"Yeah." Vodka responded calmly and avoided Jiang Xia's hand calmly.
The two of them entered the club one after the other.
Vodka: "..." Calm down, the silver needle is just a prank, or it may really be just a coincidence. In short, you can't mess up your position, otherwise you will lose if you panic.
And we have to believe in Brother Gin - since he is gone, it means that he thinks Uzo’s problem is not big, and his vision and judgment are definitely right!
…
Jiang Xia didn't know how many thoughts passed through Vodka's heart at that moment.
Turning around and taking a look, Jiang Xia nodded secretly with satisfaction when she saw that the vodka was indeed quite stable.
After all, Vodka is positioned as "Mr. Yamada, a well-known fan" and "an admirer of famous detectives". If he is always startled when he walks next to him like he was when he saw pine needles just now, it will be too easy to betray him.
But now this calm and slightly nervous reaction can be explained as "the excitement and nervousness of working with idols", which is just right.
Jiang Xia: "..." I didn't expect that Vodka's acting skills are pretty good. From this point of view, besides his murderous taste, he does have many other advantages...
…
Enter the club and report your membership number.
Jiang Xia brought vodka to the reserved box.
There are still a few minutes left in the appointment time with Kinoshita Yoko.
Jiang Xia pointed to the box of vodka in his hand. This was the "Detective Assistant Toolbox" he had prepared for his colleague:
"There are various commonly used tools and documents that may be used. It's just that the documents were temporarily made based on your identity as 'Yamada' and are a bit rough... Fortunately, it's just a one-time identity, for temporary use.
No problem - of course, if you like, you can make a more realistic set and save it for next time.”
Vodka said coldly and briefly: "Okay."
...Hmph, next time?
——Burn it when you get back.
It always feels unlucky to keep anything with Uzo's breath around.
...Of course, there is no need to burn the poster as a meeting gift - the cute aura of the idols is enough to break through Uzo's gloomy aura.
Vodka secretly took stock of what he had harvested during this trip, and quickly and coldly determined their destination.
…
When Vodka quickly looked through the tools and documents in the box and wrote down the details.
Jiang Xia was so bored that he sat on the chair next to him and leaned on the back of the chair to watch the vodka work while pulling him to talk nonsense:
"Although 80% of it won't be used, you must remember your identity as 'Taro Yamada' - you are a big fan of many celebrities, a wealthy tech geek, and you don't like to go out. You are only very active in chasing stars. Before
You fell in love with me for a while, so you reluctantly wanted to be my assistant and experience the life of a famous detective. You happened to have good hacking skills, as well as many skills that a private detective might use. I was attracted by your
Moved by my enthusiasm and love for detective work, I finally agreed to take you out to handle some commissions and try to make you my assistant."
"...Oh." Vodka just felt the magic sound filling his brain, and he didn't want to remember a single word.
He hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "What exactly are you going to do later?"
Vodka was actually a little confused: Uzo had said before that he needed his help in the assassination of Thomas Sindora.
But the best time to start - the game conference is held tomorrow.
But Uzo only asked him "Are you free tonight?" and completely ignored his arrangements for tomorrow.
...As far as Vodka knows, Gin asked Uzo a few questions last night. However, in the end, except for an increase in blood pressure, he found nothing.
It's something that even Brother Gin can't ask, Vodka thought. Asking it yourself would probably be awkward. But now, seeing that Uzo's plan is about to begin, maybe he will reveal it a little bit in advance?
Jiang Xia heard the question and turned to look at him: "When you should know, you will know it. When you shouldn't know, even if you tell me, you still don't know."
Vodka: "...#"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Someone came.
Vodka closed the detective tool box alertly, fastened the buckle, put it next to the seat, and sat upright again as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Xia glanced at him, waited for him to finish packing, then walked over and opened the door.
Kinoshita Yoko's figure was revealed outside the door.
She said hello happily, walked into the room, and looked Jiang Xia up and down: "I always feel like you have become thinner. No matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time."
As he said that, Kinoshita Yoko handed over an exquisite gift box: "This is the Yatsuhashi cake that Reina brought back from her business trip to Kyoto - today's dinner may be a while away. If you are hungry, eat these first."
Xiaobai happily floated over and landed on the snack box, like a translucent human-shaped mochi.
Jiang Xia silently glanced at this less reserved guy and responded. He took the snacks and his own ghost from Kinoshita Yoko's hand.
Almost at the same time, the waiter knocked on the door and pushed in a dining cart with some other exquisite refreshments.
…
After the waiter leaves.
Yoko Kinoshita took off her hat and mask and sat down at the table.
She looked at the vodka aside, smiled, and greeted proactively: "Hello, it's the assistant friend Jiang Xia mentioned."
Vodka nodded, stood up and shook hands with her reservedly: "Hello, I am Taro Yamada."...Miss Yoko! It turned out to be the real Miss Yoko!
Vodka looked at the living idol across the table who could talk, laugh, and move, and a bright firework exploded in his heart.
While shaking hands, facing Kinoshita Yoko's slightly curious gaze, Vodka's face blushed faintly, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the side.
Then he happened to catch Uzuo’s smiling gaze.
"..."
It was like a basin of ice water pouring down.
Vodka wakes me up quickly.
He did not continue to be immersed in the joy of "suddenly holding hands with a top idol". The outstretched hand moved away as soon as it touched it, like a ruthless thug.
"..." You can't reveal your hobbies too obviously. That will definitely be regarded as a weakness by Uzo and exploited.
…I don’t know if this restraint measure is effective.
Vodka discovered that Uzo's eyes did not stay on him too much.
…
Jiang Xia looked at the closed door of the room, then at the three sets of tableware on the table, and asked Kinoshita Yoko: "Isn't it convenient for the friend you mentioned who encountered a stalker and needs the help of a detective to come over today?"
Although Jiang Xia knew in her heart that the friend would not come, on the surface, she still should have asked.
——In the past, when Kinoshita Yoko had a friend who needed a detective, he would bring the friend over, and then the three of them would discuss it in this high-security club.
This club has become a small branch of a detective agency, specializing in receiving celebrities that Kinoshita Yoko knows.
