Chapter 10 Arms Deal Mission
◎The dark detective said his driving skills were not good◎
At the toll booth on the highway, the sound of car horns and engines filled the air with noise.
Both sides of the road are surrounded by wilderness, forests, and overgrown weeds.
Despite this deafening noise, the nearby forest remained remarkably quiet, undisturbed. As I approached, I found myself standing under a large tree on the far side, facing each other. The air was still, and no one spoke, their eyes seemingly the only means of communication.
Toru Amuro and Conan looked at the woman in front of them and did not respond to her words.
Mu'an Jiaxi couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere anymore and took the lead in breaking the silence. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he planned to slip away.
But before she even took a step, someone grabbed her arm and said, "Ms. Mu'an, don't be so anxious to leave. Why don't you explain?"
She tried to move, but found that the hand holding her arm was extremely strong. Mu An Jiaxi couldn't move at all, and couldn't get rid of it even if she wanted to.
The other person's voice was low and cold, completely lacking his usual gentleness and politeness. Mu An Jiaxi finally had to turn her head, only to meet his sharp eyes, which were fixed on her as if he wanted to see through her.
Mu Anjiaxi pretended to smile foolishly and said, "What's there to explain? I don't have anything to explain."
The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth rose, his eyes darkened slightly, and his voice became a little colder. "Oh, then what are you doing here today, Miss Mu An? Don't tell me you just happened to come here to play."
Mu'an Jiaxi refused to admit anything based on one principle: she was certain he had no evidence. As long as there was no evidence, she wouldn't admit it. Without proof and confirmation, the system would only deduct a dozen points based on his speculations. He still had 80 points left, so he just had to make sure they weren't all deducted.
Mu Anjiaxi thought in self-abandonment.
Mu'an Jiaxi followed his words and made up a lie, "That's not the case. I just bought the car and I'm not very good at driving yet, so I drove out to practice. Then I got tired and wanted to take a break. Sitting in the car was boring, so I got out and walked around. As a result, I wandered here and ran into you guys."
Mu'an Jiaxi asked back: "It's really a coincidence, but why are you here? Are you here to collect folk songs? The scenery here is pretty good, hehe..." She finally laughed awkwardly twice.
Do you believe it? Not to mention Toru Amuro and Conan, even Muan Jiaxi himself thinks that this is really nonsense, but there is no way, he has to make it up. He needs a reason to fool them, whether they believe it or not.
Amuro Toru replied with the same reason, "That's really a coincidence. I'm not a good driver, so I came here to practice. Then I came here to hang out when I was bored."
The words were also very perfunctory, copied word for word.
As soon as they said that, the corners of Muan Jiaxi and Conan's mouths twitched in unison, "......"
Conan also looked at Amuro Toru speechlessly.
Mu'an Jiaxi laughed and said, "Mr. Amuro, you really are joking."
I was complaining in my heart: You are not a good driver. If you are not a good driver, then there is no one in the world who is a good driver. You can drive your car onto the subway and run on it, and you still say you are a bad driver. No one is as Versailles as you.
Mu'an Jiaxi tried to move his hand again, but found that it was still as hard as a rock and he couldn't get free. He could only beg him to let go, "Um, can you please let go of my hand first? It hurts."
Amuro Toru also readily let go, with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm so sorry, I forgot for a moment."
There was a grain of truth in it, but Mu An Jiaxi didn't want to focus on it. She rubbed the red scratch on her arm. She just wanted to leave the scene as soon as possible. This was really embarrassing. She could no longer make up stories, let alone stay.
Mu An Jiaxi then seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately took out his phone to check it, and said in surprise: "Oh, it's already this late, oh my, sorry, Mr. Amuro, I have something to do and have to leave first, see you next time."
After saying that, without waiting for Amuro Toru to react, Muan Jiaxi ran away quickly. If that speed had been used in the physical education exam that year, she would not have failed.
It was as if there was a wolf chasing him from behind. He ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
So it is true that people's potential can be forced out.
The two people standing there didn't want to chase her. After all, if they didn't want her to leave, Mu'an Jiaxi would never be able to escape.
Amuro Toru stared into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent for a long time. After a moment, he glanced at Conan beside him and said, "Let's go."
After getting in the car, Amuro Toru took out his cell phone and called Kazami Yuya, instructing him, "Pay close attention to Muan Jiaxi's movements. You don't need to send anyone to follow her. Just pay attention to her itinerary. As soon as she leaves Mihua Town, report to me. I'll handle the rest myself.
On the other end of the line, Yuya Kazami was driving while answering the phone. He looked serious and said respectfully, "Yes."
"The news about Blackfire being captured today must be kept secret from everyone. Don't let anybody know."
"Yes." After Feng Jianyu hung up the phone, he deleted the call record, put the phone back in his pocket, and had a serious expression on his face.
After deleting the call log, Amuro Toru didn't drive immediately. He just sat there, his fingers rhythmically tapping the steering wheel, completely devoid of his usual gentle demeanor. "Now it's basically confirmed that she provided this information. The next step is to figure out her purpose and determine whether she has another identity in secret."
