"Swap the package?"
"Then should we take Nakajima..."
"Leave it to me, Abby. What are we going to do with this box? Also, what about Jean and Vodka..."
Nakajima? Mr. Nakajima!?
And...gin and vodka?!
When Conan heard these two names, the wallet in his hand became unstable and fell to the ground.
He finally understood that the guy on the phone was an accomplice of the man in black!
Tequila was startled and looked back.
"What's wrong?" Winette asked when she saw Tequila suddenly end the conversation.
"It was a little devil. A little devil dropped the coin on the ground."
Imp?
This name made Winnett concerned. When it came to the little ghost who was at the scene, the first person she thought of was Conan.
Could it be that Conan targeted Tequila because he looked too suspicious?
"In short, stay alert. Hold the box for now, I'll let them know," Winnett said, "Stay on the scene and I'll text you later."
Winette hung up the phone.
Tequila was also preparing to find a secluded place to wait for contact. At this time, Conan, who was crawling on the ground, shouted to Tequila:
"Uncle, could you please move your feet? I can't get my coin."
Although he acted cute on the surface, he was actually thinking: I finally found you guys.
During the brief conversation, he also obtained another piece of information: this mysterious organization is not a little bit huge, and Absinthe mentioned by the man must be an important member of it, just like gin and vodka.
Conan put his hand under Tequila's leather shoes. His action made Tequila unhappy. She stretched out her big foot and kicked Conan in the cheek, sending him flying backwards and falling to the ground.
Although he suffered a setback, Conan was not angry but happy instead.
He glued the eavesdropping device and transmitter made by the doctor to the soles of Tequila's feet, so that he could track it using the multi-functional glasses.
Conan began to imagine that this guy would lead the way for him and he would be able to find Gin and Vodka, the hateful guys who made him smaller.
He followed Tequila and saw him go into the bathroom.
Tequila went into the single room, and was troubled by the box containing unknown things. He sat on the toilet, waiting for Winette's contact, and soon, a text message came to his mobile phone.
"Leave the box somewhere and let me know where it is."
Tequila originally wanted to reply directly over the phone, but he quickly realized that the reason why Ibis didn't extend the conversation with him was because she was in a state where it was not convenient for her to talk on the phone, so he also sent a text message.
"Men's room around the corner from the hall, room two. What do we do next?"
"Get out of there and stand by. Don't leave in a hurry."
Winnet gave the order.
When she returned to the game room, she didn't see Conan. This made her more certain that the child Tequila met was probably him.
However, this cannot be blamed on Tequila. After all, most people would not think that a child who is still in elementary school would play a "thrilling" detective game, and if she had not repeatedly discovered Conan's abnormalities, she would not have been on guard.
Although it was a bit risky, she decided to do it herself.
Winnet took the bottled drink and returned to Xiaolan. As soon as she saw Winnet, Mao Lilan couldn't wait to ask her: "Ms. Winnet, did you see where Conan went?"
To go to the toilet, you need to go through the hall first, so Mao Lilan asked Winnet.
"I was on the phone in the corner of the hallway for a while, and I didn't see Conan. Where's Mr. Nakajima?"
Winnet deflected the question.
"He seems to have gone to the vending machine. I'm so sorry, I should have brought him back with me," Nakajima apologized.
Winette's body slightly shifted to the middle, causing the person passing by to bump into her lightly, spilling the drink in their hands on her. Seeing this, Mao Lilan quickly took out the towel she carried with her and helped her wipe it.
People who bumped into her apologized to her, and she accepted it calmly.
"Ms. Winnet, what should I do? It's so wet!"
"I'll just go to the bathroom to clean up," Winette said, "Xiaolan, you're worried about Conan, right? Let's go find him first. I think Mr. Nakajima will help me."
"That's natural!" Nakajima replied.
"Okay..." Mao Lilan responded softly and walked towards the hall.
Winnet and Nakajima also started to move. When they came to the aisle, Winnet, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke in a low voice - using the female voice in the "Cocktail" bar at that time, she said: "Mr. Nakajima, we meet again."
When Nakajima heard her voice, he quickly realized where he had heard it before. It was a high-risk transaction, and it happened yesterday, so he certainly couldn't have forgotten it. Winnet's answer cooled his enthusiasm, and he looked at her nervously, but he didn't stop.
"What else do you want? The thing has already been given to the person you explained it to!" He could hardly conceal his excitement, but his voice was not loud.
