Chapter 344 Is Akai Shuichi useful?
After dinner, Jiang Xia helped Huihara Ai take the dishes back to the kitchen.
Huiyuan Ai quickly glanced back at the living room and found Conan and the doctor holding the skateboard and running to the laboratory to debug.
She then took the opportunity to ask Jiang Xia softly, "Is it over?"
...Although Jiang Xia didn't say too many details just now, the more Haibara Ai listened, the more she felt that that "Teacher Ogata" was particularly like Vermouth.
Jiang Xia turned on the faucet, thought for a moment, and told her amid the sound of running water: "It's just the beginning."
Huihara Ai's expression changed slightly.
Miyano Akemi floated over, lay on top of her sister and touched her head, then she sighed a little with heartache, thinking that living people have so many worries.
"Don't be too nervous, everything will be fine in a few days." Jiang Xia felt that after Pisker, the person who had seen Haibara Ai's childhood appearance, was silenced by Gin, Haibara Ai would be able to go out for some fresh air.
As for Vermouth... In the afternoon, before Jiang Xia came back, he went to the school and found out some information.
——Teacher Ogata recently won the lottery and suddenly became rich. He plans to quit his job and go to the United States for further studies. Teitan Junior High School received several resumes for English teachers, including an American named "Judy" who wanted to come as a foreign teacher.
If I remember correctly, Judy was one of the FBI members who followed Vermouth to the island country.
As long as Judy is given some news about Vermouth in the future, the two sides can be balanced so that Vermouth can't devote too much energy to causing trouble.
When Huibara Ai heard Jiang Xia say this, she nodded, and the fear in her eyes dissipated a little.
I don't know why, but Jiang Xia is always very reliable in terms of intelligence, and he always seems to be able to get some inside information. What is he doing now...
Huiyuan Ai shook her head, not daring to think about it any more. Since Jiang Xia said that he was just a peripheral member now, it would be better to follow his wishes and not deliberately dig into anything.
In short, Jiang Xia said not to be nervous, so as long as I stay at home for a few more days, there shouldn't be too many problems.
This is actually not bad, she can skip school with a clear conscience - although the children are lively and cute, Haibara Ai feels a little tired being overwhelmed by a whole class of children every day, so it's a good opportunity for her to stay at home and take a rest during this time.
Haibara Ai quickly found an excuse to skip school. She took the dishes from Jiang Xia's hand and started washing them.
…
While waiting for the memorial service to begin, Jiang Xia was a little worried that if a commission from out of town came at this time, should he ignore Gin's request to "stay in Tokyo recently" and sneak out to pick up ghosts, or stay in Tokyo and wait patiently to open the box of Pisco.
However, it turned out that he was overthinking it.
For such a long time, Jiang Xia had never encountered a murder case in Tokyo, let alone a letter of commission from other places.
Kaito Kidd's activities were a little more frequent, and he sent out two notices. Jiang Xia went out in the middle of the night with a vest and picked up two energy cores, finally getting something.
The day before the memorial service, Jiang Xia received an email from Gin.
He went out and sat in a familiar sushi restaurant, where he heard from Gin about the plan for the assassination that day.
The plan was actually quite simple - there was a segment at Director Sakamaki's banquet where a slide show was played.
At that time, the lights in the hall will be turned off, and the area away from the slide projector will be dark. At that time, as long as the threat of assassination is made, Senator Tunkou will stand under the chandelier, and Pisk will use a gun equipped with a scientific silencer to break the fluorescent paint chandelier chain, and Senator Tunkou will be hit on the head by the falling chandelier and die in an "accident".
Even if the police had suspicions, they would be constrained at every turn in the banquet filled with celebrities, and would have difficulty investigating, and ultimately would have to close the case as an "accident."
Of course, in order to achieve this goal as smoothly as possible, Gin spent more time on "reminding Uzo not to hunt innocent lambs at the banquet without permission" rather than "informing Uzo of the assassination process and letting him assist Pisco without exposing himself."
——If another person is suddenly killed at the banquet, the police will undoubtedly stay at the venue longer and conduct more thorough inspections on the scene.
Once the police find any suspicious points in the death of the congressman, they can more legitimately detain the guests who attended the banquet and find the murderer of Congressman Tunkou...that would be troublesome.
