Chapter 229 Jiang Xia, your incident has been exposed
Since no one ever called him "Tongzhi", Jiang Xia didn't think about it this way when he was separating his characters.
Unexpectedly, Mao Lilan remembered it very clearly. Not only did she break down the number for him, but she also broke it down into three "tens" at a time.
…
"Be alert! Keep an eye out for suspicious people around you!"
The police ambushed next to the two "Tens", "Shihezi" and Jiang Xia, trying to catch the attackers who had fallen into the trap.
However, nothing was achieved.
In the blink of an eye, it was night. Officer Shiratori temporarily took over the duties of the injured Inspector Megure and dispatched some people to guard near Miss Towako's club.
At the invitation of Mao Lilan, Jiang Xia slept on the floor in the Mao Li Detective Agency.
Haibara Ai also had a pair of half-moon eyes and was forcibly carried home by Mouri Ran - Professor Agasa had just been attacked and was still in the hospital. Mouri Ran felt uneasy when she thought that Haibara Ai, a "first-grade elementary school student", had to live alone.
The two men, who were from the Black Organization and were not afraid of attackers, met unexpectedly at the Maori Detective Agency.
“…”
Jiang Xia and Huihara Ai looked at each other, sighed, and just stayed there as if nothing had happened.
…
In a display cabinet in Maori's house, there are signatures of various celebrities.
The next morning, when Jiang Xia passed by the cabinet, his eyes inadvertently stopped on a photo frame.
"This is a signed photo from Mr. Hiroki Tsuji." Mao Lilan passed by with corn soup and saw Jiang Xia's gaze. She couldn't help but show him the celebrity autographs in her house. "He is a friend of my father, a very famous golf player!"
Jiang Xia looked at the cursive “辻” on the autographed photo: “…”
Mao Lilan smiled and said halfway, suddenly thought of something, and her eyes fell there: "..."
Huibara Ai strolled over, looked up at Jiang Xia, then looked at Mao Lilan, and seeing that they were silent, she broke the silence and said what everyone was thinking: "Could it be that the 'Ten' who was targeted was him?"
——The "辻" in Hiroki Tsuji is not a common surname, and its pronunciation "つじ" is not similar to the common pronunciation of "十".
Kogoro Maori, who was not sensitive to Chinese characters, followed Jiang Xia's gaze, stared at the photo blankly, and the spoon in his hand fell into the soup with a "pop".
The next second, he jumped up: "I'll call him! Xiaolan, contact the police immediately!"
"Okay!" Mao Lilan ran to call the police skillfully.
A few seconds later, the call from Maori Kogoro was connected, and a strong voice came from the phone: "Maori? It's rare for you to contact me on your own initiative. What happened?"
"Where are you now?" Maori Kogoro became serious for a rare moment. "I'm sorry, I may have offended someone. That person is attacking people around me in numerical order. According to the previous rules, the next person to be attacked will probably be the one with the number 'ten' in his name..."
"Haha, have you read any weird detective novels recently?" Hiroki Tsuji didn't care at all and ignored the topic. He quickly thought of something else. "By the way, if you are free, come to Dongze Airport to play with me now. I have a game tomorrow, and I plan to take a helicopter ride today to relieve stress. I happen to have an empty seat, so I can give you a ride."
…
Kogoro Mouri has no interest in going for a ride because he is afraid of heights.
However, now that we know where Hiroki Tsuji is, of course we have to go see him as soon as possible.
"Hey, you guys think too much, what can happen?"
Airport.
Hiroki Tsuji looked at the police and detectives who were blocking his way and waved his hand: "My driving skills are battle-tested, the plane has just been inspected, the weather is good today, and there are no unidentified objects on the route - those small-scale attacks with slingshots will not bother me at all."
Inspector Megure frowned: "Human lives are at stake! The risk of helicopter rides is too high, please think carefully about it!"
Hiroki Tsuji waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all, and pointed to the cabin with a smile: "It just so happens that I was stood up today, and it would be boring to go for a drive by myself. If you are really worried about my safety, why not let Inspector Megure and..."
He glanced through the crowd and his gaze stopped on Kogoro Mori.
Kogoro Mori understood what he meant, his face changed drastically, and he ran away.
Hiroki Tsuji thought of his old friend's fear of heights and laughed. He turned his eyes to Jiang Xia next to him and continued, "Let Inspector Megure and this new detective fly with me."
Jiang Xia: “…”…No, I don’t want to share a plane with this man who is destined to crash.
He looked dimly at Inspector Megure beside him.
Unexpectedly, Inspector Megure found this proposal acceptable. He was muttering in a low voice: "The helicopter is under strict supervision and it is impossible for it to be tampered with. Murakami Jō might be lying in ambush at the destination. I will have someone rush over now and provide close protection on the plane. It shouldn't be a big problem.
Jiang Xia: “…” No, it’s a big problem!
The police inspector looked unreliable. Jiang Xia sighed silently and looked at Hiroki Tsuji.
If you think about it, the way to avoid accidents is actually very simple, and there are many options.
—damage the plane, or damage the pilot.
If any one of the two is missing, today's trip will naturally be cancelled.
