Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 377: A chessboard with no way out

It can’t be that gloomy?!

Amuro Toru was now a little worried about leaving Yin Jiu alone in the hotel, so he sat back down at the head of the bed with a worried look on his face.

To Yin Jiu, this seemed to be his younger brother following his advice and not planning to stay for long. Instead, he was seriously considering a specific action plan to bring the person back to the organization.

This is right!

Yin Jiu blinked his eyes, showing his usual innocent smile, and retrieved recent information about Bancang Zhuo from his mobile phone: "There are some abnormalities in Bancang Zhuo's recent movements."

When Yin Jiu was retrieving files from his mobile phone, Toru Amuro also turned to the same interface.

"Does it mean that the other party accepts commissions from three companies at the same time?"

"Yes," Yin Jiu nodded. Seeing that Toru Amuro had also opened the task information interface, he closed his phone and took the initiative to move over. "I have heard that Mr. Itakura is used to working in an environment where no one can disturb him. So once there is urgent work, he will hide alone in a hotel where no one knows about it."

"From the perspective of the target's habits, there is absolutely no problem."

Yin Jiu paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "But this time it's a little different."

"...Do you think that this time, the other party is preparing to flee the country?" Toru Amuro flipped through the work list of Taku Itakura on the computer, and clicked on the last few lines of records thoughtfully.

These are the creative contents that Taku Itakura has recently taken on for three game companies.

Go, chess, and shogi.

There was a hint of contemplation in Toru Amuro's eyes. It was impossible to complete several games with such different styles at the same time in such a short time.

To think of it another way, this is a poor programmer who has been forced into a desperate situation by an evil organization and is ready to fight to the death.

So in this desperate situation where he was in danger of death, what would the code word he wanted to convey mean?

"Maybe he's admitting defeat. After all, he's already gone through the entire chessboard. If he loses all, the chess player would feel there's no way to retreat, right?" Yin Jiu's eyelashes drooped. The original book did not give much explanation as to why Itakura Taku chose these three games.

However, at this moment, Yin Jiu suddenly felt a strange worry in his heart.

Japan, Europe, America, China. . .

Could it be that Itakura Taku is hinting at the composition of the organization's top management?

Itakura Taku had been in contact with the organization for quite some time, but after his unfortunate death all that was left for Conan were a few short records in his computer diary.

The output of such clues is obviously totally disproportionate to the time Itakura has been in contact with the organization.

So in the original work, could it be that someone had actually cleaned up Itakura Taku's belongings in advance?

Yin Jiu's fingers tapped on the table unconsciously a few times, but he denied his own idea. If this was the case, there would be no need for Vodka to go and get the software in person, and he was almost fooled by Conan.

The mission seemed to be temporarily at a standstill here, but as an experienced winery employee, Yin Jiu obviously would not give up so easily.

"It seems that we can only use some special means." Yin Jiu chuckled, took out a small card from his sleeve and handed it to Amuro Toru, "I think Itakura Taku may also be confused about the future path, we should give him a hand."

"?" Toru Amuro was originally listening to Yin Jiu's interpretation and was still pondering the intention of Itakura specifically accepting different board games. He subconsciously took the card, and when he lowered his head, he suddenly saw some words on it that were not suitable for children. His face immediately turned black.

"Don't show that expression." Yin Jiu, as if he had expected it, gently pressed his agent's shoulder and pushed him back to his seat.

"If a hotel induces minors to make such purchases, it will be closed down. I believe the lady at the front desk does not want such a complaint to be brought to her boss."

Yin Jiu smiled, and skillfully smoothed the small card in Amuro Toru's hand and pressed it behind the other's phone case. "It's not convenient for me to come forward in this matter. Brother Toru, you should know what to do."

Toru Amuro took the card and mobile phone again, this time his expression was a little bit indescribable, he understood what Yin Jiu meant.

Using this kind of thing to coerce the front desk to hand over the residents' information or something... Well, this behavior is indeed in line with the organization's usual style.

However, complaints must be made!

Toru Amuro left with the small card and cell phone, gnashing his teeth.

Yin Jiu opened the interface of Itakura Taku's task again, but this time he used the portable tablet that had been secretly hidden in his clothes to log into Glenfiddich's account.

"What's wrong? Did something unexpected happen with Itakura Taku's mission?" Vermouth had been monitoring Amuro Toru's actions behind the scenes. When she saw the account representing Glenfiddich come online, she immediately asked in the headset.

"The situation cannot be confirmed for the time being." Yin Jiu looked at the information for a while. Through Glenfiddich's account, he could see the contents of the file more clearly and confidentially.

"Speaking of which, Vermouth, you have also had contact with Itakura Taku. What kind of person do you think he is?"

"..Are you talking about personality? If I have to say, I think he is probably the kind of person who is cautious and a little childish." Vermouth thought for a while and found the middle-aged man with slightly sparse hair in the corner of her memory.

"After that guy realized the existence of the organization, he was scared like a quail. But what's interesting is that in such a dangerous situation, he still had the mind to write a diary, and the means of hiding were those of an elementary school student..."

"Elementary school student's method..." Yin Jiu recalled the scene in which Itakura Taku hid the real contents of the diary in the blank lines of the diary, and twitched his lips.

This assessment seems to be correct.

The method that could be easily interpreted by a high school student must have a backup on the organization's side. Yin Jiu controlled the mouse and sure enough, he saw a copy of the diary in the original plot in the attachment of the document.

"Since the outside members have already discovered that he might reveal the organization's behavior to the outside world, why didn't he delete the diary in advance?"

"Isn't it to provide Itakura Taku with more freedom and to calm the emotions of this cowardly mouse?" Vermouth's tone was slow and leisurely, but it only earned her a mocking sneer from Yin Jiu.

"Okay, okay. It was just for fishing, actually."

"The CD has long been injected with a virus program for tracking. Once someone opens it, the organization will receive the other party's real-time address."

"Oh?" Yin Jiu was reluctantly interested and sat up straighter. "If the contents of this CD are copied by someone, wouldn't the virus be transferred along with it?"

Then there is an explanation for the situation in the original book where Gin suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Vodka's actions, and rushed to the scene at the critical moment to destroy the fingerprints and saliva left by Vodka.

But... why did someone as cautious as Gin choose to stop just when he was about to open Conan's locker?

It can't really be the protagonist's halo, right?

Yin Jiu, who successfully assassinated Hattori Heiji, did not think this was the entire reason.
