Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Before Hosokawa Masahiko could speak, a slight rustling sound came from the cubicle of the men's bathroom.

Vodka heard the commotion in the men's bathroom, and couldn't help but sneer again, "Oh? Can't you calm down anymore? You are really careful, Hosokawa, and you even arranged your subordinates to be in the bathroom stall. inside!"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to ensure safety," Masahiko Hosokawa explained quickly, turned to look at the compartment and shouted, "You two don't need to hide, come out!"

When the two men walked out of the compartment, Hosokawa Masahiko smiled at the vodka again and said, "They did not bring dangerous weapons such as guns. Of course, if you mind, we can trade in another place..."

"No, you didn't bring any dangerous weapons, but I did." Vodka walked into the door with his briefcase and closed the door. "Don't waste time. Let's complete the deal as soon as possible!"

This was not the first time for Masahiko Hosokawa to come into contact with people from a mysterious organization, and he felt that he had already developed a strong immunity to the arrogance and arrogance of these people.

He knew that this organization was like having a large arsenal, with all kinds of guns and bombs available, and from time to time, gems, gold bars, or cash of questionable origin flowed into the black market. Their background was much better than his, who had been operating in the black market for many years. Everyone must be strong, and all the members he has come into contact with are like criminal madmen, and they don't care about human life at all...

I can't afford to offend him, so I just finish the deal honestly.

He is a businessman. In order to make money, it is understandable and worthwhile to be a little angry...

Faced with Vodka's unkind attitude, Hosokawa Masahiko had a correct attitude. Not only was he not dissatisfied at all, but he also warned his two subordinates with dissatisfied looks on their faces with his eyes.

He handed the large old briefcase in his hand to Vodka, "As promised before, we will check the goods and money here. This is the $600,000 in cash you want!"

Vodka also handed the briefcase in his hand to Masahiko Hosokawa, completing the exchange with Masahiko Hosokawa.

Hosokawa Masahiko took out a transparent plastic bag from his briefcase. When he saw the large and small gems in the transparent plastic bag, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Then he looked at the gems in the bag with obsession and some distress, and carefully placed them in the bag. He opened the bag, took out a gem and looked at it to make sure that the gem was not worn due to rough packaging, and then he relaxed.

While Masahiko Hosokawa was checking the gems, Vodka also opened the briefcase beside him, holding the stuffed briefcase in one hand, and taking out a wad of banknotes inside to check the authenticity.

The stacks of banknotes that had been looked through were placed on the sink with vodka.

Vodka roughly counted the stacks of banknotes and felt that they were almost enough, so he didn't count them in detail. He stuffed the banknotes into the briefcase and zipped up the briefcase.

Since the two parties had had several smooth transactions before, Hosokawa Masahiko simply checked the authenticity of the gems. When Vodka put the money into his briefcase, he had already looked at the small number of gems and started to pick them up. The plastic bag containing the gems was resealed and put gently into the briefcase. "Now that the items and money have been confirmed, let's..."

"Jingle Bell!"

A cell phone rang among the four of them.

Vodka was stunned for a moment, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took a look at it, pressed the answer button, and put the mobile phone to his ear, "Brother... now? Okay, I understand..."

Hosokawa Masahiko did not leave in a hurry, but stood aside and waited for Vodka to make a call.

Vodka didn't wait for Masahiko Hosokawa to ask. After hanging up the phone, he joked and smiled, "Hosokawa, didn't you arrange manpower outside the mall? Then for the sake of the happy cooperation many times, I will tell you a piece of news for free. Well, now there are police officers on the first floor of the mall, planning to look for witnesses to the nearby robbery and wounding case in the mall..."

When Masahiko Hosokawa and his two men heard "police", their expressions changed slightly, but they were not too ugly.

Vodka put his phone in his pocket and continued calmly, "There are patrol police at the exit on the first floor and the exit of the underground parking lot. I'm not sure if the police will send people upstairs to look for it. You should find a way to leave quickly! "

"Good afternoon, dear customers!" A female voice announced from the hall outside the restroom, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's shopping. Now I have to waste everyone's time to make an emergency report. Around nine o'clock this morning, a robbery occurred nearby. According to the description of the injured person who was sent to the hospital, there were many witnesses passing by nearby when the robbery occurred. The police hope to find the witnesses. If anyone was nearby at the time, I hope everyone can actively provide clues..."

