Chapter 523: Old classmate, you want to live up to your expectations. Please vote for me ()
The Conan brand chewing gum, which has achieved great success many times, failed to come in handy this time.
It was quickly wrapped in a handkerchief along with the bug and the transmitter, and was thrown into the ditch without mercy, waiting quietly for the policemen who arrived later to pick it up.
Of course, when Toru Amuro secretly threw away the bug and transmitter, his back was turned to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia was not able to see it directly.
——Although Toru Amuro knew a lot about the people who secretly planted bugs, as a "Bourbon", he suddenly found bugs and transmitters in his car after his first contact with the police. He should not let them go lightly.
Get through this.
Therefore, after leaving the foreign bugs with the public security men, Toru Amuro secretly took out another handkerchief, put a bug that he carried with him inside, and pretended to bring these suspicious items back to the car for tracing.
responsibility.
…
Soon, Toru Amuro returned to the car with a bug in hand and a very organized sneer, and gave Jiang Xia a sinister look.
The acting skills of the undercover agent are still very good. Looking at his expression, Jiang Xia thought of the murderous gin for a moment... However, it is a pity that the boss obviously does not have such abundant murderous intent. He is like those gluttons displayed in the hotel windows.
The human mold looks delicious, but in reality it cannot be used to satisfy hunger.
Matsuda Jinpei floated beside him, looking around, feeling complicated. He didn't know whether it was because his old classmates were intimidating underage Miyoshi employees for no reason, or because there was a source of mellow coffee-scented murderous aura just around the corner.
This source rarely shows murderous intent...
In short, both humans and ghosts are disappointed.
Jiang Xia then became a little embarrassed: "I don't know what happened. Maybe some reporter who sneaked into the scene heard that I had a confidential request, so he secretly released this?"
This kind of mournful reaction is actually quite reasonable. After all, in Toru Amuro's opinion, Jiang Xia should not know that he is a police officer, but should regard him as "Bourbon", a ruthless organizational cadre.
But now, things like bugs and transmitters were suddenly discovered in the car, and a small section of their movement track was actually discovered. This was undoubtedly an oversight.
Any omissions mean that the pot needs to be divided. At this time, the only living creatures around are Bourbon and Jiang Xia - these two people who are each other's superior and subordinate on the surface.
For this kind of thing, the blame must not be placed on the boss. Then Jiang Xia can only take the lead.
Toru Amuro responded to Jiang Xia's explanation about the source of the bug with a cold snort with zero murderous intent.
After changing places, he took out his laptop and tapped away, pretending to be following clues using the bug he had just intercepted.
Of course, because it was his own bugging device, nothing was found. The unknown person had stuck the bugging device under his car with chewing gum, and he had just thrown it into the ditch.
…
After acting cautiously for a while, Toru Amuro closed the computer, looked at Jiang Xia carefully for a while, who seemed a little nervous, then stepped on the accelerator and continued on the road to leave Tokyo.
He knew in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Xia.
——Jiang Xia is very aware that he carries a lot of anti-eavesdropping equipment and has the habit of turning on these devices at any time. In addition, Amuro Toru paid attention to Jiang Xia's words and deeds during the whole process just now to prevent Jiang Xia from passing through someone if he is Usa.
He wanted to spread the news in some way. So he knew best that Jiang Xia had no time to pretend to be such a thing, and he had no time to let others pretend.
Since it's not Jiangxia, then...
An increasingly suspicious Conan once again appeared in Toru Amuro's mind.
Now, more than half of the household registration survey for "Edogawa Conan" has been carried out. Since various places are not yet fully connected to the Internet, this work is not proceeding as fast as expected.
However, it won't take long.
... Calculating the time, when the experiment on Jiangxia is over, the household registration will be able to find out the results.
Tohru Amuro thought that by then, if it was confirmed that Eka was not Usa, then he would focus his energy on that "Edogawa Conan".
His intuition told him that there might be some big secret behind this matter.
…
After taking care of the bugs and transmitters, the two people continued to drive in the direction Amuro Toru randomly selected.
At the same time, where Toru Amuro had left her chewing gum, a man in sportswear, who looked like he was running at night, passed by and knelt down to tie his shoelaces.
When he stood up again, he had a handkerchief secretly in his hand.
——It’s the one wrapped in chewing gum that Toru Amuro threw away before.
...According to Mr. Furitani, there is a transmitter inside.
Their new task was to arrange for one or two people to take the transmitter to another place that was different from the direction Mr. Furiya left.
…
The way out of the city was quite boring.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to check the news out of habit, or greet the clients on the list, or ask Ginjiu if there was any work that he was too busy with. If so, he could give him some...
It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone now.
Jiang Xia sighed quietly and glanced at the storage box containing the mobile phone.
In my impression, when he was at the scene of the car accident just now, his mobile phone had been secretly taken away by Yuya Kazami.
At this time, there were only two mobile phones of the same model that looked the same in the storage box.
Although it is difficult for Toru Amuro's subordinates to find problems on his mobile phone with the black plug-ins of two big tech celebrities, it really delays daily use. The police officers really have no moral ethics when it comes to infringing on personal privacy...
However, thinking of this, a series of cases that Jiang Xia encountered when she and Amuro Toru went out came to mind.
... Actually, if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem like a loss if the police uses his mobile phone and he uses the police’s boss.
If you can't play with your mobile phone, just focus on picking up ghosts these days.
...I hope the boss will not disappoint.
…
Toru Amuro felt a little cold around him for no reason.
It may be that the wind is strong and the temperature is low in the countryside.
Of course, it may also be because you are hungry and don’t have enough calories...
After thinking about it, Amuro Toru's ears twitched and she looked to the side.
Seeing the employees he abducted, they seemed to have the same feeling at this time. Jiang Xia was flipping through a pile of snacks - when he was waiting to take notes just now, he didn't know what Miyamoto Yumi said after returning, which attracted a lot of attention.
The female police officers came to watch Jiang Xia. These snacks were small gifts they brought along. Gifts given by others were not easy to throw away, so Jiang Xia later brought them to the car.
Toru Amuro glanced at the fancy snack packaging and felt vaguely hungry.
...It’s indeed dinner time, let’s have a meal before leaving.
He thought for a moment and drove to a nearby higher-end restaurant.
…
The white Mazda turned in several directions in the night and soon arrived at a manor-like hotel.
The location here is a bit remote, but there are many seasonal vegetables grown around it, and fish, chickens, ducks, etc. are also caught and killed on the spot. Apart from the price, there are no other disadvantages, so there are not many people who come here because of its reputation.
