Chapter 2572 2584 [Voltage's Escape]
Officer Gao Mu did not notice the strange look next to him. He whispered to Jiang Xia, "I was thinking just now that maybe the murderer is actually one of Qiu and Dong, and that unlucky Mr. Komoto is just a cover... But I just contacted the Exit and Entry Administration, and the information there shows that a Mr. Komoto Takashi really returned to China a week ago!"
"We found out the hotel he was staying in, but when we arrived, he had already checked out." Officer Gao Mu sighed, "Fortunately, there were a lot of items he left there. After checking, we successfully found fingerprints left on them."
Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and asked calmly, imitating the elderly police officers in TV dramas, "What are the results of the comparison?"
"The fingerprints are consistent with those left at the death scenes of Mr. Haruyama and Mr. Natsukawa. He must be the murderer." Officer Takagi flipped through another photo. "In addition, we also retrieved the hotel's surveillance footage - this is the footage left by Mr. Komoto when he registered."
Jiang Xia looked down and saw a white-haired old man in the photo, concentrating on filling out something on the registration form.
"So old?" Amuro Toru was a little surprised. He looked at the photo and then at Fuyuki Ryuzaburo who was not far away. "Isn't he your classmate? But he looks like he is 20 or 30 years older than you."
"He is indeed our age." Ms. Akiba and Mr. Fuyuki looked at each other and walked over to look at the photo.
Seeing the "old man" above, the two had mixed feelings: "He already looked old, but I didn't expect that he would become like this after his hair turned white..."
Officer Takagi sighed, "I heard from the waiter at that hotel that Komoto mentioned during a casual chat that he had an incurable disease and that he didn't have much time left to live."
"I see." Inspector Megure was no longer sleepy when talking about the motive. He stroked his chin and speculated with experience, "After learning the unfortunate news, Komoto must have looked back on his life. He became more and more angry about the turning point in his life when he was young, so he finally decided to give up everything and return to his country for revenge."
"Revenge?" Ms. Akiba and Mr. Fuyuki turned pale. "It's been ten years. Is it really necessary to do this... Can't we sit down and discuss how to make up for it?"
Compared to the two shivering people, the police were in a relatively cheerful mood.
"I didn't expect that the real murderer would be found so smoothly this time." Inspector Megure looked at Jiang Xia, then at Amuro Toru, with a look of regret on his face: It was so rare to have two detective brothers here, but they were not used... This is really hard to get used to.
But no matter what, things have come to this point, and it is obvious what to do next.
Inspector Megure looked at his subordinates and assigned them tasks: "Protect the two people targeted by the murderer - and also, find Mr. Komoto as soon as possible."
…
Even after walking out of the police station, Toru Amuro was still a little dazed.
Amuro Toru: “…” Is it over like this?
As early as the moment he saw Jiang Xia, he had been prepared for a whole day of bloody storms, encountering cases all the time, and being treated as a major suspect by the police at any time, but now...
Although he did encounter a case, the situation seemed completely different from what he expected - this case had nothing to do with him at all, except for acting as "the tool responsible for finding Jiang Xia" in the beginning. After that, he was just a background board, able to leave when he wanted to and stay when he wanted to. Neither the police nor the suspects were too lazy to even look at him.
"What's going on?" Amuro Toru was not able to relax, but became more alert. "Not only did Jiang Xia's event constitution not take effect, but Uzo also did not move at all. Could it be that the spring, summer, autumn and winter in this case are really just a simple coincidence?"
"Or is Uzo doing the opposite? He wants to tell me in this way that whether I will be involved in the case depends on his decision?"
"Boss." Suddenly, a voice came, interrupting his increasingly confused thoughts.
Toru Amuro came back to his senses in a daze and looked at Jiang Xia.
Looking at this familiar face, he instinctively wanted to make an excuse, "I have something else to do today, you go eat first," and then got into the car and drove away...
However, before he could speak, Jiang Xia said, "I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first."
Toru Amuro: "???"
As he looked more and more confused, Jiang Xia waved at him and leaned over to get into a taxi on the street.
The car door slammed shut, and the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
“…”
Toru Amuro stood in the exhaust gas on the street, watching the car going farther and farther away until it finally disappeared.
After a long silence, he slowly raised his hand and pinched himself.
"Hiss... It's not a dream." Amuro Toru fell into deep thought, "What happened today? Was I possessed by evil spirits?"
…
Just now when the police were busy investigating the information, Noah suddenly made a new discovery.
The ghost who was addicted to surfing the Internet happily told his psychic master that a familiar "Mr. Yamada" appeared on the hospital's inpatient list today.
"Vodka was fine on the way to the hospital?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "His event physique is really not strong enough. Fortunately, Ireland had a sudden idea and formed some kind of alliance, otherwise we might not have gained so much yesterday."
The ghosts looked at the plump inventory and made noises of approval in fear.
In any case, since my dear colleague is in the hospital, I must visit him.
Jiang Xia asked the driver to drive to the park, where he first retrieved his motorcycle. Then he rode to the flower shop, picked out a bunch of white and fragrant hyacinths, and asked the clerk to pack them.
"It's a pity that there is no vanilla in the store." Jiang Xia pinched the soft petals, feeling quite regretful, "But they are all white and fragrant flowers, so rounding it off is about the same - using flowers as a metaphor for people, I hope he can drop more ice cream after he gets it, and don't let me down."
Carrying the bouquet of flowers, Jiang Xia came to Mihua General Hospital in a good mood.
Then I received some bad news.
"Mr. Yamada? He was just transferred to another hospital."
The young nurse said to Jiang Xia, "Doctor Heishan said that this place is too busy and not good for the patient's mental health. Mr. Yamada also doesn't seem to like it very much. So not long ago, they hit it off and went to another suburban hospital that we have a partnership with."
Jiang Xia: “…”
…
The other side.
The Shikigawa Gorge outside Tokyo.
Officer Takagi, who was in charge of protecting the witness, was panting as he followed Ms. Akiba and climbed up the mountain with great effort.
"Isn't this place a bit dangerous?" He looked at the increasingly dangerous altitude and the steep steps, and couldn't help asking, "You are being targeted, why do you still go out? Can't you wait until the murderer is caught?"
