This time Rum went to Hokkaido to win over a scientific research group.
The mission is going very smoothly, and it won't be long before this group can be used by the organization. But before that, there is still a small problem.
——This group has a lot of black income. After the heir succeeded to the throne, he did a lot of tax evasion and tax evasion. This was discovered by a hacker who specializes in commercial extortion.
The hackers obtained the real ledger and demanded a huge ransom.
The young heir to the consortium quickly chose to give in after receiving the olive branch offered by the organization, but he also proposed that the organization must shut up the hacker to prevent the company's illegal activities from being exposed.
The hacker was just a small fish. Curacao originally planned to deal with it last night, but unexpectedly she encountered a plane falling from the sky on the way.
...Compared to the hacker who was still waiting for the ransom, Ireland and Uzo, who were obviously involved in the plane crash, deserved more attention. Curacao therefore temporarily changed its target.
Unexpectedly, after only such a short delay, the hacker actually returned to Tokyo. It seems that he thought that the extortion in Hokkaido was almost certain, and the only thing left was to make payment, so he planned to go back to Tokyo to make the next order.
"I remember that because the hacker lion asked for a huge amount of ransom, the heir of the consortium successfully delayed half a month to raise funds." Curacao recalled the ongoing task, "As long as the person is released within half a month,
Just deal with it. Fortunately, he thought he was acting covertly and didn't deliberately erase his traces, so it's not difficult to track him - in comparison, the congressman's matter is more important."
She adjusted her already busy work schedule, quickly packed up and returned to Tokyo.
…
Like several colleagues, Jiang Xia also embarked on her way back to Tokyo that day.
However, as a righteous detective who does not need to hide, he used public transportation. A group of residents of Yoneka Town slept in the sleeper berths for a night, adjusted back the messy jet lag, and arrived at the station early the next morning, feeling refreshed and refreshed.
Refreshing.
Originally, Jiang Xia was still wondering if something would happen on the way, but Conan looked like he was burning his CPU and thinking hard the whole time. In the end, the whole journey turned out to be uneventful, and the group arrived in Tokyo smoothly.
Jiang Xia: "..." This is unscientific.
Conan is tired?
I am still tired after sleeping on the plane for so long. This elementary school student is not in good health...
Jiang Xia decided to take the time to send some tonic to her haggard neighbor.
…
Several people arrived at the station very early. Today is Monday, and a group of students just returned to Tokyo at the last moment of their vacation.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko hurried home, preparing to pack their things and rush to school. Conan was also taken to school, while Haibara Ai took a day off for herself and walked slowly home from the station with Dr. Agasa.
Jiang Xia didn't go with them. He used the excuse that a client was looking for him. After leaving the station, he went to the other side.
After walking out of the remote exit of the station, Jiang Xia saw a familiar black car parked on the side of the road within a few steps.
His eyes lit up, he opened the car door and got in. He was instantly enveloped in the car's high-end murderous aura.
The ghosts who had been yawning all the way were also refreshed, floated down from Jiang Xia, and got into busy picking.
Jiang Xia closed the car door and leaned back on the chair comfortably, very satisfied with this gift after returning.
At the same time, he glanced at Vodka: Unfortunately, the man next to Gin was not very sensible, and was in sharp contrast to his elder brother - he was greeting his colleagues without even taking some ice cream to welcome him. It was really perfunctory.
In the front seat, Vodka immediately noticed his gaze and said inexplicably: "..." What are you doing? I didn't mess with you.
He pushed up his sunglasses with a cold expression, pretended not to see Jiang Xia's burning gaze, and concentrated on driving.
The atmosphere in the car seemed to be very solemn.
Ginjiu also rarely opened his mouth to ridicule. He just looked at Jiang Xia through the rearview mirror with a scrutinizing gaze, his expression was cold and his murderous intent was stronger than usual.
Jiang Xia actually didn't see the look in his eyes: he hadn't been there for many days, and the density of murderous aura in the car was higher than usual, and wisps of it were floating nearby, even blocking his view.
Although it was a bit strange that Ginjiu didn't speak, Jiang Xia didn't want to interrupt this rare production process for the time being. Therefore, he didn't take the initiative to speak, but planned to do something else first to pass the time.
Jiang Xia touched his pocket, took out a sealed ghost mint, and opened the package. It was a new cigarette, and it had not been mixed with murderous aura after it was made.
Jiang Xia thought about the taste of this dish.
First, use iced black tea as a base, which is refreshing and not greasy.
But if it is too cool, it will appear tasteless. So soak it a little and add one-sixth of the ice cream.
Also add some apples and aloe vera, which are refreshing and healthy. Of course, how can an adult's drink be without alcohol? Add some of the usual murderous alcohol flavor. This has the most stock, so you can add more.
Although there is a murderous aura full of wine smell floating next to it, the murderous aura has to pass through the pattern space before it can be used by him, so there is no need to worry about being affected by the murderous aura around it and affecting the taste of the ghost mint.
Jiang Xia quickly mixed one according to his own ideas.
The added items were a bit complicated, but after all, he was not a professional. Jiang Xia thought back on his operations and confidently believed that there was no problem: wine and iced black tea were the base, apple and aloe vera were flavored, and ice cream was a snack. When combined, it would definitely work.
It is a summer ice drink with excellent taste.
…
Enter the co-pilot.
Ginjiu originally wanted to wait for Jiang Xia to lose his temper and take the initiative to say something. In this way, he might be able to judge the focus of Jiang Xia's current concerns from his first words, and then understand the real purpose of this guy's tormenting the plane.
However, after waiting for a long time, Wuzuo didn't say a word.
...It doesn't look like he's engaging in a silent confrontation, he's just concentrating on playing with the things in his hands.
The rearview mirror couldn't see so low that Gin had no choice but to look back and saw Jiang Xia holding a simple hand-rolled cigarette.
Gin: "..." It takes so long to tinker with a cigarette?
That couldn't be a bomb disguised as smoke.
"Oh, you are really leisurely." Gin tried in a vague way, "You just made so much noise with your front feet, and now you can play with your new props as if nothing happened."
"This is not a prop." Jiang Xia picked up the cigarette and shook it, "Can't you see, I'm mixing drinks."
Gin: "...?"
Vodka couldn't help but push up his sunglasses again, adjusting the angle to take a peek.
But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary cigarette. It's no different from the fake cigarettes Uzo usually smokes.
Vodka: "..." Is this guy crazy? Or is this some middle school student's house game?
No. Add air and say it’s seasoning... What elementary school students are playing now is more advanced than this.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, wanting to laugh.
But when he remembered who was sitting behind him, Vodka immediately stopped laughing: "..." If he was penalized for this...
Wait. Maybe this is Uzo fishing again so that he can find a reason to deal with him legitimately.
