I’m the Pay Thief at the Winery

The safest place at that time was the old house. After Karasuma Renye knew what happened and Nanling's injuries, she asked Gin to take him back here immediately as Nanling expected, even though Tottori and Tokyo were ten hours away by car. .

Knowing this, Nan Ling knew that his plan was half successful.

Renye Karasuma was indeed in a hurry.

That's why Nanling wanted to tell Conan and Akai Shuichi the location of the old house. Once they appear in the old house, Renye Karasuma's fear of the silver bullet will make him think that the old house is no longer safe.

So far, Renye Karasuma's "extreme conditions" for him to enter the base where he is located has basically met half of it.

after that...

Nan Ling looked at Belmode in the driver's seat, "Since you ask that, it proves that even in this situation, Renye Karasuma still didn't give the order for me to go to him?"

"That's right." Belmode said, "The order from that gentleman is to take you to the base in Hokkaido to hide for a while."

Nan Ling sighed.

"It seems that we still have to take risks."

He really didn't want to do this, but seeing Karasuma Renye's life-saving look, he had to use the most extreme means.

"Is the painkiller ready?"

Belmode glanced at him sideways with complicated eyes.

"Ready—but do you really think about it?"

"You asked this question before." Nan Ling took off his coat and temporarily put it aside, then he pulled out the pistol he had pinned to his waist, and put the muzzle of the gun against his thigh.

When he was still in Kubado Central Hospital, before he went to Mizuna Rena's ward, he called Belmode again. That time was mainly to confirm information about Reina Mizumu's mission, and it was also that time that Belmode told Nan Ling that her preparations had been completed.

Then Belmode confirmed whether the incomplete brainwashing had done any harm to Nan Ling's brain - because what he was going to do next was obviously not something a normal person could do.

Nanling's answer at that time was "Do I have to tell you personally that I will always be loyal to Mr.?"

Belmode certainly knew that Nanling hadn't been brainwashed, but his words were not aimless. Nan Ling was saying that if he didn't do this, he might really be brainwashed in the future, and it would be too late for him to resist at that time.

So he had to.

Belmode said that she still didn't think it was a good way, and Nan Ling replied that this was the best way. Belmode knew that he had already made a decision, and in the end he just reminded not to involve Conan and Mao Lilan. And Nanling was deeply concerned about how much Belmode cared about them, so he said don't worry, I will never forget.

That's what the two of them said in that phone call.

What Nanling will do next is very simple to explain.

The location of the old house is in Tottori Prefecture, and the place where the gentleman is also in Tottori Prefecture. The distance between these two places is no more than a quarter of an hour by helicopter.

And because that gentleman is in Tottori Prefecture, there are almost no organizational bases in other places in Tottori Prefecture. If you want to transfer from the old house to another safe base, it will take at least an hour or more.

It can also be seen from the order issued by Renye Karasuma that he believes that the nearby bases—if there are any—are no longer safe, so he can only order Belmode to transfer Nanling to the relatively safe Hokkaido base as soon as possible.

This can almost prove that Renye Karasuma no longer trusts the security of the nearby base—this is of course, and it is definitely not safe to be near the FBI and the police. Then, the safest and the closest base to the old house should actually be the base where Karasuma Renye is located.

It was only because of Karasuma Renye's caution that he did not adopt this theoretically optimal solution.

In this case, once something goes wrong with Nanling, Renye Karasuma can only choose to bring Nanling to his own base.

"Okay." Nan Ling said briskly, the muzzle of his gun on his thigh was shockingly stable, "Then please inform that gentleman that I was shot in the battle with the FBI, and my thigh The artery ruptured and bled profusely, and if it is not rescued in time, it will be in danger."

After speaking, he fired.

…

Conan looked at Rei Furutani with sympathetic eyes.

He had just heard from Jiang Gu Ling how Chater lied to him that Zhu Fu Jingguang was dead, and before he died, he was used as experimental material—all fake. Chat was just teasing him.

But Jiang Guling's psychological shadow is real.

This is not over yet, from Jiang Gu Ling's brief narration, he quickly outlined the image of a poor man who is used by Chater to play with his feelings every day, and Jiang Gu Ling said that Chater used another identity to deceive him. He, Conan thought, isn't this what he has experienced? So I felt more sympathy for Fugu Zero.

His sad mood lasted until Jiang Gu Ling said that Chater's false identity was 'Seven'.

"Wait, wait a minute?" Conan's eyes widened, "Brother Jianggu, who did you just talk about?"

"Seven." Jiang Gu Ling glanced at him inexplicably, "An underground doctor, I only found out today that this is one of Chater's identities. He has never shown any flaws before."

you're right. Conan thought, because I only found out today... This is actually one of Charter's identities.

…no.

……Wait a minute.

Etc., etc. Conan thought seriously. So Charter is Nanling, but at the same time Charter is also Seven.

In other words, seven is Nanling.

... The seventh is Nanling.

Seventh, Nanling is also Chater, the three of them are the same person.

ah?

The three of them are actually the same person?

…ah! ?

Conan's world view is on the verge of collapse tonight.

Holding on to the last sliver of reason, he turned his gaze to Zhu Fu Jingguang.

"Mr. Zhu Fu, Chater must not be Bai Zeliang—the two of them are not the same person at all, right?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't notice Conan's collapse, he just sighed silently, saying that it's useless to say these things now, and he won't use this name anymore.

Conan: ...?

Conan: Can you say it again?

Conan: So you said earlier that Ryo Shirazawa and Chater were not alone, just because he wouldn't use that name anymore?

Wait a moment.

In this way, what he suspected before, the three candidates for Charter - Nan Ling, Qi and Bai Zeliang - are actually all Charter?

Now even if Conan was told that Mori Kogoro was also an identity of Chater, he would not doubt it.

He felt now that Chat was all around him.

—The world view of Conan's children was completely shattered tonight. (end of this chapter)
