Chapter 793 Speak with Shark Spirit
Jiang Xia finished his tea leisurely, put down the cup, and prepared to walk around the bank in question, just to make it look like he was there.
However, just as I walked out of the office door, my cell phone suddenly rang.
——There’s a phone call coming in.
He took out his cell phone, checked the caller ID, and saw that the person calling was Officer Sato.
When I pressed the answer button, the first thing that came into my ears was the slightly noisy background sound - it sounded like someone was crying and mumbling, but I couldn't hear it clearly.
Soon, Miwako Sato seemed to realize that the call was connected. She strode to the side, lowered her voice, and said directly: "Where are you now? Someone accused you of kidnapping."
Jiang Xia: "...kidnapping? Me?"
He looked at the phone he was on, confused.
Although it is undeniable that he did have similar thoughts...
But no one has been tied up yet.
Moreover, the targets he planned to take away seemed to be the type who would not call the police if anything happened.
"Maybe there is some misunderstanding. The parties involved are quite emotional. To be honest, we haven't understood what they want to say specifically." Sato Miwako sighed. She still trusted Jiang Xia in this aspect. This young detective was often too involved when beating the criminals... but he was quite law-abiding in other aspects. He would never do something like kidnapping:
"Anyway, you should come here as soon as possible. There are reporters waiting outside the Metropolitan Police Department all year round. If you don't explain it clearly before the reporter leaves, there may be groundless reports the next day."
"Okay." Jiang Xia responded, "I'm at the detective agency now, not far from the Metropolitan Police Department. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, he headed towards the Metropolitan Police Department while looking at the ghost. To be on the safe side, he confirmed, "I haven't sleepwalked before, have I?" After a pause, he asked, "You didn't sneak out in the middle of the night to do something weird, did you?"
The ghosts looked back at him innocently, muttering and trying to reason with him: if they floated far away, they would consume a lot of murderous energy, and if they wanted to gather into puppets, they would need Jiang Xia's permission, and most of their targets were elusive and difficult to find. Even Vermouth often left Dr. Xinchu's clinic and did not spend the night there... If they really did something, the psychic master would have discovered it long ago.
really……
"Maybe someone made a mistake, or someone is impersonating me... Anyway, let's go and take a look." Jiang Xia sighed.
I've been staying with Okiya Subaru for too long these days, and my life has become stagnant. It's like going back to the terrifying time before Kudo Shinichi became Conan.
Now an emergency has suddenly occurred. Although the specific situation is still unclear, it should be a good thing for him no matter how you think about it.
…
Jiang Xia arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department and entered his usual office with familiarity.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw an elderly couple with gray hair sitting opposite Sato Miwako, banging the table and shouting something.
Officer Sato was obviously not very good at dealing with these situations, and his head was dizzy from all the noise.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming in, her eyes lit up and she waved towards the door: "Jiang Xia, this way!"
Seeing this, the couple also turned around and looked over: "You are Jiang Xia?!"
Jiang Xia looked at them for a moment, but didn't see any murderous intent. He looked at their calves again, but there was nothing on them that he could grab, and he was a little disappointed.
He said nothing, just nodded politely but distantly.
Who knew that the next moment, two people rushed over, grabbed him, and even emitted a hint of murderous intent: "Give me back my daughter!"
Jiang Xia: “……?”
He was stunned for a moment, then his attitude became a little friendlier. He patted the man in the old couple, comforted him, and suppressed his murderous aura. He observed the quality of the man and said gently, "Don't be impatient. Talk slowly... Um, what did I do to your daughter?"
Beside her, Sato Miwako had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon seeing this scene, she became angry again.
She almost forgot that she was not good at dealing with these things, and Jiang Xia was definitely even worse - in the eyes of the two parties, Jiang Xia was now the kidnapper they had identified, and the "kidnapper" suddenly greeting the kidnapped person seemed to be easily understood as a kind of contempt and threat...
Seeing that the couple had no intention of letting go, Sato Miwako had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to smooth things over:
"There must be some misunderstanding. And as soon as we contacted Jiang Xia, he came here immediately. A kidnapper wouldn't cooperate that way... Anyway, calm down and explain things clearly first."
As she spoke, she hooked her calves and kicked the door secretly, seemingly accidentally kicking the office door shut.
...Paparazzi are always very concerned about murders, and they are even more enthusiastic about things related to famous detectives. The more powerful ones can even sneak into the corridor in front of the office...In order to prevent news like "Famous detective suspected of committing a crime!" from appearing on the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers, it is necessary to take some precautions.
The other police officers nearby didn't just stand there and watch, they stepped forward to separate the couple and Jiang Xia.
Although Jiang Xia has recently developed a habit of delaying the taking of statements, in other aspects he is still a considerate detective who is good at solving cases quickly and saves them a lot of overtime time. The police are very friendly to him.
The couple was so excited when they suddenly saw the "kidnapper" that they took out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped their tears: "Oh my Eri..."
Officer Gao Mu quickly took them back to the sofa and sat them down, refilled their tea, and comforted them:
"The most important thing now is to find the missing Miss Eri. Please calm down and explain the whole story in detail so that we can catch the criminal as soon as possible."
After saying this, he noticed that the couple's gaze had been drifting towards Jiang Xia. Gao Mushi remembered that they didn't seem to pay much attention to the news and had never seen Jiang Xia, so he added:
"Jiang Xia is a detective. Although I don't know why you are so sure that he kidnapped your daughter. But there may be some misunderstanding... Um, so why do you think he is a kidnapper?"
As Takagi Wataru asked, he couldn't help but make a guess:
Could it be that this couple happened to see Jiang Xia performing a heroic act against some people at the scene where their daughter was kidnapped?
"..." Jiang Xia's look when he was beating people was indeed a bit scary. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would indeed think Jiang Xia was some terrible villain... Alas, but in fact, Jiang Xia was really just a righteous detective. It was precisely because of this that he could not stop himself when beating the murderer.
Gradually, the "criminal" who might be identified appeared in front of him. In addition, the title of "detective" was a little more convincing, and Jiang Xia did not look like a gangster...
The couple gradually calmed down.
