Chapter 2245 2257 [Vodka: I'm just passing by]
Shuichi Akai obviously had no intention of waiting for him to come back after renting the motorcycle as Jiang Xia had said.
After all, he is not a real ordinary citizen, and he does not need protection from detective Jiang Xia. On the contrary, the fact that Jiang Xia followed him to find the kidnappers is more worrying.
——Compared to leading an unarmed high school student with only a baton into the kidnappers' lair, the lone wolf Shuichi Akai is more accustomed to solving problems on his own.
…
Jiang Xia got a motorcycle nearby and when he returned to the bus terminal, he glanced into the office from afar through the window and found that Akai Shuichi, who was supposed to be waiting there, was gone.
Jiang Xia: “…” Well…normal operation.
Just as he was looking around, a passerby driver on a bus parked on the parking lot ran down in shock, "Kidnapping, someone is kidnapping!!"
Jiang Xia soothed her skillfully: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
The driver wiped his sweat, "How can I not be anxious? The tall guy who came with you was caught, right next to my car! When he was pulled into the car, his head hit the edge of the car with a bang. I was afraid he would be killed on the spot."
Jiang Xia: “…” Being tall also has its troubles… But you don’t have to worry about getting hit to death, Akai Shuichi has a very tough head.
But he immediately showed a serious expression: "Where was the kidnapper's car parked? Take me over to have a look."
A passerby driver had heard that this was a famous detective and took him to his car.
Jiang Xia glanced at the ground and, as expected, saw a small ball of murderous aura that had been knocked away.
He half-knelt down and pretended to check for traces, but in fact he was filled with murderous intent and put it in his arms.
Then he said to the enthusiastic driver: "I'll chase after it and take a look. Can you please help call the police and explain the situation to them?"
The driver nodded quickly. While touching his phone, he looked down at the ground that Jiang Xia had just checked.
...No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary piece of concrete ground, without any strange traces.
He scratched his head in confusion, and when he looked up again at Jiang Xia's decisive figure walking away, his eyes couldn't help but reveal deep admiration.
——As expected of a famous detective, he can actually identify such tiny traces!
...Although he didn't know what traces were on the ground, Jiang Xia's unhesitating look and calm expression showed that the detective already knew where the kidnappers were going!
“Being a detective really depends on talent.” The driver sighed and whispered curiously, “So what clues did he see?”
…
Jiang Xia didn't see any clues, but just picked up some gains from the ground.
But this does not mean that he has lost the trace of Shuichi Akai - in order not to miss this wonderful time together, his own ghost is still pulling the FBI's body, Jiang Xia only needs to follow the ghost to find his whereabouts.
Soon, a motorcycle rushed out of the bus terminal in an emergency to rescue people.
...Then after leaving the monitoring range, slow down and drive slowly.
Jiang Xia: "..." It's not that he's delaying, it's just that there are many forks in the road. As a psychic who has to disguise his identity, he must pretend to be thinking and reasoning, and can't go straight to the target - anyway, the kidnappers can't do anything to Akai Shuichi, so it's better to delay a little longer.
I was searching for clues carefully and slowly when suddenly my cell phone vibrated and a call came in.
Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and took a look, and found that it was Conan.
Jiang Xia: “…” Although there was no evidence, he felt that something good was going to happen.
He picked up the call without hesitation.
"Ahem, I heard that you were involved in a kidnapping case?" Conan's curious voice came from the receiver.
This mini detective hadn't fully recovered from his cold yet, but when he went to Dr. Agasa's place for a meal and heard there was a case, he immediately went into detective mode.
Jiang Xia didn't mind him working while sick, and briefly explained the situation: "For some reason, the client didn't wait for me in the office, but went to the parking lot where there were fewer people. Now he has been kidnapped, and I'm trying to find him."
"Going alone to rescue the kidnappers? That's too dangerous." Conan condemned calmly, and then demanded, "I'll go too, take me with you! That way there will be two of us - do you have a rough guess about the kidnappers' hideout? There's a traffic jam in the city right now, and my skateboard is faster than a police car. If we surround them from both sides, we will definitely be able to rescue those two poor hostages."
Jiang Xia glanced in the direction of Akai Shuichi from a distance and said, "This area is quite remote, the land is cheap, there are many factories, and there are also some companies with average economic conditions. I'm checking and will let you know when I find them."
…
The other side.
A quiet street.
Vodka looked at his watch, yawned, and muttered, "Although coming earlier can help me understand the surrounding situation in advance and avoid being ambushed by the enemy, the waiting time is really boring... After all, is it necessary to be so cautious about such a small transaction?"
Today, Gin went to see a psychologist according to the email sent by his boss, so Vodka went alone to complete a small deal.
He glanced at his notebook, eager to open it and watch Miss Yoko's show tonight.
However, despite his thoughts, Vodka did not dare to do such an obvious slacking off while waiting for the transaction - after all, he felt that since Uzo joined the organization, his living environment had become much more difficult than before, and he had to stay focused at all times to maintain his life.
"Especially now that Brother Gin is not here, that little bastard might take advantage of the situation and sneak in, even though he doesn't know where I am. But... well, I'd better be cautious."
Vodka had to silently suppress his love for Miss Yoko, temporarily put the show behind him, and decided to check the subsequent recordings after the transaction was completed.
Just then, he heard the roar of an engine - a car was approaching quickly.
“?!”
Vodka immediately became alert and pricked up his ears.
"This area is basically full of abandoned factories and office buildings. No one should be here at this time." He thought quickly in his mind, "Is my trading partner here? But he doesn't need to drive so fast... Or maybe he's just passing by?"
He really wanted to hack into the nearby surveillance cameras to see what was going on, but unfortunately, few people came to this area, and the various office buildings and factories were in a semi-out of service state, and the surveillance had been broken for a long time.
The surveillance cameras he installed only monitored the transaction site and did not cover this place.
After hesitating for a moment, Vodka picked up his briefcase and quietly got off the car like an ordinary office worker, intending to pretend to pass by and check the situation.
He arranged for peripheral members to provide support nearby. If there was any danger, he would just go through the narrow alley and run away quickly.
