Chapter 1940 1948 [Bourbon Alert]
Jiang Xia's expression changed slightly when he heard his question.
Conan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he could get some key clues from Jiang Xia.
However, the next moment, Jiang Xia's face turned serious and he said solemnly, "This is a secret for adults."
"?" Conan didn't expect him to be so self-righteous and perfunctory. "You talk as if you are an adult!"
Jiang Xia yawned: "I'm almost there."
Conan: "Then I'll be there soon too. I'm your classmate."
"But you are now in the same class as Ayumi and the others." Jiang Xia looked at his height, "So now, you still have more than ten years."
Conan: "...So what exactly did she come to you for?"
"Ask me for help." Perhaps his questioning was too persistent, or perhaps she felt it was not a big deal, Jiang Xia sighed, "Aren't you curious about why she was able to escape from the police so easily? She got help from a criminal, but was not satisfied with that person's control over her, so she wanted to provide me with clues so that I could arrest that person."
"Superior? It's actually a criminal gang..." The word "criminal gang" suddenly made Conan think of the image of the Black Organization.
But he soon shook his head again: If it was that organization, I heard from Huihara Ai that they attach great importance to confidentiality. Even senior code members will be killed if they leak secrets. In such a harsh environment, how could Torimaru Naoko escape and report to Jiang Xia?
"But this is too dangerous." Conan came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Xia, "If I'm not mistaken, she was holding a gun just now. This means that it is at least an evil gang involved in gun smuggling. You can't go in unarmed or with just a baton... Hmm? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xia: "I suddenly remembered...she seemed to have taken my baton away and didn't give it back to me."
Conan: “…”
This is not the point of discussion now!
...But it is undeniable that this is indeed a problem.
If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia's baton was custom made, with some materials on it that can increase cushioning and reduce damage. It hurts but is not easy to get hurt. Its maker, Dr. Agasa, is currently on a business trip. What if Jiang Xia wants to hit someone again during this period, but doesn't have a suitable baton, and accidentally hits someone and causes problems?
Conan: "Don't you have a spare one?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "I was running before... When I was running at night before, I didn't put the baton in place properly, and it fell out and was run over by a car."
Conan: “…” So you haven’t given up that bad habit of riding a motorcycle in the middle of the night!
He didn't know what to say for a moment: "What should I do then?"
Jiang Xia glanced at Noah who had just finished his work and felt that the problem was not serious: "Since she wants to cooperate with me, she should be sincere. She took my baton just now, and she must have forgotten about it in a hurry. When she finds out about this problem, maybe she will take the initiative to return it to me."
Conan felt that there was little hope: "She is a wanted criminal. She must be worried that you would call the police if she asked you to go to such a remote place. It would be too dangerous for her to send something to you at this time..."
Before he finished speaking, Conan looked at the path next to him and was suddenly stunned.
——The mysterious and unscrupulous boss of Jiangxia, Toru Amuro, walked over there holding something.
Conan's eyes fell on his hand, his pupils trembled slightly: "..."Is that...Jiang Xia's baton? !
Could it be that the "person" behind Torimaru Naoko is actually Amuro Toru? !
…
Two minutes ago.
Toru Amuro was slowly walking towards this side looking for Jiang Xia, when suddenly his phone vibrated and he received an email.
He took out his phone, opened it, and saw the following words written inside:
[My new subordinate is heading in your direction at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour and is expected to meet you by the park pool in 20 seconds.
[She is sensitive and introverted, and doesn't like to communicate with strangers. Please keep a safe distance and don't disturb her.
[If she throws something at you along the way, pick it up and bring it to your subordinate who is good at solving crimes.
[PS: The detective is on the bench 500 meters ahead, turn right, please go there in time.]
Toru Amuro: "..."
This seemed lighthearted and funny at first glance, but in fact, it had a controlling and malicious tone, which gave him a vague sense of déjà vu. After a quick glance, Amuro Toru instinctively frowned.
He continued to flip down, and then in the signature section on the lower right corner, he saw a few letters that left a deep impression on him - Ouzo
...If I remember correctly, the last time he received an invitation letter with this signature, not long after, he was trapped in the burning twin skyscrapers.
If the manufacturer had not generously placed a sports car in the lobby, the incident that day would have been difficult to resolve.
Amuro Toru was immediately alert. If there was anyone in the organization that he thought was the most dangerous and needed the most targeted investigation, it would undoubtedly be this guy codenamed "Uzo".
"His subordinates actually appear in this park?" Toru Amuro's heart moved slightly: One of the important ways to uncover the veil of a mysterious person is to start with the people around him.
If we can catch that subordinate...
This thought flashed through his mind, causing his heartbeat to speed up silently.
But soon, Amuro Toru calmly came to his senses: Rum was not far away. His presence might mean that there were people from other organizations hiding in the dark, ready to move out for some purpose at any time.
In addition, there were many police officers nearby, not to mention the huge number of citizens. The environment was too chaotic and it was not a good time to arrest anyone no matter how you looked at it.
and……
Toru Amuro: “…” Every time Uzo appears, nothing good is going to happen.
Perhaps this time, this is also a trap set for myself.
It would be fine if Uzo himself could be captured, and it would be worth taking the risk. However, it is obviously not worth it to risk exposing himself for a so-called "new subordinate" who may have been brainwashed by Uzo and can only ask for information customized by Uzo.
There was almost no need to make this choice, and Toru Amuro reluctantly gave up the idea of taking action.
He raised his head and looked forward. Not long after, he saw a man in camouflage and a gray wig leap out of the bushes and rush out.
When the woman saw him, she was startled, but soon she seemed to remember something, pulled out a baton and threw it at him with force.
Although she looked thin, she was actually quite strong. The stick was swung with a whistling sound, like a deadly hidden weapon.
In a split second, Amuro Toru raised his hand and caught it steadily. He observed the woman carefully, and when she ran away, he lowered his head and looked at the baton in his hand.
