I’m the Pay Thief at the Winery

"From the very beginning... it was..."

Conan glared at him. At this moment, he suddenly understood what he had overheard before, about Charter's departure from Belmode.

Belmode was known as the Witch of Thousand Faces, and it was from her that Chater learned the skill of disguise. This is how to carry out the mission tonight.

This is also why Shirazawa Ryo said that Akai Shuichi would not find him while pretending to be Chatter. It was precisely because his disguise skills had been recognized by Belmode and reached the point of perfection.

"That's right." Nan Ling snapped his fingers briskly. After getting rid of the identity that needed to be disguised, he seemed to let himself go more freely than before, "It was me from the beginning, Shirley handed it over to Belmode—"

"Why!"

As soon as Zhu Fu Jingguang said the words, he knew that he was a little impulsive.

But he couldn't control it. The moment he saw Nan Ling take off his mask, and more importantly, when he saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face, the doubts in his heart exploded at this moment.

"Why are you doing this, Chater?"

"Huh? Does this need a reason?" Nan Ling turned to look at him. Although he still had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, "I am a member of the organization, and hunting Shirley is the task assigned to me by that gentleman, and Belmode is my colleague, although I am not It is obligatory to protect her, but it is still possible to prevent her from falling into such an obvious and careless trap set by you."

Zhu Fu Jingguang's voice was a little jerky. He heard what Nan Ling meant.

"You know I'm asking more than that," he said. "Why didn't you come to me?"

Nan Ling looked at him, and the smile slowly disappeared from his face.

After a while, he sighed helplessly.

He didn't even want to see the expressions on Akai Shuichi and Conan's faces. After tonight, if Akai Shuichi couldn't guess Zhu Fu Jingguang's identity within a month, it would be because of his abnormal performance.

He first took off the communicator on his ear, threw it on the ground and crushed it thoroughly before speaking.

"Do you have to be like this?" Nan Ling asked him, "Bai Zeyou, do you have to be like this?"

He bit the alias hard, as if reminding him of something.

"Now is the best time." Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at him with a look that Nanling didn't want to think about, "There will never be members of the organization here, and you are the one who arranges the snipers. It is in your hands at any time. You are the one who holds the initiative, and the power to answer is also in your hands."

He even smiled when he said this, "If it weren't for this, you should have turned your head and left by now."

After so many years of getting along, Zhu Fu Jingguang knew more about Nanling than the two present.

Although he usually looks lazy, once he gets serious about doing things, he has the habit of always putting himself in the leading position. He has a strong desire to control when working, and he often does not reveal all his plans to others. Give yourself leeway and secrets.

This is obviously a habit that can only be developed in an environment that is often in danger. For Zhu Fu Jingguang who had been an undercover agent for many years and was in the same environment, it was not difficult to detect.

"…Good for you."

Listening to Zhu Fu Jingguang's natural mention of the fact that he could take their lives at any time, Nanling suddenly didn't want to talk much.

"It's really frustrating, Bai Ze-jun." He sighed and said, "Speaking of which, who changed your disguise for you? The effect is not bad..."

He asked this question only to realize that he was too much to ask.

In the world, apart from Kuroba Pirates who doesn't know where he is and Kuroba Kaito who has nothing to do with Zhu Fu Jingguang, there are only three people left: himself, Belmode and Kudo Yukiko.

He and Belmode are of course impossible. Since Kudo Yukiko has already helped Hattori Heiji change his appearance into Kudo Shinichi to go to the banquet, then he can naturally help Mo Fu Jingguang change his appearance.

"Oh, forget it." He said, "I do owe you an explanation - just ask if you have anything to do, I still have a lot to do in the future."

"You said that the next time you come to see me, let me give you an answer." Zhu Fu Jingguang immediately asked, "I have prepared the answer, but I haven't waited for you."

Why didn't he wait to come to Nanling?

"That." Nanling said a little tiredly, "If you really want to cooperate with me, you will contact me before I find you. I didn't block you. But you have been silent... Isn't that Did you answer?"

Even if he really went to find Zhu Fu Jingguang, and the latter agreed to cooperate with him, it was a decision he forced to make. Only when Zhu Fu Jingguang came to him on his own initiative, did he not resist his proposal so much.

Whether to cooperate or not, Nan Ling hopes that Zhu Fu Jingguang can decide for himself.

If it was because of his persecution that Zhu Fu Jingguang gave up his insistence...he has no hobby of forcing a good man into prostitution. His plan was extremely risky. If he was unwilling from the very beginning, the failure of the plan would be a small matter, but the death of a person would be a big problem.

"And..." Nan Ling smiled involuntarily when he thought of this, and his tone deliberately became more teasing, "You are not the only partner of mine, maybe I have found a better one?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang was silent.

He had to admit that when Nan Ling said that he was actually responsible for the human experiment project that he had pursued for a long time, but he knew this but did not choose to tell himself, Zhu Fu Jingguang was really angry.

You are well aware of the dangers of human experimentation. he thinks. You know how many people will be implicated. You know what they're going through - and you've been there.

Why can you say such things in such an understatement? Why when you talk about human life, all I can see is your indifference? If they are people from two worlds after all, why did they take the risk to save themselves?

Zhu Fu Jingguang once thought that the trust and bond between the two of them was very strong, maybe this was just an illusion. The reason why they have been able to spend so many years peacefully is only because they have not really teamed up against the organization in the true sense.

From the beginning to the end, it may be just a fragile illusion formed between the villain suddenly discovered by conscience and the rescued with hope.

So when he proposed cooperation, Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't even think about agreeing at the first time.

He knows, UU reading www. uukanshu.com If Nan Ling said that many people would die, then many people would definitely die. He wasn't sure if he could accept it, so he chose to wait.

But tonight, he suddenly realized that he had thought about many possibilities that Nan Ling would not come to him - none of which was because Nan Ling handed over the power of choice to himself.

During their years of getting along, Nan Ling wasn't pretending all the time.

When he said those words, while he was in charge of human experiments, he also saved a lot of people from the White Crow—saved him, and probably many others.

And now, what made him even more unacceptable was that the first person to let go...maybe himself.

"...It's too late now, isn't it?"

"right."

Nan Ling's answer was light and airy, and quickly dissipated in the night wind.
