Chapter 596: Message before death plus update to the leader [Do not change the name if it does not conform to the Tao]
Toru Amuro was right next to Jiang Xia.
Hearing him say that, I walked around and looked at the piano cover: "...Indeed."
At the same time, he frowned secretly, feeling a little confused.
…I always feel that Matsuda’s speed in finding clues is a little abnormal.
This room is not small. In addition to the piano, there are many places where clues may be hidden, such as the closet next to it, the balcony, and behind the door. However, Matsuda immediately went around to the other side and observed the piano cover.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, Matsuda's gaze hardly lingered anywhere else, and immediately came to the angle facing the piano cover.
It was so fast that it was as if they knew there was a problem in advance...
“…”
Amuro Toru suddenly thought that this "fast enough to go against common sense" speed of finding clues actually gave him a strong sense of déjà vu...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at "Jiang Xia" who was also leaning over to check the bottom of the piano.
Of course, because just now, when facing the car explosion, this "Jiang Xia"'s reaction was a little bit inconsistent. In addition, this case is related to Kidd, Amuro Toru suspects that the "Jiang Xia" next to him is actually Kidd in disguise.
so……
Could it be that Kid disguised himself as Jiang Xia, and then disguised Jiang Xia as someone else? - For example, the young man in front of him who looked very much like "Matsuda" but called himself "Kurosawa"?
This thought flashed through Toru Amuro's mind for a moment.
But when I think about it rationally, it seems a bit ridiculous.
And this assumption is full of flaws.
First of all, if this is the case, then there is no way to explain his familiarity with "Kurosawa" when they played billiards together before - Matsuda is not keen on taking photos, and even less so on recording videos, so it is difficult for others to imitate his small movements through images. In other words, if someone really deliberately imitated Matsuda's every move, it should have been when Matsuda was still alive.
When Matsuda was killed in the bombing, Jiang Xia was only 15 years old... Let alone Jiang Xia had no motivation to imitate Matsuda. Even if he did, three years later, Jiang Xia's height has increased a lot, and his body shape has also changed accordingly. Even if he imitated Matsuda at that time, it must be different now.
Moreover, there was no reason for Jiang Xia to follow Kidd's advice and team up with this thief to cheat his boss... After all, Jiang Xia knew that "Amuro Toru" was not just an ordinary "Amuro Toru" who loved part-time jobs, but a dangerous "Bourbon" in the organization. Leaking this identity would be dangerous for him, Jiang Xia, and the person who was forced to hear the secret, so Jiang Xia had no motivation to do so.
Toru Amuro: "..." Wait?
If you think about it carefully, there is nothing to be entangled about.
——Whether there is a disguise or not, you can tell by pinching Matsuda's face. After all, a disguise is not something that can be torn apart easily.
Thinking of this, Amuro couldn't help but turn his head and glance at "Kurosawa" who was right next to him and could be touched by him, and his fingers moved.
But then he thought again, based on his observation, there were also cameras installed in this piano room.
If Matsuda really was someone else's disguise, and underneath the disguise was a face that shouldn't be seen by others...
Tsk, forget it for now.
Then find an angle where the camera can't capture it and tear it slowly, so as not to be seen by strangers with unclear positions.
…
Although Toru Amuro has good control over his facial expressions, Jiang Xia has worked with him for such a long time that he is now very familiar with the boss's facial expressions when he is imagining things.
Jiang Xia also knew that the speed at which he discovered clues was so fast that it was a little suspicious...but what did it matter?
Now he is Uzo after all, so nothing is surprising to him.
In fact, if one's imagination were to increase its power, one might even think that the entire incident was planned by him, an innocent passerby.
…It’s really fun to open a small account. If you are misunderstood, you don’t have to explain. If you meet the scared person in the future, you may be able to scare him out of his murderous intent.
As for what "Uzo" and Jiangxia have in common...
There are many kinds of geniuses in the world, and often more than one. Since there are geniuses who solve crimes, there are also geniuses who commit crimes. Isn't it reasonable that the two are equally fast in finding clues?
...The only problem is that for some reason, whenever Toru Amuro stares at him, he feels a phantom pain on his face. Obviously, puppets don't feel pain.
...Never mind, it’s not a big deal.
Puppets are different from disguises. Solid puppets are not afraid of being torn. Only when they are cut with a knife can the flaws be seen from the internal structure.
But the boss probably wouldn't do such a crazy thing. Of course, if he did, he would probably be close to collapse. The broken boss can't be kept, so he can only be tied back to create a murderous perpetual motion machine...
…
Both of them were distracted for a short while.
Then he quickly remembered the important matter.
——There were evenly distributed wet stains on the tilted piano cover, but there was not much water on the ground. This quickly reminded people of the small spray bottle on Gunda Ikumi's body.
If I remember correctly, Ikumi Gunda carried a bottle of luminol reagent with her, which she had used in the hall just now.
The wet marks on the piano now were probably sprayed there by her to check for clues.
Luminol reagent is a commonly used tool for detecting blood stains. The strong oxidant produced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide in the solution and ferrous ions in hemoglobin can make the reagent fluoresce.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suggested: "Turn off the lights and see."
Kidd, who was dressed as Jiang Xia, responded, walked to the wall very consciously, and turned off the light with a click - as an employee, when with the boss, you have to take the initiative to grab work...
Kidd finished running his errands quickly and felt that he knew how to judge the situation.
But suddenly he felt that Toru Amuro seemed to look at him with suspicion in his eyes, as if he further confirmed that something was wrong.
But after turning off the lights, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and it was temporarily difficult for people to see their surroundings, and the same was true for Kidd.
He couldn't be sure whether this was true or just an illusion caused by his guilty conscience.
After his eyes adjusted to the light, he took a closer look and saw that Toru Amuro was not looking at him, but was staring intently at the piano lid.
"..." Kidd hesitated for a moment, but he was still interested in the treasure, so he decided to walk closer and find out what was inside.
...Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that he seemed to have been exposed.
Fortunately, there is still a murderer who killed the gourmet detective watching behind the camera, and Kidd should be just a secondary target of these detectives.
Before the murderer is solved, he won't be the most conspicuous target. As long as he escapes in time, it won't be a big problem...
…
As the surroundings darkened, several lines of fluorescent text appeared on the piano lid.
——This is a line of blood writing. It was once tried to be removed, but in the end, it still left traces in front of the reagent:
[I finally have the trump card to find the treasure - Chigen Kyousuke]
