Chapter 439: Toru Amuro's progress in exposing horses
The Siamese cat at Mrs. Masuo's house seems to be a very smart cat.
——At this moment, it changed its previous cold attitude of not wanting to be touched. When Jiang Xia stretched out his hand, it took the initiative to come over and lean against his hand, and even made a coquettish "meow~".
Jiang Xia: “…”
I don't know when Haibara Ai walked over to the side.
She bent down, propped up her knees and looked at the cat, which was not of pure pedigree but quite pretty. She suggested thoughtfully, "If its owner hadn't contacted the adopter in advance, it might have been sent to an institution with a lot of cats and dogs... If you like it, why not try to adopt it?"
The Siamese's pointed ears moved, as if it understood, and its tail curled over and wrapped intimately around Jiang Xia's wrist.
Jiang Xia stared at the cat hesitantly for a while, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have time to raise one." And this cat's face was too dark, and it felt like it would suck away his luck...
Siamese rubbed Jiang Xia's tail for a moment, then suddenly stood up and punched him on the legs with a series of meow punches.
Then he walked away, wagging his tail.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
Is this cat a spirit?
Quite spiritual...
Speaking of which, although Jiang Xia doesn't have time to raise a cat, she does have time. The cat doesn't need to be walked, and she happens to be at home most of the time...
Haibara Ai picked up the cat that had run away, reached out and touched the cat's furry head, feeling a little moved.
She likes small animals very much. If Jiang Xia likes them too, then after having a cat, Jiang Xia can just come to her place and rub the cat, without having to deal with those weird cat-raising ladies...
However, in the end, Haibara Ai was unable to take the cat home.
——When the niece of the store manager Masuo heard the news, she came over to help with the matter and took the cat away with her.
Ai Haibara looked at her niece's back as she left with the cat and sighed regretfully.
…
Jiang Xia watched the lively and dramatic cat for a while and quickly looked away.
He sat down on the chair, shifted his vision to the ghost, and let the ghost float to the archive room to check the situation.
Officer Sato just said that the case files related to him have been retrieved and reviewed.
The only person who would be so bored as to let someone do something like this, apart from the undercover agents sent by the organization to the police, would probably be Toru Amuro...
Judging from the timing, Jiang Xia felt that the latter was more likely.
From this point of view, Amuro Toru's intuition seems to be quite sharp. These red team members are really good at cheating...
Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.
Since Toru Amuro asked people to re-investigate "cases that Jiang Xia was involved in", it means that he may have vaguely smelled a hint of "Uzo" from the frequent murders of his employees, so he wanted to check whether there were any traces of the existence of members of the organization in those cases.
In this way...
There is even less to worry about.
...After all, "Uzo" is not a cold-blooded killer behind the scenes, but just an innocent psychic who follows various red and black parties and tries hard to get involved in cases.
Unless the truth is that Conan has been hiding behind the scenes and planning the murder, the cases that Jiang Xia has participated in, no matter how you investigate, are really just some ordinary murders.
...The only unusual thing is probably that Jiang Xia did have some interactions with some of the dead or the murderer.
But most of the time we just met a few times.
If it wasn't like Gin, who had clearly given "Uzo" a lot of assassination missions, and the assassination targets were indeed murdered within the deadline, otherwise no one would be able to draw the conclusion that "Jiang Xia is the mastermind behind the murder" based on just a few sporadic contacts.
...In short, these few contacts may make Amuro Toru suspicious and make some attempts.
But it would never make him firmly believe that "Jiangxia = Wuzo".
After all, no matter from which perspective, a busy high school detective has nothing to do with the members of the sinister organization hiding in the dark.
…
After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, Jiang Xia's life returned to normal.
Although Toru Amuro is investigating him, there will be no immediate results.
While Jiangxia continued to pick up cats and give them away, he was thinking about the invitation letters sent by the reserve prisoners.
On the other hand, there are also people who are still thinking about him.
…
A few days later.
In the gloomy castle outside Tokyo.
"Aunt Hongna."
Koizumi Hongzi was curled up in the crimson bed with a haggard look on her face, holding a hot water bottle in her arms, and a cup of steaming medicine was placed on the bedside table next to her.
She held the phone in her hand and asked the person on the other end hesitantly, "Is it true that there is no record of monsters in the ancient books of the family?"
"No, there are no monsters in the world. At least there has never been any record of monsters appearing."
A lazy and gentle female voice came from the receiver. The ending of the woman's voice was slightly drawn out, accompanied by the sound of stirring the iron pot, giving people a somewhat mysterious impression.
After answering Koizumi Hongzi's question, Gen Hongna paused for a moment and chuckled meaningfully: "If there is, it will be a perfect specimen that will shock the entire magic world."
"Specimen..." Koizumi Hongzi frowned and tightened her hands that were gripping the quilt slightly, leaving several wrinkles on the silk fabric.
She thought of Mist Tengu and the feel of his wings that night, then turned to look at the sturdy cage that the servant had ordered overnight and was now placed in a corner of her room, and secretly argued in her heart - she still wanted to live more.
Before I could explain it in a tactful way, another voice came from the other end of the phone -
"I have booked the nearest flight, arriving at one o'clock in the afternoon."
Yuan Hongna's voice was soft, but there was a hint of toughness in her tone that was hard to refuse: "Remember to ask that ugly thing to pick me up at the airport - I will try to use you as a medium to divine the whereabouts of that monster."
"Ah? You want to come over?" Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, "But..."
Beep-beep-
The call was hung up.
…It was obvious that Gen Hongna was not discussing the itinerary with her, but just giving her a heads-up.
Koizumi Hongzi frowned at the phone. To be honest, she just wanted to get her aunt's knowledge for free, and then deal with the scary but desirable monster by herself. Unexpectedly, she actually led her aunt here directly...
However, he is a witchcraft elder who deserves respect after all...
Koizumi Hongzi remembered what Minamoto Hongnai had just said, turned to the short servant, and casually instructed: "Aunt Hongnai will be at the airport at 1 pm tomorrow, remember to pick her up."
Gen Hongna, whose original name was Koizumi Hongna, was the witchcraft heir of the previous generation of the Koizumi family. After she got married, she changed her surname and lived outside all year round.
A magician can normally store a huge amount of magic power, but correspondingly, once it is used up, recovery will become extremely slow.
Koizumi Hongzi is now so weak that she can't even use the magic mirror, but she is worried that if she delays too long, Mist Tengu will run away, so she decides to ask her aunt for help.
…But I didn’t expect that my aunt would be so interested in monsters.
Koizumi Hongzi sighed, threw her phone onto the quilt in annoyance, then pinched the corner of the quilt and slowly slid into it.
