Chapter 1370 1378 [Dead, not dead, dead, not dead...]
After a moment, Pu Siqinglan suddenly remembered something and forced a smile through gritted teeth: "I don't feel well, I'm going back to my room to get some medicine."
With that, she hurriedly stood up and left along the corridor.
The police officer guarding the corridor wanted to stop her, but seeing her livid face, as if she had seen a ghost... and looked very uncomfortable, he thought something might really have happened to her, so he did not stop her and just followed her.
…
Pu Siqinglan returned to the room and closed the door. She went straight to the closet and took out two cups.
The cup smelled of detergent, which was the trace left when she dealt with the poisonous cup that Jiang Xia had used just now.
She took off her shoes again, pulled off her heels, and took out a bottle of medicine from the small space inside. She looked at the amount carefully - compared to when she first hid it, the amount of poison was indeed less.
...In other words, killing Jiang Xia and sinking him into the sea was definitely not a dream.
All these traces can prove that it really happened.
But, but why can't he die? How did he survive? And yesterday's shooting...
"Pu... uh, that is, Miss Qinglan." The police officer at the door felt that her name was a bit difficult to pronounce. "Are you ready?"
"Um, sorry, I'll be right there." Pu Si Qinglan quickly put her heels back in place and put them back on her feet, then picked up her handbag and turned to go out.
Although she had no intention of sitting with that group of people to discuss the case, her mind told her that she couldn't stay alone for long.
——Without the missing Jiang Xia, the police would undoubtedly focus on this shooting case. The more she was away from the group, the more suspicious she would be. As the real murderer of the photographer, although she had disposed of all the evidence, she could no longer attract the attention of the police.
Thinking of this, Pu Siqinglan followed the police officer and walked back to the reception room.
When we were almost there, two people were walking towards us in the corridor.
——Jiang Xia followed a tall police officer from the reception room to the other side of the corridor, probably heading to the crime scene.
Pu Siqinglan looked at that face and silently tensed her body.
At the moment when the two passed each other, Jiang Xia suddenly turned around and smiled at her.
Completely different from his previous gentle and sunny smile, this time, he smiled like a water ghost that had just crawled back from hell, and every arc was mixed with sticky malice. Pu Siqinglan was struck by a bone-chilling chill, and the next moment, she saw Jiang Xia's lips move slightly, and he said a few words silently.
--I'm back.
Such an ordinary sentence made Pu Siqinglan's pupils shrink suddenly. After taking a few steps, she crossed her arms and shivered.
...Are there really people in this world who are immortal?
…
A few seconds later.
Jiang Xia stopped at the corner, looked back at Pu Siqinglan who had long disappeared from his sight, sighed softly, feeling a little regretful.
——He originally just wanted to provoke her a little, to stir up Shi Kaobing's pride and desire to win, to make her burn with all her fighting spirit and murderous intent again, to find a way to kill the people who should be killed.
But for some reason, after the provocation, her murderous aura did not suddenly swell like last time, but instead slightly diminished.
Thinking of the murderous aura that was shrinking under his gaze, Jiang Xia couldn't help but want to punch the innocent wall like Conan: Damn it, as a well-known international thief, he actually gave up so easily. If long-range sniping and poisoning Shenshui don't work, don't they have other tricks? There are so many ways to kill that haven't been tried yet, why do you think you can't kill?
Jiang Xia: "..." Could it be that Shi Kaobing believed in ghosts and gods and regarded him as an invincible ghost? If so, should I give her a ward off evil spirits to boost her courage?
While thinking about it, I walked towards the crime scene.
Halfway down the corridor, the person in front suddenly stopped.
Jiang Xia was startled, then stopped and looked up: "What's wrong?"
Inspector Shiratori recalled the expression on the cheongsam woman's face when she looked at Jiang Xia when she passed by Pu Siqinglan just now. He was a little curious: "Do you have a grudge against her?"
Jiang Xia glanced at him and said, "She shot me last night and accidentally hit the mirror. She probably thought I was dead, so every time she saw me again, she would act very strangely."
Inspector Shiratori was shocked, and recalled the result of Grandpa Terai's late-night investigation yesterday: "She also targeted you..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that this was not what Inspector Shiratori should say.
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "She is actually a dangerous person with a gun. It seems that the murderer this time is very likely to be her. Why didn't you tell the police such important information earlier? We will provide you with protection!"
"There is no evidence. I only guessed that person was her based on her reaction and general figure. And..." Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and gestured beside his face, pretending to grab him, "Are you also a policeman?"
"!!"
"Inspector Shiratori" protected the disguise on his face and jumped away: "...How did you recognize me!"
Jiang Xia: "..." Of course it's because you have developed new magic power recently...
But this is not easy to say.
"I didn't recognize him, I just lied." Jiang Xia, "Now I recognize him."
Kidd: “…#”
The corner of his eye twitched and he muttered to himself, "cunning detective."
But on second thought, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be made up. And Pu Siqinglan's instinctive fear was not fake. As a detective, Jiang Xia would not tell the police these things without evidence, so the sentence "I didn't recognize him" was actually a lie, which means...
Kidd: "..." tui! Cunning detective.
…
Now that I've been exposed, there's no point in continuing to pretend.
Kidd gave up maintaining his identity as "Inspector Shiratori" in front of Jiang Xia and said with a click of the tongue: "It's really boring to be an opponent of a detective like you."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look up and down at his disguise, feeling somewhat puzzled: Even his colleagues who had been with Shiratori Renzaburo day and night didn't think there was anything wrong with him. And after coming here, he had basically had little contact with Jiang Xia... How did this detective recognize him?
…
In the corridor where the crime scene was located.
Inspector Megure was looking at the messy room with a headache, trying to find useful clues.
Suddenly he felt someone approaching, he turned around and saw Inspector Shiratori whispering something with Jiang Xia.
Inspector Megure turned his hat on his head, a little confused: "When did you two become so close?"
He remembered that Bai Niao didn't often interact with Jiang Xia, and once seemed to have some opinions about Jiang Xia. How come they were whispering to each other in a blink of an eye? Could it be that she was trying to solve the case behind his back? "What are you talking about? Let me hear it too."
Kidd: "..." Are you sure you want to hear it?
