【Chapter 246】Liaison
It was another quiet day, but the mood of the students at Didan Primary School was high. This day is the day of the fire drill, and the handsome big brothers of the fire brigade are installing professional tools for the drill on campus.
The tools used for the exercise were simple, with only a smoke generator and an orange inflatable corridor. The firefighters turned on the smoke generators, and the white smoke-like harmless gas poured into the inflatable corridor, and the children followed the firefighters' instructions to enter the smoke-filled inflatable corridor in turn.
The smoke-filled orange corridor is a realistic and safe recreation of the fire scene, and the smoke and orange interior make all students immersive.
After the drill, everyone from the Junior Detective Corps gathered. The children were excited to talk about their feelings.
"It's so realistic, I didn't feel the heat, but when I walked inside, it felt very similar to a lot of fire scenes that we had experienced before!" Ayumi expressed her own opinions based on reality.
Mitsuhiko agreed: "Really, it deserves to be a professional organization!" ”
Yuan Tai said: "However, in the entire school, it seems that our junior detective group is the one who really experienced the fire." ”
Hahaha~ Ji Haihong laughed dryly in his heart, doesn't anyone think it's strange? These children have inexplicably been through so many fires and are still alive. According to the statistics of professional organizations, the average number of fires encountered by a person in his life is no more than three times.
I finally understand the meaning of "average".
"Alright, everyone come and meet with me!" Mr. Kobayashi stood on the playground, and the students who were resting walked up to Mr. Kobayashi, counted the number of people, and returned to the class.
It's a normal day again......
On the way out of school, the kids still chatted about their favorite Kamen Superman. Conan and Ji Haihong walked at the end and discussed some things.
"So, you're going to get me to pull that friend of yours into line with U.S. intelligence?" Conan asked.
Ji Haihong said: "That's right, you know the benefits here." ”
Although Conan is serious, he is not a fool at all. Ji Haihong has already told him about the latest situation of the Night's Watch intelligence station. Conan didn't dare to jump to conclusions about Ulfrik's desire to cooperate with the FBI and CIA for the time being, but he understood that this matter was conducive to a faster investigation organization and more conducive to the protection of his own side.
Ulfrik's methods Conan has seen, whether it is Ji Haihong's tricky matter or the attack on the Night's Watch intelligence station, this battlefield "Grim Reaper" who has not been seen for a long time will immediately send mobile troops to reinforce. Moreover, Ulfrik has a very wide range of relationships, and has cooperative relations with the US military, and in terms of efficiency, Ulfrik's mercenary company is faster and more reliable than the FBI in handling emergencies.
Now, Conan's side can be called red. Although the red side has a lot of backgrounds, such as the FBI where Akai Shuichi is located, and the CIA where Mizumi no Rena (Hondo Eikai) is located, their movement in Japan is very inconvenient, and they can even be described as sneaky. In addition to this, they do not have many resources at their disposal, Japan is the home of the organization, and the US intelligence agencies that are fighting away will suffer very much.
As for the power of Japan itself? Conan didn't want to count on it yet. Not to mention that Toru Amuro's code of conduct is contrary to him, and the organization does not know whether there are undercover agents in the Metropolitan Police Department or even within the Japanese Public Security. Moreover, Ji Haihong also called Amuro Toru "White Fang", making it clear that he wanted to draw a line with him.
In contrast, Ulfrick's power is quite reliable. This force itself is a private force, extremely powerful, with a very wide range of operations abroad, and in many black areas it is even more open than the FBI. Conan did not believe that the blackcoat organization had no stronghold abroad, and it was very important to crack down on the blackcoat organization not only from Japan, but also from abroad.
At odds with the Japanese police, the FBI is tied up when it moves in Japan. Even if it does not operate in Japan, the FBI will not be able to do whatever it wants in the United States or other countries. Especially in some areas where Americans are not welcome, the FBI and CIA are even more difficult to do.
Perhaps, Ji Haihong's suggestion is a lubricant that can travel between various forces. Whichever force needs to cooperate with Ulfrik, cooperate with whichever force.
"You can think about it first, you don't have to reply to me soon, I'll go to Brother Cat, talk to him, and let him talk about suggestions, how about it?" Ji Haihong is not a person who is eager for quick success, what kind of dishes to cook and what kind of fire is his style.
"Okay, why don't we both go together." Conan said.
"Where are we going together? The two of you. Gray Yuan, who was walking silently in front of him, suddenly turned around.
"Huh?" The children's attention was drawn and they all turned to look at them.
Suddenly I felt a lot of pressure......