Conan said: "She is not as simple as she seems. She is very smart. She was able to find my bug so quickly and she also knows Morse code. She is not simple."
At this time, Amuro Toru's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone. He didn't know what was said on the other end. After Amuro Toru hung up the phone, he immediately started the car and said to Conan: "I'll take you home first."
The perceptive Conan immediately noticed something was wrong and asked quickly, "Is this a call from the organization? What happened?"
"It's okay, there are just some small things that I need to check out." Toru Amuro did not reveal the truth.
Conan didn't ask any further questions.
After their car left, a red Subaru 360 drove out from the corner.
A tall man sat in the car. Despite the scorching heat, he wore a turtleneck sweater, had pink hair, and wore black-rimmed glasses. He wore a mysterious smile, squinting his eyes as he stared ahead. His lips moved as he uttered two words: "Interesting."
Then he didn't stay for long and drove away.
The other side at this time
As soon as Mu An Jiaxi parked his car in his own parking space, he received a task score from the system: [Intelligence transmission successful, transaction successfully prevented, task completion 100%.]
[Reward incentives: reward one quest assistant. Each assistant comes from the real world and has a special skill given by the system to help the tasker complete the task.]
Mu'an Jiaxi walked and listened. After hearing the system mention the reward, she suddenly became curious and then communicated with the system with her consciousness, "Is there a time limit for this assister reward?"
The system's mechanical voice rang out in my mind: [Yes, there is only one mission deadline, and I can only help you complete one mission.]
"Then can I choose when he comes? Can I choose when to use this reward?"
【Cannot be selected.】
Although Mu An Jia Xi felt a little regretful, he thought that even if he used it, he could earn more in the future. It wasn't just this one reward. He remembered something and asked the system, "When will he come?"
[We do not have a specific time limit, and the time is arranged by the assistants themselves.]
Mu'an Jiaxi was petrified upon hearing this. How could this be? There was no clear time limit. What if he was late? Then she thought, forget it. He was here to help her. She shouldn't be so picky. He was just here.
Mu An Jia Xi prayed in his heart, asking only for blessings, begging all the helpers, not asking for them to come early, just asking for them to come before the mission, please, please!
Mu An Jiaxi exited the elevator, took out his key, and opened the door. As he entered, the system appeared again, "Amuro Toru's identity concealment level has been deducted by 20 points. There are still 60 points left for Amuro Toru to discover the identity of the tasker."
[Conan deducts 20 points. There are still 60 hidden degrees left for Conan to discover the identity of the tasker.]
[20 points will be deducted for missing Subaru. There are 60 points left for missing Subaru's identity to be revealed.]
Messages popped up one after another, and Mu An Jiaxi's mind was filled with the words "points deducted." She already knew the outcome, so she paused for only a second before closing the door.
The only thing that surprised her was that Subaru Ooshiki was in it. Then she thought, it must have been Conan who said it, so there was an explanation, otherwise why would he be deducted points.
But I never expected that Chongshi Subaru was also there, and he watched the whole show.
port
At 4:00 p.m. at the port, near the river, in an originally empty area, a white Mazda was parked. A man was sitting in the driver's seat, seemingly waiting for someone, sitting in the car very patiently.
About two minutes later, a woman dressed in a particularly charming and beautiful manner came from behind the car, slowly walked towards the white Mazda, opened the door and got in. Then the car started and left.
The vehicle drove out of the port and onto the bridge. The speed was not fast and it did not seem like it was in a hurry.
In the car, a conversation sounded, and first a female voice said: "I have found out some of the things you asked about."
Another male voice responded: "Tell me what you found out."
This person is Toru Amuro. Just now at the highway exit, he received a call from Vermouth. He said that the matter he asked her to investigate had been solved, so Toru Amuro sent Conan home so quickly and went directly to the agreed location.
Vermouth, who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned her elbows on the window, her hands supporting her cheeks as she watched Amuro Toru driving. She did not answer him immediately, but instead changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Why are you checking on her?" Without waiting for his answer, she said, "Forget it, I'm not interested either. Try not to come to me in the future."
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
"Based on your description, there's only one person who fits the description. Her codename is Jim Beam. She's not a member of the organization, but has only been cooperating with them over the years. Gin was the one who contacted her when the organization bought intelligence from her. From what I've heard, she's extremely mysterious, and she keeps herself tightly wrapped up in every transaction. I guess even Gin doesn't know her true identity. The only thing we know for sure is that she's a woman."
"And she disappeared three days ago. She even stood up Gin that day."
Amuro Toru asked in confusion: "If you are not a member of the organization, why do you have a code name?"
"That gentleman gave it to her. He had originally planned to recruit her into the organization after this transaction, but she never showed up. The big boss values her very much and is looking for her everywhere. He even said that no matter what method is used, he will find her for him even if it means digging deep into the ground."
With this information from Vermouth, Toru Amuro had some guesses in his mind whether this mysterious woman codenamed Zhanbian was Mei An Jia Xi, but it was just a guess and there was no substantial evidence.
