Chapter 1892 1900 [Sacrifice my teammates]
Hashimoto Maya pondered: "But this level of control seems to be different from those other unlucky high school students. Suzuki Sonoko actually has the right to read the script in advance..."
It's really hard to carry such a heavy burden alone.
So Maya Hashimoto found an excuse to call Saburo Izuka out and told him the parts that she could tell.
Kurosawa Kazuma in the room looked at their backs as they left: "?" There have been four caretakers, and in the end, Hashimoto Maya was the one who could talk best with the dumbest Izuka Saburo?
...Wait, why did he say last?
Is it because the Izuka family only has three sons, so they subconsciously feel that there is no one to succeed them?
Kurosawa Kazuma fell into deep thought for a moment.
…
In the corridor separated by a wall.
Hashimoto Maya and Izuka Saburo were also in deep thought.
After listening to Hashimoto Maya's long and evasive words, Saburo Izuka scratched his head and said, "Just because that high school girl said 'there is a murder here', you think so much?"...Are you senior members always so idle?
Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Hashimoto Maya found it strange: "You clearly know the truth behind these cases, how dare you not think about it?"
When Izuka Saburo heard his slightly changed tone, he immediately became alert. He didn't dare to refute him blindly, so he had to say in a tactful tone:
"We've come this far, you can't assume that just because there's a case and a detective it must be 'that thing'.
"As for why that high school girl said that, if we think optimistically, maybe it was just a slip of the tongue - that girl looked carefree, and she had often appeared next to Jiang Xia in the past, and had witnessed many murders with Jiang Xia. Suddenly seeing a wall of bloody words in the prop room, it was normal for her to think it was a lie.
"On the other hand, if this was really a case designed by 'that thing', there wouldn't be such an obvious mistake - to be honest, I had already prepared for the worst-case scenario and even wrote a suicide note, but now I feel that this should have been just a simple accident!"
Seeing that Hashimoto Maya was a little hesitant and seemed to be convinced by him, Izuka Saburo continued to work. He moved closer and lowered his voice to a very low level: "Let's take a step back. Even if that thing really came, didn't our plan B work? The bloody words appeared in the prop room of the troupe, and the person Red Beard specifically wanted to kill was also a member of the crew. What's more, there was a qualifier like 'the climax of the play', so the person who died must be one of the actors performing on stage, and it has nothing to do with us temporary workers."
"...Indeed." Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but glance at Izuka Saburo: this guy usually looks stupid, but he has a lot of analysis when it comes to these things, and there's a hint of intelligence hidden in his cunningness - thinking this way, even if Usa really has had enough of the troupe, Izuka Saburo might be enough for him to play with for a while.
……Um?
Speaking of this, Hashimoto Maya suddenly noticed something.
If you take a closer look, you will see Saburo Izuka's burly figure, his broad and square chin that almost looks like an overbite, and the sunglasses he always wears - doesn't this guy look a bit like the guy next to Gin, codenamed "Vodka"?
Ireland had unilaterally made enemies with Gin and Uzo, and had been investigating the news about these two bottles of wine for some time. Hashimoto Maya, as his former right-hand man, also helped Ireland a lot. Therefore, although he did not collect much useful information, he at least knew what the two cadres looked like.
This thought flashed through Hashimoto Maya's mind, and she felt that the more she looked at it, the more similar it was. An idea suddenly popped up in her mind - maybe Usa was chasing the three guards he was with and killing them indiscriminately, not because of his innocent confidant, but because he had to send Saburo to the Izuka family because they had to kill him?
Izuka Saburo suddenly pushed up his sunglasses and said with a hint of alertness: "What do you want to do?!"
Hashimoto Maya: “…” At the critical moment, this kid was so sensitive to other people’s emotional changes, it seemed like he could live for a long time… Good, my sense of security suddenly came up.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about that person's purpose." Hashimoto Maya waved her hand, "You make sense, that thing may not be targeting us."... At least not me.
He suppressed his conscience and continued as if nothing had happened: "Go back to the room. It's dangerous to stay outside all the time."
After taking two steps, Hashimoto Maya suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, you seemed to have said that you wrote a suicide note?"
Izuka Saburo: "Ah, yes. What's the matter? You want to write it too?"
"Delete it." Hashimoto Maya waved her hand tiredly. "If you are not dead, of course you have no use for a suicide note. If you are dead, then the person who received your suicide note has a chance to be killed by the organization. Even if you didn't write anything confidential, as long as the letter is sent out, there will be people with paranoia and doubt."
Saburo Izuka: “…” Mr. Hashimoto is indeed a senior member who has been working in the organization for many years. His strange experience… is very rich.
When useful knowledge is added, I will go back and delete it.
At the same time, in front of Saburo Izuka.
Hashimoto Maya secretly glanced in the reflection of the hanging lamp in the corridor, and when he saw that Izuka Saburo believed it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Of course he could write a suicide note. To be honest, he had already prepared one. But compared to the reckless Izuka Saburo, his suicide note was more standardized - he made a list of his enemies in his mind, and arranged them to die together, number one, two, and three.
Who to send to, how to send, how much content to send...all these require skills.
This technique certainly cannot be taught openly, so Hashimoto Maya simply interrupted Izuka Saburo's act of writing a suicide note, to prevent this temporary accomplice from causing any trouble and making the already troublesome situation even more chaotic.
…
While the sinister younger brother was plotting against the poor only son of the Inozuka family.
On the other side, in the room where the troupe had just rehearsed.
Another sinister younger brother who belonged to the troupe was also secretly speaking ill of the troupe leader to Jiang Xia.
——Perhaps it was because Suzuki Sonoko’s counterattack just now seemed too heroic in the troupe with clear class divisions. After the female leader and Fumizuki Karen left one after another, an actress in kimono walked up to them in small steps like a ghost.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Seeing this, the actress thought it was a sign of willingness to communicate, so she moved to Jiang Xia's side in a good mood and confided in him in a chatty manner:
"Hualien just lied. The fact that Captain Bandai was so angry had nothing to do with 'being nervous before going on stage' - she was just too concerned about her wrinkled face."
The woman's voice was sweet and childish, but it contained a hint of hatred and sarcasm: "Usually she wears heavy makeup on stage, so the audience can't tell. But just now those three temporary workers actually took a picture of the Bandai leader's bare face. Plus, you kept praising the young and beautiful Hualien, so things turned out like that."
