【Chapter 72】First encounter with Okiya Pleiades
It started raining early this morning, but fortunately it wasn't very heavy. In Ji Haihong's memory, whenever it rains, there is always nothing good. Either someone is sick, or the black organization is operating again, or there is another case somewhere......
Ji Haihong has not been comfortable in the past few days, since the last explosion of the Domoto Concert Hall, he has become completely famous. Not to mention that the TV media chased and intercepted him, and wanted to know some so-called "insiders" about the case, even those gossip "roadside clubs" were not idle. N kinds of speculation and rumors are flying all over the sky, so that he has to go out in disguise these days. Even so, there are dognose media who find him. Fortunately, the anti-reconnaissance technology that Ji Haihong learned before was not covered, and for these amateur media, they were all thrown away. The media waiting at the school gate couldn't do anything to him, with the help of Mr. Kobayashi and the dean of teaching, the gate guards were almost exhausted these days.
What's even worse is that Conan also laughed at him with some gossip newspapers. What "Ji Haihong's true identity is the son of Reiko Qiuting"; Reports such as "Ji Haihong is the illegitimate son of Mr. Domoto" have become Conan's jokes. Conan did this for a reason, the first few times Conan made headlines in the newspapers against the monster thief Kidd, stealing the limelight from Suzuki Jiroyoshi, and was laughed at by Ji Haihong for a long time. Finally, Ji Haihong couldn't help it, and called David in front of Conan and asked him to ask the bosses of those gossip companies to have a "good" cultural exchange. Overnight, the gossip disappeared so inexplicably. made Conan quite nervous, mistakenly thinking that Ji Haihong had killed those people. Fortunately, Ji Haihong explained in time, and it was really just some exchanges.
In fact, how David "communicated", Ji Haihong didn't know at all.
The Junior Detective Corps' incident collection box is set up in Motota's locker. During these days, Didan Primary School seemed to be very peaceful, and even the loss of kittens and dogs did not happen. Every time the children open the lockers with anticipation, they are greeted only by the empty narrow space and Genta's shoes.
Ji Haihong has felt many times that it is still very interesting to see the children's expressions from expectation to disappointment. What's even more interesting is that the children never give up because of this, and every day they believe that someone will commission an event to them.
Today, it's still the case. There was nothing else in the locker except for Genta's shoes. The children were disappointed, and Gray Hara comforted them: "Okay, isn't it good to have peace?" Conan smiled and comforted: "Yes, yes." Ji Haihong reminded: "I said, you don't have to be so discouraged, follow Conan, don't worry about no cases." ”
Conan Half-Moon Eye: "Nani ......" Gray Yuan will not let go of this opportunity to hit the detective: "That's right, follow Mr. Detective, there will be many cases that will be automatically sent to the door." "The children regained their confidence, and Conan was depressed.
Suddenly, Conan's phone began to vibrate. He walked to a place where no one was, turned his head, and found that Ji Haihong was also staring at him. Conan shook his head helplessly and pressed the answer button.
"Moxie Moxi?"
Teacher Judy's playful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hi, coolkid, it's just time to finish class, right?" Conan was shocked: "Jud... Teacher Judy? What's wrong? I called your phone many times and couldn't get through. ”
Teacher Judy said: "After the previous shinranpuri incident, the phone really broke, so I bought a new one, so too many things happened, in order to change the mood, even the number was changed, of course, I also told the new number to 'she' who infiltrated the organization." ”
Shinranpuri is the homonym used by Judy-sensei and Conan when they designed the hotel to find the murderer. Foreigners who know English well will think it is "Sitdown, Please", while prisoners who do not know English well will think it is "知らん振", which means "pretend not to know". (For details, see "The Collision of Red and Black: Suspicion - Death Breaker")
Conan asked, "By 'she' does it mean that the water has no mercy?" ”
Teacher Judy said: "Well, then I received a call from her, it seemed that she was racing against time to call, the content was very short, but she also said very clearly, 'A new member of the organization has been dispatched, an expert who is skilled in intelligence gathering, observation, and insight, and the organization code name is Bourbon, be sure to be dike'; ”
Nonsense, Ji Haihong thought to himself, judging from the plot he knew, Toru Amuro was probably the "first place" who graduated from the police academy. That is, the "person who has not been surpassed" as Date Air said. After professional training in the police academy, it may be an agent of a secret agency, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a few brushes.
Teacher Judy instructs Conan to protect the gray plains, and then ends the call. Ji Haihong and Conan tacitly did not tell Gray Yuan about it. At the end, Ji Haihong also joked: "Your friend 'Bourbon' has been launched." Conan was so scared that he almost beat him - can you say such a thing outside? If someone with a heart hears it, it will be troublesome.
But who is Gray Plains? She is not a first-grade elementary school student, and Bingxue is smart and has a black belly. It is difficult to hide it from her.
