Chapter 1958 1966 [Go kill Jiang Xia]
"When Wuzo and I were enemies before, I wanted to use Jiang Xia to deal with Wuzo, but Jiang Xia first suspected my identity. Now I am forced to surrender to Wuzo, and Wuzo wants me to deal with Jiang Xia."
Hashimoto Maya's thoughts paused for a moment. After a moment, she couldn't help but wonder, "Can't these two geniuses just fight it out quietly? Why do they have to drag an innocent passerby like me in as a pawn?"
...Oh, that's not right. Jiang Xia didn't use him as a pawn. He was the one who offered himself to him.
But the meaning remains the same: if he is unfortunately caught up in the fight between these two people, how long can he live?
——You can’t accept it. You absolutely cannot accept this task!
The desire to survive was roaring in her mind, and Hashimoto Maya said carefully: "To be honest, because I always appear next to Jiang Xia by chance, Jiang Xia has been on guard against me. Under these circumstances, I am afraid that my chances of assassinating him are not very high."
Wuzo tapped the rim of the cup with his fingers, as if appreciating the crisp sound. “Don’t underestimate the detective’s kindness. That is their biggest flaw. As long as you take the initiative to contact him, no matter what your purpose is, he will agree to let you stay with him instead of pushing you away.”
"Stay beside Jiang Xia?" Hashimoto Maya combined this sentence with the previous task of "kill him" and tried to guess, "You want me to lurk beside him and then poison him with a slow-acting poison?"
“…”
Wuzo looked at him for a long time, finally sighed softly, and shook his head helplessly: "You have been outside the organization for too long, and your thinking has deviated into the shape of a thug. You must remember in the future that killing people with your own hands, no matter whether the killing method is simple and crude or long-term, is just an atrocity with no viewing value. Since you have become my subordinate, you should learn to give up this mode in the future and act in a way that is more in line with your identity."
"..." Hashimoto Maya pondered the meaning of these words and her eyes went dark: Uzo wouldn't think that anyone can learn his silent assassination method, right? These bastard geniuses really don't understand the sufferings of the world.
"If it was an ordinary person, maybe I could try to fan the flames and make that person die from a sudden murder. But Jiang Xia..."
Hashimoto Maya was filled with despair: "This famous detective has solved so many cases, seen so many treacherous methods, and met so many criminals. Whether in terms of wisdom or experience, he has long surpassed many people, and that "many people" naturally includes me.
"Now Wuzo asked me to murder Jiang Xia in this way. It's just like asking an ordinary primary school student to give a math doctoral student a math problem that he can't solve... Unless I memorize an unsolved mathematical mystery, it's simply a fantasy."
…Unfortunately, there are unsolved mysteries in mathematics, but not in murder.
There must be a reason and process for a person's death. The murder against Jiang Xia happened near him, and Jiang Xia must have noticed it.
Maya Hashimoto gradually began to doubt Uzo's purpose in recruiting him.
The words "Stop beating around the bush and just kill me" were already on the tip of his tongue.
At this time, Wu Zuo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and laughed: "Of course I know you can't do this now. I don't want you to really kill Jiang Xia, but this is a good practice opportunity."
Wu Zuo crossed his legs, with one hand resting casually on his knee. He spoke patiently like a good mentor, "The detective will not attack you without evidence, so from now on, you must have the intention and awareness to kill Jiang Xia, carefully observe all the circumstances around him, and think about how to use them to quietly push him to his death."
Hashimoto Maya was slightly stunned.
Then, in a long string of words, he accurately grasped the most useful point for himself: "... practice?"
...In other words, there is no need to really kill Jiang Xia?
His tense heart sank back to its original place with a thump, and he felt like he had come back from the gates of hell - this showed that Uzo was really training him, instead of finding an excuse to let him "die in the line of duty."
"But things may not be that simple. Usa must have other purposes in doing this." Hashimoto Maya showed a grateful look while secretly speculating in her heart.
Soon he felt that he understood something: "I understand! Wu Zuo must want to use me to interfere with Jiang Xia's keen insight and judgment.
"If Jiang Xia is forced to get used to my murderous intent every day, he will be like a bow that is stretched tight every day and gradually becomes loose.
"And if Jiang Xia's attention is on me, the one who 'sincerely' wants to kill him, then when Wu Zuo really takes action, Jiang Xia will inevitably ignore the insidious threat from Wu Zuo.
"It seems that although Wu Zo appears to be calm on the surface, he is actually afraid of the detective Jiang Xia. I made the right decision to seek help from Jiang Xia before! It's a pity that my identity in the organization makes it difficult for me to completely get rid of this terrible demon Wu Zo."
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Maya had an idea: "If this is the case, should I be lazy and let some water down when implementing this plan of 'murdering Jiang Xia'?"
The next moment, as if he could hear his heartbeat, Wu Zuo said, "By the way, you are not alone. Sometimes some of your colleagues will appear around Jiang Xia - there is no progress without competition. Those who have not made any progress after a year will have to leave me. Time is limited, you have to seize the opportunity."
“…”
As soon as the loophole you wanted to exploit appeared, it was blocked.
The corners of Hashimoto Maya's eyes twisted. She didn't dare to continue to fantasize in front of him. She could only convince herself to sincerely agree: "I understand. I will try my best."
At the same time, Wu Zuo's words just now made him think of Izuka Saburo who was lurking beside him, and a chill suddenly rose behind him.
Immediately afterwards, another figure flashed through his mind—Suzuki Sonoko, whom he had once suspected.
Could this high school girl also be Uzo's subordinate?
Hashimoto Maya's heart couldn't help but start to tremble again: "From what Wu Zuo said, he has more than one subordinate lurking beside Jiang Xia. I have had quite a few contacts with Jiang Xia, but I didn't notice anything before..."
For a moment his scalp felt tingling, as if he had accidentally found a bug at home: on the surface there was only one, but if you lift up the covering object, who knows how many there are gathered underneath?
Uzo is so terrifying.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." But that high school girl doesn't look very smart. If Uzo implements the last-place elimination, wouldn't she be very safe with her?
But the next moment, Hashimoto Maya suddenly realized something bad.
"She is the heiress of the Suzuki Group. Such a person should not be a member of the organization, but was bewitched by Uzo. Even if it is true, people who bring money into the group are probably not on the elimination list..."
