It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Tokyo to Gunma Prefecture.
But when the vehicle was halfway through the journey, the sky became unsightly and it started to snow heavily.
Upon seeing this, Fujiwara Yu had to slow down the car. Edogawa Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was full of excitement. He obviously did not realize how dangerous this matter was.
To be honest, when he drove out of Tokyo, Fujiwara Yu regretted why he took Kudo with him. If something happened to this guy, he would not be able to continue to complete the mission.
He gripped the steering wheel with a little force, but nothing could happen to him. If he saw the organization later, he had to be kept away.
The vehicle drove into the mountains of Gunma County and followed the GPS navigation to a lonely wooden villa in the forest.
After Yu Fujiwara stopped the car, he looked around carefully and made sure there was nothing unusual before letting Kudo get out of the car.
The two of them walked towards the door together. Just when Fujiwara Yu squatted down and was about to pick the lock, a key was handed out beside him. He asked with some confusion:
"Huh? Where did you find it?"
"Under the stairs, I happened to see something reflecting light."
With the key, there was no need to pick the lock. After the two entered the villa, they did not choose to turn on the lights. Instead, they went to the computer in the dark and successfully found a floppy disk and a letter containing a check in the desk drawer.
Edogawa Conan raised his watch and took a look, and found that there were only five minutes left before receiving the letter. He looked leisurely at Sosuke Takaji, who was sitting at the computer desk with a serious face, and said:
"Brother Yingji, there are still five minutes left. Should we search other places? Maybe there are any clues?"
"It's not necessary. Itakura Taku is planning to leave here, so he won't leave any useful information. Now we just need to know the transaction location."
Five minutes passed quickly. When they saw the computer showing that there was an email coming in, both of them smiled, but the smile did not last long.
Do you need a password to read emails? And you only have ten seconds to enter it!
Fujiwara Yu's face became ugly. Whether he entered the wrong password or not entered the password, he could not solve the problem at hand. He had to watch the countdown end and the email disappear.
Seeing this scene, Edogawa Conan shouted anxiously:
"What should I do, Brother Tingji?! This way they will definitely know that there is a problem, and they will probably rush here!"
"Calm down, you have a bow-tie voice changer, right?" Fujiwara Yu didn't expect that he would keep such a trick. This was indeed his carelessness. Thinking of this, he could only use another way to make the organization believe that Itakura Taku was still alive.
.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"According to the organization's habit, they should call right away, so..."
Before he finished speaking, a sound came from the landline phone. After the two exchanged a look, Edogawa Conan boldly took out the bow-tie voice changer from his pocket and adjusted Itakura Taku's voice with the help of Fujiwara Yu.
Listening to the impatient voice of Vodka on the phone, Edogawa Conan picked up the phone and said:
"Sorry, it's too dark inside the villa. I couldn't find the phone at the moment."
"That's right, are you?"
"I think the circuit in the villa must have been cut off by the snowstorm outside, so I didn't even open the email you sent me just now." Edogawa Conan couldn't help but feel nervous, having such a relationship with the black organization
This was the first time he had a conversation with someone, and he could feel the cold sweat on his forehead.
Vodka frowned, thinking that Itakura Taku was hiding in the mountains of Gunma County, and felt that this kind of thing was quite normal, as the signal there was already very poor.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and sneered:
"Who told you to be in that kind of mountain where birds don't poop... huh? But that's not right. Why does the phone go to voicemail when the power goes out?"
"Because every time it rains or snows in the area of the villa, there will be a power outage, so I use a landline phone that can be installed with batteries."
Edogawa Conan didn't expect that the big guy from Vodka would react quite quickly. Fortunately, he had already thought of a countermeasure, otherwise he would be suspected by the other party if he hesitated. When the time came for the organization to investigate, he and Takaji would be in trouble.
Already.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Edogawa Conan saw the content edited by Takaji Sosuke on his phone, and he read it out:
"But you are really awesome, you actually know that I am here."
"Hmph, as long as there is anything about you, there is nothing we don't know." Vodka curled his lips in disdain. He felt that Itakura Taku was looking down on their organization.
Edogawa Conan asked the question he wanted to know, and he said:
"You won't send someone to monitor the situation of the villa all the time, right?"
"You don't have to be afraid, we won't do this. We promised you that we will never get close to you casually." Vodka curled his lips with a smirk, thinking of today's business, and said: "The most important thing is that
The system software should have been completed, right?"
"Yeah, but I can't turn on the computer due to the power outage here. You'd better just tell me the location. I'll come over and hand over the software to you now, and I can rest."
He lit the cigarette with vodka, slowly blew out a smoke ring, turned to look at the bustling night view of Tokyo, and said with a smile:
"Humph, in that case, I'm only going to say it once and you must listen clearly. You should know the Xianqiao Station that is under construction, right? It is now more grand after being merged with the Dongdu Subway.
Tomorrow at 12 o'clock in the morning, go to the bottom floor and wait for me in front of the coin-operated iron cabinet No. 0032. Then, don't forget to bring the most important system software with you."
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard this time. If it were delayed until tomorrow, the news of Itakura Taku's death would most likely be spread. He thought for a moment and quickly entered a text on his phone and handed it to Conan.
After Edogawa Conan saw it, he nodded hungry and immediately showed off his acting skills:
"No way, I can't leave it to you tomorrow. Because I will be hospitalized for a series of physical examinations starting this evening. You know that, right? My heart is already in bad condition."
"You would say that because the software has not been completed yet and you want to delay it?" Vodka frowned warily. The organization has given Itakura Taku a long time. If the system software cannot be obtained now, that gentleman
Brother Gin will definitely be blamed, huh, we can't let this cunning guy succeed.
"Of course not, I have already finished the software."
"So when can you deliver the goods?"
"About three or four days, just wait until I'm discharged from the hospital."
Vodka frowned, thought of a good idea, and said with a smile:
"Then four hours later, at four o'clock in the morning, you come to see me at the place I just mentioned."
"Four hours? Can't be a little bit..."
"Mr. Itakura, don't forget your identity. Are you qualified to negotiate terms with us? Okay, the call is over. See you in four hours. If you dare not come, you should know the consequences."
The call was hung up, and Edogawa Conan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at Sosuke Takaji next to him and asked:
