Chapter 40 Hard-working Employee
A few dozen meters away.
The innocent Jiang Xia was riding a motorcycle at this time, planning to rush to Marudenjiro's house.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Judging from the ringtone, it's the organization's exclusive phone.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
——Just now, Xiaobai suddenly expressed joyfully that it could sense the scent of Gin.
It's just that the two sides were quite far away from each other, and there were many cars at the intersection, so Jiang Xia didn't go over to show his murderous intent.
Now it seems... Gin has also seen him?
…
Jiang Xia thought about it and answered the phone.
Gin's voice soon came from the receiver: "Go to Enjyu City Hotel in Haido-cho immediately. There is 1 billion yen in cash deposited at the front desk. Bring the money out and wait for me at the clock tower in the west district."
After sending out the task, he hung up neatly.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He stared at his phone, thought for a moment, turned the car around and headed for the hotel that Gin mentioned.
…
On the way to the hotel.
Jiang Xia thought of the key word "ten billion in cash" and roughly understood the current situation.
In his memory, the only incident that could be related to the organization, the hotel and 1 billion yen at the same time was the robbery of Akemi Miyano.
——After Miyano Akemi stole 1 billion yen, she planned to use the money to exchange for her sister from the organization.
But she was worried that the organization would go back on its word, so when she went to the transaction location, she did not bring any money with her, but instead kept the cash in the hotel where she was staying.
Now it seems that Gin predicted Miyano Akemi's prediction.
…
Stealing a cash suitcase from a hotel doesn't seem difficult.
But Jiang Xia remembered that Miyano Akemi relied on Conan's help to recover the 1 billion yen that was taken away by her accomplices.
With Conan's involvement, the ordinary "stealing money" task was suddenly upgraded to a time-limited and difficult task of "taking the money before the police arrives without exposing yourself in the process."
Once caught by the police or captured by surveillance cameras, Gin would have a reason to silence him as a peripheral member.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed sadly.
If he died at Gin's hands... then I would have to make do with taking Gin's body.
But compared to Gin, Jiang Xia still prefers a younger body that is closer to his own age. And Gin is too busy, with a lot of work on his shoulders. If he were to do it himself... he would be worried just thinking about it.
Fortunately, although the hotel has installed a lot of surveillance cameras, stealing money without exposing oneself... is not difficult for a psychic.
…
Jiang Xia quickly arrived at Enjyu City Hotel.
But he didn't go in. Instead, he walked into a nearby cafe, ordered a Coke, and chose a seat near the bathroom.
Confirmed that no one was in the restroom.
Several shikigami flew out from nowhere under Jiang Xia's feet and slipped in through the crack in the door.
Xiaobai also squirmed through the door and gathered together with the shikigami in the bathroom, forming a little boy puppet.
…
In the cafe outside.
Jiang Xia opened a magazine, placed it in front of the original character, and pretended to be reading.
Then he moved his consciousness into the puppet in the bathroom.
The clothes on the puppet will be generated according to the preferences of the ghost used for filling. Jiang Xia can make some adjustments to it.
He extended the collar of the little white puppet, raised it up to cover the "Z" mark on its neck, and messed up its original hairstyle.
After erasing the more obvious features.
He pushed open the window and climbed out through the bathroom window.
…
This body is very small.
But Jiang Xia transferred his original body's abilities over here, and at this time, his strength was far beyond that of an ordinary child.
Jiang Xia ran to where he parked his motorcycle and took out a few things from under the seat. He put things that could fit into his pockets, and if they couldn't fit, he lifted up his clothes, hid the things in front of his stomach, and then covered them with the hem of his clothes.
Afterwards, he ran to the supply channel at the back of the hotel and hit a truck that had just unloaded its goods and was about to leave.
With a muffled bang, a small figure flew out from in front of the car.
The driver looked at the child lying in front of the car, cursed inwardly, and hurried down to check the situation.
Just as he squatted down, a ungrateful knife suddenly attacked and hit his neck accurately.
…
Jiang Xia knocked the man unconscious, dragged him away and hid him.
After robbing the car used to transport the cash, Jiang Xia drove the puppet and sneaked into the hotel lobby, placed bombs in several pre-observed locations, and detonated them with one click.
There was a loud bang.
It was evening and many guests were having dinner in the hotel lobby.
The sudden explosion plunged the hall into chaos.
…
The front desk clerk hastily locked the cash box and was busy evacuating the crowd and running for his life.
The space behind the counter was suddenly empty.
Jiang Xia pressed down the brim of his hat, sneaked to the counter, and looked up at the huge luggage cabinet.
There aren't many luggages stored here. Most guests prefer to leave their luggage in their rooms rather than at the counter.
Jiang Xia took a quick look and quickly found three suitcases of the same model.
He pulled one down with force, opened a crack, peeked inside through the gap, and found that it was full of money.
After confirming that everything was correct, Jiang Xia took some effort to move the three suitcases, which were taller than his puppet, onto a cart.
Before pushing the cart away, Jiang Xia thought for a moment and picked up a large handbag next to her.
He dumped the contents onto the ground and threw the empty bag onto the cart. Finally, he pushed the cart away in a low profile.
…
The freight truck that had just been robbed was still parked there.
Jiang Xia threw the money and bag on board, climbed into the car and started the engine.
This puppet is too short and it is difficult to drive.
Jiang Xia chose roads with fewer people and drove the car recklessly to a place where there was no one nearby.
After parking the car, he left the puppet where it was and his consciousness quickly returned to his body.
…
In the coffee shop.
The main body stood up, paid the bill and left.
Jiang Xia ran along the alley for a while, wearing a hat, mask and gloves along the way.
He quickly rushed to the parking lot and took over the car and money that the puppet had just stolen.
After getting in the car, Jiang Xia grabbed the puppet on the passenger seat and stuffed it into the large handbag he had just picked up. Then he zipped it up, flipped the bag over the seat, and threw it into the back seat.
Everything was done. Jiang Xia comfortably lit a ghost mint and drove to the place Gin said.
