If Conan is still here, maybe there will be more things happening on the road.
That way, it will become difficult for them to leave Osaka just as it was difficult for them to leave Tokyo before.
...It's a pity. I wasn't there when I should be there, and I was there when I shouldn't be there.
Haiyuan Ai added another stroke to Conan's list of grudges.
This time, the journey back went really smoothly, nothing happened.
Arriving at Mihua Town, Haibara Ai waved goodbye to Shiraishi.
When Shiraishi returned home and opened the rewards, he originally wanted to catch up on some sleep, but after packing them up and lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep at all.
...That's right, although the mask is always running around outside, the main body is always sleeping.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like there are a few more hours in the day.
In the future, when you want to read novels and play games at night, if your Mask time has not been used up, you can read it in the form of Mask first, then sleep in the main body, and manage your time properly.
Shiraishi thought wildly for a while, then took the English book next to him and looked through it. This was very effective, and he fell asleep quickly.
…
The next morning, Shiraishi was awakened by a tinkling sound.
He raised his head from the quilt. This sound meant that Gin had a mission.
The organization-specific mobile phone is usually kept in Shiraishi's system backpack.
When other people send messages, a light will light up to remind you.
But Gin is different. The messages he sends will also have sound effects when reminding them.
Shiraishi turned on the light screen and saw the Q version assistant circling anxiously on the screen, wanting to check it for him.
Finding that Shiraishi was awake, she exhaled a small bubble of relaxation, hugged her nightcap and walked back behind the screen to continue catching up on her sleep.
Shiraishi took out his cell phone and saw an unread email in his mailbox. It was from Gin, asking him to pick up someone tomorrow.
As for when and where to pick up whom...as always, ask Bourbon for details.
In fact, this was originally Toru Amuro's mission.
However, Tohru Amuro was temporarily busy, so this task, which was said to be not difficult, was handed over to Shiraishi.
Shiraishi called and explained the situation.
Toru Amuro seemed to be stunned for a moment: "Gin asked you to go?"
"Yeah." Although the pause on the other side was very subtle, Shiraishi still felt it. He felt that there was a problem. Could it be that this task was difficult?
Toru Amuro's tone quickly returned to normal, and he finished explaining the situation as if naturally.
This time it's just a response mission.
Tequila wants to trade a piece of top-secret information with someone else, and the transaction partner is not someone from the organization. Although the chance is not high, that person may also call the police or go back on his word.
Shiraishi's mission this time is somewhat similar to Gin's first mission on the roller coaster. He was to observe the surroundings and confirm whether the environment was safe before and during the transaction. If something was wrong, he would remind Tequila to retreat.
If the police really rush in to arrest someone, Shiraishi will have to help his accomplices escape, or at the worst, they will have to take out the information.
"I left Tequila's photo in the office. Come over tomorrow and take note of his face. Don't take the photo out."
Toru Amuro stacked up the information on his hands and said smoothly: "Don't go too early tomorrow. If there is a police ambush, you will be noticed if you go early, and it will also disturb the transaction partner."
He made it very clear. There was only one question left to be confirmed. Shiraishi asked meaningfully: "If the transaction partner calls the police, do you need to silence him?"
"It's up to you." Toru Amuro wanted to say no, but held it back:
"Many of our transaction partners know nothing about the organization and only think that they are selling intelligence to business competitors. You don't need to pay too much attention to them. You should focus on the intelligence and covering Tequila."
Shiraishi agreed and hung up the phone.
He searched around for the name of Tequila in his mind, and he had some impressions. This old man seemed to have appeared very early, and then was killed early.
He opened the light screen again and looked at it. There was no rescue mission, so Shiraishi decided to treat the organization's mission as an ordinary mission.
But there is one thing that is not ordinary enough.
Isn't it better to memorize relevant information about the mission, such as Tequila's face, as early as possible, so as not to avoid having to look for it based on characteristics for a long time if you don't recognize it tomorrow.
But although Toru Amuro did not clearly specify the time for facial recognition, he inserted two "tomorrows" into his words, as if he wanted him to go to the office the next day to check the information.
Can't I go to the office today?
The police went to do routine work?
You can't be so arrogant.
Shiraishi gradually became curious.
There was nothing to do today anyway, and Amuro Toru's detective agency was very close to his home. After having breakfast, Shiraishi simply turned on his mask, switched into cat form, and walked over to see what was going on.
…
Although Gin didn't say what materials were being traded, Toru Amuro still found out - it was a list of top-level programmers.
Organizations need these talents.
Once the list is obtained, the organization will go to find people one by one, coerce and induce them to make the programs the organization needs.
——The above is what Shiraishi heard while hiding on the window sill of the detective office and eavesdropping on Toru Amuro's phone call.
Talents are everywhere. When the police heard about it, they decided to prevent the black organization from getting the list.
Although the organization has other ways to obtain information, it is more convenient to intercept a list than to protect a long list of people targeted by the organization.
In short, Toru Amuro has been busy with this recently.
Gin did not tell him who the transaction partner was, nor did he tell him the specific transaction method. These were decided by Tequila, and Tequila would communicate directly with the person who responded.
The police can only try to prevent the materials from being handed over based on known information.
What they know so far is that the transaction took place at the Rice Flower Hotel.
Although it is called a hotel, it is actually a business area.
After an investigation by the police, it was discovered that a press conference for Mantiantian Company's new products will be held there in the near future. The specific time is tomorrow, which is the day when tequila trading begins.
There are many ways to trade in this public place.
Based on Tequila's past habits, Toru Amuro felt that he might use the depository to trade.
——On the day of the press conference, many people would leave their luggage at the counter before entering the venue.
At that time, Tequila only needs to deposit the box containing the money in the depository, and the transaction partner deposits the list of names in the depository. The two of them secretly exchange number plates and then take them out, and the transaction will be successful.
Therefore, although a lot of preparations were made elsewhere, the police still focused on the depository.
They sent an undercover agent disguised as a storage employee, planning to add an ignition device to the box when Tequila came to pick it up.
In this way, the moment it is opened, the device will produce a small-scale explosion, which will not kill people, but can cause the data to catch fire and be destroyed.
