Chapter 1708 1716 [Vermouth: Grasping Uzo's Script] Asking for a monthly ticket (`)
Katsuhiko Takei forcibly ended the meeting, and Secretary Hanai sent Jiang Xia and the others downstairs.
Compared to Katsuhiko Takei, the kidnapping seemed to have a greater impact on Hanai Akiko. She was frequently distracted and tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing how hard she was working to wipe the wound, Yoko Kinoshita handed her an unused handkerchief.
Secretary Hanai came back to his senses, took the handkerchief and wiped his eyes, then smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Jiang Xia looked at her and said, "You seem to have a good relationship with Takei-san?"
Secretary Hanai nodded. "Her mother died early, and Mr. Takei was very busy, so he always asked me to help take care of her. Maybe in Naoko's eyes, I am like her own sister... or even her mother."
Just as they reached the door, they saw Kinoshita Yoko's assistant and others were outside in the yard. Secretary Hanai stopped and said, "Just send you here. I'll go back first."
She bowed, retreated back into the house and closed the door.
Kinoshita Yoko sighed and whispered to Jiang Xia: "The child she watched grow up was kidnapped, and her life or death is unknown. She must be feeling very sad now."
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.
Then he looked at the sky and was surprised to find that it was almost dinner time, so he invited the two people involved in the case: "Let's have dinner together and talk about this commission... Hmm?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xia turned around and suddenly found that while he was chatting with Kinoshita Yoko, Amuro Toru had actually opened the car parked next to him, bent down and sat in the driver's seat, and then closed the door tightly.
Hearing Jiang Xia's words, the cunning boss's eyes flashed with expressions such as "as expected", "fortunate", and "comfortable". Finally, he quickly said seriously: "Sorry, I have a part-time job next."
Then he looked at Kinoshita Yoko: "Ms. Yoko, Jiang Xia didn't drive here. This place is far from the city. Please take him back."
After blocking the next request in advance, before Jiang Xia could react, Amuro Toru stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out of the hospital gate in the blink of an eye, leaving only a rapidly disappearing figure.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
...Is it that serious? I just wanted to get a ride to have a meal. I'm not going to take him to the interrogation room. He's hiding too quickly.
Kinoshita Yoko was also stunned by the speed of the car leaving. After several seconds, she blinked and came back to her senses: "Your boss... is so busy. He went to work part-time right after get off work. Is he short of money?"
Jiang Xia: "No, he just seems to like working part-time. It's his hobby."
Although Kinoshita Yoko had heard about it, she was still shocked to see how fast Amuro Toru caught up with his part-time job: "People's hobbies are really diverse."
Seeing that Jiang Xia seemed a little disappointed, Kinoshita Yoko said considerately: "It doesn't matter if he is busy. I'm free now. Let's go and have dinner with your sister. You don't have to be so restrained since your boss is not here."... Although Jiang Xia didn't look very restrained before.
Finally off work, Yoko Kinoshita happily pushed Jiang Xia into her car.
…
Having said that, as a star, Yoko Kinoshita cannot eat in a busy restaurant.
So in the end, they had a private dinner in her lounge. The only participants were Jiang Xia, Kinoshita Yoko, and Kinoshita Yoko's agent.
Excluding Jiang Xia and Kinoshita Yoko, there was only one person, and even the suspects in the proof question could not be gathered, so nothing happened along the way.
The journey home was also peaceful.
After entering the house, Jiang Xia looked at his empty house and sighed.
"I haven't been out with the boss for a long time, so my tire-puncturing skills have become slower. I need to practice more in the future." Jiang Xia reviewed today's mistakes. "And Conan, when Xiaolan came over after school to catch someone, I should have invited her to join us in the investigation. It's a pity that Mr. Takei has a bad temper, and he might not let more people go..."
Without staying in the peaceful day for too long, Jiang Xia quickly found something to do.
He threw the original body onto the bed. Before long, there was a dark cloud snow cat wandering around Tokyo.
…
On the other side, Teitan Junior High School.
Having waited from dawn till almost dusk, as the last student left the school gate, in a silent office, Vermouth silently put down her thermos cup, realizing that her wait today was completely in vain - everyone had left, and the production crew would definitely not come again today.
Vermouth: “…” Very good, another day wasted.
Fortunately, she didn't have anything to do for the time being.
Vermouth yawned out of boredom, pushed up the glasses that belonged to "Dr. Shinchu" on her nose, picked up her briefcase and left.
…
The whole day was terribly boring, but on the way home, Vermouth suddenly found something interesting.
She walked onto the bridge, took two steps and then stepped back, looking at another parallel bridge in the distance, and suddenly raised her eyebrows silently.
Afterwards, Vermouth found a portable monocular telescope disguised as a medical instrument, set it up in front of her eyes, and looked far under the bridge. She saw a middle-aged man lying against the wall.
The person on the ground was in a stiff posture, with a dark liquid in front of him. No matter how you look at it, this looked like a crime scene where someone died with their eyes open. Because the location was relatively hidden, it had not yet been discovered by the police.
Vermouth glanced casually at the dead man's face and found that he looked familiar.
Soon she remembered, thinking with interest: "Isn't this one of the customers who quarreled in the coffee shop that Wuzo booked at the beginning of the live broadcast? I said how could Wuzo let them go, it turns out that Yan Yan died here, it seems that this is the script that Wuzo will use tomorrow."
Although encountering the corpse on the road was purely accidental, in her heart, Vermouth was not surprised by this death case: if the two people who were arguing loudly in the cafe were arranged by Uzo in advance, then according to Uzo's habit, they could only burn their lives to add color to this live broadcast.
If it was not pre-arranged, then they undoubtedly disrupted Wu Zuo's live broadcast and took the initiative to pass the killing intention and flaws to Wu Zuo. This is like putting a piece of fresh meat in the mouth of a hungry tiger. Who can resist the temptation to chew the food with just a move of their teeth?
Besides, they had already appeared in Uzo's live broadcast, and the quarrel took up a certain amount of space. If this kind of opening character who took the initiative to go on stage disappeared in a common way, it would seem incoherent. Even if it was just for the integrity of the performance, Uzo could only happily send them off.
Compared to this, Vermouth suddenly came up with a bold idea.
——If the body of the man under the bridge is destroyed and the crime scene is cleaned up, and there is nothing to delay him on the road tomorrow, will Wu Zuo have to follow the program team's plan and go to school obediently?