As the rain gradually drops heavily, and even an umbrella doesn't guarantee that you won't get drenched on the road, so Conan proposes to go to the doctor's house to play games. Gray Yuan knew that it was not that simple: "And then? Do you want to meet with the Doctor and discuss something, Mr. Detective? Gray Yuan's sly gaze shocked the two of them, for fear of telling the news of "Bourbon".
"It was Judy-sensei who called, right?" Gray Yuan asked.
Conan couldn't answer.
Gray Yuan pointed the topic at Ji Haihong: "What do you say? Mr. Mercenary? ”
Ji Haihong's eyes rose 45 degrees and hummed "The Most Dazzling National Style".
Gray Yuan was very dissatisfied with their perfunctory attitude. Fortunately, Conan finally comforted Gray Yuan: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry about anything." Gray Yuan was still not satisfied: "What are you, what are you hiding from me, right?" Conan struggled to support: "I said, nothing happened......
"Something?" Children are very sensitive to the word. Ayumi said, "Is Conan's mourning sauce an incident? ”
I want to be crooked...... Conan and Gray Plains Beanie Eyes. Ji Haihong snickered on the side.
Mitsuhiko said, "No, it's the back." The group looked into the locker and found a little boy putting letters in the locker.
Ji Haihong understood when Teacher Judy called that this time he could see the legendary Okiya Pleiades. Many fans say that Okiya is Shuichi Akai, and Ji Haihong also agrees with this view. Silver bullets don't die so easily. Moreover, Ji Haihong has killed a lot of people on the battlefield and knows the various reactions when people die. If Shuichi Akai really got a headshot, he wouldn't have had time to scream, and he wouldn't even have a chance to snort.
This little boy's name is Kaito Sugiura, a student in Class A of the first grade. The kid was quite concerned about the family's affairs, and wanted to ask the young detective team to go to his house to investigate the situation of a strange resident.
They made an appointment to go to his house tomorrow to check on the situation. Ji Haihong knew that they didn't have this opportunity.
Conan noticed that the address Kaito Sugiura said was very close to the doctor's house, and Gray Yuan also paid attention to this apartment, and the evaluation was quite high.
The next day, they went to Kaito's residence in Sugiura. Except for Ji Haihong, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. The once intact apartment had been reduced to ashes by the fire, and the smell of burnt wafted through the air, and crows hovered above with a desolate cry...... All this is unacceptable.
Just when the children were worried about the safety of Kaito Sugiura, the Metropolitan Police Department searched the section, and the police department of the head of the Gong, which specializes in investigating arsonists, informed them that no one had died last night, and that Kaito Sugiura and his father were all admitted to the hospital. In the "Red Horse" incident, it was also the police department who presided over the investigation of the arsonist.
Conan asks the police about the fire, and the tenants who have gone out rush back.
Ji Haihong has been paying attention to Okiya Pleiades, this man who is likely to be Shuichi Akai. And Gray Plains once again felt that terrifying sense of oppression. She nervously hid behind Conan and Ji Haihong. Conan asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gray Yuan is most afraid of being found by the people of the Black Organization, and she is very afraid that the people around her will be harmed. Just when she was at a loss, this sense of oppression suddenly ...... Gone. Such a big upheaval made Ashbara very uncomfortable, and although he didn't understand what was going on, he was probably safe now.
The children also saw that something was wrong with Gray Plain, and asked Gray Plains with concern, but they were all prevaricated by Gray Plains one by one.
Suddenly, Ji Haihong felt being watched, turned his head to look, and this feeling disappeared in an instant.
Sniper?
Ji Haihong looked around and found that there was no effective sniper position here, and he only felt that he was being watched, and he did not feel the danger.
In general, snipers will have killing intent when aiming at a target. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, killing intent will always occur. No matter how good this kind of sniper is, no matter how strong his marksmanship is, no matter how strong his various latent skills are, he can't escape Ji Haihong's feelings. Those who can do Ji Haihong's point are also among the best masters in the mercenary world. In Ji Haihong's memory, there were at least eight people who could do this.
In this world, there is only one kind of sniper that can make Ji Haihong jealous, and that is the sniper who does not move, does not panic, and has a heart like water. When this sniper shoots a living person, the feeling inside is no different from shooting the air. In other words, when they look at the target, it is like looking at the air, and the target does not feel the slightest danger at all.
Ulfrik can achieve this level, and Ji Haihong is inferior to him in this regard. On the contrary, on the frontal battlefield, Ulfrik will definitely not be able to defeat Ji Haihong - in every sense. So they became a natural pair......
This feeling of being watched disappeared, but Ji Haihong would not let his guard down. His gaze gradually focused on Okiya's body.
If Okiya Pleiades is really Shuichi Akai, will he be seen by Shuichi Akai the last time he and David went to rescue the stunned members of the intelligence station? At that time, Ji Haihong didn't wear a mask or anything like that, and his voice might be heard.
Okiya was being questioned by Conan, as if he hadn't noticed Ji Haihong's gaze at all.
