A black car stopped at the entrance of Xianqiao Station, which was under construction.
Wearing a hat and an unusually broad chin, Distillery Loyalist Vodka stepped out of the car, still holding the mobile phone in his hand.
"Okay, keep a tight watch around the station... Don't let even a mouse escape."
He hung up the phone, locked the car door, and walked toward Xianqiao Station with a flashlight.
The sound of black leather shoes colliding with the ground sounded on the dark and empty stairs, and Vodka grinned.
Before coming, because he had agreed with Itakura Taku to advance the delivery time, he specifically asked his colleagues in the organization to find more people and bring guns.
Because he felt that the guy might be so scared that he would call the police.
From the very beginning, the organization did not want to let this system engineer who had dealt with the organization survive. The reason why the Xianqiao Station, which was under construction, was chosen was to eliminate the ban after the transaction without making a big fuss.
Cang Zhuo.
Of course, he also informed people in the organization about the changes in trading hours and asked them to report to the Gin boss temporarily.
"Tsk...that guy Itakura hasn't arrived yet..."
Vodka soon arrived at the bottom floor of Xianqiao Station, but he looked around with a flashlight and found no trace of his transaction partner, Taku Itakura.
He was holding a cigarette in his mouth and pacing impatiently in the aisles, when he suddenly noticed something that seemed to be stuck in the crack of a locker door.
"Cheque?"
Vodka stepped forward, shined his flashlight on the cabinet door, and quickly identified what was caught in the crack of the cabinet door.
"Isn't this the reward we gave Itakura..."
He took off the check, opened the cabinet door, and saw a CD in a plastic box lying quietly in the locker.
He quickly understood that this was the software that the organization asked Itakura Taku to write.
"That idiot was so scared that he only left his things and ran away without even taking the money..."
He blew out the burnt cigarette butt and reached for the box that was fixed in the locker with scotch tape.
【Okay! Taken the bait!】
Edogawa Conan, who was hiding in the darkness and observing, felt happy.
"It's me. That guy Itakura should be nearby. Catch him and bring him here..."
Vodka dialed the phone and said to his companions outside.
His voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "What? There were only 4 or 5 drunkards and a child who just walked into this station?"
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he had not been noticed by the people from the organization watching around him.
But before he could be happy for long, he heard a deep, creepy male voice suddenly appear.
"What are you doing..."
Vodka felt a hard object pressing against the back of his head.
He let go of the phone from his ear and didn't dare to move: "Boss, boss?"
【Gin!】
Alarm bells rang in Conan's heart.
"The trading time should be midnight tomorrow night..." Gin's voice was cold.
"The guy said he was inconvenient tomorrow, so he moved the time forward... I decided to move the time forward myself. The guy said there was a power outage when I was collecting mail in the villa, so I talked to him directly on the phone.
of."
Beads of sweat broke out on Vodka's head, and he was so frightened by the murderous aura on Gin that he didn't dare to act rashly.
After listening to his explanation, Gin finally put down the gun pointed at him and frowned.
"It's a pity that I didn't kill that guy with my own hands, but now that the software has been obtained, his heart disease has worsened seriously. Even if we leave it alone, he won't live long..."
"Hmph..." Gin sneered, "Do you know why the outer box of this software is covered with tape?"
Without waiting for Vodka to answer, he snatched the plastic box from his hand.
"This is to leave your fingerprints...if you're wearing gloves, you can't take off the tape."
Vodka was startled.
"Also, as long as the person you are waiting for has not arrived, you will smoke when you are anxious..."
Gin squatted down as he spoke. As soon as he picked up the cigarette butts that Vodka had spit out on the ground, the two of them suddenly heard a third voice at the entrance:
"If you take the saliva remaining on the cigarette butt and examine it, you can find out quite a lot..."
Gin suddenly stood up and looked at the person with Vodka.
On the other side of the locker, Edogawa Conan's mind went blank when he heard this extremely familiar voice.
Yuanhuaiyu!
"Why are you here?"
Gin asked coldly.
"I was passing by here on some business and saw someone from the organization ambushing around Xianqiao Station. I was wondering if there might be any acquaintances down there..."
Yuan Huaiyu walked up to the two of them with a chuckle.
"I didn't expect it to be you two old acquaintances. Why, don't you welcome me?"
"Whatever you want." Ginjiu didn't want to say another word to Yuan Huaiyu.
Ke Yuanhuaiyu would not let him get what he wanted, so he picked up the plastic box in his hand quite naturally.
"What are you doing here? What is this thing?"
"You don't need to know." Ginjiu took the box from Yuan Huaiyu's hand and opened it.
"Hey, isn't this a signal transmitter? Did you almost get tricked? It's really rare..."
Yuan Huaiyu was amazed when he saw a tiny device attached to an inconspicuous place on the box.
Gin's expression turned even worse: "It seems that guy even wants to search out our base... He is a guy as smart as a fox..."
"That guy Itakura!"
Vodka finally realized that he had almost caused a big disaster and said through gritted teeth.
The ferocious expression looked like he was about to tear Itakura Taku alive.
"No, it shouldn't be Itakura. Excessive temperature changes will stimulate the sympathetic nerves and increase the burden on the heart. Taku Itakura, who has heart disease, will never seek death and brave a snowstorm to run to a villa in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture...
"
Hearing these words, Conan Edogawa felt a trace of despair in his heart.
From Gunma County to Xianqiao Station, when you think of these two keywords, it is impossible for Yuanhuaiyu not to think of him and Dr. Ali who were hitchhiking in the mountains of Gunma County to Xianqiao Station.
And even more despair is yet to come.
"Then the man who talked to me on the phone..."
Vodka said urgently.
"I'm afraid he hired a helper, but unfortunately he miscalculated. Although the fingerprints on this box have been wiped off, there is still some residual warmth..."
Gin's words were cold to the bone.
Yuan Huaiyu's voice sounded: "In other words, the person who almost tricked you is probably nearby..."
"You're all here. As a colleague, let me help you."
Gin and Vodka watched as the man shook his flashlight and pointed it behind him.
"I'll look for this side, you guys look for the other side."
Gin was about to say "It's none of your business", but in the end he held back his words and gave Yuan Huaiyu the face. Without saying a word, together with Vodka holding a flashlight, they searched left and right.
Lockers on their side.
As for Edogawa Conan, he was right behind the locker behind Yuanhuaiyu.
Hearing the footsteps of the three people, his heart was beating like a drum.
