Chapter 1140 1148 [Jiang Xia is Uzo's teammate? ]
Misari Ito: "!!"
The moment she fell to the ground, a light bulb went off in her mind, and she suddenly understood why Jiang Xia didn't run away or catch anyone after gaining the upper hand, but instead blocked the exit of the attic.
Ito Misari: "..." This vicious detective was not trying to save people! He probably just thought it was fun to beat people like this... Those reports about Jiang Xia even said something like "hating evil and being the embodiment of justice". What's even more unbearable is that she, she actually believed in that kind of Spring and Autumn style of writing before!
But it's too late to wake up now.
The screams of pain and the rhythmic knocking sounds gradually filled the attic.
…
Outside the attic window, in the dense shade of the trees.
A man with a pale face slid down the tree silently, feeling that he had accidentally known too much and was on the verge of being silenced.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Why does Jiang Xia have a hobby of "beating people"? !
He felt as if the glorious image of the "righteous detective" in his mind had been shattered.
Once the established impression is broken, doubts immediately arise.
"..." Especially when you think about how Jiang Xia dragged his feet on solving the case and watched Amuro Toru being murdered by Usa not long ago; and how Jiang Xia had appeared near many of the cases planned by Usa; and even just now, even Usa's cat was helping Jiang Xia kick the gun...
Could it be that Jiang Xia is really in collusion with Wu Zuo?
Subaru Okiya: "..." Although Jiang Xia's calm tone and fast-forward without any stage effects when solving the case did not conform to Usa's aesthetics, it made Jiang Xia far from the identity of "Usa's subordinate".
But what if…
A terrible thought suddenly occurred to Subaru Okiya.
——What if Jiang Xia is not actually Wu Zuo’s subordinate, but his partner or colleague?
…
“…” Although many of the organization’s cadres are lone rangers, I heard that some of them do have relatively fixed teammates.
- If you think about it, Uzo looks so scary and has such a frightening aura, he might have some difficulty approaching his target.
But if the person who planted the seeds for the victims was not Wu Zuo, but Jiang Xia, who was hard to guard against, Wu Zuo was only responsible for providing the best stage. The two of them worked together to create a terrifying legend that even the organization cadres were afraid of...
This assumption made Subaru Okiya silently feel a fear that "the good person he trusted the most turned out to be the boss."
The noisy cries of pain and shock in the attic disappeared without a trace. The surroundings were completely silent, with only the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind.
Subaru Okiya suddenly felt that the noise made by his footsteps on the grass was extremely loud, as if every step he took would alarm some terrifying creature lurking in the shadows.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a slight clicking sound above my head.
Okiya Subaru's feet froze, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
He didn't want to face it, but had to turn his head back little by little.
He saw Jiang Xia opening the attic window and standing there, looking down at him.
The face that once represented "justice", "way out" and "reliable support" in Okiya Subaru's heart was now sunk in the shadow cast by the eaves and could not be seen clearly.
“……”Being stared at like this, Okiya Subaru suddenly felt like he was facing Usa.
The intuitive alarm in his head sounded like a beeper. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know whether he should kneel down and yell something like "I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything! I won't tell anyone anything, please let me go!" or just play dumb and get away with it.
At this time, Jiang Xia suddenly spoke.
——He didn’t show a gloomy sneer as Subaru Okiya imagined; nor did he raise his index finger to his lips, then touch his neck, suggesting "If you can’t control your mouth, you will sleep forever"...
Jiang Xia just leaned against the windowsill, put away the baton in his hand, looked him up and down for a moment, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be you, I thought there were other accomplices hiding here... By the way, I'm going to call the police, you should leave the yard first - although people who break into the yard to save people are usually exempted from responsibility, but this time the criminal is a lawyer after all, he might deliberately cause trouble for us."
The voice and tone, which were completely different from Usa's, pulled Subaru Okiya back from the terrifying vortex of his imagination.
He responded subconsciously, climbed out of the yard the same way he came, tidied up his dusty clothes, and then slowly came to mind.
Okiya Subaru: “…” Jiang Xia was seen in the beating scene, why was he so calm?
...Could it be that I am overthinking?
…
Just as I was thinking about it, Mao Lilan walked over from the side.
——Just now, the kidnappers were howling so miserably, and the soundproofing in the attic was so average that even she could vaguely hear the noise.
Mao Lilan thought of Jiang Xia's not very harmonious little habits, and regretted that she didn't insist on going in. That way, maybe she could stop Jiang Xia or help subdue the enemy - judging from the tone, there seemed to be two or three gangsters inside, and those people had Hattori and Kazuha as hostages... It was dangerous just to think about it, and it was fortunate that Jiang Xia was able to handle it smoothly.
It's obviously too late to think about this now. But...
Mao Lilan thought to herself: Mr. Okiya doesn't look like someone who can't adapt... and they already know each other. With the frequency of their encounters, he will sooner or later see Jiang Xia's... cough, hateful side. It would be good to get used to it in advance.
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan looked at Okiya Subaru, who seemed to be shocked, and chose her words a little nervously:
"Well, actually, some prisoners are really brutal. If they are not controlled in time, there may be terrible consequences. And Jiang Xia should know what's going on and won't really injure or maim anyone..."
…
Subaru Okiya's brain was a little overloaded just now, and it took him a while to digest what Mouri Ran had just said.
He came back to his senses belatedly: "..." Wait, Mao Li Ran also knows that Jiang Xia likes to knock people?
...By the way, calm down and think rationally, it’s not just Mao Li Ran.
In the attic, in addition to the three surviving criminals, there seemed to be two Osaka high school students, an elementary school student, and a former detective who was very skilled at pretending to be dead... At the moment, none of them showed any signs of being about to be silenced, and they did not seem to be too surprised by Jiang Xia's behavior just now.
...It was as if Jiang Xia did this often, and those acquaintances all knew about it.
Okiya Subaru couldn't help but start to hesitate:
This point... seems to conflict with my previous speculations.
Everyone knows that organizations emphasize secrecy, and cadres who work in society are often good at disguise.
In particular, if Jiang Xia is really Wu Zuo's partner, who is usually responsible for maintaining the image of a "good detective" and contacting victims, then he seems to be even less likely to do such a thing as "beating criminals for fun", and it was also seen by many people...
