Chapter 1269 1277 [Gin: There will definitely be good news]
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko: "..." They have been to the police station many times. Although they mainly go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, they think the police station in Osaka is no different. There is really no need to visit...
Conan was leaning on the railing, looking at the police building, with a silent longing in his eyes.
Jiang Xia's attention was also briefly attracted by the building.
Compared to Conan, his hands-on ability is obviously stronger at certain times.
Jiang Xia's thoughts moved slightly, and soon, a dark cloud-walking snow cat took shape nearby.
The eating cat possessed the puppet.
The black cat with white claws shook its fur and adjusted to the feeling of having a physical body again. Then it walked quickly towards the building opposite with a fairly elegant pace.
I heard that a lot of murders happened in Osaka a few days ago for some reason. Maybe after the relevant personnel were taken to the police station, some murderous spirits and shikigami would be dropped: in a relatively closed building, the wind is not strong, they should not float too far, and maybe some can be found in the corners.
Jiang Xia watched the eating cat go away, and touched the ghost in his arms expectantly.
But soon, he glanced at the people coming and going downstairs, and suddenly remembered something, a little confused:
Isn't Gin also looking for Sennari Hyotan?
So now, he and Vodka should be nearby, but why didn't he see any high-end murderous aura downstairs?
——Yesterday, when Jiang Xia went to share a task with two colleagues, Vodka closed his laptop very quickly and Jiang Xia was unable to see his screen.
But in fact, before Jiang Xia himself looked down, the ghost had already sat on the brim of Vodka's hat.
Jiang Xia: "..." Speaking of which, if we put the blame of "leaking the mission details to Uzo" on Vodka, I wonder if it can arouse some murderous intent that tastes like ice cream...
…
Another attraction dozens of kilometers away.
Vodka suddenly turned around and sneezed, and a chill ran down his back.
He looked up in confusion, looked at the clear sky, felt the warm temperature, and then felt that it was not a weather problem.
So after a moment, Vodka's eyes darkened: Although there was no evidence, it must be that little bastard Uzo who was talking about him - maybe he was still holding a grudge against him for not showing him the intelligence yesterday.
Thinking of this, Vodka couldn't help but move towards Brother Gin and looked around vigilantly - if there was any suddenly crazy killer nearby, the big brother would definitely be able to kill him before he successfully attacked.
…
Next to him, Gin didn't pay any attention to Vodka's sneaky little actions.
He was still thinking about the Osaka member who suddenly disappeared and Chishinari Hyotan.
The clue found so far is that the treasure hunting forum account of the missing organization members was impersonated by a guy who didn't know whether to live or die.
The impostor seemed to have clues about "Qian Cheng Piao Tan". He formed a real-life tour group and took the other four people to drown in the vast city.
Gin and Vodka are wandering around various attractions in Osaka, trying to find them.
After all, he was in Osaka, not Tokyo. Without wanting to reveal his identity and whereabouts, Gin could not mobilize too many people.
So he only arranged some staff at the scenic spots related to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. And in Osaka Castle, where people were most likely to be spotted, he arranged six people, divided into two groups, to take turns. As soon as they saw the tour group appear, they would notify him immediately. Then he would rush to deal with it.
Gin checked his watch.
At this time, half an hour had passed since the last shift change.
The results of the surveillance by the previous team had already been sent over when the shift changed: no results were found.
Thinking of this result, Gin frowned in dissatisfaction, worried that things would go wrong.
But I calmed down and thought: the task was assigned less than a day ago. And keeping an eye on a five-person tour group is such a simple task, anyone with eyes can do it. How could it go wrong?
Compared to Osaka Castle, which has limited exits, other attractions are more troublesome. You can't do simple things yourself and leave the technical tasks to those useless people.
Gin thought about it, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and felt a little relieved: "..." Just be patient and wait.
I hope the three guys who are on shift can bring good news as soon as possible.
…
Different from the serious working atmosphere in the car.
On the other hand, several high school students were having a relaxing and happy time.
Seeing that Toyama Kazuha was feeling a little down, Mao Lilan hurried to cheer her up: "The Osaka Castle you actually see is much more beautiful than what you see in photos or on TV - you really have to come here in person to appreciate its beauty."
"That's right! How can just coming here once be enough?" Toyama Kazuha instantly regained his spirits. "Osaka Castle looks brand new after the reconstruction. It has remained almost unchanged from sixty years ago to now. You can't see this kind of historical vicissitudes just by looking at photos!"
Suddenly, a cold snort came from the side:
"It was rebuilt seventy years ago. Little girl, when you introduce Osaka to outsiders, shouldn't you do more research beforehand?"
"……Um?"
Several high school students were startled and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that a bald middle-aged man had appeared next to them.
The bald uncle sternly corrected him, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle in 1599, and later Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt it in 1629. The Osaka people who rebuilt the castle 70 years ago are already the third generation."
Hattori Heiji looked at him in surprise: "Uncle, you know a lot."
Although he knew the general history of Osaka Castle, he didn't remember the specific years like this. And judging from the accent, the person on the other side was not from Osaka.
"Humph, of course." The bald uncle raised his head proudly, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the historical figure I admire most."
Jiang Xia glanced at the badge on his chest.
Hattori Heiji also noticed it. He took a closer look and said in a very rude voice: "A fan of Toyotomi Hideyoshi? But why do you wear the family emblem of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the 'three-leaf sunflower'?"
"This is……!"
He was about to explain when another person suddenly came up from behind.
It was a slightly younger man. The young man laughed and said to the bald uncle: "Brother Ieyasu, what are you doing here? The lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
The bald uncle was startled and turned around: "Oh, brother Mitsuhide. I met a few tourists and was telling them the history of the castle tower."
Several high school students nearby were stunned: ...Brother Ieyasu? Brother Mitsuhide?
If it were just a name, it might be a coincidence.
But with the word "Lord", the two people are referring to someone very clearly - the bald uncle in front of them is actually called "Tokugawa Ieyasu", and the young man who called him is "Akechi Mitsuhide". And the "Lord" who is said to be waiting for them should be "Oda Nobunaga".
These are all historical figures from the same period as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
