Chapter 515 Old classmate, you have to do your best to ask for monthly tickets (▽` )
The Conan chewing gum, which has performed many miracles, was of no use this time.
It was soon wrapped in a handkerchief and thrown into the ditch along with the bug and transmitter, waiting quietly for the police officers to arrive and pick it up.
Of course, when Toru Amuro secretly threw the bug and transmitter, he had his back to Jiang Xia, so Jiang Xia couldn't see it directly.
- Although Toru Amuro knew who had planted the bug, as a Bourbon, he shouldn't let it go when he suddenly found the bug and transmitter in his car right after having contact with the police.
Therefore, after leaving the external eavesdropping device to his public security subordinates, Toru Amuro secretly took out another handkerchief, put a eavesdropping device he carried with him into it, and pretended to take these suspicious items back to the car for later investigation.
…
Soon, Toru Amuro returned to the car with the bug and a very organized sneer, staring at Jiang Xia sinisterly.
The undercover's acting skills were still quite good. Jiang Xia looked at his expression and instantly thought of the sizzling murderous gin... But unfortunately, the boss obviously didn't have such abundant murderous aura. He was like those tempting molds displayed in the window of a restaurant, which looked delicious but could not satisfy hunger at all.
Matsuda Jinpei floated beside him, looking around, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know whether it was because his old classmate threatened the underage employee without any reason, or because there was a source of murderous aura with a mellow coffee aroma nearby, but this source rarely emitted murderous aura...
In short, both humans and ghosts were disappointed.
Jiang Xia then became a little depressed: "I don't know what's going on. Maybe a reporter who sneaked into the scene heard that I had a confidential commission, so he secretly released this?"
This kind of sad reaction is actually quite reasonable. After all, in Toru Amuro's opinion, Jiang Xia should not know that he is a public security officer, but should regard him as a cold-blooded cadre of the organization "Bourbon".
And now, bugs and transmitters were suddenly found in the car, and a small part of their movements were actually discovered, which was undoubtedly an oversight.
Any omission means that the blame needs to be shared. At this time, the only living things around are Bourbon and Jiang Xia - two people who are ostensibly each other's superior and subordinate.
For this kind of thing, the blame definitely cannot be put on the boss. So Jiang Xia will have to bear the responsibility first.
Toru Amuro responded to Jiang Xia's explanation of the source of the bug with a cold snort that contained no murderous intent.
After moving to another place, he took out his laptop and started typing away, pretending to be tracking clues using the eavesdropping device he had just intercepted.
Of course, since it was his own bug, he didn't find out anything - the bug was stuck to the bottom of his car by an unknown person with chewing gum, and he had just thrown it into the ditch.
…
After acting cautiously for a while, Toru Amuro closed his computer, looked at Jiang Xia, who seemed a little nervous, for a while, then stepped on the accelerator and continued on the road to leave Tokyo.
He knew in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Xia.
——Jiang Xia knew very well that he had a lot of anti-eavesdropping equipment with him, and he also had the habit of turning on these equipment at any time. In addition, Amuro Toru was very careful about Jiang Xia's words and actions just now, to prevent the news from being spread in some way in the event that Jiang Xia was Uzo. So he knew best that Jiang Xia had no time to install such things, nor did he have time to let others install them.
Since it's not Jiang Xia, then...
In Toru Amuro's mind, the increasingly suspicious Conan once again appeared.
At present, the household registration survey for "Edogawa Conan" has been completed for more than half. Since all places are not yet fully connected to the Internet, this work is not progressing as fast as expected.
However, it won’t take too long.
...Calculating the time, once the experiment on Jiangxia is finished, the results will be almost available at the household registration office.
Toru Amuro thought that if it was confirmed that Jiang Xia was not Usa, he would focus his attention on that "Edogawa Conan".
His intuition told him that there might be some big secret behind this matter.
…
After dealing with the bug and the transmitter, the two continued to drive in the direction randomly chosen by Toru Amuro.
At the same time, at the place where Toru Amuro had just dropped the chewing gum, a man in sportswear, who seemed to be jogging at night, passed by and squatted down to tie his shoelaces.
When he stood up again, there was a handkerchief in his hand.
——It was the one wrapped in chewing gum that Toru Amuro had thrown away before.
...According to Mr. Furuya, there is a transmitter inside.
Their new task is to arrange one or two people to take the transmitter to another place different from the direction Mr. Fūya left.
…
The ride out of town was quite boring.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to check the news out of habit, or greet the clients in the list, or ask Gin if he had any work that he couldn't handle, and if so, he could give him some...
Too bad I don't have a cell phone now.
Jiang Xia sighed softly and glanced at the storage box containing the cell phone.
As far as he could remember, his cell phone had been secretly taken away by Yuya Kazami at the scene of the car accident just now.
At this time, there were only two mobile phones of the same model that looked the same in the storage box.
Although it is difficult for Amuro's subordinates to find problems with his phone due to the presence of two hacker plugins from tech giants, it does affect his daily use. The public security officials are really unethical in invading personal privacy...
However, thinking of this, Jiang Xia recalled a series of cases he had encountered when he went out with Amuro Toru in the past.
...Actually, if you think about it carefully, the police use his cell phone and he uses their boss, so it doesn't seem like he's losing out.
If you can’t play with your phone, just focus on picking up ghosts these days.
...I hope the boss won't disappoint us.
…
For some reason, Toru Amuro felt a chill around him.
It may be that the wind is strong and the temperature is low in the suburbs.
Of course, it could also be because you’re hungry and lack calories…
As he was thinking, Toru Amuro moved his ears and looked to the side.
The employee he abducted seemed to feel the same way. Jiang Xia was flipping through a pile of snacks - while waiting to be recorded, he didn't know what Miyamoto Yumi said after she returned, which attracted a bunch of female police officers to come and watch Jiang Xia. These snacks were the small gifts they brought. It was hard to throw away the gifts given by others, so Jiang Xia took them all in the car.
Toru Amuro took a look at the colorful snack packaging and felt vaguely hungry.
...It’s indeed time for dinner, let’s have a meal before leaving.
He thought for a moment and drove to a nearby more expensive restaurant.
…
The white Mazda turned several directions in the night and soon arrived at a hotel that looked like a manor.
The location here is a little remote, but there are many seasonal vegetables planted around it, and the fish, chickens, ducks, etc. are all caught and killed freshly. Apart from the price, there are no other disadvantages, and many people come here to visit.
