Chapter 18211828 [Little Brother’s Perpetual Motion Machine]
When Maya Hashimoto heard "Edward", she immediately realized that Jiang Xia was asking about Ireland.
He glanced at the dark island around him and said in a normal voice, "He was also on the plane. We would evoke each other's painful memories, so we haven't been in touch since we got off the plane."
...If Wuzo is really paying attention to this island, I hope he can hear this sentence and then find the right person to look for, and stop bothering me, an ordinary peripheral member who is recuperating.
Jiang Xia didn't seem to pay any extra attention to Ireland. He just remembered that they were companions so he asked casually.
After hearing this answer, he did not ask any more questions, but like a detective who was good at pursuing details, his thoughts quickly jumped to another place.
He seemed to be thinking: "Come to think of it, you speak Japanese much more fluently than before." He still remembered that a while ago on the plane, Hashimoto Maya pretended to be a foreigner and came to talk to him.
Maya Hashimoto was very tired, but being questioned by a detective who was willing to be reasonable was better than hiding in a corner and being searched out as a murderer.
He had no choice but to continue writing quickly: "In fact, my Japanese has always been pretty good, but during that time I was in the UK, my accent was taken away by the environment. Now that I've been back for a while, I've adapted again."
Jiang Xia couldn't help but look back at the cup of iced black tea and touched his chin: He made up excuses quickly and they sounded reasonable... He is worthy of being the younger brother he has chosen.
Unfortunately, perhaps because she no longer had a cadre to back her up, Maya Hashimoto's murderous aura was not as strong as it was last time on the plane, and it only bubbled up occasionally.
Jiang Xia: “…” I really want to give him a surprise right now and tell him that he will soon join other cadres, and that cadre is much more reliable than Ireland.
It was a pity that it was a bit hasty to directly expose Wu Zuo's identity to a new member. And it would be embarrassing to let Wu Zuo stay quietly on the island for so many days for a subordinate.
...Let's just pray that the organization can be more efficient and send people here sooner.
Jiang Xia: "..." But think about it the other way around. As long as Hashimoto Maya is under the organization's surveillance, there will always be two members of the organization guarding him. If there is no more, there will be more.
According to experience, people named "Taro" often have brothers named "Jiro", "Saburo", "Sishiro", "Sishiro"... I wonder if there are any brave brothers behind the dead "Izuka Taro" who are willing to avenge him?
Jiang Xia was briefly confused.
Next to him, Conan couldn't help but look up at him, suspecting that this neighbor had found a major flaw in "Mr. George": "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and shook his head: "I am sorting out the clues so far."
He remembered something and looked at Kurosawa Hema: "By the way, since you are both island watchers, do you have any idea where Mr. Inozuka was killed?"
Kurosawa Kazuma: “…” Judging from the time, he was killed when he was about to kill you in the theater.
...It's a pity that I can't say this.
He had no choice but to change his words silently: "I don't know. We are worried that the man is still on the island, so we agreed to search various places." After a pause, he said, "Izuka is in charge of searching the theater and the hotel. We may find clues there."
There were two strange pauses between the words, which made Hashimoto Maya vaguely aware of something.
As Jiang Xia continued to walk forward, he couldn't help but approach Kurosawa and Ma and asked quietly, "Are you really kind enough to help them catch the murderer? I wonder if Zhuzuka is targeting that detective."
Kurosawa Hema snorted coldly, seemingly agreeing.
Hashimoto Maya showed sympathy: "..." I told you not to kill, but you didn't listen. Look, one of you is dead.
But this actually made him feel relieved: Taro Izuka was killed because he wanted to attack.
On the other hand, his defense against Wuzo was not a problem. As long as he did not actively seek death and had a certain level of skills to deal with the danger, as long as Wuzo did not come in person, his chances of survival would definitely be much more optimistic than he imagined.
…
As Hashimoto Maya calmed down, Jiang Xia in front paused slightly.
——The production of iced black tea, which was already scarce, suddenly became even less.
Jiang Xia: “…”
How can he start slacking off before even taking office?
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and came up with an idea: after recruiting Hashimoto Maya, he would send him to assassinate Jiang Xia. Then he would disguise the recruited Akai Shuichi as Okiya Subaru and leave him nearby as a bodyguard.
With two people emitting murderous aura towards each other like this, according to Shuichi Akai's wonderful characteristic of "emitting the same murderous aura as whoever you focus your attention on", they will definitely be able to harvest a large amount of refreshing murderous aura in a short period of time.
Jiang Xia: “…”Well…so where is Akai Shuichi?
It's been so many days since Subaru Okiya was released, but he still hasn't caught the target. The cunning FBI is too patient.
…
I am still feeling resentful that the two new models have not yet arrived.
The four returned to the old hotel.
It was getting late, and going out to search at this time would make it easy to be ambushed and difficult to find the target, so they all went to rest.
The next morning, the rain stopped, and Jiang Xia began to visit various crime scenes to collect clues so that he could quickly close the case after meeting the police and move on to the next encounter.
As soon as he walked out the door, Hashimoto Maya followed him: "I'll go help you too!"
As we all know, the probability of a murder happening under the detective's nose is slightly lower. Even if he accidentally misses the spot for a short while, with his skills, he should be able to deal with it for a short time.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” More importantly, if the murderer kills someone again later, this will also help clear myself of suspicion.
As soon as he went out, he suddenly found that there was someone else around him, Kurosawa and Ma also came.
Hashimoto Maya was a little surprised. Could it be that this person also knew that Uzo was behind the matter, so he planned to take refuge with him near Jiangxia?
Hashimoto Maya: "Why are you here?"
Kurosawa Hema looked at him as if he was a fool and whispered, "I am the one who is responsible for watching over you."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” He really forgot.
Even the threat from the organization seemed less acute in the face of the threat posed by Uzo.
…
The two followed Jiang Xia all the way to the theater.
The stage of the theater was still in a mess. A huge chandelier with a diameter of several meters fell on the stage, crushing the body below. The surrounding area was in a mess, all of which were fragments of the chandelier that fell when it fell.
Jiang Xia and Conan went on stage, but Kurosawa and Ma did not come near.
He turned to look at Hashimoto Maya and said, "You killed this man, didn't you?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…” How on earth do I look like a murderer? Can’t I just change it?
