Inside the submarine, Gin's face was cold.
He pulled a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Sherry really was not dead. I knew we did not find her body in the lab back then.
But why did Sherry shrink? Is that little girl really Sherry?
Gin also had doubts.
But it did not matter. Whether that little girl was Sherry or not, as long as he caught her and brought her to him, Gin believed in his ability to recognize at a glance whether she was the real Sherry.
Thinking this, Gin took out a lighter. Just as he was about to light it, a hand from the side held his wrist.
Gin's fierce eyes looked to the side, and he said in a low voice, "What are you doing, Martini?"
Toru smiled and said, "Gin, we're in a submarine. There's no smoking area. I suggest you don't smoke."
Gin's hand trembled, and he put away the lighter, throwing the cigarette in his mouth onto the floor.
He had been too excited just now and had almost lit the fire in his hand.
Although he was sometimes stubborn and self-righteous, Gin valued his life very much. If he caused a fire inside the submarine, everyone here would die.
However, being advised by Toru made Gin unhappy. He snorted coldly. "Martini, take our Ms. Naomi back to her lounge."
At this time, Vodka had already left the submarine, following Gin's orders to capture Haibara.
Having been the Boss for a long time, Gin was not used to doing these tasks. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he handed the troublesome matter to Toru.
This time, Toru did not refuse him. Toru looked at Gin deeply a few times, then directly carried Naomi on his shoulder and left the captain's cabin without saying a word.
As soon as he left, Toru quickly pressed a button on a small device in his pocket, sending a signal to Mary on the distant island and informing her in advance that enemies were coming.
Immediately after, Toru took Naomi to an empty lounge and threw her onto the bed.
The unconscious Naomi slowly woke up. She looked at the handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes in front of her in horror, then backed away with her hands and feet, shrinking into the corner of the wall.
Vodka was ruthless and had truly tortured her.
Although Naomi was a young genius, she was just an ordinary girl and had not undergone special training, so how could she withstand such physical harm?
"Don't be afraid."
Toru pretended to glance outside the room and quickly said, "...I am from the American CIA, and I am currently undercover in this Organization. You don't have to worry, I will save you."
Although the CIA was notorious in the eyes of those in the know, in Naomi's heart at this moment, Toru was an official person, and even from the CIA that often appeared in movies. She immediately felt hope.
However, as a highly intelligent person, Naomi did not fully believe him and was also afraid that Toru was deceiving her. She cautiously asked, "Where is this place?"
"This is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. You are in a submarine, and you were captured by an international criminal group. You should know how powerful an international criminal group that owns a submarine is."
Toru's speech was still very fast. "...I can't tell you too much. Our time is also limited. I need you to tell me the source code of the full-age identification system."
"This Organization has only temporarily obtained the right to use this system, but the source code must never fall into their hands."
Toru's words made Naomi even less convinced, and she thought Toru was trying to get the system's source code this way.
Seeing her expression, Toru pretended to be anxious and said in a low voice, "I know you still don't trust me. Do you know Shiho Miyano?"
"Shiho?!"
Naomi's expression brightened, and she became agitated.
"That's right, Shiho. Like you, Shiho is also being persecuted by this Organization. You are an engineer, and Shiho became a pharmaceutical researcher after graduation."
"Now, Shiho is also under our CIA protection, avoiding this Organization's pursuit."
As Toru spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket.
He opened the photo album, which contained some photos he had taken when Haibara was older.
He showed these photos to Naomi, quickly swiping through them.
Both the photos and the dates displayed made Naomi believe that Shiho was indeed being protected by the CIA!
Immediately, Naomi trusted him.
Naomi whispered a website address and told Toru, "I saved the source code in this private cloud storage."
"Do you have it saved on your personal computer?"
"No, I also have a backup saved on a portable hard drive. I hid it, so no one will find it."
"Tell me the address. We need to transfer that hard drive in advance."
Naomi, who had already told him the online storage address of the source code, did not hesitate this time and told Toru an address in America.
Toru memorized it and said to Naomi, "Very good, you did well. This Organization will first try out your system to see if it's useful."
"If it's useful, they might try to get the source code from you. I will try my best to save you before that. What you need to do now is wait and don't do anything foolish, understand?"
Naomi nodded repeatedly. She asked in fear, "C-can I live?"
"Trust me, Ms. Naomi Argento. After I rescue you, I will have Shiho Miyano contact you. Also, don't look at me here. Pretend you don't know me, understand?"
After saying this, Toru left the empty lounge.
He stood outside the hatch, a smile playing on his lips.
He also had to thank Haibara. Her name and photos were really useful. Without Haibara, Naomi probably would not have truly believed him.
And the name of the American CIA was also very useful. After all, it was an official agency, which would always make ordinary people trust it.
Toru took out his phone and sent a message to Haibara, which contained a website address.
At the same time, he sent a message to Curacao in Europe, giving her a new mission to go to America and retrieve that hard drive.
This way, as long as the Pacific Buoy was destroyed and the system it carried was destroyed, then the source code in the cloud storage would also be completely deleted. Even Naomi herself would probably find it difficult to replicate this system.
This system would belong exclusively to Toru!
Toru's phone had been modified by the CIA and would never have its information or signals intercepted. After doing this, Toru also felt much more relaxed.
He got what he wanted most.
