The night lights were on and there was no one on the street.

Occasionally, a drunk would pass by and, upon hearing the strange laughter coming from all around, would quicken his pace and leave.

Following the sound, we came to a brightly lit villa.

"Hahaha, it's such a shame that you weren't here, Tequila! Next time I'll make sure to ask my brother to bring you along as well."

The room in the villa was filled with Vodka's arrogant laughter. Xia Chuan looked at the beer in the glass. Ripples spread from the wall of the glass to the center. It was worthy of being Vodka. It had the talent to practice the Lion's Roar.

By the way, what if the neighbors call the police if it’s so loud?

Vodka didn't notice his expression and continued to talk about the "heroic deeds" that happened at the Rice Flower Hotel that day.

"Princess Thorn is no match for me and my elder brother. I threw a bottle of vodka at her and she became so confused that she couldn't even see the road. Her fighting power dropped to the freezing point. If we are given a little more time, we will definitely be able to kill them both!"

"But didn't Shirley run away in the end?"

Xia Chuan did not expose him, but listened to him intermittently. He thought that Vodka was really good at bragging, and if he had not seen it clearly through the surveillance footage, he would have really believed it.

By the way, should I send the videotape to Vodka? I don’t know if it will make him too embarrassed to face people.

It is said that all the code-named members of the Neon Branch were dragged over by Vodka in the name of drinking to tell their heroic deeds.

So thick-skinned.

"It's that sniper! If he hadn't appeared on the rooftop of the office building opposite for no apparent reason, both Princess Thorn and Shirley would have died!"

"By the way, has the organization found out the identity of the sniper?"

Xia Chuan still attaches great importance to this.

As the sniper in Vodka's words, he was quite concerned about whether Gin would conduct any subsequent investigation on him and whether he had obtained any clues.

Even though there wasn't even a bullet shell left, it was Gin after all.

The situation was so urgent that he didn't even have time to put on a mask, and he didn't know if Gin saw his face.

Vodka waved his hand and said, "It was snowing heavily that day, and there was a road between us, so we couldn't see the guy's identity clearly. Then, my brother's car was blown up, so this matter was delayed."

"Actually, I suspected it was Akai Shuichi, but I heard from Vermouth that the guy seemed to have been urgently recalled by the FBI after fighting with the public security, and he probably won't appear in Neon in the short term."

"Oh?"

Now that someone has appeared to take the blame, Xia Chuan will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

“I think it’s very likely!”

Xia Chuan gave Vodka a look that said, "You're right," and then said, "There shouldn't be many people who can accurately hit a bottle in snowy weather, right? Perhaps the news that Akai Shuichi returned to the United States was just fake news that he deliberately released in order to turn himself from the light to the dark. We have to be on guard against this."

"What you said does make sense."

Vodka has finished reading one of the detective collections these days, and his IQ has obviously improved. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head again.

“However, Miyano Akemi was once Kurome’s girlfriend. When he left the organization, he not only did not take Miyano Akemi with him, but he also stole a lot of the organization’s secrets through her, causing Miyano Akemi to be punished by the eldest brother.

Shirley knew about this matter, how could she cooperate with the enemy? With her personality, she shouldn't do that..."

Xiachuan originally wanted to guide Vodka to point the finger at Akai Shuichi, but he didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few days, Vodka's IQ seemed to have changed.

"I think she might have joined a mysterious organization. The Princess of Thorns has appeared in our missions time and again. There must be something fishy going on. Maybe Shirley has found a powerful partner now."

Xia Chuan rubbed his nose embarrassedly.

“Not thick, huh?”

"What did you say?" Vodka looked at Tequila who was looking down in confusion, rubbed his eyes and said, "Keep drinking. I'll find a Porsche 356a for my brother tomorrow when I wake up."

Thinking of this Xia Chuan, his face darkened.

This was clearly Vodka's own job, yet he had to be dragged into it.

The key is that Gin actually agreed!

It's really speechless. I was the one who blew up my car, and in the end I still have to find a replacement myself.

I should have known better and shouldn’t have done such a bad thing, and made Gin hate Joel.

