Chapter 1209 1217 [Murder of Mao Lilan]
"Mr. Tanaka! Have you seen Guangzi?" The woman with a high ponytail asked the doctor in a sweat. "We agreed to meet tonight, but she never showed up. We couldn't find her at her house."
Dr. Tanaka is a local.
Today during the day, he attended a meeting of the doctors' union. A group of doctors appeared here tonight because of the invitation from Katsuyoshi Tanaka. The beaches in this area are really beautiful, and since they are already here, several doctors with plenty of time accepted the invitation.
Unexpectedly, while I was drinking, a strange woman suddenly ran out.
A group of doctors paused their conversation and watched in silence.
Doctor Tanaka couldn't help but get annoyed when he saw this: "How should I know! I have nothing to do with her for a long time. If you have time to bother me, you might as well go to the places she often goes to look for her."
"..." The woman with a high ponytail gritted her teeth and glared at him. Without saying anything else, she turned and left.
"This guy can really get into an argument with anyone." Suzuki Sonoko muttered, no longer paying attention to the people at that table, and pulled Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan to sit near the counter, "Boss, what are your special dishes? Give me a few!"
…
Although Jiang Xia and his friends arrived late, they were just eating, which made them much more efficient than the group of uncles drinking and chatting next to them.
At nearly eleven o'clock, several high school students checked out and left.
When passing by the doctor's table, Dr. Uchiumi's cell phone somehow slipped out and fell to Jiang Xia's feet with a clang.
Jiang Xia picked it up and handed it back to him.
"Thank you." Dr. Utsumi smiled politely, took the phone and glanced down at the screen.
His phone was locked, so the screen was of course still locked at this time. Jiang Xia only picked it up for a short second or two, so there was no way he could have done anything in time.
Dr. Utsumi didn't think much about it and put his phone in his pocket.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out his cell phone again, touched the deepest part of his pocket again, and then found that there was nothing else stuffed inside.
Dr. Utsumi: "..." Could it be that the pocket was shallow and the phone slipped out accidentally? These pants are not good. I'll go back and change them...
He turned around and started chatting with a few colleagues again, telling them all kinds of "news" and "rumors".
Dr. Utsumi reflected seriously on what Dr. Okano had done to him just now.
Then he realized that if he wanted to hide himself, he might as well hide in the forest--become a person who likes to tell all kinds of weird stories and gossip. That way, even if something happened later, it wouldn't seem deliberate.
This is just the beginning, and it is inevitable that his methods have some shortcomings. When he becomes a formal member of the organization in the future, he still has a long way to go.
Dr. Utsumi thought of his upcoming promotion, looked at the doctors in front of him, raised his glass, and hid the sneer on his lips.
…
On the other side, Jiang Xia reluctantly left the group of doctors and returned to the hotel with several classmates.
After entering the room, he counted the newly received business cards again, piled up the murderous auras he had picked up before, and then fell asleep peacefully.
…
The next morning, on the beach.
Suzuki Sonoko lazily held the float board and drifted in the sea, feeling mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.
What made her happy was that Jiang Xia and Xiao Lan did as she wished. They praised her new swimsuit and her good taste.
What worries me is...
Jiang Xia did not go into the water.
He didn't even change into his swimsuit, but just wore a slightly cooler set of clothes. He lay lazily on a beach chair under a parasol, enjoying the sea breeze. Occasionally, he turned his head and looked at the nearby beach with admiration.
At first glance, his lazy attitude of not wanting to go into the water when he arrived at the beach made him look like a shameless boy who came to the beach just to admire the white flesh.
But Suzuki Sonoko knew he was not - because there were indeed very few people on this beach, so few that there was no third woman except her and Xiaolan. Compared with them, Jiang Xia looked at the group of doctors in the distance more often.
Suzuki Sonoko: “…#” What’s so good about a doctor! Is he more worthy of appreciation than a beautiful girl like her who is naturally beautiful, as pretty as a flower, lovely and lively? Hum!
...But now she is soaking in the sea, and she can't see anything except her head.
...Yes, that must be the reason.
Suzuki Sonoko kicked her foot sadly, creating a splash of water.
…
ashore.
Jiang Xia actually didn't mind going into the water for a spin, but then he thought, he would have to change into a swimsuit, and he had a fancy "Z" tattoo on his chest that symbolized "Anonymous."
Although unlike the ghosts, his tattoos can be put away.
But if you want to put it away completely, you need to first put all the ghosts and shikigami that are released outside back into the space.
This is obviously very inconvenient for the psychic, because he can't always have the ghost sticking to his shoulders to eavesdrop, peek, or stick it on other people's bodies to use as a tracker... Life is not so bad that he can't make a living, but it always feels a little less fun.
Unlike now, with the mermaid in his left hand and Noah in his right hand, the two cold ghosts were like holding two iced watermelons, cooler than the sea breeze.
Jiang Xia: “…” By the way, speaking of this, since we are free anyway, we might as well buy some watermelon to eat.
Thinking of this, he left the two ghosts behind, sat up, went to the fruit stall, compared prices, and brought back the most round and beautiful melon, which had just been chilled.
…
When we got back to the beach, I was about to ask Maori to show me how to crack a melon with his bare hands.
After taking a closer look, Jiang Xia was slightly startled and found that there was something new in the sea.
"Jiang Xia!"
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan waved at him from afar. In front of them was a rubber raft, and two people were pumping air to inflate it.
——Suzuki Sonoko just floated in the sea for a while and felt that it was too boring to continue like this, so she decided to find a way to let Jiang Xia appreciate the beauty of the sea.
She went to the equipment store next door and bought a rubber raft. Since Jiang Xia didn't want to swim, she could actually find another way to go into the sea for a swim.
…
With Jiang Xia's help, the rubber raft was quickly inflated. Four people... three... Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan each picked up one side of the rubber raft and threw it from the beach into the sea.
Several people put on life jackets, pushed the boat into the deeper water, then climbed into the boat, picked up the oars and rowed away.
When they were far enough away that they would not be washed ashore by the waves at any time, they broke the watermelon in half and each person got a piece.
Mao Lilan took a few bites of the watermelon and leaned comfortably against the edge of the boat, obviously enjoying the trip: "It's comfortable."
Conan felt embarrassed to just sit there and do nothing. He had just helped row a few times and was now gasping for breath from exhaustion.
While eating the watermelon, he turned his head to look at the sea and found that there were people racing speedboats nearby. He couldn't help but show envy: "That kind of boat is better, it's fast and you don't need to row. We should have rented a speedboat just now."
