Chapter 20132013 [Involution]
The next day, at the appointed time, Maya Hashimoto took Saburo Izuka out and drove all the way to Mrs. Asahi's mansion.
On the way, Maya Hashimoto secretly glanced at the driver's seat a few times.
Saburo Izuka, the undercover agent placed by Usa next to him, is a little cunning, but he is a rare old employee who does not target him. At least he does not target him openly like Toru Amuro and Conan.
All I can say is that this guy Inozuka has carried his acting skills to the extreme and integrated them into his life - until now, he still says that he is innocent, and he is still cautious when facing Hashimoto Maya, pretending to be quite realistic.
"This guy is too scary. He almost fooled me just now." Hashimoto Maya sat in the co-pilot seat, secretly reminding herself to stay awake. "None of Uzo's men are easy to deal with. When I believe he is innocent, that's when I will be tricked, just like last time - I must not let my guard down!"
Next to him, Saburo Izuka was driving cautiously, not daring to say a word: he knew that Hashimoto Maya seemed to have a little misunderstanding of him, and he had explained it, but the mixed-blood man next to him, who originally had some brains, now seemed to have been brainwashed by Usa, and was determined to insist that he was "Usa's trusted spy."
Involving that mysterious and terrifying cadre, Izuka Saburo didn't dare to say much, nor did he dare to ask too much. Anyway, since Hashimoto Maya didn't seem to have any intention of shooting him, he just acted like a silent driver and drove his car quietly.
Not long after, as the two were wary of each other, they arrived at the mansion.
Maya Hashimoto got out of the car, looked around the house, and was about to go over when she suddenly noticed that there was no movement in the driver's seat.
He looked back suspiciously and saw Saburo Izuka sitting motionless in his seat, as if he had grown up in the driver's seat.
Hashimoto Maya: “…You’re not going?”
Izuka Saburo always felt that Hashimoto Maya looked so heavy, and coming here must not be a good thing, so he said: "I want to wait here."
In fact, this was just a suggestion, but when Hashimoto Maya heard it, it had a different meaning.
"Okay." Hashimoto Maya did not insist, "I'll go by myself - but you must be ready to pick me up at any time. Otherwise, if I leak anything, you will definitely take half the blame."
Izuka Saburo: “…” Such a bright and cheerful looking mouth could actually utter such vicious words!
But in any case, just don't let him go upstairs. The car looks much safer than that big house.
Izuka Saburo then pretended to be calm and nodded: "Go quickly."
Maya Hashimoto is gone.
…
Perhaps because the previous experience of buying the land was too tortuous, Hashimoto Maya always felt uneasy when she suddenly came to such a magnificent house. She felt that this place was very suitable as the background for a murder stage.
As this thought flashed through his mind, he was shocked: he had actually started to think about where the crime would happen. He had actually been assimilated by Uzo to this extent...
With extremely complicated feelings, the housekeeper picked him up at the parking lot and took him upstairs.
Maya Hashimoto was well prepared to attend the Hongmen Banquet, but when she actually arrived, she received a relatively normal reception.
Xu Shengyi's widow is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She is a little old, but she is well-maintained and beautiful, and she looks very elegant.
When Hashimoto Maya entered the room, she was leaning on the wide, soft sofa, fiddling with an antique vase. Noticing Hashimoto Maya coming in, Mrs. Asahi put the vase aside, took off her gloves, and said, "Sit down."
Hashimoto Maya moved over silently and sat down, while looking out the window.
Very good, from Izuka Saburo's perspective, he should be able to see this window. If there is any problem, that guy might be able to help.
…
However, the rich lady in front of her was obviously a civilized person, and she had no intention of suddenly attacking and killing people.
The two chatted for a few sentences about the land, but Hashimoto Maya became more and more nervous as they talked: she always felt that Mrs. Asahi was absent-minded when she talked about the land, as if she had other purposes than the land.
Just as I was secretly on guard, Mrs. Asahi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you are now an employee of the Amuro Detective Agency?"
"?!" Hashimoto Maya was shocked. He didn't expect her to suddenly bring this up. His employment was obviously kept secret, and only Jiang Xia and the few Uzo minions around him knew about it. But why would this rich woman in front of him, who should have had nothing to do with Jiang Xia,...
When Maya Hashimoto became alert, Mrs. Asahi casually tapped her phone twice.
Then she looked at the screen, then at Hashimoto Maya, compared them for a moment, and turned the phone screen to show him: "This is you."
Maya Hashimoto's eyes fell on her expensive mobile phone. When she saw the screen clearly, her gaze suddenly froze.
——The page opened on the phone was the homepage of the Amuro Detective Agency.
At this time, someone had posted his photo in the employee column below, with his real name "Hashimoto Maya" written below. The photo, which was secretly taken at some point, was grinning on the screen, looking like a warm and cheerful employee.
Hashimoto Maya's eyes went dark.
As a member of an organization walking in the dark and a close confidant of a cadre, he should have been hiding his identity and leaving no trace in society... But at this moment, he was actually posted on this homepage with a lot of views, and it was a high-definition, enlarged version of his ID photo!
Who is so wicked!!
Hashimoto Maya: “…” The damn little black face, it must be him, the guy who started targeting me as soon as the new employee came in.
Fortunately, I am usually careful and cautious, and I have never left any traces of illegal activities under this identity. Otherwise, the organization's silencing team might have come to my door.
Hashimoto Maya beat Amuro Toru a hundred times in his heart, but unfortunately, things had come to this point and he could only grit his teeth and face reality.
He forced a professional smile and said, "It's me. Do you know this detective agency?"
The rich lady's expression suddenly eased a lot.
She lit a thin lady's cigarette, held it between her fingertips and took a puff, then suddenly said to Hashimoto Maya, "If you want that piece of land, I can give it to you directly."
"?" Hashimoto Maya became more alert. There was no such thing as a free lunch. He suspected that the lady wanted to kill him with a pie. "This is not good."
But there was indeed a turning point.
"But..." Mrs. Asahi seemed to have a condition. She hooked her finger and motioned Hashimoto Maya to listen carefully.
Hashimoto Maya's eyes swept over her quietly.
The lady was wearing a loose silk home dress, but because the material was close to her body, it could be seen that she had no knife or gun hidden on her body.
...Then if you get close to her, as long as you are careful not to be poisoned by her, the mortality rate is not high.
With her mind racing, Hashimoto Maya closed her mouth tightly, pulled her sleeves down to cover as much exposed skin as possible, and then carefully moved closer.
Then he heard Mrs. Fu whispering warmly in his ear, "Bring Jiang Xia to me."
Hashimoto Maya: “??!”