“If the deal went smoothly, I wouldn’t have come to you,” she said. “The things in the box are not what we need. In other words, you have breached the contract.”
……
220 Double Tracking (1w)
"Breach of contract? That's impossible. I confirmed that I put the list in there!"
Nakajima was afraid of the name "breach of contract". He met the person who had made the deal with him again, and the situation had exceeded all his expectations. The pastor in front of him was completely different from the woman he met, just like the difference between a snowflake and a lily, and it was impossible to connect them.
"But in fact, it has no lock, and there is nothing we need." Winnett asserted, "You'd better confirm it yourself. We can't pay a commission in vain..."
Winnett was standing not far from the women's restroom, she turned her head towards Nakajima.
"It's the men's restroom on the other side of this passage, room 2. Please go over and check it out. It's best to be quick. You know, people like us don't usually have much patience..."
Nakajima nodded and walked in the opposite direction.
He felt that if the other party wanted to harm him, there was no need to use such a deceptive method. If there was no chain, it was likely that something went wrong when the item was stored - he had already told the staff about it!
It was an unexpected disaster, Nakajima determined.
"But it's not a big problem. I just need to find another opportunity to hand the box over to the lady."
He came to the corridor on the opposite side and happened to see Mao Lilan holding Conan by the back of the collar to lift him off the ground. He smiled at Mao Lilan and showed off his top hat - he hadn't figured out why he suddenly appeared here. So he pretended to be worried about Conan's condition, and when he arrived, he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, looking like an embarrassed adult.
"I'm sorry, but I have to excuse myself for a moment."
After he finished speaking, he went into the men's restroom. Mao Lilan was a little confused, because on the other side of the passage, where Winnet was, there was also a restroom. She didn't know what happened in the middle, nor did she know the intersection of Conan in her hand.
"Let me go, Sister Xiaolan!" Conan shouted.
During the time he was caught, he had already let the tall man Tequila leave. Moreover, when he came out of the toilet, he did not carry the suitcase. He was 100% sure that he had left the suitcase with the Man Tian Tang logo in the toilet. Whether it was to confirm or track Tequila, it was equally important to him - not a single second of time could be wasted.
He has to find Gin and Vodka, and then get the antidote from them to change back to his original appearance! He can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Conan was like a big caterpillar, dangling in the hand of Mao Lilan.
"Sister Xiaolan! Let me go~ Just let me go~" He put on a stern face and started to act coquettishly.
"I really can't do anything about you!" Mao Lilan said, "Don't run around anymore, you disappeared when I wasn't paying attention. You look exactly like a certain guy..."
Mao Lilan thought of Kudo Shinichi in her heart. He was the same. As long as she looked away, he would blend into the darkness like a shadow. She wanted to catch up with him or find his trace, but it was as difficult as fate. After so long, she still hadn't seen him in person again - in the past, she had only been away for a short time to solve a case - and now she seemed to have become an accessory to the case, silent, and he wouldn't even turn around and say a word to her.
She was immersed in a moment of sadness. When she put Conan back on the ground, she saw him rushing out from beside her like Kudo Shinichi, as if he was heading straight to the crime scene.
However, before Conan took two steps, a wave of heat hit him from the entrance of the men's restroom. The rubble flew onto Conan's cheek, leaving a small, bright red wound.
He covered his face with his arms to block the byproducts of the explosion. When he opened his eyes, everything in front of him had changed. The ground was covered with debris, and one side of the building was completely blown up and connected to the outside air - what a violent explosion!
Conan is unimaginable.
If Xiaolan hadn't grabbed him, his bones would probably have been like these debris, covering the intersection of the men's restroom, and his whole body would have melted into pieces in the orange-red flames.
"Mr. Nakajima!"
He yelled and was about to rush in. But he was stopped by Mao Lilan and could not move forward. Then, Ueda and Takeshita from the staff also rushed over. Conan got rid of Xiaolan and went into the explosion site with them.
Nakajima was no longer inside.
The inside of the toilet was in a mess, and the plywood used as a baffle was impacted to every corner of the room. The center part was completely turned into charred powder, and the wall was charred.
Conan rushed into the thick smoke and ran towards the center, but there was nothing substantial inside - only the rising black smoke, but he soon noticed a detail.
When Tequila walked in, he was holding a suitcase, but when he came out, he was not!
This fully demonstrates that the explosives may have come from inside the suitcase.
