Chapter 259: Two Detectives, Only One Left
As a part-time detective who has been involved in many murder cases, Toru Amuro stared at the pile of things and frowned slightly.
——If those tools can be barely explained as game props for the Mysterious Journey of Izu, then the photo with a red cross is too strange.
Considering that he was carrying out a mission for the organization, Toru Amuro temporarily suppressed his doubts and continued to search for the virus "Dark Night Baron" in the host's room.
However, after a quick and silent search, Toru Amuro discovered that there was no information carrier in the room that could contain the virus. He even cracked open the safe in the hotel room, but still found nothing.
...Does the organizer carry it with him?
While making guesses, Toru Amuro restored the host's room to its original state.
Then he left the room and went to the second floor, staring at the host in the hall below through the gap in the railing.
The organizer was chatting with other participants and looked like an ordinary participant trying hard to identify the organizer.
Amuro Toru looked for a while and gradually felt something was wrong - he didn't see Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia had promised him before that she would be responsible for attracting the attention of other participants.
Now, most of the participants were in the hall, but Jiang Xia was slacking off somewhere...
There is a problem.
Jiang Xia is not that kind of person.
He takes his work very seriously and would never stand up his teammates in front of them. Unless...
Amuro Toru's thoughts raced, and he suddenly remembered the obviously opened package of medicine in the host's room, and the universal room card in the luggage. Oh, and the "Night Baron" clothes should have been worn once and then stuffed back into the luggage...
This string of information made Toru Amuro suddenly guess something.
He suddenly stood up, walked quickly back to the elevator, and prepared to go upstairs.
…
A little earlier in time.
After hearing from Kiri Tengu about how Toru Amuro broke into someone else's room, found the Dark Night Baron cosplay costume in the host's luggage at the speed of light, and brute-forced his way through the game, Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.
Although Toru Amuro does have detective attributes, if you think about it carefully, detective is just his part-time job. He is a spy and breaking into houses is his specialty.
By the way, Toru Amuro and the host, the two guys who broke into other people's rooms, were lucky enough not to bump into each other.
Otherwise, if they suddenly met at the door of a room, Jiang Xia's mission would basically fail, and there would be no chance of recovery, unless he immediately took off Uzo's vest and showed it to Bourbon.
——As for strangling Jiang Yuan Shi Nan to death with his own hands, Jiang Xia refused. For a serious psychic who prefers stability, this option is not included in the question.
However, even if Toru Amuro and the organizer did not collide directly, Jiang Xia still felt that the situation was a bit uncertain.
Toru Amuro's reasoning ability and ability to analyze clues should not be underestimated. Now he has even searched the organizer's base camp thoroughly and may have already targeted the organizer... If this goes on, for Jiang Xia, the ending will still be no mission and no ghost.
Jiang Xia began to think.
The purpose of Toru Amuro's mysterious journey to Izu is to find the "Dark Night Baron" virus.
But the actual situation now is that there is no virus here at all. Everything is just made up by the organizers.
In other words, once the organizer was caught and explained his motive for the murder, Toru Amuro's mission would naturally be completed.
...Since that's the case, why not everyone win? Let Amuro Toru, this semi-hardworking guy, have a good night's rest, while I can have a good night of picking up ghosts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia walked to his luggage unscrupulously and opened the hidden zipper.
A tube of non-toxic and harmless anesthetic was revealed inside.
In the past, he tried not to trip up the detectives who were saving people, mainly because of his conscience and to maintain a positive attitude with a clear conscience.
However, this time, Jiang Yuan Shi Nan has been targeted by the organization and will be killed sooner or later. The organizer who is about to kill him is also a master of physical business warfare and has harmed many innocent opponents. In this case, it is better to let these two people shine for justice in the end...
…
While Jiang Xia was fiddling with his luggage, Huihara Ai picked up the kettle that Jiang Xia had placed on the ground, carried it into the bathroom, and rinsed it carefully again.
During this time, she heard a slight knock on the door. Looking back, she saw Jiang Xia went out and came back in less than a minute.
Haibara Ai withdrew her gaze with relief and continued washing.
When she walked back to the living room carrying a shiny kettle with absolutely no medicine residue, she was surprised to find Jiang Xia leaning on the sofa, looking like he was fast asleep.
Huiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment, put the pot aside, walked over and nudged him: "Jiang Xia?"
Jiang Xia had no reaction at all. He slept even more deeply than when he was unconscious, as if his soul had left his body.
This sudden sleep made Haibara Ai gradually panic.
When people panic, their imaginations start to expand, and the same goes for paranoia.
——Haibara Ai suddenly remembered that when Conan fell to the ground just now, she asked Jiang Xia what happened. Jiang Xia said that sleeping pills "maybe" were put in the water he drank.
At that time, because Jiang Xia's tone was relaxed and natural, Huihara Ai unconsciously ignored the word "maybe" which expressed uncertainty, and firmly believed that Jiang Xia had everything under control, and maybe even put the medicine in himself.
But now…
Could it be that Jiang Xia actually drank it accidentally, but he drank less, and because of his body size, his drug resistance was stronger than Conan, so he managed to hold on until now?
In that case, it wasn't Jiang Xia who drugged someone...and when it comes to such a sinister thing as "putting drugs in other people's pots", the first person that Haibara Ai thinks of is another member of the organization in the hotel.
Suddenly drugged her two companions, what did that person want to do?! ... Huiyuan Ai was nervous, thinking, is that person coming for her?
If this is true, and she continues to stay here, the people in the room may be in danger... Thinking of this, Haibara Ai's negative brain circuit of "self-sacrifice so as not to drag others down" was triggered again. She gritted her teeth and planned to leave the room first.
As a result, at this moment, the dead person lying on the sofa moved and suddenly sat up straight.
Haibara Ai was so frightened by this sudden action that she almost fell off the armrest of the sofa.
Jiang Xia reached out and picked her up, put her back on the ground, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, the sleeping pills should have been put there by the organizer, and have nothing to do with the organization - I don't want to get involved in today's matter. If someone asks about it afterwards, you can say that I drank the other half of the water in the cup, and I also slept all night."
"..." Huiyuan Ai suppressed her heartbeat that was about to fly away, and nodded stiffly and relievedly, "Yeah."
Then he watched Jiang Xia lean back on the sofa, and a second later, he returned to his previous sleepy state.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
The room was so quiet, and the sea breeze was howling outside the window, which sounded quite eerie.
Ai Haibara looked at the pitch-black window and unconsciously wrapped her coat tightly around her.
She looked around cautiously and felt that the situation in the room was relatively safe. Even if Jiang Xia didn't pretend to be asleep, no one else would notice him. So she went over and tried to wake him up to talk: "Have you guessed who the organizer is?"
