Chapter 2230 2241 [Tragic Substitute] Ask for monthly ticket ()
Judy's eyes twitched, and she had the urge to move over and wake Jiang Xia up - Akai Shuichi was reliable, but he was not at the scene after all. Far water cannot quench a nearby fire, but Jiang Xia was at the scene. And with Jiang Xia's keenness, maybe he could find some important clues that she could not observe?
But when this thought came to her mind, Judy became motionless.
Judy: "..." How can she drag a high school detective into the water just because the enemy is scary? Wouldn't she be no different from Usa who used Suzuki Sonoko?
...As an adult, I should shoulder the burdens of life and work.
Of course, if Jiang Xia wanted to offer help, she would not refuse, but now...
Judy stared at Jiang Xia for several seconds, but unfortunately no one responded to her expectant gaze.
Recalling the experience of the day, Judy could only sigh silently: Today, everyone traveled a long distance all day, and was forced to stay up all night because of the case. Jiang Xia also had a cold, and his voice was hoarse just now. It was already very heartless to force this patient to go on a trip. Do you have to wake him up when he is catching up on his sleep?
Judy: "..." Forget it, forget it. Let's observe carefully first, and then we can do something if it doesn't work. She is an FBI after all, she can't underestimate herself. Maybe she can deal with Uzo alone!
Then Judy discovered that under her careful observation... Uzo really started to solve the case.
Judy: “…”
This guy is so relaxed. What does he think of today's clash with the FBI? An ordinary trip?
...He's so arrogant, Shuichi, teach him a lesson!
Speaking of which, why hasn’t Shuichi Akai replied to the message yet?
Judy glanced at her phone quietly, thinking that perhaps the signal was fluctuating, so she continued to observe and wait.
…
"I have confirmed the situation at the scene, and it is indeed consistent with what my 'mysterious friend' said."
As he said this, "Uzo" looked towards Judy again.
Then got a murderous handful of crispy fries.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and said casually in a tone that he rarely used: "Then let's start solving the case now."
Judy: “…” She spoke in a bland tone. It turned out that the fake detective was different from the real detective. She didn’t have the vigor and vitality of a high school detective when solving a case.
Next to her, Vermouth had completely different thoughts: "..." The fake guy in front of her, except for the tone, had an aura that was a bit like Jiang Xia in the "Uzo" state.
Is this a deliberate imitation? As expected of the shield and scapegoat trained by Wu Zuo... Ahem, as expected of the substitute trained by Wu Zuo.
Moreover, the fake Uzo's suit was very neat, without a single spot of dirt, and he certainly didn't look like someone who was rushing through the rain. This showed that this "Situ" had either been waiting in the villa for a long time, or had brought a change of clothes.
If it was the former, it meant that Wu Zuo had known that they would eventually arrive at this villa today, and her car had indeed been destroyed by him.
And if it's the latter... Not only does Uzo pay attention to his own image, he is also so strict with his subordinates' image.
But no matter which one it is, one thing is certain: for the sake of his stage, Uzo does not treat his subordinates as human beings.
The former meant getting here before it rained, and then hiding carefully for more than twenty hours while ensuring that the homeowner would not find out.
As for the latter... there was no signal here before, which meant that Situ had to always track nearby and then show up when he was needed.
"In this rainy forest with low visibility, you have to keep a close distance to avoid losing track, but I didn't notice anyone following me at all."
Vermouth was wondering, "Is it because I am not alert enough, or is it because his tracking skills are too good? Oh, I remember that he seemed to have stayed in Burma for a while. If so, the rainy forest is a familiar tracking environment for him."
On the one hand, she was a little afraid of this fake Uzo, but on the other hand, Vermouth also felt a little sympathetic.
——Standby and tracking, neither of these two methods is easy.
Vermouth: “…” Uzo is really a devil boss. Just judging from the working hours, Gin is not as busy as his subordinates.
However, it was just an ordinary case, why would Uzo send out this substitute?
She glanced at the fake Uzo who was solving the case, and then glanced at Judy out of the corner of her eye: Could it be that in this seemingly simple one-choice case, there was some hidden secret that she didn't know about?
…
Whatever the FBI and the organization members were thinking was irrelevant to the psychic and detective next to them.
Anyway, the road is not open yet and I'm just sitting around doing nothing. If I see a Shikigami hanging on someone's legs, of course I have to grab it off.
Jiang Xia pushed up his sunglasses and said slowly, "My friends came here to borrow a phone and stay overnight because they encountered an emergency. But what was waiting for them was a big pot of hot curry, and the amount of curry was enough to fill all of them."
Judy: "..." Stop looking at me! Who is your friend?
Suzuki Sonoko was very cooperative and seemed unusually enthusiastic. She thought about it carefully and soon realized the problem: "Mr. Akashi only has two people at home, but he heated up so much curry... Eh? Did he know we were coming?"
Judy: "..." You look like a foolish person, but you must have known the script long ago. The enthusiasm in your eyes completely exposed you. You are a cunning girl. You even deliberately took us off the stage before, causing me to let my guard down and lose a car... Damn, my reimbursement limit.
Officer Yamamura suddenly realized what was going on and asked Akashi Hiroto, "Why did you cook so much curry? Even if it was leftover from yesterday, couldn't you just heat up two servings today? But you even heated up the guests' portion..."
Akashi Hiroto's forehead was covered with sweat. "Well, there is a tennis court near my house, and I am a tennis coach, so many students have a good relationship with me. They often come to my house for dinner after practice, and the curry is prepared for them."
Shancuncao thought of the muddy puddles on the road and scratched his head: "But it's raining today. Can the tennis court in the woods be used? Is anyone really going there?"
Akashi Hiroto was about to lie and say that he met a few enthusiastic students playing basketball in the rain, but unfortunately they didn't come to his house. However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: this excuse won't work.
——The only group of people he met on the tennis court were these people in front of him.
This excuse had been blocked half a day ago. Even if I tell it out loud now, it will only be ruthlessly exposed by them, and then my suspicion will increase!
