Chapter 332 The Correct Use of Disguise
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia felt that he had just used interjections to answer his boss who was giving out money, ghosts and murderous intent, which was a bit perfunctory.
So he hesitated for a moment, and according to the principle of "answering first, no matter if it's right or not", he listed the news he had heard from Mrs. Naito:
"She is a full-time housewife. Her husband, Naito Yu, used to be an actor. He gradually retired after marriage and is now the chairman of Naito Eiga. They have a son and a daughter. The daughter is still in high school, and the son is working at Naito Eiga..." As he was talking, Jiang Xia suddenly thought of something. But he didn't pause much and continued as before, "Their family has good tempers and they don't have many enemies."
Vodka: “…”
He always felt that there was a hint of regret in Uzo's tone when he said the last sentence. And in Vodka's opinion, this was actually nonsense. After all, if the Naito family had many enemies, as a frequent visitor of Uzo, Naito Yoshiko would definitely be on the news now.
Gin admired her attitude of gathering intelligence wherever she went. He shook off the ashes in the ashtray and added, "Naito Yoshiko's old surname was Sakimaki."
"Wine volume..." Jiang Xia showed an expression as if he had suddenly heard a key point in class. He flipped open the materials next to him and his eyes quickly stopped on one of the pages.
——One of Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi’s next plans is to attend the memorial service for director Sakamaki.
Gin saw Jiang Xia's actions and knew that he understood. He nodded at the speed of this association, and it also showed that although Wu Zuo read the information quickly, it did not reduce the quality of reading. He could remember such a small message immediately:
"Naito Yoshiko is Director Sakamaki's youngest daughter. You are considered a celebrity now, so Naito Yoshiko may send you an invitation to the memorial service. If you receive one, you don't have to avoid it deliberately."
According to Gin's observation, Uzo seemed to like traveling and partying very much, and rarely refused such invitations - perhaps because this allowed him to come into contact with more people and find more interesting targets.
If he deliberately refused this time, it would appear suspicious. In addition, even if Wu Zuo was not allowed to sit in the open, he could use this incident to let him observe the organization's assassination methods in advance, making it easier for him to cooperate with other members in the future.
Of course Jiang Xia did not refuse such a request. Even if Gin didn't say it, he would find a way to sneak into the scene and pick up the ghost of Councillor Tunkou and other murderous auras that might exist.
…
Gin seemed to have other work to do in the afternoon, so after finishing his business, he quickly left with the vodka.
Jiang Xia went downstairs first and bought some good quality tea.
What happened today made him realize that he cannot judge the value of a client based solely on his name and simple experience.
After all, no one knows whether they have a father who is related to the case, nor does anyone know when, where and how they will be connected to which case.
...In short, it is necessary to improve the treatment of customers, and be more friendly and not too perfunctory. Just like this time, he didn't even find out the name of the other person's father, which is really a shame in the spoiler world.
…
After buying things and walking out of the building, I was struggling to decide whether to take the subway or the bus when the ghosts around me suddenly made surprised murmurs.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xia felt a weight on his shoulders and someone put his hands on his shoulders from behind.
He first smelled a scent of apples, and then he saw clearly the person who suddenly hugged him next to him - a woman with wavy brown hair that fell to her waist, regular features, and slightly exaggerated makeup.
Although because she rushed too close, it took Jiang Xia a little time to figure out.
But he quickly recognized it; it was the face of his current English teacher.
Of course, the face may be the teacher's face, but the person may not be.
"..." Jiang Xia glanced at the murderous aura that had just been separated for a short time, pretending not to recognize him, and pushed Vermouth's arm away, hesitantly saying, "Teacher Ogata?"
"It's me." Vermouth made her own voice. She smiled and put the brown hair that had rubbed against Jiang Xia's face behind her. "Let me take you to the bar? Vodka said that you like the atmosphere of the bar better than the sushi restaurant."
...Is there such gossip about vodka?
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and quickly put this unimportant question behind him.
He looked at the ghosts who were happily rushing towards Vermouth, and then looked at Vermouth's murderous aura that was comparable to Gin's, and he wanted to skip all the steps and just say "Okay, let's go".
...But considering Vermouth's attitude towards him just now, he could only suppress the desire to nod and looked at Vermouth with a little coldness.
Then not so nicely said: "You checked me."
He was referring to the teacher version of the disguise on Vermouth's face.
This was actually just making small talk, after all, Jiang Xia knew in his heart that the reason Vermouth knew what his teacher looked like was probably not because of him, but because of Kudo Shinichi's disappearance, and she had been to Teitan High School.
And Vermouth obviously wanted Jiang Xia to misunderstand that Uzo was in the same class as her cool guy and Angel. This would not only effectively conceal her true purpose of going to Teitan High School, but also allow her to use this familiar face of Uzo as a starting point for the topic, and then abduct the person and achieve her goal.
…
Seeing that this did indeed lead to Jiang Xia's topic, Vermouth loosened her hand on his shoulder and said in a more serious tone: "Gin thinks you need a psychiatrist - that's me. But to be honest, I hate Shirley, and it's hard for me to like you, so I just came to talk to you today. I will first confirm your actual situation and then recommend a more suitable doctor... This will take some time, why don't you sit down, order a glass of wine, and talk slowly."
Of course, this was just an excuse made by Vermouth. She just needed a legitimate reason to kidnap someone.
According to Vodka, Uzo is a thrill-seeker by nature, and sometimes he would even put his own safety at the back of his mind for the sake of an interesting case.
Therefore, whether the previous conversation could really convince him or Wu Zuo found a loophole in her words, he might follow her out of curiosity or other reasons.
And once they got to the dimly lit Hegson Bar, she would ask Uzo what she wanted to know, either with alcohol or drugs, and then... well, then, depending on the situation, she would consider whether it was necessary to silence him.
Under Vermouth's gaze, Jiang Xia looked at her silently for a while.
When he felt it was almost stretched, he nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Vermouth smiled, thinking that she was lucky and the plan was going well.
She and Jiang Xia walked towards the elevator side by side. At the same time, she held Jiang Xia's arm with one hand and raised the other hand, quickly wiping his face twice.
