Chapter 2254 2266 [Vodka·Come to the Market] Ask for monthly ticketヽ(〃〃)~
Jiang Xia: "..." Write down the details? What if I write them down but you don't come?
He had some objections to this solution, but it sounded reasonable after all, so Jiang Xia did not refute it.
He nodded politely, then looked at his watch and wanted to say something.
Toru Amuro followed his gaze and looked at the clock, and found that it was exactly dinner time.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up as if in a hurry and said casually: "Give me the contact information and address left by Akai. Although it may be false, it is necessary to verify it. I will go over and take a look immediately."
"..." Jiang Xia's plan to invite his boss to dinner was interrupted. He sighed and handed over Akai Shuichi's commission form.
Toru Amuro wrote down the information above, stood up easily, and left quickly.
After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and quickly filled out a bill.
——He remembered that Jiang Xia never discussed fees when accepting commissions. If the client was used to paying the commission in advance, Jiang Xia would accept it, but if the client was not familiar with the process and thought that the payment would be made afterwards, Jiang Xia would not take the initiative to ask for it.
The prepaid amount was not written on the entrustment form just now, which shows that Shuichi Akai has defaulted on the entrustment fee. Of course, we can't pretend that this didn't happen.
Amuro Toru sneered, quickly filled out the bill, and then said to Jiang Xia: "Send it to the address he left."
He didn't stay after that and turned to go out. Soon, the sound of his car starting was heard outside.
Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, looked out the door, and stared at the tires of the car carefully.
Then he looked at the big handful of coffee-flavored murderous aura that he had grabbed when he mentioned Akai Shuichi just now, hesitated for a moment, and conscientiously retracted his gaze.
…
Half a day later.
Shuichi Akai planned to give James a brief report on what happened in the morning, but when he called his old boss, he seemed to be hesitant to talk.
Akai Shuichi keenly noticed something unusual: "What happened?"
James: "Nothing, it's just that our safe house received a bill for you, you..." He stared at the number on it, hesitant to speak, "What did you buy?"
Akai Shuichi was also a little confused. He hadn’t bought anything recently, let alone bought anything on credit. “Take a photo and send it to me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his forehead and remembered: he forgot to pay Jiang Xia the commission fee.
But how much can the commission be? Even if you are a famous detective...
Just as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang and he received the bill that James had taken and sent to him.
Shuichi Akai looked at the "0" above, and after a moment, he pressed his eye sockets and looked at it again.
Akai Shuichi: “…”Yeah…I counted correctly.
...Is the loss of the building and the car also blamed on him?
After looking at the details more carefully, I found that there was also taxi fees for round-trip transportation to Jiangxia.
Shuichi Akai was silent for a moment: He had previously expressed his admiration for Toru Amuro who had taught people how to claim expenses, but he had not expected that in the end he would be the one to bear the bill.
Akai Shuichi: "..." Wait, Toru Amuro?
He looked at the sky-high bill and realized: Bourbon probably already knew that the client was Shuichi Akai.
...Was it Jiang Xia who told him, or was it that first-grade kid?
"Jiang Xia is more likely." Akai Shuichi sighed inwardly, "I don't know if his position is simply on Bourbon's side, or if he is more inclined towards the organization. Then again, with his observation skills, and having stayed with Bourbon for such a long time... could it be that he has already guessed Bourbon's origins?"
Just as he was lost in thought, a voice brought him back to reality.
James: “So what did you buy?”
"..." Akai Shuichi, "A chance to test it out."
James: “Well…”
Akai Shuichi: "Is there still some reimbursement?"
James nodded silently: "Of course." But they had only just arrived in Tokyo for a short time, and the expenses they spent were already much higher than the budget - they had just reimbursed Judy for a car not long ago, and now they had to report this sky-high bill to Shuichi Akai... Hiss, his head was already starting to hurt.
…
A peaceful day passed like this.
But for others, the impact of these cases is not over yet.
The next day, in an ordinary restaurant.
"The cases that Jiangxia encounters are still so dense and terrifying."
Maya Hashimoto has been busy buying materials and building the Kaishin Theater for Usa.
After finalizing another order with the builder, he found a nearby restaurant that had been very popular recently, ordered a bowl of udon noodles, and ate it leisurely.
He ate and watched the news to kill time, and soon caught up on the cases around Jiang Xia during this period. The more he read, the more frightened he could not help but feel:
“Why does the ‘enthusiastic solver’ in the previous case report sound so much like Uzo? Why did Uzo suddenly show up in person to solve the case? Is he using this method to express his lack of manpower and indirectly criticize me for taking too long to build the theater?
"…Although I really want to build it till the end of time, so as to delay the time of returning to Jiangxia to face those cases of Wuzo, I dare not slack off in my actions. I am already building the theater as fast as I can!"
After recalling her own construction efficiency, Maya Hashimoto felt slightly relieved.
He tried to comfort himself: "I am not the only subordinate of Uzo, there must be others. This should be a warning to others... After all, building a theater must be considered an achievement, I won't be eliminated last because of this."
Just as she was feeling a little frightened, Hashimoto Maya suddenly saw a familiar-looking person walking past the door out of the corner of her eye.
He recalled the figure he had just seen, and a code suddenly popped up in his mind: "Vodka? Why is he here? Does he have a mission here?"
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya silently quickened the pace of eating noodles: although vodka is not as scary as uzou, according to his experience, although members of the organization need to "act covertly", that "covertness" is limited to not leaving any traces.
So sometimes, in order to achieve this goal, they would choose to bomb the area, using fire and explosions to eliminate any traces of themselves left at the scene.
"But fortunately, in order to weaken the official pursuit, the organization will try to avoid casualties. This restaurant is so popular, it shouldn't be a place that can be detonated." Hashimoto Maya muttered to herself, "I still have time to finish this meal."
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, a childish voice came from the next room separated by green plants.
"Strange uncle?" Conan asked the person who was eating at the same table with him, "Where is he? How strange is he?"
Hashimoto Maya's hand holding the chopsticks froze: "?!"
...There are other Uzo minions besides me nearby? !
...This meal cannot be eaten anymore, we must leave immediately!
