After entering the Shinkansen, Gin and Vodka found a seat towards the back and sat down.
Today wasn't a holiday, so there weren't many passengers.
Seeing that there weren't many people around, Vodka casually started chatting with Gin.
He chuckled and said, "Brother, didn't that woman Miyano Akemi quit her bank job a while ago and start going to bars at night?"
"At first, I thought she was trying to hook up with a rich guy, to swindle money out of old men!"
"But a few days ago, that woman actually came to me with those maple leaf gold coins to exchange!"
"That's when I realized that woman had already gotten involved with that Azu the Bandit, who's been making waves!"
Gin didn't say anything, just listened silently.
Vodka was also used to Gin's style and continued, "Didn't the news report a while ago that Azu the Bandit broke into the Metropolitan Police Department and rescued that Italian guy?"
"He must have gone for those maple leaf gold coins, and now those maple leaf gold coins are in Miyano Akemi's hands!"
"I don't believe there's nothing going on between the two of them!"
After saying this, he frowned, looking a bit worried: "Brother, what should we do now? If we let her continue like this, she might actually gather 100 million yen!"
"Heh." Gin sneered, "It doesn't matter. Whether she gets 100 million yen or not, she will die! As for Azu the Bandit... he's not worth mentioning!"
Vodka chuckled and said, "Brother is right. This stupid woman is dead for sure."
He looked at his watch and said, "Brother, it's almost time to go make the transaction!"
Gin nodded, then he and Vodka got up and left the carriage.
As the two of them walked towards the passage between the carriages, Gin stopped without any warning.
"What's wrong, Brother?" Vodka was a little confused.
"Wait," Gin said, moving to the side.
"Oh." Vodka was also used to his Brother's strange decisions.
Gin looked at Vodka standing right in the middle of the passage and said in a cold voice mixed with a hint of exasperation, "Don't stand in the middle."
"Oh!" Vodka finally realized and also moved to the side like Gin.
The two of them waited there quietly.
Many passengers passed by during this time, and seeing the two of them, they instinctively assumed they were planning to get off at the next station, so they didn't pay much attention.
After waiting for five minutes, Vodka looked at his phone again and reminded, "Brother, there are ten minutes left until the transaction time!"
Gin still didn't say anything.
Vodka suddenly understood something and said, "Ah! I get it! Brother, you definitely want to intercept the target here and conduct the transaction right here!"
"This way, if that guy has malicious intentions, we can disrupt her plan!"
"Brother is so smart!"
Saying that, he cast an admiring look towards Gin, feeling that there was a reason why the other person could be the Brother!
And just at this moment, the carriage door opened, and someone came over.
The person who came was Shinichi.
The moment he pushed open the door and saw those two Black-Clad Men, he immediately regretted it!
He didn't know if these two people were waiting for him here or planning to get off at the next station.
In any case, turning back now would definitely arouse suspicion.
Shinichi saw a restroom nearby and was overjoyed!
He calmly and naturally pulled open the restroom door and went inside to use the toilet.
However, just as Shinichi was about to close the door, a hand suddenly inserted, preventing the door from closing.
This made Shinichi's heart pound fiercely, realizing that something was seriously wrong!
He quickly used both hands, trying to force the door shut.
However, Vodka outside the door forcefully opened the door with one hand, and he stared at Shinichi, grinning sinisterly, "I was wondering why Brother was waiting here, turns out he was waiting for you!"
"You were the one peeking at Toro Tropical Land last time, weren't you?"
Shinichi's face was changing rapidly, looking very embarrassed.
He realized that he had been discovered at the station, but the other party pretended not to notice and deliberately set a trap!
"You... what are you saying? I don't know you!" Shinichi suppressed his fear and asked back with a confused expression.
At this point, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, trying to muddle through.
"Heh, you're playing dumb, huh? Then I'll wake you up!" Vodka sneered and gave him two solid punches.
Shinichi didn't expect Vodka to have low intelligence and completely ignore his verbal tactics.
After taking two punches from the other party, he suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, seeing stars, as if he saw his great-grandmother waving at him.
"Brother, what should we do with this kid?" Vodka turned around and asked.
"The usual!" Gin took out a box of medicine, took out a pill from it, and forced Shinichi to swallow it.
A few minutes later, Shinichi lay on the restroom floor, twitched for a while, and then became still.
"Although that guy Sherry is annoying, the medicine she developed is really effective!" Vodka said with satisfaction.
"Let's go, it's not good to be late for too long." Gin turned around and left, not wanting to waste too much time on a dead person.
"Okay, Brother." Vodka closed the restroom door and quickly followed.
The two of them continued to go about the transaction as if nothing had happened.
——————————————
Noon.
At Teitan High School, Baishi Hui brought his lunch box to Class 2-B.
After learning that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence, he didn't find it too strange.
Because that kid also often took time off to handle other people's requests.
While eating lunch with Ran and Sonoko, he checked the current mission progress.
[Current Mission: Accumulate 100 million yen in stolen money, current progress: 12.5 million yen.]
Of this, 2.5 million yen was obtained from his collaboration with Akemi, where they killed Ni-san Society members on the street and split the 5 million yen they took.
10 million yen was obtained at Toro Tropical Land, by intercepting the money the Organization extorted.
And the maple leaf gold coins worth 60 million yen in Akemi's hands, after getting his share, he can get 30 million yen.
A total of 42.5 million yen.
There is still 57.5 million yen left to reach the target.
This is not a small amount of money, so he has to think about how to earn it!
"Ran, let's go shopping after school!" Sonoko invited, "Speaking of which, we haven't gone for a long time."
"Okay, okay! It's a deal!" Ran nodded eagerly.
During this time, she had been busy with Karate training and hadn't had a chance to go shopping properly with Sonoko.
Now that she was finally done, of course, she wanted to relax properly!
Sonoko turned her head to look at Baishi Hui and said apologetically, "Hui, I'm sorry! This is a date between us best friends, so we can't bring you."
"It's okay, you guys have fun." Baishi Hui didn't mind.
After lunch, after chatting for a while, seeing that Ran and Sonoko were both a little tired, he said goodbye and returned to his own classroom.
Baishi Hui planned to spend the remaining time online.
However, as soon as he opened the website, he saw a very eye-catching news headline —————— Mouri Kogoro, the Hero Who Saved People!
