Chapter 1103 1111 [Death Package]
After introducing the location of the apartment, Izumi Kaori turned around and looked at the star detective she was chasing.
Although Jiang Xia didn't say anything, he was obviously in a good mood when he looked at the building, and he looked like he was looking forward to entering the building.
Izumi Kaori was relieved. She said happily, "Let's go find Naomi. I remember she's in Room 203."
…
After going up to the second floor and glancing at the spacious corridor, the five people's eyes quickly fell on the door of Room 203.
——There were several large bags there, and inside them were several large and exquisitely packaged lunch boxes. It seemed that they were the meals sent from the "Dolphin Restaurant" that Izumi Kaori mentioned just now.
"Why don't you take the takeaway in? Is she out?" Yamamoto Sakurako looked at the takeaway at her feet and sighed, "She was urging us to hurry up just now..."
They are all acquaintances, she complained while turning the doorknob.
The next second, Yamamoto Sakurako was startled: "...The door is not locked."
"Maybe she forgot to lock the door, or maybe she was actually at home, but was just busy putting on makeup and didn't go out to get takeout." Izumi Kaori didn't care too much. She called Naoko twice, and found that no one answered in the room, so she simply pushed the door and walked out.
The other two friends followed in familiarly.
…
Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan were not familiar with the owner after all, so they did not go in immediately. Mao Lilan planned to wait for the owner to come out, say hello, and then go in.
However, they did not wait for the owner of the house to come out to greet them.
instead……
"ah--!!!"
Three screams rang out through the door, piercing through the apartment and echoing around like a ghost.
Mao Lilan was startled: "?!"
Jiang Xia also immediately showed a look of alertness.
He was about to rush into the house, fulfilling his detective duty, answering the call of the screams.
But at this moment, the peephole on the door of the house next to me suddenly dimmed - someone came behind the door and was peeking out quietly through the door.
Jiang Xia suddenly turned his head and stared at the cat's eye in surprise for two seconds.
Then he frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Being stared at by Jiang Xia through the door, the guy next door obviously realized that he had been discovered.
“…”
After a few seconds, the door clicked and was unlocked.
A tall man with a scholarly demeanor walked out of the room.
"...Mr. Okiya?" Seeing an acquaintance, Jiang Xia's vigilance seemed to be reduced a little, "Why are you here?"
"I usually live here." Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses, hiding the shouting and nervousness in his heart in the reflection of the lenses.
He turned to look at the door of the woman next door and asked calmly, "I seemed to hear a scream just now... What happened?"
After being reminded by him, Jiang Xia seemed to come back to his senses: "I don't know. I'll go in and take a look."
When he said the last half of the sentence, he deliberately raised his voice a little.
No one in the room objected, so Jiang Xia opened the door in a very martial manner and ran into the house.
Mao Lilan followed closely.
The two high school students quickly walked down the corridor, followed the continuous screaming, turned into the living room, and disappeared.
Behind them, the wide-open door was being pulled back together by elastic force.
But before it closed, a hand reached out and blocked it.
“…”
Subaru Okiya held the door, making sure that he could rush to Jiang Xia for help when necessary. At the same time, he looked around vigilantly, scanning the silent corridors on both sides inch by inch, trying to discern the presence of Usa around him.
——Ever since a few days ago, Shuichi Akai went to a skyscraper disguised as "Okiya Subaru".
The fact that "Okiya Subaru has a secret" was completely exposed to Usa.
Chongya Subaru couldn't sleep or eat well.
Up to now, except for an email with the words "I will kill you if you dare to resign" written between the words, Okiya Subaru has not received Usa's final decision.
The most tiring moment is when the guillotine is about to fall. Plus, with the expectation of "running out of the country and escaping from Usa in two weeks"... Although he doesn't want to admit it, Okiya Subaru always feels like a hapless cannon fodder with death flags all over his body. If he takes a wrong step, he will die in a murder case that falls from the sky.
…
Therefore, in the past few days, Subaru Okiya has been following Shuichi Akai's advice, staying at home secretly, reducing his presence to a minimum, and refusing to open the door to anyone.
He even got an alloy box that could withstand strong pressure, impact and high temperature, and slept in it at night to reduce the chance of being killed by his neighbors for no apparent reason.
...After staying like this for a few days, the quiet and stable life at home gradually gave Okiya Subaru a feeling of "the good years are peaceful".
He secretly thought that perhaps in this matter, Usa was actually a good boss who respected his subordinates' secrets. He did not intend to sentence and silence Okiya Subaru just because he entered the explosion site without permission that day.
…
However, it had only been a short while since he had sent the nice guy card to Uzo.
It was as if someone had seen through my thoughts, and the gloomy footsteps of murder were approaching again.
——Three simultaneous screams pierced the wall, waking up Subaru Okiya who was dozing off on his paper, and he stood up suddenly.
As we all know, screams often accompany murders.
And murders occasionally accompany Uzo.
Subaru Okiya instinctively wanted to find out what was going on. He subconsciously ran to the door and peeked out through the peephole... Who knew that just this slight change in light and darkness would be discovered by Jiang Xia.
…
Subaru Okiya desperately didn't want to leave his safe house.
But he was seen by Jiang Xia just now, and he couldn't do anything.
——Although the characteristics of the cat's eye prevented Jiang Xia from seeing who was in the house, if a murder really happened, the police would definitely visit nearby neighbors to collect evidence. Okiya Subaru had seen many murders and was already quite familiar with this process.
Once things develop to this point, Jiang Xia will naturally discover that the person in the room is Okiya Subaru.
"..." If Okiya Subaru was just an ordinary passerby who didn't know Jiang Xia, he could still make the excuse that "I was scared when I heard the screams, so I didn't dare to go out, so I had to hide in the house and be a spectator."
But he knew Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan, and he always acted like a kind and enthusiastic graduate student. Hiding when hearing the screams would only make "Okiya Subaru" very suspicious.
——Yes, suspicious.
Although he was frightened, this state did not affect Subaru Okiya's thinking. Instead, it made his brain work faster.
Subaru Okiya had already studied Usa's killing methods. In addition to the "being killed in a murder case" package, there are actually some variations.
- For example, Subaru Okiya can use his identity as an "outer member of the organization" to unlock the package from Usa where he is considered a major suspect by the police, taken back to the police station, and quickly killed by a killer sent by the organization on the way.
