Chapter 677 Go, Matsuda Ball
Toru Amuro withdrew his hand from Hozumi's no longer beating artery, stood up, glanced at Jiang Xia, and felt that his sudden remark was a bit of a nonsense.
...It sounds like he is complaining about Watanuki Tatsuzo's confusing behavior, but in fact, maybe Jiang Xia, like himself, is also very disgusted with this kind of random killing behavior. It's just because the organized "Bourbon" is next to him that Jiang Xia can't bear to say anything. He can only lightly condemn Watanuki Tatsuzo from other angles to relieve his dissatisfaction with this guy's disregard for human life?
...Toru Amuro suddenly had a feeling that "I am not alone", as if he saw another younger self.
He started walking back to the hotel at the foot of the mountain and said casually, "Tatsuzo Watanuki probably thought that Hozumi had dug up a corpse, so he wanted to use these traces to find a nearby burial site. Unfortunately, he made a wrong calculation - the tree is hundreds of meters away from here, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk there. The handkerchief mark on it is also inconspicuous. If he wants to find the target by looking at the soil at the roots of the tree when the light is fading, he would have to look at thousands of trees."
Jiang Xia followed behind and nodded.
While ordering, he also grabbed the murderous aura emanating from the boss and kept it away.
Although Amuro Toru looked very stable and it seemed that the sudden death of someone in front of him was a very calm thing, it now seemed that no matter how calm his face was, his heart was inevitably fluctuating. Speaking of which, if he could team up with the boss when he was on some brutal missions... Unfortunately, Bourbon liked to be alone and rarely played with teammates.
Jiang Xia thought about it and sighed.
Just as he finished sighing, he saw Toru Amuro looking back at him. For some reason, there seemed to be a hint of...
appreciate?
"?" Jiang Xia was a little confused.
Fortunately, it was getting dark and the light was dim. Normally, most people couldn't see the specific expression in another person's eyes. Except for him who was cheating by using the vision of a ghost.
Jiang Xia then pretended that he saw nothing and kept walking with his head down.
The two people's thinking is completely on different channels, but they get along quite harmoniously in a strange way.
…
Not long after Tatsuzo Watanuki returned to the hotel, Jiang Xia and Toru Amuro also returned to the vicinity of the hotel.
But they didn't go in directly. Instead, they pretended to take a walk nearby and found some girls picking maple leaves not far away. Then they mixed in with them and returned to the hotel, making themselves look more like two ordinary tourists.
During this time, "Suzuki Sonoko" looked at them again and again, and the faint scent of apples continued to emanate from her body.
…
Before entering the lobby, Toru Amuro had already sent an email to inquire about the peripheral members of the organization guarding the hotel.
Then we learned that after returning, Tatsuzo Watanuki went straight to his room and did not go out again.
Judging from the bugs and pinhole cameras installed in Watanuki Tatsuzo's room, the old man had just finished digging and killing people, and was now taking a shower and planning to take a short nap after the shower. In the second half of the night, after the tourists and people camping near the scenic spot fell asleep, he would mobilize a large number of his followers to go to the mountains to find maple trees with loose roots and dispose of Hozumi's body.
“……”After reading the email, Toru Amuro fell into silence for a moment.
...It will take them a long time to find such a huge mountain.
The longer the time drags on, the more likely it is that unexpected situations will occur, and this mission will become difficult...especially with Jiang Xia's proneness to incidents and that mysterious elementary school student here.
Toru Amuro held the teacup, thinking, while listening to Kogoro Mori complaining to Jiang Xia next to him.
This uncle who wanted to "tour the holy land" but found that the holy land was full of scary red handkerchiefs was now pulling Jiang Xia and drinking dejectedly.
Of course, there was wine in Kogoro Maori's cup, and there was bubbly cola in Jiangxia's cup.
Maori Kogoro pushed his headscarf aside and slammed the table angrily: "This is too much! It should have been a perfect photo of me and Miss Yoko after editing, but now there are a bunch of handkerchiefs hanging on the tree. The scenery is not good at all. Humph! It's as if someone will really meet them under the tree if they tie handkerchiefs. What a heartless tourist!"
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement while pouring himself a Coke and clinking glasses with Maori Kogoro, being very attentive in his perfunctory response.
When Toru Amuro heard this, his heart moved.
He glanced at the people around him, holding a teacup, and joined the conversation, broadcasting information like a casual chat: "Yes. There are too many people following the trend. Maybe they think the tree at the filming location is not enough, so people have hung it on other places. On my way there, I saw other trees tied with red handkerchiefs. It was nearly ten minutes away from the top of the mountain, but they didn't escape. You can imagine what the trees at the filming location looked like. But the handkerchief I saw was of poor quality and had faded a little..."
Across the table, a young man with a middle-parted hair was sitting there, slowly drinking a cup of coffee.
He listened to the conversation here, caught the key words, and his ears moved.
After a moment, the man took out his phone and found Watanuki Tatsuzo's email address:
[Boss, I just heard a piece of news...]
…
No matter how much information Watanuki Tatsuzo got, the dark and windy night was the best time for murder.
So his time of action was set at midnight.
Since he did not take action, Toru Amuro and Jiang Xia, who wanted to sit back and wait for opportunities, naturally got nothing.
Jiang Xia was getting a little bored waiting for someone to be "caught on the spot".
He looked out the dark window and gradually remembered his younger brothers scattered across the mountain.
Then his eyes lit up slightly.
"..." The fact that Tatsuzo Watanuki dared to bring those younger brothers over to deal with the corpses showed that to some extent, those people were still loyal to Tatsuzo Watanuki.
In addition, there are some peripheral members of the organization on the mountain. Neither side is a law-abiding citizen.
According to experience, apart from vodka, other lawless lunatics will easily have the idea of killing people to silence them after being slightly stimulated, which also means that they will have murderous intent...
Since you're free anyway, why not go out and kill some wild animals?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia leaned back in his seat and pretended to be distracted.
In reality, it opens up the printed space, allowing the shikigami to fly out, pass through the walls, accumulate in the dark corners outside the house, and condense into entities.
Then, as usual, Jinpei Matsuda was thrown over.
This group of puppets of his either had strange wings and tails, or were children, or loved to wear skirts... After counting them one by one, Jinpei Matsuda became more and more adept at using them.
Moreover, the mark on this puppet is very hidden, hidden on the tongue, not as conspicuous as the mark under Miyano Akemi's eyes.
He can draw a clear line between himself and the elusive "Anonymous" and is suitable for use in places with a large number of members in such organizations.
Soon, a figure with fluffy natural curls and a black suit appeared outside the house and raised his hand to push up his sunglasses.
