Chapter 373 The organization has set its sights on Jiang Xia! ? Please give me a monthly ticket ()
Just now on the platform, when the mermaid swam over diligently to inspect the two groups of murderous intent, she also saw the tickets of Yun Qitaro and his store manager and knew their destination.
So even without spoilers, Gin’s question isn’t hard to answer.
Jiang Xia quickly replied: [OK]
After the message was sent, the phone was silent for a full minute.
After a while, Gin's new reply came: [OK]
...This means agreeing to stop using the bombs and allowing Jiang Xia to try a more peaceful "assassination" method.
Jiang Xia was not surprised by this reply.
Gin likes to solve problems by covering them with firepower, probably because he thinks that is the most efficient way.
But this time, compared to silencing people with bombs, it is obviously more efficient to let the god of death kill people quietly.
Because if a bomb was used to kill everyone in an entire carriage, they would have to change trains late at night.
If they follow the "Uzo" method, Gin and Vodka can just take a nap in the car, and the target will be dead when they wake up, and the follow-up will not be too troublesome.
Jiang Xia put away his phone, and then thought, he must take advantage of the opportunity when Gin and Vodka go out, and drive Xiaobai to silence all the bombs in their bags.
This kind of weapon of mass destruction, if it explodes in a crowded place, will undoubtedly create a group of violent ghosts.
This was too much for a young psychic who was just passing by innocently...
…
The next box.
Gin looked at Jiang Xia's reply message in silence, thoughtfully.
Vodka next to him stole a glance at the screen, moved uncomfortably, and whispered:
"Brother, do we really want to listen to him? We are in too short a time frame. Besides, the compartments in the car are all locked, and the target is not the kind of person who likes to chat. The space here is very narrow. What if Wu Zuo is unfortunately exposed and implicated..."
"...hastily." Gin repeated the word in a low voice. At the same time, he quickly sorted out all the recent contacts with Jiang Xia in his mind.
After a few seconds, Gin showed a knowing sneer:
"No wonder he mentioned the Hokutosei when we were talking about the mission itinerary last time. It seems he has been eyeing Izumo Keitaro for a long time."
If you think about it carefully, among the assassination targets presented to Usa this time, the others are in Tottori Prefecture or even further away, only Izumo Keitaro is the closest to them.
For Uzo, who has been lacking excitement recently and is willing to go racing with passers-by, Izumo Keitaro is obviously more attractive than those targets who are hundreds of kilometers away and difficult to reach.
It would be strange if Uzo really remained restrained for a week and did nothing in the face of him.
...In that case, then this "chance encounter" with Izumo Keitaro would definitely not be a simple accident.
After hearing what Gin said, Vodka was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "... Is this also Uzo's plan?!"
He suddenly felt that the Beidouxing ticket in his pocket was particularly uncomfortable; the gun in his brother's hand also suddenly became scary.
Gin was used to Vodka's surprise when he mentioned ouzo.
He ignored the stupid younger brother's fear and nodded calmly.
Gin felt that his idea that "Uzo had made arrangements in advance" was not due to his blind trust in Uzo, but was based on certain facts.
——The train they are taking will pass through Yokohama, Nagoya and other places before arriving in Tottori Prefecture.
This means that passengers who get on the train in Tokyo may not necessarily get off in Tottori.
From the time he and Vodka met Keitaro Izumo on the platform to the time Keitaro Izumo entered the box, Gin had been observing the target of the mission.
Therefore, he was very clear that during this period, Izumo Keitaro had not talked about any topics related to the destination.
Usabi and his group were on the night train, but they were able to be so sure that Izumo and his group's destination was Tottori without having any contact with Izumo Keitaro...
Based on Uzo's previous style, Gin would never believe that today's "chance encounter" was not tampered with by him.
As Gin analyzed this young member with a little relief.
Next to him, Vodka was struggling to digest the "truth":
They picked the most suitable and comfortable sleeper berth for their trip, and happened to meet Keitaro Izumo, one of the assassination targets, on the train. It seemed to be just a very "lucky" and "coincidence" thing... But now, Brother Gin suddenly said that all this was planned by Uzo.
