Chapter 685 Friendly Forces? What Friendly Forces?
Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at Amuro Toru.
Finding that the boss had no intention of digging the dirt, he had to act like a good employee. He squatted down and looked for the pile of bones - he had to dig it out and show it to Watanuki Tatsuzo, so that the old man would be more willing to take the bait.
At first glance, the leaves on the ground looked fine, but when you get closer and turn them over, you can see that the dirt and dust on them are not evenly distributed, as if someone had dug them up before and then covered them back up again - this should be because Amuro Toru had dug them out once in the afternoon when he was working alone.
Jiang Xia pretended he saw nothing and dug the hole just like he did the first time, pushing aside the leaves and lifting the soil.
When he saw the skeleton below, he reported with a hint of surprise: "There is a skeleton buried here. The clavicle looks a bit strange... What is this? A steel nail?"
Amuro Toru nodded and said in a slightly lowered voice, but still loud enough for those around him to hear, "It should have been injected when the bone was broken, and he died before it could be removed. This makes it very convenient to confirm his identity."
A flash of knife light suddenly approached, and someone jumped out from behind the bushes, drew his knife and slashed diagonally. The predetermined cutting route included Jiang Xia, who was squatting next to the corpse, and Amuro Toru, who was standing next to Jiang Xia and supervising him like a boss.
——The attacker was the assistant that Watanuki Tatsuzo valued the most. The assistant's duty was originally to monitor the hotel lobby, but Watanuki Tatsuzo left in a hurry just now and could not contact other subordinates for a while, so he transferred the assistant over. The gunshots were too loud, so when a group of people decided to go up the mountain to search for the maple tree, in order to prevent too much noise, they all brought cold weapons.
The assistant's weapon was an antique machete, which he hid in his camera bag when he came.
The sharp blade first approached the standing Amuro Toru. After chopping him down and then chopping down Jiang Xia next to him, they could start digging the corpse pit.
However, the assistant did not even achieve half of his goal. As if he had eyes on his back, Toru Amuro suddenly dodged to the side and grabbed the assistant's knife-holding hand, as if it was caught by a twisting metal clamp. Although Toru Amuro looked very far away from being a "muscle knot", in this world, muscles and strength seemed to have nothing to do with each other. The assistant was facing a hand that could smash explosion-proof glass with its bare hands without any injury. Its hardness was comparable to that of a safety hammer, or even stronger.
The assistant felt a piercing pain in his wrist and his vision went dark.
When he came to his senses again, the knife had slipped out of his hand and his knee was hit hard. With a scream, he fell flat on the ground like an acrobat who failed a somersault.
Before he fell, Jiang Xia moved to the side and raised his hand to wave away the dead leaves that were hit by his heavy body.
Then he looked at the person who fell next to him, who looked like he was in a good position to hit. He couldn't help but step on him and hold the baton.
The assistant let out a cry, tilted his head and fainted, and didn't move again.
It is very difficult for an unconscious person to show murderous intent. Jiang Xia was startled, then silently retracted his foot, pushed the half-pulled baton back into his pocket, and pretended that he had no intention of doing anything just now, and was just helping to subdue the villain.
The assistant's long and narrow scimitar was now in Toru Amuro's hands.
He glanced down and his first reaction was that this was a controlled knife... But that was not what Bo was supposed to think about. Amuro Toru spun the knife twice and suddenly threw it out like a flying knife. It flashed with a silver light and then, with a thud, it was nailed into the tree seven or eight meters away, sinking very deep.
“…”
After a moment of silence, a figure slowly emerged from behind the tree.
It was Tatsuzo Watanuki, who wore glasses, had a protruding belly, and looked like a kind old grandfather.
According to Tatsuzo Watanuki's own script, at this moment, he should have gracefully walked out from behind the tree, like a mastermind who was sure of victory, smiled coldly at the bodies of the two detectives, then asked his assistant to bury them on the spot, and then severely reprimanded those younger brothers who had wandered off to who knows where.
However, the actual situation was very different from what he imagined, and the sneak attack was not successful. Everything happened too quickly: when the assistant bravely swung the knife, Watanuki Tatsuzo took a step out from behind the tree. When the assistant fell to the ground, Watanuki Tatsuzo was startled for a moment, and then silently shrank back... However, this act of compensation was a little too late - his confident steps just now stepped on the dead leaves, making a sound. If he hid now and was dragged out by the two detectives manually, it would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, Watanuki Tatsuzo had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out naturally.
It's not all about face. But from the current situation, he has to be calm. Only in this way can he make the other party think that everything is not over yet, and he can delay time better... Speaking of which, what happened to his brothers? This area should be a search point! Normally, there should be ten to twenty people guarding it, and other search points are not far away, but why is there no response until now? Are they too focused on searching and didn't notice the summoning signal?
...We have to find our brothers here quickly.
Thinking of this, Watanuki Tatsuzo threw his head back and laughed a few times, the sound of which could be heard far away in the night.
Then he took a deep breath, turned to the detectives, and said leisurely: "You don't seem surprised to see me." His voice was also deep and clear.
Jiang Xia didn't answer him, but his eyes moved slightly and scanned the surroundings.
As far as I can remember, Toru Amuro once sent an email asking those peripheral members in Gunma Prefecture to install recording equipment and cameras nearby in order to obtain the intelligence needed for the mission.
...But right now, the only thing that should be working is the recording equipment.
Because just now, when he was driving the Songtian brand puppet all over the mountain, he couldn't stop himself and accidentally knocked down the peripheral members of the organization - the peripheral members of the organization and the little brothers who participated in the meeting, the temperament of these two groups of people is actually not much different. The feeling they give people is very similar, and the murderous aura is of course also very similar, both of which are the basic ones with no taste.
After Jiang Xia knocked the man down, he found a mobile phone at his feet. He looked down and saw an email from Amuro Toru with a new address. Only then did he realize that he had accidentally hit a friendly force.
So after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia silently took some time to help them install the recording equipment - Toru Amuro didn't know that Usa was here, but someone up there must know.
If an outside member accidentally hits someone, the organization won't care. But if it ruins the mission and causes trouble for the organization for no reason, and if you are discovered, it will be a bit embarrassing to get on the assassination list later, so it's better to finish it off while you're at it.
The organization's equipment is a bit complicated. However, Jiang Xia was bored in the past, and occasionally received training from Dr. Agasa, so he was no stranger to the mess of machinery. At worst, he could burn more murderous aura and let Matsuda Jinpei operate the puppet - this reliable policeman who worked in the explosive ordnance disposal team of the mobile group before his death, of course, can do more than just bomb disposal.
