Chapter 2797 2809 [The Ace Killed in Battle]

The news spread everywhere.

Meanwhile, a hotel in Tokyo.

Vodka, who returned to Tokyo safely and changed his residence several times, put down his luggage, turned on his computer, and started searching for keywords with his fingers moving quickly.

——The first thing I looked for was the news on the road from Kanagawa Prefecture to Tokyo.

If things turned out as he expected, and the unlucky guy involved in the car accident was really Shuichi Akai, then he wouldn't have to worry about being tracked by that guy at all.

Originally, Vodka was just searching for traffic accidents.

However, soon, a series of news captured by relevant keywords spread out on his screen.

Vodka quickly browsed through everything and saw more of the truth because he knew a lot of inside information: "..."

"First, rye whiskey exploded, then 'rye whiskey' exploded... It's really that guy's style, releasing a trailer with a lot of cold homophonic humor."

Vodka shuddered. "That guy really won't let Akai Shuichi go. I don't know if the FBI is still alive. Speaking of which, I was lucky this time. Wu Zuo's focus was on Akai Shuichi, and Akai was also on guard against Wu Zuo, and I was just a well-behaved and sensible passerby... Oh, I really hope things will go this smoothly in the future."

"No, wait!" Vodka suddenly realized and changed his prayer, "I really hope that I will never meet that little troublemaker again, and I will never mistakenly enter his stage."

No matter what, meeting Shuichi Akai is not a trivial matter, and what should be reported should be reported.

Vodka opened his mailbox and planned to send an email to Brother Gin. He briefly described the situation tonight and tactfully pointed out his role as a bait in this matter - if he hadn't been hanging Akai Shuichi in front, the cunning FBI wouldn't have fallen into the trap so easily. In short, he has a share of the credit, and he hopes that Brother Gin will remember his merit and let him come back to his side as soon as possible.

…

At the same time.

Another safe house.

With a snap, James stared at the screen and hit the pause button.

This is a video of an interview when a reporter went to the mountaintop villa. When the camera swept across the parking lot, James saw a familiar car - the car left their base in good condition yesterday morning, but when it appeared on the screen again today, it had a crooked nose and a flat tire, and was so tattered that it was unrecognizable.

"The reporter said this was the car that the 'enthusiastic passerby' left behind." James pressed his aching head and tried to reason with the not-so-difficult-to-understand logic. "And the enthusiastic passerby was killed in the car explosion. Could it be that..."

"Xuyi!" he called out in grief.

"What's the matter?" A voice from nowhere answered him.

"?!" James was startled and turned around suddenly, then was startled again - a man pushed the door open, and he actually had the face of Akai Shuichi!

...It's haunted!!

This thought flashed through his mind, but James took a deep breath and suppressed it. The FBI chief rubbed his eyes and looked again, and found that he was not mistaken - this was indeed the "enthusiastic passerby" who crashed in the news, his beloved ace subordinate, Akai Shuichi.

"You, you're still alive." The turn of events was too sudden. James greeted dryly, "It's good to be alive."

Akai Shuichi closed the door and said, "I won't fall for this little trick."

James: “…” But why is your arm bleeding?

...Forget it, compared to being blown to ashes along with the car, this little scratch is really nothing.

James soon stopped caring about this little detail. He ran to find the medical kit and said, "Tell me in detail, what happened when you went out this time?"

…

Rye Whiskey described how he was murdered.

On the other side, Conan finally ended this long journey and returned home.

Elementary school students go to school much later than high school students.

So when his classmates went to school, Conan was still wandering around the house.

After walking around for a while, we arrived at Dr. Agasa's house.

"Conan?" Dr. Agasa greeted his neighbor when he saw him. "I heard that you guys have encountered another murder case. Have you found the passerby who was killed?"

Conan shook his head. At least before they left, Akai Shuichi was still missing. According to Conan's understanding of the organization's strength, this person probably escaped in some way.

"I hope the police can find him." Conan sighed and looked around, "Where's Haibara?"

Dr. Agasa pointed to the basement and said, "Ai is writing a thesis and seems to have encountered difficulties. She is worried. I suggest you wait a while before going in." You might be scolded if you go in now.

Conan really wanted to kick the door open immediately, but thinking that he had something to ask for, he had to be patient and wandered around Dr. Agasa's house anxiously, waiting for Haibara Ai to finish her work.

After a long while, finally, footsteps were heard on the stairs leading to the basement. A mini scientist came up yawning and holding an empty coffee cup.

"Haibara!" Conan rushed over as if he had seen a relative.

Haibara Ai was startled and looked at him warily while holding the cup: "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it." Although she always felt that this guy was up to no good.

Conan hesitated for words, but finally decided to get straight to the point: "'Rye Whiskey' - who does this code name refer to?"

Huiyuan Ai's pupils suddenly shrank, and after several seconds, she took a deep breath and said, "I don't know him. The matter of that organization has nothing to do with me anymore."

As she said this, she walked around Conan and went upstairs.

When she entered the kitchen, Dr. Agasa sighed, came closer and whispered to Conan: "Sure enough, she is angry. Come to think of it, did you meet the code name member of that organization again when you went out this time?"

Conan nodded: "I wasn't sure before, I thought the appearance of the bottle of whiskey might just be a coincidence - but now, judging from Huibara's reaction, the bottle of 'rye whiskey' might really exist."

Dr. Agasa sighed: "I don't know when we can bring them to justice and find the antidote to turn you back into an adult."

…

When two people huddled together and whispered.

In the kitchen, Huihara Ai boiled some water. She paced back and forth beside the kettle, took out her cell phone, and opened Jiang Xia's email.

——At first, she didn't know who "Rye Whiskey" was, but later, with Shuichi Akai's defection, a lot of information was no longer kept secret. When she heard Conan say that just now, she immediately knew that Conan probably met Shuichi Akai.

If I remember correctly, Conan was with Jiang Xia and the others last night. Then Jiang Xia was also...
