In the end, Ji Haihong and Gray Yuan still couldn't go back alone, because Gray Yuan was worried about the situation on Dr. Asa's side. It wasn't until Gray Yuan mentioned this incident that Ji Haihong also discovered that Dr. Asasa, who had always been ignored and lying on the gun, was also one of the victims of this incident. Then, they returned to the doctor's house in David's car.

Of course, it was impossible for Nick to send them, and David's car was taken from the Night's Watch intelligence station and used to perform tasks such as tracking and surveillance, so it looked like ordinary from the outside. In fact, even when not performing tasks, some basic equipment in the car is hidden.

At a distance from Dr. Asasa's house, Ashbara gets out of the car. After all, Conan called the police, and the police should still be there. And now there are a lot of weapons and equipment in the car, if you send Gray Yuan directly to the doctor's door, then it is no different from sending him to death.

"Don't forget to go to Edogawa for dinner in the evening." When he got out of the car, Gray Yuan kindly reminded him.

Ji Haihong showed a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I won't break my promise, I'll go home and change my clothes, and you should also pay attention to safety." ”

Gray Yuan walked home, worried about Dr. Agasa's safety, and had a headache about how to explain all this to the police.

……

The black Audi sedan stopped in front of the gate, and David got out of the car to open the door. Xiaobai heard the movement here, knew that it was the master and David who came back, and ran excitedly to this side. The Audi sedan drove slowly along the road leading to the garage, Xiaobai ran to the side of the car, the door of the passenger seat opened, and Ji Haihong took off his helmet and smiled to greet Xiaobai's warm "hug".

The door closes and the car continues to drive towards the garage.

No one noticed that a security camera in the compound had been watching the black Audi car as it drove through the gate. Until the car door opened and Xiaobai got into the car, Ji Haihong took off his helmet.

Sure enough, it was him, and it seemed that everything was going well. In an ordinary bedroom, a handsome man with reddish-brown hair raises a glass of bourbon and toasts to the Void.

……

"You're saying you didn't see the suspect's face, and the suspect disappeared for some reason, and then you walked back?" Officer Takagi blinked in bewilderment, with an incredulous look on his face.

Conan said, "Well, if you don't believe me, you can ask Gray Plains, we came back together." ”

Gray Yuan asked in a low voice, "Edogawa, are you sure?" These cops aren't as smart as you, but they're not easy to fool. ”

Conan's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, it's been a long time since I've played these fools, really, when will Officer Twilight teach a capable subordinate." (Don't bother Conan, it's already been taught, Officer Sato is a top guy)

I think that although Kudo Shinichi was very capable, he was also more arrogant. Sometimes to solve the case, I already know the truth, but I also give some wrong hints for those stupid policemen to reason, and then watch the jokes on the sidelines. At that time, Officer Twilight also criticized this undisciplined behavior. I didn't expect that today, I would have to "go back to my old business" again.

When he first arrived home, the doctor had already diagnosed Dr. Asasa and his body was fine, just high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar. The doctor decisively forgot that the patient had been knocked down by a stun gun, and instead advised him to pay attention to his diet and go to the hospital for frequent check-ups.

Conan was also there, and he didn't go home directly, but came here to deal with it first, so as not to overly nervous these policemen.

……

"Conan did the right thing, but how did you think of inviting Ji Haihong to dinner?" Xiaolan is preparing various ingredients with great interest, and has just learned a few new dishes on TV recently, which is just right to show her skills.

"Because we encountered this strange thing, Ji Haihong was very worried." Fortunately, Conan subconsciously took some protective measures when he hit the car door, so although there were bruises on his face, it was not so ugly.

Speaking of this, Xiaolan waved her fist angrily: "Hmph! Really, who the hell is so boring and impatient! The kidnapping of a child is already an unforgivable sin, and it is still halfway! Don't let me meet them, otherwise ......" A cleaned green onion flew into the air, and Xiaolan split the green onion into two with a palm. Conan, who was watching from the sidelines, smirked and said, "Sister Xiaolan, don't be angry......

"Wouldn't it be better if we also brought in Xiao Ai and Dr. Xiao?" Xiaolan thought so.

"No, little mourning...... Ah no, Ashbara-san still has to take care of the doctor, and the doctor wants to rest at home. Conan was covered in cold sweat, and was actually taken over by Xiaolan's words, fortunately, no one else heard it.

"Sister Xiaolan, Conan, I'll come." After Ji Haihong knocked politely, he pushed the door in.

