Chapter 3232 3244 [Empty Nester Belmode]
Tokyo.
A new clinic with dim lighting.
The curtains were closed, and under the desk lamp, a hand without disguise stretched out and flipped through a thick stack of newspapers.
Vermouth murmured softly: "Izu, Okinawa, Chiba..."
Where will the next place be?
She just wanted to get Wuzo away for a while, but now... why did this guy never come back?
"If Wu Zuo had been playing outside, it would be a relief, but the problem is that the kid took away all the core of my investigation..."
Thinking about Tokyo, which seemed particularly empty even though only a few people were missing, Vermouth sighed, and her whole body seemed to be a little haggard.
"in addition……"
Her eyes fell on some particularly detailed places.
"'Jiang Xia's lawyer friend'... this person who occasionally appears between the lines, could it be Curacao?" This discovery made Vermouth's heart tighten slightly, and she felt that everything was filled with unspeakable weirdness:
"Why did Curacao have to stay with Jiang Xia? I was indeed the one who facilitated their meeting in Izu. My purpose was to use her to lure Wu Zuo away...but what happened later?"
Why did they appear together again in these subsequent cases?
“Could it be that Curacao has some kind of Stockholm syndrome and doesn’t want to leave Uzo?”
This absurd thought flashed through his mind... and then because it was too absurd, Belmode silently dismissed it.
"Curaçao's ability is still guaranteed, and she is not someone with a fragile mind who can be manipulated at will, otherwise I would not dare to put her next to Uzo so easily."
“Let’s take a step back and say that even if she is really infatuated with Wuzo and is willing to follow him wherever he goes…but Curacao is Rum’s confidant, and he usually has a lot of tasks to do. She can’t possibly neglect her tasks for this. In short, the fact that the two of them have been together all this time is definitely not Curacao’s fault.”
"Since it wasn't her, then the person who facilitated these encounters could only be..."
Vermouth's eyes moved slightly and looked at the newspaper on her legs.
On the headline of the newspaper, there was a photo of a young detective - perhaps because Jiang Xia was looking at the camera when the photo was taken, this photo gave people a feeling that they were being watched by the person in the photo no matter which angle they turned.
“…”
After a brief look at each other, Vermouth reached out and silently turned the newspaper over, putting Jiang Xia's photo where it couldn't be seen.
"I'm afraid that after their first encounter, Uzo created the following series of 'encounters' through his observation and induction of Curacao... This is really scary. How did he do it?"
Although it may seem impolite to say this, but if you put yourself in Curacao's perspective... it's like being haunted by a ghost.
"Ah, it's a bit unfair to her when I think about it this way, but with Wuzo here, her missions to silence people should be done by others, so let's just call it even."
Vermouth rubbed his cheek with a smug look, thinking secretly: "For me, this period of time is enough for me to make some arrangements... Next, we just need to wait for Uzo to come back with the two children, and then we can move forward with the plan."
but……
Looking at the black and white newspapers in front of her, Vermouth's heartbeat slightly accelerated: Is Uzo's return a good thing or a bad thing?
Intellectually, she hopes that everything will return to normal as soon as possible so that she can capture Shirley more easily, but emotionally...
Thinking about his experiences in Curacao, which might very well be his own experiences in the future, an organization cadre tapped the newspaper lightly and fell into deep thought for a moment.
…
No matter what, what is coming will come.
As soon as she arrived at school the next day, Vermouth saw Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko coming to school together.
The two female high school students also saw "him". Facing this mild-tempered school doctor, they stepped forward to say hello, and then happily chatted about their travel experiences as before.
While Vermouth was listening to the narration of two high school girls as if she was listening to a ghost story.
The other side.
The detective who is good at skipping classes also chose to skip classes today.
Jiang Xia did not go to school. Instead, after breakfast, he went straight to the detective agency.
——After being away for so many days, when I returned to Tokyo, of course I had to come here first to see if there were any rare cases refreshed in my mailbox, and by the way, see if I could run into Boss Amuro and get some of the coffee-flavored murderous aura that I haven’t seen for a long time.
The bad news is that after opening the door, the room was empty and Toru Amuro was not there.
But the good news is that as soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xia saw two small balls of high-quality murderous aura falling to the ground.
——The murderous aura with the flavor of iced black tea and the murderous aura with the flavor of coffee were lying quietly on the ground. It should be that when Hashimoto Maya, who was ordered by Usa to work as an assistant in the Amuro Detective Agency, came to sort out the mailboxes, she met Amuro Toru by chance. After a complicated psychological activity, the murderous aura was created.
This is not the first time.
Jiang Xia walked into the house familiarly, and asked the ghosts to take back the murderous aura and put it away familiarly. Then he made himself a cup of tea familiarly and began to read the letters of commission that Hashimoto Maya had sorted out by category.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any precious letter in here that could start a serial murder case.
But the good news is that just as I finished reading the letter, the wind chimes on the door rang - Amuro Toru came.
Jiang Xia looked up and greeted him with some surprise, but he was not surprised at all: As everyone knows, the Amuro Detective Agency is full of surveillance, sensors, eavesdropping devices and the like. Once someone enters, Amuro Toru will quickly notice it and receive the message.
So before, the chance encounter between iced tea and coffee was not entirely a chance encounter.
At this moment, Jiang Xia's encounter with the boss was of course full of deliberateness.
But Jiang Xia didn't point it out, and Amuro Toru certainly wouldn't say it. The busy undercover just greeted him casually, "It seems like I haven't seen you for a few days. Why did you go out for so long?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "I encountered a lot of unexpected situations, so the time I was out was much longer than expected."
Toru Amuro was not surprised at all, and even felt that it was an extraordinary performance for Jiang Xia to come back in just a few days.
Compared to this, he was concerned about another thing: "What's going on with that female lawyer you met a few times?"
As Rum's subordinate and public security undercover, Toru Amuro, a dedicated intelligence officer, certainly knows who Lawyer Shirai is who has appeared several times beside Jiang Xia.
Toru Amuro: “…” Although this was not the first time that Curacao had approached Jiang Xia, this time, she seemed to have spent an unusually long time with Jiang Xia… Could it be that she had received some instructions from Rum?
