age is not a problem

Kudo Otaku, at the dinner table——

"Ah, ah, the noodles have been cooked for too long, which has resulted in the loss of the texture of the pasta itself. It is recommended to cook for 5 minutes less, Chef Okiya."

"Well... you must pass the noodles in cold water before cooking them, alas, it is actually easy to wash off the starch and nutrients on the surface of the pasta, and it will also make the sauce unable to blend with the pasta better Together, this affects the taste very much, you have to learn a lesson, chef of rye whiskey."

"Also, what you cook is this kind of penene pasta. The hollow part and shallow grooves on the surface of this kind of pasta will absorb the sauce with more water. It is more suitable for matching with tomato sauce or Italian bolognese. I will make this next time Don’t use black pepper sauce when making noodles, Chef Akai.”

Qingmei expressed her emotions while eating the pasta on the plate. It seemed that her extremely sensitive and picky tongue could explore the flavor and philosophy of the pasta with every bite.

And the person sitting on the opposite side—the original cold and handsome, unsmiling FBI investigator Shuichi Akai, now turned into a mysterious, gentle and warm man from the hall to the kitchen, Okiya Subaru said in his heart...I really want to treat this spaghetti bastard in front of me. throw it out.

"According to the information about you that Rena Mizumu provided before, you are called 'Devil Red Wine' in the organization, but now it seems that it doesn't fit, Margot." Okiya Subaru's tone was a little bit A little secretive.

Although the two had also been undercover for the Black Organization, they had never met in the organization before.Because two years ago, the time when Akai Shuichi's identity was exposed and defected from the organization happened to be the time when Qingmei sneaked into the organization undercover.

From a certain point of view, it was also thanks to Akai Shuichi being found out as an undercover agent, which sounded the alarm for the organization, and the organization also took this opportunity to conduct a major internal investigation, and as a result, a lot of people fell into this investigation , and even created a tight manpower situation for the organization during that time, making Qingmei, a newcomer with little experience in the organization, take advantage of this opportunity to quickly rise to the position, and soon became the second deputy under Qin Jiu's command... Ah, the second The first pair of hands is vodka, this is really impossible, impossible.

...Actually, Qingmei once secretly planned to secretly get rid of Comrade Lao Fu in a reasonable way, and then she could take his place.

It turns out that although Lao Fu is all kinds of stupid and cute, it is probably because his IQ is all used to make up for his luck. Every assassination plan can be escaped by this guy.But fortunately, his IQ is really in arrears, so he never found out that it was her behind the scenes.

In short, although the fake rye whiskey and Margot already knew each other's identities well after joining Conan's base camp one after another, it was the first time they met face to face alone.

And at this moment, hearing Okiya Subaru's meaningful words, Kiyomi turned the spaghetti on the plate with a fork in her left hand, rested her cheeks in her right hand, drooped her dead fish eyes, and said slowly:

"Tsk tsk tsk, when I was in the winery, I heard people say that you and Bourbon are deadly enemies. And you both belong to the kind of people with full skill attributes, full of cheats, no matter in intelligence or force. On par, but ah... well, cooking skills are inferior to Bourbon, Mr. Rye Whiskey... I really miss the special pasta made by the waiter Amuro in Polo Café. Recently, Xiao Ke seldom helps me Packed and said..."

Okiya Subaru, who originally picked up the water glass in hand and gently swirled the ice water in the glass, stopped this small movement in his hand.The eyes that had been squinted on weekdays slowly opened, and there was a hint of danger in the green pupils.

He knew that she was threatening him.

Now Bourbon is already doubting his identity as "Okiya Subaru". Although the identity showdown will happen sooner or later, he doesn't want to confront Bourbon directly now, which is not good for both of them.

Although Conan told him that she can be trusted, the most difficult thing in this world is the human heart.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Okiya Subaru went straight to the point.

"Don't think too much, it's just a small favor." Qingmei smiled harmlessly, until her eyes narrowed as much as that of the perennial squinting opposite, "I heard that you are a computer expert , The hacker technology is top-notch, so...help me check something."

……

In the study—

The lights in the room were not turned on, only the computer screen was shining, which made people feel a little nervous.

In front of the computer, Okiya Subaru tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly.Behind him, Qingmei stood there, her eyes fixed on the screen, not letting go of any details, and her expression was rarely serious.

"I found out, all the winners of Fengji Department Store's promotional activities during that time. There was no Ms. Asakawa Qingmei with membership card number '27272277' among the winners. Moreover, there were no prizes given by Fengji Department Store that month." Coffee jelly'." Okiya Subaru concluded after carefully checking the entire list page.

Qingmei couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and various possibilities flashed through her mind, and no matter what the possibility was, it all pointed to a result—she was being targeted.

