Chapter 929 Ireland’s Doubt

Vodka was driving a Porsche 356A on the highway in Tokyo. Gin beside him had just finished making a phone call and was entering another number.

Vodka glanced at Gin, and then turned his attention back to the road ahead. He said worriedly: "Oh no, brother, if we go from here, even if we can get there before the police, we will kill him before we can." Hit them."

Gin snorted disdainfully and said, "You won't hit the police."

After saying that, Gin's phone number was also connected.

…

"learn!"

There were many cross-bridges on the road that must be passed from Mika Town to Hachioji City. Chianti and Cohen were lying in ambush on one of the bridges. Each of them set up a sniper rifle and aimed at knocking down the passing vehicles.

Chianti looked at the vehicles approaching from far away through the scope and said calmly: "Good job, we barely caught up."

"I want the right side." Cohen said abruptly.

Chianti graciously agreed: "OK, I'll play on the left."

They targeted the driver and co-pilot of the vehicle ahead, Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato respectively.

Chianti saw Takagi Wataru driving the car and frivolously praised: "A lovely man."

Cohen followed up with a deadpan expression: "Nice woman."

During the conversation, their tacit understanding was evident.

However, just when Chianti and Cohen were about to pull the trigger, a bullet suddenly spun into the tire of the police car at a faster speed.

The police car immediately had a flat tire.

Only then did Chianti and Cohen hear gunshots.

Chianti turned around angrily and saw a silver Maserati appearing alongside them at some point, and the man holding a sniper rifle in the driver's seat of the Maserati happened to be a familiar face.

"Mezcal——" Chianti gritted his teeth and called out the man's code name.

Cohen glanced at the policeman who was forced to stop and silently put away his gun. Seeing Chianti opening the door and getting out of the car, he wanted to stop her, but Kildee didn't intend to give him this chance at all. She jumped out of the car in a few seconds and walked to the side of the Maserati.

Because he wanted to snipe, Nobuhiro originally left the window open. When he saw Chianti approaching with a ferocious look on his face, obviously wanting to settle a score, he closed the window with a wink.

Seeing this, Chianti became even more angry.

She slapped the car window frantically while shouting in an imageless manner: "Mescal, ambush the police officer is a task assigned to me by Gin, it has nothing to do with you! You hateful man, come out!"

Nobuhiro stretched out his little finger and rubbed his swollen ears.

In fact, Maserati's sound insulation effect is very good, and Chianti's roar reached Xinfan's ears at a decibel level that is acceptable to humans. And when Chianti is angry, the butterflies in the corners of her eyes will flap their wings and fly up and down with the trembling of their muscles, which is really lively and cute.

Chianti was still slapping the car window, but Nobuhiro had already pulled the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and was about to run away.

“Mezcal!!”

Chianti angrily followed the car and called his name, but Mezcal ignored him. The Maserati quickly disappeared at the end of the road, and all Chianti got was a dusty face.

Cohen shook his head helplessly.

…

After Takagi Wataru walked around the car for a week, he returned to Sato Miwako: "It should be that a sharp object was run over while driving, which caused the tire to burst."

"Yes." Sato Miwako responded softly, her eyes falling on the bridge not far away, her expression a little serious.

…

Due to the ambush encountered by the police car on the road, Gin and Vodka arrived at Shindo Sumire's residence first.

However, the small room was empty, and the floor was covered with scattered paints and brushes. It was obvious that a fight had just occurred here not long ago, and Shindo Sumire was probably abducted.

"Damn it, are we still a step too late?" Vodka was annoyed.

In contrast, Gin was much calmer. He quickly made a judgment: "There is no need to stay long, retreat."

Since Vodka was a fool, he would often leave his hair and chewing gum and cigarette butts containing saliva. As his eldest brother, Gin used to help him take care of it.

It was no surprise that Gin would do the same thing today, but by coincidence, Chianti called Gin at just this moment.

Gin never stopped at Shindo Sumire's studio.

"What's up?"

Chianti's anger has not dissipated, and his tone is not good: "What's going on with Mescal? He just came over suddenly and took away Cohen and I's task."

Gin frowned. He was surprised to hear the code name of Mezcal from Chianti's mouth. Logically speaking, he should be following Mouri Kogoro and monitoring the police's movements at all times.

However, Mescal's thoughts have always been strange, and Gin was used to it, so he said calmly: "I understand, you and Cohen are on standby."

"Hey, you mean you don't care about Mei..."

"Chianti." Gin's voice was two degrees colder, "Are you going to disobey orders?"

Chianti's expression changed suddenly, she clenched her fists, but in the end she said nothing.

…

Metropolitan Police Department·Special Joint Search Operation·Conference Room

"Matsumoto Kiyonaga" received a call from Miwako Sato——

"Not at home? Did you go out temporarily for something?"

Sato Miwako analyzed: "There are signs of fighting in the room. I suspect that Miss Shindo may have been taken away by the criminal in a car. Please investigate immediately! Also, please send personnel from the forensics department."

"knew."

The conversation between Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Sato Miwako was also overheard by Mouri Kogoro. He quickly stepped forward and asked: "Sato Criminal, is my agent Asano Nobushige with you? If so, can he Give him your phone? I need to tell him something."

Miwako Sato frowned when she heard this: "Didn't Mr. Asano return to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"No, and I can't reach you by phone..."

Before Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, the door of the conference room creaked open, and it was Asano Nobushige who appeared at the door.

"Sorry, sorry." Asano Nobushige apologized as soon as he entered the door, "There was a traffic jam on the road and I was delayed for a while."

Mouri Kogoro curled his lips and complained: "Really, as an agent, how can you not answer my call?"

Asano Nobushige took out his phone and looked at it, and he felt even more embarrassed: "Oh, I forgot to charge it last night, and now it has automatically shut down."

…

After the meeting, Ireland reported to Gin that night the latest search records from the Metropolitan Police Department: "Sumi Shindo has been confirmed dead, but the police have not yet figured out the meaning of 'Tanabata, Kyoto' that the victim said before he died."

"Yeah." Gin said calmly, "The efficiency of the police is too low, but Mouri Kogoro can infer that the murderer has a new target based on the mahjong tiles. It is worth noting that you can get information from him."

Ireland responded on the surface, but a layer of doubt appeared on his face.

How did Gin know about Mouri Kogoro's mahjong tile speculation? Although Mouri Kogoro does not look as powerful as his reputation, what Gin said is basically consistent with the facts.

Could it be that apart from him, Gin arranged someone else for the search meeting?
