Chapter 16901698 [Gin's Test]
This time, Rum traveled to Hokkaido to win over a scientific research group.
The mission went very smoothly, and it wouldn't be long before the group could be used by the organization. But before that, there was still a small problem.
——This group has a lot of illegal income. After the heir took over, he did a lot of tax evasion. This was discovered by a hacker who specializes in commercial blackmail.
The hackers got their hands on the real ledger and demanded a huge ransom.
The young heir of the consortium quickly chose to surrender after receiving the olive branch thrown by the organization, but he also proposed that the organization must silence the hacker to prevent the company's illegal activities from being exposed.
The hacker was just a small fry, and Curacao had planned to deal with him last night, but she encountered a plane falling from the sky on the way.
...Compared to the hacker who was still waiting for the ransom, Ireland and Uzo, who were involved in the plane crash, were obviously more worthy of attention. Curacao therefore temporarily changed its target.
Unexpectedly, after just a short delay, the hacker actually returned to Tokyo. I think he felt that the extortion in Hokkaido was almost certain to succeed, and the only thing left was to transfer the money, so he planned to return to Tokyo to do the next job.
"I remember that because the hacker asked for a huge ransom, the heir of the consortium successfully delayed for half a month to raise funds." Curacao recalled the ongoing task, "We just need to get rid of the man within half a month. Fortunately, he thought he was acting covertly and didn't deliberately erase his tracks, so it wouldn't be difficult to track him - compared to that, the congressman's matter is more important."
She adjusted her already busy work schedule, quickly packed up and returned to Tokyo.
…
Like several of his colleagues, Jiang Xia also set out on the journey back to Tokyo that day.
However, as a righteous detective who did not need to hide, he used public transportation. A group of Beihua Town residents slept in the sleeper berth for a night, adjusted the mess of time difference, and arrived at the station early the next morning, refreshed.
Jiang Xia was still wondering if something would happen on the way, but Conan was thinking seriously with his CPU burning. In the end, the journey was safe and sound, and the group arrived in Tokyo smoothly.
Jiang Xia: “…” This is not scientific.
Conan is tired?
He slept for so long on the plane and still felt tired. This elementary school student must be in poor health...
Jiang Xia decided to take some time to send some tonic medicine to his haggard neighbor.
…
The few of them arrived at the station very early. Today was Monday, and a group of students had just returned to Tokyo at the last minute of their holiday.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko hurried home to pack up and rush to school. Conan was also taken to school, while Huiyuan Ai asked for a day off for herself and went home slowly from the station with Professor Agasa.
Jiang Xia did not go with them. He used the excuse that a client was looking for him and left the station and went to the other side.
After walking a few steps out of the remote exit, Jiang Xia saw a familiar black car parked on the side of the road.
His eyes lit up, he opened the car door and got in, and was instantly enveloped by the high-end murderous aura in the car.
The ghosts who had been yawning all the way were also refreshed. They floated down from Jiang Xia and started to pick fruits busily.
Jiang Xia closed the car door casually and leaned back in the chair comfortably, feeling very satisfied with the gift he received after returning.
At the same time, he glanced at Vodka: It's a pity that the person next to Gin is not very sensible, which is in sharp contrast with his elder brother - he was welcoming his colleagues without even offering them some ice cream, which was really perfunctory.
In the front seat, Vodka immediately noticed his gaze and was puzzled: "…" What! I didn't provoke you.
He pushed his sunglasses up with a grim look on his face, pretending not to notice Jiang Xia's burning gaze, and concentrated on driving.
The atmosphere in the car seemed very solemn.
Gin rarely made any sarcastic remarks. He just stared at Jiang Xia through the rearview mirror with a scrutinizing look. His expression was grim and his murderous aura was stronger than usual.
Jiang Xia actually didn't see the look in his eyes: he hadn't pulled out the murderous aura in the car for many days, so the murderous aura in the car was denser than usual, floating around, even blocking his view a little.
Although it was a bit strange that Gin didn't speak, Jiang Xia didn't want to interrupt this rare production process for the time being. Therefore, he didn't take the initiative to speak, but planned to do something else to kill time.
Jiang Xia felt in his pocket, took out a sealed ghost mint, and opened the package. This was a new cigarette, and it had not yet been mixed with murderous aura.
Jiang Xia was thinking about the taste he wanted to create this time.
First use iced black tea as a base, which is refreshing and not greasy.
But if it's too cool, it'll be bland, so soak some marshmallows and add one-sixth of a scoop of ice cream.
Apple and aloe vera are also added, which are refreshing and healthy. Of course, how can adults' drinks be without alcohol? Add some of the usual alcoholic flavor. This is the largest stock, so you can add more.
Although there was a strong smell of alcohol and murderous aura nearby, the murderous aura had to pass through the imprint space before it could be used by him, so there was no need to worry about the murderous aura around affecting the taste of the ghost mint.
Jiang Xia quickly mixed one according to his own ideas.
The things added were a little mixed, but after all, he was not a professional. Jiang Xia recalled his own operations and felt confident that there was no problem: wine and iced black tea were the base, apples and aloe vera were flavorings, and marshmallows and ice cream were snacks. Together, they would definitely be a summer ice drink with a superb taste.
…
On the passenger seat.
Gin originally wanted to wait for Jiang Xia to lose his patience and say something. In this way, he might be able to judge from Jiang Xia's first words what he was currently focusing on, and then figure out the real purpose of this guy messing with the plane.
However, after waiting for a long time, Uzo didn't say a word.
...It didn't look like he was engaging in a silent confrontation, but was just concentrating on fiddling with the thing in his hands.
The rearview mirror couldn't see that low, so Gin had to condescend to look back, and saw Jiang Xia holding a simple hand-rolled cigarette.
Gin: “…” Does it take so long to fiddle with a cigarette?
That can't be a bomb disguised as a smoke screen.
"Heh, you're really leisurely." Gin probed implicitly, "You just made such a big noise, and now you can play with your new props as if nothing happened."
"This is not a prop." Jiang Xia picked up the cigarette and shook it. "Can't you see? I'm mixing drinks."
Gin: “……?”
Vodka couldn't help but push his sunglasses up again and adjusted the angle to take a peek.
But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary cigarette, no different from the fake cigarettes that Uzo usually smokes.
Vodka: "..." Is this guy crazy? Or is this some middle school student's house game?
No. Adding air in it and calling it seasoning... What elementary school students play with now is more advanced than this.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to laugh.
But when he remembered who was sitting behind him, Vodka stopped laughing: "..." If I get recorded for this...
Wait. Maybe this is Wuzo fishing again, looking for a reason to deal with him legitimately.