In an instant, Vodka only felt the breath of Uzo all around him, and his body was also wrapped by Uzo's illusory silk threads that seemed to be able to control people's hearts.
...However, thinking on the bright side, after thinking carefully, Vodka remembered that Uzo had indeed said that he wanted to take the Big Dipper train.
Although it was just a casual remark when discussing the mission schedule, and Uzo didn't even deliberately "request" it, but just mentioned it casually like talking about the weather. But seriously, this is after all a trace of his planning.
As long as there are clues to follow, things are actually not that scary... That's right, as long as we remain vigilant, we will be able to catch Uzo's flaws and prevent him from doing evil things like assassinating his colleagues or replacing their positions.
Vodka comforted himself while trying to make the goose bumps on his arms and back disappear.
After a short pause, he muttered to himself, "Why didn't Wuzo inform us in advance? What if something goes wrong? There is really no organization and discipline..."
Gin snorted coldly: "If the script is revealed in advance, when the real scene is presented to the audience, he will not be able to get the emotional feedback he wants from the audience - we are also the 'audience' in his eyes."
...Of course, understanding is one thing, but Uzo’s approach is obviously not worth promoting.
However, to be honest, after meeting several mystics such as Bourbon and Vermouth, Gin's tolerance for this kind of people has increased a lot.
Moreover, compared to them, as a genius, Uzo is at least not so weird, nor will he waste the organization's funds or slack off. Instead, in a sense, he loves his work very much.
Besides, he is still young and some bad habits can be corrected slowly.
The process of answering Vodka's questions is also the process of Gin sorting out his own thoughts.
A few minutes later, Gin put away his phone, bent down and disassembled the makeshift bomb, and decided to temporarily hand over the assassination target in the car to Uzo, and by the way achieve one of the purposes of bringing Uzo on this business trip - to observe his condition.
Uzo would not kill anyone himself, so the chances of him being exposed were very low, and the chances of him being caught were even more remote.
Moreover, they were on the same train, and if anything went wrong, he and Vodka should have had time to take action.
If Wuzo failed, the worst that could happen would be to continue with the previous plan - reinstall the bomb and kill everyone in the carriage, including the target... But if it really came to this, Wuzo would be a real disappointment.
I hope things don't develop in this direction.
…
Jiang Xia successfully stopped Gin's plan of sweeping the floor with firepower and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for whether their Dark Shark target, Boss Izumo, would die accidentally on the train tonight, Jiang Xia didn't think it would be a big problem.
——The store manager who traveled with Izumo Keitaro had a very murderous aura and looked like he was about to take action.
In addition, according to the information Jiang Xia had previously inquired about, Kogoro Mori's classmate's wedding will be held tomorrow afternoon.
If Kogoro Mouri is going to Tottori Prefecture with his family, there is a high probability that he will take Conan with him in this car.
Jiang Xia thought, maybe during the time he was packing his luggage, Conan and the others had already entered the car... Speaking of which, it is really hard to identify people who don't have murderous aura. If everyone is full of murderous aura, and the smell of murderous aura is different for each person, then everything will be perfect...
Jiang Xia spent a few seconds imagining the ideal world of a psychic.
…
The Beidouxing train departed soon.
It was already evening when we set off, and not long after, it was completely dark.
The dining car had already prepared the meals.
Jiang Xia first drove the ghost and flew around the boxes from the ghost's perspective to grasp the general situation.
Only then did I pack my luggage, leave the box, and prepare to go to the dining car for dinner.
Open the sliding door and enter the dining car.
Just after walking a few steps inside, a surprised voice suddenly rang out from the front: "Jiang Xia?"
...It was Ran Mouri’s voice.
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the voice, and not surprisingly saw Maori and his group sitting at the table.
He nodded and greeted, then walked over naturally, pulled out an empty chair and sat down - there was a table for four.
…
When Jiang Xia was halfway through his meal, Gin and Vodka also came to the dining car.
The two opened the sliding door and stepped into the carriage. At a glance, they saw Jiang Xia sitting with three other strangers.
Seeing this harmonious scene of everyone talking and laughing, Gin instinctively made a judgment - Uzo had set his sights on the three people sitting at the same table with him.
