Chapter 577 Why Are You Pretending to be Dead Again?
Qianjian Jiangdai looked at "Jiang Xia" sitting in the co-pilot seat and was startled at first, then recognized that this was a colleague.
Then he smiled and said, "It seems that even without me telling you, you will also go to the Twilight Villa... Young man, come and help me carry my luggage."
Kidd: “……?”
...The old woman already has a young man in her own car, why does she want to ask him to move the luggage?
Could it be that Tianranjuan is some distant relative of hers, and Grandma Qianjian spoils him like a grandson? ... Humph, spoiling is not good.
While complaining about Detective Chiken's educational methods, Kidd got out of the car silently despite the different treatment. He resigned himself to taking the luggage off Felt's car and stuffed it into Toru Amuro's car.
Toru Amuro came to his senses and got out of the car.
He glanced at Grandma Qianjian's exquisite small suitcase, then looked at Jiang Xia who was driving the puppet, and asked casually, "Where is your luggage?"
"I forgot to bring it." The curly-haired young man, Jiang Xia, who was wearing a vest, said casually, "Since we are going to that villa, the owner should help us prepare the necessary supplies."
"..." Amuro Toru was silent for a moment.
How come the voice is so similar? Could it be a relative of Matsuda? Tone is indeed related to genetics, as is this natural curly hair and many details of the facial features...
Next to her, Granny Qianjian nodded approvingly when she saw her suitcases carefully arranged.
Then she opened the car door and got into the back seat very familiarly.
Jiang Xia also walked to the other side and sat down.
Toru Amuro glanced at him and returned to the car with Kid, who was dressed as Jiang Xia.
Soon, the vehicles began to follow the instructions of Grandma Qianjian and drove towards the Dusk Villa.
…
Amuro Toru did know the armchair detective Chikena. He didn't recognize her at first, but after a few words, he matched the person with the reputation.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with his colleague, he inadvertently turned the topic to something he cared more about.
Amuro Toru glanced at Jiang Xia in the rearview mirror and asked in a natural tone: "You seem to speak with a Tokyo accent, are you from Tokyo too?"
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the window and nodded.
"..." This quiet personality is not very similar to Matsuda. Amuro Toru continued chatting, "There are no attractions worth seeing nearby. Are you here to visit relatives? Or have you received a commission?"
"Oh? Didn't you receive the invitation? There was also a check for 2 million yen with the letter. Some of my friends - several famous detectives - received it." The old voice of Chikan Kyouyo came, "I saw the report about Jiang Xia solving a case in Hyogo Prefecture before, and I just found him in the car, so I thought you must be here for the appointment."
As she spoke, she rummaged around in her handbag for a while and found an invitation letter. She passed it through the gap between the driver's seat and the passenger seat and handed it forward.
"Jiang Xia" on the co-pilot seat took it and opened it to check.
Amuro Toru also glanced over.
This invitation letter has white text on a black background and looks very unlucky, like an invitation from the god of death.
Compared to the packaging, the content is slightly normal - inviting the recipient to go to the Dusk Villa for a dinner.
However, there are obviously some things worth noting.
"The phantom child abandoned by God..." Amuro Toru immediately noticed this chuunibun and lengthy signature. After a moment of silence, he made some associations, "Kid?"
"Jiang Xia" next to him was suddenly called and stretched out the letter paper uncomfortably.
...I didn't expect this unscrupulous boss to be able to solve puzzles so quickly. Before, he thought that Amuro Toru was the kind of scumbag capitalist who had no ability and had to rely on squeezing Jiang Xia to improve his reputation.
…
Kidd had actually seen this kind of invitation before.
Although the sender's name was signed by him, it was not actually sent by him. Someone was impersonating him and summoning detectives.
This is also the reason why Kidd wanted to disguise himself and blend in to check the specific situation.
Kidd pretended to read the letter, refolded the paper, and handed it back to Chima Kyouyo in the back seat.
Then he shook his head: "We were on a business trip recently and didn't pay attention to the office's mailbox."
"Really?" Grandma Qianjian put away the invitation and smiled. "Since you are here, why don't you stay overnight at the Huanghun Villa? With the famous detective Jiang Xia here, the owner there will definitely not mind having two more guests."
Amuro Toru nodded thoughtfully: "Are all the people invited this time detectives?"
As he said that, he looked at Jiang Xia, who was wearing Matsuda's fur in the back seat again: "I've been too busy recently and haven't paid much attention to the news in the detective world... Is this the latest rookie?"
"Kurosawa is not a detective, he came here with me." Seeing that Jiang Xia had no intention of introducing herself, Chijian Kyoudai only mentioned the name Jiang Xia told her and didn't say much else. "It seems to be almost there." She pointed outside the window, "I was right. It's not far away."
“…” Kurosawa?
This surname, which he had occasionally heard, reminded Toru Amuro of someone he knew. The busy figure of Gin Chojiro flashed through his mind, and his mood dropped by 1.
At the same time, he felt that this was inconsistent with his own speculation: the person in his car, who looked somewhat related to Matsuda in every way, from his face to his clothing style to his appearance, was not named Matsuda?
Yes, relatives may not have the same surname.
And if it was the real person who came back from the dead, it would be more normal to use a pseudonym... Wait, what are you thinking about? Coming back from the dead is impossible. If you have time to think about this, you might as well think about faking your death...
The vehicle quickly drove over a bridge.
While thinking, Toru Amuro raised his head and looked diagonally upward through the car window.
The road ahead was winding, and at the end stood a large building. Overhead, there were dark clouds, and there were faint thunder and lightning. The dim light from the window of the dusk annex did not bring brightness and warmth, but instead looked like the eyes of a monster exposed in the cracks.
…
At dusk, the gate of the villa was wide open.
Through the sparse and poorly maintained fence, you can see the flat open-air parking lot in the yard.
Someone had already arrived, and at a glance, the parking lot was full of luxury cars.
Toru Amuro also quickly found a spot and parked the car.
After the car stopped, Jiang Xia and Grandma Qianjian pushed the door and got out.
Kidd, wearing Jiangxia's fur, went over and helped Qianjian Jiangdai carry her luggage down.
Just as I put the suitcase away, I heard the driver's door open.
Kidd was startled, he stood up and looked over, he saw that Toru Amuro had also come down - this unscrupulous boss had already locked the car door as if nothing had happened, and looked like he was going to go to the annex for a banquet with Grandma Chiken and the others.
Kidd: “……?”
He remembered that just now, when Chiken said she wanted to take a ride, Amuro Toru looked very reluctant. From Kid's perspective, with Amuro Toru concentrating on plotting against Jiang Xia, he probably wouldn't be willing to stay in the crowded annex, not to mention there were a bunch of detectives in the annex.
So Kidd has tools hidden in his hands and can damage the car at any time.
Unexpectedly...
