Chapter 1175 1183 [Old Technology]
While running away, several people were also observing the surrounding situation.
It can be seen that the driver Gin is quite satisfied with the environment here: "There are very few cameras, and there are no annoying street photography on the road. Most people are using pagers to communicate. The era here should be nearly 20 years older than it is now."
Jiang Xia: “…” That’s unpredictable. Maybe one day, the “current” technology will suddenly regress…
As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a pager hanging on his waist. He took it off and fiddled with this old electronic product in an unskilled manner.
At the same time, he complained like a normal player: "They didn't even give us a memory video and just ran away. It's impossible that the three of us are all set to have 'amnesia'."
Although Gin played games when he was young, he mostly played arcade games. When games with plots became popular, he no longer had time to play happily, so he drove with a cigarette in his mouth and did not speak.
Vermouth has been slacking off a lot and has come into contact with all kinds of things.
She glanced at the policeman who was lying unconscious next to her and thought that the problem was not serious. "This may be a gift package for beginners that comes to your doorstep - it gives you weapons and information. We will find a secluded place later to wake him up and ask him about the situation. Since he is the policeman who came to arrest you, he should know a lot about the case."
"..." Jiang Xia thought of the organization's "inquiry" method, and felt a little sorry for the NPCs he had consumed with his murderous aura.
But when he turned around and looked at the two colleagues next to him who were wary of the environment and were constantly exuding murderous intent...
Jiang Xia became generous again, nodded, and threw the trouble of the interrogation onto others in advance: "Go for it."
…
Administrative borders are often more difficult to govern than other places, and are more convenient for people who are not willing to see the light to hide. Gin's escape target was quite clear, so he went straight to the intersection of Nagano Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture, and found a remote mountain villa to stay temporarily.
This villa was obviously quite old. The walls were damp and mossy, and there was a thick layer of dust in the house. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for some time.
Three people got out of the car and entered the house, dragged the policeman in the car in, and tied him up in the corner.
Afterwards, Gin and Vermouth began to check the villa, familiarizing themselves with the route and looking for something that would make it easier for the police to talk.
Jiang Xia stayed beside the policeman to prevent him from running away after waking up. However, it turned out that this was unnecessary - the policeman seemed to be frightened by the tragic condition of his colleague before, and he had no intention of running away after waking up. He just stared at Jiang Xia and shrank into the corner with a terrified face: "You, you terrible murderer! Go away, stay away from me!"
Jiang Xia: “…” Unreasonable NPC, it was obviously Gin who did it, what does it have to do with him, an innocent high school student?
He thought about Gin's sinister look just now, and suddenly moved towards the policeman, giving him the same malicious smile.
The policeman froze for a moment. He seemed to be cursing in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
"Is he awake?" Vermouth and Gin had just finished checking the surroundings and came back carrying some strange-looking things, which looked like torture instruments used for interrogation.
Jiang Xia originally thought that this would be a long process, so he planned to take a walk around the villa and wait until he came back to get the information that Gin and Vermouth had asked.
But just as he reached the door amid the screams that were not suitable for children, he heard the policeman angrily say: "Enough, stop it, I say!!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
He stopped and planned to come back to listen to what happened.
But just as he turned around, a huge bubble hit him head-on.
——This big bubble is incompatible with the painting style of "Detective Copy". It is obviously not something that should exist in reality, but a very "game-like" prop.
Jiang Xia was hit by it, his eyes blurred, and suddenly countless scenes appeared in front of him.
The time in the picture seems to have gone back to a few days ago.
…
In the memory bubbles spit out by the police NPC friendship.
It was afternoon.
In the bubble, the pager on Jiang Xia's waist suddenly rang.
The BP machine is a very old communication tool that existed before the popularization of mobile phones. It is a rectangular box with an electronic screen embedded on one side.
Compared with the convenience of mobile phones, pagers can only receive messages unilaterally - people who want to send messages will call the pager and provide the content they want to send. The pager will then send the "sender" and "message content" to the recipient's pager.
The recipient can then go to a landline to call the sender back, or go directly to the designated location based on the information received.
But now, there was no message from the sender displayed on Jiang Xia’s pager, only a line of text - "See you at 17:00, Dollies."
Jiang Xia himself is not quite sure where "Dollies" is.
However, the "Jiang Xia" in the memory bubble obviously knew this place.
When the time came, he went straight to a fast food restaurant. When he pushed the door open, he saw "Belmode" sitting at a table by the window. When he looked up and saw "Jiang Xia" coming in, he waved to him with a smile, indicating that the seat was over here.
According to the background set in the game, the two of them obviously knew each other and soon sat down and started chatting.
Jiang Xia also found a place to sit down and continued to look at the "self" in the bubble, wanting to see how this "Jiang Xia" who seemed very law-abiding ended up being almost taken into police custody.
…
In Dollies restaurant, Jiang Xia and Belmode chatted for a few words before the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open. A vicious man in a suit with long, straight silver hair walked in.
——You can tell with your eyes closed that this is Gin, and next to Gin stands a strange man who looks very gentle.
"This person wants to meet you." Gin looked at Jiang Xia, raised his chin and pointed at the strange man next to him, which was considered an introduction.
The strange man looked reserved, but he was not socially anxious at all. He quickly bowed to Jiang Xia and said, "Hello, I am an editor at Otowa Publishing House, my last name is 'Yashita'. Well, actually, I came here this time to ask you to help decipher a certain code."
"signal?"
"That's right." Seeing that the high school student detective didn't refuse, the editor relaxed a little. He didn't waste any time and quickly got to the point. "You know the writer named 'Tachibana Goryeo', right?"
Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and nodded: "That heavyweight writer who is good at nonfiction?"
When Editor Yaxia heard that he knew him, he was a little happy and nodded: "Yes!"
