The Whiskey Team was actually not called that at first. Their scientific name was the JPN Special Operations Team. The team leader was Yu Jiang, the only one who was not a whiskey drinker.
But later, because the team leader Yu Jiang always played a behind-the-scenes role, the only ones who actually went on missions were the three whiskey team members. As they did more and more missions, gradually, some people in the organization began to call them the "whiskey team." ".
The success of the Whiskey team is closely related to the clear division of labor. The team leader Papert is the absolute core of the team and is responsible for formulating action plans. Bourbon is an intelligence expert with first-rate ability to collect intelligence. Rai and Scotland form the team's strongest and most invincible team. weapons, with Rye as sniper and Scotland as observer.
Since formulating an action plan is a behind-the-scenes matter, Yu Jiang's work content is basically "spectating" and "dividing the spoils."
Yujiang's attitude towards this was very Buddhist. He wished that no one knew about Papet's existence.
"So why is it that your codename is not wine?"
In the middle of the discussion, Qingchuan Yu, who couldn't stand the painful expression on Amuro Toru's face, managed to get distracted.
"Isn't Papet the name of the wine?" Yu Jiang pretended to be stupid for countless times. "The organization doesn't seem to stipulate that the code name must be the name of the wine, right?"
What Qingchuan Yu wanted to say was choked back: "Well, that's true."
"Okay." Yu Jiang closed the notebook he took out from nowhere, "This is the general action plan. The specific plan will be adapted to the situation and work at your best. I believe you will be able to complete the task perfectly.
"The whiskey team must win!"
Qingchuan Yu + Amuro Toru:......
Sorry, they don't really want to admit that this guy is their accomplice.
Following Yu Jiang's passionate pre-action declaration, Moro Hoshida, who was belatedly arriving, finally stepped into the Moon Valley bar.
"Sorry, I'm late." I don't know if it was because he had worked with the polite and gentle Qingchuan Yu for a long time that Zhu Xingda also got into the bad habit of politeness.
"What's the mission?"
As soon as Zhu Xingda's question came out, the three people gathered their things and stood up.
"Let's go and do the mission." - Toru Amuro.
"This mission is quite difficult." - Qingchuan Yu.
"Huh? It's so rare. You also think the task is difficult?" - Yu Jiang.
"Haha, Rai is usually too confident. In fact, I always find these tasks difficult." - Qingchuan Yu.
Zhu Xingda: "..."
Should he thank Qingchuan Yu for mentioning him anyway?
What's going on with everyone else, ignoring him? ?
No matter what Morohoshi thought, the other three members of the whiskey group left the bar without looking back. Those who didn't know thought they didn't know each other.
Zhu Xingda sighed helplessly behind them.
Too normal, he often feels out of tune with other people.
…
Tokyo, Yoneka Town, Mori Detective Agency
The long advertisements in the middle of soap operas were playing on the TV, and the fan turned its head tiredly, making a "creak" sound from time to time.
Mouri Kogoro dozed off on the table, snoring loudly.
"Jingle Bell--"
Suddenly, the piercing ringtone of the landline phone rang in the quiet afternoon, tearing apart the harmonious and lazy atmosphere.
Mouri Kogoro was startled by the ringing, his whole body trembled, and his head hit the table hard.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts!" Mouri Kogoro said angrily, covering his forehead, "Who is calling me in broad daylight, is it polite? Do you know that others are still sleeping?!"
A tantrum is a tantrum, and when it's time to work, Mouri Kogoro won't be perfunctory.
He picked up the phone and asked feebly: "Who are you at the Maori Detective Agency?"
A string of English words came from the receiver, which gave Uncle Maori a headache.
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to come over and translate."
"Xiaolan——" Mouri Kogoro covered the phone and shouted upstairs, "A foreigner is calling. Come down quickly and help me ask him what he wants to do!"
After a while——
"Dad, it's true, I'm still making dinner, and the curry is almost burnt..." Mao Lilan complained as she walked down quickly and took the receiver.
After a few minutes, Mao Lilan's expression gradually changed from stunned to sad.
Although her English level is not as high as Kudo Shinichi's, she can still understand what the person on the other side of the phone is saying based on her English teaching in elementary school and junior high school.
Mouri Kogoro couldn't wait for a long time. When his daughter put down the phone, he immediately asked: "Who called and what happened?"
Mao Lilan took a deep breath: "Dad, do you know an American detective named Claude Douglas?"
"Oh, you mean Douglas." Mouri Kogoro laughed, "I met him at a mystery-themed sorority. He is very powerful and has attracted many beauties!"
Mao Lilan's eyes flashed: "Dad, when did you join the sorority, and you actually went to the sorority again!!"
Mouri Kogoro's face was stiff: "Ah, haha, did I just say a sorority? I said an exchange meeting, an exchange meeting! You must have heard wrong."
hehe.
After the daily gags at the Maori family ended, Mao Lilan returned to her previous depression: "Dad, you must be mentally prepared for what I am going to tell you next."
"Huh? What's going on?"
"That's it." Mao Lilan took a deep breath and said, "The person who called just now was Mr. Douglas's brother. He said that Mr. Douglas passed away unfortunately."
Mouri Kogoro was stunned: "How could that be? He has always been in good health."
"Mr. Douglas Jr. didn't say the cause of death. It seems that he doesn't know very well." Mao Lilan sighed.
…
When he went to school the next day, Mao Lilan told Kudo Shinichi about this incident.
She only said that one of her father's friends died young, but Kudo Shinichi suddenly became serious after hearing the name of Claude Douglas.
"Who do you think is dead, Claude Douglas?"
"Yes, yes." Mao Lilan was confused.
Kudo Shinichi's expression was solemn: "I heard before that Mr. Claude Douglas was investigating a very important matter, and he passed away not long after."
Although he did not rule out the possibility of death from illness or an accident, Kudo Shinichi's detective intuition still told him that there was something wrong behind this incident.
"Is Claude Douglas famous?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.
"He is a famous American detective, known as the contemporary Sherlock Holmes." Kudo Shinichi said seriously, "At the same time, he is also my idol. I have always hoped to become a detective like him."
Mao Lilan was silent.
She really couldn't connect the romantic young man whom her father described as attending a sorority with him and who was very popular among women, with the contemporary Sherlock Holmes that Kudo Shinichi said.
