In this respect, he is different from Xiaoqin. Once Xiaoqin discovers an undercover agent, she will never say a word. She will just shoot him twice and then leave.
On the other hand, Shirakawa Kiyoshi is more moderate. He prefers to squeeze out the surplus value of the undercover agent first and then deal with him.
It's all about maximizing utilization...
Of course, right now Bai Heqing also needs to help Xiaoqin deal with the crisis of the organization's undercover list being leaked.
Alas, this is probably the daily life of an old cadre (father)...
"Click."
Just then, the door of the Porsche was opened and a middle-aged man got in.
The middle-aged woman had a mediocre appearance, the kind of person who would not have much of a special feature if thrown into a crowd of people, but Bai Heqing still recognized her identity at a glance.
"Long time no see, Vermouth."
The two of them sat in the back seat, and Shirakawa Qing greeted the disguised Vermouth with a smile.
He also changed his appearance today.
And he even disguised himself to have Vermouth's original face.
Bad taste.
Vermouth looked at Shirakawa Qing, and the corner of her mouth twitched noticeably. She turned her head to look at Gin who was sitting in the passenger seat and asked:
"Why didn't you tell me he would be coming?"
"Have you asked me?" Gin replied coldly without turning his head.
"whispering sound."
Without saying anything else, Vermouth closed the car door and sat next to it, trying to keep as much distance as possible from Baikawa Qing. Anyone could see that she disliked Baikawa Qing.
Similarly, Bai Heqing was sitting next to the door on the other side, and the two of them kept the farthest distance in the back seat.
"Vodka, let's go."
"yes, Sir."
In the passenger seat, Gin watched this scene in the rearview mirror with his eyes slightly narrowed.
The relationship between Regel and Vermouth was not like this at the beginning. At least more than a decade ago, when he had just joined the organization, the two of them acted together on almost every mission.
At that time, the relationship between the two seemed to be very good, and even Regler's disguise and voice changing skills were learned from Vermouth.
I don't know when it started, but the relationship between the two suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and they became so disgusted with each other.
Although he was very curious, Gin didn't want to focus on these gossips, so he never asked.
"What clues does the police have about this case?" Bai Heqing asked in the back seat.
In response to this serial murder case, the police convened a meeting this morning with detectives from various places where the incidents occurred, probably to have a preliminary exchange of clues held by detectives from various places.
Therefore, in addition to Ireland who had already disguised himself and blended in, even Vermouth also attended the meeting in disguise, in order to ensure that he could get accurate information at the first time and get back the SD card taken away by the murderer before the police.
"See for yourself."
Vermouth threw the notes she had taken from the previous police meeting to Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
Vermouth's handwriting was quite neat, and several key points were clearly written down in the notes. Baihe Qing took a quick glance at them.
The mahjong tiles with special marks, the places of death of several victims, the murderer's right-handed habit, the lost items from each person, and even Kogoro Mouri's outrageous reasoning about the mahjong clues in the meeting... Vermouth wrote them all down, no matter how big or small.
Obviously, this is another classic but boring puzzle game.
"That Maori detective is also at the meeting?"
As Bai Heqing asked, he casually pulled out a map from the back seat and marked the death locations of several victims on it one by one.
He knew Kogoro Mori, or rather, he had known him before, during the time when Kiyoshi Shirakawa worked at the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kogoro Mori's marksmanship is excellent, but his brain is not very good. Except for very rare occasions when he will have a flash of inspiration, he is confused most of the time.
I heard that he has assisted the police in solving many cases recently. Because he always looks asleep when reasoning, he is also called "Sleeping Kogoro" by the media and is very famous.
"I was specially invited." Vermouth replied briefly to Shirakawa Qing.
"That's it..."
After marking the locations of the deceased on the map, Shirakawa Qing nodded and stopped asking about Kogoro Mori.
"Any other clues?"
"A clue? Does Qixijing count?"
"Qixijing?" Shirakawa Qing looked at Vermouth in confusion.
"The last victim kept saying something before he was killed, and the detectives think it may be an important clue."
Vermouth lit a cigarette for herself, opened her lips and exhaled lightly, and suddenly the whole car was filled with the smell of second-hand smoke.
"Qixi, Jing..."
Bai Heqing frowned slightly and opened the car window a little.
"Kyo... Does it mean Kyoto? Tanabata refers to this year's Tanabata, or the Tanabata of previous years? Serial murders... Let's rule out the possibility that the murderer has mental problems for now. Have there been any special cases on Tanabata in previous years? For example, murders? Robberies? Or other cases where people died? The kind with a bigger impact..."