"But you don't have to worry too much. I have already investigated all the people who own a Porsche 356a in Neon. We don't have to travel too far tomorrow."

"where?"

"Izu!"

Vodka smiled confidently: "If I remember correctly, the Kyogoku family on the Izu Coast has one. Although it has been in the garage for decades, it should be fine if it is repaired a little bit."

"What did you say?"

Xia Chuan thought he had heard wrongly and asked again.

Izu Beach and Kyogoku Family? Isn't that Kyogoku Makoto?

"Any questions?"

Xia Chuan had a strange expression on his face. He was curious about how Vodka was going to get the car. If he was going to use money, then maybe he could succeed. But if he was going to use force...

That's a bit uncertain.

Don’t let Xianglin Sao get beaten up by then.

He remembered that this part did not exist in the plot, which meant that because he blew up Gin's favorite car, the plot had changed again!

Fortunately, the problem is not serious. With him around, Vodka should be able to survive.

Xia Chuan looked at Vodka with pity, hoping that he would not resort to violence.

"So are we going to rob or buy it then?" Xia Chuan asked the key point.

"Of course I bought it." Vodka said with a straight face, "After all, this is Big Brother's private matter. It would be very troublesome if we robbed it and something went wrong. It's better to just pay honestly."

Vodka patted Xia Chuan's shoulder hard, and said angrily: "Don't think about fighting and killing all the time. Sometimes you can solve the problem with money, so don't cause trouble."

In fact, he was planning to snatch it at first.

However, after the eldest brother completely took over Pisco's car company, he dug out a lot of money from the other party's small treasury, a total of billions, all of which were secretly accepted by Gin to avoid insufficient funds again.

Even though he had money, Gin didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

"I heard that the Kyogoku family is planning to reopen a B&B, and they are short of money right now. They have kept the Porsche for so many years, so as long as our amount satisfies them, they can definitely buy it easily."

"It looks like Big Brother has seized a lot of money this time." Xia Chuan sighed and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me the exact amount?"

"Fifty-five! Not counting the car company, all of his personal property was sold for a total of 5.5 billion. This guy is so rich, yet he still cries poor to Big Brother. He deserves to die."

"It's a pity that I didn't return to Tokyo a few days ago. Otherwise, if I took action, I would definitely be more reliable than Amuro Toru, and that Princess Thorn would definitely not be able to escape."

Vodka hissed, "Don't mention the Princess of Thorns in the base. Now Boss Gin goes crazy when he hears this name. Don't bring yourself into trouble!"

"what's the topic?"

Toru Amuro appeared out of nowhere, wearing the uniform of the Rice Flower Hotel. The nameplate of the lobby manager was very eye-catching.

"Bourbon, you have time to come to the base, aren't you afraid that you will miss work tomorrow?"

Vodka hates this kind of inward-looking person very much. He almost forced him to work as a secretary for the person he blackmailed. He is very resentful and naturally speaks impolitely.

"No problem. I drive fast and it won't take more than 20 minutes to get back to downtown Tokyo."

Toru Amuro answered while looking at Tequila.

It is said that this guy went out to hide for a while because of rum and just came back now.

But why doesn't he believe it?

If the other party is also a spy for a certain force, is he involved in the incident at the Rice Flower Hotel?

For example, the unidentified sniper!

After all, it was he who sent Miyano Akemi to the public security department, so there was no guarantee that Shirley was able to escape because of him.

"Tequila, want to chat for a minute?"

"What can I say here?"

Vodka was a little angry, thinking that I was the second in command of the Neon Branch (self-proclaimed), and I had to avoid him when I had something to say. He had reason to suspect that Toru Amuro was up to something.

"If you have any news about money, just tell me directly. I am most familiar with extortion and kidnapping."

He thought that Toru Amuro had found another target that could be threatened for money and wanted to get involved.

He had previously paid out of his own pocket to replace the Porsche for his elder brother, but now he was penniless and in urgent need of a wave of blackmail to stay alive.

Even though he can still drink good wine every day, this kind of life will not last long. Working under the big brother, he dare not embezzle public funds, so he wanted to take him along when he had bourbon and meat.

