Chapter 2490 2502 [Yes, it's mine]
The other side.
Ireland chased to the top of the building, but found that it was deserted - there was more than one entrance to the abandoned building. The guy who was standing on the roof and pushing the rocks was obviously very familiar with the terrain here. He quietly slipped away from another way while he was climbing the stairs.
Ireland cursed in his heart, he lowered his head to check the traces on the ground, tried his best to determine the direction the man left, and quickly chased after him.
The rooftop became quiet, but soon the silence was broken again. Following the sound of footsteps, two people from the detective agency arrived here.
"You're running really fast." It was unclear who Amuro Toru was talking to, and he also began to follow the trail. However, the rooftop was fine, but when he got downstairs, the accumulated dust decreased, and tracking quickly became difficult.
"I'll go over here and take a look." Amuro Toru hesitated for a moment between the two roads, then turned to Jiang Xia and said, "You go over there - if you find any traces of Edward or the murderer, don't act rashly, and send me a message immediately. By the way, be careful of sneak attacks."
The reliable high school detective nodded and turned away without any hesitation.
Of course, he did not forget to throw a ghost at Amuro Toru before leaving.
…
When a group of confident lone wolves split into two groups, then into three groups, and then into four groups.
On an old street near the gas station.
A figure slowed down his pace and stopped in front of a bar, panting.
Most of the buildings here have been abandoned, and the shops along the street are ghostly. The bar in front of me is also gray and looks like it has been closed for a long time.
But the figure who ran here went straight to the gate. He first looked back vigilantly, and when he saw that no one was chasing him, he quickly stepped forward and slipped into the bar.
"What the hell is that woman doing! She stood me up and didn't show up for the meeting, and she ran right next to the target."
Inumaru Taro wiped the sweat from his fake beard and cursed in his heart: "It's okay for her to approach the target without permission, which can be understood as part of the plan, but now that we are here, she didn't even take action - whether it was me hitting someone with my car or hitting someone with a rock just now, as long as she turned around and pushed, the target would have hit my attack. But what about her? She can only dodge along. This girl is too unprofessional!"
After leaning against the door to catch his breath, Inumarutaro stood up and went behind the bar.
This inconspicuous bar is actually a killer's base.
There was an unfinished puzzle hanging on the wall next to the bar. Inumaru Taro looked up at it, reached into his pocket, took out a puzzle piece, and pressed it hard into the puzzle on the wall.
Following a mechanical sound, a drawer suddenly popped out from the bar counter, which was originally an integrated whole.
There was a murder warrant in the drawer. Inumarutaro picked it up and flipped through it, stopping at one of the pages.
He stared at the target photo on the page, frowned and compared it: "I always feel that the foreigner just now looks different from the one in the photo. Could we have recognized the wrong person?"... But is there really another guy in the world with eyebrows in such a strange shape?
——According to the plan, he and Maya Tachibana should meet here first, and then go to the location mentioned in the letter of commission, "Mouri Detective Agency", to ambush the target and wait for an opportunity to murder.
However, halfway through the journey, Inumarutaro suddenly received a message from Maya Tachibana - the woman said that she met her target on the road.
Inumaru Taro was slightly stunned by this wonderful coincidence, and then he felt that he had saved a lot of trouble. But when he wanted to communicate the details, there was no response from Tachibana Maya.
"That woman wouldn't want to complete the task alone and pocket the commission alone..."
As he was muttering, he suddenly heard a low chuckle from behind him: "Is this how you talk about your partner behind his back?"
"?!" Inumaru Taro was startled and turned around suddenly, only to find that Maya Tachibana had appeared behind him without him noticing.
"You bastard!" Inumaru Taro was frightened by this elusive woman and became angry. "If you hadn't just now..."
"Bang——"
With the intimate sound of fists hitting each other, Inumarutaro was knocked away by a punch and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Be more polite when speaking to your companions. The word 'asshole' is too rude." Tachibana Mayo stepped over him, picked up the list of commissions next to her, glanced at it casually, and threw it back into the drawer.
Although she didn't say anything about the unsuccessful assassination attempt, she was obviously concerned about it.
"Just take a good rest." She touched the necklace pendant hanging on her chest and pulled it with skillful movements, pulling out a piece of tough steel wire from it.
The silk thread flashed a cold light in the dark bar. Maya Tachibana examined this useful weapon and smiled coldly: "Leave the rest to me."
She ignored the half-dead man on the ground and turned and walked out.
…
As the crisp sound of heels faded away, the bar became quiet again.
But the silence didn't last long. Soon, there were two light knocks on the door, and after a pause, someone pushed the door open with a creak.
Jiang Xia walked in, playing with a baton.
The spring-loaded door closed behind him, and Jiang Xia glanced around, his sight quickly stopping behind the bar. He walked to the front of the counter, leaned on the edge of the table and looked inside, and saw an unconscious young man lying inside.
"Fainted?" Jiang Xia sighed, "He's really weak."
He put the baton back into his pocket with great regret, then leaned against the table and jumped over the bar, picking up the few traces of murderous aura scattered around the man with a dull look.
When he stood up, Jiang Xia's eyes paused and he saw the pop-out drawer on the bar and the assassination commission concerning Kogoro Mouri in the drawer.
"Since we have this information, I think this is the transfer station for those killers." Jiang Xia tapped on other parts of the bar counter with his fingers, listening to the empty echo, "There are other secret compartments here."
When Jinpei Matsuda heard this, he stopped tidying up the smell of smoke and murderous aura, and relied on his ghost's ability to penetrate models to squeeze in and take a look around.
It soon figured it out and pointed to the puzzle on the wall to Jiang Xia: This is the switch that triggers the secret compartment. Each empty puzzle piece corresponds to a different drawer - the killers came here with their own puzzle pieces, and after pressing the puzzle into the corresponding space, they can open the corresponding drawer.
"Hmm?" Jiang Xia's eyes stopped on the puzzle. "This is a good idea."
Jinpei Matsuda floated to the other wall and patted the painting hanging there.
Jiang Xia stepped forward and uncovered the painting, and saw a one-way mirror. Looking from this side, he could see the scene on the other side of the wall, which turned out to be another completely symmetrical bar - this side was used by killers, and the other side was used to receive customers.
