Chapter 9: Run, I'll Cover You
Jiang Xia confirmed the video, put the camera aside, and sent a message to Kinoshita Yoko.
Yoko Kinoshita is a dedicated star who doesn't bring her cell phone when she's working. It'll probably take some time before we see her again.
So Jiang Xia waited for her while looking at Ikezawa Yuko who was lying next to her with boredom.
Normally, when he chopped someone with his knife, he knew what was going on and could even estimate how long the other person would be unconscious.
But the hit he made just now against Ikezawa Yuko was purely a conditioned reflex after he startled her, and Jiang Xia was not sure about the strength.
In other words, Yuko Ikezawa may wake up at any time.
...Although her fighting ability is very weak, it would be troublesome if she really started to make trouble.
Jiang Xia thought about it, picked up the scarf that Ikezawa Yuko dropped, and used it to tie the person up.
Afterwards, he found another napkin and covered Ikezawa Yuko's face.
Jiang Xia doesn't want Ikezawa Yuko to see his face, so he is wearing a mask now.
But I had to wear a mask all the time indoors, which was quite stuffy.
Since the person is already lying down, it might as well just cover Yuko Ikezawa with a piece of cloth to block her view.
Done and done.
Jiang Xia created a suitable environment for himself, sat back on the sofa, and waited for Kinoshita Yoko to come back.
…
More than an hour later.
Yoko Kinoshita finally got off work.
She took back the phone that the staff had helped keep, opened it and saw the text message from Jiang Xia, and was a little surprised.
To be honest, since Jiang Xia never contacted her again after they separated in the car that day, Yoko Kinoshita thought she was being stood up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia actually remembered this incident and caught the person very efficiently.
...He's really on the right track. His efficiency is higher than many detectives, and he's worthy of being a paparazzi.
Yoko Kinoshita couldn't help but feel moved.
…
She returned home quickly.
After entering the door and greeting Jiang Xia, Kinoshita Yoko remembered that Jiang Xia had been waiting for her for quite a while, so she planned to make Jiang Xia a cup of tea and some food first, and then slowly ask about the situation.
As she passed by the sofa, Yoko Kinoshita's eyes moved and she accidentally caught a glimpse of the humanoid creature on the sofa.
She was stunned for a moment, and her happy expression was shattered.
——On the sofa, lay the “captured stalker”.
Unlike the "scary pervert" that Yoko Kinoshita had imagined, the stalker's dress and figure seemed to be a fashionably dressed woman.
However, at this time, the woman's clothes were full of wrinkles, and she looked like she had been beaten mercilessly, and she was lying motionless.
Especially the face, which was covered with a piece of white cloth.
“…”
Yoko Kinoshita's heart, which had just been put at ease, was instantly suspended in mid-air again.
Look at this, this stalker...
Probably dead.
It's a good thing that young people are dedicated to their work, but how, how could they kill someone...
…………
Jiang Xia saw Kinoshita Yoko coming back, walked to the coffee table, picked up the camera, and was about to hand it to her for her to check.
But when he turned around, he saw Kinoshita Yoko looking at him with extremely sad eyes, holding her chest and saying: "Go away, I won't tell them that I have seen you."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
What do you mean, throw it away after use?
Yoko Kinoshita didn't notice the change in Jiang Xia's eyes.
She quickly took out her wallet, pulled out all the cash, and poured the coins into her palm.
She pinched the thickness and felt it was too little, so she took out her checkbook and pen.
Kinoshita Yoko bit off the pen cap and was about to write some "escape funds" to Jiang Xia, but suddenly stopped thinking about something and muttered:
"No, the age of majority is 20 now, you are not yet an adult. And what happened today was actually a stalker breaking into the house first. Also, I hired you, so you took... somewhat extreme measures against her. Instead of running away, why not..."
Yoko Kinoshita frowned, trying to think of the best way out, and deeply regretted that she had not learned law back then.
"Wait." Jiang Xia vaguely understood, and after a moment of silence, he pointed at Ikezawa Yuko on the sofa, "She's not dead yet."
Kinoshita Yoko: "?!"
