Chapters 3630 & 3645 [Revealing the True Identity]
"Yes, why is that?"
Officer Takagi and Officer Sato were also wondering about the same problem with their superiors, but they didn't think it was a problem at all—because Jiang Xia was standing right next to them.
Everyone turned to look over there, and sure enough, the answer had fallen out.
Jiang Xia: "Of course, it's to get away with it—the best way to escape legal punishment is either to cover up the case so that no one finds out, or to let the suspicion fall on someone else."
After a pause, noticing that none of the police officers opposite him seemed to have a sudden realization, Jiang Xia had no choice but to be blunt: "In other words, Hirukawa Takuji is just a tool, and behind him, there is another dark hand manipulating the case."
Police officers: "!"
The police officer, who had just received orders and quietly infiltrated the ranks of the officers, exclaimed: "?!"
Kazami Yuya lowered his hat brim, his heart pounding: "..." Jiang Xia actually knew about Uzo, and even directly pointed out that person's existence?!
This innocent detective, will he suddenly be silenced?
Also, how does he know so much?
Countless thoughts flashed through Kazami Yuya's mind in an instant. He quietly took out his phone, ready to contact his real boss at any moment.
Before he could even press the dial button, Jiang Xia's voice came through again, carrying a hint of understanding and relief. She continued, "The boss probably saw through this, which is why he resolutely left the bus stop with the time bomb—if it weren't for him, that armored truck would probably have been killed."
Kazami Yuya broke out in a cold sweat as he listened: "..." That's right, Mr. Furuya did indeed feel that there was Uzo nearby, which is why he resolutely left the stage, wanting to try to break free from his identity as an actor and break into the backstage to grab a few staff members or even the director... But, but how could Jiang Xia directly reveal things related to that secret organization in front of so many people!
Jiang Xia didn't notice this ordinary passerby who didn't seem to be threatening. He helped his boss regain the favorability he had lost with the First Investigation Division, and he also helped himself gain some: "That's why I left just now."
"I see!" Inspector Megure was indeed moved: He knew it! Brother Jiang Xia isn't the kind of person who would just run away for no reason. His sudden departure was because he was going to do something even more dangerous!
He glanced at the shattered manhole at his feet, then at the dilapidated motorcycle beside him, and felt a wave of fear wash over him: "Next time something like this happens, be sure to tell me in advance so I can send some people to help you. Otherwise, it's just too dangerous."
Miwako Sato was equally moved, but compared to Inspector Megure, who had just suffered a head injury, she was more clear-headed: "Where is that mastermind now? We can't let him get away!"
Kazami Yuya sighed inwardly: "..." Unfortunately, based on my understanding of Uzo, he must have gracefully made his exit a long time ago.
Jiang Xia: "Based on the current situation, the mastermind behind this should be editor Chao Yong."
Kazami Yuya: "..."
Kazami Yuuya: "?!!"
...You not only know about the mastermind, but you also found out Uzo's name and profession?!
How did you do that!
Editor… No wonder! No wonder Uzo acts like a screenwriter, and his ruthlessness in setting up cases is like that of a writer with a twisted sense of humor. It turns out his real profession is editing!
Kazami Yuya felt it was somewhat surreal, but when he thought of Jiang Xia's speed in solving cases, he suddenly had a subtle feeling that "this is not unreasonable."
"The mystery we've been searching for so long, is it just being delivered to us like this? ...Are we going to be suddenly silenced? Is there some high-yield bomb hidden nearby? Will it explode any second and send everyone to their doom?"
His expression changed several times. After regaining his senses, he quickly took out his phone: No matter what, I should send the information I got to Mr. Furuya first. That way, my death won't have been in vain!
...
Streetside.
Amuro Tooru didn't go to the hospital at all. He had only been in a taxi for a short while when he stopped the car and got into a sedan that his subordinate had just driven over to the side of the road.
Just as I took out my phone to make a call, an email from Yuya Kazami popped up, with the key point clearly stated in the subject line:
[Usa's identity has been confirmed: his surname is Tomonaga, and he's an editor!! Owatari Town…]
Amuro Tooru clicked on it and saw the remaining content that couldn't fit in the title: [There may be a bomb in Owatari-cho, intended for regional cover-up!]
[The editor's identity was revealed by Jiang Xia; I and more than a dozen officers from the First Investigation Division all heard it!]
Toru Amuro: "..."
What a load of nonsense.
Is this guy still asleep?
He exited the email, casually shredded it, and muttered to himself, "Or is he subtly reminding me that he's under too much work pressure lately and needs a vacation?"
The moment Amuro Tooru saw "Uzo's identity confirmed," his heart actually skipped a beat, and his chest pounded.
But as the words "Tomonaga" and "editor" came into view, he suddenly remembered who this person was—wasn't this the editor witness whose picture book was stolen by the wanted criminal Hirukawa Takuji, who was also beaten up and had his arm in a sling?
Just then, my phone vibrated; it was Yuya Kazami calling.
Amuro Tooru's eye twitched. He really wanted to hang up immediately, but after a moment's hesitation, he finally answered the call.
“Mr. Furuya, I have separated myself from the crowd, and there is no one else around.” Kazami Yuya repeated the conversation he had just heard, his voice filled with obvious excitement and confusion:
"Jiang Xia suddenly revealed such a big secret in front of so many people, it's too strange... But we can't let this lead go. I'll have someone check if there are any editors in Tokyo with the surname 'Asagaya'!"
“No need to investigate anymore.” Amuro Tooru rubbed his temples. Kazami Yuya had been investigating another matter nearby, and he had just been temporarily reassigned to keep an eye on things for him. If he had known this misunderstanding would happen, he should have explained the case to him first…
However, it's not too late to say so now. To prevent his foolish subordinate from giving himself away, Amuro Tooru had no choice but to offer a brief explanation:
"Jiang Xia and I are investigating a series of bombings. The first-level killer is Hirukawa Takuji, but with his brains, he definitely couldn't have come up with such a convoluted way of committing the crime."
"So there must be a mastermind behind him guiding him—and it seems that person is most likely editor Tomonaga."
But Asanaga is just a puppet. He's on the second level, while Curaçao, who inexplicably appeared on the scene, is probably on the third level. Only later on will he be able to touch Uzo's clothes.
Kazami looks like he's accomplished something after only reaching the second level... I really don't want to tell anyone that this is his subordinate.
Fortunately, not many people knew about it to begin with.
