Chapter 2241 2253 [Commissioned]

Vodka summarized the patterns of Xitu's appearance in the past and tried to guess what Uzo would do this time. Soon he found out...

There doesn't seem to be any pattern.

"Who would have thought that the 'Uzo' who was so sinister and cunning in front of others and always looked like he was going to hold a funeral for others was actually just a tool that could be moved around wherever was convenient in front of the real Uzo."

He sighed and muttered to himself: "From what I remember, that guy Wuzo even asked Wuzo to run errands to buy alcohol for him, and more than once. Although he appeared in a public place this time, maybe he didn't have a specific target, but was just too lazy to solve the case himself?"

"That would be great if that's the case, but we have to be on guard against him having other intentions. But fortunately, no matter what he wants to do, I'm so far away from him, so he can't trick me."

Vodka estimated the physical distance between the two sides and felt relieved. He secretly noted this point and decided to wait and see.

…

The other side.

Shuichi Akai found the toolbox and worked in front of the mirror for a while. Then he looked at the ordinary, just slightly tall passerby in the mirror and fell into deep thought.

In order to replace Okiya Subaru, he specially found Kudo Yukiko and learned some half-baked disguise techniques so that he could disguise himself as Okiya Subaru.

Now, with the failure of the original Subaru Okiya's escape, the replacement plan has temporarily failed, but the craftsmanship has been preserved.

"I can't disguise myself as a specific person yet, but it's enough for disguise."

The only thing that is worrying is that, in order to deliberately stagger his original appearance, his fabricated appearance is a little strange, and his facial features are not coordinated enough... But it's not a big problem, after all, it's not so ugly that people don't want to look directly at it.

Akai Shuichi nodded secretly. He walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, flipped through it, and found the half-finished fake certificate sandwiched inside.

Afterwards, Shuichi Akai took a picture of himself against the wall, unfolded the fake certificate and put it into a special printer, and then controlled it with the computer next to it.

Soon, with a burst of printing sounds, a finished fake certificate came out.

Shuichi Akai picked it up, and it showed the pseudonym he was going to use next - Midoriya Jiro.

There is some connection with his name, but if you didn't know it in advance, it would be hard to imagine that this is him.

"I wonder if Jiang Xia will have any associations with this name."

Shuichi Akai picked up a tool beside him and polished the ID card until it was slightly worn, while thinking: "If he finds out and asks me for help, such as wanting to stay away from that organization, then I can help him apply for the witness protection program and help him escape to the United States..."

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled the escape plan he had made for Okiya Subaru, as well as the various situations that occurred during its implementation. He paused and fell silent for a short time.

…

the next day.

Conan's cold unfortunately worsened due to falling into the river, staying up late, etc., and he lay at home waiting to recover.

This made Jiang Xia, who originally wanted to take him out shopping, sigh and had to leave alone.

Jiang Xia’s cold hasn’t fully recovered yet, but his voice has recovered after the effect of yesterday’s spicy curry.

Wearing a mask, he walked along the street for a while, but encountered nothing. Jiang Xia sighed in boredom and had to go to the Amuro Detective Agency, which he hadn't been to for two days, to see if there were any new commissions there.

Just after flipping through the entrustment book which was sorted according to priority, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at the door.

Then a strange man exuding the unique murderous aura of Akai Shuichi walked in.

Jiang Xia: “…”

Um?

He looked at that ordinary face, then at the colorless and transparent murderous aura on that person. After two seconds, he was finally sure - it should be Akai Shuichi who came.

His face was also covered with an indescribable disguise.

...Compared with Vermouth, the disguise technique of the person in front of him is really a bit eye-catching.

Jiang Xia rubbed his eyes silently, then stood up as usual: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

At the same time, he looked around and found with regret that Toru Amuro was not there.

...As a boss, how can you skip work every day? It's really unprofessional.

He condemned the boss in his heart and mourned the murderous opportunity he had missed. At the same time, he had to stand up and pour a cup of tea for the guest.

Although I missed the large amount of coffee-flavored murder that might have arrived, there was one thing that made me feel comforted.

Jiang Xia put down the steaming cup of tea and looked at Akai Shuichi again.

The murderous aura that smelled of gin that this FBI usually had on him was gone, replaced by a murderous aura that could be dyed into various flavors.

Jiang Xia: “…” According to the principle that the murderous aura of Shuichi Akai will change to the person he targets, it seems that after Judy’s hard work, Shuichi Akai’s attention is finally more focused on “Uzo” rather than Gin.

...It should have been done a long time ago!

Jiang Xia sat down opposite Akai Shuichi, took a sip of tea, and then commanded the ghosts to pounce on them and grab as much as they could.

Shuichi Akai did not keep the secret and quickly told what happened to him like a serious client.

"I have a friend," said Shuichi Akai, "who met an old man named 'Shitara Shigekichi' on the bus last night."

Jiang Xia nodded. Last night, Akai Shuichi met an old man named Shitara Shigekichi on the bus: "And then?" Is this the reason why you stood up Usa last night?

Shuichi Akai took out a disk with "Top Secret" written on it from his pocket and said, "Mr. Shitara said he wanted to commission you, but when he came here, the detective agency happened to be closed, so he had to go back.

"On the bus on the way back, he happened to sit next to my friend. During the conversation, he learned that my friend had once asked you for a commission - perhaps because of this, he quietly put this disk into my friend's pocket while traveling together. Unfortunately, my friend didn't find it until today."

Jiang Xia automatically replaced all the "my friends" in his ears with "I". He took the disk from Akai Shuichi and considered the wording:

"Mr. Shitara wants you to... uh, ask your friend to pass this to me? What about your friend? Why doesn't Mr. Shitara come here himself?"

As an undercover agent who had used a fake identity to get into the organization, Shuichi Akai was of course very good at making up lies: "Today is a weekday, my friend has to go to work, and he is rather timid, so he asked me to come here. As for Mr. Shitara..."

Akai Shuichi moved his stiff face and turned it serious: "This is exactly why I came to see you. As soon as he got off the bus yesterday, my friend saw a man dressed strangely chasing him into the alley. At that time, Mr. Shitara looked panicked and seemed very scared of him."
