Jiang Xia habitually confirmed the location of the surveillance camera, then pulled up her scarf, trying to avoid the passage where she could be photographed, and went down to the negative second floor.
There is a bar called Hegson here. The overall lighting is dim. Standing at the door, you can hear the singing of the resident singer. The singing is not the popular songs, but some elegant music that is not clear.
This kind of contrast makes it difficult for people to think that this is also the organization's py place. If Tequila could maintain this elegant tone, he probably wouldn't have been targeted by Conan so quickly.
Jiang Xia pushed open the door and entered. Before walking in, she suddenly felt a shadow falling next to her.
He turned his head in confusion and saw the bartender reaching out to him with a smile: "Hello, could you please show me your ID? It needs to be the one with your date of birth."
As he spoke, he touched a sign next to him casually. When the sign moved, Jiang Xia subconsciously looked over - this bar is not open to minors.
Jiang Xia: "..."
Jiang Xia: "…………"
Jiang Xia: "???"
...You have to abide by all these rules. Are you really an organization's industry?!
It is definitely not easy to break in forcefully.
Jiang Xia slowly touched his pocket: "I forgot to bring it."
The bartender kept a perfect smile and said without letting up: "Can you go back and get it? We are open all night here, so there will be no delay."
Jiang Xia: "..."
He glanced at the bartender and the bodyguard who was approaching eagerly, turned around and went out, silently took out his cell phone and started writing an email.
…
A minute later, Jiang Xia successfully followed Gin Jiu into the bar and entered a separate booth.
When the two of them walked to the door, Vodka happened to come back from the bar with a few glasses of wine. He saw Gin leaving his original position and asked doubtfully: "Brother, what happened?"
Gin glanced at him silently, and took out a puff of cigarette with a complicated mood: "Next time, try another place."
Vodka: "Huh?"
After a minute, he followed the two of them into the booth, and when he put the wine in front of Jiang Xia, he suddenly understood: "Oh!"
Then he took away the cup he had just put down.
Jiang Xia: "..."
He pretended that nothing happened and retracted his empty hand. Now, he suspected that Vodka was an undercover agent, and he already had subjective evidence.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to have nothing to drink, fortunately they were not here to play today.
Gin quickly got to the point and put a piece of information on the table: "Kill him. The deadline is before the next election."
Assassination?
Jiang Xia took the information and flipped it through. There was a picture of a middle-aged man on the first page. The target looked to be in his early fifties, with a fat build, a mustache, and a bald spot on his head.
Jiang Xia has never seen this person before.
However, when he looked at the text next to the photo, he suddenly had an impression - the information showed that this person's name was Isao Ikemura, an administrative officer to the Minister of Defense and an administrative officer to the Cabinet Office, and a member of the House of Representatives.
In Jiang Xia's eyes, the position is not the key point, the key point is this person's name, Ikemura Isao.
And judging from the spoilers Jiang Xia has... this seems to be the deceased in a certain case.
Behind the information, there was an introduction to Ikemura Isao's family. Jiang Xia turned back the page and became more sure.
"He doesn't usually bring bodyguards with him. It's not difficult to kill him, but the key point is that our existence cannot be exposed in this whole thing." Gin said coldly, "Including training time, you stay in the organization
The time is not short, and we should be very clear about our requirements for 'concealtness'."
Jiang Xia: "..." That's not what you said when you killed passers-by A, B, B and D in the street and fired randomly with a machine gun.
Under Gin's gaze, he said seriously: "I know."
Gin nodded. The second generation of the organization is different from those who were recruited halfway. They are much more worry-free: "After making a plan, submit it to me, and I will assign people to you according to the situation. This is a test for you by the organization.
——If it succeeds, you will become a formal member in the future, but if it fails..." He smiled coldly, "You know the consequences."
Jiang Xia cooperated and showed a little serious expression.
In fact, in his opinion, as long as he sticks to the bottom line of "not exposing the existence of the organization", he should not be silenced if he simply fails to kill someone. The assassination of Isao Ikemura is a major event, and the organization will not really hand over such an important matter to him.
He must have a backup plan in hand, and failure will not delay the great cause of the organization.
In addition, in Jiang Xia's eyes, this is actually a question to get points.
In addition to Ikemura Isao, there were also photos of his family members in the information. When Jiang Xia looked through it, he saw Ikemura Isao's wife, Ikemura Koe.
If I remember correctly, Ikemura Isao will be killed by his wife soon.
A few days ago, Jiang Xia actually met Chicun Gongjiang.
At that time, a rich lady came to him for a commission, and Ikemura Koujie also came over, as if to investigate the situation. However, at that time, Ikemura Koujie did not reveal his name, so Jiang Xia was not able to contact her in the spoiler immediately.
There are actually many differences between the cartoon and the real person. Kimura Ikemura does not have unique features such as Sayan hair, so it is difficult to identify.
In Jiang Xia's impression, visiting the detective agency was a precursor to Kimura Ikemura's murder. In the spoiler, Kimura Ikemura first invited the detective to his home, and then committed the murder under the watchful eye of the detective.
In other words, since she has been to the detective agency recently, she may soon hire a detective and start committing murder... This murder should be completed before the election.
Jiang Xia took over this task.
Of course, you have to take the exam even if you don’t want to. The assessment organized by the organization is not an ordinary test, and there is no option to refuse the exam.
When leaving the bar, Jiang Xia didn't take anything - he didn't have any information about Isao Ikemura either. Gin showed it to him and then took it away.
…
For a period of time after this, Jiang Xia deliberately checked Ikemura Isao's itinerary, but secretly put more energy on Ikemura Koujiang.
All he had to do was go around Chicun Gongjiang or the scene before he committed the crime, and he would be able to get the mission. As for what to say when handing in the mission... he would just make it up based on the situation.
Jiang Xia has a good memory. He recalled the events of the past few days and found that Ikemura Koujiang once accompanied her friend to the detective agency for inspection. He did not come again after that, maybe because he did not take a fancy to Jiang Xia as an "eyewitness".
Therefore, Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Mouri Kogoro's detective agency to check out the situation. Maybe Ikemura Koe was attracted there by some force majeure.
It just so happens that the Yoko Kinoshita peripherals I ordered last time have not yet been handed over to Kogoro Mori. Why not take this opportunity to go and have a look.
If there is no movement there, install a surveillance camera near the Maori house and Ikemura house to observe the situation.
…
Thinking like this, the next day, Jiang Xia did not go to work at the detective agency as usual, but went to the video store to pick up peripherals.
At the same time, the detective agency received an uninvited guest - Hattori Heiji, who followed the address and found him all the way.
Hattori Heiji is a high school detective from Osaka.
Newspapers here often compare two related things, and as one of the popular high school detectives, Hattori Heiji was also unfortunately compared. Someone made up a saying for him - Hattori in the west, Kudo in the east.
.
However, during this period, Kudo Shinichi disappeared, and the detective from the east was replaced by Jiang Xia.
This didn't sound very rhyming. When Hattori Heiji was struggling with this point, he inevitably became interested in this change.
He had always been dissatisfied with the fact that he was being compared with Kudo Shinichi. He had long wanted to come to Kudo Shinichi for a showdown, but he had too much homework to spare.
Now, the detective in the east suddenly changed, and the timelines of "Kudo" and "Eka" were subtly continued. Various conjectures suddenly popped up in Hattori Heiji's mind. In the end, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and competitiveness.
He packed up his luggage and came to Tokyo to start his duel journey.
