[Chapter 292] List
The Polo Cafe has the same strong aroma of coffee as usual. Mori Kogoro holds a horse race newspaper with a cup of hot coffee in front of him. Today, Xiaolan's school organizes an outing, so Xiaolan doesn't have time to prepare lunch for her father and Conan. So the two of them had to go to the café downstairs to fill their stomachs.
Mori Kogoro, who pays attention to the content of horse racing, didn't notice it at all, whether it was Conan next to him or Toru Amuro standing aside, his mind was a little unfocused.
There was a crisp ringing of bells, and the door of the café was pushed open.
"Welcome," Amuro greeted politely, "Would you like some rabbits today?" ”
Ji Haihong didn't expect Amuro to greet him so humorously, he smiled: "I haven't seen this one yet, I heard that it's very famous." ”
Maori Kogoro put down the newspaper and took a sip of coffee: "Why are you kid here too, and your housekeeper is also out for activities?" ”
"Almost, Uncle Maori, I'm not here for dinner and coffee, I'm looking for Uncle Amuro."
"What's the matter?"
"Xiaobai lost it." Ji Haihong said.
Maori Kogoro thought about it for a long time before he remembered in a daze that Xiaobai seemed to be Ji Haihong's pet dog.
"Then you really have to find it quickly, otherwise you might be caught by the shelter," Amuro put away the apron on his body, "Master, I'll go and help Ji Haihong find a pet first, if there is anything else, Xiao Zi will help." ”
Xiao Zi, who was wiping the cup at the bar, smiled sweetly.
Conan didn't move: "Good luck to you." ”
"Go, go, don't come back too late." Mori Kogoro didn't care, and picked up the newspaper to pay attention to the horse race.
The two left the café and walked out into the street. A silver glittering coupe opens its doors, and David is dressed in a black suit, wearing sunglasses, and puts his hands on the steering wheel, carefully observing the changes in his surroundings.
"How, David." Ji Haihong got into the car.
"Everything is in order, ready to return to the villa."
Along the way, the three did not say a word. Returning to the villa, they came to the center of the war situation. It was only then that Ji Haihong began to speak: "What is the purpose of our gathering here today, we know in our hearts, who still has a problem?" ”
David asked, "Why did Erebos bypass Mr. Amuro and connect with a little-known gang?" ”
This issue was also mentioned by Conan when Ji Haihong and Conan discussed it before. According to the information provided by Amuro, he discovered the traces of Erebos. After a period of investigation, it was discovered that Erebos was in contact with a small dockyard.
The contact is infrequent, but it is regular. Almost every few days, Erebos would contact the dockyard.
Based on this, Ji Haihong's speculation is that Erebos may want to go to sea and abscond.
Conan disagreed: "I don't know the person Erebos, but he has put so much effort into you, and it is a little unreasonable for him to suddenly run away in fear of you." ”
"What do you think?"
"I think there are two possibilities, first, after the previous failures, Erebos no longer trusts Amuro, or he doesn't want to see him again because of the frustration in his heart, so he contacts this dock, maybe he is planning some kind of conspiracy, this dock may be related to the organization, maybe it is a branch of the organization; Second, it was a secret mission from Erebos. ”
Ji Haihong nodded approvingly: "It's worthy of you, it's exactly the same as what Amuro said." ”
"What are you going to do? Why, you have to ......"
"It's not us, it's them, and it's a great opportunity for me to test David's combat ability."
Conan said, "Amuro and David? Are you sure? ”
"Why can't you be sure?"
"Because there was friction between you, and even if you didn't care, wouldn't David care? He and Toru Amuro will act together, and there will be no problems? Conan was worried.
"David will obey my orders, he is a battle-hardened veteran, and he can distinguish between public and private."
……
On the roof of a small three-story building, David and Amuro lurked on it, using binoculars to observe the situation in the dock opposite.
Toru Amuro introduced the information of his reconnaissance in the past few days: "According to my reconnaissance in the past few days, there are not many people stationed in the dock, but every hour, three cars will pass by the entrance and exit of the dock, and there are a few speedboats and motorboats patrolling the sea from time to time, and the second floor of the dock is the office, where there is a safe, and the things we want are there." ”
"How do you know so well?" David was puzzled.
"Because this dockyard is one of the many branches of the organization, of course I can easily look up the dockyard information. ”
"It's good to have a goddamn spy." David said.
"So, what's your plan?"
"There is only one ground entrance and exit of this dock, the dock is closed, we can't know whether the dock is dry or full of water now, I think, since this dock is not shipbuilding, the waterproof gate may be closed, there should be no seawater in the dock, you see, there are a lot of moored speedboats in the small dock next to the dock, and there are not many of them, we go in directly to kill them, and leave by speedboat after getting the things, counting the unlocking time, how about five minutes?"
