Chapter 1316 1324 [Mermaid: What about me? ]
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone as he spoke.
Originally, he wanted to use the excuse that his cell phone was broken and he couldn't contact the police, so he stayed on the boat for a while and showed Scott his weak back.
Unexpectedly, after taking out the phone and pressing it, the screen actually lit up - the phone was actually not broken at all.
The faint light was too obvious in the night.
Jiang Xia's eyes twitched: "..." Tsk, it's understandable that the organizational machine is sturdier, but at the moment, the everyday machine should perhaps be replaced with a more fragile style, otherwise there will be no chance of being alone with the criminals.
As he was thinking, he planned to secretly break his phone. Then he would pretend that only the screen would work and other functions would be disabled. This way, he could ask to borrow Shi Kaobing's phone.
When something as private as a cell phone is suddenly borrowed, a thief like Shi Kaobing, who is guilty of his crime, will definitely show some murderous intent.
I had everything planned out, but before I could even utter “Oh no, the screen is blank”, my phone suddenly vibrated.
——The phone rang.
Jiang Xia: “…”
...Who is so good at getting stuck?
He was silent for a moment, but finally picked up the phone silently.
"Jiang Xia?!" When the call was connected, the person on the other end was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that someone would actually answer the phone.
Then the man came to his senses and said anxiously: "I heard that you fell into the river. Where are you now? The police have been dispatched. Tell your location and they will come to fish you out soon!... Wait, why are you still able to answer the phone? Did you climb out by yourself?"
It sounded like Hattori Heiji. He was as talkative as ever.
"I didn't make it to shore, but I'm safe now." Jiang Xia glanced at Shi Kaobing. "The current was too fast where I fell into the water. I couldn't find a chance to get ashore, so I had to drift downstream to the main river. Later, a kind-hearted foreign lady let me get on her boat."
"..."The kindhearted Skaobing's forehead jumped: Who asked you to get on the boat? It was obvious that you climbed up on your own.
On the other side of the phone, Hattori Heiji tasted his tone and felt that Jiang Xia spoke with full energy and did not sound like he was on the verge of death. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I immediately felt something was wrong: Why was there someone rowing in the main river in the middle of the night?
Hattori Heiji: "..." But Jiang Xia also said that she was a "foreign lady". It's normal for foreigners to have strange habits. Maybe they have the tradition of swimming in the river at midnight.
He stopped thinking about it and quickly focused on the business: "So you are now at the intersection of that river and the main river? - I will send the police car and ambulance over immediately, you guys go to the shore first. If it is inconvenient for you to move, just lie down, and a boat will tow you ashore."
…
Jiang Xia hung up the phone and looked at Shi Kaobing.
The other party had already stood up and was very considerately preparing to start the boat. At the same time, he smiled sheepishly and said, "We hit it off just now, but I was so busy chatting that I forgot to take you ashore. Please sit down quickly, we will dock soon."
Jiang Xia, along with a scent of murderous aura, rowed the boat to the shore.
Shi Kaobing is like a leopard with a killing instinct - even if her mind tells her that now is not the best time to kill Jiang Xia, every time she sees Jiang Xia with his back to her, facing this threatening person, she can't help but become more murderous.
…
Jiang Xia didn't seem to know how to row a boat very well. The boat slowly and crookedly moved towards the shore, turning in the water from time to time.
Shi Kaobing endured the torment and silently exerted the strength of two people, rowing the boat alternately left and right, and finally rowed the boat to the shore.
The moment she reached the shore, she actually felt a little relieved.
She stepped onto the river bank and wanted to just leave, but she just thought about it. Soon, she decided to be friendly to the end, turned around and stretched out her hand to Jiang Xia, who, like a qualified wounded soldier, supported her hand and jumped onto the shore.
There seems to be a bit of affectionate eye contact here after escaping danger.
But soon, a police car rushed towards them, then screeched to a stop. A man dressed in black jumped out of the car. Hattori Heiji had reunited with the police at some point.
"Are you okay?! There were bombs on those two cars, why did you rush forward so far?" Hattori Heiji seemed to have heard about what happened just now, and frowned in disapproval, "The police can just set up obstacles to stop them. The equipment nowadays is very advanced, there is no need to risk your body!"
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment: "If it were you, you would definitely rush faster."
"I...I'm not that insecure."
Hattori Heiji looked away guiltily. As he turned his head, he saw a white car, and his eyes immediately lit up and waved over there: "Quick! The wounded are over here!"
As the paramedics approached with a stretcher, Hattori Heiji walked around Jiang Xia and said in surprise, "I thought that even if there were no missing arms or legs, there would definitely be a lot of scratches... You are so lucky!"
Jiang Xia nodded without any guilt: "My luck has always been pretty good, so next time I encounter something like this, I'll go first."
Hattori Heiji's eyes jumped: "..." Wishful thinking, next time he will bring a motorcycle! He will not give these two cunning Tokyo people the opportunity to abandon him and run away without permission on the grounds that "the skateboard is too small".
Just as he was thinking about it, a few voices suddenly came from a distance: "Jiang Xia——!!"
Jiang Xia looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that three female classmates, who should have gone home to rest, had also heard the news and were running over.
Shi Kaobing stood beside Jiang Xia, glanced over there, and looked at her secretly, his gaze lingering on Suzuki Sonoko for a while.
After observing this young man from the Suzuki family, who was her backup hostage, Shi Kaobing remembered the honey trap again.
She took a quick look at three girls who seemed to have a good relationship with Jiang Xia, and raised her eyebrows slightly: They are all quite pretty. Although one of them has a bit of a messy hairstyle, she would definitely be a beauty if she let her bangs down.
This made her waver in her plan, and she was worried that Jiang Xia was too resistant to beautiful women.
But then she thought: the young detective's eyes just now would not lie - perhaps it was because he had been looking at the tender and weak female high school students for so long that Jiang Xia was so easily attracted by her mature taste. In short, now, according to her observation, Jiang Xia did not show similar emotions when facing these three little girls.
This quickly made Shi Kaobing feel at ease again.
…
Three female classmates who didn't have any murderous intent ran over quickly, and the first thing they said was the same as what Hattori Heiji had just said, anxiously: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Xia nodded, answered again, and briefly repeated his experience.
Of course, the hardworking mermaid who brought him all the way here and was responsible for clearing away the sharp debris in the river was hidden.
