Chapter 2831-2843 [The transaction between Gin and Itakura Taku]
"but……"
Vodka looked at the rows of lockers in the storage room, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "I always feel like something is wrong."
Thinking of this, he shone the flashlight over there, intending to check for hidden dangers.
As a result, when I took the photo, I really found something unusual.
"!" Vodka looked over and saw a check for a large amount of money stuck in the gap of the iron cabinet door "No. 0032".
He walked over and looked at the scene warily - iron cabinet No. 0032 was the detailed transaction location he and Itakura Taku had agreed on before. Could it be that this check was put here by Itakura Taku?
"Is there a fishing line attached to the back of this thing? It will explode if you pull it."
Staring at the check left and right, Vodka reached out and carefully took it out with the cautious movement of defusing a bomb.
Fortunately, I didn't feel any unusual pulling force during the process - it was indeed just an ordinary check stuck in the crack of the door.
"I hope the check wasn't coated with poison. I'll have to remember to change my gloves when I get back."
As he thought about it, Vodka held up the check and looked at it over and over again.
"It's a real check. And it looks familiar?" Vodka soon understood and muttered to himself, "Judging from the amount, this should be the deposit that the organization paid to Itakura Taku. Why did this guy return the deposit? Was he scared by Tequila and Vermouth and dared not ask for the money?"
Given Itakura Taku's personality, it is reasonable for him to do such a thing.
It was a good thing to help the organization save some money. Vodka put away the check in a good mood and looked at the cabinet again.
——The fact that the check was clipped here means that Itakura Taku has indeed come. Then the software we agreed to trade...
Vodka's eyes fell on the locker again. He opened the locker door with the caution of defusing a bomb.
With a creak, the cabinet door slid open, revealing a box of CDs lying quietly inside.
"Could it be that this guy guessed that we wanted to silence him, so he doesn't dare to come out to trade face to face?" Vodka clicked his tongue and reached out to take the CD, only to find that there were four pieces of tape around the CD, firmly fixing it there.
His thick gloves couldn't reach the edge of the tape, and he tried twice to remove the CD without success.
Vodka had no choice but to take off his gloves and use his fingernails to pick at the end of the tape, and finally he lifted it off the cabinet.
Behind the lockers.
Conan listened to the rustling noise and raised the corners of his mouth silently.
"Fortunately, I already knew what kind of person Vodka was, and I guessed that he would definitely come wearing gloves." Conan pushed his glasses, feeling excited:
"It's very difficult to remove the tape while wearing gloves, and in order to get the important CD, the trader has to take off his gloves and touch the tape with his fingers.
"That means, if everything goes well, after Vodka leaves, I can remove the tape and get his fingerprints!"
…
Opposite the cabinet.
While tearing off the tape, Vodka picked up the intercom and told the peripheral members around him: "Itakura Taku is here, keep an eye on the surroundings and don't let him slip away."
"Itakura Taku has been here?" The subordinate on the other end of the intercom asked in surprise, "But we have been guarding here for more than three hours and didn't see him enter the station at all."
Vodka: “?”
...Itakura Taku is not here, so who put the check and CD here?
Just as he was thinking, his skin felt cold and something cold and hard pressed against the back of his head.
It's a gun!!
Is Itakura Taku so successful that he can get a gun?!
Vodka's heart almost jumped out of his throat, but just when he regretted that his suicide note was not long enough, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Gin snorted, "What are you dawdling about."
Vodka: “…”
Vodka was excited: "Big Brother!!" - It turned out that it was not the gunman, but his long-lost brother Gin! !
In an instant, the words "I want to go back to your side and be your assistant right now!" came to my lips, but were swallowed down by Vodka's rationality.
...After experiencing enough pain of acting alone, I realized how precious those days were when I had Brother Gin to back me up.
He must behave like a proper member of the organization, improve the impression of his big brother, and get back his assistant position as soon as possible!
He was raising his hands and thinking in his mind, when Gin asked coldly from behind: "Isn't the trading time tomorrow at 12 o'clock? Why did you suddenly change it to now?"
Although work has become a lot busier without vodka, Gin is actually in a pretty good mood these days.
The reason is simple: it was the report not long ago - a "helpful passerby" Shuichi Akai kindly gave the president, whose car broke down, a ride home, but he "accidentally" fell into the trap of the murderer, and the car exploded and fell off a cliff. Even the body has not been found until now.
Gin, who rarely had time to slowly browse the news, also moved his fingers this time and saved the detailed description of the vehicle being tampered with. While sitting in the car drinking coffee late at night, he read this pleasant reading again and again, and regretted that he could not go to the scene in person and take a shot.
Unfortunately, the only drawback is...
"No one saw the body, which means that the troublesome guy must still be alive. Oh, it's good that he's alive. He was actually 'inadvertently' misled by an elementary school student. This is such a shameful thing that we should help him frame it and publicize it."
But no matter how happy he was, Gin would never let his guard down. On the contrary, countless unlucky experiences had made him believe that happiness would lead to sorrow - especially at such times, he should be more alert to possible changes around him.
Therefore, when Gin heard that Vodka had changed the time of the transaction with Itakura Taku, he immediately paid attention to this.
He flipped through the files left by Tequila, and looked at the latest news, and suddenly realized something - has Uzo appeared in the hotel more frequently than usual recently?
When Itakura Taku was hiding from people, he liked to move to a hotel. The hotel he liked was of a similar standard to the one Wu Zuo had been visiting recently.
After thinking about it, Gin always felt that there was something fishy going on.
Although he didn't want to be disturbed by someone, this software was very important to the organization. Without hesitating for too long, Gin decided to come here in person to avoid any chaos.
And now, although we don’t know whether the incident is related to Uzo...but judging from Vodka’s movements, some unexpected situations have indeed occurred.
In front of the locker next to him, Vodka heard Gin's question and turned around quickly to explain in detail: "Itakura Taku said that his heart condition has worsened and he has an appointment for surgery. He wants to postpone tomorrow's transaction to a month later. So I simply asked him to move it forward a day - this way, he won't have time to play tricks in a hurry."
Gin: “…” Idiot, Itakura Taku doesn’t have time to play tricks, what about others?
