Chapter 392 Vodka's chance to strike back Ask for monthly votes ()
Jiang Xia's eyes turned to confusion.
Why did you send a bag of snacks specially?
Gin doesn't seem like the kind of considerate teammate who would bring breakfast to his colleagues... Maybe he was unhappy with Gin's busy schedule and lack of organization and discipline, so he poisoned the food.
Jiang Xia looked up and met Gin's calm gaze, unable to understand his leader's thoughts.
So after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took out a piece.
In fact, there is no need to guess. Just try and you will know the purpose of Gin sending snacks - anyway, the stomach wall can be separated by puppet clay, so even if it is poisonous, it can't poison him.
After finishing the meal, he would fall to the ground. If Gin behaved calmly, it would mean that the snack was indeed poisoned; and if Gin looked surprised, he would just get up as if nothing had happened and say that he had stayed up for two consecutive nights and had low blood sugar...
Jiang Xia began to wonder if it was really poisonous, how to distinguish whether it was a highly toxic drug or an ordinary anesthetic.
But before he could put the snack into his mouth, Gin raised his hand to stop him.
"Potassium cyanide was added to it." Gin Sen sneered, "This was found by the person in charge of cleaning up the mess from Takeda Shinichi. Judging from the gift card next to it, it was a 'gift' he prepared specifically for you."
Jiang Xia: “…”
He loosened his grip and silently threw the snack back.
…Okay, no need to emphasize it anymore, he won’t put everything in his mouth like that senior cadre who was allergic to drugs. Nor does he need to be reminded everywhere like vodka.
Gin recalled that last night, when he was observing the Takeda family from the observation tower opposite the Takeda family, he saw Usa eating the meal prepared by that family without any worries, and reminded them coldly:
"Not all criminals will kneel down and cry when they feel threatened. Some of them are jackals that dare to turn around and bite their predators. The darkness in the human heart is a double-edged sword. If you use it as a weapon, you will inevitably bear the corresponding backlash."
After saying that, he tapped the gift box in his hand and said, "Remember this experience and don't make the same mistake again."
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, feeling that Gin's speech was very literary today.
However, thinking of the leader's impromptu singing while waiting for Shirley on the snowy roof, I felt that this seemed very normal... Gin seemed to have a little literary talent. If he hadn't run away to work for the organization, he might have become a trendy modern poet...
Gin doesn't have the ability to read minds.
Seeing Jiang Xia thoughtful, as if thinking seriously about his words, he nodded secretly, took out a wet towel to wipe his hands that had touched the gift box, and then threw the snack box and the wet towel to Vodka: "Get rid of it."
Gin took one last look at the snack box and thought about it.
——He had previously thought that Takeda Shinichi would at most try to control Usa with drugs, but unexpectedly this man went straight to killing him.
...It seems that being a detective is a more dangerous profession than one might imagine. Perhaps it is necessary to get Uzo a gun license?
However, when he thought about the numerous cases along the way and the incident not long ago when Uzo drove his car himself and tried to drive someone off a cliff, Gin rejected the idea that had just popped up in his mind.
Let’s just forget it for now.
If Uzo is allowed to legally own a gun, a chaotic situation that is even more difficult to deal with may arise.
At least for now, the people who want to kill him are just doing some small tricks like Takeda Shinichi. As long as you are careful, you can avoid it.
In comparison, giving Uzo a gun is too risky, this is really not a good idea...
…
While Jiang Xia and Gin were thinking about their own things, Vodka, holding a box of snacks, was also lost in thought.
...Uzo actually intended to eat it just now.
...Are you so unsatisfied with what you eat?
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be true - in the past at the sushi restaurant, Uzo had often eaten big brother's sushi. Besides, I heard that Vermouth had successfully gotten someone drunk and took him away... Hey, in that case, Uzo is not that difficult to deal with - just carry some snacks with anesthetics with him.
People with weaknesses are not scary!
Vodka went out in a very good mood with snacks containing potassium cyanide, feeling that he had pinched the hope of self-defense.
…
Gin and Vodka didn't stay in Jiang Xia's room for too long, and soon went to their own room - they would pass by the front desk when going upstairs, and in order to avoid suspicion from others, they booked a suite with two bedrooms and a living room, which would also be convenient for rest.
