Chapter 2251 2263 [Just Akai Shuichi]
Although he was a little concerned about his pseudonym being called incorrectly, a pseudonym is a pseudonym after all, and Akai Shuichi soon stopped paying attention to these details.
After some quick thinking, he put Conan and the old man down without any hesitation, jumped to the side with his feet, broke through the window, and disappeared from the sight of several people.
Jiang Xia immediately followed one step forward in a supportive manner, then stopped, with a complicated expression on his face as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Of course, these subtle changes did not escape Conan's eyes.
When Jiang Xia picked up the old man and planned to take him downstairs, Conan asked in confusion: "Do you know him?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "I have seen it."
Conan waited, but heard nothing further, so he had to ask himself: "Who is he?"
Jiang Xia shook his head and sighed, looking like he didn't want to say more.
——It is difficult to explain Shuichi Akai's multiple identities, and it is meaningless to explain them. It is better to be a riddler with difficulties, and let Conan find Shuichi Akai to investigate the rest. Once Conan, the emperor of luck, sets his eyes on Shuichi Akai, the frequency of his encounters with Shuichi Akai may increase immediately...
I used the Riddler's method to answer Conan's question, and when I looked over quietly, I found that the pupil's eyes had indeed become much sharper and his attention had shifted.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia's already good mood suddenly became even better.
After they arrived downstairs and put the old hostage on the ground, police cars arrived one after another.
With the police here, Jiang Xia doesn't have to worry about the remaining kidnappers upstairs. He avoided everyone's sight, silently counting the large handfuls of colorless murderous aura he had harvested this time, as well as a few unexpected surprises of ice cream, and nodded with satisfaction.
…
"Are you back from your trip?"
Officer Megure leaned against the police car, yawned and greeted Jiang Xia: He felt that his short leisure life was about to end, and he didn't know when the next dinner would be... Oh, the barbecue last night was really good, it would have been even better if he hadn't encountered that gun-wielding FBI after dinner...
With the police cleaning up the mess, things went much more smoothly.
Before long, Jiang Xia, as an important witness, learned a lot of information about this case.
"The kidnappers are the president and staff of the Ryujin Economic Research Institute." Miwako Sato flipped through the documents and sighed, "These guys have clearly retired from criminal activities, but they still refuse to behave themselves and insist on going back to their old ways. They really deserve it."
She looked at Shitara Shigekichi's information again. "That old Mr. Shitara was a key member of the Beika Construction Company and had been involved in a lot of bribery in the past. Perhaps after retirement, he felt guilty because of his old age. He wanted to expose the company's crimes, but he didn't have the courage, so he only stole the information and was targeted because of it."
Jiang Xia nodded as he listened. This information was a bit boring to him, but the FBI would probably want to know some of it, and then the FBI would have something else to do, such as investigating the Mihua Construction Company that had nothing to do with the organization.
Jiang Xia: “…” I’ll send the bill and the police investigation results together later. This will end the commission. I can also use this opportunity to show my goodwill to Akai Shuichi and encourage him to come to my house again when he has something to do in the future.
Well, in addition, I should also tell my boss about this matter tactfully, and remind him to answer important calls as soon as possible in the future.
…
Jiang Xia said goodbye to the police and leisurely thought about the bill.
On the other side, Vodka sat in his younger brother's car, and while being extremely wary of the living creature next to him, he came to the safe area tremblingly.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately sent this guy away, who he didn't know if he had ever met Uzo, away in front of his younger brother's blank gaze. Then he trotted around two streets and found a familiar car - Gin's car.
“Brother——!!”
While Vodka was shouting excitedly in his heart, he finally felt a little bit that he could survive.
His sneaky back finally straightened up a little, and he cursed in his heart: "Bastard elementary school student, bastard Wuzo, I will remember this grudge! Sooner or later, I will... I will make sure you can't trick me and make you die of anger!"
…
As soon as the burly figure in a windbreaker, hat and sunglasses appeared nearby, Gin immediately noticed it.
He glanced through the car window and was initially pleased that the assistant had completed the task on time, but the next moment he saw Vodka clearly, he couldn't help but frowned: "..." Why is he so dirty? What did Uzo do just now? Didn't he tell him to let Vodka get in the car and leave normally?
Thinking of this, Gin paused for a moment, and remembered the detailed requirements and wording he had adjusted according to the actual situation.
Gin: “…”
He looked at Vodka again and made a quick and cryptic assessment based on the changed requirements:
——Can still walk normally and independently, with no signs of broken arms or legs, and no major physical injuries.
——His expression was slightly distorted. He must be cursing Wu Zuo in his heart, but he didn't dare to curse him out loud. It can be seen that his mind is clear and normal, which is his usual state.
…it does barely meet the requirement of “no big deal”, but it’s just very close to the line, as if it’s testing someone’s bottom line.
Gin's mind flashed with the image of Uzo repeatedly stepping on the bottom line, and he snorted coldly: In that case, it's time to raise the bottom line a bit based on this - although Vodka is still alive, if he walks on the street in this state, he will easily be stopped by the police for questioning, which will leave a hidden danger of silencing him.
With this incident as a reference, Wuzo will understand what is truly "not a big deal" in the future.
Thinking of this, Gin took out his cell phone and planned to send an email to Uzo.
However, at this moment, his cell phone buzzed and an email was sent to him first.
I glanced at the sender: it was from Uzo.
Gin: “…”
quibble?
provocative?
Asking for the assassination list in exchange for sparing Vodka?
A series of guesses emerged in his mind reflexively, and he opened the email cautiously.
When he saw a name clearly, his eyes suddenly darkened and murderous aura surged around him.
…
Vodka got into the car with injuries all over his body. He calmed down and was about to complain, but before he opened his mouth, he found that Gin was reading an email with a strange expression on his face.
Vodka was stunned and instinctively swallowed back what he wanted to say. He decided to observe his brother's mood first.
At this moment, Gin deleted the email, put away his phone, and looked at him as if he was observing a stranger.
Vodka got goosebumps when he saw this and immediately guessed who the email that Gin was reading was from.
He spoke carefully, secretly reminding Gin not to be fooled: "Brother, what nonsense did Uzo make up again?"
Gin lit a cigarette, paused for two seconds and said, "I heard that you made an outstanding contribution in the operation against Akai Shuichi?"
Vodka: “……?”
Vodka: “???”
