Chapter 554 Where Have All the Subordinates Gone?
Hiroji Yagawa originally wanted to try to scare Jiang Xia and make this young detective believe that there are indeed some things in the world that cannot be explained by science - such as the resentful souls of those who died unjustly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia was so calm that he accidentally hurt the little girl next to him.
Hiroji Yagawa cleared his throat sheepishly and glanced at the food on the table.
Noticing that everyone else had finished their meal, he stood up and said, "It's getting late. We have to gather at around five tomorrow. Let's all go back to bed first."
…
A corner of the dining table.
Vodka, who had a low sense of presence, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He instinctively wanted to stand up and leave the house quickly. But before he stood up, he suddenly remembered something and sat there for two seconds.
After three of the six people at the table stood up, he also stood up calmly and walked towards the door calmly.
On the contrary, Toru Amuro got up later.
——He is checking emails on his phone.
Sent by subordinates.
[We followed the direction that Kazami was heading and found that the main road had collapsed, apparently due to yesterday's rainfall.
[The fog is so thick that we cannot determine the edge of the collapse, and the vehicle cannot move forward. We plan to first investigate the specific situation of the collapse, and then walk to find him]
Toru Amuro: “…” The road collapsed?
In this way, even if there is a signal, after calling the police and the ambulance, it will be difficult for rescue to arrive in time. Just like before in the vampire villa...
...Wait, why did he take "calling the police" as a prerequisite for thinking?
Toru Amuro pressed his forehead to suppress the strange thoughts.
——The person we should worry about the most right now is the missing Yuya Kazami.
Combined with the blurry photos of the scene sent by other subordinates, Toru Amuro always felt that Yuya Kazami seemed to be distracted and drove directly into the collapsed road section.
The structure of that kind of place is very unstable. If the person cannot be found as soon as possible, the more time passes, the more danger Kazami Yu will be in.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro took another look at the location of the collapse.
Then I found out that it was not too far from the mansion and it would only take about ten minutes to run there.
...Why not find an opportunity to go over and take a look at the situation.
…
As other people walked out of the restaurant.
Toru Amuro slowed down and fell behind.
At the same time, he turned the volume of his cell phone to 0 and made a video call to his subordinates, intending to take a look at the situation on the scene first and make a simple assessment... At least before he arrived, he had to find a few places where Kazami Yu might be and let his subordinates search them first.
Although according to the plan, at present, Toru Amuro should focus on isolating Jiang Xia from others and observing whether this employee is a "Uzo" or a "event-prone person".
...But in fact, along the way, the two of them kept encountering cases on the road and almost never stopped.
Although the background of some of the cases was vaguely related to Jiang Xia, at this moment, in Toru Amuro's mind, the possibility that "Jiang Xia is Usa" was almost completely covered by the possibility that "Jiang Xia is just an incident-related person".
Moreover, there was another characteristic that impressed him more than the physical characteristics of the incident.
——No matter where he goes randomly, Jiang Xia can always accurately meet acquaintances.
...If that's the case, then the incident a while ago when Jiang Xia went to Tottori Prefecture to take on a commission from Asami Yusuke, but happened to meet Gin and Vodka, as well as that "Uzo" on the road, doesn't seem so suspicious anymore.
For example, today, Toru Amuro personally experienced the encounter with vodka.
If you think about it, going further ahead, they even encountered rum and Curacao.
...If this goes on, Amuro Toru suddenly feels that even if one day, he and Jiang Xia run into the mysterious boss of the organization when they go out, he probably won't be surprised anymore... Alas, it's a pity that he doesn't know what the boss looks like, and Jiang Xia doesn't know either, so they won't be able to find him even if they meet.
…
In addition, in Toru Amuro's opinion, Vodka's attitude towards Jiang Xia tonight is also very telling.
——The last time Gin and his friends came back from Tottori Prefecture, after Amuro Toru saw the file about "Uzo" in Gin's bag, he just casually mentioned this new code name, which caused a strong reaction from Vodka.
However, today, when Vodka suddenly saw Jiang Xia at the door, he just glanced at him casually and walked away, as if he was just looking at an insignificant passerby.
After that, his attitude was always calm. Even just now, in the meditation room, Vodka took the initiative to sit next to Jiang Xia...
In Amuro Toru's impression, although Vodka has strong professional skills in computers and driving, his skills do not include "excellent acting skills".
...That is to say, when Vodka met "Uzo" and when he met "Jiang Xia", his attitude was indeed very different. The difference was so great that it was like he was facing two completely different people.
...Speaking of this, there is another thing that is of concern.
——Why did Vodka try to take the seat next to Jiang Xia just now?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suddenly recalled a few days ago when, in that high-end restaurant, Rum was so bored that he kept looking at Jiang Xia from time to time.
He couldn't help but frown.
Nowadays, it seems that being too famous is not a good thing.
Jiang Xia had only become famous for a short time, but he was already being targeted by those guys in the organization who were short of manpower...
Of course, in Vodka's occasion, the one targeting Jiang Xia should not be Vodka himself, but Gin behind him.
In fact, it is understandable that Rum took a fancy to Jiang Xia. After all, a private detective like Jiang Xia might obtain commissions from celebrities in the future and possess a large amount of confidential information, making him an intelligence agent.
...But what is the relationship between Jiang Xia and Gin?
No matter how you look at it, these two people have nothing to do with each other. Amuro Toru couldn't imagine the scene of Jiang Xia carrying a heavy weapon and arrogantly shooting...
Toru Amuro suddenly thought, could it be that a long time ago, he mocked Gin for "not having the ability to judge people", and then Jiang Xia really grew rapidly into a very promising famous detective, so Gin felt slapped in the face, and therefore holds a grudge until now, and even holds a grudge against Jiang Xia?
"..." As for Gin, he probably doesn't have the time to target a peripheral member who is in his growth stage.
But if he really encounters it, he might not mind taking a little revenge.
I don’t know if Vodka inherited his big brother’s idea, so he noticed Jiang Xia…
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt vaguely uneasy.
He quickly glanced at the late-night woods videos sent by his subordinates, circled a few suspicious locations, and sent back emails.
Then he looked away from his phone and walked into the hallway.
The corridor was empty at this time, with no one there - the few people who had just gone out after dinner had probably returned to their respective rooms and were resting.
Toru Amuro looked around and was silent for a moment.
...Why didn't Jiang Xia wait for him and went back to the house directly when he was looking at his phone in the restaurant?
This is not like the polite and sensible employee. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xia would at least say hello first.
“……” The bad feeling increased.
