Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2504: 2508 [Going with the flow]

Matsuda Jinpei also felt strange. He thought about it seriously for a while, but failed, so he cast his eyes on the pocket of the psychic master.

The smoker gestured and suggested: It's rare that Ireland has returned recently, why not celebrate with a cigarette?
Jiang Xia glanced at it and said, "I don't mind lighting a cigarette to liven up the atmosphere, but I'm on my way to find the boss. If you want it to be extinguished after just two puffs..."

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

...Damn old classmate, next time you pull the coffee smell murderous aura more forcefully.

……

Jiang Xia followed the address and soon saw an ancient and elegant courtyard in the distance. Over the courtyard wall, he could vaguely see a spacious building with a hint of antiquity inside.

When you go around to the front, you will find that this is actually a Japanese restaurant called "Ryusuitei".

Jiang Xia looked at the time and pushed the door open.

Glancing at the front hall, a striking cluster of golden hair caught his eye. Jiang Xia walked over and greeted him, "Boss."

Amuro Toru turned around and responded, pointing to the bench next to him: "There are still ten minutes until my appointment time, sit down and wait."

As he was about to go over and sit down, but at this moment, a ringtone rang from his pocket - someone called.

“……” Toru Amuro took out his cell phone and saw the caller ID. He couldn’t help but frowned - what’s the matter with this guy Ireland?

After thinking for a while, he handed the appointment number to Jiang Xia, then walked out of the store and found a deserted place to answer the phone.

"Bourbon." The Irishman said sarcastically, "Although I said I didn't mind you borrowing my men, I didn't expect you to be able to use them so well."

Amuro Toru: “…?” Borrow your subordinates? Which subordinates? Could it be Hashimoto Maya who already belongs to Usa?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh again. However, as an undercover agent who had been lurking in the Black Organization for many years, Bourbon was obviously very good at controlling his emotions. He calmly tested the situation and said, "Same here."

Ireland snorted coldly and stopped talking nonsense. He asked in confusion, "Why did you ask him to build that island?"

Amuro Toru: “…” Island?

Combining the key words in the previous conversation, he immediately understood that Ireland was asking about the Haixin Island where large-scale construction had been going on recently. At first, Toru Amuro had not paid attention to Hashimoto Maya's small projects, but as the movement on the island became bigger and bigger, he did not dare to let it go and asked Yuya Kazami to investigate.

...In other words, for some reason, Ireland now thinks that he asked Hashimoto Maya to build that island?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro's eyes twitched slightly: That bastard Uzo actually came up with such a way to drag him to take the blame for this matter.

After seeing through this, he opened his mouth, intending to expose Uzo's conspiracy. But after calming down, he changed his mind: exposing Hashimoto Maya seemed to have no benefit for him.

"Both Uzo and Ireland are my enemies, but judging from the current progress, if there is a chance to capture someone and bring him back to the public security department for investigation, then Ireland has a better chance than Uzo."

The balance in Amuro Toru's heart wavered with hesitation: "Besides, Hashimoto Maya is in my shop now. With this guy here, I have a chance to get information about both Uzo and Ireland from him at the same time.

"Let's not talk about Ireland. I've personally experienced how difficult it is to get information about Uzo... That guy inexplicably recruited Hashimoto Maya to his team. I'm afraid it was because of Hashimoto Maya's double identity. If I reveal this, Uzo will lose interest in Hashimoto Maya, and Hashimoto may become his abandoned child."

——It’s not that he finds it funny that Ireland is kept in the dark, but for the sake of his intelligence source, it seems that he shouldn’t let Hashimoto Maya reveal everything so early.

As his thoughts raced, Amuro Toru smiled mysteriously: "'What is the purpose of building an island'? Such a rude question without any sense of mystery - it's meaningless to ask it now. If you really want to know, you can go to the island and see it for yourself after it is built."

Ireland: “…” Disgusting mystic, this guy really should be sent to the stake together with Vermouth.

However, after this confirmation, Amuro Toru and Hashimoto Maya's words can be matched. Ireland said no more, snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

Toru Amuro looked at the screen that exited the call interface and fell into deep thought for a moment.

A trace of curiosity slowly arose in his heart: "..." So what was the island used for?

……

When Toru Amuro was communicating with Ireland across the air in the yard.

The lobby of Liushui Pavilion.

While waiting for someone, Jiang Xia casually looked around the restaurant.

Among many high-end restaurants with the same style, this store is particularly unique - it is surrounded by a shallow artificial stream, and the stream flows through each private room. The meals ordered by the guests will be placed on a special small wooden boat by the chef and float to the designated room along the water.

After the guests open the window and pick up their meals from the boat, they only need to press a button on the boat and the boat will flow back to the dining room and wait.

"What a creative idea." Jiang Xia muttered to his ghosts, "But obviously my Haixin Island is better - there is only a man-made stream less than half a meter deep here, but I have a whole sea there."

The ghosts nodded one after another, and the mermaid looked at the boats floating on the water and reached out to pull Jiang Xia's hair.

Then after Jiang Xia looked at her, she patted her chest proudly: The fish trainer is going to take action - buy some more large fish and put them in the indoor fish tank of Haixin Theater. She wants those fish to help deliver meals, which will definitely be much more impressive than these small boats!

Jiang Xia: "..." Let the fish deliver the food? Let's not talk about whether the fish can resist stealing the food. By the time the food is delivered, it will probably be soaked.

...But if they can be trained, we can make some fishing boats that are like horse-drawn carriages, with the fish holding the reins and pulling the boats to deliver food - this is the real original flavor, unlike the boats in this restaurant, which are remote-controlled and have motors, and are not natural enough.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly, approved the ghost employee's creative proposal, and planned to send a message to Hashimoto Maya later to ask him to find a suitable fish in advance.

I was adding all sorts of things to my new island in my mind when the shop door opened and closed and two people walked in.

Jiang Xia looked over. At the same time, the receptionist in kimono came to the door and asked as usual: "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

The two guests were both men in suits, one fat and one thin. The sturdier man heard what the receptionist said and responded briefly, "Yes."

"..." The front desk waited for a while, but nothing happened. She had no choice but to check the time and guessed with a smile, "Are you Mr. Kaneda who has reserved room 8?"