…
Jiang Xia actually had no idea about the frequency of crimes in this world, so he agreed to Gin's request without much confidence.
If an accident really happens by then...then we can only insist that it is a simple accident and has nothing to do with Uzo.
During the conversation, Jiang Xia did not see Pisco, who was in charge of the action. Perhaps Gin deliberately avoided the time for the two to meet.
Jiang Xia was a little disappointed that he didn't get to see this blind box in advance.
Fortunately, the day of the memorial service is approaching.
…
In the evening of the memorial service, Jiang Xia changed into a black formal suit and came to the Beihu City Hotel mentioned in the invitation letter.
He showed his invitation letter and registered his name at the entrance of the banquet hall, and received a souvenir before entering the banquet hall.
It was a book with good quality paper, which contained director Sakamaki's life and representative works. In addition, the registration staff also placed a folded purple handkerchief on the book. The handkerchief was made of fine material and had delicate patterns. The words "Remembrance Meeting for Director Sakamaki" were embroidered on the upper left corner.
Purple……
Jiang Xia put away the souvenirs and walked into the banquet hall. He glanced at the commemorative handkerchiefs that others had received and found that they were all one of the seven colors of the rainbow - this was to correspond to director Sakamaki's masterpiece "Rainbow Handkerchief".
Among them, purple handkerchiefs are relatively less common.
Jiang Xia flipped through the spoiler library in his mind and remembered that the organizer planned to arrange for guests holding handkerchiefs of specific colors to give speeches at the end of the banquet to express their gratitude for attending the memorial service.
In the original plot, Pisco and Vermouth, who attended the banquet, both received purple handkerchiefs... Is it 100% possible that members of the organization will be given purple handkerchiefs?
Jiang Xia put away his handkerchief and looked around the banquet hall.
There was still some time before the memorial service was to begin, but Piske had already arrived early and was standing in a less conspicuous place, looking up at the chandelier to consolidate his presence.
But Vermouth did not show up.
Jiang Xia looked at the ghosts around him and found that they were all staring at Pisk, who was full of murderous intent.
They immediately realized that Vermouth had not come, had not disguised herself, and was not nearby at all - although the murderous aura on Pisk was strong, it was only slightly higher in quality than ordinary murderous aura. If there was a high-level murderous aura like Vermouth's lingering around, the ghosts would not have reacted like this.
...This is somewhat different from the situation in the plot line.
Jiang Xia twirled his chin, wondering if Vermouth could have sneaked into the Doctor's house to steal the tower.
After hesitating for a moment, he sent an email to Vermouth, asking in a roundabout way.
Although the last time we parted, the situation was not very pleasant, but there is no harm in asking. The worst that can happen is that I will be blacklisted.
After sending the message, Jiang Xia was prepared to not receive a reply.
Unexpectedly, just when I put away my phone and was about to find someone to exchange business cards, my phone suddenly vibrated.
Jiang Xia was startled for a moment before he took out his phone again, turned on the screen, and saw a reply from Vermouth:
[Want me to come over?
Lie back and beg me, I will consider it~
[picture]]
Jiang Xia looked at the attachment, the soft hotel double bed where he had slept for a while: "..."
A second later, his fingers tapped the keys quickly.
Drag the email into the trash.
Crush it by the way.
After finishing the operation, Jiang Xia calmly walked to the long table and picked up a glass of freshly squeezed grape juice.
I had just taken a sip when my phone vibrated again.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a message from Vermouth.
This time the tone was more serious:
[Didn’t I say this in the car before? The FBI has been following my identity when I’m out at work. If I attend the banquet with that identity now, it will only attract a bunch of annoying hyenas.]
Jiang Xia paused slightly.
This seemed to be different from what he remembered. Was the FBI chasing Vermouth so closely?
Is it because now that Uzo is backing up, Vermouth is looking for an excuse to slack off? Or is the situation really getting more serious? If it's the latter... could it be that his unexpected action inadvertently led to the current result?
Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.
Although he did intend to inform the FBI and sell Vermouth a little bit, in order to prevent any problems in picking up Pisco, he has not taken any actual action yet...
Come to think of it, the day I first met Vermouth, she did mention the FBI.
Jiang Xia also heard it at the time, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious that Belmode could no longer use the identity of Chrissie Wynyard to swagger around. What went wrong?
After thinking about it, I don’t have a clear idea for the time being.
