Chapter 368: Give me Uzo quickly. Please give me a monthly ticket (▽`)
Today's murder case involved both death and arson, and there were also many signs of running at the scene. The police were so busy that they didn't rush to find them to take statements.
Considering there are too many police officers at Dabao Cinema, it is inconvenient to communicate.
Jiang Xia then patiently watched the children leave and waited for Huangmao to track Yuantai - although Yuantai was accompanied by two other children now, the outlaw Huangmao would not take the children who were not even as tall as his legs seriously and would follow him as he pleased.
Wait until Brother Huangmao walks away from Yuantai and the others, then go over and pick up his murderous aura... Jiang Xia quickly came up with a plan.
However, after Yuan Tai left, one minute passed, two minutes passed, ten minutes passed...
“…”
While Jiang Xia was waiting silently, several police cars had left, but the murderous yellow-haired man nearby was still hiding in the shadows, not moving at all.
...If this continues, the children will all disappear, even though they have short legs.
Jiang Xia was a little confused, thinking, could it be that he guessed wrong? The yellow-haired man nearby who was full of murderous aura was actually someone involved in another case and had nothing to do with Kojima Genta?
But soon, combined with what happened just now, Jiang Xia suddenly had a new idea.
He did not stay there. Instead, he simply identified the surrounding scenery, and when no police were paying attention to him, he turned around and left, heading towards a relatively remote subway station.
On the way from Dabao Cinema to the subway station, you will pass through a block with buildings waiting to be demolished.
It's a good place to strike someone unconscious - both in his eyes and in the eyes of others.
After walking more than ten meters, Jiang Xia received a message from the ghost: the source of murderous aura was following.
He didn't look back and continued walking at a normal pace.
...At present, it seems that this yellow-haired guy who came here with murderous intent is not a mindless tracking machine, but will selectively deal with more pressing issues.
Jiang Xia remembered that Yuan Tai had just clasped his hands together and begged him not to follow him anymore.
Given the distance between them, Huangmao couldn’t actually hear what Yuantai was saying.
Therefore, just looking at the action of putting hands together, coupled with Jiang Xia's identity as a famous detective, from another perspective, it looks very much like Yuantai is looking for Jiang Xia for help - the slightly frightened attitude can also be understood as the child being frightened by the stalker again when he talked about "being followed".
So in the eyes of the yellow-haired wanted criminal, Jiang Xia also became an insider.
In this case, the detective is obviously a greater threat than a silly kid.
...In Jiang Xia's opinion, this is a good thing. First of all, the yellow-haired man originally only had murderous intent directed at Yuan Tai, but now, there is another murderous intent directed at him.
In addition, if Huangmao was tracking the child, and Jiang Xia was tracking Huangmao, then if he wanted to knock Huangmao out with a club, he would have to continue chasing him with great effort.
Unlike now, now he just needs to walk to a place that looks suitable for being attacked, and then stop and wait there, the yellow-haired man will take the initiative to offer himself to him to be hit... Isn't this wonderful?
After walking for a while, Jiang Xia saw the building that was about to be demolished from afar.
The building is about five or six stories high. Although it is old, it is still solid. You can walk deeper into the building without worrying about it collapsing. This way, if you knock on the door, it will not be easily heard by passers-by.
When he reached the front of the building, Jiang Xia looked up for a while, then pretended to have noticed something unusual and wanted to find out more clearly as he walked into the building.
This behavior should not be surprising. As we all know, high school detectives are generally very curious and like to run to dangerous places that seem to have secrets.
…
Not long after Jiang Xia entered the building.
At the door of the abandoned building, a figure that was chasing them stopped.
The wanted criminal Inoue Zhi looked at Jiang Xia's back, raised his hand to stroke his trendy new yellow hair, and curled his lips slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
At the same time, a car slowly stopped at the intersection behind him.
In the car, Vermouth, who had torn off her Bourbon disguise, lowered the window, pushed up the huge sunglasses on her nose, and casually lifted her long golden hair on the side of her face to the back of her head, looking at the scene with a slightly puzzled frown.
After a few seconds, she saw Inoue Shi looking around.
Then the man bent down and picked up a broken steel bar about one meter long. He weighed it in his hand and walked into the building with a grin.
Vermouth thought of the person who entered the building before the yellow-haired man, and her clear green eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes flashing.
