Chapter 297 I’m not bald!
After doing all this, Sawai gave a determined sneer and turned to leave the villa.
Other people's previous comments about him were very realistic - he was indeed a playboy who was always successful in picking up girls.
However, Asami Endo was immune to his attacks.
Manabu Sawai fought and failed again and again, but he kept fighting and was unwilling to give up, so he came up with a "clever trick" - he would set a fire with an alibi, and then take the opportunity to rush back to save the beauty, making Asami Endo cry and throw herself into his arms.
…
Jiang Xia was caught off guard and tricked by his boss. He couldn't say anything, so he could only secretly decide to let the ghost increase its efforts to plucking Gin bald next time, while continuing to try to return to Tokyo.
When we finally got back to Beika Town, it was already late at night.
Jiang Xia walked out of the station, stretched to relieve the stiffness in his back and waist after sitting all day, then found a taxi and planned to go home to catch up on some sleep.
When the car stopped at a red light, Jiang Xia looked out the window casually and suddenly found that the sky a few blocks away was an abnormal, fiery color.
"...Fire?" A word popped up in Jiang Xia's mind.
Then he suddenly remembered another thing that might be related—that party of Asami Endo.
Previously, according to Jiang Xia’s mental search, “Ami Endo + real-life reasoning game”, the search yielded no results.
But now, suddenly there was an additional keyword "Asami + fire", which made him vaguely think of a case.
…From memory, it would be a case without murderous intent, and not necessarily involving ghosts.
However, just because there was no murderous aura in the original world line doesn’t mean there is no murderous aura now.
It is hard to expect a man who can save a beautiful woman by setting fire to her husband to value human life and abide by the law. In other words, once the truth of the arson is discovered by a detective, the arsonist may not mind silencing the innocent detective who exposed his conspiracy in public...
Jiang Xia pointed to the fire and said to the driver as if nothing had happened: "Drive over there and take a look."
…
The driver also seemed to be a gossiper.
Reminded by Jiang Xia, he turned his head and saw the fire in the distance. His originally tired eyes suddenly brightened and he quickly turned over. Soon he stepped on the speeding line and flew to the side of the fire.
Jiang Xia got out of the car and saw a two-story villa with a sloping roof burning fiercely.
The group of people who attended the birthday party had already returned from the KTV. Sawai stood at the door with a grim expression. He didn't expect the fire to be so fierce, and he didn't dare to take the risk of his "heroic plan to save the beauty".
Mao Lilan was also here. She first shouted Endo Asami's name nearby with everyone else, but couldn't find anyone. She could only guess that Endo Asami was still sleeping in the house.
Mao Lilan remembered how the other person had just taught her how to bake lemon pie, and suddenly clenched her fists, intending to rush into the living room and pull the person out.
At this time, Conan next to her pulled her and handed her a helmet.
This can protect the head - Conan knew that he couldn't stop her, so he decided to die together and rushed into the fire to save people, and the helmet could at least provide some protection.
Ran Mouri was stunned when she saw the helmet in Conan's hand, but she quickly understood what he meant and reached out to take it.
However, before he could get it, a hand suddenly came in from the side and snatched the helmet away.
The two were startled and turned around at the same time: "Jiang Xia?!" Why are you here again! No, why are you here?
Jiang Xia held the helmet, recalled Mao Lilan's expression just now, and quickly revealed the same solemn expression as hers.
Then, before the two classmates could react, he put the helmet on his head and ran into the fire through the open door.
The heat that seemed to be able to burn a person swept over in an instant, and the leaping flames were startled by the wind caused by Jiang Xia's running, shaking and licking over. After a few seconds, they were all pushed out by a layer of invisible illusory aura and turned into a warm airflow.
Jiang Xia raised his hand to fan himself, and glanced at the ghosts of his parents next to him.
Every ghost fetus has the opportunity to awaken certain skills when signed by a psychic, and in this environment, the parent ghost is just the right professional match - it can prevent fire.
Parent ghosts can create a circle of isolation from high temperatures around their bodies.
If more murderous aura is fed in, the area can be expanded further to protect clothes, hair, and even people next to the main body.
When Jiang Xia first ran into the villa, he did not activate his skills immediately. He wanted to see if he could withstand this kind of scientific fire with his body.
As a result, the person was temporarily fine, but the hem of his clothes was unfortunately burned by the flames.
After he realized this, he hurriedly put out the flames, then subconsciously raised his hand to touch his head, which was smooth and round... Jiang Xia was startled at first, then he remembered that he was wearing a motorcycle helmet, and it was the helmet that was bald, not him.
Jiang Xia heaved a sigh of relief immediately, and did not continue to provoke the fire. He activated his skills to prevent the fire from rushing in, and ran out naked... After all, his clothes were not fireproof, and there was no helmet covering him.
…
After activating the skill, he ran a few meters along the corridor in the suddenly comfortable environment and kicked open the door of the living room next to him.
Asami Endo was lying on the living room floor.
It has been quite some time since she accidentally drank the sleeping pills provided by Sawai, and Asami Endo has actually regained some consciousness.
She wanted to stand up from the scalding ground, but she had no strength at all. She was desperately wondering whether she should find her cell phone and write a suicide note. However, at this moment, the door next to her suddenly opened, and a person appeared in front of her against the background of flickering flames.
Although she was wearing a helmet, Asami Endo still recognized her: This is Jiang Xia!
Her heart was suddenly filled with joy, and the despair just now suddenly disappeared. Her mind was not clear and scenes emerged one after another: a romantic fire scene, a romantic hero saving a beautiful girl, a romantic princess hug... The scene jumped to a church with a man and a woman in a white wedding dress and black suit hugging each other. Then it jumped again to a yard under the sunset, with a family of four sitting side by side on a swing. Well, it would be best if the children were a boy and a girl, and the names might as well be the hero and heroine in her novel...
In the fire scene, tears of emotion and joy welled up in Asami Endo's eyes. She stretched out her hand weakly towards the door, feeling that at this moment she should say "Come and save me" like a princess waiting for a warrior.
Jiang Xia squatted down like a knight and grabbed her hand.
Before Asami Endo could remember the feeling, she was suddenly lifted into the air - Jiang Xia grabbed her hand and naturally exerted force, then pulled her up and threw her onto his shoulder, holding her up steadily like a bag of rice.
