Chapter 2017 2025 [Rum: The Thief's Heart Is Not Dead]
After a pause, Curacao was a little confused again: "So what is Bourbon doing here? Did he come to the aquarium for work?... No, the person I felt was following me before should be him. He didn't appear by chance, but followed me on purpose."
After all, he is a well-informed intelligence agent. After he had a suspicion, Curacao thought about it and his expression suddenly became complicated: "That guy...could it be that he saw Hashimoto Maya and Jiang Xia doing a commission together and mistakenly thought it was a conspiracy to poach people, so he ran over to stare at this side and try to find Uzo's trace.
"Uzo was hanging around right under his nose every day, but he was totally unaware. But he was able to survive for so long in such a harsh environment, so he is indeed a talent - this guy shouldn't be in the intelligence team, he is obviously a good candidate for the action team."
While Curacao was belittling his colleague in his heart, he did not delay in checking his boss's emails.
Soon she opened her phone and saw the email from Rum.
…
After all, Rum was an intelligence chief and was well-informed, especially since Curacao was his subordinate. So he soon learned about Curacao's encounter with Jiang Xia.
This fate made his heart move.
The boss had just expressed his dissatisfaction with his contact with Uzo, and Rum didn't dare to disobey the order and slap the boss in the face at this time - but if he didn't take action, it would be okay for his subordinates to contact Jiang Xia.
And Curacao is also working normally. He has every reason to be right. If anyone wants to blame someone, it can only be blamed on his fate with Uzo.
It would be great if Curacao could pull Uzo to his side. However, considering his boss's attitude, he couldn't say it directly, so in the end he just sent a very tactful email.
…
When Curacao opened the email, he had already thought of a reply like "I will do it as soon as possible" - because Rum was impatient, and he contacted his subordinates either to assign work or to ask why the work had not been completed.
Unexpectedly, this time, when she took a quick look, she found that the email did not say "time is money", but instead told her not to be in a hurry, to take her time to complete the task, and to pay special attention to coordinating interpersonal relationships, and it didn't matter if it took a little longer.
Curacao: “?”
She was stunned for a few seconds, but soon, based on her understanding of Rum, she guessed the guy's sinister intentions.
Then the veins on his forehead jumped and he almost crushed the phone.
Wu Zuo is indeed a powerful subordinate to his boss, but to his colleagues... even colleagues who have nothing to do with him will be pursued and harmed by him. If they really become close colleagues, she dare not imagine how things will develop next.
——The jerk boss is simply fickle and doesn’t care about the lives of his old subordinates in order to poach new people.
Curacao's eyes were gloomy, but his hands were particularly obedient, and he replied respectfully, "I understand."
…
On the other side, the guests scattered after taking pictures.
Xun Zhengwan originally wanted to run away, but when he turned around, he saw Jiang Xia standing calmly in front of the water tank with his back to the light. Under the light, he looked like the protagonist in a heroic story. He snorted coldly and walked towards the big fish tank.
Then he looked through the glass at the mermaid's body floating quietly inside, and his legs and feet began to feel weak.
Xunzhengwan: "..."
The disadvantages of staying at home all the time were exposed at this time - not only had he never seen many beautiful women, he had also never seen a corpse that died suddenly.
Mrs. Xun noticed that his legs were weak, so she came over and held his hand: "Are you okay?"
Xun Zhengwan forced himself to straighten his back: "Of course, I just have no interest in detective work, otherwise my achievements in this area would not be worse than those who like to hype themselves up. How could I be afraid of a mere corpse?"
Hashimoto Maya glanced over here tiredly: "..." You'd better shut up. Can you be a detective casually? What if Uzo gets interested after hearing this and wants to test you on a whim, and it affects me?
Speaking of Uzo...
He turned around and looked around, full of suspicion: Where did Curacao go? Was she secretly carrying out Uzo's conspiracy?
As he looked around, he suddenly saw a person standing not far away: "Why are you here?!"
Curacao pushed his glasses on his nose and said, "I've been here the whole time. I'm just not good at solving cases so I didn't say anything."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Nonsense, you clearly left during the halftime!
...But he was a cadre after all, and Uzo was suspected to be behind him, so he didn't dare to say anything in the end. Not only could he not expose the truth, but he also had to help Curacao cover up the lie.
Hashimoto Maya: “I see!”
The corner of Curacao's eye twitched and revealed a hint of disgust: "..." Why do you have to speak in such a rhythmic tone, are you afraid that others can't tell that you are acting? - Learn the acting skills of the "righteous, kind and good detective" next to you.
…
Not long after, the police car came roaring.
While the police were busy handling the scene, Jiang Xia sighed and looked at Mrs. Xun: "I wanted to take you to see the customs and people in the city, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Mrs. Xun said softly, "It's okay. Accidents are more likely to happen when there are too many people. On the bright side, this is actually a very unique experience. My life experience has increased."
Xun Zhengwan was just thinking of taking the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, but he didn't expect his mother to sabotage him so quickly.
As a filial son, he could only nod with a stern face and did not sabotage Mrs. Xun.
At this time, a fat man in a brown suit and a wide-brimmed hat walked over from the police team.
Xun Zhengwan took a look at the man and remembered how respectful those young police officers were to him just now, and knew that this was probably the chief of the police.
As the head of the family, his social occasion has come again. Xun Zhengwan cleared his throat, took a step forward, and extended his hand elegantly.
Then he was brushed past by the chubby man. Inspector Megure rushed over like a whirlwind, passed him, and grabbed Jiang Xia's hand behind him, excited as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Brother Jiang Xia!!"
“…”
Xun Zhengwan turned his head silently with one of his outstretched hands empty, only to find that the police chief had not even looked at him, his eyes were full of Jiang Xia.
Xunzhengwan: "..."
...Forget about the beauties, after all, human nature is to look at the face, but how come even the police are like this!!
Damn local tyrant! When Jiang Xia arrives at his house, he will teach this arrogant detective a lesson!
…
Inspector Megure was completely unaware of the resentful gaze behind him. He just buried his head and complained to Jiang Xia: "There are too many viewers this time, and the videos and photos are widely circulated. The impact is too great. We must find the real culprit as soon as possible!"
Jiang Xia looked at him in surprise, which made Inspector Megure look confused. The fat police officer scratched his head: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia leaned close to his ear and whispered, "For a performance like this that is somewhat dangerous, shouldn't it be investigated as an accident first? Why did it suddenly jump to 'finding the real culprit'? Have you already found out the inside story?"
