (hidden).]
Lin Che's eyes widened.
What is an age recognition system?
Wait... I think I vaguely remember this.
It's a key technology in "The Shadow of the Black Iron Fish".
Lin Che suddenly thought of Karasuma Renya.
Perhaps this technology will be used to find Karasuma Renya, and the other members of the organization should be able to be found in the same way.
Take a look at the task.
[Clues to the Cross-Age Identification System (Hidden): A groundbreaking dream floats on the Pacific Ocean. Everyone has someone they desperately want to find. Find a way to connect with the structure "Pacific Buoy" and ultimately obtain the cross-age identification system.]
[Task Rewards: 50 experience points, 1 photo of any specified character.]
Chapter 150 Legendary AK
Can you specify any photo?
This is far too obvious in its targeting.
However, in games, the missions are generally designed to meet the protagonist's needs and subsequent actions.
Lin Che had never seen "The Shadow of the Black Iron Fish" before; he had only seen it on short videos and knew that the core highlight of the movie was "Conan and Ai kissing".
It caused quite a stir on the trending topics at the time.
Seeing the barrage of criticism in the comments section, Lin Che lost interest in reading it and eventually forgot about it completely.
Curaçao's voice appeared at just the right moment, pulling Lin Che back to reality.
"Mr. Lin, how should I address you from now on?"
Lin Che shrugged. "You're being so polite with your words, why don't you just call me boss?"
boss......
But it seems our relationship is more than just that.
However, Curaçao couldn't think of a more suitable way to address him for the time being. It was absolutely impossible for her to use a very intimate term for Lin Che—she didn't know why, but she just felt awkward.
That's fine now.
Curaçao stopped dwelling on it. "Rum sent me back to Japan to temporarily replace Chianti, and this guy is..."
"No need to introduce her, I know her."
"Oh, she died in a mission not long ago, and we suspect it's related to Binga, so we arranged for me to come here to conduct some investigations."
"I killed Chianti, but why is Binga being suspected?"
Curaçao blinked, then looked surprised, but then thought it made sense.
Lin Che then began to speculate on Gin's thinking.
He mentioned rye whiskey, so why is he suspecting that Shangbinjia (a brand of whiskey) is involved?
I don't understand.
Lin Che shook his head and looked at Curaçao, "During the last operation, I also took out Vodka. Who do you think the organization will arrange to replace him?"
Curaçao frowned in thought. "The organization doesn't have many codename members available. They are mainly concentrated in Japan, with a small number of others scattered around the world."
“Vodka is Gin’s confidant, and it seems unlikely that anyone can replace him.”
"But if there's a real shortage of people, Bourbon might be assigned to the job. He's quite free, just like me."
"Rum holds a high position of power, and with such a major upheaval in Japan, he is bound to turn his attention here. Bourbon is a perfect intermediary."
Lin Che felt a little happy; it seemed the organization really had no one left.
At this moment, Curaçao suddenly suggested, "Mr. Lin, how about I go back to the organization and gather some intelligence for you?"
Lin Che questioned, "You've been missing for so long. If you go back now, you'll definitely be thoroughly investigated by the organization, and you might even be brainwashed again."
Curaçao's gaze was resolute. "As long as I can keep the secret, everything will be fine. I believe the organization's brainwashing can no longer work on me, not even with truth serum..."
At this point, a hint of recollection and pain flashed in her eyes. "I underwent rigorous training in my early years. I could endure truth serum and torture."
She only realized after she finished speaking that Lin Che had already walked a short distance away.
"Mr. Lin?"
“I disagree, and I won’t let you suffer this pain for nothing. Besides, I’ve already found a new source of intelligence.”
Lin Che's words were firm and left no room for refusal.
His tough stance warmed Curaçao's heart.
How could a criminal like myself have ended up like this?
Isn't this a kind of luck, or even happiness?
It's not the weekend, so there's no need to invite Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara to lunch.
After Lin Che led Curaçao to dinner, he drove to the outskirts of the city where weapons were stored.
It can only be said that private entities sometimes operate more unconventionally than official ones.
Although the quantity of weapons intercepted in Curaçao was not large, their quality was excellent.
Lin Che even found a classic AK-47 of epic quality inside.
He didn't find such a thing in the military's batch of weapons; the highest rank was only Master.
