Chapter 689: What to do when the moon is dark and the wind is high (Update)
This night, perhaps because his exhausting life suddenly saw the dawn of an end, Amuro Toru did not sleep as soundly as he did the previous two times.
In addition, the "mysterious man" occupied a lot of his energy - not long ago, those peripheral members who fainted on the mountain gradually woke up, and Amuro Toru contacted them as soon as possible.
However, because it was too dark and the raiders approached without warning, the outside members could not see who the raiders were. But Amuro Toru at least got an important piece of information from them - everyone said that they had never installed a recording device.
In other words, the recording device was actually most likely installed by the mysterious person who brought down the two groups of people. The purpose is unknown.
Toru Amuro thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the specific connection between Matsuda and this mission.
Therefore, at night, he paid special attention to the movements outside, and would look out the window from time to time - if Matsuda did not leave after beating the man, but stayed nearby to observe the situation like in the previous case... then maybe he could find an opportunity to try to catch him, or at least meet him?
Asking about the situation would definitely be more useful than any guesses. Even if he couldn't get an answer, at least he could get some information indirectly. Unlike now, even the speculation that "the one who beat him up was Kurosawa Sawa" was just his guess.
…
However, after paying attention for a long time, Toru Amuro was unable to catch the pine tree that was lurking nearby... Kurosawa Sa.
But I discovered something abnormal about another person.
——Vermouth answered a phone call, frowned, and drove away reluctantly.
"..." Amuro Toru looked at the scene through the window with a little confusion. Was the call from the boss to summon someone? Or was it some mission that only Vermouth could do?
He stood in the shadow behind the curtains, speculating on the situation vaguely.
However, watching Vermouth's car driving away, Toru Amuro felt a little relaxed - having such a mysterious and cunning organization leader around him would inevitably make undercover agents like them tense.
Under normal circumstances, Toru Amuro wouldn't mind having a few exchanges with these people, and maybe he could even get some information out of them.
But now is not a good time to do such a thing. Before, when the public security officials were present, Vermouth had already appeared. Although Toru Amuro has arranged for his subordinates to withdraw, this is still a loophole.
Besides, he is not alone now, he is also with Jiang Xia and the Maori family. For some reason, Amuro Toru always feels that Vermouth seems to be more interested in Jiang Xia than himself... What does this woman want to do? It can't be that she is really coveting young men. Although Vermouth is not young, at least she looks like a charming woman, at the right age, and she can attract many young men with just a smile. But why does she prefer to appear around Jiang Xia in disguise?
...It couldn't be that he failed miserably the last time he tried to capture Jiang Xia, so he's been thinking about it until now?
Of course, "Vermouth came for Jiang Xia" is also just an unfounded guess.
After all, in addition to Jiang Xia, there are other factors here that can attract members of the organization - such as that mysterious man.
Last time in the Toushen Forest, and this time in the Red Tree Inn, both Vermouth and the mysterious man were suspected to have appeared.
Toru Amuro suddenly thought that there was actually another possibility.
——Vermouth actually came here to track down the mysterious man. Now, the mysterious man has completed his unknown goal and left the Red Tree Hotel, so Vermouth also left.
When it comes to the mysterious man, Toru Amuro instinctively thinks of Jinpei Matsuda.
But…but Matsuda doesn't seem to have the habit of beating others, let alone taking off people's pants. Speaking of this, Jiang Xia does like to hit people, but he's not so perverted. Besides, Jiang Xia has been with him today, so he has an absolute alibi.
Also, back to Matsuda... Kurosawa Sawa only looks like Matsuda and occasionally does small actions like Matsuda. He is not necessarily the real Matsuda.
In short, whether he is Matsuda or not, what does this have to do with the organization and Vermouth?
Amuro Toru fell into deep thought.
A few seconds later, he suddenly stood up and began to pack his luggage in the dark.
Instead of making blind guesses in the absence of any information, it would be better to go and see.
Anyway, Vermouth never said anything like "she received a confidential mission and needed Bourbon and others to stay away." In this case, it is reasonable for the intelligence personnel to be curious about what other cadres are doing.
Moreover, now that the mission of the Ni Canhui has been completed, staying any longer would only be a waste of time.
The only thing to do is to return to Tokyo with Jiang Xia, because he was the one who brought the person out, so it seems that he has the obligation to bring the person back.
but……
Amuro Toru sighed softly.
Although Jiang Xia is a good boy, it is too tiring to travel with him.
To be honest, when Toru Amuro saw Jiang Xia standing next to the car, his scalp instinctively tingled... but he couldn't say it directly, not entirely because of his boss's face, but also because he was worried about poking the fragile heart of the young genius. The thoughts of young people are sometimes tortuous and difficult to guess, and Jiang Xia is obviously the kind of person who is sensitive and likes to think too much, otherwise he would not have cut himself into the hospital a year ago.
And now, the opportunity has come.
With the important business ahead, it is natural for him to fly solo and let Jiang Xia go back by other means - such as getting a ride from his acquaintances. Conan, Mao Lilan and the others are still young and look very energetic. It should be no problem for them to make it to Tokyo.
Amuro Toru quickly packed up everything, and at the same time suppressed his conscience. Then he picked up his luggage and went out, quickly completed the formalities at the front desk, and got into his car silently.
It was a dark and windy night when a car left the hotel. Its steady progress was yet brisk, like an eagle running towards freedom.
…
The next morning.
Jiang Xia was awakened by a knock on the door.
The ghosts didn't issue any warning about this, they just said that the person knocking on the door seemed to be an ordinary-looking policeman.
Jiang Xia got up, patted his slightly messy pajamas, opened the door a crack, and found that it was indeed a police officer.
At first, the other party looked past him and secretly peeked into his room.
Later, he recognized that it was Jiang Xia who opened the door, and his tone became friendly again: "Good morning, one of our important witnesses is missing. Have you seen this person since we separated last night?"
He handed over a photo.
The photo above shows a kind-looking old man who looks very familiar - the face of Tatsuzo Watanuki. It looks like an ID photo, and he is in a suit and tie. This should have been downloaded from the official website. Tatsuzo Watanuki is ostensibly the president of a logistics company.
