Chapter 397 Can you read minds?
Jiang Xia turned around when he heard the voice and saw the captain's daughter with a ponytail approaching secretly with an autograph book and a cell phone in her hand.
When she looked at Jiang Xia, she stiffened slightly.
After a moment, he simply strode over, bowed and handed over the autograph book in one go: "I, I really like watching your show, and I have collected a lot of your crime-solving clippings. Um, would it be convenient for you to sign it?"
She hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice without confidence, "There's also a group photo..."
Jiang Xia took the autograph book and scribbled his full name on it. He then glanced at the captain's daughter's cell phone and the "group photo" she mentioned, and suddenly remembered something.
He handed the signed book back.
Then, when the girl took it and happily checked the signature, he secretly raised his hand and fiddled with his collar.
…
Soon, the captain’s daughter got the autograph and cell phone photo and trotted back to the room excitedly.
After watching her leave, Jiang Xia did not continue to look at the sea, but returned to his guest room.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw two men in black in the dimly lit corridor.
Gin and Vodka are here to take advantage of the situation...
Jiang Xia stepped aside to let the person into the house, and at the same time confirmed one thing.
——If Gin really suspected that there was something wrong with him, he would never get on the boat regardless of whether the camera captured any suspicious persons.
Now, the sudden appearance of this leader on the boat proved that his statement just now that "Uzo joined forces with external forces to arrest him" was actually a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.
...Is it true that staying up too late has affected my temper, or is Vodka muttering something behind my back?
Jiang Xia silently glanced at Gin who came in, and then looked at Vodka.
Then he was quite surprised to find that for some reason, the murderous aura in Gin had returned to normal - just now at the inn, this model worker was clearly full of murderous aura, but now, he had returned to his usual normal state of "calm and composed with a hint of murderous intent".
Also, there was something wrong with the vodka.
——I don’t know what he’s relying on, but he seems to be much more confident than before... There is a problem, a big problem.
Jiang Xia looked carefully at the sturdy man in black who suddenly became fearless, with a hint of confusion.
…
The calm version of Gin, who had just stood from the boss's perspective and overlooked the overall situation, and then found that Uzo's behavior was actually not too out of line, walked closer despite Jiang Xia's puzzled gaze, and raised his hand to press on the side of the "necklace".
In fact, the fingerprint lock should be placed right behind the neck.
But not long ago, after hearing the woman's request for "taking a photo" through the eavesdropping device, Jiang Xia secretly turned the camera to the side, so the lock also changed its position.
As the correct fingerprint was printed on the screen, this time, the necklace did not make an error sound.
The verification is passed and the locks that are put together click apart.
Gin took the "necklace" and threw it into the bag that Vodka was carrying. He turned around and glanced at this honest little brother, nodding secretly in his heart.
Vodka was carrying the bag that contained the remote control of the "bomb". The remote control was placed in the outer pocket, so it was not difficult for Vodka to "accidentally" hit it through the bag.
However - Gin was quite satisfied to find that, whether when he was in deep thought or on the way here, Vodka never tried to touch the switch that would cause Uzo to die if pressed.
…Whether this was because Vodka knew the value of ouzo, or he was following orders, or he was simply not brave enough… In any case, this passed the test that Gin casually threw down.
It seems that in future missions related to Uzo, we don’t have to worry too much about Vodka having problems.
…
Having temporarily resolved this minor hidden danger, Gin turned his attention back to business.
He looked at Jiang Xia and said in a deep voice: "The 'necklace' should have been captured in that photo - there are no buttons on your collar, and you can't completely cover it up even if you gather your clothes. Even if the camera was hidden in advance, the part of the necklace style and pattern exposed in the photo is still very recognizable. People who understand will naturally recognize what it is."
This new "necklace" of the Equipment Department has not yet been officially put into use, and not many people know about it.
But if such photos are left to outsiders, it always feels like a hidden danger.
In the same situation, if it were Vodka, Gin would have stopped the captain's daughter and asked for a photo, destroyed the photo, and started to place bombs on the ship - once he arrived at the destination, he would immediately blow up all the people who knew about it, so that naturally there would be no trace left.
But Uzo is different.
——Unlike vodka, which has flaws everywhere, the "flaw" revealed by Uzo in the previous second may turn into a sharp poison mechanism in the next second. Every seemingly "unexpected" action of his may hide some meaning behind it.
That's why Gin was speaking out to confirm like he was doing now, intending to find out what Uzo was casting his net for before taking his usual action, so as to avoid getting in each other's way.
…
Although Jiang Xia had just turned the camera to the side, there was still a bug on the "necklace", so he was not surprised that Gin and Vodka knew what had just happened.
I hadn’t intended to hide it: “I told her that I don’t usually take photos with people, but this time I took it to thank her for the special service of letting me take the boat – so don’t show that photo to anyone else, just keep it for yourself.
"Also, as you just said, my dress has no buttons at the collar, so it would be unnatural to cover the entire necklace. It is normal to be photographed partially like just now. After the incident, I will use the excuse of catching a cold and ask someone to borrow a scarf or a high-necked dress that can cover the entire neck.
"This way, after solving the case and getting off the ship for interviews, the media will be left with an image of me covering my neck. I will continue to wear a turtleneck for a while."
Vodka was confused.
How did the topic suddenly turn to clothes? After the task is completed, everyone goes home. Who cares if you wear a high collar or a low collar...
Huh? Wait.
Vodka suddenly remembered that last night, after he witnessed the tragic condition of Takeda Shinichi's broken cervical vertebrae in Spider Mansion, he secretly thought that when he returned, he would change into clothes that could cover the neck like his elder brother's, and add a protective pad to prevent himself from being harmed by Uzo with his favorite fishing line... Hiss, could it be that Uzo discovered his thoughts, and was this a hint and warning to him?
But he hadn't even told his eldest brother about this plan...Isn't Uzo's observation ability really so strong that he can read people's minds?
Vodka instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Then he silently repeated "anesthetic snack" three times in his mind and calmed down a little.
...Calm down, this could just be a coincidence.
Anyway, putting aside the clothes, there was one thing he did understand.
