Chapter 1856-1864 [Little Vodka·Final]
Two minutes ago.
"Jiro is gone too." Curacao propped up his forehead and sighed silently. "Uzo did it on purpose. He even chased after someone so far away in the suburbs of Tokyo... What on earth attracted him to Hashimoto Maya? Was it the pleasure of snatching other people's subordinates that made Uzo unable to stop, or was it that the more he couldn't get it, the more he wanted it, and he thought he was free anyway, so he came here to kill a few people for fun?"
in addition……
"There is one less guard. We need to find a suitable person to fill the position as soon as possible." Curacao kept going through various information about her subordinates in her mind. At the same time, this time, she did not email or call Rum to report. She just wrote this little accident into the report. Anyway, based on the previous experience, even if she told him, it would probably be the same as last time. Rum would think that this was just a small matter and would not want to let the person go. He would also think that she was contaminated by Uzo and that it was a thankless task.
"But who should I choose? And if Rum keeps refusing to release them, will I keep losing my men?" Curacao started to have a headache when he thought about it. "Although only some peripheral members died, they were capable and kept secrets well. There aren't that many of them. But he's killing one every two or three days... Will I still have anyone available in a few months?"
After thinking about it this way, Curacao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the resources under her control. Her boss didn't understand her hardship, and only she knew how troublesome this chronic loss was.
"Although I have already prepared myself for the loss of manpower, but...ah, next time I'd better not look for someone like Jiro, and replace him with someone less useful." Curacao closed his eyes and briefly recalled his list.
Then a name suddenly popped into my mind.
——Izuka Saburo.
Curacao didn't have a deep impression of this person, but she remembered that Saburo Inozuka had never thought about joining the organization at first. But once the two eldest brothers of the Inozuka family were on a mission, they were caught by Saburo Inozuka.
In order not to silence this unlucky brother, the two had to recruit him on the spot. After joining the gang, Izuka Saburo did not accomplish anything big, just did some small illegal errands to express his loyalty to the organization.
"I'm really sorry, but it's you who will be my choice, and you are indeed the most suitable candidate." Curacao edited an email on his phone, his brows lowered and his eyes darkened, like a sinister and cunning cold-blooded villain. "If you can survive this time, I will definitely give you a bright future."
…
When Kurosawa Kazuma was communicating with his boss who was gradually turning evil.
With permission, Hashimoto Maya went alone to the place where Izuka Jiro had made an appointment with her without her permission, to meet Jiang Xia.
The righteous detective stood under the tree with his hands in his pockets. The first thing he said when he turned around and saw him was, "Mr. George has been unlucky lately. He just returned to Japan not long ago and he has encountered so many cases in succession."
Hashimoto Maya: “Hmm…”… Although it seems to be true, if I remember correctly, the cases you encountered after you came back were only four or five times as many as mine. Do detectives really have no idea about the cases they have experienced?
He hesitated briefly between "complaining" and "not complaining".
Before I could think it through, I suddenly heard the high school student opposite me say, "Your real name is 'Hashimoto Maya'? That's not the same as what's on your ID."
"?!" Hashimoto Maya blurted out, "Where did you hear this name?"
Jiang Xia looked at him in confusion: "Isn't this the signature you left in the email?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Hiss, now that you mention it, that kid Jiro Izuka did touch his personal belongings under the pretext of checking, and he must have seen the ID card from there. Could it be that he was the one who slipped the note in as well?
...Anyway, the murderer's shot was not wrong! Fortunately, Zhuzhong was beyond saving, otherwise, if he sold his information like this, he would definitely find time to make this leaky guy shut up forever.
Jiang Xia saw a wisp of ice black tea emerging, then quickly harvested itself and slowly floated to the ground.
Then he was picked up by the hardworking Mist Tengu and brought back to Jiang Xia.
Hashimoto Maya came back to his senses and keenly noticed Jiang Xia's gaze. He lowered his head to look at his clothes: "What's wrong? Is there something stuck on me?"
Jiang Xia: "No." It just got a little bit of my murderous aura. It's not a big deal, it's already fallen off.
"Oh." Hashimoto Maya used these few seconds to make up an excuse, trying to brush off the fake certificate. "Actually, I changed my name before. Now I basically use the name 'George' in the UK, and I use Hashimoto Maya when I return to China. It doesn't matter which name you are used to."
"Is that so?" Jiang Xia glanced at him and did not ask for details. Instead, he asked, "What's the matter with you calling me here?"
Seeing how cooperative he was, Hashimoto Maya secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, as long as it is not a murder case or an explosion that could endanger other people's lives, the detective doesn't seem to dig too deep into the matter.
While the kind detective didn't ask any more questions, he quickly picked something that Jiang Xia was interested in and said, "Nothing. My friend and I were recuperating here when we suddenly encountered a murder case. I was really panicked. After all, we didn't go out and contact the police immediately. I was worried that I would become a suspect, so I couldn't help but want to find you to confirm the situation - but just now I saw a police car taking someone away. Has the case been closed?"
Jiang Xia really didn't mind talking about the case, but he frowned slightly as if he had thought of something: "...I guess so."
Hashimoto Maya was startled, feeling something was wrong: "Is it?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xia nodded, and suddenly looked around, as if to confirm whether there was anyone eavesdropping nearby.
It looked like he was going to tell her something big... Maya Hashimoto suddenly thought of a possibility, and the railroad tracks in her heart began to clatter again, with alarm bells ringing in her heart.
However, it was too late to be alert now. Soon, Jiang Xia's low voice reached his ears: "Do you remember what you said to me when we first met? You, or your friend, have been in some serious accidents recently, or frequently involved in murder cases, facing some life-threatening situations. And both the police and the people around you told you that these were just accidents."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Could it be that Jiang Xia has found out about Uzo? No! I don't want to get involved in the fight between your two old enemies. Don't you know how many people around you have died because of this?
Although her expression did change, fortunately, those subtle fears were still appropriate at the moment. Hashimoto Maya could only bite the bullet and play the role of an innocent citizen persecuted by the mastermind: "Did you find out something?"
