Chapter 2617-2629 [Gin: This won’t happen again]
The cafe opposite the hospital.
Jiang Xia stirred the melted snow-capped coffee in front of him, looked across the street at the building opposite, and happily harvested today's portion of vanilla ice cream.
He was watching with satisfaction the ghosts carrying murderous aura back and forth, when suddenly, his cell phone vibrated and a call came in.
"Gin?" Jiang Xia picked up the phone cheerfully, his eyes falling towards the corner of the street, where there was a black car mixed in with the traffic. "I think I saw you. Come upstairs for a cup of coffee? It's my treat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the already strong smell of alcohol in the car became even more mellow.
…
Gin has lost an assistant these days, and his work has become busier. Today, he was doing a task nearby, but on his way back, he was blocked by a police car.
The blaring sound of sirens is obviously not a pleasant experience for an organizational cadre who pursues mystery and low-keyness.
Gin couldn't help but frown, but as an experienced outlaw based in Tokyo, he didn't rush through the checkpoint rashly, but observed the situation first.
Soon, Gin discovered that the police were not searching for people on the road, but were heading towards the Beika General Hospital not far away.
And if I remember correctly, according to Vodka's daily real-time reports...that stupid assistant is currently hospitalized in this hospital.
Gin: “…”
Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that this matter might be related to the vodka that Ouzo was obsessed with.
The Black Organization has many eyes and ears, and dedicated reporters have already begun reporting the hospital's movements in real time. Gin easily figured out the current situation.
Hearing the keywords "robber", "curly-haired man who came and went without a trace", and "hospitalized patient", Gin's brows were furrowed so much that they could crush a shikigami to death. Without any hesitation, he picked up his phone with murderous intent and called the culprit who caused all this.
Then I heard that familiar innocent tone.
The guy on the other end of the phone was drinking coffee while leisurely saying, "How could I hurt my dear colleague? It's just that he has been too close to the police recently. As his comrade-in-arms, for everyone's safety, I have to give him a little warning."
As he spoke, an email with a picture attached came over.
"..." Gin knew that this was most likely another sophistry, but his instinct to collect information still made him move his fingertips and open the email.
Soon, a secretly taken photo spread out on the screen - in the photo, Vodka was wearing a dusty hospital gown, with a peaceful look on his face under the close protection of two policemen.
Gin: “……?”
He stared at the photo of Vodka with a gloomy look, and suddenly noticed something else. He looked at the honest-looking policeman in the photo, pondered for a moment, and then called up the news page he was browsing just now.
After comparing several times, it was found that the police officer in the photo who once protected Vodka had turned into an informant developed by the robbery gang in the police.
“…”
Although he was not at the scene, but combined with his understanding of ouzo and vodka, it didn't take Gin long to figure out the causes and consequences of these cases.
He picked up the phone again, his murderous intent no longer as strong as before, and he just snorted coldly: "This is not a reason for you to fight among yourselves."
Jiang Xia looked at the dull car in the distance and left his sight indifferently: "No one was injured, no one was arrested by the police for investigation, and no one was silenced by you. How can this be considered an internal fight?"
Gin understood the meaning of his words.
"You'd better be as sensible as you said." Seeing that the police had caught the robbers and the road was cleared, Gin didn't stay any longer. He called two snipers for safety and warned, "Don't do it again."
…
Jiang Xia agreed readily.
After perfunctorily sending off the busy Gin, he calculated the time, paid the bill, and went downstairs to the hospital across the street.
When they arrived at the door, they saw the police escorting a group of robbers. "Mr. Yamada" was the last one to come, his whole body full of resistance. His appearance also made Inspector Megure's suspicion deepen.
"Jiang Xia? You are Mr. Jiang Xia!"
Suddenly, a surprised voice broke the dead silence. Seeing Jiang Xia coming towards him, Sekiguchi Ryofu rushed forward and said, "Thank you very much, otherwise my daughter and I would not know how this would end today."
Jiang Xia looked at him, his expression seemed a little confused.
Conan came back to his senses and quickly winked at Jiang Xia, hinting wildly. The two looked at each other, and Jiang Xia seemed to understand something: "You're welcome, it's all my responsibility."
Vodka looked at Guankou with a look of disappointment: "..." Thank him? Why thank him? It's like recognizing a thief as your father! ——You are in this situation today because of this little bastard. If it were you, you should immediately draw your gun and shoot him until the magazine is empty!
Unfortunately, not only could he not say these words now, he also had to grit his teeth and swallow his resentment, put on a look of surrender, and look at Jiang Xia.
——If you know what’s good for you, get me out of the police’s hands! Otherwise, I’ll turn into a ghost and come back to find you in the middle of the night!
"Mr. Yamada?" Perhaps because his sharp gaze was too obvious, Jiang Xia finally turned his head and looked over here.
The experienced detective looked at the positions of "Mr. Yamada" and the police, and as if realizing something, he asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Inspector Megure sighed and said tactfully, "The gang that robbed the bank a week ago was arrested, but it is difficult for us to identify their specific members. I never thought that my subordinates would be corrupted by money and become their accomplices..."
He used the situation of his subordinates to quietly hint at Vodka's current situation.
Jiang Xia really understood and couldn't help but frowned: "But Mr. Yamada doesn't seem like that kind of person. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Conan tried hard to suppress the corner of his mouth that was raised: "..." There was indeed a misunderstanding, but "Mr. Yamada" was indeed this kind of person. The previous appearance of an honest fan was just his disguise. But this time, this guy's disguise came to an end - all thanks to the mysterious Mr. Kurosawa.
I was happily imagining how much information I could get about the organization after catching Vodka, when a figure hurried over.
"Wait a minute!" Dr. Montenegro received the news and rushed over.
Under Vodka's vigilant and surprised gaze, he stopped him and said, "Mr. Yamada is my patient. I must be responsible for his safety. You can't take him away easily... Then again, why did you arrest him?"
Jiang Xia learned about the situation from Officer Takagi. He thought for a moment and said impartially, "The most suspicious thing about Mr. Yamada is the timing of his transfer. But in fact, the decision on the ward is made by the doctor. Rather than asking him, perhaps Dr. Heishan can provide you with more information?"