"Four minutes is enough." Toru Amuro loads his pistol.
In this operation, both men wore black combat uniforms and masks over their faces. They quickly approached the dock entrance and attacked the guards as soon as they saw them.
Six workers standing in the yard smoking and chatting were moved, hiding by a car or a pile not far away, and pulling out their weapons from their coats.
Two round grenades landed in the open field one after the other, and because the time interval between the explosions was very short, the two explosions that were supposed to appear merged into one. Deadly shrapnel flew in all directions, leaving no dead end - and no living person.
David and Amuro had never done a mission together, and the run-in between them was simply zero. However, whoever saw them in action couldn't believe that they were working together for the first time.
The two of them went up the stairs on both sides, and there were not many guards in the dock, and one died one less. In addition, the windows of the studio are very large, so you can see almost unobstructed from the outside in. Soon, they cleared the remnants of the enemy and walked into the studio.
Amuro throws David a ** and goes to crack the electronic lock of the safe. David placed the bomb on the dock's surveillance equipment and gestured.
Almost at the same time, Amuro used the device to unlock the electronic lock and put all the documents and files inside into his backpack.
At this point, three minutes had passed since the attack was launched.
There were no alarms in the dockyard, probably because the original designers didn't want to make it noticeable.
"I wish I could hear the sound of a car's engine." When he went downstairs, David said.
"I heard that, too." Toru Amuro said.
They all understand that the biggest challenge now is not these reinforcements in cars, but from the sea.
Stepping out of the dock to the dock, Amuro revealed his hand to knock out one of the guards who tried to ambush them here, and jumped onto a speedboat. David sat in the back with a submachine gun, and the next thing was the battle on the sea.
Starting the speedboat, Amuro made a sharp turn to leave the dock. It didn't take long for David to see several speedboats following them. The waves are not small, and the high speed of the speedboat causes the boat to be very bumpy, almost flying on the crest of the waves. David couldn't aim backwards, and even though the pursuers behind were shooting, the bullets had drifted to 108,000 miles.
"Can you slow down, just a little bit." David said.
Amuro slows down, and the white speedboat looks like a fish shuttle on the blue sea. David fired a shot: "Go!" Walk! ”
Through the rearview mirror, Amuro was surprised to see that a speedboat behind him had clearly deviated from the course. He flopped the throttle and accelerated forward.
"And four more!" The waves hit the submachine gun and David's face, and he simply removed the scope and fired with a metal sight.
"We're still a nautical mile from where we escaped, can we get rid of them?" Amuro shouted.
David shouted, "Stop! ”
After the gunshots rang out, he shouted again: "Go!" ”
Between stillness and movement, the chasing ships gradually decreased. Eventually, the only remaining speedboat turned to flee.
"Well done, Mr. David."
"Your driving skills are good."
Coming to a rocky beach, Amuro docked his boat. After the two left the speedboat, Amuro threw out a piece of **. The speedboat was reduced to pieces in the firelight, and this way of doing it gave David a further understanding of the person in front of him.
"I will take the documents back for analysis, please tell your young master, if I find important information, I will notify him as soon as possible." Amuro gathered his gear and said goodbye to David.
Watching Amuro's figure disappear into the rocks, David said, "Then the question is, how do I go back?" ”
……
The girl was silent, as was the girl opposite.
"It's a coincidence, maybe it's a coincidence?" Shiliang Zhenchun said, "Maybe this is a jade pendant that is very similar, and then there happens to be a person named Ji Haihong next to Gray Yuan......
I don't even believe in this reason! Shiliang had a headache and rubbed her hairstyle, she really couldn't accept it, Ji Haihong and that Ji Haihong were the same person?
"Maybe it's his brother!" Seliang suddenly came up with a reasonable explanation.
"The man died, and his brother got his captain's jade pendant, and then he kept it with him, alerting himself, and later he gave this jade pendant to a girl......"
The blonde girl said, "Oh? Do you think the younger brother of the god of war is an ordinary person who can give such an important thing to a girl to please him? ”
"Maybe?" Shiliang said.
The blonde girl withdrew her fist: "No, maybe, didn't you still suspect that one named Edogawa Conan before." ”
Shiliang covered his head with tears in his eyes: "Don't be like this, it's going to hit the stupid QAQ!" ”
"You're smart?"
"Then what do you want to QAQ!"
"I'm going to meet him, you can arrange it."
"Don't! I have a good relationship with him now, and I also have a good relationship with Conan-kun, if you do this, I will be treated as a bad person! "Shi Liang righteous words refused.
"Then stick your head out, and I'll add a Virgin aura to you."
Seliang was stunned for three seconds, then picked up his coat and rushed out of the room.
The girl sighed and focused her eyes on Ji Haihong's photo.
Long time no see, old friend.
