Chapter 407 This [Beep——] It’s better not to have it (Update)
"There are no injured people. Everyone inside is dead." Jiang Xia looked at the "female doctor" with deep eyes:
"More than an hour ago, a call was made to the police station on the main island. I heard that the caller saw the head of the Kuroiwa village chief flying out of the community activity center. In addition to the village chief, the fire department and police also cleared several other bodies from the rubble..."
Clang——
The door, which was originally open only a crack, suddenly opened wide and hit the wall.
Asai Narumi rushed out, ran downstairs with a strength and agility that did not match her appearance, and ran towards the community activity center.
Jiang Xia turned around and glanced at Asai Narimi, who seemed a little shaken but whose murderous aura had not yet begun to fade. He closed the door of his house and followed him.
When Asai Narimi saw that his enemies were indeed dead and realized that he could no longer kill people, the murderous aura on "her" body naturally faded.
Jiang Xia just brought this process forward a little bit.
After all, according to the information he knew, the Junior Detective Team had already set out on their journey home this morning.
In addition, Conan has also finished the banquet and returned. While eating, he borrowed the body of Mouri Kogoro and solved a case. According to the news, "Sleeping Kogoro" appeared again and sent the murderer to prison.
And according to the email I just received, Gin and Vodka are gone too...
In short, Jiang Xia counted and found that there was not even a single person with a tendency to cause trouble next to him, and he felt uncomfortable staying there any longer.
So he just wanted to get rid of Asai Narimi's murderous intent as soon as possible, then pack up and leave, returning to the warmth of Tokyo...
…
Asai Narumi left the apartment and went straight to the community activity center.
He stopped at the door and stared at the charred and broken body on the ground.
The two old policemen on the island were huddled together with the police from the main island, whispering. Asai Narimi walked a few steps over there and heard a few names with his sharp ears.
——Tatsuji Kuroiwa had gold teeth, Hideo Kawashima had a minor car accident half a year ago and had steel nails inserted in his calves, Mutake Nishimoto always carried a wine bottle... These features were not completely burned away.
There are not many residents on the island, and these three people are quite famous - one is the current village chief, one is the richest man on the island, and the other is a notorious gangster.
Based on the characteristics, the police made a simple guess about the identities of the three bodies and sent people to their respective homes to check, but found that no one was home.
...In other words, the three bodies should correspond to those three people.
Asai Narumi listened in the corner with a low profile, then slowly turned around and walked home with his head down.
On the way, "she" walked faster and faster, and suddenly she dived into the woods on the side of the street, leaned her forehead against the tree with her arms, looking tired and motionless.
After a long while, it seemed that he had finally digested the news that "the enemy he had been looking for for many years had died inexplicably", and the murderous aura lingering on Asai Narimi slowly faded away.
Behind "her", Jiang Xia's eyes moved, and his gaze shifted from the round watermelon worm at his feet to Asai Narimi's feet.
The other ghosts that could run fast were just sent out by Jiang Xia to search the island for wild ghosts.
At this time, only the parents ghost and Xiaobai were left beside Jiang Xia.
He poked Xiaobai, who whimpered and moved over reluctantly, grabbing the murderous aura that smelled pungently like disinfectant. He rolled the murderous aura into an air ball that was much larger than it and had an irregular shape, and carried it on his head with great effort. He ran back to Jiang Xia's feet and struggled to pass the murderous aura to him.
Jiang Xia took advantage of Asai Chengmi's back to him, bent down, picked up the air ball, folded it again, and put it into the pattern space for storage.
Although the smell is a little different from food, it is still high-end murderous aura, and the effect is the same when used, so it cannot be wasted. If you find a ghost with mysophobia one day, feed it this and make the best use of it...
After collecting the harvest, Jiang Xia ignored the young doctor who was crying secretly against the tree trunk in front of him, turned around and left quietly.
He had no idea about Asai Narimi.
After all, in Jiang Xia's impression, in the original world line, Asai Chengmi died of suicide. People who commit suicide cannot become shikigami, let alone ghost fetuses. Now that the murderous aura is in hand, I can say goodbye to this doctor...
…
Asai Narimi buried his head on the tree trunk, his mind flashed back to the tragic deaths of his family members, his lonely days in another place, the past two years when he tried to disguise himself as a woman and hide his identity, and then thought about the new life in the future...
Amid the rustling of leaves in the sea breeze, his tears continued to flow, soaking the sleeves of his forearms.
After a long time, Asai Narimi came to his senses and remembered that Jiang Xia was still following him.
Now that the enemy is dead and there is no need to prepare for murder the next day, there is no need to deliberately reduce one's suspicion - now that even his identity is a lie, for Asai Narimi, telling this story itself is a wonderful experience.
...It just so happens that the young detective probably has a lot of questions to ask him right now.
Thinking of this, Asai Narimi raised his hand and carefully wiped away the tears from his face.
At the same time he spoke softly:
"I didn't design the explosion, although I did want to kill those three people... Come to think of it, you're amazing. You found me so quickly. How did you find out?"
As he said this, Asai Narimi turned around with a smile.
What came into view was an empty forest.
The wind blew the fallen leaves, and the dead leaves rolled past his feet, making a series of tiny and lonely sounds.
...Forget Jiang Xia, there wasn't even a single moving creature around.
“…”
Asai Narimi looked at the scene in a daze.
After several seconds, he turned his head hesitantly and looked around.
However, Jiang Xia was not in sight at all.
A minute later, Asai Narimi silently withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought.
He remembered that when he first entered the woods, he clearly heard footsteps behind him, and Jiang Xia was indeed following him.
...How come he died after just crying for a short while?
He, he thought Jiang Xia would have a lot of questions to ask him... Could it be that Jiang Xia had figured out everything on his own without him having to ask?
Asai Narumi leaned against the tree trunk and sat down on the ground with mixed feelings.
Although it was a good thing that the detective was no longer investigating him, he inexplicably had a subtle feeling that he was being used and discarded. He was obviously a very important person who held many clues, and could even be considered the center of the mystery of Moon Shadow Island... Did Jiang Xia really leave like this?
I don’t know why, but I feel a little lost... Asai Narumi silently covered his heart.
Then he was startled by the strange yet familiar feel.
After a moment, he silently lowered his head, unzipped his collar, took out the two cloth bags made of soybeans that were stuffed in his chest, and threw them aside.
…Now that his revenge had been achieved, he no longer had to pretend to be a woman and carefully investigate on this remote island.
