Chapter 363: Amuro Toru: Two Me? Please give me a monthly ticket ()

When Jiang Xia received the email from Huibara Ai, she had already entered the studio with a group of children.

There is a scaled city model here. At first glance, it looks like a skyscraper reaching into the sky, but in reality it only reaches Jiang Xia's shoulders.

In the middle of this group of mini buildings is a monster called "Gomera" that is roaring and constantly knocking over and destroying buildings.

Jiang Xia's gaze stopped at this "monster" that was slightly taller than an adult male, and he looked at it a few more times.

It looks very much like a stegosaurus walking upright, with a dark, muddy and rough skin, and a row of triangular protrusions along the spine on its back... It's a bit ugly, but it has a lot of murderous aura around it.

In addition, there is another murderous person in the studio.

And it's quite high-end murderous aura...

Jiang Xia's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the lighting assistant on the sidelines.

…surrounded by a murderous silhouette, it looks delicious.

When the air conditioner blows cold air, there is a faint scent of apple.

Jiang Xia: “…”

...“Amuro Toru” is really haunting us.

…

Director Mikami is a person who likes children.

He kindly and enthusiastically introduced the staff and filming equipment here to Jiang Xia and a group of primary school students.

As he was talking, Gomera's filming came to an end.

A few staff members noticed the commotion and walked over to them, trying to play with the child.

Among them is "Toru Amuro", who works as a lighting assistant here for some unknown reason.

Disguise is indeed a skill that is hard to guard against, but psychics are obviously quite different from ordinary people - in Jiang Xia's eyes, the murderous aura on Vermouth is more conspicuous than a searchlight in the dark night and is very easy to distinguish.

Jiang Xia: “…” Speaking of which, Vermouth is not Amuro Toru. She doesn’t have a hobby of working part-time, and she won’t go to work in a crew that is about to disband for no reason.

So her appearance here must have some clear purpose.

Jiang Xia looked at Conan, then looked at himself, and felt that he understood.

Vermouth probably heard from somewhere that Jiang Xia was going to bring the kids to visit the studio today, so she came over to play when she had nothing to do...Except for Gin, everyone else in this group of drinks is slacking off.

Vermouth came to him regularly to send murderous intent, and Jiang Xia didn't object.

But if they always come up with this kind of sudden "surprise", they might bump into Haibara Ai or Amuro Toru's subordinates one day, disrupting Jiangxia's peaceful and stable channels for hunting ghosts...

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and felt that he should at least remind Vermouth to be more cautious and not come over to contact him so directly and blatantly every time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia's gaze fell on Conan next to him.

——The important task of removing the vest is now left to you, go ahead! A special treasure for Vermouth.

…

"Toru Amuro" had just taken two steps towards Jiang Xia and Conan when he was suddenly stopped by a colleague and asked to adjust the equipment.

Vermouth was reluctant in her heart, but now, she was playing the role of a qualified worker after all, so she could only walk back with a smile on her face.

The children had already run to the building model and surrounded "Godzilla" to look at it.

When there was no one else around, Jiang Xia whispered to Conan, "Have you told anyone that we're coming here to visit this weekend?"

Conan was also wondering why Toru Amuro was here.

Hearing Jiang Xia's question, he subconsciously recalled:

"Last Thursday, I met Xiaolan after school. She asked me why I didn't go to the movies with you and the kids. I told her that the movie was cancelled and we had a tour instead. After that, she went shopping for groceries, and I went to the bookstore to buy detective novels..."

Halfway through his words, Conan suddenly noticed that Jiang Xia's expression was a little more serious than before.

He unconsciously stopped talking so as not to disturb Jiang Xia's thoughts. At the same time, he vaguely realized where the problem lay.

Sure enough, Jiang Xia looked at "Amuro Toru" who was busy at the other end of the studio, and suddenly whispered: "There was a small test at school that day. When I got home after the test, I saw her going to the club training..."

Jiang Xia didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was very clear.

——When Conan met "Mouri Ran", the "Mouri Ran" that Jiang Xia saw was still in club training.

... Xiaolan doesn't know how to clone herself, so it's impossible for her to be in two places at the same time. Speaking of which, this incident suddenly gave Conan a strong sense of déjà vu.

He suddenly remembered that some time ago, when the anonymous person who could disguise himself first appeared, he called Jiang Xia on his mobile phone using Mao Lilan's voice.

Think again about the "Amuro Toru" who has become increasingly strange recently - the "Amuro Toru" I met in the teaching building last time has many subtle differences that are hard to describe compared to the previous Mr. Amuro.

…like two different people.

Conan: “…” In other words, the “Amuro Toru” they met might be a fake in disguise?

Conan pushed his glasses, and a reflection flashed across the lenses. He couldn't help but want to wait for "Amuro Toru" to finish dealing with the tools and come to talk to them, then pretend to be an ignorant child and take the opportunity to grab his face to see the true face of this mysterious man.

…

While Jiang Xia was secretly adding fuel to the fire and Conan was seriously thinking about how to proceed.

Actress Tomomi Sakaguchi, who played the role of "Emelia", was playing with her child when she received a call from the delivery man - the drinks and desserts she had ordered had arrived.

"You play with the kids for a while." She entrusted the kids to her colleague, "I'll go get the takeaway!"

As she spoke, Emera trotted downstairs and soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

…

In the hall, there stood a man wearing a delivery man's uniform and holding a large paper bag in his hand.

The paper bag contained the drinks and desserts that Tomomi Sakaguchi wanted. Even from a distance, she could smell the sweet aroma of the food.

"Thank you!" Tomomi Sakaguchi's eyes were glued to the fragrant paper bag.

She paid and was about to take the food upstairs, but when she turned around, she was suddenly startled and turned back suddenly, looking at the delivery man who was about to leave in shock.

This face, this skin color and hair color...

Looks so familiar.

Isn't this the new lighting assistant? !

——A few days ago, the lighting assistant was in a car accident and injured his hand. It will take at least ten days to recover. After that, the director found the current lighting assistant to take over as a temporary replacement.

But now...how did the lighting assistant suddenly become a delivery man? ?

And Tomomi Sakaguchi remembered that when she came down just now, she clearly passed by the mixed-race assistant. Why, why now...

Tomomi Sakaguchi held the warm paper bag and shivered violently as the hot air blew in from the door.

Then she was horrified to see that the delivery man, who was about to leave, seemed to have keenly sensed something.

He stopped walking, turned around, looked at Sakaguchi Tomomi with a slightly scrutinizing look, and asked with a smile: "Do you know me?"

Sakaguchi Tomomi: “…”…The voice is the same!! It’s haunted!!!

She kept her mouth tightly shut, feeling as if she opened it a little, her frightened soul would float out of her mouth.

The receptionist a few meters away noticed the tense atmosphere and looked over in confusion.

Toru Amuro immediately noticed the front desk clerk's gaze.

He looked at Sakaguchi Tomomi, whose face was pale and speechless, and decisively turned to the front desk and asked speculatively, "Has anyone who looks like me been here recently?"

"?" The receptionist was confused, but still subconsciously told the information he knew, "Are you talking about the lighting assistant who works in the studio on the top floor?"

"Lighting assistant..." Amuro Toru thought.

Combining Sakaguchi Tomomi's violent reaction and the words of the front desk clerk, he had a vague guess.

——Perhaps there is someone who looks like him in the “top-floor studio” mentioned by the front desk.

No, judging from the degree of horror that Sakaguchi Tomomi showed, it was definitely not just a “similarity”, perhaps they were exactly the same…