The scheduled departure time is 6pm.
Gin took a short rest in the room, then went to the dock in advance to check whether there were any listening or surveillance equipment. Although the peripheral members in charge of guarding must have tested it, he was still not reassured and decided to do it himself.
Finally, I arrived at the pier and took a look.
The boat is on shore.
…I heard that it suddenly sank early this morning, and a group of cranes just came and pulled it up.
"——There had been no problems before, but this morning it suddenly tilted and began to sink. We wanted to dispatch other ships to take you there, but the coordinator just replied that the other ships were still in use and the earliest they could arrive would be the day after tomorrow."
The man in charge of watching the boat said this, bowed 90 degrees skillfully, and lowered his head deeply: "I'm very sorry!"
Gin: “…”
The perfectly planned trip was suddenly delayed, and the expensive ship suddenly sank into the sea. He reached out and grasped the handle of the gun in his pocket, and several blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.
However, after glancing at the surrounding maintenance personnel, dock workers, and the occasional passers-by, Gin finally did not take out his gun.
He stared at the yacht lying on the shore and was silent for a moment: "When was the last time it was inspected?"
The man who was still bowing said humbly, "Yesterday afternoon."
Gin loosened his grip on the gun, took out a cigarette box, lit a cigarette, and took a slow puff.
It is impossible for a ship to sink suddenly out of nowhere. So the accident that caused the shipwreck must have happened at night or in the early morning.
It was late at night when Wuzo arrived here.
...Uzo tampered with the ship?
The series of associations and speculations seemed a little abrupt, but also seemed to be logical.
As soon as it appeared, Gin's eyes, which were filled with cold light, narrowed slightly.
At this time, on the road leading from the hotel to the pier, two middle-aged men carrying huge travel bags walked side by side, talking and laughing.
The two men looked at the boat parked on the shore out of curiosity, but did not approach it. Instead, they boarded the "Haiyuan" boat next door, which was in normal condition.
The man with brown hair stretched out his hand and shook hands with the captain who was standing at the bow to greet them. "I am Kawai Kazuyuki, the one I had an appointment with before."
He gestured to the side and said, "This is Mr. Yamazaki Tsuneo. We registered together before."
There were not many tourists this season, so the captain easily matched the two people with the guests on the reservation list and warmly invited them in.
A dozen meters away, a pair of cold and sharp eyes were silently staring in this direction.
After a moment, Gin whispered to Vodka, "Check them out."
Vodka nodded, quickly took out the notebook he carried with him from his bag, entered the password, and went into the organization's database to search.
The database contained very complex files. Not only big shots, but also slightly prominent people were registered. It was even said that someone in the intelligence team was so bored that they once compiled a list of the breeds of the big shots' pets... In short, after entering the name he had just heard, the relevant information quickly popped up on Vodka's screen.
Vodka took a quick look and turned the computer to show Gin: "Brother."
Gin's eyes fell on the files of the two men.
I first saw Kawai Kazuyuki's. Since Kawai was not a very important person and had no connection with the organization, his information was updated a year ago. It showed that he was the manager of a construction store and had a criminal record for fighting under the influence of alcohol.
Another person, Tsuneo Yamazaki, seems to have been marked as "useful" by the organization, and his information has been updated until now.
——According to the files, Yamazaki Tsuneo was the president of a financial company. On the surface, he was an honest and law-abiding businessman, but behind the scenes, he had been lending money illegally and used this method to swallow up many small companies.
In addition, when lending money, Tsuneo Yamazaki would often ask the borrower to take out a high-value insurance policy with Tsuneo Yamazaki as the beneficiary in the name of guarantee.
The organization's data shows that over the years, at least six borrowers who were unable to repay their loans "died accidentally" a year after bankruptcy, which resulted in a considerable amount of compensation for Yamazaki Tsuneo.
Gin was silent for a moment, and gradually thought of something.
He took out his cell phone and checked the status of the Kawai Engineering Office, and found that the financial situation of this small company was not optimistic.
——In other words, the two people who just appeared on the Shanghai Yuanhao account are, one is the president of a small company who is in urgent need of loans, and the other is an unscrupulous financier who often lends money to the president of small companies.
Thinking about Uzo's habits again...he probably knew what was going on.
