Chapter 2643 2647 [Reasons for being busy] Asking for monthly tickets (づど)

Just after sending Vodka away, the phone suddenly vibrated. Gin, who was driving, suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked down and saw that it was indeed a call from Uzo.

Gin moved his thumb and his fingertips instinctively hovered on the hang-up button. But thinking of the consequences of refusing to answer calls and messages in the past...

After a moment of silence, the falling finger finally adjusted its direction and answered the phone.

"Vodka is gone, and my life is going to be boring again." A familiar voice came from the receiver. The young cadre on the other side sighed and arrogantly hinted, "What tasks do you have recently? I'm idle anyway, why not let me help."

Gin: "..." It seems that there is nothing serious, and this call should not be answered.

But now that it has been answered, it would be a waste not to say something, so Gin left a sentence "Continue to be a good detective" and hung up the phone.

…

On the other side, Jiang Xia looked at the phone screen that automatically exited the call interface, and sighed sadly: "He doesn't even want the helpers who come to his door, he deserves to be so busy every day."

The ghosts thought of the rare murderous smell of alcohol recently, and nodded with deep resentment.

But if Gin didn't say it, they couldn't pry out the task list remotely. Seeing that the night was getting late, Jiang Xia had to give up for the time being and go home to catch up on his sleep.

Before going to bed, he carefully counted the list of his subordinates.

"Okiya Subaru is always going back and forth between the two points, and Akai Shuichi has been able to hold back and not look for him until now... The cement barrels buried in Tokyo Bay are not as patient as him."

Jiang Xia sighed: "The twins are still working as maids outside. If they leave their jobs without permission, they will be fired by their employers... After all, there is only one Hashimoto Maya who is always available. It turns out that such registered younger brothers are the most useful. It would be great if we could pick up a few more similar ones."

As he was talking, he thought of vodka again. Unfortunately, this colleague's resistance to "being a younger brother to Uzo" was too strong. Moreover, "Uzo" was a newcomer who had not yet officially come into contact with the organization's affairs, and it seemed that there was no reason to ask this busy worker to be under his command.

"Let's take a look at what we have in our hands first - I don't know how the theater island is being built." Jiang Xia turned over while holding the cold ghost, thinking of the island in the middle of the sea and the ancient theater that was moved to the island. "Speaking of which, Vodka seems to be very interested in various magic tricks and circus acrobatics these days... Why not let Hashimoto Maya dig some magicians over to increase the entertainment concentration of the island in the future?"

...

On the other side.

A secret base of the FBI.

"Mika General Hospital?" James passed by and saw Akai Shuichi's screen, and was a little confused, "What's wrong with this hospital? Did you rush out just now for this?"

Akai Shuichi nodded.

Although the FBI's work focus was adjusted in time before, and the focus was returned to Belmode, who was disguised as Dr. Shinde, that was only the focus of others.

- As for himself... Compared with Belmode who was already under surveillance, he certainly wanted to catch the rare and tricky clue of Uzo more.

However, Uzo hid very deeply and never left any traces. Shuichi Akai thought for a long time before he finally found a solution that was not a solution - pay attention to places with abnormal murder rates.

This method cannot be said to be very good because as a big city with a population of tens of millions and a fast pace of life, people here have friction from time to time, and therefore many murders that are either sudden or premeditated have been brewed.

Shuichi Akai also failed several times because of this, but finally, hard work pays off, and he still caught a clue that might be useful through this stupid method.

"Have you seen the news?" Shuichi Akai did not answer James' question directly, but called up a news case with average popularity for him to check.

James quickly finished reading it, pushed his glasses and clicked his tongue twice: "This patient is really unlucky to be plotted against by the psychologist he trusts... I'm afraid his condition will get worse again."

As he said that, he flipped through the news, wanting to see this unlucky guy who had been fooled for two or three nights. However, after flipping through all the pictures, he couldn't find a figure.

"Don't look for him. He will definitely try his best to avoid being on camera." Shuichi Akai looked at his boss's actions and quickly guessed what his colleague was doing. He said, "I just went to the hospital to inquire about the situation. According to the doctor's description, this unlucky mental patient has a broad chin, a burly figure, wears sunglasses everywhere, and has a slightly overbite appearance..."

"Why does it sound so familiar?" James listened to this description, and a figure suddenly jumped out of his mind. He was surprised and said, "Could it be vodka?!"

Shuichi Akai nodded.

James was even more surprised. He couldn't think about this matter too much. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was weird everywhere: "He, he... Let's not talk about anything else, why did he go to the psychiatric department of Beihua General Hospital for hospitalization? Is he mentally ill?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he denied this speculation again: "No, according to the style of that organization, if this is true, they will not let an uncontrollable patient run around. They will definitely control him and then treat or kill him depending on the situation."

"That's right." Shuichi Akai, "So Vodka must have another purpose for appearing there - maybe for a connection, or maybe a trader had an accident in the hospital by mistake, and Vodka had to go find the lost mission item of that person... These cannot be confirmed for the time being, but what is certain is that he stayed in the hospital for so many days, and there must be some traces that cannot be concealed."

James looked at the ace in front of him, and remembered that he had just returned from the hospital, and he was happy: "What did you find out?"

Shuiichi Akai: "According to those nurses, when Vodka was in the hospital, he paid close attention to the news about magic and circus. Someone once saw him holding some simple props and studying the magic techniques seriously."

James: "......?"

What kind of important clue is this.

He kept muttering in his heart, but it was difficult to discourage the enthusiasm of his ace. So he could only scratch his head and comment dryly: "This person's hobby is quite unique."

Akai Shuichi shook his head: "Although the cadres of the organization do have their own hobbies, what Vodka saw in the hospital were some elementary and introductory things - rather than appreciating the mystery of the techniques, he seemed to be more concerned about how to understand and crack these techniques."

"In addition..." Akai Shuichi remembered another thing, "When I was in contact with Okiya Subaru, I saw a black cloud snow cat near him many times. According to Okiya Subaru, it was Usa's cat. The cat is very spiritual, and every move seems to have been specially trained."