As for the reason for being targeted... She really couldn't think of it.It stands to reason that before contacting Nicole, she had no intersection with the Pengo Li family, or she had never taken over any tasks involving the Italian Mafia in the past.Even if it is possible that someone saw her meeting with Nicole, the coffee jelly incident happened before she reunited with Nicole. Before the bombing of the hotel, she had always been responsible. In front of middle school student Kiyomi Asakawa.

Moreover, what made it even more difficult for her to understand was that if someone really discovered her secret and targeted her... why did she send ten boxes of coffee jelly? !Do these coffee jellies represent some kind of code? !Or do you simply want to disgust her to death in a disgusting way? !

Qingmei, who couldn't understand it completely, felt that her brain was in chaos, covered her face and sighed:

"Rye, without being detected by the other party's network monitoring system, can you check the sending addresses of the emails that the senior staff of Fengji Department Store often receive from non-Tokyo areas?"

Since the force behind Fengji Department Store is the underground consortium founded by Peng Gelie's tenth generation Yunshou, if the "coffee jelly incident" is really aimed at her, it must be the manipulator who gave this order to the top management of Fengji Department Store. Fengji Consortium owns Fengji Department Store.And according to the various anecdotal information she collected, the headquarters of the Fengji Consortium is not located in Tokyo.In short, she simply skipped Fengji Department Store and went straight to the forces behind it.

"I really like to do dangerous things, Margot...it will take a little time, wait a moment." Although he said this, it was not obvious from the expression that this kind of invisible hacking would make Chong Yasubaru was troubled.

Qingmei didn't say much, just waited patiently, conceiving various plans for the future in her mind, and selecting them one by one.Either way, she couldn't be at a disadvantage.

Two 10 minutes later...

"I found it." Okiya Subaru pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, and pointed to a string of codes on the computer screen, "The senior management of Fengji Department Store does often send and receive emails with the same mailbox in other places, and it seems that there are only a few of them. The few core executives who have more are qualified to contact that mailbox. The address of that mailbox is a small town near Tokyo called 'Bingsheng', and I found out the specific location of one of the letters, which is in In a school called 'Bingsheng Middle School' in that small town."

"'Bingsheng'... I see, thank you." After Xiemei arrived, Qingmei said that she should check here, and then got up and left.

In any case, on the night that Kidd stole the gem, the Pengoile family would definitely show up, and she would have ample opportunity to investigate them.But before that, it seems that she needs to go to Bingsheng to investigate.

Tomorrow happens to be Saturday, so let's go tomorrow.

……

At the same time, in Tokyo, Tsunayoshi's apartment——

"What? You and mom have returned to Bingsheng now?" Gang Ji, who had just finished taking a shower and was brushing his hair, couldn't help raising his voice after hearing what his father said on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, it's been more than a year since we traveled around this time. Your mother suddenly said that she was a little tired and a little bit overwhelmed, so she wanted to go home and rest for a while... Besides, Ah Gang, my mother is actually I miss you even more, you happen to be in Japan right now, come tomorrow and meet your mother." Sawada Iemitsu discussed.

After listening, Gangji couldn't help sighing: "Dad, you also know my current physical condition. If my mother sees it, how should I explain it?"

Why didn't he want to see his mother, since his father had been absent from his life since he was a child, it could be said that he had always been dependent on his mother.Until the age of 15, when he graduated from junior high school, he formally inherited the family and bid farewell to his mother with the reason of "my father sent me to study in Italy". digging for oil all over the world" excuse.In these years, he spent very little time with his mother, and he couldn't even let his mother know about his real situation.

"I know, I know." How could Sawada Iemitsu not know about his son's current physical condition, but he who always loved his wife still said, "But... Didn't Liudaokui send you a flashback bullet before? During the effective time of the retroactive bomb, let's spend a little time with my mother, even if it's just to see her."

Gang Ji finally agreed, "Okay, I understand, I will go back tomorrow... I will contact you in advance when I arrive at Bingsheng, Dad."

……

The next day, at the long-distance bus station, in a bus bound for Bingsheng——

"Excuse me, is there no one here?" Gang Ji pointed to an empty seat in the aisle, and politely asked the person sitting next to the window seat.

He came a little late, and when he got on the bus, it was almost full. After seeing that there was still an empty seat here, he hurried forward and asked.

"Ah, no one, please..."

Qingmei, who was leaning on the back of the seat with her eyes closed and resting her mind, covered her face with a hat to block the scorching summer sun coming in from the window, said while taking off the large wide-brimmed hat she was wearing on her face.And after seeing who the person in front of her was asking her, she was slightly taken aback, and then a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"What a coincidence, Sawada."

……

The author has something to say:

At the beginning, Qingmei's series of names for Akai Hideichi should be explained here again-real name: Akai Hideichi, current alias: Okiya Subaru, organization code name: rye whiskey (rye).

Before the dark express train chapter, Akai Shuichi had demonstrated his computer technology, and successfully remotely prevented Toru Amuro from invading the computer system of the Mori Detective Agency.
