Chapter 2392 2404 [Alliance]
The painter couldn't help but raise his chin, a little proud. "Of course it's real. Don't underestimate the materials I have accumulated. In fact, I happened to encounter many of the cases I just mentioned. That's why I think that puppet is destined to be with me."
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and when he looked at him again, his eyes became slightly different.
He took out his business card: "Although I should have given it to you last time, I'm worried that you didn't save my contact information..."
"I saved it." The painter gave him a meaningful look, "You are no worse than my puppet."
Jiang Xia said sternly: "If you find any abnormalities around you that may be related to a murder case, you must tell me in time. Human life is at stake. I will do my best to stop it."
The painter who was about to reach out to take the business card of a changed style: "..."
...Suddenly I don’t want to look for you anymore.
But on second thought, although this detective is good at solving cases, murders often happen in a flash - Jiang Xia has never successfully prevented a case in the past few times. In comparison, the detective's characteristic of being surrounded by murders is really tempting.
The painter's thoughts raced, and after a moment's pause, he stretched out his hand and took the new business card.
He looked down at it and frowned: "The design is not bad, but this style doesn't suit you."
Jiang Xia was a little curious: "What style should that be?"
The painter took out a smaller notebook from somewhere and quickly started to sketch: "This is it."
Jiang Xia took a glance and found that the paper seemed to be a bone-eroded and rugged door with sickles on both sides and black crow feathers on the corners. Even though it was just a rough draft, one could tell there was a spooky and strange feeling in it.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up: "..." Not bad, not bad, the black and white draft is so impactful, and when it is colored in black and red, and matched with the bone-like font, the effect will definitely be excellent. I have to trick him into drawing a few new business cards someday, and maybe I can get some work by the way - this painter also looks like he has a strong physique for events, and I think he is no worse than others.
but……
After a brief moment of daydreaming, the high school student, who was in a good mood, suddenly fell silent.
"Wait, if I remember correctly, I seem to be a detective." Jiang Xia touched his chin, his thoughts drifting, "People who come to see me are either successful people who follow the rules, or unlucky citizens who have been threatened and want to be safe. What if I use this kind of business card... and scare them away?"
"But this pattern does look good..."
After hesitating for a moment, the psychic had an idea.
"It's not a big problem. At worst, we can just make it and put it away. Even if we don't use it to send it to the client, we can give it to some people who won't be scared away by business cards, such as colleagues in the organization or the FBI. Business cards are most important for their functionality. Even if these people don't like the pictures on them, they can't just throw the business cards away. That would be very rude."
When the detective and the painter were having a great conversation.
Beside him, Shuichi Akai looked at the painter with a look that silently became much more serious.
Shuichi Akai: "..." The different cases encountered over the years "happen" to be closely related to each other?
...There can’t be such a coincidence in the world. There must be something fishy behind this “coincidence”.
While thinking, Shuichi Akai pressed his mobile phone, summarized all the cases he had just heard and wrote them into an email, then pressed send and sent it to his diligent colleague.
With those keywords, it should not be difficult to find relevant news about these cases. As long as their authenticity can be proved and the painter can be found on the edge of these cases, it will explain one very important thing - Kobayashi Seiji has been the focus of Uzo at least five years ago.
"I have been in contact with Wu Zo for five years... If this is true, I can definitely find a lot of information about this painter. If I'm lucky, maybe this person is an important subordinate of Wu Zo and has many clues about him, just like vodka and gin."
Akai Shuichi thought carefully: "But there is a question here-why did Kobayashi Seiji take the initiative to expose this information?"
"The best case scenario is that 'that person' was not aware of my presence, so he didn't know I could hear these words."
However, thinking of the close-up of his own death on the painter's paper and the many attacks he encountered today, Shuichi Akai silently ruled out this speculation.
"It should be another possibility." Akai Shuichi thought to himself, "Usa wants to achieve a certain purpose through the painter. For this purpose, he doesn't mind letting the painter reveal some information that he thinks is irrelevant."
"As for that purpose..."
Shuichi Akai's gaze moved and fell on Jiang Xia, who was attracted by the design of the business card.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
...The organization version of Moriarty is really interested in Tokyo Holmes. In addition to the murders that are usually messed up around Jiangxia, the information brought by the painter today is probably also part of Uzo's game.
Although Bourbon, the undercover agent, provides extra protection for Jiang Xia, compared with this busy man who works countless jobs a day, Uzo's pervasive infiltration is obviously more skilled.
"If this continues, let alone protecting Jiang Xia, Bourbon might fall into the hands of 'that person' one day. For a 'director' who is good at controlling people's hearts, it is not too difficult to see through people's true nature. It would be fine if Bourbon didn't have much contact with him, but if he had too much contact... it would be very dangerous for the undercover agent."
Shuichi Akai was a little worried about the safety of his undercover colleague: "We have to find a way to remind him. Of course, it would be best if we could form an alliance with Bourbon, and then we can work together inside and outside to find a way to get more information about Uzo."
As the work increased one by one, Shuichi Akai organized his thoughts and began to prioritize his future actions with great optimism.
…
Inspector Megure didn't notice that some detectives were slacking off nearby.
He turned around and saw Jiang Xia talking to the painter, and thought that the detective was helping the police find clues from that tough bone, so Inspector Megure quickly withdrew his gaze with relief and continued with his own efforts.
He looked at the forensic police officer: "Has the cause of death been confirmed?"
The police officer nodded: "It's cyanide poisoning."
Shuichi Akai came to his senses, glanced over here, and secretly paid attention to the case in order to predict the various variables that might arise.
He was not surprised to hear the cause of death: not to mention the painter's death painting full of prophecies and warnings, the cause of death can be roughly determined from the appearance of the corpse - the body will lose color quickly after death, but the nails and lips of the corpse in front of him not only did not turn white, but instead showed a bright cherry red. This is undoubtedly one of the common symptoms of cyanide poisoning.
