Chapter 3413 3425 [Gin's keen sense of smell]
late at night.
After a busy day, Vodka had a box lunch and prepared to continue his busy night life.
Just then, his cell phone vibrated and he received a call.
"Brother?" After seeing the contact person clearly, Vodka was overjoyed: Could it be that after acting alone for a period of time, Brother Gin finally realized the importance of him as a helper and was ready to call him back?
A diligent cadre quickly straightened his clothes and answered the phone solemnly.
Then an emotionless voice came from inside: "The day after tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock, you will go to the port to board the ship. I have sent the specific location to your email."
"Board the ship?" Vodka quickly flipped open his notebook and opened his mailbox. He looked puzzled at the contents. "Halloween event? This... does it mean I need to board the ship to trade?"
The sound of a lighter clicking came from Gin's side.
After a pause, the officer's voice continued, "I received news that Vermouth will also be on that ship. She has been acting strangely lately, and the higher-ups have asked us to investigate."
Vodka: "..." Vermouth's abnormality? Indeed, that woman's inexplicable escape from New York to Tokyo was full of conspiracy no matter how you looked at it.
Vodka didn't mind investigating her. What he cared about was... the source of this "abnormality." Could it be something else that Vermouth had provoked?
For a moment, Vodka wanted to hang up the phone, roll down the window, throw the phone into Tokyo Bay, and pretend that he hadn't heard anything...
But in the end, reason made him take a deep breath, grit his teeth and said, "I understand. If she really has an abnormality..."
"Then teach her a lesson." Gin's voice was icy, clearly harboring a long-standing grudge against this disobedient mystic. "If she dares to behave strangely, I won't let her go, even if that master treats her differently."
Vodka swallowed hard: "..."Brother, isn't it a bit strange to entrust such an important task to me?——You are also someone that the master values. It doesn't matter if you two fight, but me! I don't have such a strong backbone!
"Calm down!" Vodka took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Vermouth knows Gin's temper very well. Since she's in Tokyo now, she should be more or less sensible.
"Besides, Big Brother only said to teach her a lesson, and didn't say to kill her. So if I curse her behind her back, it should be considered a lesson. As long as I keep it within the right limits and be careful, it shouldn't be a big problem."
After quickly comforting himself, Vodka gritted his teeth and nodded, agreeing as before: "Okay, big brother!"
Gin hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Vodka: “…￥%#^*”
…
After ending the call, Gin did not just leave it alone as Vodka had expected.
He recalled the email he had received and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he chuckled softly, "That's too deliberate."
It wasn't the first time that Vermouth had done something inexplicable. But this time, she had received a very clear message, even the time and place were clear.
The news came so easily that it inevitably made people feel that there was something else behind it. So, what exactly did that woman want to do on that ship?
After thinking about it, Gin adjusted his tight schedule and cleared out that evening.
——Vodka, by himself, certainly couldn't handle those underlying conspiracies. But this guy could serve as a suitable screen to hide his own prying eyes from afar.
"She'd better behave herself." Gin wiped the gun that had been with him for many years. The cold barrel of the gun reflected his equally cold eyes. "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting her taste the water of Tokyo Bay."
…
Day 2.
Unlike the organizational cadres who had frowns on their brows and couldn't sleep at all.
Suzuki Sonoko had a good sleep. She got up at noon, flipped through some fashion magazines for a while, then dressed up and went to Jiang Xia's house, knocking on the door in high spirits.
——When she called yesterday, Suzuki Sonoko volunteered to be the Halloween appearance manager. They agreed to go out together to buy costumes today to prepare for the Halloween event tomorrow night.
"It's a rare Halloween, and it's a rare opportunity to dress up as Jiang Xia... Although it's limited to a ghost theme, this kind of opportunity must not be missed!"
Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fists and looked at the neat and clean yard of Jiangxia's house. She felt as if she was on fire.
…
A few walls apart, in the bedroom.
Jiang Xia sat in the large wardrobe, looked down at his mini arsenal in the secret compartment, and suddenly sighed.
Among the neatly stacked weapons, there was now an extra space - there was one less gun than before.
"Forget it, out goes the old, in comes the new." He shook his head and closed the layers of secret doors one by one. "I can't just leave it here unused. There are too many guns to put away, and I already have more than one pistol anyway."
He quickly left the closet, changed into some clothes, and walked out the door.
…
Seeing that Jiang Xia had finally been persuaded, Suzuki Sonoko said happily, "I have a friend who is very good at special effects makeup, and she has a lot of interesting props. She's having a makeup party tonight, so let's go find some stuff from her so that you can become the brightest star of the whole party tomorrow!"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment: "It doesn't have to be so shiny..."
"Let's go, let's go!" Suzuki Sonoko pulled people and went out happily.
Although her family has more than one driver and more than one luxury car, when she goes out with her classmates, Suzuki Sonoko prefers to take various public transportation like an ordinary high school student.
On the way, Suzuki Sonoko remembered something and the joyful atmosphere around her paused slightly.
Glancing around furtively, she whispered, "Xiaolan has been acting a little strange lately, always worried—is there something going on that I'm not aware of?"
Jiang Xia glanced at her and said casually, "Maybe Teacher Judy is about to step down, and she's reluctant to let her go."
"So that's it!" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized that this made sense considering Xiaolan's personality.
…
Two high school students were riding in a car on their way to a party.
At the entrance to the shrine near the party.
Conan played with the three children from the Junior Detective League for a while, then got to the point: "I have some urgent matters to attend. I may not be able to go to the tennis match tomorrow."
"What?!" Yoshida Ayumi was shocked, "What about the competition?"
Conan smiled and said, "With the three of you here, winning the championship shouldn't be a problem."
"That's true." Kojima Genta was convinced. "You were always absent during training before. Even when you were there, something would suddenly happen around you, and then we couldn't train..."
