Chapter 654: Various Faces Asking for Monthly Tickets (〃〃)
So Jiang Xia finally ignored the murderous aura.
After being played with by a ghost for a while, the murderous aura will not decrease. It's just that when I chew it later, I always feel that there is something strange when I think about it being used as a toy.
So in the tattoo space, Jiang Xia cleverly divided the murderous energy into several piles. One of the small piles was for the murderous energy that had been played with by the ghosts, and was prepared to be used to feed the mermaids who loved to play with food...
After giving up on pulling the murderous aura out of the ghosts.
Jiang Xia looked at the innkeeper again. He saw that he was just impulsive and had a little murderous intent, but there was no further output, so there was no need to keep staring at him.
Only then did he retract his gaze.
At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Amuro Toru: Boss, look at other bosses...
…
Shancuncao didn't pay attention to the hotel owner's bulging veins. He wasn't trying to get angry on purpose. He just said whatever came to his mind. His mouth always spoke faster than his brain.
"The newspaper is not in the room now. Was it taken away by the murderer?"
When the detectives helped him stop the innkeeper, Shancun Cao fell into new contemplation:
"Also, why old newspapers? Is this some kind of secret code? Or were there gold flakes or small diamonds secretly inserted into the newspapers, but you didn't notice it at the time..."
"We looked through it carefully, and there was nothing in the newspaper. It could be a treasure map or something like that."
Jiang Xia pondered with him, as if recalling what he saw last night: "Although there is no evidence, the newspaper title is 'Akagi Maru', and Akagi Maru was 'East Front' at the time - this may be a reference to the 'front' Jizo in the 'head' God Forest.
"Also, I remember there was a page with his record, 14 wins and one loss. The loss happened to be the 8th game.
"So the whole newspaper may mean starting from that Ksitigarbha and walking eastward eight steps, or eight meters."
The innkeeper was stunned: "You guessed it yesterday?"... Otherwise, with so many competition records, why would you specifically remember Akagi Maru?
Jiang Xia sighed, "I did have some ideas last night. But it was too late and the weather was bad. It would be dangerous if we went into the woods to dig in the storm at night. And the point about 'the hidden place in front is east 8' is just a guess. The mark on the newspaper may have other meanings, so I want to wait until dawn to make a decision."
"..." The innkeeper originally thought that Jiang Xia was too patient, but after thinking carefully, if Jiang Xia really told him in advance, then given his adventurous personality, he might really go there with a shovel in the middle of the night... So he remained silent for the time being.
Next to him, another boss, Toru Amuro, did not seem to be dissatisfied with Jiang Xia's concealment of the "treasure map".
...Because Jiang Xia actually told him yesterday.
Last night, when he was getting ready to go to sleep, Jiang Xia, who was sleeping on the floor next door, seemed to be thinking seriously.
Then, when he was finally about to fall asleep, Jiang Xia seemed to suddenly understand the mystery of the newspaper. He told him his speculation about the treasure and asked him if he wanted to tell the innkeeper to complete this temporary commission as soon as possible.
At that time, Amuro Toru was wrapped in a warm blanket, listening to the fierce wind and rain outside the window, thinking that the treasure would not grow wings and fly away even if it was buried for a few more hours. Moreover, they had just arrived here and did not know the boss's temperament very well. What if they dug out something incredible like a hidden corpse with a shovel, and then the murderer hiding in the hotel realized that he was exposed and escaped at night... It was really difficult to chase him at night, and with the heavy rain, even the police dogs were of little use...
In short, it is better to wait until there is a signal and the police can be found at any time before digging.
Jiang Xia has always been a very considerate subordinate. After hearing what he said last night, he immediately had no objection and decided to tell the innkeeper the next day.
Toru Amuro was able to continue sleeping.
Afterwards, when he woke up this morning, Toru Amuro was so refreshed that he accidentally forgot about this little episode in his half-asleep and half-wakefulness state... Who would have thought that something would happen that night.
Speaking of which…
When Amuro Toru thought of this, he forgot to glance in the direction of the restaurant.
We haven’t had time to eat breakfast today, and the people in the room should be about the same, especially Maori and his group... Aren’t they hungry?
…
You won’t feel hungry if you have sex in the mountain village.
On the contrary, he was now excited.
The word "treasure map" itself represents mystery and wealth... Although as a policeman, even if he digs up something, he can only hand it over to the country or return it to the owner, but this does not prevent him from experiencing the wonderful process of treasure hunting.
He waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Did you hear me? Go dig!"
Then he couldn't help but run out excitedly and borrowed a shovel from the innkeeper who disliked him.
…
Of course the detectives followed, pursuing the case as if it had become some kind of instinct.
Mao Lilan walked in the forest with a group of people, listening to the police and local staff discussing the suicide legend in the "Head God Forest" and the murder of the man in red. She got goose bumps all over her body. She hugged her arms and felt cold all over.
Just when I was about to hold something warm and light to give myself courage, a whiff of fragrance suddenly wafted over from the side.
He turned around in confusion.
Jiang Xia was holding a few packaged beef buns and handed one to her: "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Here."
Then he held the food bag and passed it out along the way. In the end, he saved one for himself and took a bite of it while it was still steaming.
“……”Ran Mao Li took a bite and felt much warmer. She squinted her eyes comfortably.
Next to him, Conan's movements and expressions were in perfect sync with hers. But for some reason, even though the buns in his hand smelled delicious, he always intuitively felt that he had missed something...
This inexplicable thought quickly dissipated. Conan concentrated on eating breakfast - they didn't eat well yesterday, and just when they wanted to put down their luggage to eat today, they unfortunately encountered a murder case and had no time to eat. Fortunately, Jiang Xia cleverly took some portable breakfast. People tend to feel cold when they are hungry, but now the body feels slowly becoming comfortable.
Toru Amuro glanced at the bun in his hand, then took a bite. He felt that Jiang Xia's movements of distributing breakfast were somewhat skilled.
And this bag...
He asked in confusion: "Where did it come from?"
Jiang Xia ate the breakfast in his hand on time and lived a healthy life: "I asked the staff for it when I passed by the restaurant just now."
...It's common sense to always keep an eye on any portable food around you when Conan is around.
Even Huiyuan Ai gradually realized this truth and often prepared some portable food for him so that he could take it and eat it at any time. I believe that after a period of time, the boss will also realize this truth.
And with the amount of money Toru Amuro has squeezed from the organization, by the time he figures it out, maybe he'll be able to come up with a more luxurious upgraded version of the portable dishes... Jiang Xia is looking forward to this future.
