Chapter 628: Amuro Toru, Offline
Kazami Yuya: “……?”
He actually didn't quite understand why Toru Amuro suddenly said this.
But I intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the tone of my devilish boss - it didn't sound so devilish, but instead sounded like it had been ravaged by the devil.
...Speaking of which, before their team set off, Jiang Xia was a suspect of the cadre code-named "Wu Zuo".
Although along the way, with the manifestation of the nature of the Jiangxia incident, the possibility of "Jiangxia = Uzo" has been greatly reduced, but now... they are all looking for someone in the police station, and Mr. Fūya will not have any problems.
Yuya Kazami had a bad feeling in his heart and became alert: "Jiang...are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Toru Amuro had already finished his shower quickly. He was pressing the remote control to close the curtains and pulling the soft quilt of the star-rated hotel up to his chin. Lying in an environment without Jiang Xia or screams, he felt better than ever in the past few days:
"Pick two people who are good at stalking, and have them come to Zhifeng Hotel as local police officers to record Jiangxia's actions for me. There happens to be a ready-made case here, and many police officers have come. It won't be very conspicuous if you come directly here.
"Remember not to choose someone who has been around us before. Jiang Xia has a good memory, so be careful not to be discovered by him.
"Okay, that's it for now. If there's nothing urgent during this period, don't contact me."
Then he hung up the phone neatly.
Feng Jianyuya: "..."
He originally wanted to ask about Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo.
However, on second thought: Mr. Jōtani's sudden decentralization of the surveillance mission may indicate that Jiang Xia is not a big problem.
...But, since Jiang Xia had no problem, why didn't Mr. Furiya allow him to contact her? During this period, Mr. Furiya's job was to identify whether Jiang Xia was the code-named cadre. The organization's mission could only be done after arriving in Gunma Prefecture.
Yuya Kazami sensed something was wrong and wanted to call back immediately to get things done.
However, in the end, between curiosity and orders, orders prevailed.
He put down his phone silently.
——Perhaps Mr. Fūya encountered some unexpected situation, such as suddenly encountering a member of an organization who was carrying important information.
In this case, it is better not to disturb Mr. Fūya. He might soon start a mysterious battle with those dangerous members as "Bourbon". If I suddenly call him at this time, it may cause some irreparable losses.
Thinking of this, Yuya Kazami carefully exited the call interface to avoid accidental touches.
After a moment's pause, he sent an email to other teammates, asking them to pick two common faces and go to the hotel to keep an eye on Jiang Xia.
Surveillance was one thing. On the other hand, Jiang Xia's cell phone was still with them, and nominally it had been blown up, so there was no way to replace it immediately.
In this case, a famous detective with an event-oriented physique in a foreign land always feels prone to encounter all kinds of strange emergencies. It is necessary to send someone to keep an eye on it as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
…
Zhifeng Hotel.
In the room of the dead.
The deceased seemed to have been occupied by other things during his lifetime and had no time to pay attention to hygiene. His room was littered with scattered books and wads of paper, and there was leftover food in the corner. Because there was a "No Cleaning" sign hanging on the door and the windows were closed, after a few days, the air was filled with unpleasant odors, and the whole room became dirty.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to follow and look for clues.
However, a second after stepping into the room, he rationally changed his mind.
——There are so many police officers here. Matters like this should really be left to professionals. If an inexperienced high school detective like him goes in and rummages around, he might destroy some crucial evidence...
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia instinctively returned to the corridor covered with soft carpet.
After finding that he could smell the odor here, he entered the room again and walked to the window. After the police checked, he opened the window and breathed in the fresh air outside while watching the progress of the search by others.
…
Hattori Heiji was not so particular and mixed in with the police, searching everywhere.
He would also review things that the police had seen just to be on the safe side so as not to miss any clues.
After all, Hattori Heiji couldn't trust his police teammate. And Jiang Xia, who was standing next to him, respected the police too much and didn't even bother to search for the items out of consideration for protecting the scene...
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji glanced at Jiang Xia, who was standing in the corner, leaning against the window, with a low presence and trying not to cause trouble for the police, and sighed.
——I can only come by myself.
…
It turns out that this famous high school detective in Osaka is indeed very reliable when it comes to finding things.
Not long after, Hattori Heiji made a new discovery: "Hey, come and take a look at this!"
Jiang Xia turned around from the window and found Hattori Heiji standing in front of the closet.
The closet door was wide open, and there were so many clothes hanging inside that they almost filled the closet.
Jiang Xia walked closer and saw Hattori Heiji stretch out his hand and push his clothes to the sides, revealing the wooden board behind him.
——Several newspapers were hidden on the wooden board of the wardrobe.
At first glance, it looks like a layer of newspaper is put under the wardrobe to prevent clothes from rubbing against it.
But if you look closely, you can find that those newspapers are not just randomly pasted together, but specific reports are cut out, and there are obvious traces of outlines on the reports.
Hotels obviously don't post things like this for guests.
And if they are left by the previous guests, the cleaning staff will also clean them up.
In short, this should have been pasted there by the deceased himself.
…
The police removed the hanging clothes and carefully peeled off the newspapers, and found that each one was an independent report.
"Serial thefts of artworks", "Suspected reselling organization exists in the dark"... Several news items all point to the same theme.
"He actually posted case reports in his own room. He is indeed a screenwriter who is good at suspense scripts." The police officer looked through the newspapers in his hand, which were scribbled with short sentences and question marks, and looked like he was taking notes. He guessed, "Is he using these to find inspiration?"
"Art theft group..." Jiang Xia also leaned over to take a look at the newspaper, and flipped through the script in his hand.
Just now, he didn't just stand aside and do nothing. Instead, while waiting for the search, he read the scripts of the previous and next two episodes:
"There is no such organization in the script, nor any key items such as 'artworks'. The director said that this is a 5-episode short series. Since there is no such thing in the first two episodes, I'm afraid it won't appear again in the future - these reports should have nothing to do with 'searching for inspiration'."
As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards the crew members standing outside the door, peeking their heads in.
