Chapter 589: Surviving without a Car (Anti-theft Extra)
Looking out the window of the restaurant, you can see a corner of the parking lot.
But the whole picture cannot be seen.
Although the others were not so obsessed with the car, they also felt that what the cowboy detective said made some sense. They nodded, stood up, and prepared to go to the yard to check the condition of the vehicle. After all, seeing is believing.
…
When he reached the hall and was about to leave, Toru Amuro paused for a moment, thinking of Jiang Xia's PTSD which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.
——According to Conan and some other gossip. For Jiang Xia, the "damaged car" plus the "explosion" seemed to be one of the most direct triggering factors, and there was a chance that Jiang Xia would quickly fall into a state of being idle as if he had lost his soul.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at "Jiang Xia" who followed him: "You stay in the hall. Don't go too far away from the door. If someone attacks you, you can run outside."
Kidd was stunned and nodded. His first reaction was to be secretly alert: Could it be that the scumbag boss was afraid that Jiang Xia would escape without permission as soon as he got outside?
However, as the others opened the door and went out, and then closed it again, Kidd vaguely heard the crackling sound of the vehicle burning through the gap between the door opening and closing.
“…”
He gradually remembered that some tabloids seemed to have said that when Jiang Xia encountered a car accident, his reaction would slow down and his speed in solving cases would drop significantly.
...Although I don't know where the news came from, it is highly credible based on reports on corresponding cases.
In the past, when Kidd disguised himself and went to the black market to experience life, he occasionally heard some outlaws say: they planned to pretend to be innocent clients, invite Jiang Xia to the crime scene, and then take advantage of Jiang Xia's weakness, slow down his speed of solving the case, and eventually make Jiang Xia a witness that they had not committed a crime - in this world that values detective reasoning, after committing a crime, successfully escaping from Jiang Xia can barely be regarded as a trump card for exoneration.
Thinking of this, Kidd looked at the closed door and sighed in his heart.
The detective I played had a really unfortunate fate.
I don’t know whether those cunning criminals who try to take advantage of other people’s weaknesses have implemented their sinister plans yet... Tsk, after this incident is over and I leave, I have to find a way to remind Jiang Xia.
...But if Jiang Xia really had similar PTSD, then the scumbag boss seemed to be quite humane in this regard? He actually took the initiative to remind him to avoid it.
...Of course, we cannot rule out that he was being considerate on the surface but secretly using this opportunity to let Jiang Xia relax his vigilance; or he was worried that if Jiang Xia behaved too abnormally, other detectives would find out something was wrong, and even the police and the hospital would intervene, making it difficult for him to harm his employees.
Kidd recalled Jiang Xia's quick reaction to the sneak attack by "Amuro Toru", Jiang Xia's cell phone being taken away, Jiang Xia's action of running into the forest instead of running to the gas station, and Amuro Toru's actions of installing surveillance cameras in the trunk and whispering that he hoped others would die when they had a flat tire...
The label he put on Toru Amuro in his heart was still very firmly marked as "suspicious scum".
…
outside the house.
Toru Amuro was standing under the awning in front of the gate and suddenly sneezed.
He came to his senses and felt the cold wind outside. He suspected that it was because he hadn't had a full night's sleep for several days and was tense every day, which led to a decrease in his resistance.
…
A group of detectives stood at the prominent gate, looked to the side, and clearly saw several burning cars.
The fire was extremely intense. At this rate, it would not be surprising if the vehicle suddenly exploded in the next second.
And all the cars were burning, no one was spared.
Jiang Xia, wearing Matsuda Jinpei's vest, leaned against the corridor, glanced at the Alfa Romeo whose skeleton could only be barely made out, and then secretly looked at the cowboy detective with expectation in his eyes: it would be unjustifiable if he didn't show some murderous aura when his wife was innocently blown up.
Yet the detectives seemed extremely ethical.
The cowboy detective's resolute face was coated with a layer of fire, which showed only deep sadness and anger, but not the murderous intent that Jiang Xia wanted to see.
Finally, the tall detective just clenched his fist with a sullen face, determined to catch the organizer behind the scenes and hand him over to the police. At the same time, he looked at his beloved car and sighed sadly.
Jiang Xia also looked at him and sighed sadly. Scumbag, that's it?
Just as I was thinking about it, a question came from the side.
Amuro Toru came closer again without knowing when, carefully observing his expression, with a hint of confusion: "What's wrong? Your car is not here."
Jiang Xia: “…”
…Why does it feel like the boss is watching Matsuda more closely than he is watching “himself”? Does he still remember that he is conducting an observation experiment on “Jiang Xia”?
...unprofessional, in short, very unprofessional.
I felt quite condemned in my heart, but I could only calmly shake my head and said, "I just think it will be difficult to leave here without a means of transportation."
"..." Amuro Toru thought that it didn't matter - his subordinates were still following behind. When Feng Jian and his men got halfway and found that the bridge was broken, they would definitely find an excuse to come in and pick them up. But in order to avoid suspicion, they probably wouldn't come too fast...
The cowboy detective lost his beloved wife and looked at his car with a glazed vision, but he had not yet lost his detective instinct.
He scanned the row of cars and found it a little strange: "Grandma Qianjian and her friends came in that Mazda, mine was an Alfa Romeo, the Ferrari was Miss Qiangtian's, and the one in the upper class was that Porsche..."
He counted four cars, but there were five burning in the parking lot.
Others have also noticed the problem.
Toru Amuro looked at Hakuba and said, "Is that Mercedes yours? You seem to be just 17 years old."... You have to be 18 to get a driver's license, driving without a license?
Bai Ma Tan shook his head and firmly pushed away the pot that fell towards him: "I took a taxi here."
The maid followed out and whispered, "That one might be the master's car. It was already parked there when I arrived at the annex early to prepare for the dinner."
"I see." Gunda Ikumi looked at the maid, "Then how did you get here?"
"I drove here... The master said it was impolite to park my car at the front door, so he asked me to park at the back door." At this point, the maid bit her thumb distressedly and said sadly, "It must have been blown up now."
The others were stunned: "Let's go to the back door and check." What if it didn't explode?
They turned toward the main door, intending to return to the lobby and cross the atrium to the back door.
When he pushed the door open, he almost bumped into "Jiang Xia" who was eavesdropping at the door.
Kidd dodged back nimbly, saving his carefully disguised face.
The door here was well soundproofed, so he couldn't hear the conversation outside: "...What happened?"
