Chapter 2218 2229 [Informant]
As she spoke, Judy glanced at the tennis bag with a hint of caution.
Judy: "..." There wouldn't be a sniper rifle or something like that hidden in this bag, right? What if he suddenly pulls out his gun and starts shooting... Damn, I really should apply for a bulletproof vest.
But she quickly dismissed the idea: she suspected that if she really wore it, she would immediately encounter a shooting case, and then the bulletproof vest on her body would be exposed during the police search - this thing is not something that ordinary citizens should carry with them, and her identity in the police's eyes would become strange again.
While Judy was daydreaming, the young man opposite her answered her question very normally:
"I'm a tennis coach. I usually work at a tennis court in the city. I happened to pass by here after get off work today, so I brought a tennis bag with me. By the way, if you need any guidance in this area, you can always come to me."
He looked at his watch again, thinking: "This rain should stop in a while. If you don't mind, you can come to my house and sit for a while, and then come back in the afternoon. It's just the right time."
Vermouth: "..."
Want to visit your house?
It is true!
Of course, Judy had thought of the same things she had thought of, and even more.
Judy couldn't help but look at Suzuki Sonoko: "..." What a coincidence!
Suzuki Sonoko led them here, and then they met a "passerby" passing by here at the exact moment...
This level of coincidence is full of conspiracy. Could it be that this seemingly innocent high school girl is really a member of Uzo's plan?
So what role does this young man in front of me play? It seems that today...
"Let's just forget it."
Suddenly, a voice broke the two women's increasingly deep thoughts.
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand without any reluctance, politely declining the young man's invitation: "Even if the rain stops, there will definitely be a lot of water here in the afternoon, and we won't be able to play tennis at all - we have other things to do, so let's visit again next time."
The high school girl's thinking is simple and direct: she didn't come here to play tennis. There is no one worth watching on the court now, so why play? Retreat!
However, nearby, the interrupted thoughts of two people quickly resumed and continued on in an unknown direction.
Vermouth: "..."
Under the cover of the umbrella, she quietly poked Jiang Xia with her elbow: Did you hear that? The curtain you just opened is about to be closed.
"A-choo!" Jiang Xia turned his head away and sneezed. He looked listless and ignored Vermouth's poking. He looked as if he didn't care about the conversation in front of him at all.
Vermouth was stunned: “…” There was no reaction at all. Could it be that Uzo would also lose interest in his original hobby because of illness like ordinary people?
...This is good news, there is one more way to save my life.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to make someone sick - it took so long for Uzo to finally catch a cold, and it is unknown when the next one will be.
But on the other hand, this is a good opportunity to observe and figure out Uzo's various habits when he is sick.
Although Vermouth appears calm on the outside, her mind never stops working.
Next to her, Judy was no less shocked than Vermouth.
She looked at Suzuki Sonoko, then at the man carrying the tennis bag, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Judy: “…” You refuse now?
That's impossible.
Then why did Suzuki Sonoko ask her to take a detour?
After being confused for a moment, Judy tried to calm herself down: Perhaps this rejection was just a play between chess pieces - by playing this half-hearted approach, she could reduce Suzuki Sonoko's suspicion.
Judy: "..." Yes, that's right. Next, when the tennis man invites her again, Suzuki Sonoko will accept it, and everything will proceed as usual... This little trick can't be hidden from the experienced FBI.
As she thought about it, she calmly pushed up her glasses, and a wise light flashed in the lenses.
At this moment, the tennis man sighed and said, "You're right, the drainage here is really average. In that case, let's play together again when we have the chance."
Then he waved goodbye and left without any regrets.
Suzuki Sonoko had no more lingering feelings. She stretched and looked at Judy: "You arrange it."
Judy: “…”
Judy: “???”
…
In any case, since you can't see through the other party's routine, just act according to the plan for the time being.
With a lot of questions in her mind, Judy took a few people to the river and found the fishing spot she had chosen.
After setting up a small portable awning, Judy handed Jiang Xia a fishing rod and took another one herself: "Come and try it, the catfish here are easy to catch!"
...I hope "that person" will also take the bait.
I have to say that the sport chosen this time actually also contains Judy's good wishes.
Jiang Xia sneezed again. He had little interest in fishing. But he had nothing to do, so he didn't refuse and just cast a rod and waited for the fish to bite.
While Judy was chatting with a few people and livening up the atmosphere, she was also observing her surroundings to see if there were any suspicious figures - maybe someone else would soon invite them into their home to sit down?
After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, Judy's attention began to disperse. She looked around, seemingly relaxing and gazing into the distance, but in fact she was observing the woods in the distance: "..." Akai Shuichi hid really well, worthy of being the FBI ace, she couldn't tell where this person was hiding.
In this case, “that person” probably won’t be able to see it. Will he take the bait today?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice next to me.
Conan stared at the river and rubbed his eyes vigorously: "...Is it because of my fever that I am blurry? I feel like the water level seems to be higher than before."
He was also suffering from a cold at the moment, and his voice was hoarse, buried in the mask.
Amid the sound of the rain and running water, no one could hear the muttering of a primary school student. Instead, Mao Lilan sighed in frustration and pulled up the fishing rod in her hand: "My float fell off again."
"Didn't you tie it properly before?" Judy came back to her senses, came over, and took the fishing line to demonstrate to her, "The surface of the fishing line is relatively smooth, so you need to tie a special knot - look, like this!"
She was happily tying knots when she heard Suzuki Sonoko's surprised voice: "Jiang Xia, look! Your fishing rod is moving so much - it looks like it's a big one!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Xia looked up at the water.
Judy was also attracted by the movement here and looked over in surprise.
She was also shocked when she saw it. She had never seen the fishing rod shake so violently - what a big fish it must be! Jiang Xia was so lucky!
