Chapter 639 Wake up, get up and work overtime

Sendaf had committed many petty thefts in the past.

He walked around the hotel and quickly slipped into this hotel with lax management and a relaxed atmosphere.

While the front desk clerk went to the bathroom, he sneaked a peek at the room where Jiang Xia was.

…

Room 207.

Jiang Xia finished dinner and returned to his room.

Then he discovered that the mermaid who was left to look after the house was now folding her arms, floating here and there unhappily, muttering to herself, as if she was dissatisfied with everything about the room and didn't want to land in any place.

Ordinary people cannot hear the noises of ghosts' mumbling, and even if they hear them, it would be difficult for them to understand.

But there was a contract between Jiang Xia and the ghosts, so he quickly understood the mermaid's complaints.

——Just now when he left to finish his meal, a few men in suits broke into the room by prying the door open.

"..."The big men in suits...probably refer to the public security officers following behind him and Toru Amuro.

Because Toru Amuro had stolen Jiangxia's ghost mint before, the mermaid remembered this boss deeply, and also disliked the island country's public security who were good at breaking into houses and picking locks.

…

Jiang Xia didn't have much feeling about the police sneaking into his room, but he wasn't surprised either.

He just found it a little amusing that, at present, in this observation operation "targeting Jiangxia", although the commander Toru Amuro has begun to slack off secretly, his public security subordinates have not been able to discover their superior's laziness and are still conscientiously and strictly monitoring and observing the target according to the original standards.

...These surveillance operations naturally included secretly installing cameras in Jiang Xia's room after booking the room and when Jiang Xia was away, in order to prevent Jiang Xia from sneaking out in the middle of the night or using the phone in the room to communicate with "Uzo's accomplices" whose existence was unknown.

It's probably the same this time.

…unscrupulous police officers arbitrarily invade the privacy of innocent citizens.

Jiang Xia secretly condemned in his heart.

Then, thinking about the shikigami I picked up along the way and the various flavors of murderous aura, my mentality calmed down again.

...Look if you want to. He doesn't have anything shameful to show anyway. After all, the camera cannot reflect the figures of ghosts.

The worst that happened was that I couldn't play tricks on the enemies at will, and without a cell phone to play with, I had no idea where to put my hands.

As Jiang Xia was thinking about this, he passed by a bunch of fabric baby's breath on the table and rubbed it twice as if he was touching a cat's head.

When I withdrew my hand, I suddenly heard a light clacking sound on the table.

He was startled and looked down.

As the craft flowers swayed, a pinhole camera hidden among the flowers fell down with a click.

The black body wrapped in a green film landed on the off-white table, extremely conspicuous.

Jiang Xia lowered his eyes and looked right into the dark camera.

“…”

...pretend that you didn't notice anything and quickly put it back where it was. Is there still time?

Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

Then I felt that it wasn’t working.

The lives of Toru Amuro's subordinates must have been quite boring these days. Behind this camera, there might be a few pairs of bored eyes staring at the surveillance screen. They might have seen what happened just now.

In this case, if I firmly pretend that this is just a decoration and put it back as if nothing happened... I would be acting too stupid and look too weird.

Just have a normal reaction.

By the way, what should you do if you suddenly find that there is a camera installed in the room you are staying in?

A normal person might angrily question the hotel or call the police to inquire about the situation.

However, as a member of a shady organization carrying out a mysterious mission, the steps are of course different from those of ordinary people and are more complicated in comparison.

Of course, for Jiang Xia, it’s not that complicated.

——After all, he was just an innocent errand boy. The person in charge of this mission should be Bourbon in the other room.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia stared at the camera, frowned, and his expression became serious.

Quickly, he grabbed the napkin next to him, pressed the camera down with a click, then rolled it up tightly, put it in his pocket and quickly left the room. He also turned off the lights as he left the room to prevent other cameras from filming.

Then he went straight to Toru Amuro.

When we got there, we knocked on the door.

Boss, get up and work.

…

In the house.

Amuro Toru had packed up and laid down early. The experience of the past few days had made him realize the importance of keeping himself in good condition. Sleep is very important for humans. If he doesn't sleep well today, who knows if he will have time to sleep when he does the next task.

However, just as my head touched the pillow, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Toru Amuro: "..."

...There won't be another murder.

He hesitated for a moment between "pretending to be asleep" and "going to take a look", but in the end, his sense of responsibility prevailed.

…

Toru Amuro got up and walked to the door, peeking out through the peephole.

Jiang Xia was standing outside. He looked serious and seemed to be holding something in his hand.

“……”The person knocking on the door was Jiang Xia?

…It seems that this is not a murder case. Otherwise, Jiang Xia should be busy solving the case and would not think of looking for him.

Thinking of this, Amuro Toru's movement in opening the door became much more agile.

…

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Xia first looked left and right at the corridor.

As if he was sure that no one was following him, he walked in quickly and cautiously.

Then he placed something tightly wrapped in a napkin into Amuro Toru's hand.

"There's something wrong with this store." Jiang Xia whispered, pointing at the napkin in his hand.

Toru Amuro untied it carefully.

Then he saw Brie revealing a pinhole camera of a very familiar model.

“…”

Although Toru Amuro himself has relaxed the standards for surveillance, he has not yet told his subordinates directly about this behavior, which sounds a bit lazy.

...Now it seems that his subordinates really didn't understand his intention, and they still monitored Jiang Xia according to the previous standards... Not only did they monitor him, but they also exposed themselves immediately. The camera could not last more than one night, and was discovered by Jiang Xia so quickly.

Fortunately, Feng Jian and the others did not pretend to be strangers to pick up Jiang Xia and I with a flat tire. Otherwise, the undercover identity of "Bourbon" might not be covered up now...

…

When Toru Amuro stared at the camera and fell silent.

Jiang Xia and the ghosts on his body were also looking at Amuro Toru secretly with expectation.

Then he was disappointed to find that although the boss reprimanded his subordinates, he did not show the murderous intent that he should have shown when he was angry.

…Jiang Xia secretly sighed in his heart. A boss who is too law-abiding is sometimes not a good thing. If Gin's subordinates did such a thing, Gin would definitely be emitting murderous intent, and his subordinates might also emit a delicious vanilla ice cream-flavored murderous intent because they are facing life-threatening situations and are trying to protect themselves.

As he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia moved his fingers slightly, wanting to take out the ghost mint.
