Chapter 488: My old classmate is such a good person. Please give me a monthly ticket (づど)
The enthusiastic male college student seemed to be very good at mountain climbing and always walked in the front.
When he reached the cliff section, he looked back at Jiang Xia and his group from afar, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to slow down his pace.
When the tourists behind him approached, he stood on the protruding stone, stretched out his hand to Mao Lilan, and said enthusiastically like a coach:
"Be careful to use your strength when climbing. You are novices, so you can pull these ropes up. Of course, you can also hold my hand..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand rose up and rested on his.
...Everything developed as the male college student wished.
The only difference was the person who performed this action was slightly different from the picture he had imagined.
——The one who pulled him was not the cheerful and cute high school girl, but the person next to her, who was hiding his face with a mask and a hat, but whose figure was definitely male.
Male college student: "..."
Before the enthusiastic man could react, Jiang Xia grabbed his arm and used a little leverage to easily climb onto the stone.
Under the stone, Conan pushed the plain glasses on his nose with relief, put down his hands that kept poking Jiang Xia's calf, and a reflection flashed across the lenses.
Ran Mao Li didn't notice Conan's little action.
She looked at the height of the stone, pushed off a narrow protrusion on the side with her toes, and jumped up easily, not much slower than climbing ordinary stairs.
The male college student looked at this scene and his smile froze slightly.
This is not quite the same as the "leading newcomers" scenario he imagined...
Toru Amuro did not climb up immediately. He looked down at Conan and observed this strange child.
Conan looked up and stretched out his hand to Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, I don't want a stranger to pull me. What if he is a bad guy and pretends to slip his hand halfway? That's how it's played on TV."
Toru Amuro: "..."
The client Chao Wenzao was startled, and also realized the danger of asking someone to pull him up. He looked at the male college student who seemed to have ulterior motives, snorted coldly, ignored him, and grabbed the climbing rope next to him and climbed up.
With a soft bang, the thick hemp rope suddenly broke at the moment he exerted force.
Chao Wenzao lost his balance and his foot slipped on the relatively smooth edge of the rock. He screamed and fell to the side of the cliff.
Jiang Xia looked down and saw it, then quickly stepped forward and held the man down. Chao Wenzao was almost hanging on the edge of the cliff. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly climbed up the stone.
Toru Amuro was also stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
He remembered the "left-handed" characteristic of the silver fox, and then thought about the suggestion made by the left-handed college student to "climb up by pulling the rope", and his eyes became sharp in an instant.
The male college student shuddered at the scrutiny of his gaze, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis that he was about to be pinned down and thrown somewhere. He stammered, "I, I don't know what's going on..."
Jiang Xia let go of Chao Wenzao who had already stood firmly, jumped back under the stone, picked up the broken hemp rope, and took a look at it.
Then he patted Amuro Toru, handed him the rope, and whispered, "It might just be an accident."
While the boss was concentrating on checking the hemp rope, Jiang Xia secretly withdrew his hand that had just patted him.
…There was a hint of murderous aura with the smell of coffee in his hands.
I didn't expect that the thrilling scene just now could actually bring such a reward. Does the boss have a little prejudice against left-handed people? So, it is true that Akai Shuichi and Gin are both left-handed... Maybe the keyword "left-handed" + "murder" made Amuro Toru have some associations just now.
While Jiang Xia was thinking about the principle of the release of murderous aura, he took advantage of the chaos and secretly put away the extremely rare coffee-flavored murderous aura.
And I couldn't help but look at Toru Amuro again, wanting to see if I had missed anything.
Matsuda Jinpei also stared at Amuro Toru, his eyes shining slightly: I didn't expect that my old classmate would also drop high-level murderous aura... Although he still prefers the taste of alcohol, coffee is also very good, it is much better than that disinfectant anyway.
He suddenly felt murderous, maybe because he thought the killer had attacked in front of him, so he had corresponding emotional fluctuations...hiss, he still hates evil so much. Matsuda Jinpei was a little emotional.
While Matsuda Jinpei was secretly observing Amuro Toru, Jiang Xia was also secretly observing this new ghost with an active mind, and was hesitant to speak.
Finally, he swallowed his words silently.
It's too complicated to explain the vest spirit of Amuro Toru. I'd better let Matsuda Jinpei read it slowly in the future...
…
There was no more murderous aura emanating from Toru Amuro.
——He checked the hemp rope used as a handrail and soon found that the broken part of the rope was not smooth and there was no smell of corrosive drugs. Coupled with the old state of the whole rope, it looked more like natural aging.
The client seems to be just unlucky... Could it be that this left-handed man is really not a killer?
The client, Chao Wenzao, doesn't think so.
He calmed himself down, grabbed the male college student by the collar, and shouted angrily: "So you are the Silver Fox!"
The male college student was stunned and hurriedly denied it.
The sudden breakage of the rope, followed by Amuro Toru's sinister gaze, and the client's roar after he came to his senses, made the other passengers vaguely realize that something was wrong.
The distance between the climbing team that had originally gathered together gradually widened, and the group of people slowly dispersed.
Only the couple continued to follow Jiang Xia and the others, not trying to overtake them. The couple's bags seemed particularly heavy, and the woman was physically weak and walked very slowly.
…
When they were still some distance away from the rest point, the client could no longer walk, so the group stopped to rest temporarily.
The couple also stopped not too far away and took some water from their bags to drink.
When taking the water cup, they carefully covered the bag and quickly closed it after taking it.
Mao Lilan caught a glimpse of these actions and whispered to Jiang Xia, "They don't seem to want us to see inside the bag. Are there assassin equipment hidden inside?"
A group of people were sitting just downwind from the couple.
As the bag opened and closed, Amuro Toru's nose suddenly moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "There is a strange smell."
Conan also frowned at the same time: "There is a bit of a rancid smell."
Jiang Xia: “?”
He followed it and sniffed, but smelled nothing.
So he let the ghost float over and take a peek into the couples' bags.
After confirming his guess, Jiang Xia echoed like a serious detective: "It looks like blood has been drained for a while."
"Blood?!" Mao Lilan silently got goose bumps. She first suddenly turned around to look at her client - the recognized assassination target of the Silver Fox.
Seeing that Chao Wenzao was sitting next to him drinking water and was not assassinated, he felt a little less shocked.
"…What's in their bags?" Mao Lilan thought of the countless horror novels she had read before and asked in a panic, "It can't be the heads of the targets of the mission, right?"
"Probably not." Jiang Xia also whispered back to her, "No one would carry a human head with them when doing a mission. And if it was a head, the smell would be stronger."
