Chapter 276 The truth behind the flat tire. Please give me a monthly ticket.
The mermaid received Jiang Xia's instructions and swam into the trunk to take a look.
After a moment, she floated back, wagging her tail, and told Jiang Xia that there was indeed a little girl behind her.
As she spoke, the mermaid made a half circle with her little hand and placed it on top of her head, pretending there was a headband there.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Same body shape, same headband.
Ayumi Yoshida isn't really in their trunk...
Jiang Xia quickly recalled the conversation he had with Amuro Toru in the car just now, as well as the parking time when picking up wedding materials from various places. Then he realized that Amuro Toru only mentioned Matsumoto Kiyonaga and the organization's related tasks to him when he first set out.
After that, the two of them didn't continue talking about the organization - Toru Amuro didn't often bring up this topic.
As for Ayumi, she definitely hadn't been in the car since the starting point. She most likely climbed in when the car stopped next to Beika Park.
In other words, she didn't hear any problematic conversations.
...Great, this saves some brain cells from making up lies.
Next, as long as we get Ayumi out of the trunk, this matter should be resolved smoothly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed.
It seems that this time, there is no need to worry about whether to follow Amuro Toru to pick up murderous aura or follow Conan to pick up ghosts. Because Conan has no ghosts at all today... tui, the slacking god of death.
…
Jiang Xia did not directly tell Amuro that "there is someone in our trunk."
He looked at Amuro Toru, lowered his voice, and said, "When I was calling just now, I felt some noise."
Amuro Toru was startled, and understood what Jiang Xia meant. He looked around and took out the portable detection device that he had used once when he got on the car.
Jiang Xia watched his movements and did not stop him. A decent person would not carry such an instrument, but it was quite reasonable for a private detective to carry one with him, especially since there were two private detectives in the car. Even if Yoshida Ayumi saw it, she would not be able to have any strange thoughts later.
Toru Amuro originally just did a casual test after hearing Jiang Xia's question, but when he turned on the instrument, the signal light suddenly changed - there was actually an unknown signal source nearby.
The position cannot be measured very accurately, we can only see that it is at the back.
When Amuro Toru saw the reaction of the instrument, his face changed slightly: he had checked it once when he left the wedding company just now, and there was no problem at that time, but now there was suddenly an extra transmitter...
This makes it impossible not to come up with conspiracy theories - for example, the person who secretly installed the transmitter on the car was targeting him or Jiang Xia.
The car was still running on the one-way street and there was no place to stop.
Toru Amuro took the steering wheel, looked at Jiang Xia, silently pointed behind him, and asked him to go and check the situation.
Jiang Xia could only pretend to be serious. He pushed the flower tray behind him to the side, unbuckled his seat belt, and turned to the back seat, observing the row of worn-out seats from a close distance.
Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.
Given the noise level of this car, the person in the trunk may not be able to hear the voices speaking in the front.
But judging from the phone call Conan made to him just now, these naughty kids from the Junior Detective League knew that "Jiang Xia and Ayumi were in the same car."
So Jiang Xia thought that Yoshida Ayumi might have seen him from somewhere...
Without the obstruction of the flower disk and the closer distance, Jiang Xia found a gap almost immediately after landing on the back seat.
He leaned in for a closer look, and unexpectedly there was a pair of big watery eyes peeking at him.
The two sides looked at each other, and the pupils of the child in the trunk began to tremble. A second later, Yoshida Ayumi's eyes rolled up, she lost consciousness, and fell in the trunk.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He silently moved closer to the gap, used his ghost's night vision to take a look inside, and found that the person lying inside was indeed Ayumi Yoshida.
...Is he that scary? Of the three kids, Yoshida Ayumi was the one who was least afraid of him.
Children's feelings are really unreliable. Jiang Xia sighed and looked back at Amuro Toru: "There is someone in the trunk. I just saw an eye."
Toru Amuro tightened his grip on the steering wheel and couldn't help but look back.
He originally wanted Jiang Xia to look for a transmitter or a bug, but who would have thought that Jiang Xia would directly find a person.
At the same time, Toru Amuro thought of something, and his whole body suddenly tensed up as if he was pricked by a steel needle.
——In the past, all his spare tires broke in the trunk.
And now, Jiang Xia suddenly discovered that there was someone in the trunk.
After a lightning-fast, seemingly random but logical association, Toru Amuro suddenly had an idea - could it be that the thing that had been hiding in the trunk and gnawing at his spare tire, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, was actually a person? !
The "tire chewer in the trunk" is a behavior that is out of common sense, incomprehensible, and difficult to control, and it always easily arouses fear in humans.
And in a sense, compared to all kinds of creatures with sharp teeth, humans are actually the most dangerous. Especially a person who can tear his tires with sharp teeth.
...Wait, the sharpness of the teeth that could chew through the spare tire is obviously beyond the scope of human beings. However, since he is a human, perhaps he just used a tool that looks like teeth...
Amuro Toru's thoughts were like a string of rapidly flashing sparks, but his face was as calm as water. He held down the gun hidden in his ribs and began to look for a parking spot, while reminding Jiang Xia: "Move away, don't get too close to the back seat."
Jiang Xia saw his actions and thought of the weak, pitiful and innocent Ayumi Yoshida who was fainting in the trunk: "...It's okay, judging from his eyes, he looks like a child, probably a kid who got in by mistake."
"Child..." When Toru Amuro heard this key word, he suddenly remembered the little boy who attacked him in the hotel not long ago. In a flash, several key words that made him headache were not controlled by reason and merged without authorization.
His expression suddenly became more solemn, and his tone was more urgent than before: "Come back, get out of the back seat!"
Last time, the kid was able to give people an anesthetic injection, but this time, no one knew what he was going to inject... And the mysterious kid always came and went without a trace, but this time he just happened to stay in the trunk and was seen by Jiang Xia. I always felt that Jiang Xia was like those innocent citizens in horror movies who saw something they shouldn't have seen and were about to be silenced...
Jiang Xia: “……?”
Although he didn't understand why Toru Amuro reacted so strongly to the fact that there was a child in the trunk, he paused for a moment and eventually returned to the passenger seat with the idea of just following the instructions if he didn't understand.
