Chapter 343 Vermouth, you are such a scumbag, please give me a monthly ticket ()
Jiang Xia was startled, picked up the envelope and looked at it carefully. He saw that the sender's name was "Naito Yoshiko".
"..." Considering the current time, Jiang Xia had a vague guess about the content of the letter.
He opened the envelope and took out a folded card with the title "Invitation to the Memorial Meeting for Sakamaki Akira" written on it.
...it was actually sent.
As a funeral invitation, this letter actually arrived a little late.
However, Jiang Xia knew clearly that his spot was most likely squeezed in by Miss Naito without his permission, so it was normal that he was late.
——After all, although he is already considered a famous detective, he still has little experience. In addition, there are many people in the upper class who dislike detectives. Given Director Sakamaki's status, he should not be on the invitation list under normal circumstances.
Jiang Xia silently thanked the friendly Mrs. Naito in his heart and decided to try harder when helping her catch cats in the future.
…
After confirming the time and place in the invitation letter.
Jiang Xia sent a message to Gin, telling him that he had received an invitation letter and could join the organization's assassination team to kill sharks and pick up ghosts together.
When it got dark, Jiang Xia finished his work, went to a nearby place to get his motorcycle, got on it and went to the doctor's house, intending to have a nutritionally balanced dinner.
…
On the way, the cell phone vibrated and Gin called.
"On the day of the memorial service, you don't need to make too many preparations. Other cadres will take charge of the work." Gin reminded, "You can only be responsible for providing support to the executors without revealing your identity. The key is to observe and learn how the organization handles the situation."
Jiang Xia thought of the unreliable Pisco and agreed for the time being: "...Okay."
"By the way." Gin didn't hang up the phone immediately, "What's going on with Vermouth?"
From Gin's words, Jiang Xia guessed that this model worker had probably already contacted Vermouth and heard about the general situation.
He thought about the possible version of events Vermouth might use, and recounted today's experience exactly as it happened. Of course, he blurred out the part about Kudo Shinichi and focused on the fact that Vermouth seemed to be trying to pull Gin's pigtail.
Gin felt that there was not much conflict between the two sides' statements, so he said "Well done" and hung up the phone.
Jiang Xia fell into deep thought: "..."
Does this "good" mean that he pushed Vermouth back... I don't know whether this can be considered as his success in adding fuel to the fire, or whether Gin just didn't like Vermouth.
…
However, no matter what, since Gin and Toru Amuro already know the current situation, and Vermouth has just suffered a setback, she should not come over to plot against him again during this period of time.
As for what happens next...after she sees Conan who is still full of energy and finishes her little investigation, he probably won't do anything rash.
Jiang Xia didn't worry about it anymore.
He quickly hung up the phone, put away his phone, and continued riding his weathered motorcycle to Dr. Agasa's house.
In the house, Haibara Ai heard a familiar engine sound. She was startled for a moment, then put down the spatula, went behind the kitchen window and looked out.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming and without any strange man in black following him, she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the spoon as if nothing had happened and continued to stir-fry.
…
When it was dark, Conan, who was looking for someone in the city, came back.
He pushed the door open and saw Jiang Xia was actually at home. He was shocked and asked, "Are you okay?!"
"I encountered a little trouble." Jiang Xia drank the porridge slowly, looking contented, "But fortunately, it's over now."
Conan is not as considerate as Haibara Ai, and he doesn't have the idea of "it's okay, so don't ask any more questions". He ran to Jiang Xia curiously and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
“…”
Jiang Xia glanced at him, thought about it, removed a large part of the content, and only sold a guy who could disguise himself: "I met 'Teacher Ogata' in Beihu today. She insisted that I accompany her to the bar. Later I found out that it didn't seem to be the real Teacher Ogata, but someone else..."
He sighed and didn't go into all the details, only picking out a few key points.
As for the rest, it will be left to Conan - Jiang Xia thought with relief, although Conan likes to ask random questions, fortunately as long as he is given a little information, Conan will quietly fill in the rest in his mind by himself, which is very worry-free.