She was stunned for a moment, walked to the sofa doubtfully, and carefully touched the neck of the "corpse".
...hot.
There is a pulse beating.
...really still alive!
Yoko Kinoshita breathed a sigh of relief and fell weakly into the sofa, shaking the "corpse".
After realizing that she had not pushed the minor into the sin of murder, Yoko Kinoshita no longer felt guilty and had the energy to pay attention to more details.
For example, if she looked closely, she saw the stalker's clothes. She had seen them before today.
...It seems to be that colleague with a bad temper.
Jiang Xia sat down next to her and introduced her: "This person is Ikezawa Yuko, you should know her." Then he handed over the camera, "Take a look at this. It captured something very useful."
Yoko Kinoshita took it and examined it carefully.
At first, the scene was a bit scary. Kinoshita Yoko felt her scalp tingling as she watched Ikezawa Yuko in the camera with a strange expression and scattering blood letters.
However, by the end, her eyes had become somewhat sympathetic.
——It’s so tragic. Yuko Ikezawa is so miserable.
...but I must say, well done.
…
After reading it carefully, Kinoshita Yoko put down the camera, filled out a check for twice the market price of the commission, and gave it to Jiang Xia: "Thank you, it's a great help."
Jiang Xia did not refuse, but to be honest, what he wanted was actually other rewards.
Jiang Xia glanced at Yoko Kinoshita's wrist.
The ghost baby clinging there felt a chill on his back and shuddered silently. He moved a little closer to Kinoshita Yoko and hugged her arms tightly.
Jiang Xia sighed inwardly, temporarily retracted his longing gaze, took out the videotape and handed it to Kinoshita Yoko.
If this thing is sold to Yuko Ikezawa's company or rival, the income can be several times higher.
But this matter was quite troublesome, and Jiang Xia didn't want to get involved any further. Moreover, he was not short of money - the organization would occasionally bring in income, and Jiang Xia Tongzhi's parents also left a considerable inheritance.
Across the sofa, Yoko Kinoshita looked at the videotape handed to her by Jiang Xia, slapped her head, and suddenly realized that although she had tried hard to raise the price, she still gave too little - similar matters have always been handled by agents, and she rarely has to deal with them.
Thinking about the possible value of this tip, Kinoshita Yoko picked up the checkbook again and seriously asked the fake paparazzi in front of her: "I can't take it for free. How much do you usually sell this kind of information for?"
"You have already paid the commission, how can it be considered free?" Jiang Xia didn't care much about the money, he just wanted to get the ghost, "Don't worry, this is the information I got in the process of handling your commission, it is part of the commission, I will not sell it to a second company. How to use it is up to you."
Yoko Kinoshita was moved again.
——She was not wrong about him, this is indeed a good child who has great potential for salvation!
However, additional money must still be paid.
Jiang Xia refused to say, so Yoko Kinoshita decided to ask her agent.
By the way, ask your agent to come over and help deal with the stalker.
When Yoko Kinoshita was talking on the phone in a low voice.
Next to him, Jiang Xia took out a tablet-sized homemade screen from his bag, which was connected to several surveillance images.
He clicked on one of them, enlarged it and looked at it, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
…………
After Yoko Kinoshita finished calling her agent, she suddenly remembered that it was dinner time.
Thinking about how long Jiang Xia had been waiting nearby for the stalker, Kinoshita Yoko stood up hastily: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go make you something to eat."
Jiang Xia looked towards the door and said, "Don't worry about eating yet. There is one more."
"Still..." Yoko Kinoshita was still smiling.
After a second, she suddenly realized that "there is another one" refers to the stalker. Her face turned pale: "There is another one?!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes, yes..."
He was just about to say "It's a very fat man" so that Yoko Kinoshita would guess that it was her ex-boyfriend and prepare herself mentally in advance.
But at this moment, Jiang Xia's peripheral vision moved and he found that Ikezawa Yuko's head was slightly tilted towards him.
...It's like when you hear a topic of interest, you subconsciously "listen attentively".
Jiang Xia silently stared at Ikezawa Yuko and the cloth covering her face: "..."
