Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 526: Who is targeting you?
In the villa of Retsu in Sanchome, Yūka-cho.

While Rei hasn't come back yet, Matsuda Jinpei is trying hard to add some spice to the instant noodles without damaging the packaging.

In addition to oil and vinegar, there are also chili oil, pepper powder, Sichuan pepper powder, ginger juice... and other spices as condiments that will make the dishes very delicious, but will make people choke if eaten directly.

At least when Matsuda Jinpei was adding, he had been choked several times, and now his eyes were still full of bloodshot.

"Success!"

Jinpei Matsuda's eyes lit up.

After failing on the 28th attempt, Jinpei Matsuda finally succeeded in adding the seasoning into the instant noodles through the gap in the lid using a syringe, and there was no apparent problem.

But how to make Rei fall into the trap, Matsuda Jinpei is still considering...

After all, if Lie really tore open the instant noodles, he would definitely smell something wrong, and he wouldn’t be able to cheat anyone... What if he made the noodles himself?
Jinpei Matsuda had an idea in his mind and decided to stop destroying the remaining instant noodles.

As for those failed products, Matsuda Jinpei decided to deal with them and make them taste normal for himself...

Although it's a bit much, he should be able to finish it before Lie comes back...

Maybe.

Looking at the mess in the kitchen, Jinpei Matsuda suddenly regretted why he was so obsessed with doing all these things.

"You can just use mustard to cook."

Well, it doesn’t have a noticeable spicy taste and can still make people choke to death…

He reflected on why he had not thought of the key point before, and decided to use mustard to cook vegetables next time.

but.

Just as he was about to clean up the mess, the phone suddenly rang.

Jinpei Matsuda's heart skipped a beat and he took out his cell phone feeling a little guilty.

After seeing the caller ID, he breathed a sigh of relief and answered the phone, "Mr. Ren, what can I do for you?"

The call was from Gin.

"Are you at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"...No, I'm at Mr. Lie's house."

"…Lie's house?"

……

As soon as Gin came out of the organization's management office, he called Jinpei Matsuda.

But when he heard that the other party was at Lie's house, his expression was a little confused, "What are you doing at Lie's house?"

Jinpei Matsuda remained suspiciously silent.

"Mr. Lie, let me help...cook."

Gin: "..."

Okay, okay.

It seems that after Asai Narimi was transferred, eating became a problem.

Gin, who didn't know that Jinpei Matsuda had prepared a dark meal for Rei, still thought Rei was quite smart.

"The Metropolitan Police Department took away some information about the organization today. It should be among the victim's belongings." Gin turned to business, "When you have time, see if you can get the information."

"Organization information?"

Matsuda Jinpei hesitated between his two current organizations. "Is it paper material? Or is it stored somewhere?"

Now, it was Gin's turn to be silent.

He briefly thought about the information Angostura told him. It seemed that he didn't say where the thing was. He could only cough dryly: "The probability of it being paper is not high... I guess you can only judge this yourself."

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

So he, the undercover policeman, is really useful, right?

"...Well, if you get it, it's okay to take a look at the contents yourself." Gin probably felt that it was not a good idea to let Matsuda Jinpei 'steal' the information when he didn't have any clear information, so he opened a back door openly. "Of course, don't force it if you can't get it. Safety comes first."

"...Okay, I understand."

After Matsuda Jinpei responded in a heavy voice, Gin didn't intend to disturb him and hung up the phone.

Then Gin got into the car. When he took out an old map, he saw a large navigation system on the central control panel.

After thinking silently for a while about when this thing was invented, Gin quietly put away the map and turned on the navigator.

Um...Shibuya. The last time Matsuda was spotted was in the western part of Shibuya...

"For Western restaurants..."

Gin poked at the display screen a few times, locked on a few positions, grinned, "This is it."

……

Shibuya.

Inside a western restaurant.

Angostura, who had finished his main course and was enjoying dessert, suddenly frowned and looked around quickly.

Anderburg sat opposite Angostura, holding a travel notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, writing something in a notebook full of obscure characters.

He noticed the strange behavior of his teammates, raised his head, and looked around: "What's wrong, Stella? Is there anyone strange?"

"...No, nothing. I just suddenly felt like someone was watching me."

Angostura looked around several times but didn't notice anyone suspicious, but his brows were still furrowed and he even looked out the window several times.

"Being targeted?"

Anderburg tilted his head, "But haven't those people already left Shibuya?"

"How should I know?" Angostura shrugged. "Maybe some unwilling fellows are here to test our foundation... but it doesn't seem likely."

Rather than saying that I was being targeted, it would be more accurate to say that I felt like someone was keeping an eye on me.

However, this feeling came out of nowhere, and there were no suspicious people nearby. Angostura finally attributed it to his own illusion, and then slowly finished his dessert.

Seeing that his teammates were not nervous, Anderburger did not take it to heart and continued to take notes. After Angostura finished eating, he said, "Today's meal cost is 700% more than the budget..."

Angostura froze. "Hey, Ambu, we didn't spend much money, did we?"

"Take out the 'we' and I won't eat a single bite."

Anderburg righteously proved his innocence, "You ate a total of one top bone, two fish fillets, three top fillets, and four buffets... Although the buffet is only charged for one serving, you ate more than seven people's worth, and you ordered four desserts."

"...Didn't you say you didn't want to eat?"

"Rain has nothing to do with me."

"..."

"Anyway, we have no money for dinner."

"Don't try to trick me. I know you brought a million dollars with you!"

"I didn't..." Anderburg avoided his gaze.

"Just admit it, you miser." Angostura sneered, and just as he was about to think about where to have dinner, he suddenly turned his head.

His sudden action startled Underburger - he quickly pulled out his pistol with an expressionless face.

Then he immediately pressed Angostura back.

"Amb! Do you want to be caught by the police for pulling out a gun in this place?"

Angostura glared at him.

Anderburger deadpanned, "So, what's going on?"

"We're being watched... our previous feeling was correct." Angostura looked strange and whispered, "Let's go outside first. It's not easy to operate here."