Vodka was holding the computer for Gin while reading the text on the screen himself.
Halfway through, I suddenly saw the eldest brother turn around silently, and the hem of his windbreaker drew a murderous arc in the air.
Gin strode towards the hotel and went straight to Jiang Xia's room.
He always felt that the organization's ship would sink, and Wuzo had something to do with it. Wuzo had the motive, the time, but no alibi.
Although there is no evidence...but what evidence is needed for what Uzo did?
——This young elite member is a professional when it comes to erasing evidence and avoiding being caught.
If you tell him the evidence, you lose!
…
In the room.
Jiang Xia was packing his bag, preparing to board the ship to start a pleasant journey to Yueying Island and pick up at least two-digit Shikigami.
At this moment, the door behind me was pushed open with a click.
Before I could turn around, I heard a series of footsteps approaching, and then I felt a chill on my back as I was hit hard by something hard metal.
Jiang Xia: “…”
This familiar touch.
…The leader started to become suspicious again.
Jiang Xia slowly turned around: "?"
Gin glanced at his innocent yet puzzled expression, and this time he was not fooled, but said in a deep voice with great certainty: "You did it."
The younger member looked even more confused: "What?"
Vodka, who came running over, was a little confused at first, but after hearing Gin's words and combining them with what had just happened at the dock, he immediately reacted.
He wanted to slap the table to create an atmosphere for the interrogation.
However, this hotel is covered with tatami and the coffee table is very low.
Vodka gestured secretly, but felt that bending down to take a photo would make it look unimpressive, so he had to give up the idea with regret.
He straightened his back and responded coldly:
“It’s a ship.
"——You arrived here late last night, and the ship sank in the early morning. Calculating the time, you had plenty of opportunities to move on the ship..."
Jiang Xia, who was being pointed at by a gun, suddenly glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Speak with evidence."
“…”
Vodka's expression remained unchanged. He pretended to pace and moved quietly behind Gin.
In this way, with Gin separating them, Jiang Xia suddenly couldn't see him anymore.
Then Vodka's cold voice sounded again, stubbornly continuing what he had not finished saying just now:
"…You have enough time to do something on the boat, so you have an excuse to take the commercial yacht next to it to enjoy the case you have promoted!"
...You guessed it right, except for the last sentence.
Vodka added another entry to Jiang Xia's book of grudges.
He denied it while holding a grudge: "I didn't..."
Gin put his finger on the trigger and said coldly: "I'm not here to watch you act."
"It's true." Jiang Xia said calmly, "I have no motive - if I really wanted to take the boat next door like Vodka said, I would just say 'I want to go my separate ways', why would I damage the boat?"
"Motive?" Gin sneered. "Without a strong enough audience, your performance will be boring. Besides, it is far more interesting to pretend that there is an accident on the ship next to us, so that we can take the initiative to board that ship and then find ourselves in a murder case... Isn't it?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Not at all!
He is only interested in ghosts. As for "drama", "audience" and the like... these should be Gin's own hobbies, but they were inexplicably imposed on "Uzo".
Having said that, Gin's tone is so firm now. If Jiang Xia denies it at this time, he is really afraid that Gin will feel embarrassed, and then get angry and never bring him out to solve cases again... It is very risky to undermine the leader, so he must act with caution.
And now it seems that Gin has already determined that the shipwreck is related to "Uzo" - think about the time near the amusement park, Gin confidently gave it to Kudo Shinichi after he determined that "APTX4869, which has not yet passed human trials, is the perfect killing drug"; and in the wine cellar of the Haido City Hotel, Gin confidently stopped guarding the door and ran to the rooftop to ambush people after he determined that "according to Shirley's personality, she would not dare to go through the door but would escape through the chimney"...
In short, this leader seems a little paranoid, and things he has determined seem difficult to reverse.
Jiang Xia sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless. It seemed that he had no choice but to take the blame for the puppet that damaged the boat...
He still did not admit it, but did not refute it either. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his eyes skillfully, as if reflecting on himself.
As soon as he lowered his eyes, he saw the busy Miss Spider - although this elegant new ghost was sitting beside Gin's legs without moving, the eight steel spear-like sharp legs behind her were moving very quickly, and were quickly rolling up the overflowing murderous aura into a fluffy ball of murderous aura like rolling wool.
