Chapter 2: First Mission (Revised)
◎These days, providing intelligence still depends on acting skills◎
No matter how much Mu'an Jiaxi shouted and resisted in his heart, he could not stop the two people from getting closer.
Mu'an Jiaxi smiled bitterly in his heart. Looking at the two people, he felt like they were here to seek revenge, with unfriendly faces. Mu'an Jiaxi involuntarily took a step back and had the idea of retreating.
Before she could move, the flame was extinguished.
"Hello, do you remember us meeting just now? Is your injury okay?" A deep voice sounded in my ears, the tone was gentle and polite.
Following his words, Mu'an Jiaxi's heart tightened, but he quickly raised his head and met his gaze. "I remember, it was the driver just now. It's really thanks to your help that I'm fine. They're just minor injuries, nothing serious."
At this moment, a tender child's voice came from below, with a sweet child's tone, asking: "Big sister, what is your name?"
Following the sound, Muan Jiaxi looked down and saw Conan, his head tilted upwards, a smile on his face. He looked like a sensible, polite, and cute child, simply wanting to know her name. But knowing his identity, Muan Jiaxi felt her scalp tingle and goose bumps spread all over her body. She was so used to hearing Conan's normal tone that she couldn't stand this.
So cute!
Mu'an Jiaxi really wanted to ask if she could speak more normally, as she felt a bit overwhelmed. Mu'an Jiaxi forced a smile and replied, "My name is Mu'an Jiaxi."
"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective. What does your sister do for a living?"
Mu An Jiaxi suppressed the goose bumps all over his body and answered patiently: "I am currently unemployed and have no job."
The memories Mu An Jiaxi received from the original owner revealed her to be unemployed, with no proper job, and a somewhat complex and unique identity. Since childhood, the original owner had possessed an ability that allowed her to discover every detail about a person through their name, even revealing their recent activities.
This ability is commonly known as the golden finger. After the original owner discovered this ability, he used it to sell information. No matter if it was black or white, as long as they could afford it, they would be customers.
In the past few years, she had only cooperated with some big men in the government, and they were all small businesses. However, in recent years, as her business grew, she gained some fame and could not resist the generous donations from some people. Gradually, she became involved with the Black Organization and even started a long-term cooperation. Until now, the two parties have been in secret contact.
This time, she was kidnapped because the other party contacted the original owner and asked her to find out the undercover in the organization. The time was agreed to be this afternoon at the old place for handing over the money and the goods. However, before she reached the subway station, she encountered an accident and the transaction was not completed.
Thinking of this, Mu'an Jiaxi was stunned for a moment, recalling the abnormality of Amuro Toru and Conan just now, and the familiar note-like object in his hand, she seemed to have it too.
Mu An Jiaxi suddenly realized that the note belonged to her. The original owner had written the name of the undercover agent's liquor on it. She must have dropped it when she hurriedly got out of the car, and then Amuro Toru picked it up and read the contents, which led to the following scene.
This explains why she was deducted ten points; it was all her own carelessness. A slip of paper with the names of alcoholic beverages written on it would make anyone connected to the Black Organization suspicious, especially Toru Amuro and Conan, who were already suspicious. Even the slightest connection to the Black Organization would make them take notice.
Mu An Jiaxi could only say that he was unlucky.
But on the bright side, once she figured out the source, things would be easier for her. It was just the name of a wine, so it could be a coincidence. The most important thing now was intelligence, and how to get it out there was paramount.
Conan looked at the woman in front of him who was in a daze, frowned, looked up calmly and exchanged a glance with Amuro Toru, interrupting her thoughts. "Unemployed, then your sister doesn't need to earn money to eat?"
Mu'an Jiaxi came back to his senses when he heard the voice and said proudly, "Benefiting my parents."
After hearing this, Conan was completely speechless, and just looked at Mu'an Jiaxi with dead fish eyes.
