Chapter 244: Sit Back and Wait? Hunt and Kill the Criminals?
In Tokyo Cupto, an unknown underground market is brightly lit, with scattered stalls and shops selling goods. There are not many customers, and only a few haggling sounds can be heard.
If it weren't for the products sold here, they are all contraband items that are hard to see on the surface, and both the buyers and sellers here are all wrapped up tightly, with no faces and only eyes exposed, and they look like they are walking around. With a vigilant appearance, this place is basically no different from the small commercial street outside. The only difference is that there is less traffic here.
"It turns out that the black market is just like this. It looks quite ordinary, and there are so few people. It feels worse than a vegetable market..."
A person wearing a husky mask and covered by a cloak, who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, glanced back and forth at the underground market a few times and whispered something to his companion next to him.
"Don't look around, just be natural."
The companion, who was wearing a tabby cat mask and whose figure was also covered by a cloak, whispered an instruction in a low voice, and then continued to explain in a low voice: "It's usually very lively here. It should be that all the police in Tokyo are on the streets tonight. Probably because of the tight security patrol."
"Yes, we were questioned several times by waves of policemen on the way here. But speaking of this, I think the location here is not very hidden, and the defense is not tight. Even I, a newcomer, can be in your You can come and go at will under the guidance of the police. It stands to reason that no matter how useless the police are, they should have already heard about this place. Didn't you say that it has been here for many years and it hasn't been raided yet? Huh? yes........"
The man wearing the husky mask had a somewhat erratic mind. As he was chatting, he suddenly shut up and became thoughtful.
"It's just what you think. There's nothing you can do about it. The world is as dark as crows."
The companion wearing the cat mask sighed.
"No, I should say one is darker than the other."
The man wearing the husky mask shook his head slightly and joked, and then the two of them chatted and walked around the small black market, as if they were taking a walk after a meal.
Judging from the tone and voice of the two people chatting, as well as their intimate behavior, it is not difficult to judge that the two people are a man and a woman, and they are probably a couple. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stick it so close!
Of course, this is nothing surprising. There are quite a few couples who come here together, some of them are men or women, and there are even occasional scenes of "嬲" or "嫐", so "娚" is really normal here.
What? You ask why there are three people in a couple?
It can only be said that in the eyes of some perverts, triangles are very stable! Ahem......
Anyway, before coming in, when Akemi told Kishida these things, both of them looked incomprehensible.
As for why Akemi told Kishida such a thing, it was just that before, when the two said goodbye to Dr. Agasa after dinner and went to buy suits and masks, Kishida said, "When we get there, do we need to keep a little distance? So as not to be noticed at a glance.”
Then, I understand everything.
"You two, are you interested in taking a look?"
While Kishida and Akemi were chatting, when they passed by a vendor, a man wearing a mask with bangs that almost covered his eyes suddenly pointed at the bottles and jars of goods in front of him and said.
For some reason, Kishida felt that this guy looked very much like a guy in his previous life. He walked halfway and just pulled him into an alley. Then he opened his clothes with a lewd expression and asked himself if he wanted to buy some classic movies so he could go home. Take a good look at the vendors.
"What are these?"
A feeling of intimacy arose spontaneously, and Kishida immediately became interested. He casually changed into a mature male voice, pointed at a blue bottle on the stand and asked.
"This is 'Blue Ocean'."
The stall owner glanced at the blue bottle, explained in a leisurely tone, and then stopped talking. He seemed to think that as long as he said the name, the other person would know what it was.
"Blue ocean? What?"
Kishida waited for a moment, and then asked curiously when he saw that he stopped talking.
"Well!"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment.
"It's a psychedelic drug that's still well-known on the black market."
Mingmei pinched her throat and explained hoarsely.
"Oh, LSD."
Not paying attention to the fact that he had accidentally exposed himself to the black market for the first time, Kishida nodded clearly, a little disappointed, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.
A harmful thing, this name was lost in vain.
"Don't underestimate this psychedelic drug. Just one small particle in it can make you feel the warmth of the ocean and relax your irritable mood in an instant."
Seeing that Kishida lost interest, the stall owner still wanted to recommend it.
Since it is a new fat sheep, it must be slaughtered. Even though the woman next to him seemed to be a regular customer, it was obvious that this man was the predominant one among the two.
"I'm not interested. What about the warmth of the ocean? I'm afraid of Mercury retrograde! What about this?"
Kishida waved his hand, flatly refused, and then turned his attention to another black bottle.
"This is 'Nightfall', um, a hypnotic drug, very powerful!!"
The stall owner, who was a little disappointed at first, was happy to explain when Kishida didn't leave immediately. Moreover, this time he learned to behave and told the effect directly.
"How strong?"
Kishida's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
"It's almost instantaneous. The effect of the medicine lasts about two hours. It depends on the target's physique! But once the target drinks the water with the medicine melted in it, no matter how you do to her, she will be dead before the medicine wears off. I won’t wake up! Hehehe~~”
As the stall owner explained, he laughed obscenely, a laugh that every man would understand.
"snort!"
Mingmei snorted dissatisfiedly.
"How are you, my guest? Do you want a few bottles?"
The stall owner ignored Mingmei. He saw a pair of moving eyes from under the husky mask.
"Don't worry, what is this?"
Kishida was not in a hurry to buy, but instead focused on a red bottle.
