Chapter 669: Mistakes (Update)
——After correcting the conditioned reflex that had been forced to form in the past few days, Toru Amuro felt relaxed when he saw Jiang Xia’s acquaintances again.
He calmly watched Maori and his group pass through the hall and enter the room.
After putting down the luggage, they rushed down again.
In the end, the group was not at all shy and sat in a circle around their table.
"Have you completed your 'confidential commission'? Are you traveling now?" Mao Lilan looked at Jiang Xia and then at Amuro Toru, wondering why they came to this filming location.
Amuro Toru smiled politely: "I guess so."
"Then let's go to the mountain together." Mao Lilan invited happily, "Now is the season for viewing maple leaves. If we go any later, it will be dark when we go down the mountain."
She looked at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia skillfully turned to Amuro Toru and politely asked for his opinion.
Across the street, "Suzuki Sonoko" watched this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the cookie in her hand snapped. She was startled, picked up another intact piece, and put it into her mouth.
The group of people in front of her include Jiang Xia, her cool guy and Angel. Maori Kogoro is Angel's father, which is acceptable. But such a perfect team unexpectedly has a Bourbon mixed in... It always feels like a grain of spicy oil mixed in a glass of sweet milk, which makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
As Jiang Xia looked at Amuro Toru, the gazes of the others also subconsciously turned over. The disdainful gaze of "Suzuki Sonoko" was mixed in and was not obvious.
Under everyone's attention, Toru Amuro nodded and did not refuse.
...He had originally planned to go up the mountain. If he refused now, it would be awkward if they suddenly met on the mountain later.
Although he always felt that things would easily go wrong around Jiang Xia once he met someone he knew...but now, he had already arrived at the mission destination. Even if he really encountered something, Toru Amuro didn't believe that anything could slow down the progress of his mission.
On the other side, Vermouth saw him nod and was a little surprised by the situation.
She remembered that according to the information she had collected before, Bourbon seemed to be deliberately separating Jiang Xia from others.
But now…
Is it true, as Gin said, that this "game" between Ouzo and Bourbon has come to an end?
…
After agreeing to go up the mountain together, the group finished the snacks on the table and stood up one after another.
Before leaving the hotel, Toru Amuro accidentally exchanged glances with "Suzuki Sonoko".
Then he received a distant sneer.
Toru Amuro: "...?"
He looked at Suzuki Sonoko and realized that the girl was not very friendly to him.
However, thinking about the Hattori Heiji he met before, and Kid who inexplicably said that he was a kidnapper... Compared to that, Suzuki Sonoko's attitude was not much out of place. At least she did not immediately call a team of police or bodyguards over. Thinking of this, Amuro Toru subconsciously touched his face. Strange, does he really look like a bad guy?
Come to think of it, I always feel like something is not right about Suzuki Sonoko today...is it because her clothes style has changed?
Because of Jiang Xia, Toru Amuro and Sonoko Suzuki met several times.
But in the final analysis, the two of them were just acquaintances who had ridden each other's cars a few times and encountered a few cases together, so they were not very familiar with each other.
"Suzuki Sonoko" noticed his gaze but didn't care.
She appeared here with the intention of disrupting Bourbon and drawing his attention away from the children, so as to prevent Conan and Jiang Xia, who was covering for him, from revealing too many flaws.
Under the gaze of Amuro Toru, Vermouth walked around to the back of Jiang Xia, who had just stood up and was politely waiting for his boss to leave first, and pushed him: "Let's go, let's go."
…
A group of people left the hotel gate and prepared to head to the mountain.
Mao Li and his group came to check in at the filming location of the TV series. Amuro Toru wanted to find out what was wrong on the mountain that made the executive who was attending the meeting so concerned.
However, due to the lack of useful clues at present, Toru Amuro has not yet made a clear direction for the investigation.
So he decided to follow the others for the time being. In addition, Amuro Toru thought, according to Jiang Xia's event constitution, he might bump into the target of Watanuki Tatsuzo and others while walking like this... Thinking about it this way, if the event constitution is used well, it doesn't seem so terrible.
…
After Vermouth pushed Jiang Xia out of the hotel door, she did not let go of her hand, but instead took his arm easily.
Then my mood subtly improved a little.
...She was not in tune with her personality of being a nympho and being very familiar with others. At first, Vermouth thought that pretending to be Suzuki Sonoko would not be a pleasant disguise.
But now it seems that this characteristic is very convenient at certain times and can help us approach the goal naturally.
Holding Jiang Xia's arm, and looking at Conan and Mao Lilan who were so close, Vermouth breathed in the air of the forest with pleasure, feeling that this trip was not in vain. It was worth her hard work of looking at the surveillance cameras and train timetables to find someone.
Jiang Xia walked along the mountain road, stepping on the dead leaves that rustled under his feet.
After walking a distance, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Vermouth.
"..."A ball of fragrant murderous aura came towards him. It smelled good and was convenient for the ghosts to pick it nearby. He didn't mind it.
but……
Jiang Xia looked at it once, and then looked again.
Then he realized that it was not an illusion - the apple-scented murderous aura emanating from Vermouth was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Xia: “…”
…
Belmode was having a lot of fun as "Jiang Xia's friend". After admiring the red maple, she looked down at Jiang Xia's arm and couldn't help but pinch it.
…Looks a little thin, but feels quite solid, not too thin. She thought Jiang Xia would be very tired after following Bourbon all the way here, but it turned out not to be the case. On the contrary, Bourbon seemed to have lost some weight.
Disguise experts are very sensitive to changes in other people's body shapes, and Vermouth is sure that she is not mistaken. Could it be that Gin really did not make a mistake this time, and as he said, the situation is under Uzo's control?
Vermouth nodded slightly in her heart. What a capable person... From this point of view, there is really no need for her to follow. Maybe in a while, Bourbon will die quietly in another place.
But now, she didn't regret coming here too much.
Just as she was quietly enjoying her life, Vermouth suddenly felt someone gently pushing her shoulder.
She was startled and turned her head, only to see Jiang Xia carefully pull his hand out of her arms and walk silently to the side.
Vermouth's hands were empty: "..."
...Did he give himself away somewhere? Or did Jiang Xia not realize that "Suzuki Sonoko" was actually Vermouth, and he pushed her away just now because he didn't like having his arms hugged?
