Chapter 133 Vodka Talks Too Much
Hattori Heiji was sighing when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He turned his head warily and saw Jiang Xia looking at him.
After a moment, Jiang Xia approached and whispered thoughtfully, "You don't want to run away, do you?"
"?!!" Hattori Heiji suddenly felt guilty as if his thoughts were exposed, but his mouth was still very stubborn, and he subconsciously refuted, "How is it possible!"
"That's good." Jiang Xia regained his friendly look and smiled at him, "I was worried that you would avoid me because of this kind of thing... Then when you come to Tokyo in the future, remember to come to me more often. I feel that we will get along well."... I always feel that this new case collector is not very honest, and needs to be provoked a little to adjust.
Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's familiar expression and suddenly remembered Jiang Xia's heartfelt question on the way to the school: "Have you ever considered transferring to Tokyo?"
"..." He didn't understand what Jiang Xia meant at that time, but now he suddenly understood.
——It must be that after Jiang Xia started working as a part-time detective, he felt that solving cases alone was too boring, so he wanted to find someone else to compete with.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji had sweat dripping from his temples - he was far away in Osaka, but Jiang Xia dared to ask him sincerely whether he wanted to move. And Kudo Shinichi was Jiang Xia's classmate, and he must have been dragged into competitions to solve cases many times... It was terrible, what had Kudo gone through!
However, now is not the time to sympathize with Kudo Shinichi. Jiang Xia is obviously not satisfied with the famous detectives in the East, and now he is targeting him, a famous detective in the West...
Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's back as she left and began to miss Osaka.
But, speaking of Kudo Shinichi...
Hattori Heiji suddenly realized something.
He turned to look at Conan, focusing on the earmuffs around Conan's neck, and also remembered the sympathetic look Conan gave him.
Hattori Heiji: "..." If it was Kudo Shinichi, this behavior would be reasonable. But Conan is just a first-grade kid, why would he also... Wait.
...What if it was Kudo Shinichi?
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Hattori Heiji's mind.
But he had no evidence...
…
The other side.
Gin is still waiting for Jiang Xia to submit the mission plan for "assassinating Ikemura Isao".
At the same time, in order to ensure the completion of the mission, he also developed several assassination plans himself.
However, when two snipers were sent out to familiarize themselves with the area, Gin suddenly received news from Chianti that Ikemura Isao was dead.
Died of a murder.
…The case solved by Jiang Xia.
If we look at these two points individually, there is nothing wrong with either one.
But they merged together, and it happened to be at the time when he had just finished assigning a task to Jiang Xia...
…
Gin called people out again and this time chose a sushi restaurant.
He sat in the box and asked directly: "Did you kill the person?"
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from Sushi: "Strictly speaking, no." Not strictly speaking, no.
Gin and Vodka failed to understand the second half of Jiang Xia's sentence, and they directly translated Jiang Xia's answer into "I didn't do it myself, but the murderer was under my control."
Gin was satisfied with the result of the assassination, but felt that the process was severely flawed.
He tapped his knuckles on the table twice. "You didn't report it."
Jiang Xia held the teacup and said, "I left a little hint to Chicun Gongjiang before. I wanted to observe her actions first and then make a detailed plan based on them, but I didn't expect her to act so quickly." He sighed and said, "It seems that I underestimated her feelings for her ex-husband."
Vodka was a little confused: "Feelings for your ex-husband?"
The information they gave Jiang Xia did have a note about Kimura Kimie's "remarriage". But the organization's target was Kimura Xun, and the information they gave him was only incidental, not to mention her marital status...Jiang Xia actually used this little piece of information?
Jiang Xia nodded: "Ikemura Gongjiang's friends often ask me to help them find cats. Among them, there are several wealthy ladies who are very talkative. Although they guard their own secrets very strictly, they don't care so much about other people's secrets. Sometimes, the information they accidentally reveal is not taken seriously by them, but it is very valuable to me.
"Following the clues they accidentally gave, it is not difficult to find that Ikemura Kimie's ex-husband is Yamashiro Kenji. Twenty years ago, he was imprisoned for a crime and died in prison fifteen years ago.
"Although there is no clear evidence, after Yamashiro Kenji was arrested, Ikemura Isao benefited the most. Moreover, Ikemura Isao's reputation is average, and there are rumors that he used dishonorable methods. Ikemura Isao may have been involved in Yamashiro Kenji's imprisonment.
"At that time, Kimie Ikemura had gone through a period of low life alone before remarrying Ikemura Isao. I think she might have been deceived by Ikemura Isao, so I tried to send this message to her - if Kimie Ikemura was not an accomplice of Ikemura Isao in the matter of 'putting Yamashiro Kenji in jail', then to her, Ikemura Isao was the enemy who tore her family apart. After hearing this, she would definitely have a dispute with Ikemura Isao. In this way, when Ikemura Isao dies in the future, she can naturally become a suspect.
"Also, although the hope is slim, she may have killed someone herself. So when her friends came to my office, I adjusted the order of the case clippings in the office. There are some suitable murder methods hidden in the clippings. Those wives would get bored while waiting and would pick up the clippings to read. Later, those cases would become topics of conversation when they chatted... Now it seems that Ikemura Kimie was indeed inspired by them."
Vodka felt something was wrong: "You showed her friends the relevant cases, and she killed people using the specific method you chose? Is it really such a coincidence?"
