Chapter 1085 1093 [Brother Gin turns out to be face-blind]
Although it is a pity that Bourbon is still alive, Gin simply can't stand Amuro Toru's personality, and there is actually no conflict between the two that seems too direct.
So now, despite his regret, Gin actually feels that this is not bad.
——Originally, he always thought that as long as he was careful enough, he would not be suddenly attacked by Uzo.
But now it seems that the guy's methods are really hard to guard against - just like this time, although Wu Zo only used him as a sniper tool to cut off the elevator passage, he actually stopped the elevator with one shot just as Wu Zo planned.
By analogy, if Uzo has some other ideas in the future...
Gin's good mood disappeared when he thought of this. He bit his cigarette and tutted in annoyance: Mr. Vodka's attitude towards Uzo seems to be reasonable...
…
Next to him, Vodka, who was on the front line of the fight against Ukraine, was completely unaware of the silent recognition from big brother Gin.
Vodka was still a little confused at this time: What did his brother mean by "Suzuki Sonoko dressed up as Shirley"?
Could it be that the person that the eldest brother wanted to kill just now and the person that Uzo saved was not Shirley at all, but Suzuki Sonoko?
“…”
Vodka was very curious about this.
But his intuition told him that it was best not to speak out at this moment, especially not to ask in detail. This was not a good time to eat melons.
So he didn't interrupt Gin's mumbling, but followed behind silently, pretending that he hadn't noticed anything just now.
…
When the two men in black retreated silently.
Opposite, the rooftop of Building B of the Twin Towers.
The sports car floated quietly in the water. Amuro Toru wiped the water off his face and walked out of the convertible sports car amid a group of shocked onlookers.
At the same time, he reached out from the passenger seat, grabbed a cane, shook off the water on it, and threw it to the shore, right at the feet of Inspector Megure.
"This is……?"
Inspector Megure was stunned. He originally planned to help Amuro Toru, but at this moment he was attracted by the crutch and looked down.
Just now in Building A, Inspector Megure wanted to let Kisaragi Minemizu evacuate by elevator, but the elderly painter protested with his cane, “Don’t treat me as an old man.” He was deeply impressed by this cane.
Therefore, now, Inspector Megure quickly recognized it:
"Isn't this Mr. Kisaragi Minemizu's cane? It seems he accidentally dropped it when they evacuated. You even went out of your way to pick it up for him... Well, anyway, let me thank you on his behalf."
As he spoke, Inspector Megure thought: Mr. Amuro is not as bad as Sato said. In the emergency just now, he actually took care to return the lost property and brought out the old man's walking stick...
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Toru Amuro breaking through the water and coming ashore with a splash.
Perhaps seeing through what Inspector Megure was thinking, Amuro Toru couldn't help showing a complicated expression and interrupted his imagination: "This is evidence. The inside of the cane is hollow, and there may be some key things hidden inside - such as the necklace that Chairman Tokiwa wore at the beginning."
"……exhibit?!"
Inspector Megure was stunned for several seconds before he realized what he was saying - so many things happened just now, each one more sensational than the last, and Inspector Megure's mind was full of fires and explosions everywhere, and he almost forgot about the previous murder case.
Amuro Toru wrung the water off his body and looked back at Building A opposite.
The fires burning in various places gradually connected to each other. The building was emitting dazzling flames. From time to time, materials were burned and cracked, splashing out scorching sparks. From a distance, it looked like a grand and long-lasting firework display.
Toru Amuro: “…” The heartless Uzo actually involved so many people and even destroyed a building just for a “fireworks”.
However, when he thought of this person, Toru Amuro suddenly came back to his senses from the thrilling escape he had just had.
He suddenly turned to the police and building staff nearby and said, "Leave Building B immediately! Then find someone to check for bombs on each floor. We'll come back to investigate the situation after the bombs are removed - the matter may not be over yet."
...Although he had temporarily escaped from the death trap set by Wu Zuo, who knew whether that bastard would have pre-installed a bomb in Building B, and then seal off this side with a bang when he thought he had escaped.
Toru Amuro thought of the endings of those horror movies, where the protagonist thought he had successfully escaped but was actually in a dead end. He couldn't help but tense up all over, not feeling the joy of successfully escaping at all. He just wanted to get away from the area as soon as possible - when he came here, he really didn't expect Uzo to make such a big noise and implicate so many people.
…
A group of people left Building B in a panic.
A few streets away.
"Officer Sato? I'm on my way home. It's not convenient today. I'll take the statement next time."
While answering Sato Miwako's call, Jiang Xia ran away with the "injury" to prevent the professionals from noticing that there was something wrong with the "gunshot wound" on his arm after they successfully escaped and had some free time.
In addition, we have to find something for the police to do so that they don't need detectives at all tonight and can solve the case on their own without bothering us anymore.
"I actually have some guesses about the murderer in this case. Although I don't have the energy to find the complete chain of evidence, it should be much easier for you to investigate along this line of thought."
Jiang Xia turned the throttle of his motorcycle and drove along the road at lightning speed, saying in the weak tone he often used when asking for sick leave:
"The murderer should be Mr. Kisaragi Minemizu, and his motive is probably Mount Fuji. If you look at the map, you will find that the address of his studio written on his business card, or the address of his residence, is on a small hill behind the twin buildings in Nishitama City.
"At the opening ceremony just now, paintings by Kisaragi Minemizu from different periods were displayed in chronological order. All of his paintings were of Mount Fuji. At first, the angles were different, but from a certain period on, they all became the same perspective - they were all painted on that hill.
"After the twin towers were built, from the perspective of Kisaragi Peak, Mount Fuji looked like it was split in half by a sharp steel blade... Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's not hard to imagine that after the towers were built, the perfect Mount Fuji in his eyes was no longer perfect, just like the chairman Tokiwa who was hanged in the middle of the huge Mount Fuji painting at the opening ceremony today. So he wanted to kill the relevant people for revenge - in the previous murder case, the small wine cup next to the body that was split in the middle and turned upside down was also a metaphor for the 'split' Mount Fuji."
Miwako Sato was startled and suddenly turned her head to look to the side.
——As a survivor who successfully escaped from the building, Kisaragi Minemizu was standing not far from her. The white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the burning building, with an inexplicable look in his old eyes.
