Chapter 404 Pay attention to safety
After completing the blacklisting operation, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the air on the island was fresher.
Oh, by the way, I just picked up a few shikigami, but I haven’t had time to sign them yet…
Thinking of this, on the way to the dock, Jiang Xia reached out his hand to the Mist Tengu that was flying around him.
Mist Tengu immediately understood. It hovered beside Jiang Xia's hand and handed him a neatly stacked stack of leg-peeling shikigami - these were the ghosts on the legs of the seven-ghost boss on the "Kaiyuan", as well as the shikigami that the boss himself had transformed into, a total of eight.
The shikigami and the ghost fetus can only be put into the seal on the heart at will after signing the contract. Before signing, they can only be thrown outside and roamed.
After the murder just happened, it was not known whether Sayuri Kaihara was afraid or wanted to watch her idol solve the case up close, so she followed him closely, and only left for a short while when he was looking for a scarf and making soup. In addition to her, the murderer Kawai Kazuyuki was also guilty and kept glancing at this side out of the corner of his eyes, more dedicated than the surveillance camera.
Jiang Xia had no choice but to let Wu Tengu hold the ghost first and sign it when he was free.
There's no one around right now...
He took the stack of shikigami, pricked his finger, and pressed them one by one like stamping.
As he pressed the buttons, Jiang Xia stared at these Shikigami, which were more numerous than the three people from Yueying Island, and fell into deep thought.
This time, if there was no organization, he would still go to Spider Mansion and Moon Shadow Island because he received two invitations.
But since tomorrow is the full moon night, and the Junior Detective Team was on the mountain yesterday, if Jiang Xia had not been in a hurry to meet up with two teammates from the organization, he thought about it and found that he would most likely stay on the mountain and take advantage of the Junior Detective Team's halo of the god of death.
As for the Junior Detective Team... this morning, Jiang Xia curiously sent a message to Huibara Ai and learned that the kids had not encountered any other cases.
...In other words, if it weren't for the fact that he came to see the unlucky Gin, the eight ghosts in his hands might have passed him by - once the seven ghost bosses were electrocuted, the shikigami on his legs would immediately fall off and be lost. As for the murderer with a ghost on his leg, after the "accidental electric shock incident", he would leave the ship as a victim, destroy the evidence, and return to his daily life.
Now, on Moon Shadow Island, if the target of silencing had not been blown away by Gin, then according to the original world line, Jiang Xia would have been able to pick up three more Shikigami.
Overall, this time when we followed Gin and the others, we had eight more Shikigami and three fewer Shikigami.
...net profit of five.
Plus the murderous aura of Gin that I picked up along the way...
Jiang Xia did some addition and subtraction in his mind for a while.
A minute later, he quietly took out his cell phone and released the two colleagues from the blacklist.
Then I replied to the email I hadn’t intended to reply to, and added a caring and friendly greeting:
[Okay. Be careful on your way back~]
By the way, send a copy to Vodka.
Jiang Xia now gradually feels that these two teammates may also have a bit of the aura of death.
It's just that Gin and Vodka usually act together, and I don't know who caused the incident. Anyway, treat them equally and share the rain and dew...
…
Thousands of meters away.
Gin and Vodka had just destroyed their target with an explosion, and now they were secretly driving back to the main island from Moon Shadow Island.
Instead of returning to the dock, they abandoned the boat in the woods and rented a boat from the main island to the land before the police had time to react.
As soon as they sat down, their cell phones vibrated at the same time, and they received messages.
Vodka took out his cell phone and turned it on to check.
In the pale background of the message, the dark printed words were displayed coldly:
[Okay. Be careful on your way back~]
“…”
Vodka first wondered who would email him in such a strange tone, even adding a tilde. It was overly friendly and looked weird.
Glancing up, Vodka's eyes froze when he saw the sender's email address.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly moved downward and refocused on the words "on the way back" and "be careful".
This time, when he looked at it again, the image of Uzo looking at him quietly and then slowly revealing a deep smile suddenly appeared in his mind.
"……"threaten.
...This is a naked threat!
No, thinking of the worst, this might actually be some kind of preview!
Vodka's fingers stiffened and goose bumps appeared on his back.
He stood up suddenly, quickly scanning the boat's motor, under the seats, and any other places where bombs might be hidden. At the same time, he took the most effective way to solve the problem and shouted, "Brother!"
On the opposite side, Gin's angular face was illuminated by the dim light from the screen.
He saw the same message.
Gin snorted coldly and put his phone away again: "Why are you panicking? He was just being polite."
"Is, is that so..." Vodka saw that Brother Gin looked calm and sat down hesitantly again.
But I still feel that there is danger everywhere around me.
- Think about it, not long ago, Uzo sank the organization's ship worth more than 600 million just to invite them to watch an insignificant drama.
And now, they have set fire to the protagonist of the script that Uzo had planned for a long time... Although it was really cool at the time, especially when he thought about Uzo rushing over with great anticipation, only to find that the person was gone, Vodka even wanted to secretly leave a camera to record the expression that Uzo might show at that time and keep it for later use.
But after the fun, think back...
That kid really won’t take revenge?
No, I can't panic. My brother said it's okay, so it shouldn't be a big problem...
Just as he was thinking about it, Vodka felt the ship shake.
He came to his senses and looked up in confusion, only to see Gin picking up his briefcase and stepping ashore. He was now standing on the dock, looking calmly at the other ships.
"...Brother?"
"Change to another one." Gin bit his cigarette butt and his voice was vague, "It's better to be prepared."
“…”
...So the problem is indeed quite big!
Vodka also hurriedly picked up his luggage and prepared to get off the boat.
The moment he stepped onto the shore, all of Vodka's nerves were tense - in many TV dramas he had watched, this moment of escaping was the most likely to be blown up by a bomb hidden somewhere. In his memory, this was usually a close-up of one foot stepping onto the shore, or a close-up of the last foot leaving the boat...
Vodka put on a stern face and stepped onto the concrete dock.
The boat below was calm and nothing happened.
He glanced down, shifted his center of gravity ashore, and when his toes left the boat, he couldn't help closing his eyes.
Crash——
…There was still no explosion. Only the crisp sound of water as the ship rose slightly.
Vodka breathed a sigh of relief silently. He quickly walked away from the ship as if escaping from a minefield and caught up with Gin. He inexplicably felt like he had escaped death.
