Chapter 2242 2254 [Visit]
Shuichi Akai continued, "So my friend called the police, but after the police investigation not long ago, they said that they had contacted Mr. Shitara Shigekichi - he said on the phone that he went to Izu for vacation."
Jiang Xia listened and nodded as if he had experience: "There are many possibilities. Maybe you saw it wrong yesterday and the kidnappers were not chasing him. Or maybe Mr. Shitara has been completely controlled by the kidnappers and has no choice but to cooperate with them in lying."
He stood up, took a piece of paper and put it in front of Akai Shuichi: "How about this, I'll go investigate, you fill out this registration form, and I'll let you know if there's any news."
The mermaid was startled when she heard that, and floated over and pulled Jiang Xia: It’s rare that you’ve come to my doorstep, I can’t let you go easily!
Xiaobai nodded repeatedly and gave the psychic master an idea with gestures: Why not put some anesthetic in Akai Shuichi's drink, and then put the blame on Amuro Toru, pretending that the drug was placed in the coffee or tea in the office, or... or blame it on Hashimoto Maya, who has also been to the office and has the opportunity to commit the crime!
Jiang Xia's heart was briefly moved, but he quickly rejected it calmly: We can't let go of the long-term trap just for the sake of momentary murderous intent.
Sure enough, after Akai Shuichi finished writing the form, his next words were: "I'll go with you. My friend didn't have time to stop the kidnapping yesterday, and he has been feeling very guilty. He asked me to personally confirm the safety of Mr. Shitara Shigekichi."
Don't talk nonsense. Your friend has no conscience... Jiang Xia argued in his heart, shaking his head reluctantly: "This is too dangerous. I have to be responsible for the safety of my client."
Akai Shuichi: "Take me with you. This is also part of the commission."
The high school detective hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and said, "Okay."
The ghosts looked at the reluctant psychic master, and then looked at Akai Shuichi who breathed a sigh of relief: "..."
As expected of the master, he is simply...invincible and invincible!
…
Now that you have accepted the commission, the next step is to start looking for someone.
Before setting out to investigate, Jiang Xia remembered something and looked at the disk he had just received from Akai Shuichi - the disk left by Shitara Shigekichi with a "Confidential" label.
After taking a look, he asked Akai Shuichi: "Have you seen what's inside?"
Akai Shuichi shook his head like an ordinary citizen: "This seems to be very confidential information, otherwise it wouldn't be labeled like this."
Jiang Xia sighed and said hesitantly: "Although invading privacy is not a good habit, since we are looking for someone, we'd better take a look at the things inside first - this is very likely the reason why Mr. Shitara was kidnapped. If we can identify the suspect through it, it will be more efficient to start investigating directly from the suspect."
Shuichi Akai really wanted to say that it was just a mere invasion of privacy and there was no need to explain so much, he could just go ahead and do it... However, the person in front of him was a serious and responsible underage detective after all, so it was not easy to say this, and it did not suit his current identity.
He didn't say anything in the end, just nodded.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia walked to the office's computer, pulled out a stool, sat down, and inserted the disk.
However, this disk lived up to the label on it. Jiang Xia randomly clicked a few times with the mouse and said, "You need to enter the password to view it."
Akai Hideya nodded and waited for him to hack in.
However, Jiang Xia said cautiously: "I haven't learned this knowledge systematically. It would be bad if I damaged the information inside. How about this, the boss of our firm seems to have hacker skills. I'll ask him to come over and help crack it."
Akai Shuichi: "...?"
He subconsciously glanced at the glass on the bookshelf and began to wonder if this disguise could deceive Amuro Toru:
Jiang Xia had almost never seen him in person, and at most knew a little about him through photos and videos distributed by the organization, so unless he intentionally exposed himself, it would be difficult for Jiang Xia to discover his true identity.
But Amuro Toru was different. This intelligence agent had strong observation skills and accurate intuition, and he had worked with him in the organization before. It just so happened that they had just met last night, and Amuro Toru's memory of him was still fresh in his mind. If he met him now...
Shuichi Akai began to think about whether he should create a new identity for himself as a "computer enthusiast".
However, before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xia had already taken out his cell phone and pressed the dial button very smoothly - Amuro Toru was actually on his quick dial list, and he dialed it with just a few presses.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
So should I find an excuse to leave as soon as possible and miss this opportunity to contact Uzo through Jiangxia, or should I stay and act accordingly?
He didn't want to reveal the fact that he could disguise himself, because if he wanted to infiltrate the organization in the future, he would probably have to rely on this... Of course, the premise was that Subaru Okiya didn't tell this to anyone.
Thoughts raced through Shuichi Akai's mind.
But soon, he won't have to make such decisions anymore.
——Jiang Xia called, but no one answered. After a few rings, the call was automatically disconnected.
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, looking at the phone with no response: "..." Boss, do you know what you missed?
...a rare happiness!
He sighed and put away his phone helplessly.
Shuichi Akai didn't expect this result. He first thought: Is Toru Amuro a little busy?
But soon, he saw something from Jiang Xia's expression: "That Mr. Amuro often doesn't answer your calls?"
Jiang Xiayin nodded in condemnation.
Shuichi Akai comforted him: "Maybe bosses are all busy." Especially a boss like you who loves to work part-time and often does the work of eight people by yourself.
However, on the other hand, this proves that Toru Amuro has ruled out the suspicion that Jiang Xia is Uzo, otherwise how could he not answer Jiang Xia's calls, and repeatedly not answer them.
"Then let's find someone else." Jiang Xia grabbed a young man who came to catch cats nearby and asked him to help take the disk to Dr. Agasa's house and asked him to crack it.
Then he stood up and looked at Akai Shuichi: "Let's go to the bus stop first. Although missing cases usually start from the home, since you witnessed the kidnapping scene, let's start there."
…
Soon, the two arrived at the Muromachi Hospital Station.
After getting off the taxi, Akai Shuichi watched Jiang Xia put the receipt back into his wallet: "..." Is he going to take it for reimbursement? He is indeed a member of the organization brought by Amuro Toru.
Jiang Xia stood at the bus stop and looked around. On one side of the street was Muromachi Hospital, and on the other side was a newspaper office: "Where was he kidnapped?"
Shuichi Akai adjusted to his role as a client and pointed to the narrow alley leading to the news agency.
