Chapter 1333 1341 [Show up! Detective Vodka] Ask for monthly votes ()
In the hotel room.
Yoko Kinoshita quickly braided her fluffy curly hair, covered it with a baseball cap, and changed into a low-key outfit.
After getting dressed, she found her wallet, took it with her, and left the room with the three high school girls.
Jiang Xia heard the sound of the door opening, and looked back from a distance.
His eyes fell on Kinoshita Yoko's plain sportswear and he smiled: "It seems you are well prepared."
Kinoshita Yoko raised her hand to adjust her hat and raised her head proudly: "In fact, I have wanted to go out for a walk for a long time!"
As he was speaking, the door at the corner suddenly clicked.
Someone walked out from inside, accompanied by a strange laugh - that laughter was very recognizable, it was the sound made in the mind of the skull watch bought from the United States by the vicious prop master at the shrine earlier.
Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw the prop master walking out of the guest room at the end. He seemed to be in a hurry. He turned off the alarm on his watch and hurried to the stairs. His figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the group of people.
"It seems like I'm not the only one who wants to go out for a walk." Kinoshita Yoko was a little surprised, "But why does Mr. Anzai seem to be in a hurry? It's already evening. Does he have something else urgent to do?"
Mao Lilan recalled the secret she and Jiang Xia had seen in the grove of the shrine just now. Her eyes twitched and she whispered to Jiang Xia, "Is he going to threaten others again?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "I hope not."
…
A few people walked downstairs while chatting. When they walked out the door, they saw a person standing stiffly in the shadow outside the door.
Mao Lilan, who was afraid of ghosts, was startled. After a moment, she recognized the person in the dim light: "Miss Assistant?"
The assistant who was about to get married was startled and turned her head. Her face was very ugly, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
Kinoshita Yoko asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Nothing." Douyuan Taeko shook her head. She was not in the mood to say more and hurried back to the hotel.
"Is everyone too tired today? Why are they all acting so strangely?" Kinoshita Yoko pushed the baseball cap on her head in confusion. "Let's bring her some snacks when we come back."
A group of people walked out of the courtyard.
Jiang Xia's eyes swept across the dim street and his gaze paused slightly in the distance.
Then he quickly put it back as if nothing had happened, mixed in with Yoko Kinoshita's group of people, and went to a nearby convenience store.
…
The few of them strolled around the convenience store for a while. Yoko Kinoshita brushed past some passers-by and got away with it without being recognized.
The only time there was a slight risk was when a woman thought she looked familiar and took a few more glances. But before she could recognize her, her husband suddenly approached and kissed her out of the blue.
The woman was startled and looked at her husband in confusion, her attention was immediately diverted.
…
“It went really smoothly!”
Ten minutes later, Yoko Kinoshita looked at her two bulging shopping bags, left the convenience store reluctantly, and returned to the street.
She said happily: "I will go shopping somewhere else if I have the chance!"
Jiang Xia helped her carry the bag: "..." Then you must be prepared to be caught on the spot, and then be prepared to sign autographs and take photos with passers-by one by one...
There aren't many places to go around, and there aren't many roads covered by street lights.
Considering safety issues, Yoko Kinoshita did not drag the high school students around, but went straight back to the hotel.
On the way, several people passed by the shrine where they were filming in the afternoon, and suddenly they heard a crisp sound - a piece of gravel fell down the steps with a clatter, as if someone had accidentally kicked it.
Several people were startled and looked up.
A dark figure was standing in the shadow at the top of the stairs. The figure obviously realized that he had alarmed passers-by, so he turned around and ran away, disappearing into the dense woods next to him in the blink of an eye.
"Why are you running?" Yuanshan Heye was startled at first, and then his police gene quickly awakened, his eyes became fierce, "Could it be a thief?!"
As she said this she rushed up the steps, trying to chase the person who had escaped.
However, before she reached the top of the stairs, she saw something and screamed, "There's someone on the ground... on the ground!"
“?!”
The others were startled and quickly followed.
I saw a dark figure lying on the approach road at the end of the stairs.
Jiang Xia emptied the bag in his hand, took out his cell phone and turned it on.
Taking a look in the light, Kinoshita Yoko recognized him: "Mr. Anzai?!"
This is the prop master with a sharp tongue.
At this time, he was covered in blood, lying on the ground with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Xia took a closer look, shook his head and sighed: "Call the police."
This was said in a rather euphemistic way, but the three experienced high school girls and Yoko Kinoshita, who had not seen many murders but often read news about Jiang Xia, understood it immediately and felt a pang in their hearts at the same time - since Jiang Xia did not mention the ambulance at the first time, it meant that the person was already dead.
"How could this happen?" Kinoshita Yoko was obviously a little frightened. "When he left the house just now, he was fine..."
Jiang Xia put the shopping bag a few meters away and took a picture of the ground around him with his phone. Next to the body, he saw a coat and a hat, both belonging to the prop master. A little further away, there was a bloody switchblade.
"This seems to be the knife that the crew used during the filming this afternoon." Jiang Xia quickly recognized it. "Either the real murderer wanted to frame the crew and used this knife on purpose, or the murderer acted on impulse and couldn't find any other props, so he had to pick up a nearby knife."
At the mention of "film crew", Yoko Kinoshita was a little inspired and tried to treat the scene in front of her as a play.
Looking at the high school girls nearby who had quickly calmed down, she also finally calmed down.
Then something was discovered.
The body was lying on the ground. Kinoshita Yoko looked at the right hand of the body and found a few bloody words on it. She was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that someone would actually write a message next to himself with blood before dying. I thought it was all an artistic effect..."
Jiang Xia didn't know what the deceased was thinking, so he just said, "Stories come from life."
Yoko Kinoshita nodded with sudden realization, showing an expression that said "I got it".
…
The bloody words on the ground are "コマイヌ", which can be written as "Komainu" in katakana, referring to the two stone lions at the entrance of the shrine.
Several girls were whispering about what this word meant.
At this moment, they suddenly heard Jiang Xia's low voice: "There seems to be someone over there."
"?!" Suzuki Sonoko was startled and asked in a low voice, "The murderer hasn't left yet?! Is he going to kill us all?"
