Chapter 296 Gin, please stop it. Please give me a monthly ticket O(∩_∩)O
Kudo Yusaku stared at the time displayed on the screen, quite surprised. How could he have been unconscious for so long?
...the smell of conspiracy.
Kudo Yusaku stood up quickly and walked out of the warehouse cautiously.
There was no one around, only some noisy noises coming from the front yard.
…
After some secret observation and investigation, Kudo Yusaku was surprised to find that everything had come to an end - half of the truth of the matter was revealed by Jiang Xia, and the rest was supplemented by the person involved, the fake Tarouchi Yoshifusa, who was then taken to the police station to take a statement.
The police left behind a few people to clean up the scene, and also to provide some protection for the Brazilian guy who could not speak Japanese and was very panicked.
Kudo Yusaku pushed up his sunglasses and was silent for a moment, realizing that his way of appearing to "complement the shortcomings of the little detective" was completely hopeless.
However, after a night, Yukiko should have calmed down a lot... Thinking of this, Kudo Yusaku could only choose another suitable time to appear - he appeared when someone tried to communicate with the Brazilian guy, but failed due to language barriers, and played the role of translator. As a novelist with a huge amount of talent points in terms of brain power, he speaks Portuguese very well.
Although it was not quite the same as what he had initially imagined, later on, after observing Yukiko's expression, Kudo Yusaku realized that this method seemed to have achieved the effect he wanted in a subtle way...
…
After scaring off Keiko Yuuchi's murderous intent, Jiang Xia prepared to have a good night's rest.
When the trains started running the next day, he went back to Tokyo to attend the second case. Although it was Yukiko Kudo who brought him here on a motorcycle, as Hiromi Yayouchi's childhood friend, she would probably listen to the will before leaving, as the will would not be announced until ten o'clock in the morning.
If Jiang Xia wanted his neighbor a…sister to take him home again, he might miss the real-life reasoning game that Endo Asami started at 11 o'clock. And then he would miss the ghosts and murderous aura that might appear along the way - if there really was a murder case, and then another detective solved the case, causing the leg-picking shikigami to fall off without regrets, and then wander off to another place...
In a densely populated city like Tokyo, this situation will undoubtedly increase Jiang Xia's workload in finding the ghost, and he may not even be able to find it.
So Jiang Xia got up a little earlier and caught the early bus.
He changed several modes of transportation and finally got on the Shinkansen.
I thought I could sleep all the way to my destination.
Unexpectedly, when we were about to enter Tokyo, the car stopped - the track ahead suddenly exploded.
No organization claimed responsibility for the incident. After following the police to investigate the scene, some media temporarily believed that it was a suicide or a targeted murder, because there was only a charred body at the scene, and there were also the remains of a briefcase that had been blown up nearby.
After hearing the news, Jiang Xia thought: Maybe this is actually the embodiment of Endo Asami's event constitution after she met him - for example, this is a murder case, and now he only needs to solve the case and find the murderer to pick up the ghost.
With this in mind, Jiang Xia clicked on the web page, checked the news photos, and focused on the legs of passers-by, trying to see who had a shikigami clinging to their legs.
Then he saw a man named Yin Changzhi carrying a bulging briefcase among the crowded passers-by in the photo.
Yin Changzhi was dressed in black and wearing a hat of the same color. He was located in an inconspicuous corner of the picture. His face was not photographed, leaving only half of his mysterious back - only half because the other half was blocked by a familiar man in black.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He was silent for a moment, looking at the photo, and his slightly expectant expression turned into a dull expression.
After a while, Jiang Xia turned off his cell phone, gave up the idea of rushing to the scene to pick up ghosts, continued to catch up on his sleep, and prayed that the road would be opened as soon as possible.
…
In a villa in Tokyo.
The birthday party featuring Asami Endo was held as scheduled.
Jiang Xia did not come, which made two of the participants slightly disappointed.
But now that I'm here...
The party was still held in a lively manner.
Ran Mao Li is helping Asami Endo in the kitchen.
Suzuki Sonoko sat at the table, looking at the group of college students in front of her, then listened to their conversation while rolling her eyes and silently taking a sip of her drink.
Except for her and Mao Lilan, everyone present was a member of the Toudou University Mystery Research Club.
They were originally a group of elegant and rational chosen ones, but when Suzuki Sonoko casually praised them during their business talk, saying "the seniors not only have good grades, but are also so talented", the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
First, the president of the reasoning laboratory, Manabu Sawai, praised her for her sweet mouth and good talk.
This is quite normal, but then, Vice President Hayasaka Tomoko suddenly launched an attack, saying that Sawai was the playboy who was best at capturing people's hearts with sweet words, and that he had played with countless girls in the past few years.
Sawai Manabu didn't want to talk about these things, so he immediately changed the subject. He first praised Endo Asami's latest novel for winning the "Newcomer Award", and then looked at another member next to him with a strong tea flavor: "What a pity, Morimoto, I heard that your work was shortlisted like Asami's, but unfortunately you still couldn't beat her in the end."
As soon as Endo Asami was mentioned, the topic suddenly became the same - one of the remaining two members lost to her in the tennis match, and the other lost to Endo Asami in the school beauty contest. In short, they were all defeated.
Suzuki Sonoko listened to the gossip in a disjointed manner, her thoughts wandering randomly. For some reason, she suddenly had an inexplicable premonition - senior Mami seemed to be in very dangerous situation.
Then she thought again, after all this, that woman actually dared to invite Jiang Xia to the party...
...No, that's not right. Jiang Xia will not attract any case.
It's mainly because he has bad luck, or he's too perceptive. He always unconsciously notices the outline of an event, then gets himself involved in it and tries to stop it... Yes, that must be the case!
Suzuki Sonoko took a big gulp of juice and suppressed the strange thoughts.
…
For some unknown reason, Asami Endo was much quieter than usual today, and her presence was relatively lower.
The others finished their meal and played cards for a while, and soon it was evening.
Just when they were about to go to KTV to sing as planned, they found that Asami Endo had fallen asleep on the sofa.
At the suggestion of the president Manabu Sawai, a group of people decided to let the tired Asami Endo have a good sleep. They went to KTV to sing first, and when Asami Endo woke up, she would definitely contact them.
After a group of people went out, Sawai Manabu made the excuse that he forgot to bring something and secretly returned to the living room.
He first set up a timed fire device, and then moved Asami Endo from the sofa to a place slightly closer to the corridor.
