Chapter 549 Please Don't Invite Him
Toru Amuro habitually engaged in conspiracy theories.
...I have seen too many similar things since I started traveling with Jiang Xia.
He looked at the group of people in black robes and asked tentatively: "You don't seem to be ordinary fans?"
"Of course." Hirasaka Reiki raised his chin and said seriously, "The faith of ordinary fans is not enough to support the spirit-sentence ceremony we are about to perform - this is a matter of life and death, and we must be cautious."
Jiang Xia glanced at his calf and showed a serious expression: "Is it a matter of life and death?"
"That's right." Hirasaka Reiki nodded, "Recently, a strange rumor has been circulating among fans -
"Kira's fans always get hurt accidentally or suddenly fall ill after they become fans of someone else. Even my editor Zenan was murdered half a month ago, and the murderer has not been found yet. Before Zenan died, he used his own blood to write the word 'キラ' beside him."
——The Katakana spelling of Kira is exactly “キラ”.
The direction of this death message is so clear that it makes people feel creepy. After all, Kira died in a car accident a year ago.
…
After Hirasaka Reiki finished telling this unsolved case that was like a ghost story, he stroked his chin and whispered:
"Kira died unexpectedly before she became famous, and her body has not been found yet. She must have been unwilling to give up. It was her obsession that made her linger in this world until now and do these hurtful things...
"Although I will not change my love for her, if this continues, there will be too many innocent victims... We must use the séance ritual to find her and find a way to relieve her obsession. Otherwise, the number of victims will only increase."
Jiang Xia also touched his chin, thinking that a detective shouldn't believe these claims, so he tried his best to ignore the mermaid and mist tengu floating past him, and said seriously: "But there is no such thing in the world..."
Amuro Toru nudged him covertly with his elbow.
Remind him not to say such things among a group of suspicious charlatans.
A mature detective must learn to read the atmosphere...
Jiang Xia stopped talking, and his conscience no longer hurt.
Although he didn't finish his words, combined with the preface, everyone understood what he wanted to express.
Hiroji Yagawa actually believes in ghosts and gods a little, otherwise he would not have come here today.
He smiled and patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder, advising:
"Sometimes, this world is not as scientific as we think. Mr. Hirasaka has strong psychic abilities and extensive supernatural knowledge. He has a high success rate in summoning Kira's soul. If you don't believe me, you will know after a while."
When the mermaid heard this, she swam doubtfully to Hirasaka Reiki's side and swam in an S shape in front of his face.
No one paid any attention to her.
Hirasaka Reiki looked straight ahead with a mysterious smile that said "believe it or not", and he had the aura of a hermit.
“…”
The mermaid felt cheated.
She swung her tail unhappily and piassed the ineffective master a few times, then floated back to Jiang Xia.
Hirasaka Reiki vaguely felt an itch on his face.
He raised his hand and wiped it carelessly, took out a golden pocket watch from his chest, took a look at it, and snapped it shut again: "Let's go to the meditation room - it's time."
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru.
Hirasaka Reiki remembered that the two people in front of him were both detectives.
...If he invited them to join him, he might be able to achieve his goal by accident.
Thinking of this, Hirasaka Reiki pretended not to hear Jiang Xia's question just now.
He gave a friendly smile:
"Can you two come and help? Actually, nine people will have the best effect. I originally gathered nine fans, but unfortunately two of them stood us up today."
Next to him, Vodka heard this and moved his lips, wanting to say that it wouldn't be a big deal if there were two less people...
——When he came here before, he visited Hirasaka Reiki's meditation room.
The meditation room was decorated in a quaint and mysterious style, with dim lighting and many nooks and crannies for laying out mechanisms... No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a perfect stage that Uzo would love and could use efficiently.
...Thinking of the worst case scenario, maybe Uzo was just passing by this mansion and had no other intentions except to murder Bourbon.
As a result, when he went to the meditation room later, he felt that it would be a pity not to use such a beautiful room for something, so he suddenly expanded the script and pulled in a few unlucky passers-by, such as him, Vodka...
However, at the same time, Vodka knew that it would be too abrupt to say "I suggest you not to go" at this time.
——Bourbon is also a man with great insight. What if he said that and found out from his words that his attitude towards Uzo was not right, and then saw through the "Jiang Xia = Uzo"...
The most that this incident would cost Uzo is being guarded by Bourbon and losing an interesting toy named Bourbon.
But for him, if Wuzo holds a grudge against him, he might lose his life...
Vodka remained silent in the end.
If you think about it carefully, there are nine people here, including Bourbon, who is Wuzo's main target. Among them, Vodka is a cadre of the organization after all, experienced in many battles, and has long seen through the terrible heart under Wuzo's gentle appearance... As long as he is careful, even if there are new victims, it will definitely not be him who dies.
And with fewer people, he would definitely get more out-of-print posters...
Vodka secretly thought about some dark things, but he didn't dare to have any thoughts like "just snatch all the posters away".
——It’s not that he obeys the law. He is very clear that any illegal behavior may attract the police, which may lead to investigation. And Vodka’s original identity cannot withstand the investigation, and the fake identity used to chase stars is also crudely made. What if he encounters a smart policeman and is found to have problems...
Vodka thought of Gin's long list of cleanup and felt that his brother's gun was pointed at his head.
...And, it's not just the big brother, there's also Usa who's been staring at the list every day. Although the big brother rarely sent the list to Usa after returning from Tottori Prefecture last time, recently, the attitude of the big brother Gin seems to have softened...
In short, when there is no gin to back it up, vodka always abides by the law.
Especially after discovering Uzo's vague observation of him, Vodka now always looks at the traffic lights when crossing the road if Gin is not next to him, and refuses to cross the road blindly, so as to avoid being sniped by the organization's sniper for no reason when being approached by the police.
…
Without Vodka stepping out to stop them, the others looked at the polite Bourbon and Jiang Xia next to him who was even more polite than him, and would not raise any objections like "Don't go".
