Chapter 575 It’s not easy for Jiang Xia to survive till now
Kidd waited for a while, but didn't get the second half of the sentence, and Toru Amuro didn't seem to have any intention of continuing.
So he nodded, as a response to the first half of the reminder.
At the same time, he secretly muttered in his heart: According to Jiang Xia's skills, it would be easy to deal with one or two tire puncture offenders. But when Amuro Toru heard what he just said, his face turned very ugly...
Is he worried that Jiang Xia will take the opportunity to run away?
Not allowing Jiang Xia to go to the gas station with them might also be because they didn't want Jiang Xia to come into contact with the staff there and pass on the news.
…The influence of first impressions cannot be underestimated.
"Jiang Xia" remained calm on the surface, but he was always a little wary of Amuro Toru in his heart.
Kidd's control over his facial expressions was always very good. In addition, there were only a few people in this world who could disguise themselves to this degree.
So Toru Amuro never expected that when he went to buy some spare tires, when he came back, the person in front of him who looked exactly like Jiang Xia had actually had a new core.
Although he felt that Jiang Xia was a little impulsive this time, judging from some rumors in the police station, Jiang Xia had often chased criminals with a baton in the past. This kind of behavior was not out of place for him...
Toru Amuro was unable to see through the disguise immediately.
Just like he usually does when facing Jiang Xia: "Let's install the spare tire first."
"Jiang Xia" nodded and went to the trunk to find a jack.
The moment he opened the lid of the box, Kidd's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the corner of the trunk, there are some inconspicuous lines and interfaces, which are traces of the installation of surveillance equipment.
"……" Is this a device used to check the situation when the hostages are tied up and locked inside, to prevent them from suffocating or escaping?
...There is indeed something wrong with this boss.
And it’s a big problem!
Kidd became more alert. He pretended not to notice anything, found the jack, and adjusted the luggage to put the extra spare tire in.
…
When two people are equipping the tire together, the movements are inevitably a bit big.
Kidd, who was very observant, keenly discovered the gun hidden by Amuro Toru. Suddenly, he had a feeling of "matching".
——No wonder just now, after the sneak attack on Jiang Xia, he only pulled out a tranquilizer gun, but Jiang Xia decisively rushed into the bushes with many obstacles when he was about to draw his gun.
Now it seems that in Jiang Xia's eyes, that was probably not a tranquilizer gun at all, but a real gun that could take someone's life. No wonder he was so cautious...
After installing the spare tire, I got in the car again.
Kidd glanced at Amuro Toru who was driving, and secretly sighed for Jiang Xia.
...It's not easy to be a detective these days. You have to be on guard against fire and theft, and you have to be on guard against your boss. I heard that private detectives usually have to deal with a lot of confidential information. Maybe Jiang Xia accidentally discovered the secret of some big shot while working, and that big shot went to the boss of the detective agency he knew well and asked him to silence his employees. So now, Amuro Toru is looking for an opportunity to meet the client's request as naturally as possible.
Amuro Toru always took Jiang Xia to remote places when he had nothing to do, maybe he was also looking for a chance to kill her. But Jiang Xia was cautious, observant, and well prepared, so Amuro Toru never succeeded.
...Fortunately, now that he has a thief to help him overcome his difficulties, Jiang Xia no longer has to compete with this scumbag boss in wits and courage.
Kidd felt that he had done a good thing, and as he looked out the window at the gloomy sky, his mood improved.
…
On the way to Tottori City.
Toru Amuro occasionally glanced to the side and found that Jiang Xia was not taking a nap anymore. He lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
“……”Maybe thinking about the tires?
——Since Jiang Xia saw the figure in the woods, he might be able to get some key inspiration from it. Then, just like solving the case in the past, he would quickly sort out the cause and effect and find out the unknown creature that was chewing on the tire.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt a vague sense of anticipation.
However, before he could see the scene he was expecting, something went wrong again on the road.
——On a dark night, on a suburban highway, two cars were driving one after the other.
Amuro Toru was about to overtake, but at this moment, through the car window, he suddenly heard a familiar "bang" from the car in front.
Then, one of the tires of the car in front of us went flat, and the car body began to shake. Soon, the small Furth pulled over to the side of the road.
Then Toru Amuro stepped on the brakes: "..."
It was a remote place, and there seemed to be no signal on this road. There were very few vehicles passing by.
If we just leave the people in the car in front of us here, in the worst case scenario, we might see reports of the people in the car being killed in a couple of days.
…All in all, it’s hard to just leave it alone.
Toru Amuro originally just slowed down instinctively to avoid hitting the car in front.
After assessing the situation, he sighed inwardly and had to stop the whole car.
At the same time, considering that there was a member of the organization who was unaware of his undercover identity sitting in the co-pilot seat, Toru Amuro found an excuse to do a good deed as usual.
He clicked his tongue impatiently and whispered, "The tire burst right in front of us, so we couldn't pretend we didn't see it. It would be fine if they got killed in the mountains, but if they were lucky enough to get out alive and found that the license plate number of the car behind them was the same as the one you were in when you solved the cases before, we'd probably have a reputation for not helping people in need."
Kidd: “…”
...For the sake of fame, he actually hopes that others will get into trouble. This boss is definitely not a good person.
Kidd guessed Jiang Xia's possible reaction at this time, nodded silently, and did not respond.
The distance between the two cars quickly narrowed.
In an instant, Toru Amuro changed from a gloomy face to that of a sunny and friendly part-time worker.
He rolled down the car window under the complicated gaze of "Jiang Xia" and looked at the unlucky car with a flat tire: "Are you okay? Do you have a spare tire in the car?"
With the help of the car lights, I could vaguely see two people sitting in the car.
…
Amuro Toru's voice sounded friendly and sympathetic.
Kidd glanced at him from behind and thought that this guy was a pretty good actor.
As he was muttering, the door of the car in front opened, and a hunched old woman pushed open the door and walked out of the driver's seat.
She looked down at the punctured tire and sighed, "My baby Felt may not be able to leave. I forgot to put the spare tire back after putting the luggage away..." Then she looked up at Amuro Toru and said, "Young man, can you take me to the nearby Twilight Annex? I have to attend a dinner there."
"...Twilight Annex?" Toru Amuro had a vague impression of this place name, but it was not deep.
However, there was one thing he knew.
——The name of this place sounds like some Western-style mansion far away from the city.
And along the way, the western-style houses he encountered in the mountains...