When Toru Amuro heard her words, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and said, "I haven't introduced myself to you yet, right? Now let me introduce myself formally. Hello, my name is Toru Amuro, and I'm a private detective."
Mu'an Jiaxi also nodded politely at him, "Hello."
Then he raised his hand and handed over a note, "Is this yours? I just picked it up by the car door. I think it must have been dropped by you." His tone seemed to be asking but was actually a test.
It's come to this, whether you admit it or not doesn't matter. Mu An Jiaxi pretended to be puzzled and took the note, opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was densely packed with wine names.
Mu Anjiaxi couldn't help but want to complain about the original owner. Why did he use such a small piece of paper? He wouldn't even notice if he dropped it. Fortunately, there was no other information on it except the name of the wine, otherwise the vest would definitely fall off.
It's so embarrassing to be exposed on the first day.
Mu'an Jiaxi pretended to be surprised and touched his pocket. "Hey, when did this fall? Thank you so much. Otherwise, if I go to the supermarket to buy wine without this note, I won't know what to buy. I will have to go home and make a copy. Thank you so much."
Amuro Toru heard it and asked calmly, "Buy some wine."
Conan, who was standing by, also frowned after hearing what Mu'an Jiaxi said, and kept staring at her with a suspicious look, obviously not trusting her words, but he didn't say anything.
Mu'an Jiaxi explained, "Yeah, a few days ago, I went to a bar with a friend and saw the bartender mixing drinks. I thought it was interesting and wanted to try it myself, so I looked up the information online and wrote down the name of the drink. So, this afternoon, I wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some wine, but who knew I would run into this? It's really unlucky."
Mu An Jia Xi did not lie. The original owner did go to a bar a few days ago, but the cocktail-making excuse was purely made up by Mu An Jia Xi. This was the most appropriate excuse. Otherwise, what other more credible excuse could he find?
Regarding what Muan Jiaxi said, Amuro Toru and Conan remained skeptical and did not fully believe it. Amuro Toru smiled and said, "You're welcome. Since it's yours, keep it well. Don't lose such a small note again."
Mu'an Jiaxi took out the bank card from his pocket and stuffed the note into the card holder.
At this time, a police officer quickly ran past the three people and came to Officer Megure. He said something anxiously, and then the police officer ran back quickly.
When passing by them, Amuro Toru stepped forward and stopped him, asking, "What happened?"
As soon as Mu'an Jiaxi saw him, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Isn't this Takagi? He looks exactly like the one in the cartoon, so cute and adorable.
When Takagi saw that it was Amuro Toru who stopped him, he did not hide it and said, "It's just that we can't find any trace of the remaining two robbers."
"Did you find the information of the robber who was caught?"
"I found out. His name is Yamamoto Hiroshi and he's an accountant for a company."
At this time, Conan interrupted: "Did Yamamoto Hiroshi reveal their hiding place?"
Gao Mu shook his head: "No, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to leave." After that, he ran away in a hurry.
As Takagi left, Toru Amuro and Conan fell into deep thought for a while.
Looking at the two people who were thinking with their heads down, Muan Jiaxi breathed a sigh of relief. Their eyes finally shifted away from her. Suddenly, the two people thought of something and turned to run towards Inspector Megure. It was unclear what they said, but one of the officers quickly ran away.
Seeing this, Mu'an Jiaxi followed and listened.
Not long after, the officer came running back, holding a long roll of paper in his hand. He and another officer held it in the air, spread out. Toru Amuro took the pen from the other officer and drew as he spoke, "The area around the gold shop is a bustling and prosperous area in the city center. And I have another question. Speaking of robbing gold, if they were short on cash, there's a bank across the street. Why didn't they rob the gold instead of the bank? This suggests their sole goal is gold. My guess is that there must be someone behind this, trading with them, and that person is the mastermind or collaborator behind all this."
