Chapter 657: The End of the Inspector
There was a sharp squeak from above. It had rained heavily yesterday, and the leaking roof of the mansion could not withstand the heavy rain. Raindrops gathered on the second floor, seeped through the damp ceiling, and dripped onto Shancuncao's face.
Shancuncao raised his head stiffly and saw a group of bats gathered above his head, countless tiny eyes flickering in the light of the flashlight.
Almost at the same time, a dark white shadow flashed by in his peripheral vision, so fast that it seemed like an illusion. Shancuncao trembled and looked in the direction where the white shadow had passed, but just as he turned his head, the shadow flashed by again in another direction. Although its speed was too fast to be caught in the dim room, Shancuncao always felt that it was like a figure wearing pure white clothes.
...As we all know, many ghosts like to wear white clothes and wait quietly in a dark room until they tear their prey into pieces.
“……” Shancun Cao’s mind went blank.
The third time he saw the ghost-like figure, he couldn’t help but howl, “Ah ...
…
outside the house.
When Toru Amuro heard the scream that seemed to tear the mansion apart, he breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the mansion door behind him.
Practice what you fear, fight poison with poison.
He released his hand that was pulling Jiang Xia out of the door, and pointed to the rooftop to the worried employee - although there were stairs leading to the second floor on the first floor, they were very old and several floors were broken.
So it’s better to go around the mountain to the second floor, enter directly from the second floor window, and search there.
Before leaving, another round of screams belonging to Shancuncao came from behind.
Jiang Xia looked back twice, somewhat concerned: He wondered if Inspector Yamamura, who was so cowardly, would reveal murderous intent when he was scared to the limit... If so, referring to the cowardice and murderous intent of vodka, maybe Yamamura's flavor would also be special?
Toru Amuro noticed Jiang Xia's gaze, he stretched out his hand firmly and pulled the soft-hearted high school detective away - the policeman in the room needed more training, and his screams were full of energy, and he was still a long way from his limit, so he needed to continue practicing.
The two people left with their own thoughts.
…
Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru climbed up the slope together, climbed into the second floor through the open window, and went straight into the house.
This old western-style house has poor sound insulation. The floor under my feet can't block out Shancuncao's screams.
Similarly, because the wooden boards were rotten, Jiang Xia would occasionally make noises when he stepped on the floor, and the same went for Amuro Toru next to him.
So every time the "crunching" sound of footsteps was accompanied by Shancuncao's suspicious screams from below, like a nonsensical and funny duet.
To be honest, it doesn't sound very nice.
However, Toru Amuro felt happy after hearing this.
"..." Jiang Xia looked at him with regret. It was a pity that the boss seemed to be planning to stop observing the "Uzo suspect". Otherwise, with their current energetic state, they could have encountered a few more cases without worrying about the boss being overworked...
Amuro Toru suddenly looked around and lowered his voice:
"There might be someone on this floor. I have a feeling I'm being watched by something."
"..." Jiang Xia's eyes drifted to the side, then quickly stabilized, pretending that he was observing, and nodded solemnly, "Me too."
…
After being alert.
As he walked forward, Amuro Toru listened and gradually heard a very faint moan from the creaking sound of stepping on the floor and the "Ahhhhhhhhh!" sound coming from downstairs.
He was startled and looked at Jiang Xia, who gestured to him in the direction where the sound came from.
Then the two of them walked over with light steps.
Soon it stopped at the door of a room.
The door was tightly closed.
Toru Amuro stopped at the door, listened carefully for a while, suddenly kicked the door open, and then slipped back behind the door.
Jiang Xia shone his flashlight in at the same time, and saw a man wearing the employee uniform of Aoiya Hotel and with half a sack on his head, lying in the middle of the room. He seemed to be having a nightmare, his hands and feet occasionally twitched and fluttered, and he mumbled something in his mouth.
Jiang Xia looked into the room and was not surprised that there was someone here.
Last night, because he didn't want the screams of Shenbao Daxiong to disturb the guests and the police who were resting in the hotel, he considerately brought him a little further away and brought him here when he was squeezing out the murderous aura.
In addition, when he left, all the murderous aura on Shenbao Daxiong was knocked off, but the shikigami was still there. In order to prevent this man from escaping with the three shikigami, Jiang Xia took the anesthetic that he always carried with him from his main body and gave Shenbao Daxiong an injection.
Now it seems that this anti-escape measure is quite effective.
…
Toru Amuro observed for a moment, cautiously approached the man lying on the ground, and slowly opened the sack.
On the ground, the outlaw with several lives on his hands gradually came to his senses, and when he saw someone, he actually shuddered.
Immediately afterwards, with the help of the stray flashlight, the divine treasure Nobita recognized Jiang Xia at a glance, looking past Amuro Toru.
It's that famous detective.
High school detectives often represent justice.
There is help!
Shenbao Daxiong struggled to stretch out his hand, trying to pull Jiang Xia's trouser leg, but he couldn't reach it.
So he had no choice but to grab Amuro Toru's sleeve, his eyes rolling around in fear, looking around: "Help, there's a pervert trying to kill me!"
Toru Amuro: "...?"
...Shouldn't it be Shenbao Daxiong who killed others? This person is definitely the murderer.
Toru Amuro looked carefully at the man's work uniform and the natural curls on his head, and felt that he was right - he was indeed the man who strangled the fake Jiang Xia in last night's surveillance video.
But looking at the man's distorted face, he was not so sure.
"Pervert? You look so miserable, were you robbed?" Jiang Xia squatted down and looked at Shenbao Daxiong, questioning, "By the way, was it you who took the 'Front-falling Jizo'?"
"Falling forward Jizo?"
Shenbao Daxiong was confused at first, and then his expression turned panic: "I didn't touch the Ksitigarbha. If it's lost, it must have been taken away by that pervert! He, he hasn't gone far, he's downstairs! Listen to the screams downstairs, he must be torturing people! Catch him quickly!"
Toru Amuro: "..."
They had already searched downstairs, and now there was no one else there except Shancuncao. Moreover, Shancuncao's howling was quite stable, without any changes, which meant that he was not frightened at all, and he probably didn't suddenly encounter some "pervert who likes to torture people" or something like that.
Therefore, Shenbao Daxiong probably only felt that there was a "pervert" down there because of Yamamura Cao's screams.
…Although it sounds outrageous, Shenbao Daxiong doesn’t look like he is lying. In other words, in this incident, in addition to the fake Jiang Xia and Shenbao Daxiong, there is actually a mysterious third party?
...It's getting more and more troublesome.
It’s better to take the person back first and let the local police inquire about the situation.
