Chapter 3261 3273 [Shared Brain]
Takamori Masumi scratched his head and looked at Torimaru Naoko: "Because you seem to know the identities of those two women very clearly?"
Naoko Torimaru: “…”
Since she had decided to cooperate with Jiang Xia, she would of course investigate everything she could - even though she had not dared to act before for fear that her plan would be discovered by "that person", after so many days, she had already gotten to know most of Jiang Xia's acquaintances.
However, there was no need to explain these plans in detail to Takamori Masumi. She just made up an explanation: "Didn't that Maori Kogoro come here not long ago? Kisaki Eri is his wife, and Kudo Yukiko is his childhood friend. It's normal for other people to come over if he can't solve the problem. I've told you many times that if you want to survive, you have to pay attention to everything abnormal around you."
When she mentioned "everything is abnormal", Takamori Masumi couldn't help but cover her face in pain - she remembered the tens of thousands of words of precautions that Torimaru Naoko quickly summarized and asked her to memorize and recite when she first came here.
Now that the past was brought up again, Takamori Masumi felt a headache starting to build. She quickly chuckled and entrusted the task of thinking about this matter to her teammates: "Luckily, you are here! I can rest assured if you can find out everything."
"..." Naoko Torimaru knew that this was not trust, but that Masumi Takamori was too lazy to think. She didn't think much about it at the moment - compared to a smart and capable teammate, the guy in front of her was more reassuring. If one day Masumi Takamori suddenly had a sharp look and acted logically, that would be when she should worry.
After briefly warning this teammate and reminding her not to do anything abnormal like "fearing the detective", Naoko Torimaru finally had time to think about serious matters.
——Why is Jiang Xia here?
The trigger was most likely the commission that Kogoro Mori accepted, but what were the deeper reasons?
Is “that guy” finally taking action?
As this thought flashed through her mind, Naoko Torimaru felt that every cell in her body was in a state of readiness. Her heart was beating violently and her mind was thinking rapidly.
…
In the monitoring room.
Mao Lilan was at a loss under the questioning of Kudo Yukiko and Kisaki Eri, so she had to look to Jiang Xia for help: Can you figure out who my dad voted for, and stop them asking!
Jiang Xia noticed her gaze and offered a helping hand out of loyalty: "You'll know when you go back and ask Uncle Mao Li."
Yukiko Kudo: “!” That’s right, why didn’t she think of it!
Hibiki Eri: "..." Ask him? She didn't want to see that bastard who owed 8 million in the blink of an eye.
A few people were talking excitedly. The old butler beside them suddenly noticed something. He looked at the monitoring screen in surprise: "Why did the master suddenly raise his hand?"
"Um?"
Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo were stunned, then they belatedly remembered the important matter at hand, and hurriedly looked at the surveillance camera with Jiang Xia.
After watching it just now, no one operated the surveillance camera, and the picture that was singled out for enlargement was still in the audio-visual room where everyone was watching just now.
——Mr. Fujieda was originally sitting on a soft chair drinking tea and reading, but now, for some reason, he suddenly stood up and raised his hands high above his head.
"Why is there such a strange posture all of a sudden?" Kudo Yukiko was stunned, feeling that the scene looked familiar, and suddenly he remembered: No matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, there will always be similar scenes during filming - when innocent cannon fodder is pointed at by the villain with a gun, he will raise his hands like this and try to negotiate with the other side, but what awaits him is often a bang.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang in her heart: "Did someone point a gun at him and ask him to raise his hands? It must be the person who wrote the threatening letter!"
But Hibiki Eri felt something was wrong: "This surveillance covers almost the entire room - where is the person?"
The old butler also said: "I just brought coffee to the master, and when I came out I heard him lock the door. No one should be able to get in."
Mrs. Suhua heard them arguing and walked in to take a look. When she saw the surveillance video, her face changed drastically: "Husband!!"
The other people looked at him in confusion, only to find that when they were talking, Master Fujieda no longer had his hands raised - he had fallen to the ground.
"Oh no." Hibiki frowned, "Hurry over and take a look... By the way, I remember you said the door was locked from the inside? Where is the spare key?"
The old housekeeper said in a panic: "It's in my room! I'll get it right away!"
Mrs. Suhua: "Then I'll call the police!"
The two men rushed out the door and ran.
Jiang Xia also pushed the door open and ran to the audio-visual room with everyone else.
On the way, when passing by a room, as if startled by the footsteps of the crowd, Fujieda Shigeru walked out of the room where he was secluded in writing a novel, holding a pen.
"What's wrong?" He looked at the people running past the door and followed them in confusion, "What happened?"
Jiang Xia said patiently as he ran: "Your brother-in-law suddenly fell to the ground."
"What!" Fujieda Shigeru was a little surprised. He immediately dropped his pen and followed them. "I'll go take a look too!"
After walking through the vast villa, the group finally arrived at the door of the audio-visual room.
Fujieda Shigeru knocked on the door: "Brother-in-law, are you okay?"
No one answered, so he continued knocking and asked everyone, "What exactly happened? What does it mean to suddenly fall to the ground?"
Yukiko Kudo: "Someone threatened him with a gun and then shot him..."
As he was speaking, as if by magic, two consecutive gunshots were heard from the room, "Bang!" "Bang!", followed by the sound of glass shattering.
"!!" Everyone was shocked, "Could it be that the murderer hasn't left yet?"
When Mao Lilan heard the murderer, her ears moved: Although I was a step late and failed to protect the annoying Mr. Fujieda, I can't let the murderer shoot again! What if there is still hope?
...And if we catch him now, does that mean we have completed my father's commission?
Several thoughts flashed through her mind at the same time. She took a deep breath, shouted "Move aside!", then kicked the door hard.
With a loud bang, as Fujieda Shigeru stared in amazement, the sturdy wooden door along with its lock flew out and landed on the ground with a clang.
"Keys! I brought the keys, the keys..." The old butler came running over with a large plate of keys, then stared blankly at the empty door frame.
Jiang Xia and Kisaki Eri ran into the house together, came to the small table, looked down, and saw Master Fujieda lying on the ground with his eyes open, and the bloody hole on his back was extremely conspicuous.
“…”
The two looked at each other, Jiang Xia reached out his hand and shook his head regretfully: "It should be hopeless."
At the door, two maids were also attracted by the noise and went closer to check.
After seeing the scene in the room clearly, the two looked at each other and fell into silence for a short time.