Ji Haihong was wearing a green casual top and looked very energetic.

"Yo, it's rare to see you wearing clothes of other colors." Conan teased.

"Who said that," Ji Haihong retorted, "I still have dark blue and brown-red ones at home, and this dress was sold to me by Sister Xiaolan, have you forgotten?" I bought it last time I went abroad. ”

"Ji Haihongjun, welcome, Conan hurry up and pour tea for the guests, the meal will be ready soon." Xiaolan came out of the kitchen very happily, with a spatula in her right hand and radish in her left hand, wearing a pink apron, quite a good wife and mother.

"Hi~" Conan obediently poured the tea.

"Where's Uncle?" Tasting the fragrant green tea and listening to the sound of Sister Xiaolan's stir-fry in the kitchen, it is really a kind of enjoyment, the warmth of home.

"Uncle has something to do, and I've taken care of it with the police," Conan said, "Actually, I'm also at fault, and I've overlooked a lot of things." ”

Ji Haihong didn't care too much: "It's okay, we're friends, that's enough, don't talk about it now, be careful of being listened to by Sister Xiaolan." ”

Sister Xiaolan's speed was really fast, and after a while, plates of delicious dishes were served on the table. Ji Haihong was drooling when he smelled the fragrance, and a certain Ke was already drooling......

"I'm moving!" Ji Haihong didn't say a word, and began to compete with Conan at the dinner table.

Wiping his mouth with satisfaction, Ji Haihong patted his stomach to show that he was full. Conan opened the window of the office to feel the cool evening breeze, and proposed to go out for a walk with Ji Haihong.

Sister Xiaolan happily went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and told Conan to come back earlier.

Although it sounded weird, Ji Haihong knew that Conan had something to say to him, so he agreed.

In the evening breeze, the two strolled along the path of Rice Flower Park. Occasionally, I heard the horns of passing cars on the road outside and the conversations of pedestrians. At night, the rice forest is more tranquil, and you can watch the colorful world outside from the lush vegetation.

"What do you think?" Conan said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"This world, in fact, is very orderly, people live on their own paths, and there are some people who do not obey the order, and there are some people who must declare war on those who do not obey the order."

"Actually, this world is very beautiful," Ji Haihong said, "It doesn't seem that complicated, but when did you become so philosophical?" ”

"It's just a momentary emotion, then again, don't you think it's really strange today, someone is one step ahead of you." Conan finally moved to the point.

"That's right, but who's it? Could it be that my former friend found out who I was and secretly protected me? Ji Haihong's thinking turned to the movies he had seen before.

Conan smiled lightly: "It's not that complicated, think about it, in the whole incident, is there one person who is too silent?" ”

"Him?" Ji Haihong was surprised, "It's impossible, the other party is a mercenary, my God, I met another person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger!" ”

"But......" Ji Haihong looked at Conan with bad intentions, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”

"You're here again...... I won't tell you, really, tomorrow Xiaolan will go back to visit Dr. Asasa, what about you? Conan deflected the conversation.

"After all, I owe someone a favor, what's the matter, I have to invite someone to dinner."

Dr. Asasa's house.

Okiya appeared at the door of the blown up entrance just right, still holding a pot in his hand: "I just made a pot of tofu and fish soup, but I accidentally made too much, you shouldn't have eaten yet, why don't you eat together, and ......" He looked around at the messy environment, "By the way, I'll help you clean up here, it's too messy." ”

The doctor was having a headache about dinner and hygiene, but he didn't expect the savior to come to the door automatically, so he said excitedly: "Ah, it's really troublesome...... Oooh! ”

Gray Yuan stepped on the doctor fiercely, and said coldly to Ya Yu: "No, we will handle the dinner and the environment ourselves, please go back." ”

"But......" Okiya looked at Ash Yuan with concern, "the old man can't eat late, and these sundries are dirty and heavy, you can't handle it alone." ”

Dr. Asa looked at Ashbara pitifully.

"Alas, it's really troublesome, less nonsense, leave as soon as the work is done." I couldn't stand the doctor's eyes, so Gray Yuan reluctantly agreed.

"This is natural." Okiya smiled and walked into the house.

The next day.

Exquisite cutlery is set up on the table, and tender and delicious steaks are waiting for guests to enjoy. A clean and translucent goblet filled with expensive wines gives off an alluring aroma. David is dressed in a standard high-end Western restaurant waiter configuration, standing straight behind Okiya and serving him at any time.

