Chapter 94 Are you throwing the blame again?
After Amuro Toru made that guess, he looked at Anonymous and said in a low voice, "Where is Jiang Xia?"
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask again: "Did you puncture my tire? Have you been following us?"
"..." The anonymous person's hand, which was adjusting the hem of her skirt, paused suspiciously.
Toru Amuro was stunned, his eyes became sharp, and he began to think about which question he asked, and he hit the nail on the head.
However, Anonymous only picked the last question to answer: "I didn't follow you on purpose."
Toru Amuro didn't believe it.
In just a few days, he had already met Anonymous twice. One time, Anonymous even came to him on his own initiative: "You don't mean to say that these are all coincidences."
"It's not a coincidence, but it's not intentional either." Anonymous took a step back and smiled meaningfully, "I'm here just because... we are everywhere."
...After all, as everyone knows, Anonymous has countless avatars. Anyone can be "Anonymous", and "Anonymous" can be anyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Toru Amuro could understand the mysterious words.
Anonymous suddenly turned around, stepped out of the eaves, and instantly fell into the thick darkness below.
Toru Amuro: "...?"
He didn't expect that someone would suddenly jump off the building while talking to him. He subconsciously took a step towards the window, trying to hold the person back, but failed.
Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, then turned around and planned to run back to the tower to check the situation.
However, as soon as he turned around, he met Suzuki Sonoko's shocked gaze.
Suzuki Sonoko said in horror: "You...you pushed him down?!"
"..." Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, bearing the new pot, and suddenly thought that he might have wronged Anonymous just now.
He sighed: "I wanted to hold her back..."
…
Jiang Xia dispersed the puppet in mid-air and his consciousness returned to his body.
The main body is still in the secret passage of the castle.
Jiang Xiadi waited quietly for a while.
Not long after, Miyano Akemi was seen leading a group of shikigami, lining up and floating back through the wall.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up slightly, and he rubbed Miyano Akemi's head to show encouragement. Then he picked up the souls one by one, stacked them up, and signed the contract.
After that, he looked around and began to wander around, preparing to "encounter" the person who came to look for him.
——This castle has a complex structure, with crisscrossing secret passages and hidden doors. You will get lost if you are not careful.
In addition, with the deliberate obstruction of the "anonymous person with a strange stance", it was normal for Jiang Xia to wander around in there for an hour or so.
…
After Anonymous suddenly jumped off the tower, the four people on the top of the tower quickly chased him down, but they were not too panicked - with the news that Anonymous jumped off the Shinkansen holding a bomb, they always felt that Anonymous would not die from a mere jump from the tower.
As it turned out, what they thought was right.
There was no anonymous body at the bottom of the tower.
There was only the body of an "old lady".
Although human life was at stake, the four were unable to determine the position of the other people in the castle, so they did not rashly look for servants to collect the bodies. Instead, they first slipped into the secret passage of the castle and concentrated on looking for people.
They successfully found Jiangxia.
…
After Jiang Xia reunited with his teammates, he gave a brief explanation and then told them: There was a skeleton in the secret passage. The skeleton's leg bones were thin and it seemed to be an elderly woman.
The attention of the other four people was quickly drawn to the corpse, especially the two detectives.
——They immediately thought of the “old lady” who fell to her death at the foot of the tower, and gradually figured out the cause and effect.
…
The next day, the telephone line was repaired.
The police arrived quickly, and the car that Toru Amuro called also arrived.
When Toru Amuro opened the trunk and checked the tires inside, Jiang Xia also leaned over to take a look. This time, the tires were actually placed in a locked metal box.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He was shocked for a moment, but soon relaxed.
——If he really encountered a case again later, he would not need to bite the spare tire. He could just hide under the car and damage another tire when no one was paying attention. It was impossible for Toru Amuro to take four spare tires with him on the road.
Unfortunately, however, the journey back was very peaceful and no further incidents occurred.
When they saw the familiar streets of Beika Town, the five people in the car breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Four of them were thankful to have finally reached their destination.
The other one had a subtle hint of regret.
…
Organizations also have specific regulations when they run their affairs.
For example, you need to write a report after completing a task.
This was originally Toru Amuro's job, but Toru Amuro threw this task to his nominal apprentice.
…
After Jiang Xia returned to Tokyo, he first went to Dr. Agasa's house and took back the cats and dogs that were left there.
——He has not been at home these days, but the bad guys have not stopped looking for cats and dogs. The pets they picked up need someone to take care of them.
So Jiang Xia activated his tool grandfather - his neighbor Dr. Agasa.
In the past, he was often bombed when he helped Dr. Agasa test those new inventions, so Jiang Xia felt particularly justified when he troubled his neighbors.
…
Jiang Xia brought the pet to the office and while waiting for business in the store, he wrote a task report according to the sample given by Amuro.
By evening, he had successfully completed the task.
I am trying to send the report to a specific email address.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.
——Listening to the ringtone, it’s the black one, which is the special phone for contacting the organization.
"......?" Jiang Xia was startled and picked up the phone.
Gin's voice came from the receiver: "Where are you now?"
Jiang Xia pondered over this sentence and felt that something was unusual.
——When Gin issues tasks, he is usually straightforward, which saves time. He will never ask the other party if it is inconvenient by asking them in a caring way, such as "Where are you?" or "Are you free?"
So... the "where are you" here is probably similar to the police investigation of an alibi?
Jiang Xia: “…”
Speaking of which, I always feel that Gin's tone is murderous.
It's a pity that I'm not next to him now, otherwise I would have been able to get a lot...
Jiang Xia listened to the voice in the headset with regret, and pinched the ghost on his leg with pity: "In the office."
As he spoke, he glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window.
Just now, Jiang Xia had just moved the cats and dogs in when it started raining.
This weather, plus this time...
He suddenly thought: Could it be that Shirley defected?
Sure enough, Gin mentioned this code name in his next sentence.
But before he could finish, someone knocked on the back of the sofa where Jiang Xia was leaning.
Jiang Xia turned around and saw that Toru Amuro had returned at some point and was standing behind him, reaching out his hand to him.
It looks like he is asking for a cell phone.
