Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 229
"Dear Mr. Wasp, why are you calling me at this time?" The middle-aged man greeted the phone in a very respectful tone.

"Nothing, I just came to ask when the batch of goods shipped to you before will be processed. Tomorrow is the delivery time." On the other end of the phone, a young male voice with a frivolous tone came through the phone receiver. out.

The middle-aged man heard the other party's seemingly indifferent but in fact obviously offensive tone, and responded somewhat sarcastically: "Well, you also know that there has been a small situation here in the past two days, and my manpower has been exhausted. We were sent out to arrest that little girl, so some construction was delayed. But don’t worry, we have arrested her today, and we can start work at full strength tomorrow. It will be delayed for one day at most..."

"Delivery on time tomorrow night, you have no room for bargaining." The young man on the other end of the phone, known as "Wasp", did not give the middle-aged man a chance to make excuses. He directly interrupted in an indifferent tone, "I don't care. What reasons do you have, I only look at the results, do you understand?"

Faced with the other party's unquestionable attitude, the middle-aged man agreed with a struggling expression: "Yes... I understand. I will deliver the goods as scheduled tomorrow night. Please don't worry."

"That's right. I advise you to work hard and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. You should know that there are too many people in the organization who can replace you." I heard the hornet's joking voice coming from the phone. , "As for whether the little star ran away and whether he was caught or not, it's your own business. The Boss has no interest in knowing."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly without waiting for the other party to respond, leaving the middle-aged man staring blankly at the call interruption notification on the phone screen, his face turning blue and purple, and he looked like he was about to explode.

I saw him clenching his palm into a fist and hammering the desk hard, causing the ashtray originally placed on the table to flip over. Then he looked at the ash scattered on the table and sighed helplessly. tone.

The reason why he used Grace's incident as an excuse to get one more day was actually not because of the tight construction schedule, but because he wanted to use this day to do something about the smuggled jewelry that was entrusted to him. Use your hands and feet to see if you can pick out some wool from this large amount of goods.

Compared to the other party's condescending and bossy attitude, what frightened him even more was that his little thoughts seemed to be completely unable to escape the other party's eyes. The feeling of being manipulated and manipulated made him feel like There is a thorn in my back and a lot of pressure.

Feeling that the depression and pressure accumulated in his body were getting bigger and bigger, the middle-aged man felt that his whole body was getting hotter and hotter. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the office door, impatiently waiting for his subordinates to bring him someone to vent to. …

At the same time, Pu Siqinglan, who was watching the whole process of the man answering the phone through the mobile phone screen on the roof, frowned slightly at the moment and reminded the two people beside him softly: "Things may be a bit troublesome. Judging from that phone call, This stronghold is very likely to be related to the organization I belong to."

"What?! You mean that guy named "Wasp" is from the zoo organization? Sister Qinglan, are you sure?" After hearing what the other party said, Kaito's mood that had just regained his composure suddenly became provocative again.

Since the known members of that mysterious organization all use animal names as code names, Ishino proposed using "zoo" as the code name of the organization after the recent Egg of Memory incident to distinguish "winery" and Kaito. He Qinglan also agreed with this method of address.Seeing that Kaito was a little excited, Qinglan asked him to calm down and then explained: "Well, I have heard about that guy called Wasp before in the organization. He seems to be responsible for smuggling jewelry from overseas to raise funds for activities. Considering the business and personnel composition of this factory, it is basically certain that this is the place where the smuggled jewelry is disassembled, polished and assembled."

Estimating that these smuggled jewelry are most likely a by-product of the other party's search for Pandora, Ishino nodded and said to Qinglan: "In this case, we cannot expose our true identities during the operation, especially Qinglan. you."

With that said, Ishino took out the mask from his arms that had not been returned to Kaito before, turned to look at him and asked: "Do you have any other masks there?"

"The mask is just the one in your hand, but I have a few spare disguise masks and wigs, okay?" After speaking, Kaito used magic to make a thin mask appear on each of his hands. The leather case and a light blonde wavy wig were thrown to the other party casually.

Taking the simple disguise suit thrown by Kaito, Ishino looked it over and handed the mask to Qinglan who was standing aside and said: "This suit should be a man's disguise, you Just wear a mask.”

Looking at the length of the wig in the opponent's hand, Qinglan glanced curiously at Kaito, who had a somewhat triumphant expression on his face. Without asking any more questions, he took the mask from Ishino and put it on his head directly, turning his head left and right. It didn't take long to get used to the mask's field of view.

Ishino didn't pay attention to Kaito's expression, and neatly put on the disguise holster on his face, then put the wig on the outermost part, opened the small folding mirror he carried with him, and made fine adjustments to himself in the mirror.

Looking in the mirror, he seemed to have seen the face of a European young man who was a little too fair but extremely handsome in the memory of his original world. Then he raised his head and saw Kaito across from him who had also completed his disguise. He immediately understood him. I couldn't help but feel amused by my brother-in-law's childlike and ubiquitous competitive spirit.

I saw that Kaito's face at this moment was that of a handsome man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He had a white headband on his forehead. He didn't know when a long whip appeared in his hand, and he whipped it around. He was quite proud of it.

Ishino didn't expect that his favorite game character would exist in this world. While complaining about Kaito being a middle school boy who loves all kinds of games, he also curiously asked: "Shouldn't there be another one?" Is this the right suit for a blonde girl?”

Kaito didn't expect that the other party also knew the characters in this game, and this was the first question he asked. His cheeks twitched and he replied: "Hey, I'm not a pervert, why do I carry a female disguise suit with me? Although I have indeed disguised myself as Mao Lilan before, but that was a pre-prepared situation, not a temporary disguise."