"On Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago, the Kyoto Hotel fire incident."
Just as Shirakawa Qing was thinking, Vermouth suddenly spoke.
Don't be silent, speak up!
Chapter 5: Conan, why are you becoming more and more like your father?
……
Two years ago, a fire broke out accidentally in a hotel in Kyoto. There were seven residents in the building at the time. After the fire, six of them managed to escape, but a young girl was burned to death in the hotel. This incident was even reported in the newspapers at the time.
"How do you know so clearly?" Baihe Qing looked at Vermouth in surprise.
Listening to what Vermouth just said, it seemed as if she was there at the time.
Upon hearing this, Vermouth simply glanced at Baihe Qing indifferently and did not answer.
Bai Heqing didn't ask any more questions. He organized his thoughts in his mind first, then gave the order.
"Ask Ireland to look up the details of the Kyoto Hotel fire two years ago and compile a report for me as soon as possible. Vermouth, you continue to follow up on the police investigation."
As he spoke, Bai Heqing looked at the map in his hand with the locations of the dead marked on it, and raised his hand to draw circles on two of the locations.
"I estimate that the murderer will definitely continue to kill people, and if my guess is correct, the next victim should be found in these two places."
"Hey, Sister Xiaoying, what are you thinking about?"
At night, at the Mori Detective Agency, the voice of an elementary school student suddenly sounded behind Karasuma Ying who was washing dishes.
"what?"
Karasuma Ying was startled and turned to look at Conan behind her, trying hard to smile.
"Conan, don't show up suddenly and scare my sister."
"Because I see Sister Xiaoying seems unhappy all day..." Conan pouted to act cute.
"Huh? Is there any?"
"Yeah! After returning from the Metropolitan Police Department with Uncle Maori today, Sister Xiaoying has been looking worried..."
As Conan spoke, he walked forward and grabbed the corner of Karasuma Ying's clothes, with a cute look on his face.
"Sister Xiaoying, did something happen to you? Please tell me quietly. I can help you!"
"Thank you, Conan."
Karasuma Ying smiled and raised her hand to touch Conan's head.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoying is fine. She just feels a little unwell today...Okay, don't think too much about it. Go back to sleep quickly. Don't ask for leave tomorrow."
"Yes~~"
After responding, Conan turned around and jumped out of the kitchen.
She is lying.
As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, Conan...or rather, Kudo Shinichi's expression changed.
He saw it clearly in the morning. After the police meeting ended and the detectives walked out of the meeting room one after another, Karasuma Ying's expression suddenly changed.
The expression on her face at that time was as if she saw someone beyond her expectations suddenly appear there, her face was full of shock and disbelief.
This is abnormal, because Karasumaying said personally that her relatives are all in the United States and she has no friends in Tokyo.
All the police officers who attended the meeting in the morning were Japanese. Karasuma Ying shouldn't have shown such a weird expression at that time, unless...
There was someone else who sneaked in among those police officers, and Wu Wanying happened to recognize that person at that time!
Conan lowered his head and reorganized his thoughts.
During the day, after the meeting, the police officers who attended the meeting left the meeting room one after another. First, Karasuma Ying looked at one of the police officers with an extremely shocked expression on his face.
Later, Officer Shancuncao, who went to the toilet, heard a cell phone key tone similar to "The Crow's Song" while using the toilet.
He was therefore certain that there were members of the Black Organization lurking in the meeting and immediately chased after them. Unfortunately, he only saw a black Porsche driving away.
So, who was the member of the Black Organization who infiltrated the meeting? Was it Vermouth, who was good at disguise? What was their purpose? Could this serial murder case be related to the Black Organization?
Could it be that they were the ones who made Karasuma Ying look so abnormal? If so, what is the relationship between Karasuma Ying and the Black Organization? What is her purpose in becoming Uncle Mori's assistant?
Damn it, my mind is so confused. There are too few clues now and I can't connect them all together.
Conan shook his head vigorously and glanced vaguely at Karasuma Ying who was still washing dishes in the kitchen.
But no matter what, he must deal with Karasuma Ying's abnormality...
"Conan..."
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out and straightened Conan's head. Mao Lilan held down the panicked Conan and said seriously:
"Don't keep staring at Sister Xiaoying. It's very rude."
“I wasn’t staring at you! Idiot Lan…sister! I, I want to go back to sleep!”
