Chapter 2479 2491 [Bourbon's Backstab] Ask for monthly votes ()

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. After thinking about it, Toru Amuro felt that something was wrong, so he handed the work at hand to his colleague and chased in the direction Jiang Xia left.

However, Jiang Xia had disappeared.

Amuro Toru: “…” You’re walking so fast.

Fortunately, this kind of thing was not difficult for the undercover agent who held multiple positions. He easily hacked into the company's system and retrieved the surveillance footage. Then he found that there was a strange "courier" in the place where Jiang Xia was looking just now.

The man looked down at the delivery list and occasionally wrote something on the note in his hand. At first glance, he was just a busy employee, but after looking at him with suspicion, Toru Amuro soon discovered something unusual.

"He didn't bring his employee badge." Amuro Toru touched his chin and thought to himself, "And I've seen the employee list a long time ago, and I know the people who work at this time. This guy is definitely not one of them... But how did Jiang Xia know that there was something wrong with him?"

It is really difficult to explain one's talent for solving cases, and the disguise of this fake employee was not perfect, so Toru Amuro didn't think much about it.

He called up the surveillance footage at the entrance of the express company and fast-forwarded it. Sure enough, he saw the employee and Jiang Xia leaving one after another.

"Why didn't you tell me when you saw someone suspicious..." Amuro Toru showed a look of condemnation on his face, but suddenly, he remembered what he had said to Jiang Xia a few minutes ago, "Don't talk to me when I'm working part-time in the future."

Toru Amuro: "..."

One undercover agent felt a slight pang of conscience. He silently put away his condemning expression and followed the trail all the way.

It didn't take long for Toru Amuro to lock onto a high-end apartment.

However, there were too many residents in the apartment, and there were no clues from the lobby. Just as he was hesitating whether to send a message to Jiang Xia to ask, a familiar child ran in at lightning speed.

Toru Amuro: "!"

I'm so sleepy and someone gave me a pillow. Good, it's you.

…

When intelligence agents were having friendly exchanges with elementary school students.

Upstairs, the criminal was sitting on the sofa, counting money.

"How come it's only over 70,000?" he said dissatisfiedly, "You live in such a high-end building, but you're so poor - or did you deposit all the money into the card? Humph, if I take you as a hostage, maybe your parents are willing to pay enough for the ransom."

The tied-up Ayumi Yoshida huddled in the corner and opened her eyes wide in horror when she heard the words.

The kidnapper stood up and walked towards the elementary school student who had seen too much with a sinister smile: "Unfortunately, kidnapping is too troublesome. It leaves too many traces and the risk is high. I might as well go to the next one to start working. As for you, haha..."

He grasped the baton in his pocket.

Just then, the door of the living room knocked twice.

A polite voice came from the door: "Is anyone there?"

"!" Yoshida Ayumi opened her eyes wide when she heard the familiar voice, feeling scared and excited.

The "courier" looked a little unhappy. He didn't expect someone to come to his door at this time. He cursed in his heart, but could only stop his actions temporarily and wait for the annoying guy outside to leave without getting a response.

"No one here..." The man outside sighed in disappointment and turned the doorknob, "Then I'll come in."

Courier: “……?”

Courier: “???!”

Shouldn't the sentence "Is there no one here?" be followed by "I'll come next time"? What does "I'm coming in then" mean? - There's no one at home, why are you coming in? Are you my colleague?!

However, no matter the person outside is a colleague or just a passerby with a mental problem, we should not take it lightly.

Hesitation means defeat, and the courier didn't care about the naughty child on the ground. He quickly unfolded his baton, rushed to the door with light and fast movements, and raised the baton silently.

Yoshida Ayumi looked at this scene anxiously: Brother Jiang Xia, little...

Bang——!

A huge force kicked the door, and the door crashed into the courier who was in position with an afterimage. With three almost uninterrupted muffled sounds of "dong", "dong", and "dong", the gangster hit the wall like a badminton hit by a racket.

Yoshida Ayumi: “…”…Brother Jiang Xia, please hit me a little more gently, I’m scared.

Fortunately, she was some distance away from the door. After a brief panic, the little witness moved her bound hands and feet, silently moved behind the cabinet, and closed her eyes sensibly.

At the door, the gangster disguised as a courier just came to his senses.

In the chain collision just now, the helmet on his head used to cosplay as a courier was knocked off. Thanks to the protection of the helmet, although his head was dizzy, he still managed to maintain his ability to move.

The courier swung the baton in his hand vigorously and yelled at Jiang Xia: "Don't come over here!"

The next moment, there was empty space in front of him, and the baton in his palm was easily pulled out and held in someone's hand.

"You brought your own." Jiang Xia weighed the heavy stick, took a step forward and stepped on the man.

After pinning down the sinister criminal who was about to launch a sneak attack, Jiang Xia gestured at the baton that belonged to someone else and expressed a little disdain: "It's a bit short. You have to bend down to hit someone on the ground... But never mind, since you chose it, just use it."

He looked at the murderous aura on the courier, and raised the baton with satisfaction as the other party looked at him in horror.

Then my hands were suddenly empty.

…Someone attacked him from behind and wrenched the baton out of his hand.

Jiang Xia: “…”

He turned around silently and saw the unethical boss of the detective agency.

Toru Amuro walked over him and struck the gangster on the side of his neck with his stick, steadily and accurately, knocking him unconscious with a groan.

After that, he skillfully wiped off the fingerprints on the baton, threw it back to the criminal, shook it with the criminal's hand, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "How many times have I told you not to hit people outside - your neighbor's child called the police on the way here, and the police are almost downstairs."

Jiang Xia: "..." How can a heroic act be considered assault? Besides, the police have seen this kind of thing before, and Officer Sato seems to think it is very relaxing...

Amuro Toru glanced at him, as if he had guessed what he was thinking: "There are also reporters."

Jiang Xia: “…” Tsk.

…Anyway, there was an undercover police officer nearby, so it seemed like the guy couldn’t keep knocking.

He had no choice but to throw the ghost out to catch it in boredom.

While the ghosts were busy, Jiang Xia looked around and always felt like something was missing.

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came from the corridor, running towards this side. Jiang Xia looked in the direction of the sound and saw Conan brake suddenly and stopped at the door.

Conan was relieved to see that Jiang Xia was not ambushed. Then he asked another classmate, "Is Ayumi okay?"
