Chapter 2848-2860 [Mission]
That's right, after a battle of wits and courage, Vodka was ultimately unable to return to work as he wished.
When Vodka tactfully proposed that he wanted to continue to go on missions with Brother Gin, he only received a new task - Gin asked him to keep an eye on Vermouth when he has time because "she has been a little abnormal recently."
"Me? I'm going to keep an eye on that mysterious and ruthless relative?"
After a moment's silence, considering that this was not a mandatory task but just a casual reminder from Brother Gin, Vodka quietly put it aside and decided to do other tasks that Gin had assigned to him before.
"I think I'd better go on a business trip first."
Looking through the mission details, Vodka sighed.
He didn't like business trips before because he was worried that he might accidentally fall into some nasty trap on the way there or back.
In addition, when he was in Tokyo, even if something happened, he could ask his elder brother to help him. But if he went to Osaka, which was so far away, by the time elder brother Gin realized something was wrong, Vodka's body would probably have been on the news and become the achievement of that hateful colleague.
But now…
"Vermouth has been acting abnormal recently? How could she not be abnormal? The matter of Itakura Taku has something to do with her, and since Wu Zo has already targeted Itakura Taku, then he is probably targeting her as well. If I target Vermouth again, wouldn't I be caught between her and Wu Zo, and become a useless person who can be moved wherever needed?"
This is a serious task, so of course it should be delayed as much as possible.
"If I can't provoke you, can I hide from you?"
Thinking of this, Vodka glanced at the ticket to Osaka in his hand, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Let Uzo and Vermouth have fun. As for me, I, Vodka, have a business trip and will not accompany you.
"It just so happens that Ms. Yoko is also having an event there, so I can take advantage of the chaos to catch up with some stars, hehe. It's a great time without Uzo interrupting me, and this time I want to meet my lovely idol properly!"
Soon, the train pulled into the station.
Vodka got into the car carrying his briefcase and in a wonderful mood.
A second later, he turned around and walked out again.
Vodka: “…”
Vodka: “…”
Finding a chance to avoid danger and meeting my idol along the way should have been a double happiness, but now... why is there Uzo in the car!!
Even besides him, all his most professional team were present.
"Could it be that my speculation is wrong, and the one Uzo is targeting is not Belmode, but the innocent me?"
Vodka's pupils trembled slightly, and he instinctively wanted to turn around and leave the station.
However, when I bought the ticket, I had already reported that I was going to Osaka. If I were to ask for leave now, and the reason was simply "Jiang Xia was on the train"...
"No, at this critical time when I am about to return, I can't do such unreasonable things." Vodka took a deep breath and tried to give up this necessary but childish behavior:
"Besides, I don't know what kind of person my temporary partner in Osaka is. If he is stood up by me and thinks I look down on him, he will bear a grudge and find an opportunity to shoot me in the future and then say it was an enemy... wouldn't that mean I'm doomed?"
Thinking about the scene of being surrounded by enemies, Vodka shuddered silently: "I am a mature member of the organization and cannot act recklessly... I'd better take another bus or drive there myself."
…
Soon, the train started and headed towards Osaka.
Jiang Xia suddenly sighed.
Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and looked at him, wondering, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia looked away from the window: "Nothing, I just felt a little bored because there was no one I knew on the bus."
Suzuki Sonoko laughed and took out a deck of cards from somewhere: "Don't worry, I'm prepared!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Conan's speechless face and realized something belatedly.
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
etc.
…Why did she want to play cards with Xiaolan and Jiang Xia? !
…
The train rumbled along all the way and finally arrived in Osaka.
Looking at the station in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief: Finally... the endless losing game is finally over!
Although she could feel that Jiang Xia and Xiao Lan did not kill her and occasionally tried to give in, it was a pity that the final result seemed to be not much different from not giving in.
"I won't bring poker cards on my next trip." Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fists and muttered to herself, "Or I may bring a few more acquaintances, the darker the better, so that I won't be the last one!"
Anyway, although the process was not satisfactory, at least it achieved the purpose of killing time.
After getting off the car, Suzuki Sonoko walked a few steps listlessly, then she became energetic again.
She looked down at her phone and said, "The Hatakeyama family's estate is about 10 kilometers away from here. If we go there now, we should be able to catch the wedding ceremony!"
The three high school students put their luggage at the hotel and took a taxi to their destination.
…
In a manor on the outskirts of the mountain.
The newlyweds stood together happily, whispering something, while beside them, countless staff members were busy working for them.
One of the employees wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted the hat on his head, and quietly looked at the groom not far away - the current head of the Hatakeyama Group, Hatakeyama Yu.
The head of the consortium looks very young, and indeed he is. He is only 28 years old and has just taken office.
Half a year ago, the Hatakeyama Group was still in the hands of Hatakeyama Yuu's father. Later, his father died unexpectedly and the group was handed over to him.
"I really don't want to deal with these ignorant young people..." Calvados confirmed his target and continued to work, thinking to himself, "This makes me want to punch a hole in his head."
The Hatakeyama Group has always cooperated with the organization. However, after the new head took office, he noticed the gray areas of his own group and was determined to eradicate them in one fell swoop.
This thankless task was something that no one in the Hatakeyama Group would do in the past. And although cooperation with the organization was not so legal, it could bring huge profits... However, the groom in front of him was very idealistic and ignored the huge profits. He just wanted to stick to his ideals.
In the words of Calvados, this rich second generation needs a beating from society.
And now, he came to deliver the beatings on behalf of the organization.
——First, give this guy a warning. If that doesn’t work, then help the Hatakeyama family find a new master.
This kind of task is actually not within Calvados's area of expertise.
But considering various factors, he finally volunteered to take it.