Jiang Xia immediately stopped paying attention to this matter.
——What does the feud between the FBI and Vermouth have to do with him? He is just a high school detective who always has the bad luck of encountering murder cases.
And the FBI has little influence on him.
From a negative perspective, this group of people cannot legally arrest people in the island country. To prevent being deported, they can only avoid conflicts with the police and escape at the right time, just like other criminals.
Even in the worst case scenario, Uzo's vest was revealed in front of the FBI. Once the FBI wanted to take any action, Jiang Xia just had to call the police.
To take a step back, if the FBI, led by that hacker Shuichi Akai, successfully surrounded the main body, Jiang Xia could also use the puppet to sneak out and call the police, launching a counter-encirclement... Local tyrants are so happy.
What's more, in fact, unless the FBI has a large number of ghosts and murderous aura, the real body will never be so easy to catch.
Puppet clay is a metaphysical weapon. Even without relying on the power of the police, everything will be fine as long as Shuichi Akai doesn't secretly snipe him with a tranquilizer gun from hundreds of meters away.
If Akai Shuichi is really so shameless and his real body is unfortunately hit by a bullet, Jiang Xia can also use a puppet to leisurely pick up the real body first.
On the other hand, from a positive perspective, this group of FBI rarely kills people.
Although Jiang Xia had not met them yet, he could guess that they were most likely a group of poor people who had neither murderous intent nor ghosts, and their ability to attract murders was worrying.
- For example, the ace Shuichi Akai, his attraction to murder cases is not even as strong as Judy's... Wait, speaking of this, I wonder if taking Shuichi Akai to show Amuro Toru a few times can help the boss develop a new function to mass-produce murderous aura.
At present, the murderous aura on Toru Amuro is too rare. Even if it appears occasionally, it will dissipate quickly, so fast that Jiang Xia can hardly capture it.
But ghosts are much more sensitive to murderous aura, and judging from the reactions of the previous ghosts to Amuro Toru's murderous aura, as well as the way the mermaid stared at him greedily every time she saw him later, the boss's murderous aura should be of very good quality.
...I hope Akai Shuichi is useful.
In addition, following this line of thought, putting Akai Shuichi within Gin's visual range should have the same strange effect...
Jiang Xia imagined a bright future and couldn't help but look forward to meeting Akai Shuichi in the future.
When I came to my senses, I saw another email on my phone.
It still belongs to Vermouth.
She didn’t post all of them at once, but rather posted them as she thought of them:
[I heard that this is your first time watching the assassination of such a big shot. Don't take this kind of thing too seriously, just watch the show. If something goes wrong, don't expose yourself. We implement a personal responsibility system, whoever makes a mistake will take the responsibility~ You are not the main executor today, even if something unexpected happens in the middle, as long as you don't let the situation get worse, the blame will not fall on you]
“…”
Vermouth is unexpectedly friendly.
To be honest, when Jiang Xia received the first prank-like reply just now, he firmly believed that even if he really ran over and lay down, if his parents hadn't hugged his legs, Vermouth would only say something like "I only said I would consider it, but you have to come if I didn't agree," and would block him with a triumphant smile.
I didn't expect her to explain the reason and even offered some paddling instructions... Could it be that I didn't kill her when I left the hotel last time, which improved my favorability towards her?
In addition, "Uzo" had long since left Vermouth and regained his freedom, but Kudo Shinichi was not dead - this is probably one of the reasons why Vermouth's attitude became friendly.
Of course, the greater contributors must be the ghosts of the parents. How old is Vermouth? The influence of the aura on her is so strong and rapid...
Jiang Xia sighed and put away his phone.
According to the current situation, Vermouth will definitely not come over again - not even in disguise.
The identity check for this banquet was quite strict. With the presence of executors and coordinators, if Vermouth knocked out another person and replaced that person, it would only cause many unnecessary loopholes in the ending that the organization wanted to achieve, namely "Councilman Tunkou's accidental death".
In short, since Vermouth is not here, Jiang Xia really has to support Pisk a little.
We are all plastic colleagues, so we should provide some support so that we can get along well in the future.
But now, it is still too early for Pisk to take action, so there is no need to think too much about the paddling posture.
Jiang Xia quickly put the matter behind him. He looked at the increasing number of people in the banquet hall and took out the business card he had prepared long ago.