Even the M4A1 that Scowbin had before was only of excellent quality, and it was completely broken by the Desert Eagle and could not be used at all. He could only be disassembled into parts by Professor Agasa.
The appearance of this gun completely filled the gap in Lin Che's personal armory.
Lin Che gritted his teeth and directly used the Masterpiece Upgrade to elevate it to the Legendary rank.
【AK-47自动步枪（传说）：枪口动能+200%、理论射速+200%、射击后坐力-200%、有效射程+1000M、枪身重量-100%、弹容量+60。
Legendary Power: Faith Shot - When this shooting stance is adopted, weapon attributes are doubled and physical obstacles are ignored.
Holy crap, that's a faith-based shooting technique.
Does that mean that as long as you raise both hands above your head and pull the trigger, the already explosive gun attributes will be doubled, and the bullets can penetrate walls?
Lin Che possesses a detective's instinct, so shooting with both hands above his head is no problem at all.
But is this still a rifle?
With hands raised, it has an effective range of 2,000 meters, 4 times the muzzle energy, and can fire 90 rounds in rapid succession while ignoring obstacles.
What has this become?!
If we could actually get our hands on a sniper rifle that was already of epic quality and upgrade it, I can't even imagine how ridiculously powerful its stats would be!
A handheld high-precision missile launcher?
Conan can destroy a satellite with a single soccer kick, so my legendary sniper rifle should be able to shoot it straight into space without any problem, right?
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
If things continue like this, by the time he collects a full set of +10 legendary equipment, perhaps only aliens will be able to challenge him.
"Well done." Lin Che waved his hand and put all the weapons into the armory. "You may be assigned similar missions in the future."
Curacao asked curiously, "Are you a hitman who takes on jobs on the dark web?"
As memories are recovered, knowledge from many fields is also unlocked simultaneously.
Lin Che nodded, acknowledging the identity, and then explained, "Now that you've regained your memories, I'll also explain why you weren't allowed to participate in tomorrow's carnival."
“I suspect Vermouth is very likely to be there, and you’ll be in trouble if she sees you.”
Curaçao became even more curious.
Since their boss clearly possessed so much intelligence and even knew the whereabouts of someone like Vermouth, what was there to ask her?
However, she was quite wary of Vermouth, and said in a slightly somber tone, "How about we use me as bait to lure her out?"
Eh?
You really don’t want to say that.
Why didn't I think of this option before?
The reason for not using Conan to fish is to save the ace for later.
But there's no such concern when fishing in Curaçao.
After all, Curaçao will be right next to Ran Mouri at that time, and Vermouth will have no way of contacting Gin directly.
She will definitely come to Curaçao herself to find out the situation and take the bait.
Lin Che didn't believe that Vermouth could cause any trouble in front of him now; he could just arrest her directly.
"Call Xiaolan when you get back, and I'll disguise myself and sneak over there."
Curaçao nodded happily. "Hmm! Is there anything I need to prepare?"
Lin Che pondered for a moment and said, "Go buy a few pairs of black stockings now, we'll need them after dinner."
When I'm in a better mood, my energy levels also return to normal.
Curaçao's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly, "Okay~"
Chapter 151 Carnival
Buying stockings eventually turned into a large-scale shopping spree.
Lin Che had a strong desire to spend money and bought a lot of things for Curaçao.
From clothes to accessories to perfumes, everything that Curaçao liked was arranged, and in one go, she was dressed up as a beauty from CD City, with not a trace of her killer aura.
This is very much in line with Vermouth's usual image and style.
When it comes to enjoying life, no one in the organization can compare to her.
Unlike her last shopping trip, Curaçao was noticeably less cautious, and the people she encountered no longer doubted whether she needed help.
When others praised her and Lin Che as a perfect match, and considered Lin Che as her "boyfriend" or "husband," she was overjoyed and felt sweet all over.
The thought of having a deep conversation with Lin Che that night made her impatient, even though she had just spent a long time with him that morning.
Whenever she had a spare moment, her gaze would be fixed on Lin Che, a smile unconsciously playing on her lips.
Time flew by and it was already the next day.
Teitan Junior High School's school fair was held as scheduled.
Kogoro Mouri stood at the school gate, his eyes filled with reminiscence of the past.
He was once a prominent figure at this school, where he created three wonderful years of his youth.
