Chapter 160 Jiang Xia's off switch
Yizhi Long looked out the window anxiously: "Could he have escaped? It's very dangerous in the mountains at night... Let's split up and look for him nearby!"
Running into the mountains alone in the middle of the night would be unthinkable for anyone else, but for the wayward Sijing Lihua...
She could really do such a thing just to be angry.
A group of people ran out the door quickly.
…
Jiang Xia looked around and walked in a random direction. Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan also followed him.
The four people followed the path for nearly a hundred meters, shouting Sijing Lihua's name along the way, but no one responded.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the gloomy trees around her, frowned, and made a deduction: "She shouldn't be in this direction."
——Because if you put yourself in her shoes, if it were her, she would definitely not be able to help but run out when Jiang Xia called her name for the first time... and someone as flamboyant as Shii Rika would only be more impatient than her!
The other three, although they failed to understand Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning, agreed with her conclusion: "Maybe she went somewhere else."
The rustling sound of rain hitting leaves gradually began to rise in my ears.
It's raining.
Jiang Xia raised his hand to catch the increasingly large raindrops, and said thoughtfully: "Even if Miss Sijing has a special personality, she is still a normal adult after all. If she was angry, she would at most test the outskirts of the woods and would not go so deep. And if it was a kidnapping, the kidnappers would not drive the car into a woods full of obstacles... Let's go back and take a look first, maybe others have already found her."
…
The four of them, holding a dim flashlight, took some time to cross the woods and return to the villa.
As expected, everyone else came back, but Shii Reika was not among them.
What was more strange was that none of the people who came back went into the house. Instead, they gathered around the fountain in the yard, as if they were frightened by something and were completely silent.
Jiang Xia approached with a flashlight: "What's wrong?"
The ponytailed man turned around, pointed forward, and said with difficulty: "...dead."
Beside the fountain, a soaking wet man was kneeling with his face buried in the water - it was Nikaidou who had secretly arranged an engagement with Yotsuigawa Rika.
"..." Jiang Xia paused slightly.
After a few seconds, he seemed to come to his senses a little slowly, walked forward, pulled the man out of the water, and put him on the ground.
Conan immediately ran to the side, checked for a moment, and shook his head in his heart: It's dead.
"There are marks on the back of the neck." Jiang Xia's voice came from the side, "This is murder."
…
Suddenly, a dead person appeared in the villa. And before that, another person had gone missing.
With two people getting into trouble in succession, the already depressing atmosphere suddenly became even heavier.
In order not to disturb the scene excessively, the few people did not move the body away, but found a piece of waterproof cloth and politely covered Nikaidou's body.
Then they returned to the villa.
…
A common suburban villa, a common isolated situation - no cell phone signal, all telephone lines are down, all means of transportation are deflated, and all one can do is wait until the next morning when Chairman Sijing will send someone over.
In addition, the missing Yotsui Reika is also of concern, and some people have a wild imagination: "Could she be the murderer who killed Nikaido?"
The situation is in chaos.
Jiang Xia comforted the others: "There's no point in getting anxious now, let's sort out the situation together first."
The oldest, Rokuda Masashi, nodded in agreement.
He remembered that it was already late, so he looked at the maid, Granny Mi:
“Make us some coffee to wake us up. The person who killed Nikaidou is probably hiding among us. Now is not a good time to sleep.”
