Chapter 1938-1946 [Shitty Boss]
Rum: "..." In that case, why not start training Bourbon from now on and enhance his skills in this area.
This way, when he officially transfers Uzo here in the future, perhaps this can become a valid reason for the transfer.
…
The other side.
Toru Amuro walked a distance and looked back at the dining car from a distance. He couldn't help but frowned suspiciously, feeling surprised at the refreshing taste of rum.
"I thought he would ask me a few questions or give me some reminders to prevent me from acting on my own after I am out of sight and accidentally interfering with his mission, but he didn't say anything?"
Amuro Toru thought to himself, "What on earth is he doing here? Does he believe that whatever I do won't interfere with his purpose today? - It's impossible that he is really here to attend the food party."
The failure of the test made Amuro Toru a little confused. At the same time, he couldn't help wondering if Rum had noticed something, so he deliberately didn't reveal any information, so that he would reveal his flaws in his anxiety. In his impression, this boss was very suspicious and never stopped doubting him.
"In that case, I'd better not continue to test it for now." Amuro Toru decided to be safe. It's the key to being an undercover agent to stop when it's time to stop.
As for now...
"Since we're out now, why not go check on Jiang Xia?" Amuro Toru thought of the strange woman just now, and Jiang Xia who had become strange as a result. "There are too many citizens coming and going here. It would be bad if something serious happened. Besides, Jiang Xia looks a little strange. This case is different from the usual cases. There seems to be another hidden story behind it."
As Toru Amuro thought about this, he reviewed the hidden routes and locations around him, guessing where Jiang Xia was going.
…
Jiang Xia looked at the small note he received when he sold the lunch box just now.
The texture of this paper is unique, and it is exactly the same as the anonymous letter received in the detective agency not long ago. For the observant detective, this is equivalent to shouting with a loud speaker: the two letters are from the same person, and there must be something hidden behind this.
So as a famous detective who is easily tempted by curiosity, Jiang Xia of course came to the appointment immediately.
There is a small park near the food court, separated from the square by only a low fence - this is the place where the sender asked him to meet.
This small park usually doesn't have many people, and now that there's a lively event going on at the food court, there are suddenly even fewer people here.
When Jiang Xia arrived, he saw a clean bench. He waited for a while but no one showed up, so he just sat down, showing his extreme patience and not leaving until someone showed up.
…
Hard work pays off.
Not long after, amid the rustling sound of leaves in the wind, Jiang Xia smelled the aroma of... fried eggs from the woods behind him.
The noisy movement could cover up the sound of footsteps, but it could not cover up the approaching fried egg.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Come to think of it, Naoko Torimaru's murderous aura before clearly did not have this unique scent.
But after she successfully escaped from prison, survived Izuka Saburo's pursuit, and joined the organization, her murderous intent changed qualitatively.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but fall into deep thought: I don't know which of these three things caused the root cause of the qualitative change.
If it's because of joining the organization, then that organization is too amazing, it's simply a murderous scent.
However, if you think about it carefully, some members of the organization have very ordinary murderous aura, which may be related to their own qualities.
While Jiang Xia was thinking about whether he could get a few people in, he was also paying attention to the movements behind him.
He resisted the urge to look back and pretended he hadn't noticed anything.
At this moment, an anesthetic needle flew from behind, pierced through the clothes on his back, and then silently... pierced into a layer of puppet clay.
"..." Jiang Xia didn't know what specific effect this anesthetic needle collected by Naoko Torimaru would have.
I wanted to imitate Conan's needle and fall asleep directly, but then I thought, that would be too boring.
But if I continue to jump around, Naoko Torimaru might be scared and turn around and run away.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia decided to compromise.
He yawned, as if he was very sleepy. "Who?"
When Naoko Torimaru saw that the needle had indeed penetrated the body and saw that Jiang Xia's movements had slowed down, she approached with doubt.
Then he mustered up his courage, reached out and snatched away his baton.
——After all, she was planning to kidnap a famous detective, so Naoko Torimaru did some research beforehand. Specifically, she carefully checked many cases related to Jiang Xia.
Although the media did not release some violent scenes, Torimaru Naoko is not too stupid after all. Combining the course of the case and the comparison of the criminal's state before and after, plus the occasional outline of Jiang Xia's pocket...
It is actually very easy to guess how those prisoners went from being arrogant to being shabby.
Naoko Torimaru had seen too many changes like this and felt somewhat uneasy, so she chose to surrender immediately - the photos of the criminals were painful to look at, and even if she died, she definitely did not want to be stepped on the ground, kicked around, and then beaten into a pig's head, and follow in their footsteps.
On the way here, the corresponding steps have already taken shape in her mind.
Torimaru Naoko approached from behind, threw the anesthetic needle, and disarmed him in one go. She then took out an empty gun, put it against Jiang Xia's head, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Don't move."
Jiang Xia clearly didn't turn his head once, but he knew who she was. He asked calmly, "I didn't expect you to come back to find me on your own initiative. Where have you been hiding during these days of running away? Where is my schoolmate from the same school?"
Naoko Torimaru was holding the gun in her hand, and should have been in a strong position as the kidnapper, but she found that Jiang Xia was not panicked at all in the face of this situation.
This made her feel a little uneasy, and she was always worried that Jiang Xia had guessed something in advance. However, there was no way back now.
Naoko Torimaru suppressed the fear of being found by that thing at any time, and spoke slowly: "Don't you think there are too many cases happening around you?"
She thought Jiang Xia would reply with something like "What do you mean?", so that she could expose the existence of "that person", and then, when Jiang Xia was shocked, she would take the opportunity to invite him to set up a trap and lure that person out.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia paused for a moment, then stroked his chin, as if he deeply agreed: "Indeed."
Torimaru Naoko: “?”
Jiang Xia: "It's as if someone is deliberately manipulating those poor criminals and victims, making them repeatedly perform boring and pathetic dramas around me - and you and my poor schoolmate are among them."
Torimaru Naoko: “?!”
