Chapter 501: No Need to Throw Anesthetic Snacks Away
In an instant, vodka blesses the soul.
He held the package of snacks in his hand and said tentatively, "Why don't we keep it and give it a try? It's rare to find a colorless and odorless anesthetic, and sometimes Uzo is really a threat to his teammates..."
In the passenger seat, Gin flipped through his notebook, glanced at his watch, and said in a deep voice:
"There are still 30 minutes until the appointment with President Yamazaki. Let's drive."
Hearing this, Vodka immediately put down his snack, patted his face, and started driving after sobering up.
...The eldest brother seemed to have tacitly approved of his behavior of carrying anesthetic snacks with him.
I didn't directly say "bring it if you want", maybe because I felt that this method was too simple, not presentable, and as boring as a child's playing house, so I didn't want to get involved.
In short, although there was no clear instruction, this at least proved something - the eldest brother was indeed dissatisfied with Wu Zuo, and Wu Zuo was being guarded against!
Thinking of this, Vodka's mood improved.
He had always been worried that his eldest brother would fall into Uzo's trap and be induced to become an emotionless tool to kill his assistants. He didn't think there was anything wrong with shooting his loyal younger brother...
And now, Vodka is very happy to see this situation.
——As long as you are vigilant enough, you won’t be bewitched by Uzo.
Big brother is indeed reliable!
…
At the same time.
The peaceful residential area of Beika-cho.
Jiang Xia knew nothing about the "secret weapon" prepared by Vodka.
He successfully used 100 million yen to lure Gin out. Thinking about the murderous aura that had grown and accumulated in the other party during the days when he hadn't seen Gin, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Gin is different from Vermouth, Bourbon and others. His whereabouts are really hard to track down, and he seems to have no fixed place to live.
In the past, Jiang Xia had tried to let the ghost cling to Gin, and spent a huge amount of money to light several ghost mints to provide the ghost with murderous aura for long-distance tracking.
Finally, I followed Gin's "home" with great difficulty and noted down the location.
Later, when he wanted to get rid of the murderous intention, Jiang Xia came to the door politely under a vest.
However, when they looked nearby, they found that Gin was not at "home", but other members of the organization who did not have a permanent murderous aura lived there... It seemed to be just a safe house of the organization.
After that, Jiang Xia repeated the same thing two or three times, but each time he couldn't find where Gin lived, and instead he injected a lot of murderous aura into him.
The effort and reward were not proportional. Jiang Xia felt sorry for the ghost mint that he was consuming so quickly. In addition, it was not difficult to see Gin during that period of time - he could find him by himself or meet him by chance with Conan. So in the end, Jiang Xia regretfully gave up the attempt to find the old nest.
…
Unexpectedly, Gin has not appeared yet, and Jiang Xia has temporarily lost this stable and high-quality source of murderous aura.
Fortunately, today, the act of "raising funds for the organization" seems to be quite effective and can successfully lure Gin out.
Jiang Xia thought of the difficulty of eliminating the murderous aura and sighed sadly.
A while ago, after returning from Tottori Prefecture, he couldn't understand why Gin cared so much about a ship.
Later, when Vermouth was bored and bombarded him with messages, Jiang Xia asked Vermouth indirectly and found out the specific price of the modified ship.
Although Vermouth generously told him that "the organization has sufficient funds, so don't worry about it."
But considering Gin's attitude towards funds, Jiang Xia decided to consider the maintenance costs when dismantling the organization's transportation vehicles in the future.
For those that are too expensive, you should think twice before doing anything, or at least stop them from working in a way that is not expensive to repair... In this regard, the new ghost can provide considerable help - Jinpei Matsuda is quite knowledgeable about machinery, and he should be happy to dismantle the Black Organization's things.
…
After sending the emails, Jiang Xia used the black technology plug-in to process his mobile phone as usual.
Then he closed the door and went to the doctor's house next door to have a meal.
There are some green vegetables in front as usual, and fresh fried shrimps are placed at the farthest point.
Under the gaze of Haibara Ai, Jiang Xia reluctantly finished his meal with both meat and vegetables. Then he carried the cat that the cat-catching boys had left at the professor's house and went to the office, starting the daily life of an ordinary high school detective.
It was already noon when I finished delivering the cats to the client.
Jiang Xia remembered the handover location he had agreed upon with Gin, and as usual, he planned to go there under an assumed name to check out the situation.
However, just as he stretched out on the sofa with the pillow in his arms and before he could officially start the game, the door of the detective agency was suddenly pushed open.
——Toru Amuro walked in.
Jiang Xia was startled and sat up straight again.
This scene seems familiar.
——A few days ago, before the client who wanted to "use himself to lure a killer" showed up, Toru Amuro seemed to walk in with this kind of expression and actions.
But last time, before Amuro Toru could finish his words, he was interrupted by the client who suddenly appeared.
In the next two days, the client brought nearly a dozen ghosts and four balls of murderous intent to Jiang Xia...
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia glanced at the gate expectantly, past Amuro Toru.
I didn't see the guest who suddenly broke in.
There was only a wooden sign hanging on the door - "Closed".
Jiang Xia: “…”
Is this the legendary "never fall in the same place twice", cunning boss...
The cunning boss looked at the employee who was sitting on the sofa, looking up at him quietly, as if politely waiting for him to speak first, and chose his words: "There is an urgent task, I need your assistance, let's go right away."
——Regarding the eternal question of "Is Jiangxia actually Usa?", Toru Amuro has not yet come to a conclusion.
The results of his subordinates' investigation were just as vague as his inference - there was no strong evidence to prove that Jiang Xia was not Wu Zuo, but at the same time, there was no direct evidence to prove that Jiang Xia was the organizational cadre hiding behind the scenes.
So in the end, Yuya Kazami's foolish proposal of "taking Jiang Xia out for a walk in a closed environment to find out immediately whether she has the physique to deal with events" was put on the agenda again.
...In fact, even now, especially a few days ago on the mountain, when Jiang Xia accompanied him to look for the "strange tourists" who were swept away by the mud despite the risk of another landslide, Amuro Toru felt that those shady people in the organization would not do such a selfless thing. Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, even if Jiang Xia did not go, there would be no suspicion - someone really needed to notify the rescue team at that time.
But on the other hand, there are too many coincidences happening to Jiang Xia and related to the organization and the case.
In the end, Toru Amuro decided to adopt the plan given by his subordinates, and try it out as there was no other way for the time being...
