Chapter 428: An Unseasonable Halloween Party
After the Daughter's Day, it will be spring break in a few days, although Xiao Ai has begun to go to school, but the cough has not improved, I don't know if it is to take care of Xiao Ai's relationship, Xiao Lan also got sick.
Xiaolan, who had a fever, took leave to stay at home and sleep, but she was more afraid of ghosts than before, and she was suspicious at home alone.
In the evening of that day, Uncle Maori came home from work and took his daughter to the newly released hospital to see a doctor, laughing and saying, "What age is it now, how can there be ghosts!" Xiaolan, I didn't say you ......"
"But ......"
"Doctor," the uncle turned to Xinchu, "how is Xiaolan doing?" ”
"Her cold has completely cured," said the new doctor with a smile, "such a healthy girl, I think even ghosts will avoid it, if you have time, it's best to travel outside, and when you feel better, there will be nothing to do." ”
"That's right...... But then again, why are you alone here, your old woman and your servant? The uncle looked out in a daze, only their family came to see the doctor, and the huge new monk was deserted.
"Oh, I'll let them go to Aomori first, because I still have a task to finish," Shinide explained, "and I'll have to refer the patients here to other hospitals first, and I will have to testify to Mr. Mori's reasoning when the judge decides on the last murder here." ”
"That case hasn't been decided last time?"
"Yes, I heard that it is because there are too many cases waiting to be processed, but it is estimated that it will not be able to wait for a few days."
The new doctor chuckled and sent the uncle away, and stood at the door with his hands in his hands for a while, until he couldn't see him and then returned.
Instead of going to the office, he walked straight into his room, looking at the several photos on the dartboard on the wall, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Shiho Miyano, who was nailed by a dart in the middle, Conan and Xiaolan around him, and an interview photo of Gao Cheng carrying a wooden knife......
"The one who saved that woman was actually a hairy boy, Gin must be very interesting if he knew, right?"
……
Joto Detective Agency.
At dinner time, Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai sat at the dining table, holding an invitation letter in their hands.
"An out-of-season Halloween party? It's really out of time, Halloween has to wait until October, right? ”
Gao Cheng took the invitation and looked at it, and then looked at the eye-catching string of English letters on the envelope.
I don't know how many meanings the handwritten "Vermouth" is......
"It says that because it's a Halloween party, all the participants will be dressed as monsters, and they will wear black suits and black dresses on a 'ghost ship' in the port of Yokohama...... It's not easy for you to go in this way. ”
"I'm going to stay at home tomorrow to rest," Xiao Ai said calmly, "What, are you going to that ghost ship?" ”
Gao Cheng thought about it and checked the invitation letter repeatedly: "I don't know...... It always felt like something was wrong. ”
At the same time, the Maori family on the next street was also eating, and the Maori uncle, who also received the invitation, did not have a good face, and asked disapprenantly while picking up the rice: "And then, what is written on the invitation?" ”
"The letter says," Ran read the letter, "Your Excellency Kogoro Mori, the incompetent detective, invites you to come to this terrible evening on the night of the coming full moon, to be held on this blood-stained dress...... Of course, whether you attend or not, the dying lamb will curse his fate, and will the sinner indulge in this dying agony......"
"Ha, ha......" Uncle Maori darkened his face and the corners of his eyes jumped, "This is a challenge book for my detective Maori Kogoro!" I want to see what it is! ”
"I'm full." Conan put down his chopsticks next to him and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.
This old man is still so easy to deceive...... But "Vermouth", the sender's name, always felt wrong......
Taking advantage of Uncle Maori's tantrum, Conan quietly slipped into the bedroom and took out his mobile phone to contact Gao Cheng.
Even though he didn't know what the FBI's plans were, Conan instinctively felt a hint of tension, and now the only people he could discuss were Dr. Asasa, Hattori, and Takasei, who seemed to know something.
"Well, I received it too," Gao Cheng responded, "It's just a little strange, this party has been organized since last month, and the invitation should have been sent out a long time ago, how could it suddenly invite us at the last minute?" ”
"Don't you understand?" Conan said solemnly, "Vermouth is the name of the liquor like vodka and gin, and it is originally from Italy and the name is ...... in Japan Belmode. ”
Gao Cheng's eyes shrank: "This party is for us...... Keep an eye on the surroundings, although there is an FBI watching, it is not ruled out that it will be eavesdropped. ”
"I've checked, at least there won't be bugs in the office," Conan nodded, "What's next for you?" Going to the gala? ”
"Perhaps."
Gao Cheng hung up the phone and turned around to see Xiao Ai standing at the door with a frightened expression.
"No way!" Xiao Wai said sharply, "Can't go!" Ahem......"
Gao Cheng half-squatted down to support Xiao Ai, and laughed softly: "Leave it to me next, okay?" I've fought them a few times, but it's not as dangerous as you think. ”
"But ......"
"Actually, I'm also quite afraid of death, and I won't mess around if I'm not sure," Gao Cheng continued to persuade, "Besides, I haven't even talked about a girlfriend yet, wouldn't it be unfair if there was a case now?" ”
"Alright, alright," Xiao Ai nodded hesitantly, "That's true. ”
“……”
Gao Cheng sent Xiao Ai back to the bedroom to rest sullenly, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
It's good to convince Xiao Ai, but saying this seems to damage his image in Xiao Ai's heart.
The boss is not so easy to be a ......
Turning off the lights, Gao Cheng walked to the window with his hands in his hands, and the bright moonlight reflected on the street, and there was silence, although he didn't see anything, he seemed to be able to smell the unique dangerous aura of Akai Shuichi.
What he values most in the FBI is this person, a powerful character who used to be an undercover black-clad organization and whose ability is above Gin, Xiao Ai's brother-in-law, and the colleague of the city's detective agency who Judy said was secretly spying on him.
It seemed that he recognized Xiao Ai, but he was not sure, so he sent his subordinates to investigate......
It's really a headache, he has always treated Xiao Ai as a family member, but he is still an assistant to the outside world, and I don't know what Akai Shuichi will think.
……
In Tokyo Bay, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in a quiet and deserted parking lot, and Gin and Vodka walked straight to a black Porsche, their faces cold under the moonlight.
"The time is ...... at 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow"
Gin leaned against his car and lit a cigarette.
"That Halloween party will be held on a ship in the port of Yokohama......"
"But, big brother," Vodka said in confusion, "why do we go to such a place?" ”
"Belmode always acts alone with a command to spy on intelligence," Gin said coldly, "I've long been tired of this woman's mystical practices...... Although I didn't get permission, I won't let her go if she does something deviant......
"Even if she liked the gentleman very much......
"What about the guy who caused the trouble last time, aren't we going to track it down?" Vodka is uncomfortable.
Even though I've encountered it twice, that kind of guy is still terrifying, and I don't dare to let that kind of person get close to ......
Gin frowned: "It's okay to leave it for the time being, and sooner or later it will run into it." ”