Soon, she tiptoed out of the car and closed the door.
…
This abandoned building was once a museum, and although it is now on the verge of demolition, the interior decoration is still quite good.
Jiang Xia climbed to the top floor slowly while admiring the slightly mottled painted walls.
He first signed the Shikigami of producer Kamei that he had just picked up today in the corner, and then waited quietly for the murderous aura to come to him.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Five minutes passed.
The rooftop was bleak and desolate. A gust of wind blew by, picking up a curled up dead leaf that had floated up there somehow.
Jiang Xia stared at the dead leaves rolling past his feet. He raised his foot out of boredom and flattened them with a click, then began to look towards the stairs.
Huangmao looked quite healthy, but I didn't expect him to be so slow in climbing the stairs. Could it be that he was thinking too much and took a different path...
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia pressed the baton in his pocket and returned to the corridor.
After walking down more than two floors, the ghosts began to react vaguely.
Jiang Xia looked at them, and was surprised to find that the murderous aura was still on the first floor and had not moved.
Is the wanted criminal so cowardly? Or is he afraid of heights? I should have waited on the first floor. But Huangmao seems to have pushed Kojima Genta on the overpass, so this shouldn't be the reason...
Anyway, Jiang Xia decided to go downstairs and take a look.
In order to prevent himself from arriving too late and Huangmao from not being able to find anyone, giving up and leaving.
…
After going down to the first floor lobby, Jiang Xia turned around and looked towards the location where the murderous aura was.
However, at a glance, there was no one there.
Looking more closely, he discovered a vague murderous aura lying on the ground.
“…”
Jiang Xia was stunned by this strange situation.
He looked at the murderous aura in silence, lost in thought. After a moment, Jiang Xia looked to the side, approached carefully, picked up the murderous aura and spread it out to examine it.
It fell quite completely.
...Judging from the situation, the owner of the murderous aura is probably dead.
Jiang Xia prayed for 0.1 second for the yellow-haired brother, whom he had only met once, and happily put away his murderous aura.
Afterwards, he looked at the ground nearby and found that although there was no bloodstain, the distribution of the dust on the ground was unnatural, as if someone had struggled hard and then the traces were casually smoothed out... If he had not known in advance that there was murderous aura here and only took a quick look from a distance, Jiang Xia felt that he would probably not be able to find these traces.
I don't know who killed him. If he hasn't gone far, maybe I can pick up another shikigami...
Jiang Xia walked out of the building and looked around, trying to identify the direction the murderer left.
But soon, he found that the mermaid was touching his chin, turning left and right, staring at the murderous aura left by the yellow-haired brother.
After a few seconds, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled out a thin strand of murderous aura from the ball like a tug-of-war.
Jiang Xia watched the entire process carefully.
Then he skillfully snatched the murderous aura from the mermaid.
And when the mermaid bared her little fangs and bit his arm angrily, he leaned in to smell the murderous scent and found a hint of apple on it.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Vermouth is really everywhere.
If she was the one who killed the person, she would have been busy destroying the body by now, making it difficult to catch her.
And we don’t know if the Shikigami dares to cling to Vermouth. If the Shikigami follows the corpse, it will probably be difficult to find it again. We might even have to salvage it from Tokyo Bay... In short, if only an ordinary Shikigami was lost, there is no need to go to so much trouble to find it.
Jiang Xia quickly put the matter behind him, left with the murderous aura he had unexpectedly gained, and prepared to return to the detective agency to work.
By the way, ask Dr. Agasa if there are any other entertainment activities suitable for children.
These kids in the Junior Detective Team are so cute. I want to continue hanging out with them in the future...
…
On the other side, in an old factory.
Vermouth lowered her eyes to glance at the organic matter burning fiercely in the incinerator, then pulled the heavy door and slammed it shut.
He clapped his hands and was about to go back to the car when a black Porsche turned from behind the building and was about to drive out of the factory.
When passing Vermouth, the car slowly stopped and the windows were lowered.
Gin's face appeared behind the window.
Gin glanced at the stove with firelight coming out from the crack in the door, and asked vaguely, "What are you doing?"
Belmode pulled down his sunglasses and smiled perfunctorily: "As you can see, destroy the garbage."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but suddenly she remembered something and ended up not moving.
