In addition, Toru Amuro didn't know what commission Jiang Xia had received, so he couldn't answer Conan's question.
So his attention was naturally focused on digging out the loopholes in Conan's words:
"You didn't ask Jiang Xia because you couldn't contact him?
"He is almost an adult. He only accepted the commission in the afternoon. In the evening, you thought he had lost contact and started looking for someone... What happened in the middle?
"Also, where did you hear that he had a commission in the afternoon? He specifically told others and you heard it from the side?"
If the answer to the last question is yes, it means that Jiang Xia is aware of the dangers of today's entrustment, so he has left clues to trusted people in advance... Having said that, why don't you come to him? There is no way he is better than those in Jiang Xia
He is a reliable high school classmate, right? Could it be that Jiang Xia thinks he is too busy?
"..." Conan was hit head-on by a series of questions, and suddenly he understood why the people he had questioned before gradually became less friendly.
He hesitated for a moment. He remembered that he had reported Toru Amuro to the Megure Police Department that he carried a gun with him. After that, the Megure Police Department did not take any other actions, which meant that the police did not find out that there was anything wrong with Toru Amuro. The boss of this detective agency was still pretty good.
letter.
And there are currently no other clues.
Conan then decided to reveal some details: "Brother Jiang Xia's classmates invited him to go to a concert this afternoon, but brother Jiang Xia said he had a commission today and refused. I overheard the news at that time. And then today
evening……"
He briefly told what had just happened.
Of course, all content related to Kudo Shinichi was omitted, except that he heard another person's voice on the phone call from Jiang Xia, and that person could not have appeared next to Jiang Xia at the time.
Toru Amuro listened in silence, and couldn't help but glance at the receiver on the way. The more he listened, the more he felt that something was not right about this kid named Conan.
He is obviously just a first-grade elementary school student, but his words are fluent and logical. And it seems that what happened today was because he discovered the abnormality himself, rather than someone else telling him - if it were another child, he might have been easily changed.
Once you've been deceived, you won't think there's someone pretending to be on the other side of the phone.
However, when talking about first-grade children, another figure appeared in Toru Amuro's mind uncontrollably.
——That was another little boy he met at the Izu Princess Hotel.
Although the kid wrapped in a scarf didn't talk as long as Conan, he was good at touching tricks, calculating, and inserting needles very accurately. Moreover, Toru Amuro was confused by his appearance and was careless for a moment, and he actually got hit by such a trick...
In contrast, Toru Amuro felt a little weird, so he immediately suppressed it.
Perhaps he has been away from childhood for too long and lacks a correct understanding of today's children... The flowers of the motherland are really getting stronger and stronger, but the direction of growth is worrying. Especially the little boy who loves to prick needles.
Toru Amuro was distracted for a moment, and his thoughts quickly returned to normal.
Although he knew the general situation from Conan's description, he was still unable to use this information to see what the purpose of the person who controlled Jiang Xia's mobile phone was.
In addition, when he mentioned "voice change", he remembered a certain person.
Belmod, known as the "Thousand-Faced Witch".
According to Tohru Amuro's information, Bermod had secretly arrived in Tokyo from the United States not long ago.
...If it were her, she could indeed accomplish such a thing, but her motives were puzzling—why would a new organizational cadre target Jiang Xia, who had almost no connection with the organization?
...Wait a minute, if you insist on saying so, it can’t be considered completely unrelated. In my impression, Bermod seemed to hate Shirley, and part of the reason she came to Tokyo was to track down the defected bottle of watered wine.
And among Shirley's few interpersonal relationships, Jiang Xia obviously ranks high.
If I remember correctly, Ginjiu approached Jiang Xia because of this.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Belmod came again.
...and Belmode has always liked to consume members of the organization, and no one with a codename can escape, let alone peripheral cannon fodder. If this continues, even if Jiang Xia has done nothing, she may be angered and silenced.
Toru Amuro gradually frowned, feeling that the situation was a bit critical.
After hanging up the phone on Conan, he first called Jiang Xia to confirm.
After discovering that Jiangxia's mobile phone was indeed turned off in a rare situation, Toru Amuro took out another mobile phone.
As a man with multiple jobs and multiple salaries, he also has more than one phone.
Toru Amuro doesn't have Bermod's current mobile phone number, but as far as he knows, Bermod has a pretty good relationship with Gin.
Moreover, Gin has many part-time businesses, including some personnel rights. After Belmode comes here, he will definitely contact him. Therefore, Gin may know what Belmod has been doing recently, and whether he has been free to persecute him.
Innocent underage peripheral members.
After entering Gin's phone number, Toru Amuro pressed the dial button without any hesitation, without any guilt that he was taking up the organization's labor force.
The very fact that it can make the busy Gin feel troublesome makes his mood +1.
In addition, even if Jiang Xia's disappearance has nothing to do with Belmod, it can be a good excuse to find out the news - in normal times, Bourbon asking about Belmod's whereabouts for no reason would be a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it.
.
But now, Belmod may have taken Jiang Xia away, and Jiang Xia is now his employee. If he asks about it again, it will be more legitimate.
The phone rang several times before someone from the other side picked up.
Gin's voice came, accompanied by the sound of flipping through the schedule: "What's the matter?"
You really are working all the time... Fortunately, there are not many people like this in the organization. Toru Amuro was a little worried at first, but he quickly felt relieved.
"Jiang Xia has lost contact. I suspect he is in Belmode."
Toru Amuro skipped the reasoning process in the middle and directly stated the conclusion, adding a provocation as usual:
"You guys have the same idea of looking for Shirley. If you can't find someone, you take it out on irrelevant members - because you don't know where to start and you are too embarrassed to sit around, so you have to use this kind of ineffective work to fill the empty time so that you can make yourself happy.
Have an illusion of high efficiency?”
Gin said coldly: "Recovering Shirley is the task of all cadres in Tokyo, including you, an intelligence agent who has taken a lot of money from the organization but has not even found a hair on Shirley. You are also worthy of this
Something to mock me with?"
Halfway through his sneer, he suddenly remembered that many of the funds that went into Bourbon's pocket were obtained through his own hard work, and his smile suddenly disappeared.
