Chapter 1313 1321 [Save or Kill]

“…”

The moon is dark and the wind is strong, the river is cold and the water is icy.

Shi Kaobing stared at the man floating past him. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but shiver.

But after all, he was a murderous thief, so she quickly regained her composure, and a trace of suspicion gradually appeared in her eyes: Shouldn't this person have drifted away long ago? Why did he come back from another direction? It was as if he swam back on purpose...

But soon, Sikaobing denied this guess: with her alertness and the silence around her, if this person really swam back, it would be impossible for her not to hear any movement.

Maybe because she had been staying here, the boat disrupted the direction of part of the water flow, so this person was washed back?

"Oh, it's fate." Shi Kaobing sneered in his heart, pulled out the gun hidden on his body, lowered the muzzle, and pointed it at the guy who scared her. "In this case, I might as well give you a ride."

Just before he pulled the trigger, a gust of night wind blew by.

The sound of sirens was faintly heard on the river bank.

"..." Scoobing paused with his finger on the trigger, his pupils shrinking slightly: Why are there suddenly police officers here? !

Could it be that those idiots also predicted Kidd's escape location and planned to come here to make arrangements in advance? But if that was the case, they shouldn't have sounded the sirens...

Shi Kaobing didn't care about the people in the river for a moment. He grabbed the telescope and looked towards the river bank. He actually saw some police lights approaching.

She sighed: Although the gun was equipped with a silencer, the smoke from the explosion fell on the clothes on the boat, which was difficult to deal with. If I shoot and kill someone now, and the sharp-eyed police saw it and stopped me for inspection, things would be troublesome.

Shi Kaobing: “…” He was just an insignificant passerby and should not affect her great cause of stealing the treasures of the Romanov dynasty the next day.

She took a deep breath, put away her gun in frustration, and decided not to continue to pay attention to the annoying guy in the river. She wanted him to drown himself.

She turned and prepared to start the boat.

But just before the boat started, there was a crisp "splash" sound of water behind him.

"?!" Scoobing turned his head suddenly and saw the young man grabbing the side of the boat and climbing up. He was nimble and when he landed on the water, he had already flipped into the cabin lightly.

Maybe the graceful movement when getting on the boat exhausted all his strength. As soon as the man got on the boat, he immediately sat down weakly against the side of the boat and coughed twice as if he was choking on water.

After two seconds, when Scott had sorted out his expression, he just looked up at her in confusion, with a trace of apology on his face: "I don't have enough strength to swim to the shore, so I can only get on your boat first... I got the boat wet, you don't think you mind. I will compensate you later."

"..."Sikaobing never expected that this guy would wake up and suddenly climb up like a water ghost.

She held the gun in her pocket, barely suppressing the urge to draw her gun and shoot him, and her eyes swept coldly over Jiang Xia.

Then she was slightly stunned and her eyes stopped on his face.

Shi Kaobing: “…” Wait, this seems to be… that famous high school detective? !

…

In fact, Scott doesn't pay much attention to the situation in Japan.

But this time she was here to steal the treasure, and she couldn't rely entirely on Kidd, so she disguised herself as a "Romanov dynasty researcher" and planned to use this identity to directly contact the owner of the treasure - the Suzuki Group.

In order to facilitate the operation and also to select hostages, Shi Kaobing looked up relevant intelligence. She knew that there was a powerful detective near Suzuki Sonoko who often encountered murders.

When he saw the news during the day and learned that Jiang Xia had also come to Osaka, Shi Kaobing had casually thought: Jiang Xia might also be one of the obstacles in his treasure theft this time.

She had even thought about how to avoid revealing her flaws in front of the detective tomorrow, but she didn't expect to meet someone suddenly tonight.

…

At this moment, when he recognized the person who fell into the water, a thought flashed through Shi Kaobing's mind: If he could establish a good relationship, he might be able to use Jiang Xia as a cover.

Because apart from the detective, she will definitely face many obstacles tomorrow: the police, Kidd, other detectives... and maybe even experts specially invited by the Suzuki family to protect their treasures.

If Jiang Xia could be made a teammate, it is not difficult to imagine that many aspects would be much simpler.

but……

Shi Kaobing frowned again, thinking suspiciously: If Jiang Xia saw her observing the surroundings just now, and found out tomorrow that Kidd would get into trouble here, and then linked the two things together, then she would undoubtedly be at risk of being exposed.

As expected...

Kill him.

…

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shi Kaobing quickly made a decision.

There were police searching nearby, and guns were likely to leave gunpowder and knives were likely to leave blood. But fortunately, if you want to kill someone, there are many ways to do it.

——For example, the simplest one at present is to strangle someone to death.

She put on her gloves, flexed her long fingers, and took a step forward, trying to strangle the frail detective.

But at this moment, Shi Kaobing's eyes suddenly paused.

"..." I couldn't see it from the angle just now, but now that I'm closer, I can see a handprint on the side of the boat. It looks like it was left by someone trying to climb onto the boat - the boat planks are made of alloy. This detective...

The intuition honed by years of life-and-death situations made Shi Kaobing stop cautiously.

She suddenly recalled previous reports: Although she had never heard that Jiang Xia was good at fighting, there were several reports that mentioned that Jiang Xia had gone into dangerous situations alone in order to fight criminals.

But from the photos attached to the reports, Jiang Xia was always unharmed afterwards, and the criminal did not appear in the photo. One could only vaguely glimpse the back of an ambulance from a distance in the photo.

Shi Kaobing: “…” Something is wrong.

One has to be careful.

It's not that he was worried about not being able to beat Jiang Xia, but people have a strong desire to survive. If Jiang Xia is really that strong, he will struggle later, even if he dies by "strangling", there will definitely be many traces left.

The police on the shore were getting closer and closer. The same old saying applies: getting the "Egg of Memories" is the first priority, and you cannot expose yourself.

…

At this time, Shi Kaobing was opposite.

Jiang Xia seemed to hear her approaching footsteps and raised his lowered eyes.

There was no trace of doubt in his expression as he looked over, instead, there was only concentration and gratitude as he looked at his savior.

Noticing that Shi Kaobing had a strange look in his eyes, he followed the woman's gaze and seemed to understand something.

After a moment, Jiang Xia moved his body slightly to block the side of the boat behind him, and said awkwardly: "There is really no convenient place to hold on to the side of the boat, and the water is too cold, so I can only resort to this last resort. But... cough, please rest assured. As I said just now, I will compensate for any damage to the boat."
