Chapter 325 The Thousand-Faced Witch
Jiang Xia hit Kujira Jing Dingxiong on the head with a stick, knocking the man who was sitting up back over, then stepped on him and skillfully started the knocking process.
Hattori Heiji was standing nearby with a gun in his hand. Perhaps he had been brainwashed by Hattori Heizo for too long. When he saw Jiang Xia doing something that was beyond his common sense, his first reaction was "I need to learn."
A second later, Hattori Heiji suddenly came to his senses. If he really did something like torture, his father would tear his head off. Oh, if his father saw this, he might leave the backstab camp... Then again, how come no one has reported Jiang Xia's habit? For a celebrity, this is a black spot.
Hattori Heiji silently condemned the professionalism of the media people, but he had no intention of recording a short video to expose Jiang Xia.
Anyway, Jiang Xia just saved him from a headshot from behind. And Hattori Heiji pressed his conscience, thinking that if he really did that, he would be like a villain who destroyed Jiang Xia just because he couldn't beat him... It was too tasteless, and he couldn't do it.
At the same time, in the cabin on the other side, Conan, who was looking around for information, vaguely heard a scream.
He was startled and subconsciously walked around, and found that when he reached the door, the screams became clearer.
The rhythm of this scream sounds so familiar...
Conan's eyes twitched and he quickly ran over to the sound.
As soon as I got out of the cabin, I saw Jiang Xia holding a baton and hitting someone very seriously.
Hattori Heiji stood a few meters away holding a dagger and a gun, looking like he wanted to stop it but didn't know how to start.
Conan: “…”
Why don't you go and hold him back? Why are you just watching?
…
Kujirai Sadao finally revealed some information.
He admitted that he was the robber that year and said that he had killed an accomplice before, but he refused to admit that he killed Kanie Hisahisa.
Others also came to the deck one after another after hearing the noise. Jiang Xia stopped before they appeared. He put away the baton and listened to others continue to question Kujirai Sadao.
After Kujirai Sadao was freed from the beating, he became tight-lipped again. The sea breeze on the deck was strong late at night, and the few people could not ask any questions, so they decided to go back to the cabin first.
Minoru Ebina walked over to Kujirai Sadao, who was unable to stand up, and bent over to help him. Kujirai Sadao bared his teeth and stretched out his hand. As he sat up, Minoru Ebina suddenly swung his other hand, and the sharp, shining kitchen knife pierced Kujirai Sadao's heart.
"You really didn't kill Kanie." Ebina Minoru pulled out the knife with all his strength, staring at the blood splattered on his body. His hands trembled slightly, but a slightly twisted smile slowly emerged on his face, "——Because I killed him, hahahaha!"
Twenty years ago, the female employee who was involved in a bank robbery and died was Minoru Ebina's girlfriend. Over the years, Minoru Ebina has been tracking down the whereabouts of the robbers.
He had just wanted to wait until he had killed the last enemy before stabbing himself in the chest. But now, looking at Kujirai Sadao's face, he suddenly felt that his life had regained its meaning.
…
Everyone on the boat pieced together the information they had and barely figured out the cause and effect of the "Furukawa Dai" quiz event.
The next morning, Jiang Xia finished taking the statement and left the police station holding some newly-acquired shikigami and murderous aura.
He walked along the not-so-bustling street and returned to the nearby detective agency. When he entered the office, he took out a few copies of today's morning newspaper from the mailbox.
Originally, Jiang Xia wanted to find out about the events related to Ye Caisan and see what the media said about it. Unexpectedly, when turning the page, he saw a familiar name in a newspaper.
——Chris Wynyard temporarily takes a break from acting to recuperate.
…Chris Wynyard?
Isn't this Vermouth, a winery employee, a well-known relative and a traitor, known as the Thousand-Faced Witch... Although this name is realistic, it is really childish. I don't know who came up with it...
Jiang Xia quickly collected his scattered thoughts.
Judging from the time, this news means that Vermouth is about to come to Japan.
This made Jiang Xia look forward to it. Vermouth seemed to have always wanted to kill Shirley. She would often kill passers-by or teammates casually. Such a person should have a lot of murderous aura. He hoped that it would overflow like Gin and be produced in a stable manner.
At the same time, on the other hand, Vermouth will definitely bring some trouble.
Jiang Xia remembered that last year, when Mao Lilan and the high school student version of Kudo Shinichi went to the United States, they saved Vermouth who was dressed as a murderer and was being chased by the FBI. Before leaving, Kudo Shinichi also gave Vermouth a bowl of warm chicken soup.
So now, Vermouth is closer to Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi than her mother.
Under this premise, Jiang Xia examined himself rationally:
A classmate of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran, he often goes out with the two of them to pick up ghosts; he lives very close to Kudo Shinichi's family and not far from Mao Li Ran's family; he has a label on him that says "possessed by Kudo Shinichi's ghost" for no apparent reason...
All of these, plus the identity of the winery "Uzo" used to cheat, were combined and placed in front of Vermouth. In her eyes, "Jiang Xia" was probably like a time bomb next to Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi.
Jiang Xia: “…” I felt like I was attracting some hatred.
...However, Gin seemed to have said that he wanted to keep the identity of "Uzo" secret as much as possible, so he probably wouldn't take the initiative to reveal this matter.
Moreover, Vermouth always likes to be alone, except for occasionally finding some tools in the organization, she doesn't interact much with other people. In short, she may not hear the news about "Jiang Xia = Uzo".
Of course, Jiang Xia thought cautiously: Considering that Gin has negative luck, he might be dragged down by this hardworking boss, so he should also make some preparations in advance for Vermouth's arrival, so as to avoid being regarded as a bad person who leads her own children astray, and causing trouble for him all the time, disrupting his peaceful life.
…
After returning home, Jiang Xia searched for information related to "Chris Wynyard", dragged out a photo and enlarged it.
Then he waved to the ghost of his parents who were floating beside him and helping Xiao Bai revise the script: "Come."
The parent ghost was startled, and happily moved towards Jiang Xia's legs. The mermaid lay on the edge of the fish tank and watched for two seconds, and seemed to be quite unhappy with the slow speed of movement. She swam out and picked up the ghost, floated to Jiang Xia's hand and threw the ghost, and then returned to the fish tank with great concealment.
Jiang Xia picked up the ghost and put it on the table.
Then, facing his parents' inquiring gazes, he raised his hand and tapped the photo of Vermouth on the screen: "If you meet this person in the future, hug me immediately. The same goes for people with disguised faces."
