Chapter 685 It's not like the person they're waiting for
Kyushu, Kumamoto Airport.
A promotional banner for the 'Fire Nation Cup' was hung in the airport lobby. This time there were not only children's competitions, but also the semi-finals and finals of the professional tennis group.
After getting off the plane, the three children were very happy.
Ayumi: "We're here!"
Mitsuhiko: “We’ve arrived in Kyushu!”
Genta: "Kumamoto is here!"
Mouri Kogoro, who was suffering from indigestion yesterday and felt depressed, cheered up and said, "Let's drink soju!"
Fei Chi shouted excitedly, "I'm eating horse meat sashimi!"
The others stared at Mouri Kogoro speechlessly.
Chi Feichi: "..."
Okay, I'll buy horse meat sashimi for Fei Chi tonight.
At the exit of the airport, tennis news was playing on the TV: "The semi-finals of the 'Fire Nation Cup' Charity Tennis Competition will be held today..."
"It's Mr. Ma Yuan!" Bumi's eyes lit up, she ran to the screen and looked up, "That's what he said about meeting at the competition two days ago!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta saw familiar faces and approached them.
"It turns out that he also came to participate in the Fire Nation Cup." Mitsuhiko sighed.
"His hometown seems to be Kumamoto. This time there is a charity tennis match held in his hometown, so it is normal for him to come back to support." Conan said.
Yuantai looked yearning, "The promotional poster is really cool!"
"What do you brats know?" Suzuki Sonoko stepped forward and looked at the next group of contestants that popped up on the screen, "As for the really handsome ones..."
The next set of promotional posters was playing on the TV: "The second round match is between Masato Tachikawa, also from Kumamoto, and Mike Woven from the UK..."
Suzuki Sonoko clasped her hands beside her cheeks, looking intoxicated, "Masato-sama is the most handsome~!"
The others half-moon glanced at the nymphomaniac Suzuki Sonoko.
Mitsuhiko said unconvinced, "I think Brother Chi will be better than him."
Ayumi nodded and added, "Although I have never seen Brother Chi playing tennis..."
Yuantai was confused, "But how can we beat professional players like them!"
Mitsuhiko said helplessly, "Genta, please take a closer look at the schedule."
"This competition is divided into professional group, youth group, and juvenile group," Chi Feichi explained. "You are participating in the youth group. You will not compete with professional players or contestants over the age of twelve."
"Moreover, the competition between the professional group and the youth group has already started," Haihara Ai said with a calm face and a leisurely tone, "Today is the semi-finals of the top four of the professional group, and in the afternoon it is the competition to select the top 16 of the youth group.
, The professional group will have a day off tomorrow, and the youth group will determine the top eight in the morning. The day after tomorrow, there will be the youth group's eight-to-four game, and then it will be the first game of our youth group. Multiple games will be held at the same time, using team planning.
The top four teams will be directly selected based on points, and then there will be a lunch break. The first game in the afternoon will also be our game, which is the semi-finals of the top four, followed by the finals of the professional group, which will be played the day after tomorrow.
At the end, there will be an awards ceremony, and the morning after tomorrow will be the finals of our junior group, and the afternoon will be the finals of the youth group, and then the organizer will award us awards together with the previous champions of the professional group."
"Xiao Ai remembers it very clearly." Mao Lilan sighed.
Conan laughed dryly in his heart, he also knew the schedule.
To put it simply, they are just making up the numbers.
For professional group competitions, there is one day of competition and one day of rest.
There is only one competition per day for the youth group.
Only their youth group competitions ended in a hurry in two days, with competitions in the morning and afternoons.
But it is understandable, after all, they are all children participating. They have left their hometown and been in Kumamoto for a long time, so there may be trouble. Moreover, they are all short net games, and the amount of activity is not large. Playing two games in one day will not be too tiring.
"There are only four players in each team, right?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the five members of the Junior Detective Team, as if they were just watching the excitement, and asked, "Who among the five of you are going to sit on the bench and be the substitute?"
"We have already discussed it," Mitsuhiko said with a serious face. "The first game will be participated by me, Genta, Ayumi and Haibara. In the semi-finals, Conan will replace Haibara. We will choose to participate according to the status in the finals."
people, in this case, everyone will have a chance to play!”
Hui Yuan Ai lowered his eyes and remained silent.
It's good to participate in the first knockout match. There are many people participating. With so many people competing at the same time, there will be much less TV footage.
As for the semi-finals and finals, they attracted too much attention, so she didn't plan to participate. She could just go and cheer for the children.
When Suzuki Sonoko saw that the excitement was gone, she immediately lost interest and said, "You little brat, you really don't have any sense of humor!"
"I think this is very good," Mao Lilan said with a smile, "Everyone participated, and everyone sweated for the team and the victory. No matter what the result is, it is something worth remembering and commemorating!"
"I said, are you still leaving?" Mouri Kogoro urged silently as he stood at the airport exit.
Without further delay, a group of people went to the hotel to put away their things and had lunch together.
