Chapter 1369 1377 [Please stop pretending to be dead] Please give me a monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
"We didn't run into a murder case, the murder case found us." Jiang Xia sighed, like an ordinary passerby who was innocently involved in a complicated case. "I'll let Secretary Nishino tell you the exact location."
He handed the phone to Masato Nishino.
…
"The crime scene is actually on a boat. Let's take a helicopter." Inspector Megure took his subordinates and several officers from the Forensic Department to the helipad.
Halfway through the journey, they met a man.
Inspector Megure looked at the man and was stunned for a moment: "Brother Shiratori? Didn't you go to Karuizawa for vacation?"
Inspector Shiratori waved his hand and said, "There's nothing fun at the villa, so I came back early. Why did you bring so many people from the forensic department? Is there another murder case?"
Inspector Megure was worried about the lack of manpower. Seeing this labor force delivered to his doorstep, he decisively pulled him into the team: "There was a shooting incident on the ship of the Suzuki Group. You should come and take a look."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, and with mixed feelings, he whispered the news he had just received to this elite colleague: "Jiang Xia and his group have returned to Tokyo."
"..." Inspector Shiratori was stunned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: He's back, so he's back, why do you make it sound like a robber passing through? Isn't Jiang Xia a good friend of the police?
However, despite his doubts, he did not express his thoughts out loud. He just cooperated with Inspector Megure and copied an expression similar to that of the inspector.
Then he quietly blended into the team and boarded the helicopter heading to the big ship.
…
The helicopter landed on the yacht soon. Chairman Suzuki and several high school students were waiting for the police nearby.
As soon as Inspector Megure got off the plane, he saw several familiar faces. He looked at the group of high school students and sighed, "You guys..." He swallowed the rest of his words halfway through, "Oh, it's nothing, you guys have worked hard."
Inspector Megure: "..." He thought to himself, there are so many murders, how can we blame a few enthusiastic high school students? This should be the murderer's fault. On the contrary, this group of young people have helped the police a lot. We should be conscientious.
"Take me to the crime scene first." Inspector Megure walked towards the cabin. "Also, gather the guests on the ship. Based on experience, the murderer may be among them."
…
Shiro Suzuki originally didn't want to disturb the passengers on the boat, but now that it involved a murder case, he had no choice but to call the people out.
Pu Siqinglan took out the documents she had brought with her and pretended to be busy in the room like a scholar.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, she got up and went out, and came to the spacious reception room with others.
With a quick glance, I saw that several other guests had also been called here. Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Li Ran and Kosaka Natsumi also came one after another and gathered together, whispering something.
Pu Si Qinglan didn't see Jiang Xia and breathed a sigh of relief.
She took a cup of warm black tea, held it in her hand and drank it slowly. In her mind, she had already imagined a scene some time later when the police checked the entire ship but could not find Jiang Xia.
Anxiety, suspicion, speculation about the connection between Jiang Xia's disappearance and the deceased... No matter which one it was, it would make them focus on the missing Jiang Xia without worrying about the exposure of "Shi Kaobing".
The script is well written.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one mentioned Jiang Xia's disappearance at all - as if they didn't care about the whereabouts of this detective at all.
Pu Siqinglan gradually felt a little uneasy and lost her patience.
She took the half-drunk cup of tea and approached a few high school girls. She listened carefully to their conversation and found that they were talking about corpses and the horrific scene of the room being rummaged through, and did not mention the disappearance of the detective at all.
"..."Pu Siqinglan snorted in her heart: I didn't even notice that one person was missing. It seems that these are just a group of superficial friends.
With a hint of pride after successfully committing a crime, she looked around the living room and asked the others softly, "Why can't I see Jiang Xia? I heard that he is always very active in solving cases, but now he is not here... Should we go to the room to look for him?"
"Jiang Xia?"
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, feeling that her question was a little strange: Since she knew that Jiang Xia was very enthusiastic about solving the case, he must have gone to the scene, so why did she go to the room to look for him?
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” Wait, this female pervert who secretly touched the back of someone's hand, could she be trying to take the opportunity to sneak into Jiang Xia's bedroom to take a look?
As a self-proclaimed detective assistant who is no less capable than "Mr. Yamada", Suzuki Sonoko cleared her throat, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to reason with Pu Siqinglan to put a stop to her fantastic ideas.
But before she opened her mouth, she suddenly saw something and was slightly startled.
The next moment, under Pu Siqinglan's expectant gaze.
Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand and pointed behind her: "Isn't it coming?"
Pu Siqinglan was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "What?"
"Jiang Xia." Suzuki Sonoko pointed behind her and asked her to look. "You don't have to go to the room to find him. He has already come to find you."
"..." These words, which sounded like a ghost story, made Pu Siqinglan's gentle expression freeze on her face in an instant.
She looked at Suzuki Sonoko's serious expression, and goose bumps silently crawled up her back: "..." Is this guy kidding her? ! How could a person who was already dead and sunk in the sea...
Pu Siqinglan turned her head stiffly.
She saw Jiang Xia standing behind the sofa where she was, looking up at the people in the living room.
The young detective was spotless, without a trace of sea water, and his hair was spotless... Even if his hair could be blown dry, his clothes were still the same as before he fell into the water.
A chill silently crept into Pu Siqinglan's heart: She put the person into the body bag with her own hands, and she would never have remembered Jiang Xia's clothes wrongly! Everything about this detective was exactly the same as before the murder, as if the process of being poisoned and drowned was just her illusion... How could this be possible? !
Jiang Xia suddenly looked down at her.
Pu Siqinglan stood up suddenly, almost unable to control the urge to draw her gun. However, just now, in order to prevent the police from searching, she had hidden the gun somewhere else.
Others also heard the noise and looked over here in confusion.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Xia said, as if he had figured something out. "Sorry, did I scare you? Next time I stand behind you, I'll tell you first."
As he spoke, he politely stepped back a little, moving further away from the back of the chair, looking gentlemanly and considerate.
Pu Siqinglan, however, had no intention of praising him. Her face turned pale, and only one sentence kept echoing in her mind: He is already dead, he is obviously dead... How is this possible? !
