【Chapter 30】Check the water meter

Ji Haihong likes to play music in the morning and evening, although he doesn't have many neighbors, everyone who passes by his door often knows that the owner of the villa plays music in the morning and evening. Over time, many people who like to exercise in the morning will take a detour from the front of the villa to listen to the beautiful music that refreshes the heart for a while.

It's tea time now, Ji Haihong prepares pastries and juice, takes photos as usual, and then beckons Xiaobai to enjoy this wonderful time together.

But before the first piece of pastry could be eaten, the phone rang.

I hate that! Ji Haihong shook his head helplessly and picked up the phone.

As expected, it was Conan who called, but his request was very strange: "I have an emergency here, bring your equipment to Dr. Asasa's house immediately!" ”

Emergency? It's rare for Conan to call it an emergency. Ji Haihong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately loaded himself with three magazines and a USP offensive pistol.

When Ji Haihong had just arrived at the door of the new house, he saw that Conan was already waiting there, and there was a rare anxious expression on his face.

It doesn't seem like anything. Ji Haihong greeted: "Hey, what's the matter?" I'm still having afternoon tea. Walking in front of Conan, Ji Haihong saw Conan holding a white envelope in his hand. The envelope gave off the smell of a mixture of feminine cigarettes and alcohol. Ji Haihong already understood that he was going to meet with the black-clothed organization again, and all the conspiracies and tricks would loom over the three of them, but he still joked: "What is this?" You've received a love letter again? Conan the Great Khan: "Why do you say 'again'!" Also, I think this letter is rather weird, it appears directly in my mailbox, so please take a look. ”

Ji Haihong took the envelope: "Take a look?" You're afraid of a terrorist attack. Although he didn't care about it, Ji Haihong still checked the envelope very carefully, and there was no problem with the envelope.

Conan said, "Let's go to Dr. Asasa's house and open it." The two of them went to Dr. Asasa's house.

The sun gradually hid behind the white clouds with its afterglow, perhaps trying to play peek-a-boo with humans. It's a pity that its body emits the most sacred light in the world, and no matter how much Bai Yun helps, it can't hide the brilliance of the sun.

Not long after the two arrived at Dr. Asasa's house, Dr. Asa received a call from Xiaolan. Xiaolan asked, "Doctor, do you know whose name is Vermouth?" The doctor thought for a moment, "Vermouth? Ah, I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I haven't heard of this name. The doctor looked at Ashbara, who was sitting on the bed wearing a mask. Is it? Xiaolan was a little disappointed, "Who is it?" Who sent such an invitation? The doctor asked, "So will Maori go?" It's tomorrow, right? Xiaolan said, "Well, what do you mean to be brave enough to accept the challenge to be a Tokyo person, and Dad is now asking Sonoko to help with makeup and is still worrying about styling." The doctor asked, "Makeup?" Xiaolan said, "Well, this invitation says that because it's a Halloween party, all the participants should be dressed as monsters." ”

Ji Haihong was in a hurry when he came, and he didn't have time to load the gun. He checked his current equipment: a USP pistol, a tactical flashlight, three spare magazines and a main magazine, a total of 48 rounds of 9mm Parabellum pistol rounds, NATO standard pistol rounds, and then loaded the magazine.

Conan's eyes froze as he opened the envelope, and he calmed his nervous mood and skimmed through the contents of the letter.

The Doctor asked a question that Conan was concerned about: "Companions too?" Xiaolan, do you want to go with you too? Although Xiaolan is a karate master and has a righteous heart, as a girl, she still can't escape the clutches of demon legends - she is most afraid of ghosts, and it is impossible for her to go to Halloween parties.

Xiaolan reacted violently: "How can you go, that kind of monster party." The doctor remembered that Xiaolan was afraid of ghosts: "Haha, that's what I said." Conan was relieved when he heard this, this must be a trap laid by the black-clothed organization, and he would not put Xiaolan in danger.

Finally, Dr. Asa finally ended the tiring call, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Gray Plains asked Conan, "Are you going to go too?" This ghost ship. Conan flipped through the envelope: "Well, the sender's name always doesn't feel right. The doctor asked, "Do you have any impressions?" Conan looked up at Ashbara: "No, it should be Ashbara who has an impression, because Vermouth and Gin are the same names as wine." Gray Yuan was a little relieved: "I haven't heard of it, and I'm not very familiar with wine." Conan introduced the name like a salesman: "Vermouth is English, and when translated into Japanese, Vermouth is Belmode." It was as if a sledgehammer had struck Ashbara in the heart, and she finally knew where the source of her recent fear and anxiety was coming from.

Ji Haihong sighed when he saw Gray Yuan's frightened expression. He sat beside Ashbara and held her shoulder, hoping that Ashbara would calm down. In fact, Ji Haihong is very curious, why is Gray Yuan afraid of Belmode? Was it just because Belmode might kill her? Ji Haihong became more and more curious about Belmode, the witch with a thousand faces.

