2843【The transaction between Gin and Itakura Taku】
"but……"
Vodka looked at the rows of lockers in the storage room, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: "Something feels wrong."
With this in mind, he turned on the flashlight and planned to check for hidden dangers.
As a result, such a photo really revealed something unusual.
"!" Vodka looked around and saw a check of a large amount sandwiched between the door of the iron cabinet "No. 0032".
He walked over and looked at this scene with vigilance - Iron Cabinet No. 0032 was exactly the detailed transaction place he had agreed with Taku Itakura before. Could it be that Taku Itakura put this check here?
"Isn't there a fishing line attached to the back of this thing? It's the kind that explodes when you pull it."
Staring at the check and looking left and right, Vodka stretched out his hand and carefully took it out with a cautious movement like a bomb defuse.
Fortunately, I didn't feel any unnecessary pulling force on the way - it was indeed just an ordinary check caught in the crack of the door.
"I hope there's no poison on the check. I'll have to remember to change my gloves when I get back."
While thinking about it, Vodka held up the check and looked at it over and over again.
"It's a real check. And it looks a bit familiar?" Soon, Vodka understood and murmured in his mind, "Judging from the amount, this should be the deposit paid by the previous organization to Itakura Taku. Why did this guy put it again?"
The deposit was returned. Could it be that Tequila and Belmode were scared and they didn’t dare to ask for money?”
With Taku Itakura's character, it is reasonable to do such a thing.
It was a good thing to help the organization save some money. Vodka put away the check in a good mood and looked at the cabinet again.
——The fact that the check can be clipped here means that Taku Itakura has indeed arrived. Then make an appointment with the software to trade...
Vodka's eyes fell on the locker again. He took action again and opened the door with the caution of a bomb disposal.
With a creak, the cabinet door slid open, revealing a box of CDs lying quietly inside.
"Did this guy guess that we wanted to silence him, so he didn't dare to come out and trade in person?" Vodka clicked his tongue and reached for the CD, only to find that there were four strips of tape around the CD, holding it firmly in place.
His thick gloves couldn't touch the edge of the tape, and he couldn't remove the disc even after swiping it twice.
Vodka had no choice but to take off his gloves, pick at it with his nails, and finally lift the tape head off the cabinet.
Behind the lockers.
Conan listened to the rustling movement and raised the corners of his mouth silently.
"Fortunately, I already knew the virtues of vodka, and I also guessed that he would come wearing gloves." Conan pushed up his glasses, feeling excited:
"Removing the tape is difficult to do with gloves on. In order to get to that important box of CDs, the trader has to take off his gloves and touch the strips of tape with his fingers.
"That is to say, if everything goes well, after Vodka leaves, I can take off the tape and get his fingerprints!"
…
Opposite the cabinet.
While tearing off the tape, Vodka picked up the walkie-talkie and told the peripheral members around him: "Itakura Taku is here. Watch your surroundings and don't let him escape."
"Has Taku Itakura been here?" The subordinate on the other side of the intercom asked in surprise, "But we have been here for more than three hours and have not seen him enter the station at all."
Vodka: "?"
...Taku Itakura is not here, so who put the check and CD here?
Just as he was thinking about it, his skin felt cold, and something cold and hard pressed against the back of his head.
It’s a gun!!
Is Taku Itakura promising enough to get a gun?!
Vodka's heart almost jumped out of his throat, but just when he regretted that his suicide note was not long enough, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Gin snorted coldly: "What are you dawdling about?"
Vodka: "..."
Vodka was excited: "Brother!!" - It turned out that it was not the gunman, but his long-awaited gin brother!!
In an instant, the sentence "I want to come back to you and be your assistant now!" came to my mouth, and was swallowed rationally by Vodka.
...After suffering enough of the hardships of acting alone, I began to realize how precious those days with my big brother Gin were.
He must behave like a serious member of the organization, increase his eldest brother's impression points, and get his assistant position back as soon as possible!
He was raising his hands high and thinking in his mind. At this time, behind him, Gin asked coldly: "Isn't the trading time 12 o'clock tomorrow? Why did it suddenly change to now?"
Although work has become a lot busier without vodka, Gin is actually in a pretty good mood these days.
The reason is none other than the report not long ago - "enthusiastic passerby" Akai Shuichi kindly sent the president whose car broke down home, but he "accidentally" fell into the murderer's trap. The vehicle exploded and fell off the cliff, and his body is still missing.
None were found.
Gin, who rarely had time to slowly browse the news, rarely moved his fingers this time to save the detailed description of the vehicle being tampered with. While sitting in the car drinking coffee late at night, he read this fascinating article over and over again.
A pleasant read. I regret that I could not be there in person and take a shot.
Unfortunately, the only fly in the ointment is...
"No one saw the body, which means that the difficult guy must still be alive. Oh, it's good to be alive, but he was 'unintentionally' misled by a primary school student. This kind of shameful thing should be framed and publicized for him.
"
However, a good mood is a good mood, and Gin will never let down his guard because of this. On the contrary, countless unlucky experiences have made him firmly believe in the principle that extreme joy can lead to sorrow - the more times like this, the more vigilant he must be about possible changes around him.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Vodka had changed the time of its transaction with Taku Itakura, Gin immediately took notice.
He flipped through the files Tequila left behind and looked at the recent news, and suddenly noticed something - Uzo's frequency of appearing in the hotel recently was much higher than usual?
When Taku Itakura is hiding from people, he likes to move to hotels. The quality of the hotel he likes... seems to be similar to the hotel Usa visited recently.
After thinking about it, Gin always felt that there was something fishy about it.
Although he didn't want to be disturbed by some people from his work rhythm, this software was very important to the organization. Without hesitation for too long, Gin decided to come over in person to avoid chaos.
Now, although I don't know if the matter has anything to do with Uzo... but judging from the movement of the vodka, some unplanned situations have indeed occurred.
In front of the locker next to him, Vodka heard Gin's question and quickly turned around and explained in detail: "Itakura Taku said that his heart condition had worsened and he made an appointment for surgery. He wanted to push tomorrow's transaction to a month later. So I
Let's just let him advance a day - in this way, he won't have time to do anything in the hurry."
Gin: "..." Idiot, Taku Itakura doesn't have time for mischief. Where are the others?
