Chapter 484: Undercover Agents Are Really Hard to Catch
Almost at the same time, the window of the office shattered with a crack, and the bullet flew in, making a deep hole in the coffee table - the sniper hidden outside the window opened fire.
Jiang Xia, who was forced to lie down with the other two people, said: "..."
Even the movements of these policemen in catching people were exactly the same. Luckily, he had just been caught by Officer Sato not long ago, so when he was caught again this time, he would land more gracefully than last time...
The sound of bullets hitting each other was heard twice, and then silence returned.
Jiang Xia dusted off his body, sat up, and tried to take a peek outside the window.
But before he could stick his head out, he was blocked again - Toru Amuro gestured to him and the client, signaling them to stay where they were. He then dodged to another blind spot, and after two attempts with the help of obstacles such as the cabinet and refrigerator, he successfully moved to the window and slid the curtains shut, blocking the view from outside.
Afterwards, Toru Amuro stood up, looked back at the bullet marks on the table, and recalled the approximate location of the broken window, seeming to be thinking about something.
Judging from these traces, even if they had just sat still, these two bullets would not have hit anyone.
And based on the position of the sniper he had just seen, although the sniping location was not too close, it was definitely not far away... Is the quality of the killers out there so worrying?
Or was this a planned drama?
...If it is the latter, then who is this performance for?
Toru Amuro looked at the client and Jiang Xia who stood up from behind the sofa, his eyes full of suspicion.
However, if Jiang Xia was really Wu Zuo, he shouldn't have arranged the sniping so crudely. If not, there was no need for Jiang Xia to do such a thing. In any case, it seemed that the guest was more suspicious...
The suspicious guest was holding Jiang Xia's shoulders, shouting and shaking: "He's really here! Hurry up and make him stop, otherwise he will kill me!"
Jiang Xia advised with a good temper: "Calm down, don't rush, you can catch up."
Toru Amuro walked over to them and straightened the sofa that had been knocked askew.
At this time, he saw a wallet lying on the ground, so he picked it up and took a look at it.
This is the client's wallet. The driver's license inside does have the name "Chao Wenzao" printed on it, and the photo also matches - the name left by the client on the registration form seems to be his real name.
…
Before returning the wallet to the customer, Toru Amuro secretly took a photo and sent it to Yuya Kazami, asking him to check.
Afterwards, he searched for the name "Chao Wenzao" in the organization's database.
The page refreshes quickly.
The organization's database did have the client's relevant information entered into it - he was the president of the Tokyo branch of Kansai Real Estate Agency, followed by a brief introduction.
But it's just a normal entry.
In addition, Chao Wenzao was not on the assassination list, nor was he among the partners or targets for recruitment, and seemed to have nothing to do with the organization.
...Despite this, Toru Amuro still feels that there is something seriously wrong with this person.
Even if he has nothing to do with the organization, he must be hiding something else.
…
Jiang Xia glanced out the window.
According to his observation, the sniper who attacked them had no murderous aura and no ghost. He was probably not the Silver Fox, but just an ordinary passerby. Moreover, the passerby had already run away with the gun, so it was not worth chasing him.
Jiang Xia turned to look at the client in front of him.
The client was still shaking him anxiously. Jiang Xia didn't want to be shaken any more, so he changed the subject and said, "Now that we have evidence that Silver Fox attacked you with a gun, why don't you call the police?"
Toru Amuro nodded secretly in his heart.
Chao Wenzao interrupted angrily: "Those policemen are useless! Do you think I haven't called the police? It's because they couldn't find anyone that I had to find a detective!"
Toru Amuro: "..."
He glanced at his phone screen.
His subordinate Yuya Kazami is not very good at big things, but he is surprisingly efficient when it comes to miscellaneous tasks.
At this time, part of the client's information had been sent to his mobile phone at the speed of light.
——Chao Wenzao’s identity is real, and the recent large remittance is also real. It seems that he did hire a killer.
But apart from that, the report to the police was false, and the misdiagnosis was also false.
——Chao Wenzao did have a physical examination five days ago, but he was not misdiagnosed.
Therefore, the reason he gave for coming to the house, that is, "I didn't want to die in the hospital bed after I got a terminal illness, so I hired a killer," is fundamentally problematic.
...In that case, what is the real purpose of this person coming to find a detective?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, the suspicious client made new moves.
"Actually, I have a way to lure out the Silver Fox."
Chao Wenzhao took a deep breath and said as if he had made up his mind:
“I love mountain climbing, and if I have to choose a suitable place to die, I would rather die in the mountains.
"So when I asked Silver Fox to assassinate me, I told him that if he killed me while climbing the mountain, he would get double the reward - that is, if I went climbing, he would definitely follow me. Let's go to the mountain and try!"
Jiang Xia comforted the excited client: "Okay, okay."
Toru Amuro: "..."
The traces of manipulation were too obvious, which made it increasingly difficult for him to connect this incident with the hypothesis of "Uzo's arrangement".
But on the other hand, if Jiang Xia is pure evil, then this could be because Jiang Xia discovered that he was investigating Wu Zuo and did this on purpose...
Well, that’s why objective evidence is so important, otherwise we can only guess. “Jiangxia is Wuzo”, “Jiangxia is just an event”, these two results can be justified either way…
In an instant, Toru Amuro understood how Gin felt when he caught the undercover agent, and also realized Rum's strange attitude of being hot and cold towards him, and he was in a dilemma.
But no matter what, you must go and check out this strange commission. You may get unexpected gains along the way.
Of course, it would be better not to say directly that I was going, but to make a surprise attack. In this way, no matter if the problem was with Jiang Xia or the client, it would be easier to disrupt their plans...
While Toru Amuro was thinking silently.
Next to them, Jiang Xia, who was very friendly to the clients, had already made an appointment with Chao Wenzao to go mountain climbing and fishing for silver foxes.
——The day after tomorrow morning, at Danyuan Mountain.
Danyuan Mountain has fresh air, a low altitude, and average scenery. There are few tourists this season. If Silver Fox intends to assassinate someone by blending in with the tourists, it will be easier to identify him.
Jiang Xia discussed the matters needing attention for the day with the client and sent the client to the door.
After thinking about the ghost-picking life the day after tomorrow with anticipation for a while, Jiang Xia turned around and found that the office was empty. Amuro Toru had left at some point.
Jiang Xia: “……?”
Didn’t the boss look like he had something to say before?