Conan looked at Gray Yuan's panicked expression: "Sure enough, it's the name you've heard, which is the code name of the members of the Black-Clad Organization." Dr. Asa was also a little nervous: "Well, this invitation" Conan confirmed the doctor's conjecture, "Ah, it's an invitation from their accomplice, Belmode." From beginning to end, Conan did not show a trace of panic and fear, as if this black-clad organization was a local chicken.

"I don't know if they're ready for anything, or if they're already impatient." Conan walked up to Gray Plains, who kept his head buried in his arms, like an ostrich in danger, so helpless. "If you don't go, you won't be able to handle it."

"Nope." Gray Plains spoke. Ji Haihong can feel the changes in the depths of Ash Yuan's heart from the frequency of the vibration in his hand, Ash Yuan's heart has been struggling just now, all in all, it is very chaotic.

"Don't go! Give it up! Gray Yuan suddenly looked up, a frightened expression written on his face, "This is a trap!" If you go, you'll be killed! Agitated, Ashbara coughed violently again.

Conan didn't want to go either, but he had no way out: "It's possible." He flashed his watch and anesthetized Ashbara. Ji Haihong's hand kept the posture just now. In fact, anesthetics are sometimes a good choice as sedatives.

The doctor didn't understand: "Shinichi, what are you doing here?" Ji Haihong helped the gray plain and covered her with a quilt. Conan crouched beside the bed, "I'm sorry, Ashbara. Conan said, "If this continues, there will be no progress." Conan's conversation was clearly heard by Belmode.

The doctor said, "Then you will leave Xiao Ai here alone?" Conan did not reply: "Look, Doctor, this is the name of the recipient of the invitation sent to my house, and the envelope and the invitation are written on Kudo Shinichi, but the beginning of the letter reads" The doctor looked carefully and was very nervous: "Dear Edogawa Conan?" Hey, Shinichi, this is "Conan had a helpless expression: "Ah, it's been exposed, my true identity is the matter of Kudo Shinichi whose body was shrunk after taking APTX4896." The doctor's mood can no longer be described as nervous, and the doctor, who usually laughs, is also very shocked and panicked at this time. Conan said: "And I'm afraid that Gray Yuan is the matter of Shirley, a member of the original organization, and Ji Haihong's identity."

"Stop!" Ji Haihong stood up, "Don't get involved with me for everything, okay?" Conan said, "Do you still want to escape?" Or stay out of it? Ji Haihong clapped his hands: "You don't know who I am, I mean, what's my name?" Conan showed an idiotic expression: "Ji Haihong." Ji Haihong asked again: "What is my real name?" Conan was puzzled: "Ji Haihong? Ji Haihong asked again: "Then what is your real name?" Conan said, "Kudo Shinichi, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"That's right," Ji Haihong snapped his fingers, "Gray Yuan likes to call your real name in private, and you sometimes leak out that Gray Yuan is a former member of the black-clothed organization, and I am different, I don't have a fake name, and you haven't talked about my past in private, so even if this garbage called Belmode is eavesdropped, can she know who I am?" ”

Belmode's angry teeth itched: Stinky boy, you actually look down on me!

"She? How do you know it's 'her'? Conan asked. Ji Haihong said: "Do you still need to ask, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is a woman's name, maybe it is still an old woman's name." ”

Belmode's lungs are blown up: Damn stinky boy! No matter how good you are, I'm going to kill you!

The doctor returned to the topic: "But isn't that weird? Now that they know your identity, why don't they come and kill them? Conan said, "I don't know the reason, but if that's one of the reasons, I understand it somewhat." Conan coughed suddenly, and Dr. Asa said with concern: "You shouldn't be caught by Xiao Ai's cold" Ji Haihong said: "Conan, your physique is really weak, forget it, I'll make some brown sugar ginger tea." He got up and went to the kitchen.

Conan said to the doctor, "It's okay, oh? He received a text message on his phone.

Ji Haihong brought the freshly cooked brown sugar ginger tea to the living room. Conan asked, "Ji Haihong, have you been patrolling the neighborhood a lot lately, and have you found anything unusual in my home?" Because of the heightened security level and the school holidays, Ji Haihong often walked his dog around Dr. Asasa's house at night to observe the environment. Ji Haihong's heart trembled slightly: "Ah, this is not, I didn't find it." Conan said, "Have you been in there?" Ji Haihong said: "Don't worry about my character, if you find someone in your family, then we will go to check it at night." ”

In the evening, Ji Haihong came to his house with a gun and Conan. Conan checked the water, electricity, and gas meters: "Suspicious, still very suspicious, compared to taking the envelope during the day, the water meter, the electricity meter, and the gas are all moving a little bit." Ji Haihong had checked countless water meters in the mission before, and it was the first time he came to Conan's house to check the water meter: "Haha, don't be nervous, let's go in and have a look." ”

The two walked into the house, and Ji Haihong turned on the tactical flashlight. They went to the second floor and entered the bedroom. The door slammed shut, and there was the sound of a pistol being loaded.

This is not Ji Haihong's gun, his gun has long been loaded! Conan yelled, "Watch the back!" Who knew that Ji Haihong didn't move at all, as if he was scared stupid. A jet of water sprayed into Conan's face.
