Chapter 591: Unqualified (Anti-theft extra update)
The other side.
In the dark forest, the little Beetle, with its pale headlights on, went down the winding mountain road.
After nearly ten minutes, we finally arrived near the suspension bridge.
Grandma Qianjian stopped the car and opened the door.
After half of her body got out of the car, she seemed to feel a little cold, so she wrapped her scarf around her and shrank back.
The other three looked at her, said nothing, got out of the car, and went to the suspension bridge to check the situation.
There was a solid wooden bridge with signs of being blown apart and burned at both ends, and the middle section had completely fallen off, falling into the bottomless valley below.
"Jiang Xia" lowered his head to observe for a moment, staring at the bridge intently, and said to the car: "Grandma Qianjian, change to low beam, so you can't see clearly under your feet."
As he spoke, he knocked on the railing and estimated the distance between the two sides of the canyon: Just as he had thought before, combined with the whistling wind blowing towards this side, it was not easy to fly over there with a hang glider.
Toru Amuro was looking at the road across the bridge, trying to see if there were any public security officers peeking around.
Jiang Xia followed Amuro Toru and looked in that direction - if there were police officers there and they saw a suspicious man in black following Amuro Toru, they probably wouldn't take the initiative to stick their heads out.
In this way, the group of people can naturally stay in the annex for a while longer, waiting for the dramatic detectives to finish their performance and get rid of their murderous intent, and then leave.
Behind the three people, the car lights changed.
At the moment when the high beam changed to low beam, the vehicle suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
——The only remaining car also exploded and instantly caught fire.
The three people on the bridge suddenly turned around and looked inside through the front window of the car, only to see a flash of fire.
The vehicle's handbrake failed, and the damaged car was pushed by the blast, sliding down the slope and instantly crushing the three people.
None of the three people tried to stop it, but instinctively stepped back.
The car followed the path they had cleared and plunged into the cliff.
Jiang Xia raised his hand and put out the small flame that had touched his body: "..."
…I always feel that according to this scene, if I rush over and shout “Mother-in-law!”, the scene will be complete.
…But this doesn’t really fit with Uzo’s character. Forget it.
Just as he was thinking about it, "Jiang Xia" next to him seemed to come back to his senses.
He chased to the broken bridge in surprise, looked down at the bridge, and shouted in vain: "Grandma Qianjian——!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
He stared at "himself" from behind: seeing the vehicle explode at close range, shouldn't he consider hanging up the machine appropriately?
...However, according to Jiang Xia's observation, in the occasional related reports, the reporters did not describe in detail his specific state when he was AFK, perhaps out of consideration for "protecting the privacy of underage detectives", and only said that "the speed of solving cases will be obviously affected."
Kidd may have been misled by this description, thinking that Jiang Xia would simply lose his composure and slow down his case-solving speed after encountering the vehicle explosion.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed inwardly - although Kidd would usually conduct detailed investigations on his disguised targets, occasionally, this thief would be lazy and even made a major mistake of "mistaking the target for a man when disguising as a tomboy and acting as a man".
This time, Kidd suddenly wanted to replace "Jiang Xia", probably more out of interest. It is inevitable that there will be flaws.
And on the bright side, this is actually more convenient - if Kidd really starts to go AFK professionally, this bridge is so far away from the Dusk Annex, he and Amuro Toru will have to find a way to get him back... It's better to be like this now.
The fire and the car quickly disappeared at the bottom of the cliff.
The sounds of raging fire and cracking materials also all faded away.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from "Jiang Xia" and secretly glanced at Amuro Toru.
The boss's eyes when he looked at "Jiang Xia" were definitely wrong.
After staring at "Jiang Xia" for two seconds, Toru Amuro remembered something, turned around and looked at the real Jiang Xia with complicated eyes.
At the same time, Kidd also finished the "heartbreaking" scene he had added, turned around, and also looked at "Kurosawa" with secret vigilance.
——They all saw the flaws revealed by Grandma Qianjian before, and realized that this old lady was most likely the "organizer" who planned everything tonight.
And Kurosawa is her "companion" who appears with her.
Jiang Xia remembered the identity of "Qianjian's descendant companion" that he had obtained through fraud, and understood the reactions of the two people.
He acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's go back and tell everyone about the situation here. Fortunately, this place is not too far from the annex, and it won't take much time to walk back along the road... I didn't expect another victim to appear so soon."
“…”
Although the atmosphere between the three people was a bit strange, they finally set out on the return journey together, walking farther and farther away along the mountain road.
…
After a while.
It seemed as if he was sure that they had gone far away and would not attack again.
Beside the bridge, a bush half a person's height suddenly moved, and a hunched old woman walked out from it.
Qianjian Jiangdai, who was "killed in the car explosion while sitting in the car", looked at the direction the three people left, then turned to look at the broken bridge with tiny flames, shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the direction of the Dusk Villa.
——Chima Kyouyo is the "organizer" who impersonated Kid, summoned detectives, and killed the gourmet detective.
The bloody story she just told in the restaurant as the "host" was half true and half false.
——Forty years ago, a massacre did occur in the annex, but in fact, it did not happen during Karasuma’s memorial service, but when Karasuma Renya was still alive.
At that time, Karasuma discovered that there was a considerable treasure hidden in this family-owned Twilight Villa, so he wanted to ask someone to help him find it.
Grandma Chiken's father was an archaeologist. At that time, Chiken's father and a group of scholars were invited by Karasuma Renya to come to this annex to search for treasures.
Qianjian and her mother were initially surprised by the generous rewards that Qianjian's father sent back.
However, the good times did not last long. Half a year later, Qianjian's father lost contact.
The last letter he sent home was pierced with numerous small holes by needles. These were the secret codes left by Qian Jian's father, describing the atrocities that took place in the annex:
Karasuma Renya felt that his death was near, and the scholars he invited only ate the funds and could not find the treasure at all. In the end, the cold-blooded Karasuma killed them one by one in the annex, hoping that those who had not been killed could be watered with blood and stimulate their potential to find treasure.
If someone could discover the truth hidden in the letter earlier, they might have a chance to bring people there and bring Karasuma Renya, who had not yet left, to justice, or at least rescue the survivors.
...But unfortunately, by the time Grandma Qianjian deciphered the truth hidden in the family letter, more than 20 years had passed since the tragedy.
