Chapter 985: Gift from Gin
Komazuka Hiroshi withdrew his hand from the bottle and replied, "Okay, I understand."
At the door, a group of footsteps left quickly.
…
The lovely female staff left as soon as she left.
Komazuka Hiroshi turned to look at Yabuki Atsushi and snorted:
"Take your wine and get out of here as far as you can! I've given up drinking a long time ago.
"If you have time to please me, you might as well spend more time reading the script - when the show starts, don't embarrass me like you did during the rehearsal!"
"..." Yabuki Atsushi never expected that his well-planned plan would fail at the very end and he would be ridiculed again.
He gritted his teeth, tried hard to control the murderous intent in his heart, bowed, turned around and left with the wine.
…
Before the murderous group left the house, Jiang Xia walked lightly and headed for a fork in the road.
Yuanshan and Ye were waiting there.
She saw Jiang Xia approaching, quickly pulled him in, and asked anxiously in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Komazuka Hiroshi didn't drink it. Yabuki Atsushi took the poisoned wine away again."
"That's great!" Yuanshan Heye felt that he had done another good thing.
But at this moment, she looked at Jiang Xia's expression and slowly realized that something was wrong. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"He took the wine away." Jiang Xia repeated what he had just said and sighed, "If he plans to destroy it, it's fine. But if he wants to reuse it..."
…
As he was speaking, the door of the lounge opened and Yabuki Atsushi walked out.
Jiang Xia stopped talking.
Toyama Kazuha pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the direction where Yabuki Atsushi left.
Then he was surprised to find that the footsteps did not go towards Yabuki Atsushi's lounge, but instead went all the way to the prop room.
"..."Props room...
Yuanshan Heye suddenly understood what Jiang Xia meant just now, and couldn't help but whispered: "In the prop room, there is a wine jug for masked drama! He wants to pour poisoned wine into that wine jug?!"
——The last scene of the play "The Triumph of Folly" is when the king sees the death of his two confidants, happily pours himself a glass of wine, drinks it leisurely as a mastermind, and then falls to the ground poisoned.
Plus the real sword and the lift that Robert had been operating for quite a while...
…
Yuanshan Heye thought of the murderous intentions everywhere in this theater, and she felt numb. She covered her face silently and said, "Are you detectives always so hard-working?"
"You'll get used to it." Jiang Xia didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, he comforted her, "Preventing someone with murderous intentions from succeeding is actually a very fulfilling thing."
Yuanshan Heye looked at him and felt a little moved.
She took a deep breath and tried to cheer herself up: "What should we do next?"
...Although it is a bit troublesome to stop this murder, it is not difficult.
The difficult part is what to do next.
——Even if we stop it this time, there might be a next time, and the next time…
Jiang Xia thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "In that case, let them perform their respective murderous scripts as scheduled."
Yuanshan Heye was shocked: "!"
"The script is just a script, it won't come true." Jiang Xia patted her on the shoulder and pulled the person who had retreated in shock back. "But their murderous intentions are real. Once those thoughts that cannot be hidden are manifested on the stage, everything can be handed over to the police for handling."
Yuanshan and Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia: As expected of a detective, Jiang Xia was really skilled in using police skills.
…
Except for Hiroshi Komazuka, everyone else was busy.
Yabuki Atsushi replaced the prop red wine with real poison wine and left happily.
Robert went around to the elevator.
Before learning about the "real and fake sword", he actually thought of other tricks to kill Yabuki Atsushi - the "minister" played by Yabuki Atsushi will fall headfirst from the balcony onto the lift platform after killing the prince.
The lifting platform here is made of metal. Robert therefore loosened the wires. When the performance started, the minister would fall on it and be electrocuted to death immediately.
But at this time, the "minister" was replaced by himself...
Of course Robert couldn't just sit there and watch the "electrical leakage" happen.
He was going to turn the wires back.
…
However, when he got to the lift platform, he took a quick look and saw two more staff members taking a break on the bench next to the lift platform. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and had no intention of leaving for the time being. Robert couldn't adjust the wires in front of them.
He tutted inwardly.
Seeing that the play was about to begin, he had to temporarily put aside the matter of the lift and turn towards the stage to avoid arriving too late and arousing suspicion.
As for the elevator that can electrocute people...
Robert sighed: When the time comes, just don't fall onto the lift - just fall secretly on the ground, along the place where the stage light can't reach, and roll to the backstage, it won't be a big problem.
…
Time flies.
Ten minutes later.
The three leading actors who shone brightly in Jiang Xia's eyes gathered beside the stage with three golden murderous auras on their faces.
The "King" Komazuka Hiroshi stared at the "Prince" and sneered in his heart: The time for revenge has come! Go to hell, Robert, for letting you play with someone else's daughter!
However, the "prince" under the mask was actually Yabuki Atsushi at this time.
Yabuki Atsushi also looked at the king and laughed wildly in his heart: The death drama is about to begin, arrogant old man, go to hell!
Next to them, "Minister" Robert lowered his head and glanced at the long sword at his waist. Then his gloomy eyes fell on the "Prince", and he said in his heart: The masked play that summons death has finally begun - goodbye, irritable creditor.
…
A few dozen meters away.
On a high platform diagonally above the stage.
Two pairs of eyes in the shadows gazed dimly at the three leading actors.
It was the busy Jiangxia and the distant mountains and leaves.
The moment the three actors faced each other, Jiang Xia seemed to hear a "boom" sound effect, and the already intense murderous aura expanded even more.
Jiang Xia: “…” The murderous aura in Shizuoka Prefecture is large in quantity, good in quality, and easy to harvest... When I leave later, I have to remind Inspector Yokomizo that if he encounters such a thing, don’t be polite and just come to him.
While thinking, Jiang Xia reached into his pocket and took out a dark fountain pen.
This pen has no logo or nameplate.
——It is said that it was produced by the organization’s equipment department, and it was not mass-produced. It was just made by a researcher for fun, and was later snatched away by Gin who passed by.
This was the "weapon" that Gin gave him when Jiang Xia brought the "Matsuda Jinpei Puppet" to find Gin last time.
Although it looks like a slightly rounded fountain pen, in fact, the tip of the pen has a certain cavity, which can be used to inject toxins or anesthetics, take samples, and attack. It can barely be regarded as a "multi-purpose gun" with reduced power.
