Chapter 2106 2114 [Want to resign] Ask for monthly ticket ()
For a moment, Maya Hashimoto had an urge to resign.
Then, after thinking of the headless corpse and the headless body not long ago, he quickly calmed down and buried this idea in the ground and trampled it firmly overnight.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Resign? What job? He likes working under Usa-sama the most!
Isn't it just one or two annoying colleagues? It's not a big deal. Besides, my age is almost the same as the ages of these two kings of the roll, so it's very reasonable for the two of them to team up to deal with me.
After taking a few seconds to calm herself down, Hashimoto Maya snorted in her heart and quickly walked into her room.
…
The next day was the day when the village's samurai festival ended.
Originally, today was supposed to be the day when Xun Zhengmaru took over as the head of the family. However, just as the "cursed samurai" said in the threatening letter, he did not live to see the end of the samurai festival.
The person designated in the will died, and according to common sense, the heir became the eldest son of the previous head of the family, Xun Ryunosuke.
So early in the morning, the old house of the Xun family began to get busy.
In the chaos, a dark figure slipped into the kitchen at the back. He sprinkled some drugs in the drink and smiled sinisterly.
…
In the hotel.
A group of people looked at the bustling village and sighed.
Just then, a black cat sauntered through the revolving door, stopped on the way, and turned its head to look at them.
The cat eating rice next to Jiang Xia suddenly sat up straight, raised its paw and poked its owner: Look, her cat also runs around, and only pretends to be well behaved when there are people around!
Jiang Xia: “…”
Seeing him staring at the cat, Suzuki Sonoko also looked over and said in surprise: "Is this Xun Menghuang's cat? How did it get out?"
"Maybe they are free-range." Jiang Xia seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stopped Shancun Cao who was about to get into the police car. His face was as serious as a detective who suddenly found an important clue. "We have to go back to Xun's house as soon as possible."
…
The old house of Xun family.
The Xun family's immediate family members and business managers were dressed in formal attire and kneeling in a row on the tatami in the main hall.
The host announced: "Then, the eldest son of the late Mr. Xun, Xun Ryunosuke, will succeed him as the head of the family."
Tatsumi Ryunosuke couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore. He looked at Mrs. Tatsumi and said politely, "You don't have any objections, do you?"
Mrs. Xun lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly: "No."
The host breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that the two men did not fight. He unfolded an ancient scroll and said to Xun Longzhi: "Then, please ask the next head of the family to write his name here and press the blood seal."
Xun Longzhisuke walked forward happily and wrote down the name.
He was about to use a knife to cut his thumb and make a fingerprint. But at this moment, a voice interrupted him: "Wait a minute."
Xun Menghuang stood up and pushed over a food cart with a tray on it. On the tray was a teapot and a few glasses of red wine next to it.
"Why don't you have a drink before pressing the blood seal?" Xun Menghuang changed into a beautiful dark purple dress today, looking particularly well-behaved. "I remember yesterday, my brother said he wanted to have a celebratory drink."
Everyone was stunned, worried that the brother and sister would suddenly fight again.
But it didn’t.
Xun Longzhi snorted coldly, but he was surprisingly patient and did not refuse: "Okay, the head of the family will be mine sooner or later anyway, so these few minutes won't matter."
Xun Menghuang distributed the wine one by one.
When she came to Mrs. Xun, she did not offer wine, but poured a cup of black tea: "I remember you can't drink alcohol, in this case, please drink tea."
Mrs. Xun nodded and took it.
Everyone had a drink in their hands. Xun Longzhi stood up and raised his glass: "Then let's drink a glass. I wish Xun family a bright future under my leadership and further success!"
Everyone raised their glasses and suddenly, the door was forcefully opened.
Shancuncao rushed in and shouted, "Wait! Don't move!"
Everyone in the hall: “……?”
Xun Longzhi was stunned: "Didn't you guys leave? Why are you suddenly back?!"
Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and said mysteriously like a detective: "Because the case is not over yet."
Tatsumi Ryunosuke: "Are you suffering from Alzheimer's? The case was closed yesterday!"
"You're the one with Alzheimer's." Suzuki Sonoko snorted, "I heard Jiang Xia say on the way here that yesterday's 'solved case' was actually part of the murderer's plan - even Senda Saruhiko's death and Inspector Yamamura's reaction were completely controlled by the murderer!"
Shancuncao stood there in a daze, his face flushed: he didn't expect that he finally had a highlight moment, but in the end the murderer escaped and then committed suicide. In the end, even his reasoning became a part of the prisoner's play.
...Damn criminal, he will never let that guy go!
so……
Shancun Cao looked at Jiang Xia: "Who is the murderer?"
At the same time, he couldn't help feeling jealous: Why is it okay for the detective to keep the suspense, but he will get into trouble if he does?
Hashimoto Maya also looked over with bated breath: Could it be that this time, Uzo finally stumbled and was caught by Jiang Xia?
"Wait, will Jiang Xia find out that I'm also an important actor?" Hashimoto Maya felt something was wrong, but soon she felt strangely relieved. "Oh, right, besides me, there's also Curacao! If we're going to get into trouble, it's both of us. Maybe we can even work together to escape the police encirclement. It won't be a big problem!"
Jiang Xia glanced at the assistant's face, which was changing from pale to blue, and said slowly while holding back a murderous look, "Inspector Yamamura thinks the murderer is the one who died from an accidental gun discharge, but in fact, there is no way for Senda Saruhiko to escape from that secret room.
“Although he was small and able to crawl through the bars of the secret room window, he couldn’t climb over the ravine—he must have been afraid of heights.
"When he went to pick us up outside the village, his reaction was a little strange when he passed the cliff road and the suspension bridge. And the day before yesterday, Senda Saruhiko used a pair of gardening shears that were two or three meters long when he was pruning trees in the yard.
“The tree was not very tall. He could easily reach the top of the tree by standing on the scaffolding beside the tree, but he only stood on the two lowest steps and chose to use the more difficult to control long-arm scissors to make up the distance. This was certainly not a show of skill, but he was afraid to climb higher.
"The river valley outside the secret room has a huge drop in elevation. It would be impossible for him to use a rope ladder to climb over to the other side after killing someone."
Tatsumi Ryunosuke really didn't know that Senda Saruhiko was afraid of heights.
But now he was thinking about succeeding the head of the family, and was annoyed by these outsiders who interrupted him: "The man is dead. Not to mention being afraid of heights, even if you say he turned into a ghost, he would have to admit it - do you have any evidence? If not, don't come and make trouble!"