Chi Feichi sent the "Morandi Colors" PPT package to Chi Janai's mailbox. Without waiting for a reply, he took his five children to report and register, and by the way, he also had to get everyone's admission certificates.
When we got back to the hotel, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. Chi Feichi brought Feichi a piece of horse meat sashimi on the way, went back to the hotel restaurant, had something to eat with the others, and then said goodbye and went back to the room.
The others considered that Chi Feichi had run around today and were so upset that no one thought there was anything wrong and did not bother Chi Feichi again.
After Chi Fei returned to the room late, he put down Fei Chi who was eating, found a brown jacket from his backpack, put it on, and left the room alone.
More than an hour later, in a small bar in Jinura Town, Kumamoto, two men wearing black clothes and sunglasses sat quietly in front of the bar, whispering something from time to time.
Behind the bar, the waitress stood at a distance with an embarrassed look on her face and did not interrupt rashly.
If you wear sunglasses in a place like a bar late at night, you don't look like a good person.
Moreover, both men were very strong, so she guessed that they were probably members of a violent society, and she was a little worried that she might endanger her own safety if she said something wrong or heard some secrets.
"jingle!"
The bell at the door rang, and the waitress immediately looked at the door with a smile.
The man in black on the side of the door also looked slightly sideways, and when he realized that a middle-aged man in a brown coat came in, he looked away.
This middle-aged man's back is slightly stooped, his shoulders are slumped, and he has a ponytail tied on the back of his head. His somewhat sallow face has a trace of fatigue and loss. His hands are generous, and there are calluses rubbed out with a paintbrush on his index finger.
, there was some paint on his trousers, he looked like he was a frustrated painter.
If you have been active in the city at night for a long time, you will always encounter some strange people, who may be even stranger in the eyes of others.
But the point is, this middle-aged man doesn't look like the person they are waiting for.
"Hello, welcome!" the waitress greeted with a smile.
The middle-aged man was startled when he saw two big men in black sitting in the bar. He walked to the back of the bar and sat down away from the two people.
The waitress had a reason to stay away from the two big men in black. She felt relieved without showing it on her face. She walked to the corner and asked softly, "What do you need?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before speaking. His voice was a little hoarse and gentle, with a hint of discomfort.
"Give me a gin and tonic, please."
"OK, just a second!"
The waitress went to work making drinks.
The two people in front of the bar were also far away from each other, and there was no intention of having a casual conversation.
A big man in black clothes inside took out his cell phone, looked at it, and then silently sent an email.
"Sorry," the middle-aged man sitting in the corner stood up and looked at the waitress, her eyes still dull and her tone a little tired, "Where is the bathroom?"
The waitress raised her head, "Ah? That door is right behind you..."
The two big men in black glanced sideways and noticed that the other person got up and went to the bathroom, but they didn't pay much attention.
The middle-aged man entered the bathroom, closed the door, locked the door softly, took out his mobile phone, found the call that was hung up just now in the call history, checked the number, and played it back.
The call was quickly connected, and the male voice on the other side was low and gloomy, "Lark, it's been five minutes since the agreed time, haven't you arrived yet?"
"arrive."
Chi Feichi returned to his original voice, lowering it so softly that it was inaudible, but his tone was still calm, "I came here in disguise. Two of our people are here, but the target is not here."
"How's the situation around?"
"No suspicious person found."
"Let's contact you via email first. I'll ask about the situation, and I'll find someone to keep an eye on the goings-on around the bar."
After Gin finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Chi Fei was not in a hurry to go out. He waited for a minute before pressing the flush button of the toilet and went to the sink to wash his hands.
This time when he arrived in Kumamoto, he reported to that person in advance, and then received a mission.
Isn't it difficult? Someone has already been involved in this matter. Rum has been investigating it for a while. The operation started yesterday, and Gin's people were also connected to Rum's people. He only needs to supervise the task process. If necessary
Adjust the action plan from time to time and bring the last items back to Tokyo.
The organization currently has no core members or relatively trustworthy people in Kumamoto. They are all peripheral members. This is the reason why the person asked him to come over to supervise the execution of the task. At the same time, it also means that these people may not be trustworthy. When contacting them,
He must be more careful.
Even Gin couldn't guarantee that the person he arranged was trustworthy. Fei Mo's bird army didn't cover Kumamoto. He didn't want to be enslaved by someone from the secret service.
And he couldn't bring a gun on the plane through the regular way. This time he only brought APTX-4869, a black card disguised with candy wrappers. Coupled with his skills, self-protection and action may be no problem, but he still lacked the ability to hold a gun.
deterrence of people.
After all, he didn't come here to kill anyone this time. The other person said that the target cannot die.
As for injuries...
If the mission requires it, you can give up taking things, directly kidnap the target, and take him to Tokyo. It doesn't matter whether he is injured or not.
But it is very troublesome to bring a big living person back to Tokyo, and he has to escort the car, which is even more troublesome...
When Chi Fei slowly washed his hands, Gin's email was also sent.
[Their explanation is that the target and his companions suddenly left the bar early, and Rum's people had already followed. They were worried about alerting the target, so they stayed in the bar temporarily, waiting for you.——Gin]
