Downstairs, after Nagisa Isogai returned home, he yawned and his eyesight became much clearer. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Chi Fei.
[Dad, I heard that you have a cold? Judy is leaving Japan. It’s like resigning from school. Today, two of her students are having a farewell party at her house. I heard them say that you are sick. The doctor also said that you should try not to talk.
, I just want to send you a text message to tell you that I think Judy is a bit strange. Looking at her palms, arms and other places, she should have been practicing fighting and marksmanship. She is not like ordinary people, but she is an American, and she seems to be still.
She has a rich father, so maybe she developed her interest since childhood. I didn’t pay attention to it at first, but she seemed to be testing me some time ago, so I paid attention to it.】
【When will she test you?】
It's still her father's style, just get used to it.
Isogai Nagisa was typing and sending text messages while going to the bathroom.
[I’m not sure when she started, but her curiosity was a bit excessive and seemed abnormal. By the way, she also asked me about you and how we met. I also know about you, dad.
Not much, so I didn’t hide it deliberately. I wanted to see what she was going to do, but she suddenly decided to leave... Dad, do you think she will be an agent sent by the United States to Japan to find out confidential information? Now that the intel is done, she is ready
Go back and make a business trip.]
In an apartment building a few streets away, Chi Feichi flipped through a large text message.
Nagisa Isogai is also the daughter of a shadow planner. Although she has not learned from her father who is good at planning bank robberies, she is still quite sharp.
The speculation about Judy’s identity is also on point.
Without waiting for Chi Fei's late reply, the phone vibrated and a new text message was sent over.
【Should we call the police? No, this kind of thing should be reported to the public security police? Or the diplomatic department?】
Isogai Nagisa asked seriously, completely unaware that he had turned a beautiful friendship into a plastic friendship.
She really didn't mean to be drunk tonight, she was just used to it... Well, ever since she discovered that Judy behaved strangely, she would be on guard every time she drank with Judy, pretending to be drunk, but actually being very sober, for fear of Judy
What information was obtained from her?
Although she didn't have anything worthy of the spy agents' attention, her father did.
Her father is the heir to a multinational group. Who knows if someone might want to do something to harm her father.
Chi Fei received the text message late, thought about it carefully, and quickly gave up the idea.
He wanted to give Judy a free tour of the Metropolitan Police Department. The two FBI agents were not deterred by his behavior of entering the Metropolitan Police Department during the day and followed him all the way. Now that the shift has changed, the new person who took over is still squatting downstairs.
When he meets Gin tomorrow, he still has to drag his 'sick body' to walk the rope and cross the building, but...
Without evidence, it is difficult for the police to investigate Judy based on Nagisa Isogai's words alone. And if Judy is detained by the Metropolitan Police Department, it may lead to uncertain changes in the plot.
【Without evidence, the police will not believe it, and she is not the kind of person who allows others to be guests at home while getting drunk herself.】
【That's right, that's probably because I'm too suspicious. Then dad, you should go to bed early and remember to take your cold medicine!】
Chi Fei, an ordinary citizen, read Nagisa Isogai's text message late, put his cell phone on the table, silently scrolled through the images captured by the crows' pinhole cameras, and asked Hiroki Sawada to identify the images of people who were definitely FBI and those who were suspected of being FBI.
Cut it out, organize it, and file it.
Hiroki Sawada helped cut out and insert the full-body photos, face photos, and car photos.
He is responsible for recording the clues he has observed in the past few days, such as height, body shape, text descriptions of appearance, whether he is left-handed or right-handed, small habits when moving, current location, the model and license plate of the car he drives...
Of course it also includes information about Shuichi Akai and Judy.
Having both children is truly a blessing.
…
The next day, five o'clock in the afternoon.
Next to a telephone pole at the entrance of an alley, a man in his forties was leaning against the wall. He had short, messy black hair, a Chinese character face, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets with dark circles, and blue wrinkles in unattractive places.
He wears a sexy suit and looks like a depressed middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man held a mobile phone in one hand and put it to his ear to listen to the call. He lowered his head and the wrinkles beside his lowered eyebrows showed fatigue and weakness, as if he was suffering a heavy blow from society and reality.
People passing by in the distance did not pay much attention, and naturally they had no way of knowing that when the man whispered, his voice was clear, calm and young, and there was no sense of slump in his eyebrows.
“Vermouth?”
“Yeah,” said Mao Li Landao on the other side of the phone. “It’s a very strange English, probably a name or something like that. I want to ask you if you have ever heard of this type of English.”
“I’ve heard of it,” Chi Feichi said.
Mao Lilan was surprised, "Where, where?"
“It’s a kind of aromatic wine.” Chi Feichi said and coughed twice, “Teacher Maoli, do you want to drink?”
"Uh, no, no..." Mao Lilan's bean-eyed, calmed down, then continued, "My father received a boring letter with a strange signature and some provocative words in it. I was wondering if it was...
It will be made by someone who hates him, and will it be sent to his acquaintances, so I want to ask you if you have received it..."
"I have been... well, I haven't gone out much recently, and I haven't checked the mailbox."
“Well, then you don’t need to read it, so as not to affect your mood. Brother Chi, your cold is still not gone?”
"today is much better."
Chi Feichi told the truth.
