Chapter 16421650 [Backstab from a Conspirator]
Two cases that seemed to have nothing to do with each other were suddenly combined together. For a moment, Hashimoto Maya's thoughts were a little stuck: If I remember correctly, this case that caused the makeup artist to suspect him was actually the work of Uzo.
Mr. Ireland was following downstairs at the time and was almost hit by the person falling from the building... This case was not just used to provoke the boss, but behind the simple hitting of people, it was actually mixed with this invisible and continuous killing move? !
"..." Hashimoto Maya thought of the malicious intent that had been following her for a long time but was not detected in time, and her whole body felt cold: So she had already stepped into Uzo's trap at that time? But at that time, the only one who faced Uzo was Mr. Ireland. As an assistant, she had been hiding behind the scenes and had no contact with Uzo at all!
...Can we count him in just by relying on Mr. Ireland as the middleman?
As this thought flashed through her mind, Hashimoto Maya felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart: Mr. Ireland was actually going to be hostile to such a person. This was simply a pirate ship that was bound to sink... and now, she was on the ship, watching a hole in the plank, and the next moment the ship might sink.
…
Jiang Xia harvested the iced black tea for a while, and suddenly found that the murderous aura was gone.
He was slightly startled, and his eyes moved away from the murderous aura and looked at Hashimoto Maya. Only then did he notice that the person's soul seemed to be out of his body.
Jiang Xia: "..." The new little brother's output is much higher than that of Okiya Subaru and Vodka, but his psychological quality is not good enough, and he was distracted during the process. It seems that he needs more training...
He quietly put the training plan on the agenda, just behind the important personnel plan.
Then, like a detective who had just come to his senses after being immersed in reasoning, he apologized, "I'm sorry, I just had a sudden association and said a few words casually. I didn't mean to identify you as the murderer. In fact, according to this logic, I am the biggest suspect sitting next to Maki Shuli. Please rest assured, if you are innocent, we will not wrongly accuse a good person."
“…”
Maya Hashimoto's soul, which was halfway floating away, fell back into her body with a thud.
Although she has nothing to do with being a "good guy", at least in the case of Makiri's death, Maya Hashimoto was indeed quite innocent.
He recalled the detective's amazing efficiency in solving cases when he investigated Jiang Xia a while ago, and felt like he was alive again: "..." Yes, there is also Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia should not have found the wrong murderer.
After realizing this, Hashimoto Maya quietly raised his hand and pressed his chest. He had never felt that he had any heart problems before, but after the plane landed, he decided to make an appointment for a physical examination immediately to see if he had any new heart disease or something.
…
After Jiang Xia said that, the crew stopped staring at Hashimoto Maya. They looked away and re-examined each other, secretly guessing who the murderer was.
Hashimoto Maya successfully withdrew from everyone's spotlight, and the risk of being silenced by the organization also quickly decreased.
The life-and-death crisis temporarily disappeared, and Maya Hashimoto's mind started working again.
"Although Jiang Xia changed his words later, when he used the tone of telling a story to speculate that I had the opportunity to commit the crime, he didn't sound like he was joking. He was seriously considering this possibility." Hashimoto Maya muttered in his heart, "Could it be that just now, Jiang Xia was actually led by Uzo, but the detective immediately noticed something was wrong and woke up in time?"
Anyway, I finally got through this stage safely.
"Although Mr. Ireland was defeated repeatedly when dealing with Uzo... No, he fought again and again despite repeated failures, this time, he finally made a wise decision." A glimmer of hope ignited in Hashimoto Maya's heart, "It is useful to pull Jiang Xia to the friendly camp. For example, this time, I successfully avoided the trap that Uzo set for me."
The moods of the organization members fluctuated greatly.
Meanwhile, the other passengers found it difficult to understand his thoughts as they were all concentrating on the case.
The makeup artist scanned almost everyone present, pointed out six or seven suspects, and then leisurely sat back in her seat. She looked at Jiang Xia with a scrutinizing look, like a stern examiner who had just given the detective a difficult question.
Only then did the group of people who were dragged into the water by her come to their senses one after another.
The director's wife snorted coldly, "You mentioned our motives for murder in such detail, but when it came to you, you just brushed it off in one sentence. Maki Shuli's body wasn't even cold yet, but you couldn't wait to expose all her bad habits from work to private life. Based on this alone, you're the one who hates her the most."
The director followed her lead and mocked the makeup artist, saying, "Makiri always said that selecting subordinates is like raising a dog. Now it seems that she really lacks vision and raised an ungrateful wolf that bites her back - it turns out that betrayal by a confidant is the most terrifying."
The makeup artist looked unhappy and retorted to the camera: "Just like you cultivated Mu Shuli with all your strength, but in the end she repaid your kindness with hatred?"
“…”
The suspects exchanged sharp words, and both sides suffered losses.
At the edge of their battlefield, a bystander who had just thought he was safe was inexplicably stabbed again.
...The betrayal of a confidant is the most terrifying?
Just as Hashimoto Maya had recovered from her roller-coaster-like mood, she heard this innuendo-filled line again.
He couldn't help but glared at the director: "..." You are also controlled by Uzo? Why do you say such divisive words!
As Ireland's confidant, Hashimoto Maya prayed silently: the boss should not think too much.
However, he saw with despair that Ireland had indeed failed to ignore his words. After seeing the tragic situation of Mu Shuli being exposed, this cautious cadre almost instinctively glanced in his direction, as if thinking about something.
Hashimoto Maya was almost sweating: "..." I'm not, I don't, I'm very loyal, except that I'm a little bit hesitant... I have no ulterior motives!
I don’t know what Ireland is thinking. On the surface, he didn’t show his doubts directly.
Ireland quickly put away his instinctive vigilance and gave him a reassuring look, indicating that he would not care about such a direct provocation, in order to appease this still very useful subordinate.
The two men tried hard to maintain their initial comradeship, but when faced with "Uzo", a bastard who was good at instigating people, a crack caused by the desire to survive inevitably appeared between them.
…
Unlike the members of the organization who have heard too many strange rumors and always want to find the non-existent "Uzo" around them.
The crew members did not feel that they were being manipulated, nor did they assume for no reason that there was a mastermind behind the incident.
