Jiang Xia habitually checked the location of the surveillance camera, pulled up her scarf to avoid being photographed, and went down to the second floor.
There is a bar called Hegesen here. The overall lighting is dim. Standing at the door, you can hear the singing of the resident singer. The singing is not popular songs, but some classical music.
This kind of contrast makes it difficult for people to think that this is also the organization's py location. If Tequila could maintain this elegant tone, he probably wouldn't have been targeted by Conan so quickly.
…
Jiang Xia pushed the door open and entered.
Just as he was about to walk to his seat, a shadow suddenly fell next to him.
He turned his head in confusion and saw the bartender reaching out to him with a smile: "Hello, could you please show me your ID? It needs to be the one with your date of birth."
As he spoke, he touched a sign next to him casually. When the sign moved, Jiang Xia subconsciously looked over - this bar is not open to minors.
Jiang Xia: "..."
Jiang Xia: "…………"
Jiang Xia: "???"
...You have to abide by all these rules. Are you really an organization's industry?!
…
It is definitely not easy to break in forcefully.
Jiang Xia slowly touched his pocket: "I forgot to bring it."
The bartender kept a perfect smile and said without letting up: "Can you go back and get it? We are open all night here, so there will be no delay."
Jiang Xia: "..."
He glanced at the bartender and the bodyguard who was approaching eagerly, turned around and went out, silently took out his cell phone and started writing an email.
…
A minute later, Jiang Xia successfully followed Gin Jiu into the bar and entered a separate booth.
When the two of them walked to the door, Vodka happened to come back from the bar with a few glasses of wine. He saw Gin leaving his original position and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what happened?"
Gin glanced at him silently and blew out a puff of cigarette with a complicated mood: "Next time, try another place."
Vodka: "Huh?"
After a minute, he followed the two of them into the booth, and when he put the wine in front of Jiang Xia, he suddenly realized it with hindsight: "Oh!"
Then he took away the cup he just put down.
Jiang Xia: "..."
He pretended that nothing happened and retracted his empty hand. Now, he suspected that Vodka was an undercover agent, and he already had subjective evidence.
…
Although it was a bit embarrassing to have nothing to drink, fortunately they were not here to play today.
Gin quickly got to the point and put a piece of information on the table: "Kill him. The deadline is before the next election."
Assassination?
Jiang Xia took the information, opened it and looked at it.
There is a picture of a middle-aged man posted on the first page. The target looks to be in his early fifties, with a fat build, a mustache, and a bald patch on his head.
Jiang Xia has never seen this person before.
However, when he looked at the text next to the photo, he suddenly had an impression - the information showed that this person's name was Isao Ikemura, an administrative officer to the Minister of Defense and an administrative officer to the Cabinet Office, and a member of the House of Representatives.
In Jiang Xia's eyes, position is not the key.
The key point is this person's name - Isao Ikemura.
Jiang Xia: "..." He remembered that this seemed to be the deceased in a certain case.
Behind the information, there was an introduction to Ikemura Isao's family. Jiang Xia turned back the page and became more sure.
…………
"He usually doesn't bring bodyguards. It's not difficult to kill him, but the key point is that our existence cannot be exposed in this whole thing." Gin said coldly, "Including training time, you have been in the organization for as long as
Time is running out, and we should be very clear about our requirements for 'concealtness'."
Jiang Xia: "..." That's not what you said when you killed passers-by A, B, B and D in the street and fired randomly with a machine gun.
He silently suppressed the words in his heart and said with a calm face: "I know."
Ginjiu nodded. The second generation of the organization is different from those who were recruited halfway. They are much more worry-free: "After making a plan, submit it to me, and I will assign people to you depending on the situation. This is a test for you by the organization.
——If you succeed, you will become a formal member. If you fail..." He smiled coldly, "You know the consequences."
Jiang Xia showed a little serious expression in cooperation.
However, he remembered that Ikemura Isao would soon be killed by his wife, Ikemura Koe.
A few days ago, Jiang Xia actually met Chicun Gongjiang.
At that time, a rich lady came to him to give him a commission, and Mr. Ikemura also came with him, as if to inspect the situation.
In Jiang Xia's mind, "visiting the detective agency" was the preparatory act for Ikemura Koe to take action - she needed a detective to be a "witness."
…………
Jiang Xia took over this task.
Of course, you have to take the exam even if you don’t want to. The assessment organized by the organization is not an ordinary test, and there is no option to refuse the exam.
…
For a period of time after this, Jiang Xia deliberately tracked down Ikemura Isao's itinerary.
Secretly, he was secretly observing Ikemura Kojiang.
All he had to do was walk around the scene before Chicun Gongjiang committed the murder, and he would be able to get the mission. As for what to say when handing in the mission... he could just make it up based on the situation at that time.
…
Jiang Xia has a good memory.
He recalled the events of the past few days and found that Mr. Chimura only came once to inspect with his friends. He did not come again after that, maybe because he did not take a fancy to Jiang Xia as an "eyewitness."
Therefore, Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Mouri Kogoro's detective agency to check out the situation - maybe Ikemura Gong Jiang was attracted there secretly.
It just so happens that the Kinoshita Yoko peripherals I ordered last time have not yet been handed over to Kogoro Mori. Why not take this opportunity to go over and have a look at the situation.
…………
With this in mind, the next day, Jiang Xia did not go to work at the detective agency as usual, but went to the video store to pick up peripherals.
At the same time, Amuro Detective Agency welcomed an uninvited guest.
——Hattori Heiji followed the address and found it all the way.
Hattori Heiji is a famous high school detective in Osaka.
Newspapers here always like to compare each other. As one of the popular high school detectives, Hattori Heiji was also unfortunately compared.
Someone made up a saying for him - Hattori is in the west, Kudo is in the east.
However, during this period, Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and the "Detective of the East" was gradually replaced by Toshi Eka.
This doesn't sound very rhyming. When Hattori Heiji was struggling with this point, he inevitably became interested in this change.
A long time ago, Hattori Heiji wanted to come to Tokyo to compete with Kudo Shinichi. However, he had too much homework and couldn't spare any time.
Now, the detective in the east suddenly changed, and the timelines of "Kudo" and "Eka" were subtly continued. Various conjectures suddenly popped up in Hattori Heiji's mind, and he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and competitiveness.
, packed his luggage and came to Tokyo, starting his duel journey.