But after a closer look, I found that Izumo Keitaro was not among the three.
Then I started to think that among these three people, at least one of them was planning to murder Keitaro Izumo.
The unlucky passers-by who sat with Uzo were a primary school student, a young girl, and a middle-aged man.
It would be difficult for a child to kill an adult male like Keitaro Izumo, and the same goes for a slender young girl.
So the would-be murderer should be the middle-aged man with a mustache... No, not necessarily. As for Uzo, it is not impossible for a child to kill an adult by accident. Moreover, Gin remembered that Uzo had a precedent of using children to achieve his goals.
There were already a few tables of people sitting in the dining car, both at the front and the back of the car.
People who come in later won't look out of place no matter where they sit.
Gin did not deliberately walk too far in order to "pretend not to know him", but sat down at the table next to Jiangxia - which happened to be the table behind Kogoro Mori.
Here you can hear every word that Wu Zuo says. You can observe Wu Zuo's current state very well, and listen to how he leads others to commit crimes.
Gin was quite satisfied with this position. After sitting down, he reached out and picked up the menu on the table.
…
At the four-person dining table, Jiang Xia sat opposite Maori Ran and Maori Kogoro, with Conan next to them.
The position chosen by Gin and Vodka was exactly where Jiang Xia and Conan were facing, and behind Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran.
Jiang Xia saw it as soon as the two of them sat down.
Or to be more precise, as soon as Gin entered the dining car, Jiang Xia had already discovered him through his murderous aura.
Jiang Xia was a little confused when he saw that Gin and Vodka chose adjacent tables.
Why are you sitting so close?
He didn't mind, it was just a strange way to scare Conan... Well, actually it was okay, Conan was brave, so there would be no problem if he was scared. Maybe once stimulated, he could activate the Death Halo to a greater extent.
While thinking, Jiang Xia naturally looked at the two men in black, then retracted his gaze and continued talking to Mao Li Ran, behaving no differently than usual.
However, after being swept by his gaze, Vodka sat up straighter without making any expression, looking tense and alert.
The large man in black was not the only one who was stiff.
When Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze, he glanced at the side and saw that Kudo, who was sitting next to him, had become as stiff as a stone.
The fake child stayed still for more than ten seconds before he gradually recovered his movements. He grabbed the teacup on the table and took a big sip, as if he wanted to suppress the storm in his heart and cover up the abnormal pause after seeing gin and vodka.
Jiang Xia also picked up his teacup and took a sip. He ignored the two people next to him and at the next table who had poor acting skills and mentality, and concentrated on chatting with Maori Ran and Maori Kogoro.
There was no need to worry about Vodka's strange behavior - after all, this guy was a member of a mysterious organization that didn't want to be seen in public. His nervousness and vigilance when he appeared in public was very normal and had nothing to do with Jiang Xia at all.
As for Conan... Conan is still a first-grade elementary school student. Children of this age are easily attracted by all kinds of people or things, ignoring the movements of their hands and falling into a dazed state like just now. This abnormality is not fatal.
…
Gin really didn't care about the kid with glasses who looked a little silly next to Jiang Xia.
He placed his order and listened in silence for a while.
Then I was a little surprised to find that the topic being discussed at the next table was somewhat different from what I had expected.
Rather than being full of traps as imagined, Uzo seemed to be just chatting normally with the girl of the same age about daily life - Gin heard some topics about exams and clubs, and that their class seemed to have a new English teacher.
… Turns out he’s Uzo’s classmate.
From this point of view, Usa's sitting at that table might not be a plot against Izumo Keitaro, but just a simple chance encounter.
... Come to think of it. Judging from the ticket incident, Wuzo should have already made the necessary preparations, and the murderer and the murder plan were already in place.
Therefore, if we rashly contact Izumo Keitaro who is bound to get into trouble, or contact the murderer who is bound to be exposed, it will only increase the risk of being exposed.
On the other hand, hanging out with classmates and their kids can invisibly reduce some of the suspicion... This is indeed more thoughtful and safer than contacting the murderer. Gin nodded secretly.
