Chapter 2691 2703 [Gin: On a business trip, please do not disturb]
"Wait." Jiang Xia glanced at his phone and stopped a classmate from pretending to be the lucky one by "emptying the prize pool":
"You two can use the package you just drew. Mr. Hashimoto also has tickets. He invited me to go to Hokkaido to watch a magic exhibition. The location is also Shikotsubahara. If we are lucky, maybe we can take the same train."
"I'm right, right?" The dedicated staff member next to him laughed and said, "That place often has magic, circus and drama performances. Not only can you enjoy the scenery, but it's a good deal if you go there."
Suzuki Sonoko was moved by what she heard, and turned around and rushed back to the mall: "Then I'll buy some snacks for the way, these are not enough!"
…
On a quiet night, some are happy and some are sad.
…Some people are also working overtime as usual.
Gin stepped on the accelerator and left the transaction site. After confirming that there was no one behind him, he slowed down and glanced at his phone.
Vodka sent another email. In addition to reporting on his work, his words also showed that he wanted to come back immediately to help him.
After talking with Wuzo for a while, I found that this assistant's work enthusiasm was abnormally high. In the past, although this guy was hardworking and never complained, he obviously didn't like working overtime, and he looked very tired when he worked all night, but now...
Gin: “…” It’s like he entered some devilish training camp and became a different person.
Although such a work attitude is gratifying, being too positive is sometimes abnormal. Gin is less and less anxious to get Vodka back - throw it away first, wait until this person returns to normal, and then do other things.
However, this way, the work that was originally done by two people is combined into one, and there is a lot more to do.
Gin thought of his recent tasks and frowned at his increasingly busy schedule, but soon he realized that this didn't seem to be a bad thing.
——Vodka was his assistant after all, and since he would be useful in the future, it would be bad to show his dislike for him now. Moreover, he deliberately avoided him, as if he was afraid of Uzo's childish tricks.
In comparison, it just so happened that he was going on a business trip to Hokkaido recently. There was no need to add a shot of vodka to the already scheduled itinerary. This would be a legitimate reason for the assistant to calm down and recall his previous working state.
Thinking of this, Gin replied to the email casually and gave the vodka perfunctorily when he arrived at the base.
Then he organized the documents and prepared for the upcoming business trip.
…
Time flies. While the FBI and Toru Amuro are busy investigating the huge master of Kyujuku Motoyasu, several high school students pack their luggage and come to the station, ready to start this much-anticipated journey.
After changing two trains, they walked through the quaint station and found a special train.
"The sleeper express 'Silver Meteor 1' will depart for Shikotsubara via Hakodate and Asahikawa." The attendant's voice came from the speakers, "Please board the train as soon as possible."
“We’re finally here!”
Suzuki Sonoko climbed up the steps, ran into the carriage holding her snacks, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is this station so big? It's worthy of Hokkaido. The land is like a gift for free."
Conan felt the same way and nodded repeatedly: changing cars is more tiring than escaping, and it is too unfriendly to elementary school students with short legs.
He held his knees and took a deep breath. When he stood up, he suddenly felt that there was someone missing next to him.
Looking back, he saw Jiang Xia stopped outside the car door for some reason. At this time, the detective was looking at the car in front of him, slightly dazed.
"What's wrong?" Conan ran out of the car again and looked in the direction he was looking, but he only saw the reflective body of the car.
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and said perfunctorily: "Nothing, I just think the shape of this car is quite rare."
Conan nodded and raised his hand to touch the carriage: "It should be made in imitation of old-style trains. Some scenic spots will deliberately retain this flavor."
Just as I was about to start a conversation following this topic, Jiang Xia had already picked up his luggage and got into the car.
Conan: “……?”
"Why does Jiang Xia look so excited..." the fake elementary school student murmured in his heart, "But come to think of it, it makes sense. I haven't traveled for a while. And it is said that there will be a traditional magic show at the Corpse Field. After watching so many large-scale stage magic shows, this kind of exquisite small magic show is quite interesting."
As he thought about it, he got on the car excitedly.
…
In my imagination, this should have been a pleasant journey.
However, in reality, not long after getting on the bus, the smile on Conan's lips gradually disappeared.
"Uncle Hashimoto?" Conan's eyes twitched as he looked at the haunted guy across the table and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?"
Maya Hashimoto held her chin and looked out the window, while glancing at his surprised expression from behind her sunglasses, and felt a faint sense of happiness in her heart for having quietly defeated the King of Score.
When Mao Lilan heard what Conan said, she quickly turned around to stop him: "Conan, how can you talk to Mr. Hashimoto like that? Thanks to his ticket, we can travel together this time - you don't know, the hotels on Corpse Field are much more popular than you think. On those days when there are performances, if you don't make a reservation in advance, there will be no room for you."
Conan was stunned: "He gave you the ticket? Didn't he say you won it in a lottery?"
Mao Lilan had not explained the situation to a child in detail before, and only told Conan that she was going to travel. Now, when she heard the carry-on luggage asking, she had to patiently explain: "The prize is just a family package for three people, thanks to Mr. Hashimoto who gave us one."
Conan: “……?”
Impossible! How could such a coincidence happen in the world? There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it - is there something wrong with the place where Xiaolan drew the lottery?
He wanted to ask his three high school classmates immediately, but Hashimoto Maya was right beside him... In the end, Conan could only swallow a lot of questions and smiled obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Hashimoto."
Hashimoto Maya smiled brightly: "You're welcome."
Conan: “…#”
…
This specially made sleeper car is much more spacious than ordinary vehicles.
While looking for a berth, Jiang Xia suddenly stopped.
"Officer Takagi? Officer Sato?" He was becoming more and more satisfied with the tickets that Hashimoto Maya had gotten. Looking at the familiar policemen in plain clothes, Jiang Xia greeted them happily, "Are you on vacation?"
"Jiang Xia?" The two policemen were also a little surprised, but soon, Jiang Xia's question smoothed their smiles again.
"There's no such thing as a vacation." Officer Sato sighed tiredly, "We're on a business trip. Maybe you don't know this, but there was an explosion at Beika Park yesterday. Although no one was injured, the firefighters who rushed to the scene found a threatening letter and two travel tickets to Shikotsubohara."
