Chapter 466 Thank you, young man, additional update to the leader [The Darkest Darkness]
Takagi was standing on the elevator at this time.
As he was observing from his vantage point, on the platform below, Shuji Kano had completely changed from his previous energetic appearance. He walked past Jiang Xia like a frail old man, then tripped and fell.
Takagi: "...?"
Jiang Xia seemed equally surprised.
He looked down at Shuji Shikano who had fallen at his feet. After a moment of shock, he tentatively reached out his hand to Shuji Shikano, like a normal, enthusiastic high school student, ready to help him.
Then……
Then the elevator continued to rise, and the view was blocked by the ceiling, so Takagi could not see what happened next.
But he always felt that a conspiracy was brewing.
——A dozen minutes ago, when I first met Shuji Shikano, he was obviously very energetic and could easily beat up several young men with one punch.
But after just a short while, he was so weak that he fell flat on his face, as if he was going to try to scam Jiang Xia...
Takagi couldn't figure out why things turned out like this, but he intuitively felt that there was a big problem.
...I have to go and take a look.
After all, if his reasoning was correct, then Shuji Kano was not an ordinary old man, but a dangerous person who had robbed 550 million, killed a bank guard, caused the death of an active detective, and then fled for 18 years without being discovered.
…
In the subway station.
Jiang Xia not only helped up the old man who fell in front of him, but also kindly helped him brush off the dirt.
Shikano Shuji stood up and observed Jiang Xia's expression while thanking him. He could not see any vigilance or alertness in Jiang Xia's eyes, only a hint of sincere intimacy and friendliness.
Only then did Shuji Shikano breathe a sigh of relief.
——From the content of the phone call just overheard, Jiang Xia probably only had some guesses about the murderer of the "Chou Silang Incident", but has not yet conducted an in-depth investigation of the people involved in the incident, and therefore has not yet matched "Shino Shuji" and "the real murderer of the Chou Silang Incident."
But if I remember correctly, Sato Miwako is not far from Shinagawa Station now.
Once Jiang Xia has contact with her and gets more information...
When Shuji Kano thought about this and recalled Jiang Xia's speed in solving cases that was praised by the media, he felt a hint of sweat on his forehead.
——If he hadn't noticed Jiang Xia after getting off the subway just now, but had gone directly to the bar to drink with his friends... then perhaps tonight, a group of police would have broken into his house, and he would have been arrested at the critical moment when he only had a few hours left to escape legal sanctions... Hiss, just thinking about it, his blood pressure was already at its highest.
...Luckily, he had good hearing. Jiang Xia was easy to spot in the crowd, so he was able to nip the tragedy in the bud.
Shuji Shikano was filled with relief.
He glanced at Jiang Xia who was helping him enthusiastically, and decided to take the detective to a place where he could not be easily found, and hold him there for a while. He would then release him after midnight.
Of course, if Jiang Xia discovered his identity, he would have to expose him before midnight...
After all, Shikano Shuji was a man who had killed people before and had been on the run for many years, so his methods were decisive. Thinking of this, a hint of reluctance but determination flashed in his eyes.
Then he heard Jiang Xia ask him gently, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call an ambulance for you."
There are too many people here, I have to find a place with fewer people...
Shuji Shikano felt the same way.
Of course he couldn't agree to take the ambulance, so he just waved his hand and said weakly, "It's okay. I probably forgot to take my blood pressure medicine today. I'll be fine after taking it at home..."
As he spoke, he staggered a step, suggesting with his actions that it would be very difficult for him to go home alone.
As expected, the naive high school student immediately followed him and supported him again: "Let me take you home. Although I have an appointment tonight, it shouldn't take long."
"…" You have an appointment? Are you talking about Sato? It's perfect for you to come here to make trouble, "Then thank you for your help."
The two men quickly reached an agreement and tacitly avoided the exit that the police had taken when escorting the suspect, and walked to the other side.
…
When Takagi Shigeru discovered the problem, he was standing in the middle of the elevator, with many people in front and behind him.
If he went against the flow, he would bump into the people running up from below. He had no choice but to quietly shout for help and quickly run up. Although most people stayed close to the side of the elevator, leaving a gap, the elevator was very narrow after all, and he happened to encounter two fat people blocking the way.
When Takagi Wataru jogged out of the elevator, sweating all over his forehead, and ran down the stairs, when he arrived at the platform again, Jiang Xia was no longer there, and the dangerous Shikano Shuji was nowhere to be seen either.
Almost at the same time, a notification tone came from the phone that Takagi Wataru placed to his ear, indicating that no one was answering the call.
He looked at the phone screen that had returned to the call interface and sighed - while chasing the man, Takagi Shigeru certainly did not forget to try to call Jiang Xia to inform him of the situation, but perhaps because Jiang Xia had just got off the subway and the phone was still in silent mode, he was unable to get through...
Gao Mu looked left and right. A subway train happened to stop by, and he couldn't tell whether Jiang Xia got on the train with the old man or left the station from the other side.
However, no matter what, when something like this happened suddenly, there was one person who had to be informed.
"Hello? This is Takagi." Takagi Shigeru dialed Sato Miwako's number and chose his words, "I'm at Shinagawa Station... Ah? No, it's not about the suspect just now. Jiang Xia did not hit him. I just threw him down when I tried to stop him from escaping..."
"I want to say something else. Just now when I was about to leave, I saw Mr. Luye - your father's friend - fell next to Jiang Xia, and then Jiang Xia helped him leave. In addition, about Mr. Luye..."
Takagi was about to tell Sato Miwako that "Shino Shuji might be the real murderer of the case 18 years ago", but before she could finish her words, the female police officer opposite her suddenly interrupted with a huge reaction: "Two people left together?!"
"Ah, yes." Takagi Wataru was startled by her tone, and then realized something was wrong: if Shikano was just an ordinary middle-aged or elderly person, Sato shouldn't have such a big reaction.
Could it be that...
"Find out where they are going as soon as possible and stop them!" Sato Miwako said solemnly:
"Although there is no direct evidence, it is very likely that Shikano Shuji was the real culprit of the 'Chou Silang Incident' 18 years ago. I saved the video left by the bank robbers. I compared it with the commemorative photo of my father's baseball team during the game. The movement of Shikano Shuji when he swung the bat was very similar to the way the gangster whipped the bank guard.
"And Shikano Shuji once studied cooking in Italy for three years. The period during which the suspect fled abroad cannot be counted towards the statute of limitations. If he is the real murderer, the case is still within the statute of limitations!"
