Chapter 18021809 [Something is wrong with the superior]
Seeing that time was limited, the two had no time to dawdle any longer. They had no choice but to throw the fast food into Hashimoto Maya's room, then locked the door and left quickly. They were ready to pretend to be staff on the island and receive those annoying customers as their superiors had instructed.
——Although I don’t know what the superior means by saying this, but since it is a mission, I will just do it.
…
After the two left, in the room.
Hashimoto Maya looked at the door with gratitude and pity, and listened to the footsteps going away. He felt a sense of sadness and solemnity as he bid farewell to a warrior. He didn't know how many of the two people who were sent there in one piece would come back.
...maybe half?
While thinking, Hashimoto Maya stood up and walked to the window, silently looking at the sea.
Although the door and windows were locked, he could easily open the locks. For a moment, he wanted to pry open the window, climb along the wall to the edge of the island, and swim back to the shore with his bare hands...but reason stopped him from having this unrealistic idea.
"Alas." Hashimoto Maya sighed sadly and thought seriously:
"We were able to hide for so many days without any problems, which shows that Wuzo probably hasn't discovered our location yet. We suddenly went to the island overnight, and our whereabouts were even more difficult to control.
"So Jiang Xia's appearance on the island was probably just a coincidence. And Wu Zuo was coming for Jiang Xia, which has nothing to do with me who happened to be nearby. As long as I hide well and don't get exposed, we will at most be involved in an ordinary murder case... Stay calm! It's not time to despair yet."
only……
The image of Curacao suddenly flashed through Hashimoto Maya's mind.
It's normal that Curacao prohibits silencing, because as long as you have a certain understanding of Uzo, you will know that it is best not to kill when he is watching... But silencing is fine, why didn't the silver-haired female cadre let them find a chance to leave the island, but instead let Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro take the initiative to send them off?
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya gradually felt that something was wrong. Her eyes became alert and she decided to keep an eye on the movements outside from a distance at all times.
…
At the same time, on the other side far away.
After ending the call, Curacao remained sitting at the table, staring down at his phone for a long time.
Curacao: "..." It was obvious that they changed their hiding place in order to guard against Uzo. The isolated island was uninhabited and should have been more hidden and safer, but now... why did things turn out like this?
No one would know how much of a blow the short sentence "Someone has come to the island, and that high school detective is among them!" had caused to her mood and self-confidence.
After sitting there for a long time, Curacao suddenly thought of something.
She recalled the island mentioned by her two subordinates and searched for all relevant information she could find.
After a moment, Curacao let out a breath and felt relieved.
The information showed that the island actually belonged to the Suzuki family.
More specifically, it is currently the property of the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, Suzuki Ayako.
If this is the case, it can explain why Wu Zuo set his sights on that island - it was not because that person was so terrifying that he was omniscient and could predict all her actions, but simply because the two subordinates were too stupid, or too unlucky, and they actually ran into Wu Zuo's intelligence network.
"Suzuki Ayako seems to have always been interested in those secluded buildings. She owns quite a few similar properties, and buying and selling them is common. And Suzuki Sonoko is a classmate who has a good relationship with Usa. Usa must have learned about the movements of those two guys through them."
Curacao quickly summed up his mistakes in his mind: "I was not careful enough. I didn't realize in advance that Kurosawa Kazuma's father was showing the island to the Suzuki family. It seems that I have to try to avoid this factor in the future. But the Suzuki family has too many businesses..."
When Curacao thought about his future workload, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
"By the way, has the Suzuki family been infiltrated by him to this extent? Fortunately, the only ones who have the most contact with Uzo are their two daughters who haven't taken over much of the business. But if this progress continues, those people of the previous generation who really hold real power may gradually be brought under Uzo's control. If there really comes a day like that..."
Curacao pressed her forehead. Never before had she wanted to retire as much as she did now, and stay away from these disputes that had nothing to do with her.
However, no matter what, after knowing clearly the reason why Uzo discovered those people, Curacao's heart was finally not as heavy as when he first received the call.
The most terrifying thing is the incomprehensible things, and at least in this case, everything seems to have a traceable path. It is better to be stupid and let the other party find the loophole than to have no idea where the mistake came from.
After reviewing the situation for a while, Curacao finally calmed down. She tried to put aside the matter that she had no idea how to deal with and began to concentrate on her work.
…
Taro Izuka and Kazuma Kurosawa had no idea what their two colleagues were worried about.
As two peripheral members who were used to following their superiors’ orders, they could complete the task of killing people even if they were given the task of silencing them. Moreover, they were only “pretending to be island watchers”. Compared with other tasks, this task was actually easy.
The island was not particularly big, and the two quickly arrived at the dock.
They helped several students carry their luggage like enthusiastic workers.
At the same time, Kurosawa Kazuma tried to smile and introduced himself: "Hello, students. My name is Kurosawa Kazuma, and this is my colleague Izuka Taro. We are the island watchers here. If you need anything in the next few days, you can come to me. Don't be shy."
The students obviously didn't have much interest in the two unprepossessing island visitors. They simply nodded and greeted them, then began to concentrate on appreciating the scenery on the island.
On the contrary, when the famous detective heard their names, he was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at them carefully.
Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro were not comfortable being looked at by Jiang Xia. After all, they were also outlaws, and they were naturally incompatible with detectives.
But on second thought, this island can be considered a lawless place, which is a huge benefit to the two of them.
Although the mysterious superior asked them to treat the people on this ship as guests, it would be normal for them to silence them as an emergency measure if they really faced the crisis of their identities being exposed.
Thinking of this, the two of them suddenly felt confident, became calm under Jiang Xia's gaze, and straightened their backs again.
Jiang Xia did not make things difficult for them or look at them sharply as they had imagined.
This famous detective was much friendlier than expected. He actually dropped his luggage, took out two business cards, and walked over here.
