Thinking of the gap between them, Calvados suddenly felt a sourness in his heart.
"Forget it. Since my goddess has said so, I'll abandon the plan to assassinate Jiang Xia for today. Otherwise, I'll only make her unhappy." Calvados let out a cold snort. "But if that annoying guy runs into me again, I won't hold back—an ambitious Great Detective dying to danger and accidents is perfectly normal, isn't it?"
In any case, since he could not use this opportunity to kill Jiang Xia, it was time to consider his next move.
"Might as well take on a couple of jobs while I'm free." Calvados began contacting the organization members in Osaka. "It'll also create the impression that the shooter is still active in Osaka. Once those stupid cops send more manpower over here, I can avoid them and return to Tokyo."
Elsewhere.
Vermouth hung up the phone, unable to calm down for a long while.
The plan to capture Sherry had only just entered the preparation stage, yet Uzo and Calvados had already crossed paths... How exactly had Calvados caught Uzo's attention?
"It couldn't have been through me. I only made a few calls to Calvados, and never mentioned the details of my plan during them. That phone of mine wasn't being monitored either.
"As for Calvados—he's been carrying out missions recently, and Programmers regularly inspect all his devices. Those communication tools should be secure as well.
"But if that's the case... what is going on? Could it really just be a coincidence?"
If it had been anyone else, Vermouth might have believed that explanation.
But this was Uzo...
Vermouth anxiously bit at her fingernails. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly picked up her phone again and opened another contact.
Osaka, inside a concealed room.
