Chapter 380 Jiang Xia: Man in black? I dont know him
Noriko Okaya did see the news about a car accident and falling off a cliff.
To be precise, she has been paying close attention to similar news since the car accident that resulted in the death of her fiancé a few months ago. Noriko Okaya also feels that people like Kitagawa Takeshi are hard to change, and it is very likely that
I can't help but cause similar accidents again, so as long as you pay more attention to this kind of news, you may be able to find Kitagawa Takeshi who is causing trouble again.
Now that Kitagawa Takeshi appears in the news, Noriko Okaya is not surprised.
The only unexpected thing was that it was Kitagawa Takeshi's body that made the news.
This is really...
Fantastic.
Okatani Noriko cried with joy, cried and became sad again, and she cried in this cycle for a whole day. Her murderous aura also naturally dropped during this process.
Wutiangou stood in front of the window, watching her crying, and clasped his hands in compassion, thinking that he should recite something like Amitabha here.
However, before he could open his mouth, the mermaid that followed followed him and slapped his tail into the window.
Then the mermaid herself passed through the glass, commanding the foggy dogs to lift up the murderous aura that seemed huge to them one by one, and move it towards the window again.
…
The days since then have been very peaceful.
Thinking of the upcoming business trip, Jiang Xia went to prepare some things for the trip.
A week later, he arrived at the station at the appointed time.
That's right, the station.
This time, Gin planned to take public transportation instead of driving.
One of the reasons is that his car, which was damaged by Kitagawa Takeshi, is still being repaired.
In addition, the trip route this time is quite long. After arriving in Tottori Prefecture, we have to transfer to the island halfway, so driving is not as convenient as taking public transportation.
Gin's acting style is different from ordinary murderers. He usually kills and then leaves, and silences all passers-by who have seen him kill.
Therefore, not only the police could not find him, but the detectives who were good at selecting one of three fixed suspects could not find him either.
Therefore, although Gin's identity is somewhat problematic, it is far from the point where he is posted with wanted notices everywhere. He can usually appear in public places. There are not many occasions in the island country where he needs to check his identity certificate, so it is relatively safe for him to go out.
.
...Having said that.
But when Jiang Xia rushed to the station and met Gin and Vodka at the secret place they had arranged, he couldn't help but make a small request.
"Just pretend you don't know me on the way."
Jiang Xia said as tactfully as possible: "I'm worried that you might be photographed one day when you silence yourself, and then someone will find out that I had contact with you... Although this can barely explain the past, it can easily arouse the suspicion of interested people." -
—Those who are interested specifically refer to those famous detectives who have many cases around them and are easy to deal with.
"..." Ginjiu raised his head when he heard this and glanced at Jiang Xia from under the brim of his hat.
When someone says this to your face, it's hard to avoid feeling a little bit weird.
But if you think about it carefully, Uzo is indeed acting strictly in accordance with the organization's confidentiality requirements.
Moreover, I just pretended not to know him, and I didn't want to arrest him and vodka to the police as a way to climb up the corporate ladder... This is not a big deal.
Gin crushed half of the cigarette into the ashtray with water next to it, nodded, and left without saying a word, carrying his briefcase.
Vodka stayed for a second and trotted to keep up.
After running a few meters, he couldn't help but look back at Jiang Xia, his eyes were shocked, and his face had a hint of condemnation——
Neither he nor his eldest brother disliked Uzuo for walking around and killing people, but Uzuo actually disliked them in turn? How unreasonable!
Sooner or later s…
cough.
...Sooner or later, Big Brother will kill him!
…
Jiang Xia pretended not to see Vodka's complicated look: "You have no conscience!"
... His conscience does hurt a little, but he really can't walk arrogantly with Gin and Vodka in public places - maybe other times, but not today.
Because according to Jiang Xia's prior investigation, this trip is likely to meet Conan and Mouri Kogoro's group: Mouri Kogoro has a good classmate in Tottori Prefecture. The classmate will hold a wedding recently, and he will be invited to attend.
Jiang Xia thought about the scene at the station. He hadn't seen Conan and Mao Li yet. He was probably too late to go out again, so he could only get on the train on the dead line later... By the way, before they arrived.
, go and pick up the reserved tickets first.