Amuro Toru thought Vodka was going to say something, but he rolled his eyes after hearing it. "Come on, when did I not give you the information when I met someone I could blackmail? The Metropolitan Police Department is going crazy because of the deaths of Pisco and Shigehiko Tsuchiguchi. I heard that the Public Security Department has also stepped up its investigation in Tokyo."

"And!" Amuro Toru pointed at the door: "I can hear your laughter from across the street. If you keep going like this, the neighbors will report you. If the police come, you will be in trouble."

Because vodka disrupted the situation, Toru Amuro had nothing more to say and left quickly.

Vodka lost most of his interest because of the last sentence.

Looking at Amuro Toru's departing back, Natsukawa rubbed his chin and guessed his purpose.

If Toru Amuro wanted to talk to me in private, it would be about Miyano Akemi or Shirley, or something closer, about the Rice Flower Hotel.

In fact, he didn't have much to say. If the other party really asked him, he would definitely play dumb. It was good that he was mixed up with vodka now.

......

The Izu Sea is also a scenic spot that appears frequently in Conan, at least in the early days.

Before coming, Natsukawa was a little skeptical, thinking that maybe he would meet Suzuki Sonoko this time.

Calculating the time, it’s almost time. She should be meeting her true love soon.

The character with the highest combat power in the Conan world - Kyogoku Makoto.

"It's here, the Wawu Hotel." Vodka grabbed his tie. He was wearing a suit in the middle of summer and almost died of the heat.

Xia Chuan was dressed in the same way. If it weren't for the prosthesis he added when he was disguising himself to increase his height, he would be exposed in shorts. He would definitely be wearing a vest and beach pants.

Difficult weather to comment on.

By the way, if he dated the eldest lady, the Kyogoku family might be able to rise to prominence. In that case, would the Kyogoku family suddenly not want to sell the car anymore?

I heard that the Kyogoku family was once wealthy in Japan, but by the time of Kyogoku Makoto's father's generation, the family had fallen into poverty, and the only thing left that represented the family's status was the dusty Porsche 356a.

"You two, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

A clear and steady male voice sounded from behind. Xia Chuan looked back and saw the combat ceiling coming back from outside.

Kyogoku Makoto is about 1.80 meters tall, a little shorter than Tequila, but Vodka needs to look up at him. He should weigh about 150 to 160 pounds. He has dark skin, a beach suit, and glasses, and looks gentle.

But the exposed skin and strong muscle curves are enough to show that the other person is not simple.

Her bright deep blue eyes, short black hair and determined look make people feel safe.

If he takes off his glasses, his momentum would probably improve even more.

Kyogoku looked at the two people in front of him curiously.

He is wearing a heat-absorbing black suit in such hot weather. You can't say he is not hot because his face is covered in sweat. But if you say he is hot, he doesn't wear normal clothes. It's hard to judge. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance.

Judging from their looks, the shorter one has a face full of fat; the taller one has a sinister look and an expressionless face.

One look at it makes people feel like they are going to stay away from it.

But out of politeness, he did not chase them away. What if they were staying at the hotel? He would be scolded by his father if he chased them away!

"If you two are staying at the hotel, please follow me. If you are passing by, please don't stand at the door."

Kyogoku Makoto was not very happy because the girl he liked was successfully hit on by another man on the beach. In addition, the two men in black in front of him did not look like good people, so he spoke rudely.

"You're right, I made a reservation in advance." Vodka took off his sunglasses and smiled what he thought was a kind smile: "My name is Uozuka Saburo, and this is my brother."

Xia Chuan interrupted and said, "I'm Kimura Katsu. Today we're here to see the boss for something other than staying at the hotel."

"Looking for my dad?"

Kyogoku looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds, then nodded and led the way.

After confirming that the two people were indeed on the hostel's list, Kyogoku Makoto felt relieved. "You two should rest in the room first. Father will be back tonight."

After arriving at the room and closing the door, Vodka suddenly became excited and asked with great interest: "What do you think of the waiter just now?"

Vodka's tone was extremely stealthy, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he was a bad guy.

"what?"