Ji Haihong immediately responded with a smile: "We want to turn around and go to a family...... Hospital! Yes, the hospital, a relative of Conan lives there, and I know him too, so we're going to check it out! ”
Children are naturally very afraid of the hospital, and the excuse that Ji Haihong thought of successfully dispelled the mentality of the children to go with them. However, Gray Plains never eats this set.
"Let them go, these two boys are really pitiful." Dropping an unclear word, Gray Yuan left with the children.
Ji Haihong and Conan immediately took a small road to come to Okiya Pleiades, and when they entered the villa, they quickly closed the door, and both of them had a thief's expression.
Okiya was not surprised, he made tea for the two of them and put it on the coffee table.
Sitting on the sofa and resting for a while, Ji Haihong said, "What are we afraid of?" ”
"I don't know." Conan replied.
"Ugh." Both sighed at the same time.
"Even if you're thirsty after school, you don't have to take a long detour to find me." Okiya urges them to get to the point.
So, Conan told him Ji Haihong's suggestion.
"That's right," Okiya straightened his glasses, "Anyway, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and if your friend can help, then I'm very welcome, and I'll contact James to ask him to negotiate this matter." ”
"It's really good that Brother Cat is so simple, and he has a lot of dreams at night." Ji Haihong likes Akai Shuichi's decisive and straightforward attitude very much, which is exactly the same as Shiliang.
"If the negotiation is successful, James will ask your friend for some support, and of course, in terms of interests, the FBI will not default on the debt of a large company like him." Okiya tried to convince Ji Haihong that although the FBI had a history of relying on debts, it still did not dare to play tricks against such a large company.
"When the time comes, my friend will send an expert to negotiate with you."
Ji Haihong was very happy that if the US intelligence agencies could negotiate with Ulfrik, it would be a huge boost to crack down on and even eliminate the organization. However, he did not want to interfere in the matter of negotiation. How much Ulfrik can get out of it is his ability. Ji Haihong will never persuade Ulfrik to make some "concessions that show sincerity".
It's not necessary.
Leaving the villa with Conan, they go home separately after saying goodbye. Ji Haihong came to the war center, but due to the time difference, he did not talk to Ulfrijk, but only sent the information negotiated with the FBI and other departments to the intelligence department.
To his surprise, the intelligence services quickly replied. Ulfrick had long expected that Ji Haihong would contact him, so he ordered the intelligence department to send a liaison to Japan to contact Ji Haihong if he received information from Ji Haihong. It was the first time in the company's history that the company had the same hatred for the U.S. intelligence agencies and made money by the way, but it was not allowed to be sloppy.
According to the feedback, the liaison's task is to contact Ji Haihong to understand the actual dynamics of the FBI in Japan and the current power dynamics in Japan.
Seeing the last sentence, Ji Haihong passed it directly. Although James should have received a notice from Shuichi Akai now, it is still not appropriate to contact them rashly, and it would not be good if it attracted the attention of the Japanese police.
The liaison's name is Sain, a European of the Mediterranean race. Judging from the photo, it is a chubby middle-aged and elderly person, kept
With a short beard and short hair, and a smile, he looks like a CEO-level person who is about to retire.
The next day, Didan Elementary School.
"Huh? Ji Haihong took a leave of absence? Hearing Conan say this, Gray Plains was quite surprised. Because there is nothing to do now, even if there is something, Edogawa should ask for leave. However, why did Ji Haihong ask for leave alone this time?
"What is the reason?" Gray Yuan asked.
Conan replied casually: "I don't know, it seems that I accidentally played a game last night and overplayed it." ”
It sounds like it really fits Ji Haihong's style - a ghost, this excuse has been used last time, okay? Ashibara wouldn't believe Edogawa's nonsense, but she's not the kind of person who is overly curious. Ji Haihong also has his own things to do, and Gray Yuan can understand it.
At the Tokyo airport, a man who appeared to be in his fifties dragged his luggage out of the airport exit. The older gentleman wears a white visor and a black shirt with some anime characters printed on the shirt. The first impression of this old gentleman is that he is from abroad, who works in the anime or game industry and likes Japanese anime.
There were many vehicles waiting in an orderly manner outside the exit, and the old gentleman carried his luggage and walked unhurriedly to a silver-white Volkswagen sedan.
Open the trunk of the sedan directly and put your luggage inside. The old gentleman opened the rear door and looked inside, then got into the car.
"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Sain." Ji Haihong shook hands with him.
"I've always wanted to come to Japan, but I don't have the time, so I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity." Sain said.
David quietly started the car and drove towards the suburbs.
――TBC――
Communication, negotiation, did the final result satisfy everyone? The road is narrow, how will Toru Amuro, who is unwilling to fail, act? The first suspect is actually ......
Ps: Don't worry, I'll make up for the chapters I owe slowly, thank you TAT
