Chapter 991 Gin: Go blow up the building
Now, it may not be the time for him to "fake his death". Akai Shuichi is not in a hurry to use a new identity.
In short, based on Jiang Xia’s last contact with “Okiya Subaru”, he regretfully discovered that the current “Okiya Subaru” is just a real Okiya Subaru.
However, no matter how you think about it, this person is very likely related to the real Shuichi Akai.
Therefore, things like "blowing up a building" should be left to Subaru Okiya.
…
Jiang Xia did not directly send the task to Okiya Subaru. Instead, he planned to find him at the right time and interview him under the pseudonym "Uzo" of Matsuda Jinpei.
——It’s not to see whether it’s “Okiya Subaru” or “Akai Shuichi”, but Gin also said that this mission “needs to be kept secret.”
In this case, it is better to communicate face to face, which is most effective.
…
Shizuoka is not far from Tokyo.
However, because Jiang Xia was busy handling two cases in one day, it was already very late when he arrived at the place.
Jiang Xia therefore did not rush to the "Nishitama City Twin Towers" to check overnight.
It would not be a good idea to rush over there, after all, the organization has also set its sights on that building. As a "righteous detective", if Jiang Xia suddenly ran over to watch, if he was seen by someone with ulterior motives, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion.
In this case...
After Jiang Xia got home, he went into the study.
After searching for a while, I quickly found a package of peripherals that Yoko Kinoshita had just sent.
He took one out of them and prepared to go to the Maori Detective Agency when it was daybreak for an impromptu "encounter".
…
the next day.
Jiang Xia carried the pre-packed peripherals, crossed several streets, and came to Kogoro Mori's house.
The Maori Detective Agency is a three-story building. The first floor is the rented Poirot Cafe, the second floor is the detective agency, and the third floor is where the Maori family lives.
On the side of the building, there is an unlocked corridor leading directly to the second and third floors.
Jiang Xia walked up the stairs and went all the way to the second floor.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Mao Lilan's alert voice coming from inside the room:
"Go meet your schoolgirl? Schoolgirls are dangerous! - You and mom are just separated, not divorced, don't mess around outside!"
Suzuki Sonoko also happily added fuel to the fire: "That's right! Even if we don't go shopping today, we can't let you succeed!"
…
Jiang Xia: “…”
Instead of eavesdropping, it is better to listen openly.
So he knocked on the door and asked to join.
When Maori Kogoro heard that someone else was coming, he shouted at the door in a panic, "We are closed today. I have an appointment!"
As he was speaking, he turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xia. He was startled and said, "It's you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Maori Kogoro saw the exquisite package in Jiang Xia's hand.
His eyes lit up immediately and he went to greet her: "Come in, come in. Alas, you are the least troublesome person in your generation. Why would you bring a gift when you visit someone..."
As she spoke, she took the package with dignity.
Maori Kogoro happily opened the package while pointing at Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, and continued with his previous words, complaining:
"Compared to that, huh, look at what kind of people they are. I was just going to participate in some normal adult socializing, and they actually said I was going to flirt!"
Suzuki Sonoko also snorted. She ignored Maori Kogoro and ran to Jiang Xia, inviting her:
"Let's go to the newly built Nishitama Twin Towers! I heard that it is the tallest twin tower in Japan. You can clearly see the entire Mount Fuji. It must be a good place to relax."...
Recently, Suzuki Sonoko especially needs to relax.
A few days ago, after she survived the holographic game where "failure means electrocution", she was eager to buy a set of gaming equipment, and then enter the holographic world to compete with "Professor Moriarty" and have an undisturbed world for the two of them.
Unfortunately, with such a serious accident, and with President Sindorah still missing and highly suspected of absconding for fear of crime, the release of the holographic game "Cocoon" has naturally been shelved, and may even be permanently shelved.
Suzuki Sonoko didn't buy the game, so she had to settle for the next best thing and wanted to ask the staff for some screenshots of herself and "Professor Moriarty" in the same frame, but she was unable to get any - it was said that the game's information at the time had been destroyed by Noah.
Suzuki Sonoko returned disappointed.
But she didn't give up.
——The Suzuki Group is one of the investors in the game “Cocoon”.
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't get the game on her own, so she had to sneak in through the back door. She put aside her shame and went to her elders to be a spoiled child. She successfully got a game cabin and installed a matching small computer room at home.
However, after entering the game with great expectations, Suzuki Sonoko discovered that everything was completely different from her previous experience.
——Although it is also "holographic", this time, the physical sense is quite laggy. There is no longer the wonderful feeling of "being in another world" as before, but I can clearly feel that I am in a game.
Suzuki Sonoko thought that this kind of lag might be due to poor performance of the machine. Fortunately, she was not really here to review the game.
She barely managed to hold it in, and after landing, she drove the stiff character modeling and headed straight for the "Poker Club".
Then she was shocked to find that in this villain's lair, the handsome "Colonel Moran" was gone, and "Moran" had become a hairy strong man. And "Professor Moriarty" had also become a white-haired old man, and there was no trace of the "Professor Moriarty" she had seen before.
Suzuki Sonoko was hit hard.
She left the game in tears, ending her short-lived career as an "internet addict girl" and becoming a popular person again, going shopping with Mao Lilan to heal her broken heart.
Who knew that when I came here, I just saw a scene of a father-daughter fight... Well, there was no fight, but Maori Kogoro was unilaterally scolded by Maori Ran by the ear. Anyway, it looked very interesting, and Suzuki Sonoko decisively joined the battlefield.
Then, Jiang Xia came over.
Jiang Xia seemed to be somewhat interested in what she had just said: "Nishitama City Twin Towers?"
Maori Kogoro nodded and answered, his expression suddenly showing a bit of pride:
"The building's opening ceremony will be next week, and outsiders will not be allowed in until after that. But -- ahem, to be honest, the owner of this building, Mio Tokiwa, is my junior schoolmate when I was in college. I helped her a lot back then, so she specially invited me to visit in advance."
After a pause, remembering what Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko had said just now, Mao Li Kogoro added: "The schedule has been booked. It's very rude to break the appointment now!"
Mao Lilan silently glanced at her father's stiff suit, sniffed the faint men's perfume in the air, sneered, and did not continue to stop him:
"We're just going for a tour anyway, it's boring to go alone—" She suddenly pulled Jiang Xia with one hand and Suzuki Sonoko with the other, and said grimly, "We want to go together too!"
