Chapter 1814-1821 [Little Vodka's Murder]
Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro looked at each other and realized that if Jiang Xia really suspected them, then things had undoubtedly become very bad.
In my impression, detectives are troublesome and unreasonable creatures. Once you are included in their field of vision, there may be a tail behind you at any time. If you reveal a flaw during a mission, you will be killed. There are precedents of people being silenced in the organization for this reason.
Of course, just as there are unlucky people who have been tricked by detectives, there are also naturally some successful cases where the detectives were discovered, tracked down, and killed in time.
Compared with the former, any member of an organization would choose the latter and take preemptive action before danger strikes.
"Even if we escape this time, what if we meet him again in Tokyo, or he tracks us down?" Kurosawa Hema frowned. "I heard that this detective doesn't go to school at all. He just wanders around Tokyo every day. Tokyo is so small..."
As a target of Jiang Xia's close attention, Taro Izuka has a stronger sense of crisis than his companions.
He suddenly frowned and thought of a plan: "It's too risky to silence someone in the city. We could be photographed by surveillance cameras, paparazzi or even ordinary passers-by at any time. But it's different on this island."
"It's a deserted island, it's the sea, it's a large prop in a theater, and there seems to be an unreasonable killer hiding in the dark... The fatal factors are very dense, and there is nothing more reasonable than an 'accidental death' here!"
The more Izuka Taro spoke, the more he felt that he had the right time, right place, and right people on his side: "Besides, compared to usual times, there is now a ready-made scapegoat here - a serial killer can kill as many people as he wants, but with a famous detective in the middle, maybe the murderer will feel very proud, and even if the truth is revealed in the future, he will take the blame."
Kurosawa and Ma were gradually tempted, but still had some reservations: "But our superior asked us to be good 'island watchers'..."
Izuka Taro patted his shoulder and said, "The telephone line is broken. We can't ask the superior for instructions now. Of course, we can only do everything freely. Besides, the superior said 'be a good islander', which means that we should hide our identities.
"Now that there is a risk of my identity being exposed, I must immediately eliminate this hidden danger. This is the way to truly implement the order, rather than passively and rigidly coping with the task. I believe that even if I ask him now, he will definitely issue such a request to silence me."
It is well-reasoned and in line with the organization's consistent style.
Kurosawa and Ma thought about the days of being watched by detectives and being tied up and worried, and then thought about the joy of silencing them, and finally made up their minds: "Okay, let's do it."
The two men clapped their hands together, their eyes determined.
Then they get together to discuss how to kill a detective with low risk.
"Two people just died. Now is the time when they are most alert. It is difficult to take advantage of them." Kurosawa and Ma thought, "But detectives all have the same weakness - they are too eager to learn. In order to collect evidence and catch the murderer, they dare to run to various dangerous places alone, and once they concentrate their energy, they will not pay attention to their surroundings. We can start from this point."
Izuka Taro thought for a moment and said, "Besides the chandelier, there should be a lot of other props on top of the stage. Whether it's a broken beam or other lights, if they fall from that height and hit someone in the head, it's enough to kill them. I'll go see if there's anything I can use in the prop room. If it works, I'll pretend there's a clue there and trick Jiang Xia over to smash it."
"Okay." Kurosawa and Ma also thought of this, "But the first victim was killed by a chandelier that fell from above. Even if Jiang Xia went there, he might pay extra attention to the top of his head, and maybe even scan upwards with a flashlight, trying to find clues.
"With the detective's observation ability, if he finds something wrong, we will be in great danger. Not to mention putting all the blame on the murderer, I'm afraid we will have to take the blame for the murderer. So we'd better prepare a second killer move and quickly follow it up in case it fails, leaving him no room to react."
At this point, Kurosawa and Ma already had a plan in mind: "Near the place where the girl was hanged this morning, there is a very steep slope. The bottom collapsed and some rocks were exposed. It's a good place to slip and break your neck."
After all, they were peripheral elites who had been robbing and silencing people for many years. The two of them quickly found a way to kill. They looked at each other and revealed the gloomy smiles unique to their organization.
Now that we have Plan A and Plan B, we need a foolproof Plan C.
Taro Izuka was confident: "If neither method works, we still have the sea to back us up. Then we will do as we said at the beginning, drown him and throw him into the sea. It happened that the yacht's cable was cut, and the detective ran over to look for clues out of curiosity, then slipped and fell into the sea and died accidentally. If we're lucky, we may not even find the body!"
The two have been partners for many years and have a skilled division of labor.
After finalizing the plan, they quickly sneaked out of the house under the cover of night and began to prepare for this series of killing moves.
…
In the old hotel.
Jiang Xia sat by the window, holding his chin and looking out at the dark night. Needless to say, everyone in the room could see that he was thinking seriously about something.
It was rare for Jiang Xia to think for such a long time. As everyone knows, this detective's reasoning was very quick. He would only think for a second or two when he saw the physical evidence, and then when all the evidence was gathered, he would spit out the answer without any thought process.
And like now...
Suzuki Sonoko came close to Jiang Xia and asked curiously, "Is this case difficult?"
In the distant corner, Vermouth glanced over silently.
She had also noticed Wu Zo's abnormality a long time ago, but she had no intention of asking, and she didn't even want to get close to him - people who knew Wu Zo must know that when this person was thinking seriously, what good things could come to his mind?
It will definitely be a bloody stage with lots of killings.
Maybe there are ghosts floating around up there.
Vermouth: “…” If this child had not been born into the organization, he might have been a famous horror film screenwriter.
Unfortunately, the organization's style of disregarding human life invisibly opened another door for him, telling Uzo that as long as he made good use of the human resources around him, horror movies could also happen in reality.
So every time she sees a member of the organization suspected of being killed, Vermouth feels complicated: shooting oneself in the foot, this may be how she describes this kind of cause and effect.
The other side.
The naive students were still chatting casually, and had no idea what kind of messed up and bloody things were going on in the mind of this organization cadre.
Jiang Xia heard Suzuki Sonoko's voice and looked away from the window.