His mental quality is really amazing. Even in this situation, he still has the energy to pretend to be asleep and listen to gossip.
He stopped talking, stood up and walked towards Yuko Ikezawa.
Yuko Ikezawa was originally pricking up her ears, trying to eavesdrop.
At this moment, hearing Jiang Xia suddenly stop talking, she panicked and suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and tried to shrink into the sofa.
However, this level of escape obviously has no effect.
Jiang Xia stabbed Ikezawa Yuko in the neck with one hand, causing her to feel a pain. She fell into a coma again.
Jiang Xia withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
This time, he acted in a very rational state and was able to estimate how long Ikezawa Yuko would sleep.
Finally, I don't have to be on guard against her waking up all the time.
…
Yoko Kinoshita watched the whole process in a daze.
At first, she was so frightened by the existence of the "second stalker" that her face turned pale.
But at this moment, seeing Jiang Xia's quick movements, he suddenly felt that a stalker was just like that.
...It's a weird dish.
Yoko Kinoshita calmed down and looked at Jiang Xia, wanting to hear him continue the previous topic.
However, Jiang Xia did not speak again.
He made a "shut up" gesture to Yoko Kinoshita and walked silently towards the entrance.
When he got to the door, Jiang Xia stuck to the door and listened. Suddenly, he calculated the time and opened the door.
On the other side of the door, there was a fat man leaning on the door and eavesdropping.
Jiang Xia suddenly opened the door, and the man lost his support and stumbled forward heavily.
Before he could come to his senses, Jiang Xia grabbed him by the collar and threw him over his shoulder into the entrance hall.
After Jiang Xia finished his work, he turned around, closed the door, and locked it with a click. He nodded with satisfaction.
——Stalker No. 2, captured successfully.
…
Stalker No. 2 was obviously stunned by the fall. He lay on the ground with his teeth bared, staring at the ceiling light in the entrance of Kinoshita Yoko's house, unable to sit up for a long time.
Jiang Xia locked the door, turned around, and kicked him with his toes to urge him, but found that stalker No. 2 had no intention of getting up.
So Jiang Xia had to bend down and grab his collar, and dragged him all the way to the living room with some effort. He placed him in front of Kinoshita Yoko - mainly the ghost baby.
As expected, the ghost baby started to cry and seemed to be swearing - probably because it was very unhappy after seeing its father being thrown and dragged.
After barking, it continued to hold Yoko Kinoshita's arm tightly, looking at her eagerly, hoping that its mother would condemn the wild paparazzi in front of it and let it experience the deep love between its parents.
However, things are completely different from what it thought.
Yoko Kinoshita looked at the man at her feet, with only fear, disgust, sadness, and an indescribable hatred in her eyes.
Stalker number two looked at her with eyes that begged for reconciliation, cried out "Yoko" in a plaintive voice, and held out his hand to her.
Yoko Kinoshita shuddered and subconsciously hid behind Jiang Xia.
Then she nervously took out her phone and called her agent again to ask when she could arrive.
The agent had already rushed downstairs and brought a few bodyguards with him.
She received the call and went upstairs anxiously.
After entering the living room, the agent looked at Jiang Xia, then at the two stalkers who looked so miserable no matter how they looked at them, hesitated for a moment, and asked the bodyguard to stay outside the door.
The fewer people who know about what happened today, the better.
...Since Jiang Xia is already involved, it would be better to let him be present and replace the bodyguard.
After all, the ex-boyfriend on the ground was at least a heavyweight of 200 to 300 kilograms, heavier than her and Yoko combined.
If this bastard really wanted to take them down with him, he could kill them both with his weight.
If Jiang Xia hadn't been there to keep the peace, the agent really wouldn't have dared to bring Kinoshita Yoko to face him alone.
…
Three people in one play.
Jiang Xia took two steps back, away from the battlefield, and sat on the sofa, watching silently.
Through the false "foreknowledge", he learned a lot about the previous situation and was well-accepted with the direction of the current situation.
But the ghost baby is not so good.
Under the gaze of the ghost baby with trembling pupils, a long-standing entanglement was brought to the surface.
