Chapter 1219 1227 [A large sum of money is offered to kill Jiang Xia]
Although there were still a lot of follow-up issues in the case, the high school students did not stay any longer. After taking down their statements, they left the police station and prepared to return to Tokyo.
A few people changed into clean clothes, packed their luggage, and came to the station. They glanced around and accidentally saw some familiar people.
——The doctors I met at the banquet last night, those who were still alive and not arrested, were also at the station at this time.
The doctors had finished their meeting and admired the beach and were preparing to take the bus back.
Suzuki Sonoko thought about the fact that three people died in less than thirty hours last night and today, and she was quite dissatisfied with this bloody journey.
She whispered to her companions: "These doctors all look gentle and polite, but I didn't expect there would be so many murderers among them."
Jiang Xia heard this and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Perhaps the demons in their hearts were quietly awakened by something."
"?!" Conan thought of Jiang Xia's keen observation skills, and his expression became a little solemn. He suspected that Jiang Xia had some hidden meaning - could it be that there was actually a hidden mastermind behind these cases?
But when he looked up, Conan discovered that Jiang Xia was holding a pocket book in his hand. It seemed to be a mystery novel, and the title on it was - "The Demon of the Heart".
Conan: “…”
...overthinking.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan did not think that it was "manipulated by someone". They just thought that Jiang Xia was referring to the "devil" hidden in people's hearts. The two nodded, expressing their deep agreement, and thought that Jiang Xia was quite artistic recently.
The three high school students didn't pay much attention.
But at this moment, a doctor who happened to be passing by broke out in a cold sweat silently.
…
Dr. Utsumi walked past Jiang Xia and the others, took a few steps, and reunited with his colleagues. Then he turned back as if nothing had happened and secretly observed the high school detective.
Jiang Xia put something in his hand into the bag, then raised his head and looked straight in the direction where he was.
The two sides looked at each other, and Jiang Xia slightly curled his lips, revealing a smile that was confident and a little provocative, like a detective who had already caught the criminal's flaws and was ready to bring the criminal to justice as soon as all the evidence was complete.
Doctor Utsumi: "..." Could it be that this guy wasn't just casually expressing his feelings just now, but actually discovered a problem? !
Come to think of it, he secretly thought: If it was only the incident at the banquet, perhaps it could be explained as "accidental".
But if I remember correctly, I heard that the idiot Tanaka also fell into Jiang Xia's hands.
Kazuhiko Utsumi: “…” Perhaps before Dr. Tanaka died, he also said some nonsense to Jiang Xia like “Dr. Utsumi told me a story”.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but twitch his forehead: He realized now that this group of people would not say anything as long as they were not caught, but once they were caught, they suddenly became like a colander, leaking all kinds of information, even revealing the inspiration for their crimes! No wonder the organization was always so persistent in "silencing" people.
And if this continues, Dr. Uchiumi realizes that unless he gives up this method of "using leverage to win over his younger brothers", this terrible "exposure" may just be the beginning.
As he thought about it, his murderous intent surged: instigation is also a crime, although it is difficult to define, but if Jiang Xia found evidence, it would definitely ruin his reputation. He is still young and can climb to a higher position and enjoy more power, so he must not be caught by Jiang Xia!
Moreover, he is a member of the organization after all. In addition to talking, Dr. Utsumi has certainly done some truly illegal things.
If Jiang Xia insisted on investigating him, once he really found any problems, no matter how small the flaw was, as long as it was enough to convict him and send him to the police station, he would immediately face being killed by the organization.
…
Countless possibilities emerged in Dr. Utsumi's mind.
He met Jiang Xia's confident and asking for a punch, finally snorted coldly and made up his mind.
He took out his cell phone, turned on the plug-in, quietly logged into a web page with a pure black background, and posted a "bounty" task.
This is the organization's internal URL, which is mainly used by senior peripheral members: peripheral members need to accumulate sufficient qualifications and gain enough trust before they are qualified to log in to it.
All logged-in users are displayed as anonymous, and the messages they send are not visible to everyone - only members in the relevant field with sufficient authority can click to view them.
For example, this "clean-up" bounty can only be viewed and accepted by members who are professionally matched and good at assassination. If they can complete it, they will receive a reward from Dr. Utsumi, and they can also take the initiative to make requests.
…
After sending it successfully, Dr. Utsumi looked at his message of "Killing the famous Tokyo detective Jiang Xiatongzhi" and sneered in his heart.
——Go to hell, you naive little brat.
In terms of reasoning ability and thinking, Jiang Xia may indeed be quite good.
It’s a pity that the flowers and plants in the school have never experienced real wind and rain. Jiang Xia must not be able to imagine that the mature adults in the society will not play those childish house games with him - adults can use absolute strength to directly overturn the chessboard.
…
After the reward was issued, no one took it immediately.
Doctor Utsumi didn't care: I heard that the cadres usually only accept tasks assigned by the boss and rarely come here to browse. However, those who can get the qualifications to log in to this website are at least one step away from obtaining a code name.
These members are usually more cautious and do not want to make big mistakes, so before accepting a bounty, they will conduct a very detailed investigation in advance and will act carefully after confirming the situation.
Because countless bloody precedents have shown that if you don't confirm first, you may lose your life because you underestimate the difficulty of the bounty - these bounties are thrown up, not only because the publisher is not convenient to come forward, but also because they find it difficult. The difficulty of the task must be not low.
In addition, there have been cases in the past where undercover agents who have infiltrated this class have used fake missions to lure people to fixed locations and attempted to arrest them.
In short, it is normal that no one answered the call for the time being.
Doctor Uchiumi thought confidently: the reward he offered was generous enough. Besides, Jiang Xia was running around all day, and there was no security around him. A simple shot would solve the problem. It wouldn't be a big problem. After a day or two, someone should pick up the reward.
Dr. Uchiumi believed that before that, Jiang Xia would never catch him.
…
On the other side, Tokyo.
Gin drove and glanced at the schedule in his notebook, preparing to pick up the doctor at the station after finishing his current tasks.
He has been much freer these past two days. He no longer carries a briefcase and a gun around all day long, doing deals and assassinations everywhere.
