Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 213 Golden Rose Theater (Part 1)

Inside the Black Organization's safe house, Gin, with a cold face, was reviewing his actions at the last auction.

"Damn the Oritis Organization! Sooner or later, I'm going to beat those guys to a pulp."

Vodka persuaded Gin from the side: "Brother, calm down. Many of us were injured last time. It seems unrealistic to confront Oletus head-on again."

Chianti and Collen on the side looked like they had just recovered from a serious illness. Although the injuries caused by Jack were not fatal, they were enough to make these two people suffer.

Toru Amuro sat aside and stared at the mercenary, but the mercenary completely ignored his gaze and calmly ate his meal.

Seeing the mercenary's lack of reaction, Amuro Toru shared the information he had gathered: "After the last operation, the auction house changed hands, and the mastermind behind it has been identified: the Melody family. They intend to use that potion to lure out the remaining members of the Uriel family."

Gin frowned and looked at the undertaker who was sitting quietly beside him: "Mellodi family, hum, as expected..."

"Furthermore, the Melody family appears to be a member of the Oletus Organization, and there are many other families connected to this organization. Rum's suggestion is to temporarily stop fighting the Oletus Organization and see if there is any opportunity to cooperate with them."

After Toru Amuro finished speaking, he looked at the embalmer like everyone else. Since the Uriel family and the Melodi family had a grudge, the embalmer would probably oppose such a suggestion.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the undertaker did not seem emotional upon hearing the news: "I will obey the organization's arrangements, but I will continue my research on 'Eternal Beauty'."

The mercenary spoke up at this time: "Regarding this potion, I heard that the Golden Rose Troupe's leading actress seems to be supported by the Melodi family, and the cosmetics she uses daily are all provided by the Melodi family."

Vermouth recalled the red butterfly she saw on the train and felt deeply that the Oritis Organization was unfathomable. "I know that actress, Mary Clayburgh, better known by her stage name 'Mrs. Bella'."

"It just so happens that the Golden Rose Theater will be coming here for a tour soon. We can consider going and finding out what's going on." The mercenary continued.

Vermouth smiled and said, "Really? But I heard that the tickets for the troupe's touring performances were sold out long ago. Do you have any other channels to get tickets, Negroni?"

"I know someone in the troupe. I met him when I was in the army. He's doing very well in the troupe now. For the sake of our old comradeship, it's no problem for him to get me some tickets, but..."

The mercenary said as he pulled out three tickets from his pocket. "He gave me one as a gift, and I bought the other two from him at a high price. My family's savings are almost empty, and he still has the nerve to say it's a friendly price."

[Explorer: 20% off the friendly price, and buy two get one free.]

[Mercenary: You're such a scoundrel! You're just transferring money from one hand to the other!]

[First Mate: That's right, the meal money you gave to Naib last month is now all back in your pocket.]

[Novelist: You are obsessed with money.]

[Entomologist: For Campbell, this is perfectly normal.]

[Explorer: So, you're supposed to ask the Black Organization for reimbursement. Wouldn't it be better to cheat them out of it?]

[Mercenary: Thank you so much.]

[First Mate: By the way, Norton, let me tell you about the rent for our vinyl store...]

[Surveyor: Ask Pearson about real estate.]

[Philanthropist: I've already contacted your landlord and bought the store directly. This way, we can also build some backrooms and basements inside the store.]

[Forward: Great! Luca finally has a place to put all those wasted reels of film.]

[Spell Master: Why don't you explain why you're dancing in this store?]

[Prisoner: Since there are no guests, we can relax in private.]

[Bartender: Come on, drinks on me!]

[Postman: I'd better stay at the shop and have fun...]

Vermouth looked at the three tickets in the mercenary's hand and said, "I won't go. If I go to the opera with this famous face, I will definitely be recognized. Even disguise is not a guarantee."

"I want to go," the undertaker said. "If I can get close to the actress, I can get firsthand information about those cosmetics."

Gin stared at the undertaker for a while, and didn't see that the undertaker had any other ideas, so he acquiesced.

As for the remaining two spots, since the tickets were obtained by mercenaries, mercenaries must go. Chianti and Collen are not suitable for non-assassination operations, so the most suitable candidate for this kind of intelligence operation is Toru Amuro.

After Gin threw this task to Toru Amuro, he and Vodka left to complete other tasks assigned by the organization. Chianti and Collen also left for rehabilitation training, and then Vermouth also left.

Amuro Toru was being stared at by the mercenaries and the undertaker at this time, and he looked uncomfortable. After all, he now knew that the mercenaries and the undertaker were all members of the Oritis organization.

"Senior?" Amuro Toru looked at the mercenary. "It seems the shareholders behind the Golden Rose Theater are the Melody family. Everyone there can't be..."

The mercenary propped his head up in his hands. "Not entirely, but my old friend told me that something big is definitely going to happen to the troupe soon. It's very likely that the Melody family's potion experiment has entered the next stage."

The undertaker nodded: "So, I have to confirm whether it is really..."

Amuro Toru frowned. "'Eternal Beauty'? It's hard to imagine that the leading actress was one of the test subjects. Last time at the auction, I remember that Mr. Kreborg seemed to be Mrs. Bella's nephew. Why would the Melody family target the family of their partner?"

The undertaker pulled his mask. "As far as I know, the only remaining member of the Kreiberg family is Frederick Kreiberg. I personally buried the Kreiberg family members who died in the fire, so I can't make any mistakes."

Amuro Toru pondered the information he had found. "But this Mary Kreiberg married far away before the fire, and her husband fell from power, so there shouldn't be any problem for her to return to her parents' home."

The mercenary knocked on the table. "It seems someone has been kept in the dark for a long time. Let's go to a store in a few days to find out more about the situation."

A few days later, Toru Amuro was invited to the store the mercenary mentioned.

The exterior decoration of this store looks like a combination of classic and modern beauty, but as a vinyl record store, it is destined to be deserted in such a small alley. After all, young people rarely listen to music with vinyl records nowadays.

However, the sign hanging on this store made Toru Amuro unable to ignore it. The name of the store was "Metropolis", and there was a line of small words below it: "Call Of the Abyss V".

"Metropolis, it seems this is the base of the Oritis Organization members who appeared on the train." Amuro Toru looked at the sign thoughtfully. "But what does 'Call of the Abyss' mean?"

"Because we are used to calling this power the 'abyss'. Whether it is a potion that stimulates human potential or an experiment that changes the human body's structure, the root of everything is the 'abyss'." The mercenary appeared behind Toru Amuro, and the undertaker followed behind with a makeup box.

The mercenary pushed open the door and said, "Let's go and meet my companions."