Ginjiu had booked the tickets before, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to go separately, and he didn’t know if Ginjiu would give him the tickets again... I was afraid that the cadre would think along the way he just thought, and think it was very reasonable, and then decide to go separately.
Separate them more simply, don't take the same car, and wait until they meet at the destination... then his case will be blown away.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia quickly left the hidden corner and walked towards the ticket gate.
From a distance, I saw two tall and eye-catching black figures standing there. They seemed to have finished taking the tickets and were turning around to leave.
The two sides looked at each other, Gin's eyes passed over Jiang Xia, and he lowered his head and said a few words to Vodka.
Then I saw Vodka's face change from calm to shocked, then from shocked to reluctant, and finally walked towards Jiang Xia reluctantly with a straight face and a ticket in hand.
"..."
Jiang Xia was startled for a moment, but then quickly understood what the other party meant.
Probably here to give him a ticket.
…but Gin apparently misunderstood some of the facts.
——Perhaps in Ginjiu's heart, vodka is not cruel at all, so after Ginjiu listened humbly to Jiang Xia's suggestion just now, he temporarily handed over the task of "contacting Uzo", which in his eyes was not threatening, and even more
Like a good guy's vodka.
...But in the eyes of passers-by who don't know the truth, Vodka actually looks more like a villain in the traditional sense. And in the eyes of people who know a little bit of the truth, there is even less difference - Gin and Vodka are exactly the same, both dressed in black
members of the organization.
Although according to Jiang Xia's observation just now, there is currently no protagonist group in the station.
But judging from the luck of Gin and Conan... Jiang Xia was always worried that the moment he took the ticket from Vodka, he would be seen by the protagonist group who happened to come in.
Thinking like this, Jiang Xia turned around, slightly changed the direction of her advance, and turned into a corridor as if nothing had happened.
Behind him.
Vodka paused as he approached. He looked carefully at the corridor that had a broken light and looked extremely dark compared to the bright hall.
...I don’t know if it was an illusion. He always felt that this place was suitable for ambush and silence.
Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes twitched under his vodka sunglasses, and he subconsciously looked back at Gin.
They saw Gin holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking away from the pocket of his windbreaker, as if he didn't recognize the two people here. He didn't see or respond to Vodka's gaze.
Vodka: "..."
Forget it. The boss is here, there are so many people in the hall, and Uzo doesn’t have a deep hatred for him, so he won’t suddenly kill him at this time. He can’t always overreact like this. After all, according to those who learned from escape-type variety shows
Judging from experience, the more you panic, the easier it is to die...
Thinking like this, Vodka took a deep breath calmly, and with a tough-guy face, he strode into the corridor and turned a corner.
Then he almost ran into Jiang Xia who was waiting for him at the corner.
When Vodka saw that face up close, his heart skipped a beat, and he reflexively held the gun in his pocket.
Almost at the same time, another hand reached out silently and pressed on his wrist, interrupting Vodka's action of drawing the gun.
"Do you want to be silenced for pulling out a gun in such a public place?" Jiang Xia changed what Ginjiu had said to him before turning to give it to Ginjiu's number one younger brother.
Then he stretched out his other hand and took out the ticket that belonged to him from Vodka's hand.
"Got it." Jiang Xia shook the ticket at the stiff vodka, glanced at the murderous look on the tall man in black that had just been frightened out, and was immediately frightened back, and let go of his wrist, "You go back.
Bar."
After breaking free from the restraint, Vodka took a sharp step back.
Then he raised his chin, barely managed to let out a cold snort that gathered momentum, turned around and walked away, walking quickly.
Jiang Xia did not go out immediately, but first looked down at the ticket.
This time they booked the Hokutosei train, sleeper class, which goes directly from Tokyo to Tottori.
Thinking about the other two tickets that the ghost had just spotted, Jiang Xia found that the two boxes were next to each other. Probably the person who booked the tickets thought that this would be more conducive to handling emergencies.
Jiang Xia secretly nodded, very satisfied with this arrangement. Gin's body may produce fresh murderous aura at any time - for example, when he accidentally thinks of someone who should be killed while reading documents, the murderous aura in his body will temporarily expand.
And having private rooms close to each other like this is undoubtedly more convenient for Jiang Xia to send ghosts to visit at any time.
