Chapter 1421: 1429 [Let’s die together, Uzo]
Before leaving, Ireland paused slightly as he remembered something.
He took out a sketch of the Uzo suspect that he had drawn from his pocket.
——That is the picture that I showed to Himuro Reiji just now.
For a moment, he wanted to throw the picture on the table and leave it to the police, so that Uzo would come into the police's sight like him.
But at the last moment of letting go, Ireland couldn't help but hesitate.
Ireland: “…” Actually, I can’t guarantee that the two people in the picture are Uzo.
——Uzo almost plotted against him and let him be hit by the corpse, that is to say. Uzo actually knew that "Ireland would go to the base today", if the demon was willing, he could completely avoid the encounter at the base.
But at that time, Ireland saw two strangers as she wished. Now thinking back, maybe there was no Uzo among those two people.
Even if there was, Uzo must have found a way to prevent him from taking advantage of it, otherwise Uzo would not have shown up at all.
Ireland: “…” No matter how you think about it, it was indeed my fault this time.
However, being passive and doing things without preparation and planning will only lead you into the abyss little by little.
...We must not be led by Uzo.
And according to the rumors about Uzo in the organization, the way to avoid being harmed seems to be to not have the intention to kill or harm others.
Thinking of this, Ireland was silent for a moment, wondering in his heart, "Uzo is such a shady guy, so sinister, and has killed so many people. But with this summary, he is described as a good person."
But no matter what, reason finally prevailed.
"I'm an avenger. Not only Uzo, but also Gin, and even... the organization." Ireland warned himself in his heart, "For the sake of the greater cause, I must protect myself now. I'm just suspended from work and out of the limelight - I will definitely come back, and that will be the death of Uzo and that patrolman!"
He barely suppressed his hatred for Uzo, put away the portrait, picked up the suitcase containing the body, and left.
…
Although there were some brief hiccups along the way, overall, Ireland's evacuation was very smooth.
When the police arrived at Himuro's house with the detective, as usual, they were a step late, and only a few fallen shikigami and a cloud of murderous aura were left at the scene.
Police knocked on the door, but no one answered, so once a search warrant arrived, they broke down the door and entered the home.
"No one's home?" Inspector Megure asked angrily, "Did Himuro run away early?"
Jiang Xia frowned, as if thinking about something, walked around with heavy steps, and soon strolled to the side of the Shikigami.
Then, when no one was paying attention, he bent down, picked them up, and held them in his arms as if nothing had happened.
During this time, he took a look at the few paper-like shikigami he had just picked up and felt that they looked a little familiar.
The ghosts floated over, got closer to identify them for a moment, and said with certainty: These are the ones that were hanging on Himuro's legs just now - although the shikigami look similar and have extremely similar auras, there are still some subtle differences.
Next to him, Kirito landed on the ground, bent down and looked into the gap under the cabinet.
Soon it went in and then walked out with a murderous aura.
Jiang Xia was not surprised to see this murderous aura: the shikigami on Himuro's legs fell off, and the murderous aura on his body also fell off. The murderer who almost killed the cadre was probably dead now.
Killing Himuro Reiji at this time and taking away the body skillfully... From this point of view, Himuro Reiji, a former bank robber who had just completed a planned murder, was probably attacked by Ireland. Alas, the irritable cadres.
While he sorted out the murderous aura and the shikigami and put them away, he naturally walked to another place and quietly merged into the exploration team.
…
The police carefully searched every corner of the room and also looked in the nearby alleys, but could not find any trace of Himuro Reiji.
"There's a gap here. Judging from the size and the marks on the ground, there might have been a suitcase there before." Officer Sato looked around and was a little disappointed. "Some things are missing from the house too. Himuro was so confident just now, but in fact, he was probably worried about being exposed by the detective, so he fled early."
Jiang Xia originally wanted to nod in agreement.
But on second thought, as a seemingly famous detective, this doesn't seem right.
So in the end, he didn't nod his head, but just touched his chin like a detective, thinking about something.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the side.
Conan whispered an invitation to chat: "You also feel something is wrong, right?"
Jiang Xia looked down at him.
Conan pointed to the tatami next to the closet and said, "There's a little indentation on the floor. There should have been a suitcase here before, but it was just taken away. Judging from the distance between the four wheels, the suitcase is huge, but Himuro has just been released from prison and doesn't have much property. There aren't many clothes in his closet either - compared to the things he took away, the size of the suitcase is really too big."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the cabinet beside him: "There are some small suitcases in here. When escaping in a hurry, it is more normal to travel light, but Bingshi's behavior is not like that... It always feels a bit inappropriate."
Jiang Xia: "..." He knows this question. That big suitcase was probably used to hold Himuro Reiji himself.
Ireland was much better than Vodka for turning the house upside down and making it look like the owner had fled. But when a first-grade student saw this illusion, he immediately found it to be abnormal... Tsk, tsk, tsk, I should record Conan's reasoning and send it to Ireland to watch carefully. This would probably make him more murderous.
Jiang Xia: "..." But then he thought, if Ireland gets angry and knocks Conan down with a punch when he's not prepared, that wouldn't be good...
Thinking of this tragic result, Jiang Xia moved his fingers, but finally gave up this friendly exchange with his colleagues with regret.
After Conan finished speaking, he looked up and waited to hear Jiang Xia's opinion.
But before Jiang Xia could speak, a voice suddenly came from the side.
——Kogoro Mouri happened to be near them and heard the conversation just now.
Facing Conan's question, he snorted: "Little brat, what do you know? People like Himuro would not hide truly valuable stolen goods at home. After all, he has a criminal record and has been actively causing trouble recently. He is the focus of the police. He must have reserved enough space in the suitcase to dig up the stolen goods buried elsewhere before escaping."
