Chapter 2475 2487 [Familiar way of silencing]
The female boss who had just woken up opened the door in a daze, and happened to meet the gangster with tools outside the door.
After staring at each other for a moment, the experienced criminal reacted faster. He knocked down the civilian staff member in front of him with one blow, tied her up, asked her where she kept her money, and then began to search the house for money. Because her face was seen, he stabbed her a few more times before leaving, killing her on the spot.
Toru Amuro: "..."
Although this disaster is sympathetic, we have to admit that his current predicament was solved in this way.
"What good luck." The worry that had been hanging in the air for the past few days finally eased up. But then he felt something was wrong. "Why does this way of solving problems look so familiar..."
A shadowy code name jumped out of his mind, and Amuro Toru's eyes twitched, and his heart, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
He immediately opened his mailbox and carefully checked the inbox and trash folder of each email account...but he couldn't find any message.
…
"I must have thought too much." Amuro Toru had been thinking all the way until today. Seeing that everything around him was calm, he finally put his mind at ease. "Think about it carefully. Although home invasions and murders are not so common, they do exist. And if it was really that guy who did it, he should have come to my house a long time ago..."
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps approaching and a figure stopped in the corridor ahead.
Amuro Toru suddenly came back to his senses. At the same time, he heard a surprised greeting: "Boss?"
Toru Amuro: "...?"
He raised his head silently, and then saw his outstanding detective employee around the corner a few meters away.
“…”
For a moment, the tired worker wanted to turn around and leave.
But when he thought calmly, he realized that he had already encountered it, so he couldn't just pretend that he didn't see anything: he just felt that the detective employees involved in murder cases were a headache, and he didn't intend to really turn a blind eye to workplace bullying against a high school student.
Amuro Toru: "..." Of course, if I met him from behind, I could just pretend I didn't hear him. But this time, I met him from the front...
He had no choice but to stop the delivery cart in his hand and sighed tiredly: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Xia shook the bag in his hand and said, "I borrowed a uniform from this courier company when I solved the case yesterday. I just happened to come here to return it today."
Amuro Toru nodded, and suddenly he remembered something, and with a flash of inspiration, he lowered his voice with a serious face: "Don't talk to me when I'm working part-time in the future - I'm infiltrating to collect intelligence. You are too famous now, and it's easy to attract unnecessary attention to me."
Jiang Xia: "..." Although this is not completely wrong, I always feel that you are just making excuses...
"By the way, the boss seems to be in a good mood?" Jiang Xia muttered to Matsuda Jinpei who was floating beside him, "He doesn't even have the murderous intent anymore. Do you have any idea about this?"
Jinpei Matsuda thought seriously for a while, then shook his head helplessly: I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.
Jiang Xia looked at Amuro Toru for a few seconds, then sighed with regret and condemnation.
On the other side, Amuro Toru felt guilty and his conscience ached when he saw this. At the same time, he felt that he had underestimated Jiang Xia: Could this excuse, which he came up with on the spur of the moment, really fool a sharp detective like Jiang Xia?
He was about to change the subject abruptly, but at this moment, Jiang Xia glanced behind him from a distance, his eyes slightly fixed.
The next moment, this clingy employee actually took the initiative to say: "In that case, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Jiang Xia really left him and walked away quickly.
Amuro Toru looked at the corridor that became empty in the blink of an eye: "......?"
...There is a problem, a big problem! Rather than being persuaded to leave by him, Jiang Xia saw something just now, and then he took a step to chase after him.
So what did he see?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro, who had successfully persuaded people to leave, couldn't sit still anymore.
After hesitating for a moment, he handed the work in his hands to other colleagues and hurriedly chased after him.
…
Two hours ago.
Ayumi Yoshida tossed and turned in her soft little bed all night, still unable to decide whether or not to be a lackey, and her conscience was struggling violently.
Perhaps it was because staying up late reduced her immunity, or perhaps it was because she did not dodge in time when someone sneezed yesterday. Yoshida Ayumi only felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, and her throat began to ache.
When it was time to go to school in the morning, she failed to sit up successfully when the alarm clock rang.
Her mother noticed something was wrong, so she came over to take the child's temperature, who was running hot all over, then sighed and brought her some cold medicine.
"You don't have to go to school today. Mom has asked for leave for you." The mother touched her forehead apologetically. "I have something urgent to do this morning, so I won't be back until noon. You should go to sleep first. When you wake up, the cold medicine will take effect."
Ayumi Yoshida curled up in the quilt, nodded listlessly, and soon fell asleep again.
I slept in a daze for an unknown period of time when the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Yoshida Ayumi didn't answer the phone. It rang a few times and automatically switched to the voicemail. Yoshida's mother's recorded voice came out gently: "Hello, this is Yoshida's home. If you have anything to say, please leave a message after the 'beep' sound. I will contact you as soon as possible."
The phone then goes into recording mode.
However, the person on the other end of the phone said nothing and just hung up the phone silently.
…
The Yoshida family's apartment is not far away.
A man in a courier uniform, with his face covered by a rider's helmet, smiled grimly and put the receiver of the public phone back on the landline.
He then went back to his car to get a delivery box, tucked the box under his arm, and walked into the building in a pretentious manner.
This apartment is quite high-end and is equipped with automatic doors that require resident permission to open.
The courier recalled the information he had received, strode to the door, and pressed the doorbell of one of the households.
"Excuse me, is this Mrs. Inoue?" He leaned in close to the intercom and said in a professional and polite voice, "Here is your package. I'll bring it up to you now. Would you mind opening the door?"
"Oh, OK!" The resident did not doubt him and pressed the door button. "Thank you for your help."
The security gate, which was better than nothing, was easily bypassed. The courier entered the elevator, but instead of looking for Mrs. Inoue who opened the door for him, he went straight to another house.
When he reached the door, he was about to take out his tools, but before he did, he remembered the previous experience and the "courier" paused and pressed the doorbell instead.
A ding-dong sound rang out in the house.
Yoshida Ayumi rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed. After a moment of confusion, she successfully distinguished the sound of her doorbell and was immediately surprised: Could it be that her mother came back?
Thinking of this, she threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed, and trotted straight to the door.