In the morning, he used a slide rope to disguise himself, left the building next door, and went to visit the area where Chizo Fukuura, the producer of the "Ghost Captain" series, lives.
By the afternoon, although his general fatigue had not diminished, his symptoms of sore throat and chest tightness had improved a lot, and his coughing was no longer so frequent.
"Then it seems that staying at home and resting is very useful. If it's Brother Chi, then you should have a good rest and be careful not to blow the wind, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the cold worsens."
“I know, I’m not in the mood to run around.”
On the second floor of the Maori Detective Agency, Mao Lilan stood in front of Maori Kogoro's desk. After hanging up the phone, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Uncle, don’t move, I’m going to add another eye for you!” Suzuki Sonoko was helping Mouri Kogoro put on ghost makeup on his face.
Mouri Kogoro sat on the sofa, holding a mirror to look at his face, and said depressedly, "I would rather be a handsome Mr. Vampire."
Mao Lilan turned her back to the two of them and dialed Dr. A Li's home phone number with a serious face.
“Ah, doctor, it’s me, I’m Xiaolan.”
“Xiaolan, what’s the matter with you calling me?”
“Well, I want to ask you, do you know anyone named Vermouth?”
"Vermouth?" Dr. Ali pretended to be stupid when he received the call, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I haven't heard of this name."
Beside, Conan held an envelope signed "Vermouth" and looked down at it solemnly.
Hui Yuan Ai sat on the bed wearing a mask and said nothing.
"The office received a very strange letter, signed like this. It contained some cryptic words, inviting my father to attend a cruise ship costume party in Yokohama the day after tomorrow, and provocatively saying that only those who bravely accept challenges are considered Tokyoites," Maori said.
Lan wondered, "Brother Fei Chi said that was the name of the wine..."
“Wine, wine name?!”
Dr. Ali exclaimed and lost his voice. He realized that he had lost his composure. He calmed down and changed his expression, "That's what Fei Chi said. Then... is he at the detective agency?"
.
.
The two little heads instantly moved next to the receiver held by Dr. A Li.
Haihara Ai and Conan knelt down neatly on the table where the landline phone was placed, eavesdropping with serious expressions on their faces.
“No, I was wondering if he would also receive this kind of invitation letter. I called him before to ask.”
“Well, what did he say?”
"His cold doesn't seem to be over yet. He sounds quite energetic, but he is coughing. He said he hasn't gone out much in the past two days and hasn't looked at the mailbox. I don't know if he has received that kind of letter," Mao Lilan hesitated.
, still didn’t talk about the photos she saw at Judy’s house, although she had a bad premonition, but what if it was a misunderstanding, “But he said ‘Vermouth’ is a kind of aromatic wine, and asked me if Dad wanted to
Drinking..."
“Really,” Dr. Ali pretended to be casual, “are you planning to go to that invitation?”
“Dad is already getting ready, and Yuanzi is helping him put on makeup.”
"make up?"
"Yes, the letter said that since it is a Halloween costume party, please dress up like a monster and wear black clothes or skirts with your companions, so Dad and Yuanzi are preparing. As for Brother Fei Chi, he said he has not
His mood is running wild, plus he has a cold, so he won’t go to the sea to enjoy the sea breeze again.”
Dr. Ali breathed a sigh of relief, "What about you? Xiaolan, are you planning to go too?"
“How could I go to a party full of monsters and monsters?!” Mao Lilan roared in panic.
Dr. Ali: “……”
Just hearing it makes me scared. It seems that Xiaolan will not go.
Mao Lilan calmed down, felt a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice again, "Doctor, have you ever received such a strange letter?"
"No."
“So how is Xiao Ai’s condition? Is the cold better?”
"It's better than the previous two days, but I still have a bit of a cough and fever," Dr. Ali couldn't help but sigh. "The recent colds seem to be stubborn, and I probably need to rest for two more days."
"Then let her have a good rest," Mao Lilan only saw her on the mirror in Judy's bathroom. Chi Feichi and Conan's photo were marked with red letters. She didn't think Haibara Ai would be involved, so she paused.
He added, "I still have something to trouble Doctor. The letter attached to the invitation mentioned 'incompetent detective'. I wonder if my father has received such a letter, and Shinichi has also received it."
Could you please go to his mailbox and take a look? If you don’t tell him if there is such a letter, that guy will be very verbose in the future..."
"Okay, then I'll go take a look and call you if I find anything," Dr. Ali looked at Conan, "But I don't think I received it..."
"Also, Doctor, please keep it a secret from Conan. Conan's kid likes to run around. If he goes to that kind of place, he might be involved in danger, and..." Mao Lilan thought of those photos at Judy's house, some of them
Absence.
“And?” Dr. Ali wondered.
Mao Lilan came back to her senses and said covertly, "The winter vacation of elementary school is almost over. Tell him to come home early and stop wandering around outside."
Of the three people whose photos were tagged, she would definitely not go to that kind of party. She wanted to go to Teacher Judy's place to see what Teacher Judy wanted to do. If Brother Chi said she was not in the mood, that was probably true.
She won't go, the only thing that worries her is Conan, but as long as Dr. Ali doesn't say anything and doesn't arouse the child's curiosity, then Conan won't know about the party.