Conan remembered that Tequila clearly mentioned Nakajima's name on the phone -
Should we put Nakajima...
Kill!
He should have been able to guess this possibility, but he was confused by the names of gin and vodka at the time. All he wanted in his mind was to find out their location, catch them all in one fell swoop, and get the information about the drug that made him smaller. He didn't expect this to happen.
Did Tequila go to all this trouble just to kill Nakajima?
He turned on the tracking glasses and confirmed through the eyepiece that Tequila was still in Mantiantang's company and had not left. This temporarily relieved him, and a new idea was brewing in his mind - to identify Tequila as the murderer of this incident and let him reveal the information of the organization.
Evidence, he thought, he must get it as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, Tequila, who had just left the bathroom, also noticed the explosion. Judging from the power of the explosion, if he opened the box without any preparation, he would be blown to pieces.
He began to be grateful to Winnet. Without her reminder, he would have been dead.
Because according to the organization's code of conduct, there was no need to ask another core member to look after him when it was just a small task - this was equivalent to the other party saving his life.
"But how did she know there was a bomb in the box?"
Thinking about the situation, Tequila guessed that Abris was also in the company at the moment, and was probably even around Nakajima Hideaki.
Not long after the explosion, the alarm sounded and he sent another email to Winnett.
"The police arrived right away."
"Cooperate with the police in their investigation. Check your shirt pockets, show them your business card, and make our purpose clear. Don't worry, you are only purchasing talent information, it's just a private transaction. According to Japanese law, Nakajima's transaction with you doesn't even constitute the crime of industrial espionage, so you are naturally not guilty of any crime."
Winnet replied as she rushed to the scene.
When he contacted Tequila, he prepared a business card with the corresponding identity for him and asked the subsidiary controlled by the organization to enter his name, which made the verification impeccable. As for household registration, it is not easy to investigate because it is often kept in the citizens' office in the hometown. Except for some personal certificate applications and major changes, it is basically not used, including schooling and employment.
Naturally, there were very few people who would go to the explosion site to watch. Winnet was just obstructed by the staff. Even though she repeatedly emphasized that she had friends nearby, the staff were unable to stop her.
She saw an intact passage, and Mao Lilan was standing at the fork in the road with her mouth covered.
"Xiaolan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." She said in a somewhat sad voice, "Mr. Nakajima..."
There were crystal tears in the corners of her eyes, about to fall.
Winette experienced the kind side of Mao Lilan. It was like a whisper close to her ear, but what she heard was Shirley's voice, a voice far away from killing and death, and it seemed to be saying "I love you". Then, she found that she was terrified by another kind of happiness.
She suddenly remembered what Sister Alyssa said, that people always like to find the person they like in another person.
That's probably what happened.
If they were not in the organization, Winnet thought, their kindness would definitely be shared, but her Shirley would be more graceful and elegant, like a proud blue cornflower.
Winette understood what Mao Lilan meant, and Nakajima died in the explosion.
At the time, she asked Nakajima to check the items, with a 50-50 mindset, on the one hand to make him realize that he needed to resubmit the information, and on the other hand to let him try to see what was in the box.
Her true identity was revealed to Nakajima, so she had to destroy him before he opened his mouth. But she didn't expect that her joke would come true - there was actually a bomb in the box - leaving Nakajima with nothing left.
No matter what, a case involving a bomb is not a simple murder, and the intensity of the investigation has increased.
She realized that she had overlooked one thing. Today was the same again. Maori Kogoro, who had evolved into a famous detective, was at the scene. She felt that an incident of this magnitude should not be difficult for the famous detective. In this case, Tequila became safer again.
She comforted Mao Lilan and prayed for her.
May God strengthen her character.
Then she whispered a eulogy to Nakajima, hoping that his soul would be redeemed by God.
When she finished all this, the police came quickly. It seems that this is the only thing that deserves praise for the Japanese police. When faced with a case, they rush to the scene like mice attracted by the smell of dough.
Compared to the interior of the building, passers-by from outside paid more attention. The explosives had directly opened a hole in the wall, right at the No. 2 squatting position where the box was placed.
As a witness who had contact with Nakajima before his death, Winette also came to the scene naturally. In addition to her, there were Ueda, Takeshita and Conan. They waited on the side and watched the old acquaintance, Inspector Megure, inspect the scene.
After some inspection, the forensic personnel concluded:
