Chapter 692 Toru Amuro runs away
Jiang Xia's eyes moved, and he soon noticed the strange light in the receptionist's eyes.
He was puzzled for a moment and began to wonder if this beautiful receptionist was an external member left behind by Toru Amuro - perhaps the boss did not actually leave, but just wanted to avoid acquaintances such as Conan and the Mori father and daughter, so he left him a secret code for contact and needed to go there quietly?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia nodded cautiously in response to the front desk clerk's question.
The receptionist got a positive answer. She bent down and took out a bulging travel bag from behind the counter.
Then he put it on the table and pushed it to Jiang Xia, his eyes glued to him, smiling sweetly: "The gentleman said this is your luggage and asked us to remember to pass it to you."
"..." Jiang Xia took the travel bag, and he was ready to open it. But his reasoning made him calm down and not open it immediately. After all, this was the hotel lobby, surrounded by unknown travelers, people coming and going.
Fortunately, they can't see ghosts.
I decisively let the ghosts crawl into the bag and take a look.
Then Jiang Xia was very disappointed to find that there was nothing inside except some spare clothes, daily necessities, and an envelope containing cash.
I took a closer look without giving up. I found that the letter was an ordinary letter, the money was ordinary money, and the clothes were ordinary clothes... There was nothing that could be regarded as a "code", and I couldn't decipher any meeting place from it.
After a moment's silence, Jiang Xia opened his phone again, looked through his mailbox carefully, and even took a look at the trash can.
There was no news from Toru Amuro in my mailbox.
When he was staring at his phone in a daze, it suddenly vibrated.
Perhaps because he had calculated that it was time for him to wake up, and felt that it would be suspicious if he didn't send a message after such a long time, Toru Amuro finally sent a short message: [I have other tasks to deal with. The current task is over, you can move freely.]
Jiang Xia: “…”
It seems that the boss really left, and left very decisively.
Jiang Xia sighed silently: Is there any task that cannot be discussed? Take him with you to have a look. He is such a good tool man, he doesn't talk much, works seriously, and gives face to his superiors.
...Unfortunately, it’s no use saying these things now.
Jiang Xia calculated the time the front desk told him. At this time, with the speed of his boss's car, it would be enough to run back to his boss' hometown.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh and looked quietly at the mermaid hiding behind the flowerpot.
Last night, it was the turn of the mermaid and Miyano Akemi to be on duty. Miyano Akemi had been standing by his side weaving flower ropes, and was responsible for waking him up in case a perverted murderer broke into the room. The mermaid was responsible for patrolling the surroundings, and she happened to be busy.
As a result, when Vermouth left, the mermaid chased her reluctantly for a short distance, until the distance was far enough that it would burn too much murderous aura and wake Jiang Xia up, then she happily floated back with a ball of apple-scented murderous aura.
It was probably during that time that Toru Amuro ran away.
This fake bourbon is different from gin and Vermouth. He doesn't have the murderous aura that surrounds him all year round. It seems that only when he is face to face with the organization cadres or doing some very "organization-style" tasks, he will enter the state of coffee-flavored murderous aura.
...This resulted in the fact that both Jiang Xia and Gui inevitably had some omissions in their observation of him.
And the most important thing is... Jiang Xia didn't expect that Amuro Toru would just leave without saying goodbye.
Otherwise, they should have released a special ghost to float into Toru Amuro's room and stare at him, and then at the right time make the boss lack the physical conditions to leave, such as making him lose the functioning car... Tsk, I was careless.
…
After going to the front desk to confirm the whereabouts of Toru Amuro.
Conan followed Jiang Xia back like a tail, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself along the way.
Although Jiang Xia told him not to ask, there seemed to be more and more mysteries. If Conan didn't ask, he felt that he would also collapse into chaos and mystery.
He hesitated for a long time before he finally made up his mind and chased after Jiang Xia before he returned to the room: "Why did you leave your luggage with Boss Amuro?"
At the same time, he looked at the travel bag suspiciously, worried that it might contain some deadly illegal items.
"..." Because I don't have any luggage, Jiang Xia said casually, "Because my own room can't hold it."
Conan: “…”
This reason, which even Kogoro Mori would not believe, clearly shows the respondent's perfunctory attitude.
Conan was slow to realize that Jiang Xia's words "don't ask" actually contained another meaning: "you won't get anything out of it even if you ask."
He had no choice but to shut up and try to sort out this messy trip on his own.
Of course, the first step to find out the truth is to shamelessly follow Jiang Xia into his room and try to observe what's in the travel bag.
If it is really an illegal item, it is still not too late to call the police now - the people at the front desk and the lobby will prove that the bag was given to Jiang Xia by someone else, and Jiang Xia is just an unlucky victim.
After entering the room, Jiang Xia opened her bag.
Conan leaned over to take a look and was shocked to find that the bag actually contained only ordinary luggage.
The only suspicious thing was an envelope containing money.
But it was obviously not illegal funds, because there was only 100,000 yen in it, and Jiang Xia could earn it back by just taking a commission. Rather than some dirty cash flow, it was more like a subsidy for travel and living expenses. Judging from the amount, Amuro Toru actually looked like a conscientious boss who did not exploit his employees.
Since they were just ordinary luggage... Could it be that these luggages were just used as hostages? Was Amuro Toru holding Jiang Xia hostage by detaining the luggage?
This ineffective method doesn't seem to fit the insidious image of a scumbag boss...Also, why did Toru Amuro suddenly leave now?
Conan was just confused.
First of all, the reason why Mr. Amuro ran away was probably not because he encountered enthusiastic people like him and the Mori family, because both sides had encountered each other before. At that time, Toru Amuro did not give any response.
I heard that a few days ago, Hattori even dispatched police officers to arrest people, but in the end there was no result.
Conan also remembered that after Hattori Heiji, the second-generation police officer, inquired about the matter, he secretly shared information with him, saying that similar things had happened more than once - even Kid, whom he met on the way, reported Amuro Toru, saying that he was a human trafficker who kidnapped innocent high school students.
As a result, Toru Amuro is still fine.
Of course, Conan and Hattori Heiji both agree that this does not mean that there is no problem with Amuro Toru.
Because just think about Jiang Xia's attitude and you will understand - if even the persecuted person does not admit that Amuro Toru is committing illegal acts against him, then no matter how hard others try, it will hardly be of any use...