"They were carrying such a large bag of gold, which was not only heavy but also extremely conspicuous. The other two escaped without any means of transportation, which means their final destination wasn't far away. Looking around for a place suitable for trading with few people, the only one is an underground parking garage. And the closest underground parking garages are only three: Huale Supermarket, the subway station, and the Rice Flower Restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure quickly sent people to several locations to investigate.
When Mu'an Jiaxi heard his brilliant inference, he couldn't help but admire it. It was amazing, he got straight to the truth. But the last three choices were worthy of being the classic law of famous detectives, the three-choice law that can never be escaped.
However, time is running out. If they check one by one like this, she is afraid that by the time they find out, the transaction will have been completed and her mission will have failed. She will have to give them a reminder and lead them directly to the subway station.
Seeing this, Mu An Jia Xi took the opportunity to interject, "Speaking of this subway station, it occurred to me that when I passed by there at noon, I seemed to see two very unusual people there, dressed in strange clothes."
As soon as the words fell, several people turned their heads in unison and looked at Mu'an Jiaxi.
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure pressed on, "Who is he? What kind of person is he? Can you describe him in detail?"
Mu'an Jiaxi feigned contemplation as he recalled, "Well, those two guys were particularly odd. One had long silver hair and gave off an air of someone who wasn't to be trifled with. The other had a stocky build. Both were dressed in black, with blank expressions on their faces. They looked like gangsters who weren't easy to mess with. They also walked incredibly fast, as if they were in a hurry. I just glanced at them and hurried away."
When Mu'an Jiaxi mentioned long silver hair, Conan's eyes widened instantly. He stared at Mu'an Jiaxi with a serious expression, afraid of missing a word. The look in his eyes first showed disbelief, then shock, and finally surprise.
Even Toru Amuro, who was standing next to her, glanced at Jiaxi Muan with a serious expression, carefully observing the expression on her face, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
As soon as Muan Jiaxi finished speaking, Conan couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Did you see where they went?"
The police officers present were not surprised by Conan's behavior, they were even used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Seeing Conan lose his temper and lose his composure with just one sentence, Muan Jiaxi continued to reveal: "When I left, I saw that the direction they were going seemed to be an underground parking garage."
When Officer Megure heard this, he immediately sent someone to check the underground parking garage at Beika subway station, and then he hurriedly followed. Conan took the opportunity to secretly board the police car.
The police cars at the scene gradually moved away with the sound of sirens, and the ambulance also drove away early. In an instant, the only people left at the scene were Muan Jiaxi, Amuro Toru, and the private car that the robber had forced to take over.
After watching the police car leave, Muan Jiaxi noticed that the scene was unusually quiet. He glanced back and found that Amuro Toru had not left yet.
Mu'an Jiaxi rubbed her fingers subconsciously. Although he was her idol, she was not yet familiar with him. Besides, her current identity was quite embarrassing.
Mu'an Jiaxi stood there in a daze for a long time. Neither of them spoke, and an awkward atmosphere permeated the air. Finally, Mu'an Jiaxi couldn't help it and coughed twice before turning around. "Well, everyone has left, so there shouldn't be anything else. I'll be leaving first. Bye."
Because she also had to rush to the scene to determine whether the mission was successful or not, so she couldn't delay and had to go quickly, otherwise she would miss the excitement.
After saying this, Mu'an Jiaxi was about to leave. At this time, Amuro Tou said, "Miss Mu'an, please wait a moment. I have a question that I want you to help me with."
Mu Anjiaxi had to put down the foot he had just raised, "You say."
"In her conversation just now, I remember Miss Mu'an saying she only took a quick glance. I'm curious why that glance was so detailed, revealing not only her appearance but also her final destination."
Although Mu An Jiaxi appeared calm on the surface, she was actually quite nervous inside. Facing a strong opponent, she feigned composure and continued to lie, "Because their unique style attracted me, I couldn't help but take a glance at them, so I could see where they went."
