Chapter 478: Some disinfectant, please give me a monthly ticket ()
Jiang Xia threw away the USB drive and was about to get up.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed the back of his neck, and threw him forward.
"ah!!"
Two more exclamations were heard nearby.
——Misako Sato held Jiang Xia with one hand and Takagi with the other. When she fell, she bumped into Inspector Megure as well, and the four of them fell to the ground in an instant.
Jiang Xia propped himself up on the ground in confusion, sat up and patted the dirt. He looked at Sato Miwako in confusion. She had her eyes tightly closed, as if she was dodging the shockwave of a bomb.
Jiang Xia looked at the USB drive he had thrown away and vaguely understood something: "..."
...Isn't Officer Sato thinking that he threw the USB drive away because he suddenly realized that it was a miniature bomb or something like that?
After a second or two, perhaps before the explosion, Miwako Sato opened her eyes.
She frowned, got up from the ground, and turned to look at the USB drive vigilantly.
Jiang Xia didn't want to be pinned down again, so he quickly added, "That's not a bomb."
The three policemen breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.
Then he remembered something and his expression changed again.
Before Jiang Xia could catch up with the thought processes of these Tokyo police officers, Sato Miwako suddenly sat up, grabbed his hand that was holding the USB drive, and opened it to take a look.
Inspector Megure and Takagi Wataru also came over and said in unison: "It has a killing device installed?!"
For example, something like "a poison needle coated with medicine"...
Jiang Xia: “…”
"No." He shook his wrist and opened and closed his palms, using his actions to show that he was not hit.
Then Jiang Xia pulled his hand away from Officer Sato, walked to where the USB drive fell, and picked it up.
Under the blank gaze of the three policemen, Jiang Xia put the USB drive in Inspector Megure's hands:
"I found a suspicious USB drive. Maybe it belonged to the arsonist. Do you want to check it out?"
Takagi Wataru suddenly realized, and slapped his palm with an expression of "I got it" on his face.
Then, Sato Miwako slapped him on the back of his head: Don't support Jiang Xia when he is trying to take advantage of an opportunity!
Mumu Police Department: "..."
He quickly glanced to both sides. As a veteran policeman who had been on the job for many years, he rarely felt guilty.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Inspector Megure cleared his throat, waved his hand with a dazed look, and instructed his tool man: "Takagi, bring a laptop over."
…
Unfortunately, the USB flash drive was encrypted and could not be opened.
Inspector Megure had no choice but to take it back to the police station along with other items.
Jiang Xia first went to the place where Kenji Hagihara died according to the plan.
However, there was no one there, and there was no new ghost baby that he was expecting.
Jiang Xia left slightly disappointed and went to the Metropolitan Police Department.
As an enthusiastic passerby who "picked up a USB flash drive", if this USB flash drive is really related to the case, he'd better make a statement.
After walking into the first investigation class with familiarity, Jiang Xia saw a familiar person - Saori Nishitani, the woman who had just been crying with joy at the charred body of the stalker by the river.
Sato Miwako was not at the police station at the moment, probably because she was busy with the "Chou Silang incident".
At this time, Takagi Shigeru was staring at the computer with a serious expression.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming over, he whispered with a hint of admiration: "You are right. The 'hostage' held by the arsonist is indeed related to certain cases - but the USB flash drive does not contain his 'crime plan', but more like a commemorative album..."
Jiang Xia glanced at the computer with his back to him, then walked around to look at the details.
The stalker's USB flash drive contained dozens of electronic photo albums, most of which only had a few or a dozen pages, and were labeled "Scrap No. XX".
Only three albums are particularly special. Their file names are people's names, and each one contains nearly a hundred photos.
When I clicked on them and looked through them, I found that the style was very consistent - they were all candid photos.
In the first two albums named after people, as the pages go by, the distance of the candid photos also increases from far to near, and finally ends with a few pages of bloody corpses and a report that "the burglary and murderer has not been caught yet."
Although the photo album named "Saori Nishitani" has many pages, it has not yet reached the final step. The last page of the electronic photo album is a set of murder tools - the tools in the bag that was blown away.
When Nishitani Saori was asked if she knew the first two victims, she saw the two previous cases and felt a little weak in the knees. She sat on a stool next to her and was in a daze. A female police officer was patting her back and comforting her softly.
While Jiang Xia was looking through the photo album, Matsuda Jinpei sat on his shoulders with his arms folded, staring at the photos on the screen seriously, and then looked at Saori Nishitani sitting on the chair.
After a moment, he raised his hand and smoothed his curly hair, looking a little tangled.
…
Jiang Xia finished taking statements about “picking up the USB drive” and the arsonist, and quickly left the police station.
After returning home, he glanced at the police ghost who had been meditating for a particularly long time and had a relatively rich conscience, lit an ordinary ghost mint, and handed it over.
Surrounded by smoke, Matsuda Jinpei's nose twitched slightly, and he came back to his senses from his thoughts.
Seeing the ghost mint approaching, it instinctively floated over to hug it and took a sip of it comfortably.
After smoking it, he realized something was wrong. He stared at the cigarette with some confusion, then looked at Jiang Xia: Why is there no smell of alcohol?
Jiang Xia sighed sadly and explained half-truthfully:
"High-grade murderous aura is extremely rare, and the source of that alcohol-scented murderous aura has been rather secretive lately and doesn't like to contact me... In the worst-case scenario, it might become out of print."
Out of print...
When Jinpei Matsuda recalled the smell of that high-end murderous aura, he immediately revealed a look of regret. He was too busy to think about the social philosophical issue of "how to make criminals pay the price correctly" and became as sad as Jiang Xia.
"Oh, right." Jiang Xia was worried for a while, and suddenly remembered something.
He took out a individually sealed ghost mint, opened it a little, and handed it to Matsuda Jinpei - this was the high-grade murderous aura that he had obtained from Asai Narimi when he went to Tsukikage Island some time ago. It had the smell of disinfectant that was not very suitable for consumption.
"Why don't you try this? This is also a high-level murderous aura..."
Jinpei Matsuda raised his head, observed the unlit cigarette in Jiang Xia's hand, and leaned closer to smell it doubtfully.
Then he started coughing because of choking.
Half a second later, it covered its mouth and nose, picked up the ordinary cigarette, and quickly retreated.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He took back the ghost mint that smelled like disinfectant and sighed. It seemed that the new ghost didn't like the smell either... He thought he would be lucky enough to meet a ghost that liked to eat disinfectant to avoid wasting it. After all, although the smell was a bit unpleasant, it was still high-grade murderous aura, and the effect would be the same if he ate it...
Well, let the ghosts play rock-paper-scissors from now on, and the loser gets to eat.
