Chapter 3070 3082 [Organizational Logistics] Request for monthly ticket ()
afternoon.
Just across the street.
After being dragged by Jiang Xia to look at information for most of the day, the mini detective, who had overworked his brain, yawned and returned to the Maori Detective Agency.
He took a quick look and found that there was no one in the living room. Conan was startled at first, then he remembered: Xiaolan seemed to have a cold and fever today, and she had been resting upstairs.
He then left the detective agency on the second floor and continued up the stairs, ready to visit the poor patient.
…
"Why did you catch a cold all of a sudden?"
In the bedroom upstairs, another visitor sat by the bed and reached out to touch Mao Lilan's forehead.
After checking her classmate's temperature, Suzuki Sonoko nodded with satisfaction: "The fever seems to have subsided a little. This illness is really strange, it came so suddenly - could it be that when we were wandering around Fukito Villa, we were cursed by the ghosts who died there unjustly?"
"..." Mao Lilan shuddered and silently put on a coat. At the same time, she said firmly, "Jiang Xia said that there are no ghosts in the world. I must have just been cold. This time when we went out, we were always trapped in the ice and snow. Although there was a house to keep out the cold, it is normal to catch a cold after so many times in a row... That's right, that's it! It's definitely not because a ghost is targeting me!"
"Haha, you're more energetic when it comes to ghosts." Suzuki Sonoko patted the classmate who was afraid of ghosts, and pushed her back to the bed by pressing her shoulders. "Okay, you should have a good rest. I won't cause any trouble for you."
"Wait!" Mao Lilan had already recalled some bad memories. Thinking of the various corpses she had encountered along the way, especially the frozen male corpse that stood stiffly at the door and kept ringing the doorbell, she couldn't help but grab the classmate who ran away after scaring people, "I'm a little scared to be alone, and... and do you feel like someone is spying on me?"
"Spying on you?" Suzuki Sonoko was startled at first, then she rolled up her sleeves angrily and walked to the window, "Who is this blind stalker again? Point him out to me, and Jiang Xia and I will put a sack on him and beat him up!"
——Jiang Xia was responsible for the trap and the baton, and she was responsible for taking advantage of the chaos to kick a few times.
"It's not this kind of peeping!" Mao Lilan shook her head. "I mean, am I really being watched by a ghost? - I can feel it, right at the door of my room, there must be something bad hidden there!"
Conan, who was lying at the door and eavesdropping curiously, said: "..."
The bored cat wandered to the Maori Detective Agency with Conan, and helped the psychic master to see if there were any cases being solved here: "... Meow?"
Conan looked down in silence, the man and the cat looked at each other, and were about to turn around and slip away. However, at this moment, with a click, the bedroom door was opened by Suzuki Sonoko, who was not afraid of ghosts and had super mobility.
"You little brat, you were eavesdropping?" Suzuki Sonoko knocked Conan hard, then picked up the cat on the ground, "And you've also led Hei astray!"
"..." Conan covered the bump on his head: Damn it, how dare they treat me differently! - To put it another way, couldn't it be that the cat led me astray?
Suzuki Sonoko ignored the pseudo-elementary school student who dared to be angry but not to speak. She carried the cat back to the bed and showed her freshly caught trophy to her classmates: "Look! Jiang Xia is right. There are really no ghosts in this world. It's just a kitten that came to visit you - just relax and have a good rest."
"..." The hungry cat shook its tail guiltily.
…
A high school girl's mood swings.
In front of an apartment in Tokyo.
Calvados looked at the dilapidated old building, then at the several suspicious residents who had just passed by, and couldn't help but twitching his eyes.
He picked up his phone and called the logistics person he was familiar with: "Is this the safe house you found for me? - I wouldn't be surprised if this damn place was forcibly demolished as an illegal building the next day."
The logistics officer sighed and said, "Don't judge a house by its cover. The landlord of this apartment is old and is too lazy to renovate it, so it looks rather shabby on the outside - but in fact, it is made of solid materials and is much more solid than many buildings that are only beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside."
He said this, but in his heart, he was thinking about something else——
One day ago.
In a base disguised as a small company.
"Calvados is pushing again. What's going on? It's just a safe house. What took you so long?"
Facing the team leader's questioning, the logistics officer looked helpless: "There are plenty of rooms, but if we give him another one, I'm afraid he won't be able to last for a few days. Haven't you heard that the applicant is suspected of being targeted by that...that cadre?"
“…”
The team leader paused for two seconds, and when he spoke again, his tone was a little weak: "But he is a cadre with a code name after all. We can't refuse to assign him a safe house without giving any reason..."
Another logistics worker wearing thick glasses raised his hand and whispered, "How about trying the plan we discussed before and choosing a room for him according to the new standards?"
Those who can serve in an organization for a long time are not simple. The proposer obviously had this idea in mind. While speaking, he had already clicked on the document and pointed to the house information spread out on the screen.
——The information of the homeowner, the tenant, the house, and the surrounding environment...all kinds of information are instantly presented to everyone.
"This... looks good?"
The team leader read it carefully, stroked his chin and began to think.
——It is not easy to build a safe house. It is a waste to destroy one every few days, not to mention the risk of exposing the organization's intelligence to the police.
And from a practical point of view, the existing houses they had seemed unlikely to protect Calvados from that particular danger.
In this case, they might as well find a room outside according to their newly-thought-out standards - on the one hand, this would help the cadre solve his urgent problem and find a place to live, and on the other hand, it would help them observe whether this response was effective.
…
While recalling what was discussed at the meeting, the logistics staff held his phone and said to Calvados earnestly: "The security in Tokyo has been bad recently, and our people are inevitably involved in various cases - just like you. The safe house you lived in caught fire a few days ago, and there must have been firefighters entering the house to search.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are many similar situations. So we keep up with the changes and select a batch of new safe houses.
“This batch of houses has completely different standards than previous ones, but they are more practical.
“For example, the apartment building in front of you has tenants who move frequently and the landlord is old and has poor eyesight, so no neighbor will notice anything unusual about you.
"Similarly, because there are so many weirdos living there, even if there's a case nearby, the cops will go after them first, not you.
