Chapter 1399 1407 [Organizing a black-clad patrol] Asking for a monthly ticket (〃〃)
Jiang Xia looked at the familiar hospital on the screen and turned off the TV: Actually, there's nothing wrong with an interview. At most, I'll have to spend some effort to make up a lie... But I haven't picked up the last bit of murderous intent yet, so I'm not in the mood to promote the detective agency. I'll talk about it next time.
At this moment, there were sudden knocks on the door.
The people who came turned out to be Kosaka Natsumi and her butler.
Kosaka Natsumi looked at Jiang Xia's arm wrapped in gauze, her eyes full of apology: "You were obviously visiting my home, but you got involved in something like this."
Jiang Xia was startled, and slowly remembered the "Egg of Memories": "Oh, that 'Egg of Memories'..."... He had originally thought of taking it back with the reason that "the treasures lost by the dynasty should be left with the lost princess of the dynasty", which was in line with Gin's literary and artistic thinking. However, when he was about to leave, he forgot about it because of the sudden shot from the man in black.
Jiang Xia: "..." Hmm? Speaking of this, Gin seems to have taken on many fund-raising tasks. Could this hard-working guy be doing this on purpose?
He touched his chin suspiciously and put the blame on Gin in dissatisfaction.
Beside the bed, Kosaka Natsumi shook her head gently. She didn't seem to regret it at all. She just shook her phone and said, "It's okay. It's lost. I have recorded those precious images. Although the 'Egg of Memory' is lost, I still have the castle left by my grandfather and the remains of my great-grandmother. These are all precious memories."
The butler also nodded, looking in a good mood. "There were many people present at the time. To be honest, I was worried that the news that the young lady had this treasure would spread and attract other villains to covet it. I was thinking about how to strengthen security... But now it seems that I don't have to worry about it anymore - now only the castle is left, and they can't take the entire castle away quietly."
He turned to Kosaka Natsumi and said what he had always wanted to say: "Let's pick a good day later and move the old lady's body to the ancestral grave."
Kosaka Natsumi said "Hmm!" and looked quite happy. Her great-grandfather and great-grandmother had wanted to be buried together before, but they failed for various reasons. Now, a hundred years later, this regret can finally be solved.
Jiang Xia looked at the two satisfied people: "..." They are really two good people.
…
After visiting the wounded, the two left quickly - although the fire in the castle was stopped halfway, the first floor near the hall was still damaged and needed repairs. In addition, Kosaka Natsumi also wanted to clean and reinforce the underground passage and go in often in the future. They were actually quite busy today.
After the old man and the young boy left, Jiang Xia slipped out of the ward alone before the doctor's rounds and walked around the hospital expectantly.
However, maybe because Conan and the others were busy taking notes, they were not here. Jiang Xia looked around upstairs and downstairs, and even went to the door of the inpatient area next door, but still didn't find anything interesting.
Jiang Xia: "..." This is so boring. I shouldn't have pretended to be asleep and stayed in the hospital yesterday.
…
Soon, he completed the discharge procedures, sent a message to several classmates who were still in the police station to report his safety, and then left the hospital.
Jiang Xia first went to Dr. Agasa's house, took out the cats that he had accumulated over the past few days, and distributed them to the customers one by one.
Afterwards, I went to the Amuro Detective Agency for a walk, and was surprised to find that the increasingly rare Amuro Toru had appeared here.
"Boss, you actually came to work?"
Jiang Xia walked in and greeted him, while his eyes swept over him with a hint of regret - unlike Gin and Vermouth, Toru Amuro did not have the kind of lingering murderous aura. Only when he was concentrating on being a "Bourbon" or was angry about something, would he exude the fragrance of coffee like an important cadre of the brewery.
Toru Amuro heard the noise and turned around to respond.
After responding, I felt something was not right: the tone of his voice made it sound like the boss had finally caught an employee who was slacking off, even though he seemed to be the boss of this detective agency.
Toru Amuro: “…” But thinking about the length of time he had spent in the “Amuro Detective Agency” and comparing it with the dedicated Jiang Xia… he cleared his throat and stopped thinking about it.
Thinking of the news he had seen not long ago, Toru Amuro looked at the rare hardworking employee in front of him, and his eyes fell on Jiang Xia's arm: "Are you okay?"
...They actually attracted an international wanted criminal. Jiang Xia's tendency to get involved in incidents is really getting worse and worse.
Jiang Xia was slightly startled, then seemed to understand what he was talking about and nodded: "Fortunately, Shi Kaobing didn't take me seriously - I always feel that she has other things on her mind."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, if only I had a gun. Although a baton is good, it's still hard to gain an advantage against a gunman."
The hidden meaning was a bit loud, and although Toru Amuro was not very interested in Shi Kaobing's affairs, he still heard it.
He said casually, "I'll try to apply for you in two years, but not now. You're not old enough, so it won't be approved - forget about illegally possessing a gun. If you're caught, I won't go to the police station to get you out. At most, I'll just shoot you to silence you."
Although he said so, the murderous aura of coffee flavor that should have come out of this sentence did not come out. It was probably just a casual threat that was in line with the organization's personality.
Jiang Xia: “…” In two years, in two years, the opportunity will be gone… Those people who had been fooled by him using “in a year” or “in half a year” flashed through his mind, and he suddenly had a deeper understanding of the term “natural cycle”.
It’s not difficult to get a gun - you don’t even have to go to the black market, just find a few armed murderers and you can get a dozen.
But owning a gun legally is troublesome.
And if you have a gun but can't show it openly at the critical moment, what's the point of having it? It's better to let the puppet rush over and knock the person down.
Jiang Xia's mood dropped slightly.
When he came to his senses, he thought that even if he couldn't get the gun, at least he could invite Toru Amuro to a crowded place for a meal. He looked up and found that Toru Amuro had disappeared without a trace. He was the only one left in the detective agency again.
"...He ran so fast." Jiang Xia looked at the empty door and muttered to himself, "Forget it, let's just assume that he is busy."
Thinking of Toru Amuro’s two “main jobs” and countless part-time jobs, Jiang Xia sighed and gave up his previous plan.
After that, he thought about it, left the detective agency, and planned to go see Vermouth.
Jiang Xia: “…” However, Vermouth is now pretending to be “Dr. Xinchu”, and this identity has been targeted by the FBI. All those who frequently go in and out of the “Xinchu Clinic” seem to become their key targets of observation.
