Chapter 509 No need to throw away the anesthetic and snacks

 In an instant, vodka brings blessing to the soul.

He held the bag of snacks and said tentatively: "Why don't you keep it and give it a try? It's rare to find a colorless and odorless anesthetic, and sometimes Uzo is indeed very threatening to his teammates..."

In the passenger seat, Gin flipped through his handbook, glanced at his watch, and said in a deep voice:

“There are still 30 minutes left before the appointment time with President Yamazaki. Let’s drive.”

Hearing this, Vodka immediately put down his snack and patted his face. After waking up, start driving.

 …The eldest brother seems to have acquiesced in his behavior of carrying anesthetic snacks with him.

I didn’t directly say “bring it with you if you want”, maybe because I thought this method was too simple, not up to the mark, and as boring as a child’s play house, so I didn’t want to get involved.

 In short, although there was no clear instruction, this at least proved something - the eldest brother was indeed dissatisfied with Uzo, and Uzo was on guard!

Thinking of this, Vodka's mood improved.

He has been worried that his eldest brother has accidentally fallen into Uzo's trap and been induced to become an emotionless killing assistant. He can kill his loyal younger brother with one shot without feeling anything wrong...

 As for this situation now, Vodka is very happy to see it.

 —As long as you are alert enough, you will not be deceived by Uzo.

 Brother is indeed reliable!

 …

at the same time.

 The peaceful residential area of ​​Yoneka Town.

Jiang Xia knew nothing about the "secret weapon" prepared by Vodka.

 He successfully fished out gin for 100 million yen. Thinking about the murderous aura that had grown and accumulated in the other party during these days when he had not seen Gin, his mood improved a lot in an instant.

 Gin is different from Belmode, Bourbon, etc. His whereabouts are really difficult to track, and he seems to have no fixed address.

 In the past, Jiang Xia once tried to let the ghost stalk Gin, and spent a lot of money to light several ghost mints to provide the ghost with murderous energy for long-distance tracking.

 Finally, I finally followed Gin’s “home” with great difficulty and took note of the location.

Later, when he wanted to express his murderous intent, Jiang Xia came to the door politely with his vest on.

However, when I looked around, I discovered that Gin was not at "home", but other members of the organization who did not have permanent murderous intent were living there... This seemed to be just a safe house of the organization.

Jiang Xia followed the same pattern two or three times after that, but each time they could not find where Ginjiu lived, and instead brought in a lot of murderous intent.

The effort was not proportional to the reward. Jiang Xia felt sorry for the ghost mint he was consuming so quickly. In addition, during that period, it was not difficult to find gin - he could find it by himself or follow Conan to meet him by chance. So in the end, Jiang Xia regretfully gave up on this kind of thing. Nest-seeking behavior.

 …

Unexpectedly, gin never appeared, and Jiangxia temporarily lost this stable and high-quality source of murderous aura.

 Fortunately today, the act of "raising funds for the organization" seems to be quite effective and can successfully attract Gin.

Jiang Xia sighed sadly as she thought of the hardships of expelling murderous intent.

A while ago, after returning from Tottori Prefecture, he couldn't understand why Gin cared so much about a ship.

Later, when Belmod was idle and bombarded him with messages, Jiang Xia asked Belmod in a subtle way, and then he learned the specific price of the modified ship.

　　Although Belmod generously told him that "the organization has sufficient funds, there is no need to worry about it." But considering Gin’s attitude towards funds, Jiang Xia decided to consider the maintenance costs when dismantling the organization’s transportation vehicles in the future.

Like the ones that are too expensive, you should think twice before using them, or at least stop them in a way that is not too expensive to repair... At this point, Shinki can provide a lot of help - Matsuda Jinpei has a lot of research on machinery, And it should be happy to dismantle Black Organization stuff.

 …

 After sending the emails, Jiang Xia used the black technology plug-in to process the phone as usual.

Then he closed the door and went to the doctor's house next door to have dinner.

 It is customary to place some green vegetables in front of you, and fresh fried shrimps are placed at the farthest place.

Under Haihara Ai's gaze, Jiang Xia reluctantly finished her meal with both meat and vegetables. Then she took the cat that the cat-catching boys had left at the doctor's house, headed to the office, and started the daily life of an ordinary high school detective.

 After sending the cat to the client, it was already noon.

Jiang Xia remembered the handover place she had agreed with Ginjiu before, and as usual she planned to drive over in a vest to check out the situation.

However, as soon as I spread out on the sofa with my pillows in my arms, before I could officially start hanging up, the door of the detective office was suddenly pushed open.

Toru Amuro walked in.

Jiang Xia was startled and sat upright again.

This scene seems familiar.

—A few days ago, before the client who "used himself to catch a killer" appeared, Toru Amuro seemed to have walked in with such an expression and action.

Just last time, Toru Amuro was interrupted by a client who suddenly appeared before he could speak.

 In the next two days, the client brought nearly double digits of ghosts to Jiangxia, and four groups of murderous auras...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked past Amuro Toru and glanced at the door expectantly.

 I didn’t see the guests who suddenly broke in.

I only saw a wooden sign hanging on the door - "Closed".

 Jiangxia: “…”

 Is this the legendary "never fall in the same place twice", cunning boss...

The sly boss looked at the employee who was sitting on the sofa, looking up at him quietly, as if politely waiting for him to speak first, and then chose the words: "There is an urgent task, I need assistance, and I will leave immediately."

Toru Amuro has not yet been able to come to a conclusion regarding the everlasting question of “whether Jiang Xia is Uzo?”

The results of the investigation by his subordinates were as vague as his inference - there was no strong evidence to prove that Jiang Xia was not Wu Zuo, but similarly, there was no direct evidence to prove that Jiang Xia was the one hiding behind the scenes. Organize cadres.

So in the end, Kazami Yuya's silly proposal of "taking Jiang Xia out for a walk in a closed manner, and it will be clear immediately whether there is any incident or physical condition" was put on the agenda again.

...In fact, now, especially when Jiang Xia was in the mountains a few days ago, regardless of the risk of another landslide, and accompanied him to find the "strange tourists" who were swept away by the mud, Toru Amuro felt that those shady people in the organization should You can't do this kind of thing of sacrificing yourself for others. And in that situation, even if Jiang Xia didn't go, there wouldn't be anything suspicious - someone really needed to notify the rescue team at that time.

On the other hand, there are too many coincidences that happened to Jiang Xia, related to the organization and the case.

 In the end, Toru Amuro decided to adopt the plan given by his subordinates and use the dead horse as a living horse doctor. After all, there was no other way for the time being...
