Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 189 Underground Auction (Part 5)

The auction was about to begin, and the members of the Black Organization gathered in the hall to exchange information. Gin looked at the food residue still on the corner of the mercenary's mouth and Vodka's face, which had turned red from drinking so much, and said through gritted teeth, "You two better find some incredible clues."

The mercenary calmly relayed the information he already knew: "In addition to the 'Eternal Beauty,' the Oritis Organization also sent some strange ancient pottery fragments as auction items. I sneaked into the preparation room to take a look, and they appear to be ordinary antiques, used to deceive others."

This confused Vodka. He saw the mercenary eating and drinking to his heart's content in the restaurant, looking as if he didn't take the mission seriously at all, so he went to the bar to slack off, thinking that even if he didn't find any clues, he would have someone to accompany him. But the mercenary came up and gave him a big bomb.

The small eyes behind Vodka's sunglasses revealed a big puzzlement: No, buddy, when did you sneak away to get information? I clearly saw you in the restaurant and you didn't move at all! Buddy and you are close friends, are you playing tricks on me?

Gin turned to look at Vodka. Under that pressured gaze, Vodka's red face began to turn pale. Fortunately, Gin didn't pursue the matter of Vodka slacking off.

Amuro Toru shared the information he had obtained: "Currently, there are four members of the Oritis Organization at the auction, two of whom should be from the Melody family."

Vermouth ran her hand through her hair. "I know that perfumer. I met her once before at the memorial service. I didn't expect she was from the Melodi family. It seems the Melodi family has a very rich industry, including perfumes and cosmetics."

"And that family head is actually a French parliamentarian. People like this may appear glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, a lot of the dirty work is done by their subordinates."

"Desi Melodi?" Amuro Toru frowned as he looked at the information in his hand. When it came to such a high-ranking official, he seemed to have no good way to counter.

Amuro Toru's inner thoughts: Damn it, can't the people from the Oritis Organization just stay in their own country? Stay away from my Japan!

The auction started soon, and many guests in the boxes and the hall were bidding for the artworks that were up for auction.

Toru Amuro had noticed the private room of Oritis and the others, and only raised his hand to bid on some famous paintings and jewelry.

"The item below is truly extraordinary. It's a legacy of the long-extinct Uriel family. It's the magic potion 'Eternal Beauty' that can keep people young forever!" The host on the stage was introducing the item with excitement.

[Bartender: That reminds me of that time when an underground organization wanted to buy my Dovlin formula.]

[Perfumer: So you didn’t agree, so they started to imitate it?]

[Antique Dealer: And then he was wiped out by Mr. Philip.]

[Jack: Come to think of it, the two snipers lying in ambush outside are actually staying together. This makes things convenient for me, as it saves me from having to run back and forth.]

[Sculptor: Where's your luggage? Didn't you bring it with you?]

[Jack: I brought excitement just in case.]

[Painter: I wonder if it's because I'm here that you're so excited.]

[Composer: That makes perfect sense.]

[Perfumer: Do you think Toru Amuro will come and cause trouble for us later?]

[Novelist: He might not come on his own, but he might ask his colleagues in the public security department to come and shut down this underground auction.]

[Ms. Farrow: Indeed, given his character, he would not allow such an auction to exist where guns are resold.]

[Lame Sheep: I'll use the Cage of Lost to divide the battlefield, but I can't handle the overwhelming number of people alone.]

[Po Lun: Hehe, then it will be our three brothers' turn to show off our skills.]

[Shadow of Time and Space: I'll teleport over there with the pottery shards and control them for a while.]

[Fire Investigator: A tribute to the legendary pursuit supervisor and the legendary control supervisor.]

[Lawyer: In order to prevent you from being confused about your location information, I have prepared a large number of maps for you.]

[Lucky Guy: I was wondering why the chances of finding toilet paper in boxes have gotten higher lately. Turns out you're the one behind it!]

[Doctor: Mr. Riley is also worried that everyone will lose their way...]

[Lawyer: Ever since the mini-map feature was revamped, you guys have been disdainful of my maps. Even before, whenever new scenes were released, you used my maps to explore them.]

[Philanthropist: That means you're out of fashion, lawyer.]

[Lawyer: At least I'm a top ranked favorite. Simple mechanics, extreme stats, and the power of fine-tuning. Activate!]

[Doctor: Prison Rule, you have three seconds to leave my ranking!]

[Evil Lizard: Ah, last time Mr. Percy was on the Lakeview Village ship, Mr. Riley stole five machines. As soon as the door opened, Mr. Percy was so angry that he just surrendered.]

[Fool's Gold: But his memories in Rio were sanctioned by me.]

[Gardener: I remember that game, after Lily was released, Norton was standing on the second floor of the big house, sniping, with his pickaxe flying everywhere.]

[Lawyer: I didn't expect that a big pickaxe like that could knock me down while I was repairing the gate ruins.]

[Cheerleader: The sniper was the winner, but I remember it ended in a draw.]

[Knight: That’s right, because I’m the one who saved the life this time.]

[Fool's Gold: When will I be strengthened?]

Gin, who was in the auction hall, looked at the several potion bottles on display and confirmed with Amuro Toru again, "Are you sure they're genuine?"

Amuro Toru nodded: "Yes."

"Vodka, notify those outsiders to attack directly."

Vodka was stunned when he heard this: "Just a direct force attack? Wouldn't that be too..."

Gin snorted coldly, "Do you think we're the only ones here after hearing the news? I suspect other organizations are also eager to take action against this kind of thing. To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, a direct attack is the best way."

The mercenary glanced at some people who were also participating in the auction in the hall. In addition to the artists, wealthy businessmen and collectors who came for artworks and antique jewelry, there were obviously several waves of forces. Those that seemed organized and disciplined should be other organizations besides the Black Organization.

After hearing what Gin said, Vodka no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the organization's peripheral members to gather and attack through his mobile phone.

With a loud bang, the crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the hall fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Gunshots rang out, followed by the screams of the wealthy businessmen and the sound of wine glasses and bottles being broken.

In fact, no organization dared to fire the first shot at this tense moment. It was the composer in the box who fired the first shot.

The composer calmly put the pistol back into his cane: "Now the venue will be in chaos."

"Damn it, someone started it first." The mercenary quickly grabbed Vodka and squatted under the chair to avoid the flying bullets, and kicked over a table to use as a cover.

Toru Amuro on the side was paying close attention to the surrounding environment. To be honest, Yuya Kazami had just sent him a message that the waiter at the hotel entrance had been delaying the police from entering. Now that the gunshots were heard, the police could naturally come in and search.

Gin watched everything that happened in the hall indifferently: "Kill the man first, then go get the potion."
