Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 421 What kind of wine is this?Ask for a monthly ticket ()
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, and suggested euphemistically: "If you like it, you might as well raise one yourself." Then stop accepting such commissions and harm other people's cats...

Toru Amuro remembered that a few days ago, he even picked up a familiar cat paralyzed by the street to the office.That cat probably looked familiar to him, and didn't bother to run away when he approached... If this continues, these cats may gradually get used to a stray life, from house cats to street cats, and then to town cats, city cats, county cats Cats and even national cats... are not good for cats, and it is not good for the firm's reputation.

However, Jiang Xia shook her head regretfully: "I don't have time, and I don't have manpower—you are rarely in the office, and I often travel on business."

Toru Amuro: "...Who said to raise it in the office? Raise it at your home."

"No." Jiang Xia still shook her head.

He thought about the ghost mint raw materials at home, and drew the shape of the flower pot: "I have a lot of potted plants in my house."

Next to it, the mermaid poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia, and nodded in agreement—those potted plants are all raw materials for making ghost mint, and they must not be scratched by cats.

And she doesn't like cats either, she always feels that tails are dangerous in front of cats... Thinking of this, the mermaid turned her head to look at the cats in the cage, then silently crawled in front of Jiang Xia, covering the cats with Jiang Xia's body possible gaze.Then he touched his beautiful fish tail cherishingly.

Toru Amuro is thoughtful, is it not convenient to keep a cat at home?
... Could it be that his conjecture that "Jiang Xia took the commission to rub the client's cat" is true?

Although it sounds absurd, but think about it carefully—these cats have a full range of breeds, and they are usually taken care of smoothly. Most of them are clingy, and there are a few rebellious ones. It will scratch people in turn... It seems very reasonable for Jiang Xia to maintain the cat-finding business when she doesn't have to worry about catching cats herself and someone can do it for her.

...just a little sorry for the customer.

but……

Amuro turned his head and looked at the Chocolate Mountain on the other side of the living room speechlessly.

...Even the owner of the cat doesn't mind, he'd better not meddle in his own business.

And Jiang Xia is not a cat abuser, the cats quite like him, except for a few lively elements who love freedom, the others are already familiar with Jiang Xia.

Toru Amuro temporarily stopped thinking about these trivial matters.

He remembered the purpose of coming to the office today, and asked Jiang Xia casually:

"I remember that a few days ago, you received a commission letter from Moon Shadow Island, and said that the wording of that letter looked like a murder notice—why didn't I see your report on solving the case on the island?"

Toru Amuro will be interested in this matter, and we will start talking about it early this morning.

early morning.

When he handed over the information about the Inoue Real Estate to Gin who came back from nowhere, he habitually glanced at the gin bag—for an intelligence officer, paying attention to all the scenes passing by is the most basic operation.This small gesture can be annoying, but it's not too suspicious.

In the past, it was difficult for Amuro Toru to get information from Gin in this way.

But today, for some reason, Gin's mental state didn't seem to be very good, and there was a faint sense of exhaustion after being tensed for a long time.

So this time, Toru Amuro managed to find an unfinished mission report in his bag.

Then I saw a strange word on it - Ouzo.

As an undercover agent of the organization, Toru Amuro memorized the names of various wines.

He searched his memory a little, and quickly remembered that it was a Greek spirit - it would appear on the organization's mission report, and it was undoubtedly the code name of an official member.

But the strange thing is that Toru Amuro found that he had never heard of "Uzo" before.

This made him quite concerned.

——In Amuro Toru’s impression, those who can go out with Gin on missions, except for some cannon fodder scheduled to be paid within the organization, and employees who are in urgent need of retirement, most of the rest are old people who have been in the organization for many years. Loyalty have been confirmed.

During the years that Toru Amuro was undercover, he had contacted many organization cadres with code names, and he was familiar with a large number of wine names.

Especially here in Tokyo.

Even if he has never met, he still has a rough list in his mind, and he can even vaguely guess what each person is good at... But this "Uzo" who popped up suddenly was completely unknown, and he was never on his list appeared.

...But Wu Zuo was able to go on missions with Qin Jiu.Moreover, judging from the location of the name on the mission report, "Ouzo" is indeed the participant of the mission, not the target to be executed.

In other words, he couldn't be an incompetent cannon fodder.

...Could it be a new face just transferred from another branch?
Or, Wu Zuo has always been a resident member of other branches, and is only in charge of cooperating with Gin when Gin is on a business trip?
...both are possible.

The former—the organization has a lot of affairs in the Tokyo area, and the attrition rate of members is also high. It takes a lot of time to train suitable cadres, and it is difficult to replenish manpower. The operation of transferring people is quite common.

And the latter speculation is not without reason-in Amuro Toru's impression, gin does not have procrastination.But this time, after getting information about Inoue Real Estate, Qin Jiu came to him for a long time to hand over the relevant information... This shows that Qin Jiu probably has something to do with him.

Tokyo has been surprisingly quiet these days, and no important person has died.

Therefore, Toru Amuro is more inclined to cause Gin to be "inseparable" and happen in other places - that is to say, Uzo is a cadre of another branch.

……

After having doubts about the new wine on the file, Toru Amuro thought about it, anyway, it's not a secret that he likes to observe other people's files.

So he simply asked Gin openly: "A new face? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Amuro Toru was extremely impressed by Gin's reaction at the time.

——This deep organization cadre paused for a moment when gathering the materials, turned his head and glanced at him, there was an indescribably strange joy in his eyes, and a certain indescribable sense of superiority.

And after this positive emotion passed, I don't know what Qin Jiu thought of, and his expression became a little more complicated and slightly apprehensive.

...Maybe it's because there are too many elements, or because the awareness of secrecy is too strong.

In short, after Amuro Toru asked about the information in the gin bag, Gin didn't mention anything about "Uzo", but he usually pulled out his gun and pointed at Amuro Toru, leaving a sentence of "Keep your eyes on your eyes and bear with me." If you don’t keep looking around, I’ll dig it out for you” and other threats, then strode away with documents and vodka.

Toru Amuro also slowly put down the gun that Gin took out at the same time and pointed at the other party.

He looked at Gin's back, and then moved his eyes to Vodka next to him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