"This is 'Burning Body', it's..."
"Strong aphrodisiac!?"
This time, without waiting for the stall owner to explain, Kishida could roughly guess the effect of the medicine from the easy-to-understand name.
"The guest is really smart!"
The stall owner gave a thumbs up to Kishida and praised, and then continued to add: "This is a good thing. No matter who it is, no matter what state it is in, once it is fed with this medicine, the whole body will definitely be paralyzed. I just want to... Ahem, if it weren't for my recent financial constraints, I definitely wouldn't sell it."
"Is it really that powerful?"
Kishida was a little suspicious.
"I have been running a stall here for two years, and I rely on my honesty and honesty!"
The stall owner patted his chest and assured.
"According to what you just said, this hypnotic drug can make people completely unconscious, and this aphrodisiac can make people only want to do what they want to do no matter what state they are in. Then if these two drugs are taken together Did you eat them at the same time?”
Kishida's eyes glanced back and forth between the black bottle and the red bottle, and he asked unexpectedly.
(⊙o⊙)…
"Well......."
The stall owner was confused.
Isn't this thing usually used alone? The most I can do is feed people the black bottle first, and then feed them the red bottle when they wake up. What is this guy thinking...
Seeing that he was speechless for a moment, Kishida was not in a hurry. His eyes flicked back and forth between the two bottles of medicine, thinking that if these two things were not expensive, he could buy them back and make some interesting props. Whether it is used for self-defense or for pranks, I think it is always useful.
The necessary experimental subjects have been thought of, and Shuichi Akai does his part! Well, now Conan is no longer the first choice in Kishida's mind. Of course, Kishida doesn't think he will relegate Conan to the sidelines.
"Dirty stuff!"
When Kishida was hesitating, Akemi's brows under the tabby cat mask kept furrowing, and she cursed in her mind, but hesitated to speak.
Firstly, this place is a black market, and it is normal to have these things. Talking randomly will only cause trouble; secondly, she can also see that Kishida is moved. Although she doesn’t know what he wants to use it for, she still cares about him. I'm very trusting, I believe he won't use such dirty things to do bad things that ruin people's innocence.
The most important point is that when you go out, you still have to give your man face...
Forget it, she sighed softly in her heart, and with a hoarse voice, Mingmei asked the stall owner: "How do you sell these two bottles of stuff?"
Why did Kishida feel moved but hesitated to speak?
She knows the reason very well! Because Mingmei has seen it several times in the mall.
It’s just that I’m worried that the price is too expensive!
After all, prices on the black market are not fixed and only need to be negotiated between the stall owner and the buyer.
And bargaining......
Mingmei thinks she is a professional!
------
"Huh~~ It's still comfortable outside!"
More than an hour later, Kishida was disposing of his changed suit in a deserted alley, blowing the cold night wind and holding some messy things he bought in his arms, and said with satisfaction.
"If it weren't for you, junior, we would have come up long ago."
While carefully hiding the purchased pistol and bullets on her body, Mingmei complained angrily.
"Isn't it rare to have a bargain-hunting expert? If you don't buy more things, you will lose money!"
Kishida glanced at her secretly, and couldn't look away from her for a while.
Without him, Mingmei was still wearing the same white dress. Now in order to hide the gun on her thigh, she had to tie a holster on her thigh first, and in order to tie the holster, she had to lift the hem of her skirt so high that her legs were exposed. That piece of white and tender pink skin looked even more delicate and charming under the moonlight.
"Gulu!"
Kishida swallowed silently.
It's strange. I've seen these long legs more than once at the beach. Why can't I control my eyes this time?
"It's not like I won't come with you in the future. Why don't we just come and buy it together? I have so many things in my pocket. If the police come to check again later, let's see how you deal with it!"
Akemi didn't notice anything strange about Kishida, or she was undefended in front of Kishida, so she still complained while holstering her gun.
"It's not a big problem. They don't search you. Besides, they should focus on the Tokyo Tower side of the search area now, right?"
Kishida shook his shoulders slightly without blinking, but the second half of his sentence was clearly spoken without confidence.
It is known from the original work that if the butterfly effect did not occur, the gangsters would install the first bomb in an elevator in Tokyo Tower. As for the installation time, although I don’t know, it is most likely tonight. After all, there are too many people during the day, so it is difficult to install a bomb on the elevator.
I just mentioned it to Takagi, but it was obviously not the decision of Takagi and Officer Megure to make the decision. Besides, I didn't dare to vouch for it, so the police's enforcement would definitely be greatly reduced.
In terms of prestige, Kishida can't catch up with Moori Kogoro, who has a wide network of contacts, great influence, and is deeply rooted in Tokyo.
"If the police don't believe you, it's their loss."
Putting the pistol on the holster, Akemi lowered her skirt under the regretful look of Kishida, the LSP.
"You just believe my guess? You know I don't have much confidence myself."
Kishida said with a smile when he heard this. He was really not sure how the case would change with his participation, but it had to be said that he felt very happy at this time.
"No matter whether your guess is correct, junior, they should also go and investigate. I heard from Xiao Ai that you have helped them solve several cases!"
Mingmei patted her dress, smoothed the hem, and said matter-of-factly. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and immediately added: "How about we go to the Tokyo Tower to guard it ourselves?"
Kishida shook his head when he heard this, chuckled and said slowly:
"No, we have another place to go..."
