Chapter 3180 3192 [Not surrender, but cooperation] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
Curacao: “…” Rum, that bastard, to what extent will he torture his old subordinates in order to attract new subordinates!
For a moment, she wanted to kick Rum over, then step on him hard to empty the magazine... However, after just a few seconds of thinking about it, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
—She looked up and, as expected, Uzo was looking at her with an indescribable amusement.
...The confidant of the second-in-command of the organization stabbed his boss in the back. This drama must be something he would be happy to see.
Don't take the bait!
Thinking of this, Curacao took a deep breath, tried hard to erase the bad thoughts about that bastard boss, and tried to break away the puppet strings that were stuck to him.
She sorted herself out and looked at Jiang Xia again. She neither admitted nor denied it, but answered the question from the unscrupulous director in a businesslike manner: "This is confidential."
But in fact, Curacao knew in his heart that what Uzo said was right, and he was indeed coming for the golden screen.
——Of course, the purpose was not the screen itself, but a string of codes that the repairman quietly embroidered on the back of the golden screen when it was sent for repair by the mayor a few years ago.
The whole family of the well-known repairman had died in an "accidental fire". However, when their only remaining "distant relative" went to deal with the aftermath, he couldn't find what he was looking for.
Later, after many screenings by the organization, they finally suspected that the screen was the real culprit. However, after bribing the mayor's servants and confirming the situation, before they could do anything, the golden screen was snatched away by a group of gangsters who suddenly appeared.
Now, several years later, there were finally clues related to the screen, so Rum immediately sent people over.
Curacao, the worker who was sent here: "..." And judging from the current situation, whether it is "finding the screen" or "killing the kidnappers who have touched the screen"... these tasks seem to be completed in a muddle again.
Her mind was briefly in a state of confusion. At this moment, the devilish and seductive voice sounded again, whispering: "I know where the screen is, do you want it? - This is the last chance to touch it."
Curacao couldn't help but clench his fists: "..." Why do you say it as if you gave me many opportunities to touch the screen? - This is clearly a sudden attack without any signs!
Her neck moved slightly, and her first reaction was to shake her head vigorously, rejecting this piece of pie that fell from the devil's hands.
However, as a rational adult, she knew very well in her heart: Rum was not an easy boss to talk to, and Uzo was not a close friend who would keep her secrets.
"If I shake my head and refuse now, and then I really lose the chance to touch the screen, and the code falls into the hands of the police or other troublemakers, and then Rum finds out about this..."
An organizational cadre was torn between his own conscience and his own desires.
After more than ten seconds, Curacao finally took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly, like an unlucky passerby signing a contract with the devil.
…
“Found it!”
“It actually exists!”
In the kitchen.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko rummaged through all the drawers of cabinets, big and small, and finally, their eyes lit up and they took out a bag of senbei and a bag of candy from the corner.
“The expiration date… has long passed.”
After seeing the small words clearly, Mao Lilan's surprise disappeared and she sighed in disappointment: "Why not stay hungry for a while and wait for rescue? Otherwise, if you get an upset stomach after eating these, things will be even more troublesome."
"That's right." Suzuki Sonoko stared at the snack bag in her hand. She had never thought that these ordinary snacks were so tempting. She spent a lot of effort to put down the two bags:
"Anyway, I just had fish and coconut tonight. Although there is no staple food, it can at least fill my stomach... If rescue doesn't come by noon, I will go to the beach with Jiang Xia to pick up some fish - I never realized that I have such a talent for catching fish!"
Mao Lilan thought of the fish she had for dinner and said with some emotion: "I never thought you could catch such a big fish so quickly."
Suzuki Sonoko raised her chin proudly and was about to say something, but her expression suddenly changed: "I seem to... hear someone walking this way!"
Mao Lilan: “!!”
She also quickly stopped talking and pricked up her ears. When she listened carefully, she heard the sound of "tick-tick" of water in addition to the heavy footsteps approaching in the corridor outside.
——It was as if there was a person, soaking wet, walking towards this room step by step.
The two high school girls looked at each other and shuddered at the same time, remembering the Okinawan legend they had heard not long ago: at night, when women were weaving at home, creatures from the underworld would crawl out of the sea and suck away their souls.
Could it be, could it be true...
…
With a creak, the kitchen door was pushed open.
Jiang Xia lowered his head and saw two female classmates who were so scared that they fell to the ground, each holding a knife in their mouths.
Next to him, the wet Hattori Heiji also saw this scene. The Osaka detective looked puzzled: "What are you two doing with knives in your mouths? Picking your teeth?"
"You were picking your teeth!" Suzuki Sonoko took off the knife and stood up in anger and surprise. "It turned out to be you! Xiaolan and I thought it was a water ghost. Didn't the deputy captain say that the way local women guard against water ghosts is to hold a knife in their mouths so that their souls won't be sucked away?"
"..." Hattori Heiji was speechless, "You two actually believe in ghosts. Are you really high school students? Just go back to elementary school."
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan and Jiang Xia both looked at him.
Hattori Heiji suddenly felt a chill on his back. He was stunned for a moment, then felt that he understood, so he lifted up his trouser leg and twisted it hard.
With a splash, a small stream of water dripped onto the ground.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at him in confusion: "Come to think of it, why are you covered in water? Did you fall into the sea just now?"
Hattori Heiji: "When we went to the boat before, the place where we put our luggage was empty - I suspected that the murderer threw all the backpacks into the sea, so I went to the reef to check if there were any backpacks caught on the rocks, but unfortunately there were none."
As he was speaking, he suddenly discovered something. He looked towards Suzuki Sonoko and saw a fallen round stool. The legs of the stool were facing them, and the bottom was illuminated by the light. Upon closer inspection, he saw several pseudonyms "kachan" written on it.
"So it's here!" The two detectives' eyes lit up as if they had discovered a treasure. Conan suddenly remembered something and rushed to another stool next to him. He turned it over and saw that the name written below was indeed the other person who had accompanied Miss Xiaodu to draw the height line - Choni.
