Chapter 255 Gin's Mental Journey
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai said calmly: "I told Jiang Xia that I used to be a rich second-generation, but was later plotted against by people who wanted to fight for the family property. I just saw my former enemy nearby - my hair color is quite rare, and it is easy to be recognized if I appear like this, so I want to change my appearance."
Conan: “…”
Sounds so familiar.
Isn’t this the scene from the recent hit eight o’clock TV series?
Fortunately, Jiang Xia doesn't like watching TV...
No, this kind of excuse with so many loopholes would be hard to hide from Jiang Xia even if he hadn't seen the original version.
...It should be said that it's a good thing that Jiang Xia prefers to guess on his own when he encounters a problem, rather than digging into the root of the matter. Just like he had already guessed that Conan = Kudo Shinichi, but he never took the initiative to expose it.
From this point of view, Jiang Xia is quite considerate...
At the same time, after Haibara Ai finished speaking, she thought about it and felt that this reason was not bad.
I have to go and rehearse some words with Jiang Xia later, so as not to get caught later.
…
While the two children were whispering about a "big thing" that seemed very important but was actually useless.
Jiang Xia had completed the check-in procedures. He and Amuro Toru walked to a deserted place nearby, and the two briefly exchanged ideas about the reasons for participating in the mysterious journey to Izu.
Toru Amuro's purpose was indeed to investigate the "Dark Night Baron" virus, just as Haibara Ai had previously speculated.
Jiang Xia gave the superficial reason why he was here - a neighbor's friend happened to give him a spot, and the kid insisted on going out to play, and he was also interested, so he came along.
Although Jiang Xia's "Dark Shark" target this time, Jiang Yuan Shinan, was sitting in the hall and was destined not to survive this "Mysterious Journey to Izu".
But Jiang Xia was not worried that Toru Amuro would link the murder to him later.
First of all, Jiang Xia did not kill the person. He just went out with Conan and had a normal relaxing trip, and then he encountered a murder case normally.
Secondly, Amuro Toru may not know that Ehara Tokio is the organization's assassination target. Although the assassination of Ehara Tokio is not highly confidential, "not highly" does not mean "no" and such a list cannot be made public. Moreover, the organization wants to kill a large number of people. When Amuro Toru collects intelligence, he will definitely focus more on major events and big people, and there is no need to specifically look for information about Ehara Tokio.
To take a step back, even if Toru Amuro discovered that Tokio Ehara was the target of the organization, it would be difficult for him to regard this incident as "Jiang Xia's plan". He would only think that Tokio Ehara was unlucky.
After all, there have been many cases in the past where "during the mission, organization members or mission targets were suddenly involved in a passing murder case and died as a result."
The reason why Toru Amuro couldn't see Usa's "true face" was not because his imagination was worse than Gin's, but because he and Gin had different information.
At the beginning, after Jiang Xia became a Dark Shark diplomat, got the code name, and accepted the setting of "criminal planner" that Gin gave him without authorization, he also wondered why Gin had such an extraordinary imagination.
Later, Jiang Xia had nothing to do, so he thought about it carefully and felt that this seemed to make some sense.
——When he was not yet a formal member, Miyano Akemi defected. At that time, in order to avoid Gin's unreasonable fuss, Jiang Xia once used the Xiaobai puppet as a tool. Afterwards, in order to destroy the evidence, he pretended to strangle Xiaobai to death and twisted and folded the innocent "child" and stuffed it into his bag. In short, because of this incident, in Gin's eyes, he is far from a "good person with a conscience."
In addition, Gin himself is an intermittently suspicious person - when faced with various "coincidences", he often thinks about the real cause and effect behind them like a madman, and will not let go of any clues.
These two characteristics, plus the fact that during the assessment, Gin gave Jiang Xia the task of "assassinating a diplomat", and right after that, the diplomat's wife stabbed the target to death with a poison needle, and that lady had had an intersection with Jiang Xia before... this led to Jiang Xia inexplicably becoming a "crime script ghostwriter expert".
The various cases that came across later reinforced Gin's conviction in this speculation time and time again.
...And except for being occasionally suspicious, Toru Amuro does not meet any of the above necessary conditions.
So at least for a long time, I can safely take on cases near him without worrying about him thinking too much.
…
After hearing the whole story of Jiang Xia "helping the neighbor take the children out to play", Toru Amuro did not have too many doubts.
On the contrary, he was somewhat relieved: Jiang Xia seemed to have become more cheerful after gradually leaving the work of peripheral members. Making friends, being friendly to neighbors, traveling frequently... these are what people of this age should do.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but recall his youthful years in the police academy and his close friends at that time.
It’s a pity that all my good friends are dead now, and the one I was closest to died because of the organization.
...The evil Black Organization will throw them all into prison sooner or later.
…
In the lobby of Izu Princess Hotel.
As Jiang Xia was speaking, he paused slightly and was surprised to find that there was a hint of murderous intent in Amuro Toru.
And the quality is not low.
With the precedent of Gin, a long-term murderous aura supplier, Jiang Xia's eyes lit up subtly when he looked at Amuro Toru's bottle of wine, which had quite a bit of power.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the murderous aura did not have a clear target, by the time the ghosts floated over, the murderous aura that had just emerged had quickly dissipated.
The Mist Dog's attack was in vain. It hung in the air, flapping its wings in confusion, and could only fly back.
The mermaid was more aggressive. She circled Amuro Toru with her arms around him like a little supervisor for several times. After making sure that this man had no murderous intentions, she slapped him twice with her tail to vent her anger, and then swam back slowly.
Toru Amuro was unable to feel the mermaid's "attack".
Because of Jiang Xia's pause, he came back to his senses from his memories and saw Jiang Xia sighing very subtly. His spirits were a little lower than before, and he seemed disappointed about something.
Amuro Toru was startled, realizing that his expression might have been very bad when he was recalling the past. Jiang Xia might have thought that he was condemning him for not doing his job properly.
"I was just thinking about the mission." Amuro Toru calmly expressed that he didn't mind Jiang Xia going out for a trip, "It's nothing, go and do your thing."
However, Jiang Xia did not leave, but took the initiative to ask: "Do you need help?"
...Although it is not easy to get rid of the boss's murderous aura, he can at least attract some cases.
At present, according to Jiang Xia’s experience, every time he goes out and meets Toru Amuro, he picks up at least two ghosts.
This boss is like a randomly refreshed double experience card. When you meet him, your efficiency becomes higher.
