Chapter 2763 2775 [Trick]
Jiang Xia lifted Conan onto the motorcycle and turned back. After leaving the tunnel, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the nearby commercial district.
Conan held the skateboard and took the time to look up: "How do you know where he is going?"
Jiang Xia: "The boss had been chasing a taxi and that taxi had left from the hotel. Overall, the boss' target must have been scared after seeing the large number of police officers downstairs, or heard that someone in the hotel was dying and felt unlucky, so he planned to change his residence.
"And in the direction you were heading just now, there is only one hotel of similar size to the Beihu City Hotel. That guest is likely to stay there."
Conan: “…” Toru Amuro chased after the taxi and left… So you started peeking so early?
Then Conan realized that he was also peeking at the scene, and he was speechless. He shut up and took a ride to the hotel where the target was.
It's not that he didn't think of what Jiang Xia said just now, but skateboarding in the dense traffic took up too much brain power, so he didn't have time to think too much. Now that he calmed down, he suddenly figured it out.
"But...if Toru Amuro is really working for the Black Organization, and Jiang Xia and I happen to disrupt his plans, will that lead to something bad?"
The unfortunate scene of himself being knocked unconscious by a club flashed through his mind. Conan raised his voice against the howling wind and said to Jiang Xia: "Since he has discovered us, it seems there is no point in following him. Why don't we go home first?" - Then he sneaked out to investigate on his own.
Jiang Xia: "Even if we get back, you'll have to sneak over there alone again, so why don't I just drop you off on the way?"
Conan: “…”
…He suspected that this guy could read minds, but he had no evidence.
Jiang Xia added: "Actually, although the boss looks a little suspicious, I feel that he is a warm-hearted and good person - you don't have much contact with him, so you will slowly get to know him in the future."
Conan: “…” Haha, if you hadn’t called Gin a good person, I might have believed it a little bit.
But no matter what, Jiang Xia was in control of the motorcycle, and Conan really wanted to go to the hotel. In the end, the two of them drove all the way to the hotel where the "mysterious guest" had changed his stay.
Jiang Xia parked his motorcycle, took off his helmet, and glanced at the open-air restaurant in front of the hotel: "Let's just wait here. It would be rude to track him too closely. Besides, with the boss's methods, it would be easy for him to sneak in here and become an employee. As soon as we go to the front desk to inquire, he will receive the news."
Conan nodded, chose a very hidden table and sat down, then ordered some desserts: After leaving the tunnel, he and Jiang Xia turned straight back, but Amuro Toru had to take a detour to come over - with Jiang Xia's driving speed, in this busy urban area, they should have left the suspicious boss behind.
"I guess Toru Amuro didn't expect that I would go around to the front." Conan took a sip of the juice brought by the waiter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. "As long as we observe what he does when he comes to the hotel while he is off guard, it won't be difficult to find clues."
Thinking of this, Conan looked around, trying to find an angle that would least expose himself.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly paused and stopped at Jiang Xia's face - Jiang Xia was stirring the coffee while looking at a middle-aged man sitting not far away.
Conan immediately looked over and after a quick look, he immediately noticed something strange about this man.
——This open-air restaurant is not a formal occasion. Those who sit here to dine are either passers-by who are taking a break while strolling around, or guests coming out of their guest rooms.
Among this group of guests who were dressed casually and in a leisurely manner, this middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a serious expression stood out.
Especially now, he clearly ordered a beer, but didn't drink it at all. He just held a suitcase in his arms and looked around nervously.
"That suitcase looks pretty heavy." Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and whispered to Conan, "Based on my recent experience, it should contain money."
Conan had a similar guess, and suddenly, a thought came to him: Could it be that this man was conducting some kind of illegal transaction? And Amuro Toru, or the target that Amuro Toru was targeting, was the transaction partner of this middle-aged man?
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but jump off the stool and whispered to Jiang Xia: "You sit here, I'll be back soon."
As he said this, he turned around and ran behind the green wall next to him like a naughty child, then jogged a few steps and came to a place where he was separated from the middle-aged man by a tree.
Just at this moment, the middle-aged man's cell phone rang after a few rings.
He was startled and immediately picked up the phone, then said stealthily, "Hello? This is Endo, yes, yes, it's just me, no one else is traveling with me."
Conan: “…” There is indeed a problem!
He quickly pricked up his ears and leaned in to listen carefully. The next moment, a thunderous sound penetrated his ears, and Endo Keigo slammed the table and stood up: "What did you say?!"
Other guests nearby: “?!”
Amuro Toru, who had just shaken off his tail and arrived here refreshed, said: "?!"
Amuro Toru: “…”… Wait, let’s put aside the guy who was yelling in public – what is sitting on the table next to him? ?
"Why is Jiang Xia here? Wasn't he at the Beihu City Hotel just now? ... Maybe I saw it wrong."
Looking at the young figure with his back to him, Toru Amuro lowered his head, pressed his eye sockets, rubbed his eyes, and then looked over again expectantly.
Two seconds later, his eyes twitched slightly, and he finally accepted his fate: "..." What happened? Why did Jiang Xia suddenly come here?
"Could it be that the clingy kid who was chasing me said something to him?" Amuro Toru felt a headache and had the urge to spank the kid for the first time in a long time. "I thought Conan had become a drowned chicken and went home obediently... But now that I think about it, I really can't see him anymore."
This was a blessing in disguise - as an employee of the Amuro Detective Agency, Jiang Xia would at least respect him as his boss on the surface. In comparison, the lawless brat was even more of a headache.
No matter what, Amuro Toru didn't dare to delay while Jiang Xia didn't see him and the little devil hadn't shown up yet. He moved lightly and quickened his pace, heading for the nearest employee passage.
The moment he entered the door, Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief silently. At the same time, he turned his head and habitually glanced in the direction that concerned him.
The next moment, he met a pair of familiar eyes.