Even if the ghost is allowed to stay in the gin and vodka box, at this distance, the act of "letting the ghost out" will not consume too much murderous energy.
…
After delivering the vodka tickets and leaving, Jiang Xia did not go out the same way, but took a detour and left from the other end of the corridor.
Then he took the ticket and entered the station to take the train.
It is not the peak tourist season, so there are very few people coming and going on the platform. However, since Tokyo is the departure station, the deserted scene may be because some people have already entered the train in advance.
As Jiang Xia walked down the steps leading to the platform, he leaned on the railing and glanced down. First he saw Gin, who was wearing high-end murderous aura and was unusually conspicuous on the platform.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on a tall and thin middle-aged man in front of the next car.
The middle-aged man wore a pair of metal-rimmed glasses and had a high middle parting in his hairline. He followed another older man obediently and whispered something.
Different from the respectful and humble expression, murderous aura was surging beside him. Although it was not a high-end murderous aura, in the eyes of the psychic, it was still a beautiful scenery.
Jiang Xia briefly looked at this migrant worker who was completely different in heart and appearance, and then looked at the boss who was following him.
Jiang Xia had seen this boss's photo - it was on the cleaning list given by Ginjiu.
This man's name is Izumo Keitaro, he is the owner of a jewelry store in Fugu City and a well-known rich man.
But in fact, more of Keitaro Izumo's source of income than the jewelry business is drug trafficking.
In Gin's plan, the order of getting rid of Izumo's boss was placed relatively low.
Jiangxia initially thought that Gin made this decision because in this drug line, the threat of Keitaro Izumo, a self-employed businessman, was relatively small and there was no need to deal with it in a hurry.
But now, after seeing the store manager following Keitaro Izumo and remembering the social status of Boss Izumo, Jiangxia gradually had new suspicions.
——Gin was in no hurry to take action, perhaps because Furuichi City was running for mayor recently, and Keitaro Izumo happened to be one of the candidates.
To assassinate the mayoral candidate at this time is indeed likely to cause a big stir. It is better to wait until the election subsides. Anyway, the chance of Boss Izumo being selected is slim.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xia walked down the last few steps, got into the car, and found her private room.
He put away his luggage, stretched out, and planned to walk around the area to see if Conan and the others were in the car.
However, as soon as he reached the door, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
...is the cell phone used to communicate with the organization.
Jiang Xia took out her phone, unlocked it and checked it.
I saw vodka instead of gin and sent a message:
[Encounter with dk07. We will blow up this carriage and kill the target according to the situation. We will send you a message ten minutes before we start. Remember to go out in time and evacuate with us. During this period, in order to avoid being seen or leaving images
, try not to go out]
Jiang Xia: "..."
He just guessed that Gin placed Keitaro Izumo's assassination so low because he didn't want to cause trouble during the mayoral campaign.
Not even a minute after he came to this conclusion, Gin told him with practical actions that this was not the case.
...It is because his understanding of organizational behavior patterns is not deep enough. Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.
After that, his eyes moved to the number.
"dk07" should refer to Keitaro Izumo - Jiang Xia remembered that on the assassination list he saw, there was indeed a parenthetical note after Keitaro Izumo's name, which contained exactly these characters.
Speaking of which, just a few targets who are not even peripheral members actually get temporary numbers... Has this kind of thing existed in the organization before?
Jiang Xia recalled carefully and found that he could not access the important list. But in his impression, unimportant people seemed to refer to whoever killed whom.
...The organization seems to be becoming more and more formal. I hope that this strange change that keeps pace with the times will not affect his ability to pick up ghosts while paddling.
While Jiang Xia was distracted, she reflexively typed "received" in the reply column.
After typing and about to send it, he came to his senses, deleted these two words again, and typed in new words:
[Why don't you let me try it first. In fact, I have made some preparations for today.
It's still a long way to Tottori, and if I don't succeed, it's still too late to set off a bomb.]
Let's not talk about the power of bombs. The fact that it is difficult to effectively use the shikigami shot by Gin makes Jiang Xia feel that he must try to avoid letting Gin take action.
After editing, click Send.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the phone vibrated again.
This time, it’s no longer Vodka’s ghostwritten reply.
It was a message directly from Gin: [His destination is also Tottori?]
