Chapter 3113 3117 [Betrayal] Asking for monthly ticketsヽ(〃〃)~
Day 2.

With nothing to do, Jiang Xia was planning to go to the detective agency to look through the mailbox. But halfway there, a young office worker suddenly rushed out from the corner, holding his stomach in a panic, bumped into him, dropped his bag, and ran away in a hurry.

"?" Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura of the apple that hit his arms like the wind and was blown away like the wind. He withdrew his hand holding the baton with some confusion: What is Vermouth acting today?
He had nothing to do anyway, so he tried to call out twice, but of course he failed to stop the person who was determined to run. Soon, the "passerby" completely disappeared from his sight.

After a moment's silence, an innocent psychic who was hit lowered his head and looked at the handbag that had fallen quite deliberately on the ground.

Amid the curious crowd of ghosts, Jiang Xia picked it up politely, opened it and took a look.

The bag has the logo of a famous travel agency on it, and the outside smells a bit of men's perfume, but the inside is a bit messy. It can be seen that its owner wants to create an image of a new social animal who looks delicate on the outside but is clumsy in private.

There were a lot of things in the bag, including a wallet and a cell phone. But what was more eye-catching was a stack of bound documents.

"Lawyer team training, time and place, reception matters, travel personnel list... Shirai Akiko?"

Jiang Xia looked at the internal document of the travel agency and quickly found the key point. His eyes lit up: "Curaçao is going here on a business trip?"

The aloe vera flavored savory tastes average when eaten alone, but it has a refreshing aroma. When combined with other savory flavors, especially dessert-flavored savory flavors, it has a unique flavor.

Of course, more importantly, among the many cadres, Curacao is elusive and slippery, and not so easy to catch.

Now someone suddenly offered her position to her door, and it would seem impolite not to go and meet her...

……

far away.

Vermouth was wearing a disguise and observing the situation from afar. Seeing Jiang Xia's reaction, she felt relieved: This thing is done.

Before this, she had actually thought of many ways to smoothly deliver the information to Wu Zuo: for example, she had found a client to pretend to be the client, and when submitting the materials, she would accidentally reveal the information she wanted to reveal; or she could really arrange for a travel agency employee to accidentally bump into Jiang Xia, causing him to drop the documents...

But after actually rehearsing it, Vermouth realized the trouble - no matter how she arranged it, the "carelessness" in the plan seemed very deliberate when she looked into it carefully.

So after much thought, she simply gave up the euphemistic method and chose to attack directly - this was an open conspiracy, and the bet was that compared with the relatively peaceful Tokyo, Curacao, who always avoided Uzo, would attract more of his attention.

"You can stay in Tokyo anytime, but you can't always be in Curacao. And judging from the psychology of a talented teenager, the more obvious the trap, the more willing he should be to step into it."

"The only problem is my motive. If he guesses that I'm investigating Shirley, it will backfire and arouse his vigilance. But fortunately, there is another shield - Calvados."

"Anyone who pays a little attention knows how miserable Calvados is now. According to common sense, I was the one who brought him to Tokyo. Now seeing his condition, of course I should lend a hand and help him divert Uzo's attention. This is reasonable."

"In a way, Calvados's return this time really helped me a lot..."

Thinking of the loyal sniper, Vermouth sighed silently, and rarely felt a bit more pity for him.

……

"You're going to Izu?"

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Kogoro Mouri was drinking a glass of wine while playing with the latest Yoko peripherals that Jiang Xia had just brought.

Hearing Jiang Xia mention the trip, he was about to speak, but Mao Lilan beside him moved her ears and came over happily: "Dad, let's go too."

Maori Kogoro was startled: "Ah? Why?"

Mao Lilan shook his arm: "It's been a long time since I last saw the summer. I also want to go to the beach and play in the water like other girls. And look!"

With a clang, she took out a few tickets: "I won a family travel voucher! It would be a waste if I don't use it."

Maori Kogoro bit the chopsticks with a crunch: "..." Why is this child talking so strangely today? He's actually acting like a spoiled brat. It's really scary...

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. He looked between Mao Lilan and Jiang Xia with suspicion, but didn't see anything.

But my sensible daughter wouldn't make a scene, and Jiang Xia wouldn't do that either. Besides, I was free anyway, and I hadn't been traveling for a while...

The old detective, who had a very free schedule, nodded and said, "Since you got the ticket, let's go together."

……

After deciding on the companions to take with him on the trip, Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction and said goodbye.

Mao Lilan went out to buy some snacks to go with the wine and gave them to him as well.

After leaving the detective agency and walking onto the warm breeze on the street, Jiang Xia turned to look at her and said, "Those tickets of yours were probably not drawn."

Mao Lilan's face turned red, and her face was full of guilt for being caught lying: "You found out, actually..."

After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her voice and whispered happily, "Actually, my mom is going to Izu soon. This is a rare opportunity, so I plan to trick my dad over as well and have them go on a date at the beach! - As long as they recall the sweetness of their initial love, my mom will definitely change her mind and come back home!"

Jiang Xia looked at this naive high school girl who hoped her separated parents could get back together, and was silent for a moment: "..." Let's not talk about whether their personalities can get along for a long time - if they really reconciled, with Kisaki Eri's sensitivity, Kudo, who is staying in your house, might not be able to be an "elementary school student" for long, and will be caught on the spot.

But wishes are always good, so he nodded and encouraged, "Come on."

"I'll try my best!" Mao Lilan clenched her fists. Under the cute action, she almost squeezed the air into a black hole. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked curiously, "What about you? Why did you go to Izu?"

This matter is easy to explain, Jiang Xia opened his mouth and said: "There is a client who wants me to come. Although he didn't say what the commission was, his background and wording sounded mysterious. I am a little curious."

——The so-called client was, of course, a fabricated fabrication. When he arrived in Izu and didn't see anyone, he said that he was abandoned by the mysterious client. Anyway, mysterious people sound unreliable, and no one would think it was wrong.

"So that's it!" Mao Lilan had no doubts.
