Chapter 1097 1106 [Loyal Subordinates]
Gin knew that cats would have the habit of "stepping on milk" when they were in a good mood, but he had just secretly observed for a while and always felt that the cat's behavior towards vodka was somewhat different from stepping on milk.
——It looks more like he is struggling to pull something out.
"..." Could it be that Vodka was covered in dust and was beating it up to catch it? He had just been on the roof for quite some time, and the night wind was strong, so there was indeed a lot of dust on his body.
Gin quickly came to a conclusion.
…
Even if it was Uzo's cat, it was just a cat after all, not a tiger, and it was impossible for it to kill Vodka right under his nose. And with Vodka playing with the cat, Gin's clothes wouldn't be scratched.
He therefore ignored the secret struggle between the man and the cat, and dealt with business first, calling Jiang Xia about Ireland.
After the call, Gin hung up the phone and suddenly remembered that he forgot to mention the cat.
And Uzo didn't even ask - I don't know whether he forgot or just assumed that the cat was free-range.
"I remember you explored it just now." Gin took the cat off Vodka's head and asked.
Vodka wanted to shout "This cat is a spy sent by Uzo!", then watch Gin beat the cat into a cat cake, and then go find the cat's owner to pack it up and send it away... Unfortunately, he didn't dare to lie.
I had no choice but to keep a serious expression and answer honestly: "It has no metal and no source of transmission."
In other words, this cat was really not sent by Uzo for positioning.
Gin hummed.
He didn't think Uzo would be stupid enough to use a cat to carry a transmitter, but he needed to confirm it just to be on the safe side.
…
I don't know when the cat was already on the bus, and the car was going quite fast, so there was no need to stop for it. I could just throw it out when I got to the destination.
Coincidentally, they were in the same space, so Gin simply paused his work and looked carefully at the cat in front of him.
Gin has no interest in pets.
But when he thought that this cat could actually deliver messages accurately and tease Vodka, he couldn't help but think of Uzo.
Although Wuzo is a troublesome colleague, he has a good eye for selecting his subordinates.
——Whether it is the unlucky kid who ran around for Uzo when Miyano Akemi defected, and was folded and stuffed into Uzo's bag to silence him without saying a word; or the fake "Uzo" who was brought back by Uzo and fed interrogation drugs, which caused him to become intermittently mute + terminally ill, and was ruthlessly exploited by Uzo in the remaining life of just over a year, they all have enviable loyalty.
The unfortunate child has been burned to ashes, so let’s not talk about him for now.
In fact, Gin really wanted to see what kind of surprising performance the fake Uzo, who was said to be called "Situ", would bring if he worked for the organization... It's a pity that he was a short-lived man whose body was on the verge of collapse. Moreover, although it was not known how Uzo trained his subordinates, Situ's loyalty at this time was undoubtedly directed solely to Uzo.
If he really coveted the abilities of Wuzo's subordinates and thought that Xitu was a waste of talent by staying with Wuzo, and made him work under him... it would be tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.
…
Thinking of Situ who dared to intercept his gun, he looked at the "Uzo subordinate" on his leg who was staring at Vodka and looked more friendly.
Gin couldn't help but become interested.
A cat that can deliver messages, slash with its hands, accurately recognize people, and even deliberately provoke and anger vodka... If used properly, it might really work wonders in some cases.
Anyway, Wuzo is free-range, so keeping him here for a while won’t cause any trouble.
Gin lowered his eyes and looked at the cat, who was beginning to scratch something with his claws, as if thinking about something.
…
Of course Jiang Xia did not forget about the cat.
It was just that the opportunity was rare - the puppet cat would consume much less murderous energy when walking outside than other vests. Unless Gin suddenly had to go on a business trip and the distance was too far, Jiang Xia could barely accept the amount of murderous energy consumed by letting the cat follow him for a day or two.
He didn't believe that Gin really lived in the car.
——This secretive cadre must have some fixed places to stay. Let the cat follow and explore the location. In the future, whether it is to regularly harvest murderous aura, pick up ghosts at a fixed point, or occupy Gin's safe house for personal use... it will be very convenient.
After Gin hung up the phone, Jiang Xia put the matter behind him and picked up another phone.
Toru Amuro knew Jiang Xia's identity as a "peripheral member of the organization", so he had both of his numbers.
However, perhaps due to the undercover's natural resistance to the organization, when Toru Amuro looked for Jiang Xia, he preferred to use his daily account.
Jiang Xia: “…” This is perfect, the two of them can stagger themselves and won’t bump into each other.
If a collision really happened, we can only put the blame on the "mysterious cadres who have recently been entangled with the famous detective and often make harassing phone calls."
…
Toru Amuro suddenly called, but it was not because of Conan's inquiry.
Just now, after dealing with all that trouble and returning to the apartment, after washing off the pool water and vehicle debris on his body, for some reason, Toru Amuro always felt that someone was talking about him... He suddenly thought of Jiang Xia.
“…”Think about how the high school detective was dragged into Uzo’s hunting ground tonight because of himself.
As a rare person with a conscience, Toru Amuro decisively made a phone call to inquire about the situation - if Uzo was also like Gin before, who liked to use Jiang Xia as cannon fodder for no reason, then this call would be just the right thing to stop Uzo's conspiracy.
…
But fortunately, perhaps Uzo didn't care about a celebrity who could be approached at any time, or perhaps tonight, Uzo's attention was on "Bourbon" and he had no time to persecute others.
Jiang Xia quickly answered the phone smoothly.
Apart from sounding a little sleepy, there was nothing unusual about his voice. He didn't sound like an innocent detective being troubled by Uzo, but more like an ordinary employee who was suddenly disturbed by a work email while sleeping:
"Boss? Do you need someone to cover for you? Send the address and job description to my email, I'll be there soon."
“…”
As Toru Amuro listened to Jiang Xia's forced words, he suddenly felt like an evil capitalist who was exploiting the labor force.
As his conscience ached, he couldn't help but wonder: Did he really look like that scary, stern boss? He thought Jiang Xia would guess that he was there to inquire about his injuries, but he didn't expect that she just thought he had a new job...
As he was thinking about it, the list of top-notch employees that he had sent to Jiang Xia before emerged in his mind. Amuro Toru's eyes drifted away slightly, and he no longer worried about such a trivial matter.
He cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, "No, I don't have a job. I just wanted to ask how your situation is - if it's really not going well, go to the hospital. Don't be afraid to seek medical attention."
