Chapter 568 The target is the boss's hometown
Vodka was stunned when he heard this, and began to try hard to recall the intersection of "Uzo" and "new weapon".
A second later, his mind was filled with “the hapless murderer who scrambled for the ground with his head” and “the poster that was rolled up, stepped on and torn into pieces”.
"..." However, for Wu Zo, these can barely be considered weapons. But he felt that these disposable things were not enough for Wu Zo to mention them to Gin.
In other words...
Vodka shook his head in confusion: "I've never seen him use any weapons, not even the baton."
Gin nodded slowly. When Vodka was thinking carefully just now, he also recalled the series of cases that Uzo had encountered since he set out.
Then he discovered that the so-called "new tool" had never appeared in any known reports or messages he had received privately.
…Maybe these minor scenes are not worth it for Uzo to use his “handy tool” that is worth mentioning.
Of course, it could also be that he didn't want Bourbon to see it. Uzo has always been good at pretending to be good.
So, on the other hand, is that "new weapon" some kind of weapon that is dangerous?
…Forget it, no need to think about it now. Anyway, judging from what Vodka described, this “contest” between Uzo and Bourbon should not last too long. When Uzo returns to Tokyo, he will know everything he needs to know.
Of course, if it is some kind of weapon that is out of line, then it must be treated the same as a gun and confiscated temporarily.
Detectives cannot possess weapons with too strong lethality, as this is detrimental to the reputation of "Jiang Xia" and will also frighten some clients who are timid but powerful...
After simply sorting out his thoughts, Gin put the matter aside for the time being, opened the laptop on his lap, and continued his work for today.
Sure enough, the work efficiency is higher when there is a driver. This way he can free up his hands and eyes and concentrate on his work...
…
The other side.
Deep in the mountains of Tottori Prefecture.
The ghost-calling mansion where we were previously located was originally located on the border of Hyogo Prefecture, close to Tottori Prefecture.
Therefore, Toru Amuro followed a random direction and soon entered the deep forest of Tottori Prefecture from the deep forest of Hyogo Prefecture.
…Of course, to him, it made no difference.
Now Toru Amuro just wants to leave these places as soon as possible, where the roads are desolate, there is no signal, there is no village or shop nearby, and it is easy to have a tire blowout for no reason.
However, he also knew that if the car was going too fast and a tire burst, it would be very dangerous...so in the end, the vehicle could only drive slowly in the mountains.
…
Jiang Xia took a short nap, and when he woke up, he looked at the lush woods beside him and the winding mountain road under his feet. The more he looked, the more familiar it looked.
With his good memory, he can remember firmly a road he has walked once.
As far as Jiang Xia could remember, he had run back and forth along this road several times.
——Isn’t this the place leading to the Gold Miner game point... ahem, the place leading to the Dusk Annex?
The "Twilight Annex" was once the residence of the Karasuma family, the boss of the organization.
Under its old shell, there is actually a huge amount of gold. When the puzzle inside the annex is solved and the mechanism is activated, the outer shell of the building collapses, revealing the glittering golden mansion underneath.
The last time Jiang Xia came to Tottori on a business trip, Gin's bomb sent the intended victims of the murder case to the sky. Jiang Xia always felt that he was being targeted by his leader, so before returning, he stopped by the old house of the leader's leader to dig for gold to relieve stress.
After that, Gin refused to show him the task list. Every time he thought of these things, Jiang Xia would go to the boss's hometown under a pseudonym... After a few visits, he became familiar with this route.
In addition, in Jiang Xia's impression, Dusk Villa can not only be used as a stress relief point after being targeted by Gin, but it is also the place where a case occurred.
——Back then, Karasuma Renya failed to find the treasure hidden in the annex and eventually sold it.
The current owner of the annex, in order to find the treasure, used Kidd's name a few days ago to send invitations to famous detectives from all over the country. He planned to blow up their retreat route as soon as the detectives arrived, trapping everyone inside and forcing them to find the treasure with their lives.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but miss the inbox at the door of his own detective agency - maybe he would also be on the invitation list this time.
...Unfortunately, the mailbox is far away in Tokyo and I can’t see it now.
However, despite his disappointment, he changed his mind and thought that even if he had not received the invitation letter, he would still have come to the vicinity of the Dusk Villa following his lucky boss.
Now that they are already nearby, based on the experience Jiangxia has accumulated along the way, they are probably not far from entering the Dusk Villa and participating in the treasure hunt.
…
At the same time, thinking of the Twilight Villa, Jiang Xia thought of his accounts with large balances.
After being strengthened with murderous aura, Miss Spider's claws are very useful whether it is climbing heights, drilling through cracks or cutting gold.
Jiang Xia drove a vest and went back and forth several times, working as a gold miner several times. Now, the gold in the protruding parts of the dusk villa, such as the eaves, roof ridges, animal head sculptures... have all been loaded onto trucks and taken away.
After digging out the protruding parts, he was bored again and set his sights on other more challenging parts - the other gold was mainly hidden between the inner and outer walls of the building, in a thick layer. Jiang Xia then evenly shaved off a thin layer of gold in this part.
...That is to say, now, even if the outer shell of the building collapses, the shape of the building that is revealed will not be too strange. At most, it will appear a little more rustic and lacking in decoration than before.
Jiang Xia was having fun digging at that time. After he evenly cut down a wall, he felt like he had just finished a very intense game and he couldn't muster the energy to start another one.
After losing interest, he originally wanted to give Dusk Villa to the organization in exchange for some reputation, and then go to another treasure hunting spot that he was not tired of, move treasures and exercise.
But if you think about it carefully, the Dusk Annex is the boss's hometown after all. After handing it over, the boss may find that the shapes of many buildings have changed. After digging up the surface buildings, the thinning gold layer inside may also be discovered... In short, if someone in Usa, Tokyo, suddenly reported a missing annex in Tottori Prefecture, the boss might be suspicious.
So until now, Jiang Xia has not taken any action. He plans to find a suitable opportunity to "discover" this villa.
And today, the right time seems to have come.
And Toru Amuro happened to be there.
The road was chosen by Bourbon, who had not been to Tottori Prefecture recently, and the car was also driven by Bourbon.
In this case, the gold that was dug up in advance by unknown persons obviously had nothing to do with Uzo and Bourbon who happened to come to Tottori Prefecture, and even less to do with Jiang Xia... Thinking of this, Jiang Xia yawned, closed his eyes decisively, and lay down on the driver's seat, concentrating on catching up on his sleep.
