Chapter 405 Night visit to Narumi Asai
Vodka silently watched as his big brother Gin rented a new boat; while it was dark and the shopkeepers couldn't see him, he quickly checked the boat with instruments; checked the satellite phone; rented two additional spare rubber boats and put them on the boat... and then calmly got on the boat.
Vodka hurriedly followed.
After some silent, hurried and cautious operations, the boat finally set off.
…
After Jiang Xia finished signing a stack of ghosts, his mood temporarily calmed down.
He found the boat prepared by the police station on the main island at the dock, and together with the police, he sailed to Moon Shadow Island.
There was a strong sea breeze on the deck.
Jiang Xia wrapped her scarf tightly and looked in the direction of Yueying Island. She saw the vague outline of the island and a fire spot on the edge of the island that was growing bigger as the boat approached. The community activity center that was on fire was a wooden bungalow, which was relatively flammable and was built close to the sea, making it very conspicuous.
Although according to the news he heard at the police station just now, the target he wanted to pick up was most likely hated by Gin at this time, so it would be difficult to eliminate their obsession and pick up the ghost.
But since I'm here now... I should be able to gain something else from this trip to the island.
——For example, the three drug dealers who were silenced must have done things like silencing others before.
As far as Jiang Xia knows, at least twelve years ago, the drug dealers burned to death their accomplice who wanted to quit the drug business, Keiji Aso, as well as Aso's wife and daughter...Now that the drug dealers have died suddenly, the obsession with the Shikigami clinging to them has dissipated, and they will naturally become wild Shikigami that are easy to pick.
In addition, the anonymous person who sent the invitation letter is Aso Shigenori, the son of Aso Keiji, the accomplice who was killed 12 years ago. After learning the truth about the death of his family, he has always wanted to kill the drug dealer to avenge his family.
And now that the drug dealer is dead, Ma Chengshi's murderous aura should have been completely lost, so he can pick it up along the way.
…
Soon, the ship docked at Moon Shadow Island.
Firefighters from the main island also arrived with whatever equipment they could use.
A group of people followed the fire and hurried to the community activity center which was burning fiercely.
The firefighters and several islanders on the island were gathered next to the community activity center and were busy with work.
They said there was an explosion first and then the fire started. Perhaps because the whole house was made of wood, the flames spread quickly.
While the police and firefighters were fighting the fire, Jiang Xia watched from nearby.
Then he stopped outside the cordon and let the ghosts who were not afraid of fire float into the burning house and take a circle.
At the same time, he temporarily transferred his vision to the ghost, and used the ghost's perspective to observe the fire scene closely.
Through the charred wooden wall, you can see the smoke billowing from the interior of the community activity center, a sea of fire. Visibility is extremely low, and the ghosts follow the breath of the shikigami and float all the way to the main hall.
There were several people lying on the ground who had already died. Their bodies were curled up and slowly turning into charred corpses.
There were more than three people. In addition to the target drug dealer, there were also a few unfamiliar faces... Perhaps they were the sudden increase in the number of targets for silencing during the mission. This was a common occurrence for the organization...
Jiang Xia didn't look at it any further. Instead, he asked the ghost to look around and scan the ground carefully.
On the floor of the hall, you can see some leg-grabbing gods, which are slowly crawling around under the cover of fire and thick smoke.
These shikigami are the incarnations of people who were killed by drug dealers during their lifetime.
At this moment, the enemy suddenly died, and the obsession of a group of Shikigami ended. They had no target for the time being, so they followed their instincts and slowly drifted away, preparing to slowly dissipate after many years.
...or be picked up by a passing enthusiastic psychic medium.
Jiang Xia quickly assigned tasks to the ghosts, with each ghost responsible for picking one direction.
Send one more on the sea side.
Make sure to catch all the shikigami crawling around before they crawl away.
…
After a while, the fire was brought under control with the help of a fireboat sent from the main island.
The outer walls of the community activity center had been burned through, and several charred bodies were dragged out of the smoke-filled fire scene.
While the police and firefighters were busy, Jiang Xia took a few steps back, then turned around and silently turned into a street.
There weren't many residents on Moon Shadow Island, and it was already very late at night. Not long after walking down the street, there was no one around.
Jiang Xia stretched out his hand towards the ghosts who were floating back holding the Shikigami.
Then he got thirteen new and old leg-grabbing shikigami - two of them were gifted and crawled faster, and had already crawled into the sea before he arrived. Then they were dived into the seabed by the frugal mermaid and fished out.
After collecting the new shikigami, Jiang Xia spread out the ghosts with faster movement speeds and let them walk around the island map in a covering manner to find out if there were any shikigami or ghost fetuses that had escaped.
He identified the direction and walked towards the pier where he had docked.
But Jiang Xia did not take the boat, but turned right halfway.
He walked half a street away and came to a two-story apartment with a wooden pointed roof close to the shore.
Just now, Jiang Xia had just set foot on Yueying Island and was on his way from the pier to the community activity center. The ghosts in the vicinity sensed a strong murderous presence.
Although it was too far away and the smell of murderous aura was not clear yet, it should be of a high-end type.
Considering that the murderous aura would not crawl around like the Shikigami, when Jiang Xia passed by here just now, he just turned his head to take a look at the source of the murderous aura and remembered its location.
Now that the leg-stripping shikigami has been put away, it is time to pick up the murderous aura...
…
Jiang Xia followed the murderous smell all the way to the second floor of the apartment, stopped in front of a room with the name "Asai" on it, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Judging from the house number, this is Aso Shiminari, the son of Keiji Aso, who was murdered by drug dealers for quitting the drug business. After his family died, Aso Shiminari was adopted by others and changed his surname to "Asai".
After a few knocks, a burst of rapid and fragmentary noises could be heard coming from the room through the door - the person inside seemed to be packing something in a hurry.
After nearly a minute, the door was gently opened a crack.
Jiang Xia turned his eyes and saw a young woman who was neatly dressed and slender.
The "woman" carefully peeked out through the crack in the door. When her eyes fell on Jiang Xia's face, her expression changed slightly.
After a while, Asai Narimi's complex expression finally settled into a smile, and a slightly neutral female voice sounded, saying gently: "Hello, what can I do for you? You look unfamiliar, um... are you a tourist from outside?"
Jiang Xia glanced at the murderous aura lingering around the "woman" and sniffed it gently.
Then he held his breath reflexively.
...It turned out to be a murderous aura that smelled like disinfectant? ?
Although it is also high-end and murderous, as food, the taste is really a bit stimulating...