"Dry-cold aged steak airlifted from the United States last night, vacuum-preserved, and 1775 vintage sherry, worth $43,500, sterling silver cutlery, professional butler, I hope this meeting will make you have a happy memory." Ji Haihong sat casually, behaving quite kindly.

Last night, for some purposes, Ji Haihong specially asked Ulfrick to help him do these things. By the way, thank you to Ulflick for everything he did for him, including getting Nick to stop him from going abroad. Ulfrick dropped the phrase "count you have a conscience" and arranged everything within an hour.

Especially the steak and sherry, which were all named by Ji Haihong. The 1775 vintage sherry is not easy to find, when it was sold at Sotheby's in London in 2001, it was worth 43,500, as for how much it is now, Ji Haihong didn't ask, and Ulfrik didn't say.

Originating in the United States, the dry-aged steak method is the gluttony of steak in order to satisfy American steakers for the satisfaction of top taste and meat quality. This is the best way to preserve the quality and taste of beef. Simply put, after the fresh beef is cut from the cow's body, it is immediately divided to remove the miscellaneous parts, and even put it in the clean room while the beef is still warm. The temperature must be kept between 0~-1 degrees and the humidity must be kept between 75%~80%. In order to meet the requirements of gourmets from all over the world for the taste and quality of beef, a unique preparation method of dry aging has been developed. The steak is stored for at least 7~24 days to air dry, this process darkens the color of the beef, softens the stem tissue of the beef, and at the same time makes the meat taste of the beef more mellow due to the evaporation of part of the water. The climate chamber is designed with an inclined plane, and when it is air-dried, the oily part is placed on top, and when the fat melts, it flows down the slope to the beef, ensuring that all the valuable gravy is sealed in the beef. The beef used to make the steak is grain-fed beef for about 120-140 days, and only the ribeye, sirloin, and filet are selected, and the portion of these parts is usually less than one-tenth of the size of a cow. In addition, after dry aging in the box, some of the beef is discarded to ensure the quality of the product. Dry-aged beef is usually available in restaurants and is limited per day, so you have to make a reservation in advance if you want to eat it. The steak is a favorite delicacy of dignitaries, such as Warren Buffett's favorite dry-aged steak at a New York restaurant. He once jokingly said, "If I don't eat it on Friday, maybe I can't predict the direction of the economy in the future."

"It's so valuable," Okiya pretended to be surprised, "I don't know why you invited me to dinner?" ”

"We know it, so let's not pretend," Ji Haihong stood up and picked up his wine glass, "I apologize to you, I didn't expect your strength to be so strong, I looked down on you." ”

Okiya also picked up his glass, but said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but this wine is good." ”

"You know why I entertained you with this wine, I'm not a good knight, I actually hurt the princess, apologize to you." Ji Haihong poured the second glass of wine.

"A knight will not stay with the princess all day, as a knight, the most important thing is to have a heart to protect the princess." Okiya cut off a piece of steak.

"But what if the princess is involved because of the knight?" Ji Haihong asked sincerely.

"Then be responsible for the princess to the end."

Ji Haihong seemed to see Okiya's eyes open under the lenses in a trance, but he didn't seem to see it.

"You can take care of it." Okiya said.

"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, someone has already done it." Ji Haihong cut off a piece of steak in a comfortable mood and stuffed it into his mouth.

……

"Boss, give the order! Now that we know who the enemy is, let's crush them mercilessly! "We have been investigating the Hellfire Company for a long time, and we know their situation very well, and we have an absolute advantage in the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance battles!" ”

As soon as Nick returned from Japan to report the situation, Ulfrik convened a supreme council. The reactions of various departments were different, but the ultimate goal was the same: fight!

"Clover is right, we already have an advantage in intelligence, and it is not difficult to take down their other bases and headquarters, but their final nest is an island, which has been turned into a steel fortress by them, but they never knew that we have a navy, not that kind of speedboat force, but a real warship!"

Ulfrik was still thinking about it, he was not worried that he wouldn't be able to take it, but that the cranes and mussels were fighting each other, and the fishermen were profiting, in case other forces intervened, then the mercenary world would be in chaos.

"What else are you thinking?" An old voice interrupted his train of thought, and a high-ranking mercenary pushed a wheelchair into the conference room, on which sat an elderly man in his twilight.

This person is Ulfrik's former butler and the leader of Ulfrik's mercenary path.

"I'm glad that your achievements are much higher than mine, so let it go! Youngster! Tell them who is the king of the mercenary world! ”
