Chapter 17401748 [Vermouth's Waiting]
Ireland: “…” However, one has to admit that Uzo’s abilities are indeed outstanding. As long as this guy doesn’t show any rebellious intentions, he will probably be just a treasure in the eyes of his superiors.
Rather than counting on the top leaders and second-in-command who are only interested in getting wealth out of Wuzo and cannot see that other cadres are in dire straits, if we want to deal with Wuzo, we must start with those who are deeply troubled and hope for Wuzo's downfall.
Soon, Ireland's attention turned to Bourbon again.
"Although there was a small misunderstanding between Bourbon and I due to Uzo's sudden intervention, we have been in the river together for so long, and with Uzo's presence, we should be very familiar with each other's positions. In this case, this misunderstanding can be resolved naturally."
Thinking of this, Ireland looked through the information and found Toru Amuro's phone number.
He didn't have Bourbon's private number, but the contact information of "Boss Amuro" was not difficult to find. After all, that guy had a prestigious detective agency, and he cleverly asked Jiang Xia to help him build his reputation so that he could collect all kinds of information.
Ireland: “…” Speaking of which, since Jiang Xia works as a detective at the Amuro Detective Agency, does he know Bourbon’s private identity?
This question made Ireland flip through the documents in his hand and fall into deep thought for a moment:
"In fact, Jiang Xia has only been working at the Amuro Detective Agency for a few months, and before that he had no contact with 'Amuro Toru'.
"If they have only known each other for such a short time, Bourbon is unlikely to tell Jiang Xia about the organization. The review period for peripheral members is longer than this. And the identity of 'Bourbon' is definitely more worthy of confidentiality - no matter from which perspective, Jiang Xia is very likely unaware of the true identity of 'Amuro Toru', and does not know that this boss is actually a dangerous element roaming the dark world.
"By the way, could it be that Bourbon leaves early and comes back late, rarely enters the office, and always avoids Jiang Xia as much as possible, because he doesn't want this highly observant detective to notice the abnormality of his identity?"
Thinking of this, Ireland couldn't help but sneered:
"If that's the case, this is a good handle - according to the famous detective's character of hating evil, once Jiang Xia knows that Amuro Toru is not a good person, he will definitely not continue to cooperate with this boss and provide Bourbon with information and connections.
“Bourbon is willing to take him into the detective agency, which means he thinks highly of this detective tool. It may not work to threaten Bourbon with this to do big things, but it should be no problem for some small things - for example, if Bourbon refuses to provide me with information about Uzo later, then I can try to use this to exchange for something.”
but……
Ireland frowned, and suddenly thought of a question:
What if Jiang Xia knew about the existence of the Black Organization, or even knew Bourbon’s identity?
"We have to find Bourbon to test it out. If this is true, Jiang Xia's identity is very suspicious." Ireland's thoughts were racing, suspiciously recalling the whole process of his encounter with Jiang Xia.
Then he gradually felt that the possibility was not high: Jiang Xia was very different from the members of the organization, and not to mention the detective's sense of justice, the first and most obvious point was that his vigilance was too poor.
On the plane, he dared to accept snacks from anyone. Later, when they met by chance, Jiang Xia also nibbled on the biscuits he handed over. From the live broadcast not long ago, he also accepted all kinds of snacks thrown to him by the female police officers who were very familiar with Jiang Xia in the police station.
...If he were a member of the organization, he wouldn't live long if he ate like this. Any reckless enemy could send him to the grave. Bourbon chose Jiang Xia as his subordinate probably because he coveted his ability and fame.
But now, Jiang Xia’s life has indeed entered the countdown.
Ireland thought of the snacks he had passed to Jiang Xia, which were mixed with chronic poison and were indeed eaten by Jiang Xia. His suspicions gradually eased and his heart fell back into his stomach: Even if Jiang Xia's identity was questionable, he could easily take his life, so it wouldn't be a big problem. The current focus was still Uzo and Bourbon.
Ireland pulled himself out of his distracted state and glanced at his phone.
Then he found that Toru Amuro had not answered the call he had just made and the phone was automatically hung up.
"Do you not want to answer an unfamiliar number, or are there too many people calling this number looking for 'Toru Amuro'?"
Ireland frowned, thought for a moment, put his phone away, stood up and walked out.
…
Although the previous murder plan case came to an end quickly, there was a kidnapping and bombing case before it.
After all the trouble, it was already dark. Jiang Xia went straight home after dinner.
He met up with the program crew the next day and went to school together.
I had originally planned to go to school for the photo shoot on Monday, but it was unexpectedly delayed to Wednesday.
Perhaps because they had failed too many times before, this time, the way to school was surprisingly smooth. All the way to the school gate, the production team was not tripped up by any sudden incidents.
When the camera briefly moved away to film the school, Kinoshita Yoko whispered to Jiang Xia: "It was unexpected that the journey today was so smooth."
The staff of the program crew were also looking around unconsciously, as if they couldn't believe that there was no sudden case to film today.
Jiang Xia was very calm about this and didn't feel too surprised: after all, the boss and Conan didn't follow.
Of course, he couldn't say this to Kinoshita Yoko. He just said, "This is actually the norm. What happened yesterday was just an isolated incident."
The reporter who was mixed in the program crew, thinking of the density of reports on the Jiangxia case, couldn't help but glance over here: Really? I don't believe it.
…
Across from the show, the principal of Teitan Middle School was already waiting at the door with a smile on his face. Looking closely, his smile seemed a little stiff, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
In the distance, the school doctor of Teitan Middle School passed by the small square at the school gate and headed towards the gymnasium.
Passing by the door, he glanced over here.
Vermouth pushed the doctor's face and adjusted her glasses: "..." He actually came. Fortunately I didn't miss it.
You know, she didn't get to wait yesterday and the day before yesterday, and she wanted to take a leave today. Fortunately, she persisted in the end.
Vermouth went to the gym as if nothing had happened, and decided to quickly follow up on the situation near the program crew after finishing her work, so as to prevent Uzo from extending his claws to the school like he did to the factory yesterday.
Vermouth doesn't care whether this school is dead or alive, but Mao Lilan is still taking classes here at this time - she is a little worried that Uzo will forget about this while playing and accidentally hurt her Angel.
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a strong gaze coming towards her.
“…”
Vermouth took a few steps and turned back to see Uzo staring at him. When their eyes met, the high school student smiled at him, as if he was greeting a school teacher.
Vermouth: “…”Tsk.