She naturally followed the previous topic, pointed to the incinerator, and answered in detail: “I met this man following Wu Zuo on the road, so I got rid of him.
"——Uzo had just 'completed' a case, and before the police car had even gone far, he was trying to lure this person into an abandoned building to create an 'accident'. I thought that if the deaths around him were too frequent and too intensive, it would easily attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives, so I helped him out a little."
As he spoke, thinking of the people that Uzo usually liked to "hook" in the information, Vermouth turned his sunglasses and added: "Don't worry, he is not an important person this time. Judging from his dress, he should be just a low-level gangster."
Gin nodded after hearing this.
...Vermouth actually took the initiative to help Uzo clean up the mess. It seems that the reminder I gave her last time was useful.
Seeing that the person in the stove was not a member of the organization, Gin didn't care any more. He raised his chin at Vodka and motioned him to continue walking.
Vermouth looked at the raised car window, her movements paused slightly, and her eyes gradually became dissatisfied.
——After finding out that she had no ill will towards Uzo, shouldn’t Gin mention handing Uzo over to her for guidance, as well as the psychological counseling they had agreed on before…
She didn't want to bring up this matter on her own initiative - Vermouth was worried that if she did so, Gin would become suspicious of her motives and would hand Uzo over to someone else.
That's why she used today's action to give a subtle hint, so that Gin could realize that Uzo sometimes was not careful enough and was prone to being reckless, and he needed a mature and reliable adult to guide him.
Unexpectedly, Gin remained silent after hearing this.
...Tsk, she shouldn't have taken Uzo away arbitrarily and planned to deal with him, otherwise he would have been in her hands by now. I don't know who told Gin that Uzo was with her...Combining the circumstances before and after, it was probably Bourbon.
Thinking of this, Vermouth sharpened her sharp fangs with a smile on her face, and kept a record of Bourbon in her heart.
That damned intelligence agent actually dared to snatch the person from her. She would kill him sooner or later... Well, before that, she had to remember to dispose of Bourbon's settings for sending secret messages at regular intervals.
In addition, I need to find a few more opportunities to hint at Gin. Maybe he will remember it one day...
Vermouth was in a bad mood and was about to leave.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of squeaking brakes.
——The black Porsche that just drove out stopped again.
Gin rolled down the window again.
Vermouth raised her eyebrows, her face expressionless, and looked over with a slight surprise in her heart.
Gin nodded at her with his cigarette in his hand and said with dissatisfaction: "Don't use your current appearance to contact Uzo and other members, and don't use this face to come to the places we often go - you will attract those endless FBI."
After the reminder, the windows of the black vehicle rose again and it drove away quickly.
This time, he didn't stop to give any instructions.
“…”
Vermouth looked at the dust and exhaust raised by the car, and veins popped out on her delicate and plump forehead.
…
A few days later.
The incident at the Gomera Studios came to an end, and this time the case appeared in the Detective Daily as usual.
However, compared with the past, not only has the speed of publishing newspapers slowed down, but the reporting process also seems very rough and brief, and the space occupied is relatively smaller.
——The newspaper still had Jiang Xia’s photo and the name of “Amuro Detective Agency”, and only mentioned in the corner that it was the boss of the agency who solved the case this time. Amuro Toru or the face of “Amuro Toru” did not appear in the entire article.
Jiang Xia thought about it and felt that this was probably something that Toru Amuro had done privately.
Of course it is not easy for an undercover agent to show up in the newspapers. Otherwise, if one of Toru Amuro's classmates from the police academy sees him in the newspaper, he might suddenly recall the youthful years when they passed each other on campus, and happily run over to meet him. But then he would be discovered by the Black Organization... He would definitely get into a lot of trouble.
Jiang Xia sat on the sofa in the office, fiddling with a pair of scissors. Facing the case in the newspaper that was actually solved by Vermouth, he was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should post it in the office's collection of solved case clippings.
Toru Amuro happened to come to the detective agency to pick up something - ever since meeting "Toru Amuro" on the Gomera set a few days ago, he has appeared in the agency more frequently than before, almost once a day, and would ask if there were any suspicious people near Jiangxia.
At this moment, the sound of scissors clicking was heard, and Toru Amuro came over to take a look.
Seeing that it was this case, his eyes twitched slightly: "Throw it away."
