Chapter 3: Call the Model Worker
Under Gin's gaze, Jiang Xia walked to the Porsche and handed over Miyano Shiho's wallet.
When he withdrew his hand, he hooked his fingers nonchalantly, stealing a little of the murderous aura hanging on Gin.
If possible, Jiang Xia would also like to pick more.
But you can't just grab a lot of murderous aura. If you want to take it all, you need to meet certain conditions. Otherwise, you can only collect the little bit that naturally overflows.
In this case, the amount you can get by just hooking your fingertips is about the same as that you can get by just stretching out your hand, but the latter may be shot on the head by the vigilant Gin, which is not cost-effective.
…
When Gin took the wallet, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia's fingers moving out of the corner of his eye, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Every time Jiang Xia handed something to him, he would hook his hand like that when he took it back.
The previous few times, Gin had also been secretly alert.
But later, as it happened more and more times, he guessed that it was some kind of uncontrollable physical reaction, just like a lame person who can't help but limp when walking. Jiang Xia should be the same - after all, he had such a deep cut on his left wrist, and a delicate part like the hand is difficult to recover after an injury.
Gin briefly checked the wallet and handed it to the car, asking the owner of the wallet to check if there was anything wrong - when Miyano Shiho saw Jiang Xia just now, he had already rolled down the car window.
Miyano Shiho is a genius scientist in the organization, codenamed "Sherry".
...In the future, after taking poison and shrinking, she will probably change her name to "Haihara Ai".
Shirley is a quiet person. But this time, she was not hiding in the car to be mysterious. It was because she sprained her ankle when she was pushed down by the robber, so it was difficult for her to get out of the car.
The bodyguard was some distance away from her at the time, and his reaction speed was worthy of the title of cannon fodder - by the time the bodyguard came to his senses, the bag snatcher who passed by had already run away.
Losing the money is not a big deal, but the wallet contains Shirley's various documents, as well as the institute's access card, which must not be leaked.
The situation was urgent, but fortunately the organization would drop some information every now and then... The bodyguards were very experienced and they took out their cell phones and called Gin immediately.
When you have problems, you can always go no wrong by looking for model workers.
After hearing what happened, Gin remembered that Jiang Xia was familiar with this type of neighborhood, so he went to find Jiang Xia.
...I didn't expect Jiang Xia to solve the case in seconds. This saved a lot of trouble and was much more efficient than their staking out to find someone.
…
When Shirley was looking through the documents in her wallet.
Jiang Xia secretly pinched the fresh murderous aura he had just picked to prevent it from running back to its original owner.
On the surface, he reported very seriously:
"The bag snatcher is called Yamada Satoshi. He has no fixed job and makes a living by doing odd jobs and stealing and robbing. Two years ago, he rented a haunted house nearby at a low price, so he often moves around in this area. I don't think he came here for the information, but just wanted to steal money."
This sounds like an excuse for the bag snatcher.
But soon, Jiang Xia made it clear that he did not mean that:
"He's at 2-chome 21-banchi 305 now. He'll probably be unconscious for half an hour. He's pretty heavy, and it would be too conspicuous to carry him all the way here, so I didn't bring him here... If you're worried, you can stop by there on your way and take him back for interrogation."
Gin nodded without praising or criticizing.
Jiang Xia did not kill the man immediately, which could be considered as a well-thought-out decision - since the bag snatcher was a habitual criminal in this area, there might be someone among the passers-by who witnessed the robbery who knew him.
If a bag snatcher were suddenly found dead on the spot today, then "Shirley" who was just robbed by him might be linked to this murder case and cause trouble - after all, Shirley is a beautiful mixed-race girl with a unique temperament, and you can remember her for a long time after just one look.
Gin: “…” However, even so, anyone who has stolen the organization’s secrets must die.
Thinking of this, Gin gave Jiang Xia a task: "Keep an eye on him these few days and make sure he dies unexpectedly within a week..."
“Ahem.”
Shirley in the car suddenly cleared her throat.
Although the expression is euphemistic, the meaning is very clear: change someone.
“……” Gin frowned and bit the cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Xia always feels that the model worker comrade has the words "Women are always troublesome" on his lips.
But in the end, Gin swallowed his words back.
...The wishes of a precious genius scientist like Shirley are still worth considering. Besides, this is not a big deal.
Gin then took out his cell phone, sent a message, and selected other tools.
Then he looked up at Jiang Xia: "It's okay, you can go back."
"Okay." Jiang Xia nodded, turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Shirley suddenly called him and handed him a bag from the car.
Jiang Xia recognized the contents of the bag at a glance.
tonic.
It’s good for the brain, but very bitter.
Shirley made it herself, and it's the only one of its kind in the world. She likes to keep some of this stuff in her car, and she had mailed it to Jiang Xia separately before, but Jiang Xia refused to accept it.
————
Jiang Xia actually doesn't hate Miyano Shiho.
