Chapter 1261 1269 [Don’t let Wuzo see]
Gin was carefully observing the flow of people. Hearing Vodka's loud voice, he snorted coldly: "Stop talking in such a nouveau riche tone."
"..." Vodka shut up silently: he wanted to flatter someone, but he ended up flattering the horse's hoof - he actually wanted to use the value of Qiancheng Piaodan to subtly express that this task was actually very important, and this task was assigned to his eldest brother by the boss, so it indirectly reflected that the boss still valued his eldest brother very much.
...It's a pity that it might be too euphemistic, and Gin is too lazy to analyze it seriously.
As he thought about it, Vodka couldn't help but sigh:
Brother Gin was in a bad mood, and the first to suffer were the assistants like them... Damn Uzo, if it weren't for him scheming against Brother Gin, causing Brother Gin to almost accidentally kill Suzuki Sonoko when he was sniping Shirley, Brother Gin might not have been ordered by the boss to take a leave to recuperate.
Vodka: “…” If he didn’t take a vacation, the eldest brother’s mentality would be as peaceful as before, and he wouldn’t have to be so cautious... Although Anonymous was actually responsible for Gin’s vacation, but if you calculate the time and look at it from the source, no matter how you think about it, it was Uzo’s fault!
…
Next to him, although Gin was dissatisfied with Vodka's shocked tone, after hearing these words, he couldn't help but become interested in this mission.
Senjō Hyōtan is the horse seal used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during his lifetime - a horse seal is something used to mark the position of generals during a large military battle.
Most people would use a flag as a "horse seal", but some people were special, such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi who used a "Senjenari Piaotan" as a horse seal.
There are many different opinions about the origin of the Senjōhyōtan. One of the theories is that Oda Nobunaga, in gratitude for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's outstanding performance in battle, gave him a golden gourd inserted upside down on a spear and allowed him to use it as a horse seal.
After that, every time Toyotomi Hideyoshi achieved military success, he would add a golden gourd to the top until a total of one thousand gourds were collected.
Gin: "..." Although the saying "a thousand golden gourds are inserted on a thousand gourd baskets" is probably a fabrication or exaggeration of later generations, after all, such a weight of gold is too heavy for both horses and people. But even if it is just a gourd with a layer of gold foil, or even gold-plated, with the bonus of that historical background, it can be regarded as a priceless treasure.
Thinking of this, Gin looked at the eyes of the crowd outside and couldn't help but become more serious.
If we can really find those guys, and then follow the clues to get the Qiancheng gourd...
As he was thinking, his eyes swept across a place and suddenly stopped.
——At the opposite intersection, a male high school student who looked sunny and cheerful was standing there, staring straight at their car.
In the blink of an eye, the red light turned green, and Jiang Xia mixed in with the crowd crossing the road and walked straight towards this side.
Gin: “…” Why do I keep meeting this guy everywhere?
His hand silently applied the handbrake and his foot fell on the accelerator: if Wu Zo suggested "want to get in the car" or "it's too boring, why don't we go for a walk together?", he would immediately tell him that he had something important to do and then leave to prevent Wu Zo from making trouble.
——I am very busy today. I have to look for Qian Chengpiaotan, deal with those people who know the truth, and search for the missing members of the organization. I don’t have time to watch Wu Zo’s death dramas, let alone participate in them.
At this moment, Vodka, who was busy typing on the keyboard next to him, seemed to have a premonition.
He turned his head and looked around in confusion, and after a moment, he also noticed something.
Vodka fixed his eyes in the direction of Jiang Xia, and his fingers that were typing on the keyboard suddenly became stiff: "Brother, why is Wuzo walking this way? Let's go to another place!"
"..." Gin heard the panic hidden in his calmness and his forehead twitched slightly. He suddenly felt that his plan to leave was subtly similar to Vodka's behavior.
After a moment's silence, Gin took back his hands and feet that were on the handbrake and accelerator.
He snorted coldly, lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and watched Jiang Xia approach with a calm expression.
…
On the other side, Jiang Xia didn’t have such thoughts - now he just wanted to stay in the gymnasium where his classmates and Kudo-face gathered.
But it's rare that Gin comes to my door on his own initiative, and the two sides are close to each other. I would feel like I'm losing out if I don't come and take advantage of him.
Thinking of this, he walked to the car and knocked on the window politely.
After a while, the car window slowly lowered a crack.
Jiang Xia greeted him in a friendly manner: "Why did you suddenly change your car? I almost didn't recognize it - maybe something happened on the road and the Porsche was damaged."
"...My car is fine." Gin said calmly: this level of provocation was not enough to arouse his anger.
But when Uzo showed up, Gin suddenly remembered something: "Were you spying on me just now?"
Jiang Xia thought of Conan who was distracted just now, and vaguely understood. He replied naturally: "No. I just happened to see you nearby, and I saw that you had nothing to do, so I came over to keep in touch - are you waiting here for me?"
On the co-pilot seat, Vodka took a deep breath bravely: Keep in touch? Maybe he saw that the atmosphere here was peaceful and wanted to come here to find something to do.
…
Although Jiang Xia denied that he was spying just now, his words "I see you're fine" implicitly implied that he had indeed been observing for a while.
Gin: “…” It seems that the peeper is most likely Uzo.
No wonder I couldn't find the source of the sight. With this density of people, it wouldn't be too difficult for Wu Zuo to hide. And before and after Wu Zuo appeared, the feeling of being watched did disappear.
Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xia spoke again: "You came to Osaka this time, you shouldn't just come to support me, you must have other tasks - my teammates' tasks are my tasks, let me take a look, I can help you share the worries."
Gin came back to his senses, exhaled a puff of smoke, and refused coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
...Just kidding. If those people were all dead, where would they find clues about Qian Chengpiaodan?
Jiang Xia looked a little disappointed. After thinking for a moment, he leaned over slightly and looked through the car window at Vodka and his computer.
"!" Vodka instinctively raised his hand and snapped the notebook shut.
After a moment, he regretted this instinct a little bit - if Wu Zo wanted to see it, just let him see it. But now, as soon as the computer was closed, Wu Zo's attention was no longer shared by the notebook, and it all fell on him.
Vodka kept a straight face, trying hard to maintain his dignity as a code-name cadre.
Gin was quite satisfied with Vodka's move. He turned to Jiang Xia and said, "Don't think about it. Just do your own thing."
"..." Jiang Xia glanced at Vodka and then looked away.
At this moment, a burst of sirens suddenly came from far away on the nearby streets.
Vehicles made way for the vehicle to avoid the collision, and police cars whizzed past and drove towards the stadium.
