Chapter 1458 1466 [Reporter Yoko] Ask for monthly ticket (`)
"Yeah, okay." Sugimoto Hideki also showed a hint of fear on his face.
He lowered his head and rummaged through his backpack, took out his cell phone and took a look at it, then clicked a few times, as if checking messages.
Then he put his phone into his pocket: "Everything is here, nothing else is missing."
"That's good." Sato Miwako pushed a piece of paper to him, "Sign this document, and then you can go back."
Sugimoto Hideki nodded, took the paper in one hand, and reached into his coat pocket for a pen with the other.
However, as soon as he put his hand into his inner pocket, he paused, then awkwardly withdrew his hand and asked the policeman opposite him: "Um, do you have a pen?"
Sato Miwako was a little surprised and handed over a pen, "Sorry, I forgot you didn't bring a pen."
Most people carry a notebook and a pen. She thought the person in front of her was the same, but now it seems that the other person may not have the habit of using a notebook?
Sugimoto Hideki took the pen and signed with his head down.
At this moment, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
He took out his phone, looked at it, and put it back in. Then he handed the signed document to Officer Sato: "Then I'll leave first?"
Memu Police Department was about to nod.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Jiang Xia glanced at his calf and said apologetically, "Maybe not yet."
…
First floor lounge.
Subaru Okiya was still refreshing his phone at a high intensity, and the small buffer circle seemed to be rubbing against it to produce sparks.
However, no matter how much I searched, I still didn't receive any news from Shuichi Akai.
However, the crew group continued to receive information about what was happening on the front line.
Cute pink avatar:
[There is indeed a hidden story behind the falling accident. Maybe there is a murder case behind it]
[Jiang Xia seems to have discovered something. He stopped the person who was about to leave. The truth should be revealed soon.]
Okiya Subaru: “…” These people in the entertainment industry are so enthusiastic about watching spectators?
There was no new message in the mailbox. Subaru Okiya was tired of checking it, so he waited anxiously while clicking on the avatar with a little curiosity and took a look at the homepage.
Then I was surprised to find that the background of the homepage was the popular idol, Yoko Kinoshita. And it was a life photo that had not been circulated in the market.
"……?"
Subaru Okiya continued to flip through the pages, and belatedly realized something - the reporter on this case was actually Miss Yoko.
...How did she get into the crime-solving team?
Nearby, other crew members saw the news and seemed to be interested in it. Several of them went out and seemed to be planning to sneak over to the place where the fall occurred to watch the excitement.
Of course, Okiya Subaru was not among them.
He was huddled in the corner of the lounge, wondering if Kinoshita Yoko was also one of Usa's targets. At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated, and when he looked down, he saw a new email notification pop up on the top.
"!!"
——Unintentional planting leads to success. When I was refreshing like crazy just now, there was no news from Akai Shuichi. Now that I was distracted, he actually replied to the email!
Subaru Okiya quickly opened the email and saw a brief instruction on it:
[Find a convenient place to answer the phone]
Okiya Subaru stood up and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked for a safe and suitable place.
Before, he was still thinking that even if he received an email from Mr. Akai, there was no way to guarantee that it was a reply from Shuichi Akai - maybe it was Usa's henchmen who took the phone picked up from the crime scene and pretended to reply to the message to fish for information.
But now, with the ability to make phone calls, everything is much easier. After all, there aren't that many people who can fake their voices and imitate Mr. Akai so well.
Shuichi Akai probably took this into consideration and chose this way of communication.
…
Okiya Subaru quickly found a suitable place and sent a message.
Not long after, the phone call came.
"I was handling a task in the suburbs just now and the signal was very poor." Akai Shuichi knew Okiya Subaru quite well. Combining the several messages sent by the other party, he could guess what this graduate student was thinking, so he explained in advance the reason for his delayed reply.
Then he pondered, "As for the falling incident, whether it was aimed at you, I am more inclined to believe that it was just a coincidence. I remember that according to the structure of the airport, the route from the bathroom back to the lounge and the section of the road at the edge of the patio where the falling building can be located intersect. In other words, there is only one point where the falling building can hit you.
"You walked over there by yourself. According to Wu Zuo's habit, the two people who were arguing upstairs could not have received the order to fall from the building directly from him. One of you was on the first floor and the other was on the fourth floor. Your field of vision almost did not overlap. It was almost impossible to guide the deceased to fall from the building while letting you stop right below and wait for the victim to fall. No matter how good Wu Zuo was at controlling people's hearts, he could not eliminate all accidents and control the killing in this way."
Okiya Subaru: "...So that wasn't a punishment from Usa, I just happened to be unlucky today?"
...Although from a rational point of view, this is indeed true.
But the matter involves Uzo, can it really be that simple?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Okiya Subaru felt.
However, Akai Shuichi seemed to be very confident in his own judgment. The FBI's attention had been moved elsewhere: "I heard that Jiang Xia was also at the scene today. Based on previous experience, Wu Zuo might be coming for him. I will quickly investigate the reason why Jiang Xia appeared at the airport, and then speculate on the possible actions that Wu Zuo might take. As for you...you should still follow the original plan, pay attention to concealment, and follow the crew in a low profile."
…
The distant suburbs.
After hanging up the phone, Akai Shuichi pushed up his glasses and looked at his phone in silence.
There is indeed a lot of overlap between the places where Jiangxia and Wuzo appear.
Guessing the worst, perhaps Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo himself.
Akai Shuichi: "..." However, apart from the occasional overlap in position. Whether it was his previous experience in the organization as "Rye Whiskey", Amuro Toru's friendly attitude towards Jiang Xia, and all other evidence and experience, they all pointed to the opposite conclusion - Jiang Xia would not be the mastermind behind the murder.
Even the overlapping appearances of the two could be reasonably explained - for example, the information in Shuichi Akai's hands mainly came from Subaru Okiya. Therefore, as far as he knew, when Usa and Jiang Xia appeared at the same time, Subaru Okiya was also present, so it was difficult to tell who Usa was targeting.
For example, Jiang Xia is a high school detective who is keen on solving cases, while Wu Zuo is a criminal planner who is keen on creating cases. Someone has to crack the ingenious murder methods designed by Wu Zuo. However, the number of people with sufficient IQ and good reasoning skills is very limited.