The radio broadcast confirmed Vodka's words. Hosokawa Masahiko frowned, but was not too anxious. He said to Vodka, "In this case, let's part here. We look forward to our next cooperation!"

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the closed bathroom door.

Outside the door, a young female voice with a low voice said, "Vodka, a shopping guide on the fifth floor said that the customers he received in the morning mentioned the robbery and were suspected to be witnesses. They were calling the mall manager to report it. The police may be very likely. We’re going to the fifth floor soon!”

A look of panic flashed across Hosokawa Masahiko's face, and he frowned and thought about the evacuation plan.

"Hurry up," the female voice outside the door urged, "Gin said that if our buyers need help, you can bring them with you!"

Hosokawa Masahiko: "..."

He took back his previous words of 'we'll say goodbye'.

…

Vodka and Hosokawa Masahiko didn't hesitate and immediately left the bathroom.

Outside the door, Reina Mizuna stood leaning against the wall next to a cigarette vending machine, her eyes still blocked by her sunglasses, looking sideways at the shopping area outside.

Hosokawa Masahiko went out and saw Rena Mizuna. He guessed that Rena Mizuna was the young woman who reminded them outside the door just now, and stared at her twice.

In order to dress up as a trendy girl, Reina Minato not only wore sunglasses, but also sprayed colored hair gel on her hair and tied it into a ponytail. Her image changed drastically. She was not worried that Masahiko Hosokawa would recognize herself as a well-known host. She just watched Vodka and Hosokawa Masahiko glanced at each other, quickly retracted their gaze, and continued to look at the shopping area.

When Vodka passed by Rena Minato, he didn't say hello to Rena Minami. He walked straight towards the elevator. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone to contact Gin.

Hosokawa Masahiko followed Vodka, and couldn't help but look back at Reina Mizuna behind him, and whispered in confusion, "That woman..."

"Don't worry about her, she wants to stay and observe the situation." Vodka paused dialing, looked at the anxious-looking middle-aged man in front of the pen shelf, and smiled at Hosokawa Masahiko, "If you don't talk about me, don't you? Are you going to call all your people in? Is that guy one of your people too? With the uneasy look on his face, the police will be suspicious as soon as they see it."

"I am also for safety..." Hosokawa Masahiko smiled awkwardly and said to the person behind him, "Ask him to go together, hurry up."

Soon, another person was added to the evacuating team of four.

Hosokawa Masahiko brought three helpers, and felt a little more at ease. He thought that people from a certain organization had never missed appointments in the past few transactions, so he decided to put aside his worries about being "hacked" and led his people to follow Vodka, "What are you doing? An evacuation plan?”

"Leave this floor first!" Vodka thought about the reliability of his teammates and felt confident. He made a phone call and walked to the elevator, "Brother... yes, we are ready to evacuate... Huh? Over there at the escalator. ?"

Under the leadership of Vodka, the group slightly changed their route and walked straight in the direction of the escalator.

A group of people walked past in a hurry, attracting the attention of the shopping guides in the office supplies area. However, seeing Vodka dressed in black, wearing sunglasses and looking menacing, the shopping guides silently withdrew their gaze.

Members of violent societies are also human beings, and it is normal for them to come to shop. It is also normal for them to want to avoid the police when they hear they are coming... As long as the violent societies do not harass civilians, they can just pretend they didn't see them.

"We're almost there... Huh? The middle-aged woman who was checking out when we entered?" Vodka walked to the escalator and looked up to see a familiar middle-aged woman standing in front of the escalator. He didn't rush forward and tried to remember. The crowd I saw when I walked in.

Gin Jiu described the image Chi Feichi told him on the phone, "Wearing a white plush jacket, gray trousers, short curly brown hair, triangular eyes, and wrinkles on the brow..."