Judging from the little memory that was analyzed, Jiang Xiatongzhi also had no resentment towards her.
——In the car accident that Jiang Xia’s parents encountered, when the truck ran over them, the couple and Shirley were in a dangerous state of being crushed into human meat patties.
At that time, the couple suddenly pushed Shirley out of the crushing range, which delayed her escape.
But in fact, judging from the footage of the car accident at that time, even if there was no "pushing Shirley" action, it would still be difficult for them to escape because of their position at the back.
——It was more like a targeted murder than an accident.
So this matter actually cannot be blamed on Shirley.
However, not blaming her does not mean that one must stick close to her and maintain a good relationship with her - as far as I can remember, before the car accident, although Shirley and Jiang Xiatongzhi knew each other, they were not familiar with each other and did not have much in common.
Jiang Xia felt that this kind of relationship was pretty good and there was no need to go further - Shirley was a core member of the organization, and there would be no shortage of troubles and troublesome people around her, and Jiang Xia was just an unlucky psychic without a ghost... He just wanted to maintain a peaceful life now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia lowered his head, looked at the pretty and lovely Shirley in the Porsche, and the beautifully packaged but not cute supplements in her hand, and did not reach out to take them.
Just politely declined: "No need to do that, you are too polite."
Shirley's hand holding the bag stiffened slightly.
After a pause, she withdrew her hand expressionlessly, threw the medicine bag back on the car seat, folded her arms across her chest, and turned her head away.
...Then he turned back worriedly.
Her eyes paused on the wrist guard on Jiang Xia's left hand, then quickly moved away and spoke in a cold voice:
"I heard from Dr. Fenghu that you didn't make your follow-up appointment on time - the next appointment is on the 23rd, remember to go."
"Dr. Fudo" is a doctor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Beihua Pharmacy Hospital.
When Gin, who was standing next to him, heard this, he looked back and forth between Jiang Xia and Shirley.
He had never thought that there was anything wrong with Jiang Xia. When he suddenly heard the word "doctor", he realized that this useful peripheral member had not yet recovered.
Gin said in a deep voice: "We don't need a time bomb that could die at any time. If one day you are unable to perform the mission due to your mental state, we are in need of materials for human experiments."
"..." Jiang Xia glanced at the increasing murderous aura on him, nodded with bright eyes, "I know."
Gin didn't say anything more.
He did think Jiang Xia was a useful subordinate, but he was just useful, not irreplaceable. So for Shirley's sake, it was enough to remind her to "seek medical treatment in time."
…
After retrieving Shirley's bag, Gin and Vodka returned to the car, and the three of them left quickly.
Jiang Xia pretended to watch them leave for a while.
As soon as the black Porsche turned the corner, Jiang Xia turned around and walked straight towards his motorcycle.
In the past, he might have stayed for a while and searched carefully in the places where Gin had stayed to see if there was any additional murderous aura dropped.
But since last week, Gin is no longer his only hope to activate his abilities.
That’s right, now Jiang Xia has a new goal.
She is the recently popular youth idol and all-round artist - Yoko Kinoshita.
Jiang Xia went out today, actually planning to go find Kinoshita Yoko.
But halfway through, he was pulled away by Gin to be a tool.
...Fortunately, the matter was resolved quickly and there was no need to put off the important matter until next time.
…
The story of replacing the "gold finger activated spare tire" started last week.
At that time, Jiang Xia was on his way home from school. When he passed by an appliance store, he casually glanced at the display TV in the window and stopped.
——On TV, Yoko Kinoshita’s cooking show is being broadcast.
Jiang Xia saw that around her wrist was a translucent, crystal bracelet-like object.
The "bracelet" was moving slightly, and a human shape could be vaguely seen.
Jiang Xia recognized it immediately: this trembling thing was actually the "ghost fetus" he had been looking for for a long time.
...But it's much smaller than a normal ghost fetus.
A normal one would be about the size of two hands put together. But this one was exceptionally small... probably because it was just an embryo when it died.
But it’s already very good.
Ghost fetuses are the best medium for psychics to exert their power, and even in the past, they were rare and sought-after items. Without them, a psychic would be as miserable as a summoner with 0 summonable creatures.
And if you have it...
After a year, Jiang Xia was relieved and moved when he finally saw the ghost fetus.
...The god of luck has not left.
He is still himself, the smart and handsome European emperor.
…
Jiang Xia recalled the ghost fetus on TV and soon came to where he parked his motorcycle.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The technological progress in this world is very erratic, sometimes advancing, sometimes regressing, with no regular pattern.
At present, Jiang Xia uses a most common 3G mobile phone.
He got on his motorcycle, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the phone: "I just had something to do, I'll be there right away."
An excited voice faintly came from the phone: "Okay, big brother!"
Jiang Xia didn't say anything else, hung up the phone, put on his helmet, and sped away.
