Chapter 1916 1924 [Where are the Rum people? ] Ask for monthly tickets (`)
On the other hand, tonight was also a sleepless night for Maya Hashimoto and Saburo Izuka.
Saburo Izuka holds a photo of his idol, mourning his lost youth.
Hashimoto Maya leaned against the window, feeling that he had survived another case. At this time, looking at the deep well in the yard, he suddenly remembered something.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Previously, when they were on the deserted island, Izuka Taro wanted to find something in the theater to hit Jiang Xia to death, disguising it as an "accident". However, Jiang Xia did not die, but Izuka Taro was hit on the head by the murderer first and died on the spot.
Afterwards, Jiro Inozuka wanted to avenge his brother, and still pointed his spearhead at Jiang Xia, intending to turn this unlucky detective into a murderer and ruin his reputation...Then Jiro Inozuka was shot to death by his subordinates who he had trained for many years, with the identity of the "mastermind". In the end, it was Jiang Xia who helped him clear this unjust accusation.
There is also Kurosawa Kazuma. As far as I can remember, when they were on the deserted island, Kurosawa Kazuma wanted to do something to the second victim's hanging scene, causing Jiang Xia to break his neck and die. As a result, Jiang Xia is still fine, only Kurosawa Kazuma was hit by a crossbow and hospitalized, and was unfortunately hanged in the bathroom by the murderer to silence him.
...Why did all the people who targeted Jiangxia die?
And their deaths were so dramatic, so appropriate, and so fitting to the topic, as if they were tailor-made for them.
I heard that Wu Zuo was a vengeful person. And every time I knew about a case related to Wu Zuo, Jiang Xia was nearby. Could it be that these two seemingly unrelated people were actually the same person...
Hashimoto Maya: “…” No, no, no, impossible!
Ahahaha, I am really too tired! I actually picked up this boring hypothesis that I have eliminated countless times and thought about it again and again... It is better to pray a few times than to make up stories here.
Perhaps his expression at that moment was too complex. Izuka Saburo, who was quietly mourning his idol nearby, couldn't help but look over here.
"What are you thinking about?" Izuka Saburo initially thought that this guy under guard was unfathomable, but now he was very suspicious of Hashimoto Maya's mental state. "Didn't I tell you that 'that thing' is a curly-haired man wearing a black suit and sunglasses? Don't make random guesses."
Hashimoto Maya said solemnly: "But don't forget, although that man's aura is terrifying, he looks only in his early twenties. Whether it is the previous silver coin case or today's case, the time span is too long ago and does not match his age at all. This must be a trick of that thing. The curly-haired man may just be one of his subordinates."
As he spoke, he fell silent again: "..." If a subordinate looks so scary, what does he look like?
Izuka Saburo: "Who else could it be if not him? You are not still doubting Torimaru Naoko."
"It's very possible." Hashimoto Maya took a deep breath and suddenly an idea popped up in her mind, "Torimaru Naoko is actually very beautiful. Maybe she and the curly-haired man in black are in love with each other and form a team like the male and female thieves. If you think about it carefully, Uzo can cause murders almost anywhere he wants. The amount of work required for such advance preparation is simply not something that one person can handle."
Izuka Saburo: “…” Crazy, this guy is crazy.
But it seems that he is not completely crazy - judging from the expression of Maya Hashimoto, even he himself does not believe the nonsense he said. He probably just wants to say something good for good luck.
but……
Izuka Saburo scratched his head: "You don't want 'that thing' to be too powerful, so you keep forcing yourself to think this way - but if he is actually two people, isn't that more terrifying than fighting alone?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
Hashimoto Maya: “!!”
…
Jiang Xia was concentrating on studying the newly acquired cold noodles, and temporarily forgot about the new little brother that was about to go bad.
It was not until the next morning, when everyone was preparing to set off back to Tokyo, that Jiang Xia accidentally glanced at the can of extremely haggard iced black tea and realized the problem belatedly.
He walked over and said worriedly, "Mr. Hashimoto, I don't know if you've noticed that you seem to be involved in various incidents recently, and you're often mistaken for a murderer."
Hashimoto Maya had a blank look on her face: “…” She discovered it, how could she not have discovered it.
He turned his head and glanced at Izuka Saburo, who was far from the word "reliable", and suddenly realized that this time, Curacao did not send anyone over, and obviously did not care about taking care of him.
And every time, Wuzo could find his whereabouts accurately... Could it be that Curacao and Wuzo were actually in the same group? And it seemed that Curacao was very cooperative with Wuzo's actions.
Being targeted by one cadre was already a fatal thing. And now he was being murdered by two cadres...
Hashimoto Maya touched the cross on her chest and looked at Jiang Xia, revealing a pale smile that looked like she would ascend to heaven in the next second: "Yes, I have been unlucky recently. Maybe this is the last time we meet."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
He didn't do anything, he just took Conan to pick up some murderous aura near Hashimoto Maya. Before, he was considerate and escorted his younger brother all the way to the police station. The whole organization couldn't find a second boss more considerate than him even with flashlights... How come Hashimoto Maya's desire to survive suddenly dropped so low?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xia understood: it was all because of Rum's delay. He had been working for Ireland all this time, and it was useless to become so exhausted. He would be fine when he came under his command.
...So when will the money arrive in his account for his poor little brother?
Jiang Xia felt that he couldn't wait any longer: if he returned to Tokyo and there was still no progress, he might as well go directly to Rum to ask about the situation.
Jiang Xia: "..." Although Rum's whereabouts are a mystery, this second-in-command seems to have a hobby of making sushi. When the time comes, take Conan to various sushi restaurants, maybe there will be a sudden wonderful encounter?
If he really couldn't find him, he could ask Noah. Although the organization seemed to have hidden a lot of tricks, and the information of the top leaders and second-in-command was not as easy to browse as he imagined, if Rum took the initiative to go to a place with many cameras, he would be able to find him smoothly.
Of course, the iced black tea in front of me cannot be left alone. I have experienced a lot of summer recently, and ghosts like this taste very much, and they consume a lot of it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked in confusion: "Why are you suddenly saying something so negative? Are you being threatened?"
After a pause, he seemed to remember something and lowered his voice a little, "Is it the 'that person' you mentioned before?"
