Chapter 222 You Take Control
Jiang Xia sat on a roof not far away, secretly observing the bald uncle. He hoped that after this man found out that the gem was fake, he would have the courage to show some murderous intent...
Kidd glanced at the shadow on the roof and boldly asked Slack's boss: "Speaking of which, that gentleman has no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, why is he so obsessed with gems?"
It sounds a little strange to discuss your boss's thoughts so directly.
However, the bald uncle does not seem to have this awareness, or maybe he is just a person who enjoys popularizing science.
The uncle looked at the gem in his palm and smiled mysteriously: "Of course, what that gentleman wants is not just a simple gem, but the stone of life hidden inside the gem - Pandora.
"There is an ancient legend that goes, 'Offer the Stone of Life to the full moon and the gem will shed tears. Anyone who drinks the gem's tears will achieve immortality.'
"But we don't know which gem contains Pandora, so we can only get them one by one."
Jiang Xia listened to this setting from afar and doubted whether Pandora existed. If it really existed, it sounded like it would be some limited-edition exquisite ghost-raising food...
Kidd didn't expect the process of getting information to be so smooth. To be exact, he didn't try to get information at all. He just asked casually and the other party told him everything.
Kidd looked at the easy-to-talk bald uncle in front of him and simply continued to ask: "How can I tell which gem contains Pandora?"
The bald uncle raised the sapphire in his hand like a kind teacher and said, "Point it at the moon, and the Pandora inside will glow red under the moonlight..."
He looked left and right in the moonlight, but couldn't see any red light anywhere.
I did see a Q version of Kidd's self-portrait engraved on the fake product.
Bald uncle: “……?!”
He stared at the gem, his expression changing several times.
At this moment, a younger brother ran over from the direction of the courtyard gate in panic: "There are police! There are so many policemen gathered at the gate!!"
The murderous aura that the bald uncle had just generated fell to the ground with a plop.
There was a secret passage in the courtyard, and a group of men in black quickly withdrew from the secret passage.
Kidd used the excuse of covering his retreat and separated from the men in black as he walked. Now that he knew the purpose of the men in black, it would be too dangerous to go any deeper.
Kidd dodged under the wall of the courtyard. He wanted to say hello to Mist Tengu and tell it to run away so that it wouldn't be caught by the police and sent for autopsy...
However, when he turned around, the roof was empty and there was no trace of Mist Tengu.
Kidd was startled and glanced around the empty yard, wondering if he had been abandoned by Mist Tengu without realizing it... Are people with wings so unreliable?
However, now is not the time to dwell on this.
As the police broke into the house, Kidd climbed over the wall and disappeared into the forest. I hope Grandpa Terai hid himself in advance and didn't get caught by the police...
…
After seeing the little bit of murderous aura dropped by the bald uncle, Jiang Xia dispersed the puppet without interest, letting Mist Tengu's soul pick up the murderous aura, while his consciousness returned to his body.
As for Kidd... Kidd should be fine. The bald uncle doesn't look very smart, not to mention the police.
Jiang Xia's real body was wearing pajamas and opened his eyes in his bed at home.
I just flew across half of the city in the puppet. Although I got the murderous aura and energy core, I also consumed a lot of energy.
Fortunately, the energy consumed by the psychic can be replenished by sleeping.
Jiang Xia was experienced and well prepared. He opened his eyes and immediately closed them again and fell asleep on the spot.
But at this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes and pulled the quilt up a little to cover his ears, not wanting to pay attention.
But when he pulled the quilt, he accidentally touched the ghost lying dead on the quilt.
Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.
Speaking of ghosts, we have to think of ghost mint, and speaking of ghost mint, we have to think of the recent reduction in inventory.
The people who call him are usually here to bring murderous intent or ghosts...
A second later, Jiang Xia picked up the phone and entered business mode: "Hello? Hello."
At this time, he gradually came to his senses - the phone that rang just now was the organization's cell phone.
The signal was intermittent at sea and on Mermaid Island, and Jiang Xia did not receive any calls at that time.
After returning, he checked his phone several times, but there was no message on it. He didn't know whether no one had contacted him, or someone had called him and then used the customary black technology to erase the call records...
At present, only Gin will use this phone to contact him - Shirley ran away from the Black Organization, and Toru Amuro has never issued any tasks from the organization to him. The only few missions were when Jiang Xia took the initiative to follow him, so usually, Toru Amuro calls the daily number.
While thinking, Jiang Xia looked at the number on his phone and it was indeed Gin.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Xia briefly explained the previous loss of contact: "I won a travel voucher in a lottery a while ago, so I went out. It's quite remote on the sea, so the signal might not be very good."
...He remembered that Gin had said before that there was no need to report when going out, so this shouldn't be a big problem.
Gin really didn't care about this: "I know."
At this time, Gin had the information collected by Vodka next to him.
——According to the intelligence, there are five dead and one missing. Except for the last case, the search for the "missing" murderer is still ongoing, and the others have been closed. The location of the crime is completely consistent with Uzo's travel route.
This familiar murder pattern, this familiar frequency and density of crimes... Even if the word "Jiangxia" was blurred out everywhere in the newspaper, Gin felt that he could tell at a glance whose masterpiece it was.
Gin held the phone in his hand, scanning the cases. Finally, he pushed the other files aside and stopped his gaze on the words "籏本高佐".
This is the patriarch of the Rakumoto family and the person in charge of the Rakumoto Group.
Of course, those glorious days are now a thing of the past. Today, after the unfortunate fate of sharing a ship with Usa, Gozo is a stabbed corpse.
Gin looked away from the information and said to Jiang Xia on the other side of the receiver, "When you meet those big shots in the future, restrain yourself - not all of them are against us."
Jiang Xia: “…”
He skillfully caught the shark fin pan thrown by Gin and sighed secretly in his heart - this might be a bit difficult to handle. After all, the god of death next door to his house believes in equality for all beings and will not show leniency to anyone just because he is rich.
Even people with too high status seem to be more likely to be targeted by the power of death...
But of course, it is impossible to tell Gin about these things.
Jiang Xia asked hesitantly, "Is that Chieftain of the Luben clan one of ours?"
Gin sneered softly and said nothing. Silence and depression spread through the receiver.
