Chapter 1183 1191 [The Happiness of a Salary Thief] Added to the Alliance Leader [Master Gan He]
However, it is normal to have a generation gap, and Vermouth did not care about such a small matter.
She walked around the room, picked up a wine menu with a hint of surprise, looked through it for a moment, picked up the receiver, and started dialing the hotel's food delivery number:
"The dishes are quite rich. Since there is no new news from Gin, let's eat something and take a rest - I don't know if the taste of the dishes here will be any different from that in the real world."
Jiang Xia: “…” There is no difference, this one tastes better, he has tried it.
But this time when I came in, I was so focused on exaggerating that I really didn't have a good meal.
Jiang Xia then leaned over with a little curiosity and looked at the menu.
Then he discovered with satisfaction that Noah had finally become sensible for once - this hotel may look ordinary on the outside, but the meals it provides include styles from all over the world, and after you order something, the "chef" can prepare the corresponding flavor.
Vermouth has never been short of money, and has never had the habit of saving. Moreover, the virtual coins in this world cannot be used up and cannot be taken out, so she decisively ordered a portion of the meals she was interested in - she had nothing to do anyway, so she might as well try the flavors of the dishes in this world, and perhaps she could get more information about Anonymous from these details...
…
Soon, the waiter came upstairs with a cart of food, entered the room gracefully, and placed the plates on the table.
After he left, Jiang Xia came out of the suite, turned on the TV with Vermouth, and watched it while eating.
The two of them were enjoying life for a while when suddenly an urgent news broadcast popped up on the screen.
Against a deep blue background, a middle-aged male host sat in front of the camera with a serious expression:
"A murder occurred in Rino-cho at around 3 o'clock this afternoon. The victim was Omura Kon, the president of a publishing company."
As these words appeared, a photo of an ID suddenly popped up in the blank part of the picture to the upper left of him. It was the "Mr. Omura" to whom Tachibana Goryeo had told the secret, with his name and age written below.
The host continued, "There weren't many fingerprints left at the scene, but an anonymous witness said that he had seen a teenager entering and leaving the victim's home before and after the incident. Combined with previous tragedies, the murderer is currently believed to be the high school detective who is still on the run for allegedly murdering the writer Tachibana Goryu. The police are now tracking down the boy's whereabouts by setting up a curfew and other means."
…
"How sloppy! You dare to jump to conclusions without any evidence." Vermouth laughed and turned to Jiang Xia, "But it seems that someone is deliberately framing you. It's a pity that from the emphasis on 'anonymity', the real murderer probably didn't show up directly when notifying the police, but instead made a phone call or sent a letter... Otherwise, if we catch a relevant policeman and ask him, we will know who the real murderer is behind this."
Jiang Xia nodded: "The frame-up method is very similar to the previous case of Tachibana Goryeo. And the puzzle is actually continuous - after 'Omura' there is 'Tokito'. It seems that the murderer who killed President Omura and Tachibana Goryeo was targeting the manuscript. This makes his identity much easier to guess."
Although the news of the manhunt was seen on TV, "Jiang Xia" was still a minor after all. The news did not directly issue a wanted order, nor did it disclose the name of the "high school student detective."
Jiang Xia and Vermouth didn't take this matter to heart at all. Instead, they received some good news.
——Don’t hang around Omura’s house if you have nothing to do recently, because there is indeed martial law there.
…
When eating the last dessert.
The pager that Jiang Xia placed next to him suddenly rang.
He was startled, and then he remembered that he had made an appointment with Gin before, but he didn't expect Gin to be busy until so late.
Jiang Xia picked up the pager and took a look, only to find that there wasn't much information on it, just a string of numbers.
He found the phone and dialed.
Soon, Gin's voice came from the receiver: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xia heard his calm tone and guessed that Gin might not have had time to watch the news.
So he briefly summarized what happened today, of course, omitting the dinner as usual: "After I came to Tokyo, I first tried to contact President Omura and got some information from him. But Omura was murdered right after that, and the murderer called the police anonymously - the same frame-up method as before."
Gin was thoughtful. After a moment, he lowered his head and flipped through the notebook in his hand: "I did find a lot of useful information. I heard from Yaxia that this time Tachibana Goryeo's new work is about the 'medical world'.
"Also, among those who agreed to help you, a photographer sent me some information he overheard - he had previously heard a conversation between Tachibana Goryeo and his boss at the TV station, and it was said that the new book, which had not yet been published, was related to 'smuggling'.
"So now, I'm checking if there are any guests at the birthday party who have both the characteristics of 'medicine' and 'smuggling'. The identity of 'medical community' is easier to start with, but Tachibana Goryeo's new book contains knowledge in this area, so during the writing process, he interacted with many medical professionals, and therefore there were several such people at the party. I just checked three and found no problems for the time being, so there are five left."
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment after hearing this: "...Well, it's a good thing to investigate quickly, but before the truth is found out, you must not be wanted together with others."
"..." Gin didn't say anything, but even through the phone, one could seem to sense his increasing murderous intent.
Jiang Xia felt relieved.
Then, before Gin hung up on him, he got down to business: "By the way, do you know 'Tokito'? The clue that President Omura gave before his death was about him. It is said that Tachibana Goryu told President Omura before his death that if anyone came to him to ask about related matters, they should answer 'ask Tokito and you will know'."
"At that time?"
Gin actually had some impression of this name. He found his phone book, a small book that looked like it had been used for a while. He turned to the first page and saw a person named "Tokito" on it.
"This person works at Kandagawa Publishing." Gin looked at the information on the notebook and reported the location and phone number of the publishing house to Jiang Xia.
…
Jiang Xia hung up the phone and returned to the hotel room with the information in his mind.
"Where to go next?" Vermouth leaned against the bed, and only then did she slowly enjoy a little of the fun of this world - she could eat all kinds of delicious food as a pastime without stopping, and she didn't have to worry about getting too full.
"Go to Kanda River Publishing House." Jiang Xia walked over to her bag and took a look, then quickly reached out and took out a map. He unfolded it and observed it for a moment, then paused.
