Chapter 613 The Mysterious Hostage
When Yuanshan Heye heard these words, she recalled the time when she and Jiang Xia went to watch the stars in the wilderness, but instead of seeing any stars, they stepped on a skull. She shuddered.
However, this time, she understood what Hattori Heiji meant.
Heiji wanted to say that there was something wrong with Amuro Toru - the boss of the agency where Jiang Xia worked, might have ruthlessly cut off Jiang Xia's external communications and was trying to find a place to kill his employees.
"But..." Yuanshan Heye thought of the many reports about Jiang Xia that he had seen recently and felt that something was wrong. "Every time they solved a case along the way, they would encounter the police. If there really was something wrong, Jiang Xia should have found a way to tell the police long ago. He is so smart..."
"Oh, what's the point of Jiang Xia being smart? As long as the policemen he contacts are dumb enough to not understand the hint, the news will still not be passed on."
After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that from the time they met until now, Jiang Xia seemed to have never given him any hints.
So he was silent for a moment, and then added: "Also, think about it, what if there is a hostage - for example, someone took you away and threatened me not to call the police and pretend nothing happened in front of the police. Can I shout "There is something wrong with the person next to me!" when I meet the police, and then save myself and watch you being silenced?"
Yuanshan and Ye were stunned and blushed for a moment because of this example.
Then he couldn't help but let his gossipy nature get the better of him and missed the point: "Jiang Xia has a girlfriend? Why haven't I heard Xiaolan tell her? Who is it?"... Could it be that Xiaolan's infatuated friend finally succeeded?
But when I asked her last time, didn't Sonoko shyly say that she didn't mean that, she just admired beauty? But Sonoko's words are deceitful, such words can't be believed... But Sonoko's blog was recently updated, she didn't disappear and was not taken hostage... Toyama Kazuha fell into deep thought for a while.
Hattori Heiji was confused by her question and failed to follow her train of thought: "I was just giving an example. What does this have to do with Jiang Xia's girlfriend..."
However, speaking of this, he did have some doubts.
——After Hattori Heiji discussed Jiang Xia’s disappearance with Conan, Conan also said that he did not notice anyone around him suddenly disappearing or behaving abnormally.
But the two agreed that this did not mean that Amuro Toru did not have any hostages in his hands.
Because the overlap between Conan and Jiang Xia's social circles is actually not very high - Jiang Xia doesn't go to school all day, so maybe he has a sweet little lover outside, and then that scumbag boss caught his weakness and took advantage of him.
Even, maybe the lover and Amuro Toru are in collusion. After all, according to Conan, for some reason, Jiang Xia is easily deceived by scumbags, and scumbags especially like to take the initiative to bump into him. Sometimes when they meet Gin outside, even Gin will look at Jiang Xia with appreciation... It is really worrying.
In addition, it is possible that Toru Amuro and his accomplices have planted a bomb or something like that in the home of someone who could threaten Jiang Xia. In this way, they don't need to kidnap the hostage, but they can still make the target act as a hostage...
Hattori Heiji thought about this, touched his chin, and felt that the situation was very complicated.
But no matter what, we will know the specific situation by asking Jiang Xia after we control Toru Amuro.
While he was thinking.
Yuanshan Heye also gradually came back to his senses from the gossip.
She looked at Amuro Toru and felt that this boss didn't seem like a bad person, so she whispered to Hattori Heiji: "But, this is just your and Kudo's guess, what if we are wrong..."
"If I'm not mistaken, if we don't take action now, we'll miss a rare opportunity."
As a stubborn high school detective, Hattori Heiji naturally possesses the characteristics of detectives, which is "extremely active", and is very decisive when making decisions:
"And we are not going to sentence that shady boss. We are just temporarily blocking his signal and trapping him for a while. If Jiang Xia is hesitant because of the hostages held by Amuro Toru, then if Amuro Toru cannot communicate with the outside world, Jiang Xia will definitely give us some useful hints."
In Hattori Heiji's opinion, Jiang Xia is definitely not the kind of person who would be frightened and obedient and not call the police if someone showed his weakness and asked him not to call the police.
On the contrary, as long as the opportunity arises, even if it is only for a moment, he will seize it immediately and make a sufficiently effective response.
And I am the hero who will bring opportunities to Jiang Xia.
...Although he couldn't beat Jiang Xia in solving cases, he actually had a chance to be his savior... Hattori Heiji was secretly happy. He felt that he had something to brag about to his dad when he got home. Otherwise, he would have been tired of hearing Hattori Heizo nagging about learning from Jiang Xia every now and then, and he didn't know where to start his rebuttal...
"It just so happens that my dad has been transferred here before, so I should be able to borrow a few reliable people this time."
When Hattori Heiji said this, he thought of the police's usual character and felt that the matter was of great importance.
So I sent another email to remind them to bring signal blockers.
When Toyama Kazuha heard him say this, he nodded doubtfully and was temporarily convinced.
However, women seem to be more sensitive to emotions. She recalled seeing Jiang Xia’s recent cases in the push notifications when she was browsing her phone. She always felt that from the attached photos, Jiang Xia was in a good mood.
Now, let’s take a look at the actual situation…
Jiang Xia's mood was actually better than what was reported.
Instead, it was the boss who looked listless.
Hmm... maybe it's like what Heiji said, Amuro Toru has repeatedly wanted to attack Jiang Xia but repeatedly missed the opportunity, so his mood keeps dropping and he has become like this?
And now, Jiang Xia became happy after seeing them, because he thought that after meeting Heiji, he could pass on the news about the hostages?
Yuanshan Heye thought of this and nodded secretly.
——Heiji’s intuition and judgment are usually quite accurate. In that case, let’s just listen to him for now.
After sending the confirmation email, Hattori Heiji recalled the situation at the surrounding campus cultural festival and quickly came up with an idea of the next "capture location".
He whispered a few words to Yuanshan Heye, quietly explaining some precautions and the parts that required her help to complete.
Yuanshan Heye glanced at Jiang Xia, who was quietly listening to the director explaining the script, and a burning sense of responsibility burned in her heart. She nodded enthusiastically and slipped out silently through the side door.
…
The supporting role that Jiang Xia received did have very few scenes.
He is not the murderer, but just a tool responsible for providing clues related to the murderer.
——To be more specific, they are the kind of mysterious people who, after discovering a body, refuse to report the crime or run away immediately. Instead, they walk up to the body, look at it with curiosity and fear, and then pick up the murder weapon to take a look.
