Chapter 417 What is the relationship between Wu Zuo and me, Jiang Xia
"Okay, thank you for your help." Jiang Xia nodded.
Then, as if he didn't want to see the troublesome "necklace", he slowly wrapped the scarf again.
…
While Toru Amuro felt sympathy for the employees' plight, he also did not forget to think about the information revealed in Jiang Xia's words just now.
Although Jiang Xia seemed to have been fooled by Gin, Amuro Toru felt that Gin had no need to lie to Jiang Xia about this matter, and he was probably on the "Kaihara". However, a sudden murder case disrupted Gin's plan, so he left secretly before being spotted by the police.
Based on this possibility, I speculate...
Gin did not travel on a ship transferred by the organization, but took a merchant ship... Everything abnormal must have a reason. Since this does not conform to Gin's pattern of action, it may be the arrangement of the local tyrant "Uzo".
Although Gin accepted to board the "Kaihara" for some reason, he was not sure about Uzo. At this time, he happened to meet Jiang Xia, so he wanted Jiang Xia, a detective with strong observation ability, to board the ship first to help him.
...mob behavior with no regard for human life.
Another page has been added to Toru Amuro's book of grudges.
At the same time, he thought that, in this case, Jiang Xia might have actually come into contact with the mysterious "Wu Zo" near the Haiyuan.
Amuro Toru pondered for a moment and asked carefully: "Who were on that ship?"
Jiang Xia was slightly startled and looked thoughtful.
Not really recalling the people on board.
Instead, he gradually discovered that Toru Amuro's focus at this time seemed to be on people other than Gin and Vodka.
...The boss asked these questions simply because he was interested in Gin's mission goal.
Or did he find out through some means that in addition to gin and vodka, there was another person on the ship who deserved the attention of the public security?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Xia suddenly became alert.
Gin has a lot of tasks to do, and the importance of his tasks often varies. Unless Toru Amuro has certain information in advance, he should not have the time to keep an eye on what Gin is doing specifically.
Therefore, the latter possibility seems more likely.
Could it be that the boss knew about "Uzo"...
However, judging from Toru Amuro's current reaction, he definitely hasn't matched "Uzo" and "Jiang Xia". At most, he has only heard rumors about Uzo from certain places.
Not many people in the organization know about "Uzo". If Toru Amuro really got the news about "Uzo" and became interested in it, then the source of his information is likely to be Gin, who just returned to Tokyo.
Assuming that Toru Amuro got the clues related to "Uzo" by observing Gin...
Jiang Xia thought about it and felt relieved.
...If Toru Amuro is really observing "Uzo" by observing Gin and Vodka, then the more powerful Toru Amuro is, the closer what he sees is to the "Uzo" in Gin's eyes.
Jiang Xia thought about his image in the eyes of Gin and Vodka, and then thought about his image in the eyes of Amuro Toru. He felt that for Amuro Toru, imagining that "Jiang Xia is Uzo" was as difficult as imagining that the old-fashioned class teacher in his fifties would immediately throw away his clothes and run to a nightclub to dance striptease after class... Unless you have seen it with your own eyes, it is difficult to have such an association.
Jiang Xia's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he did not pause for too long before answering Amuro Toru's question:
"The captain and his daughter were on board the Kaihara. Judging from the incident that happened later, there were two other passengers. Gin and Vodka might also be on board. In addition..."
Having said that, Jiang Xia stopped talking and frowned in thought.
"What else?" Amuro Toru felt that he had grasped the key point, "Don't worry about saying it wrong, just tell me what you think is wrong."
"Yeah." Jiang Xia responded, then said carefully:
“I always felt that there was actually another person on the boat at the time.
"——When I was at the seaside hotel before, I passed by a strange man. The man had his hat pulled low and wore sunglasses to cover his face. Although he didn't do anything strange, I always felt that he had a kind of..."
Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, clasped his hands and rested his chin. He paused for a long time before giving a word uncertainly:
"——The smell of crime."
Afterwards, he continued under Toru Amuro's suddenly solemn gaze: "Later on the ship, because of Gin's previous threats, I did not leave the cabin before the murder happened. But I still had a vague feeling - that person was nearby, on that ship."
…Although things like aura belong to the realm of metaphysics, how can detective work be called metaphysics? This is a premonition, a flash of inspiration, and it makes perfect sense.
——Jiang Xia suddenly said this because it is an established fact that there is a "Wu Zuo" in the organization.
Instead of letting others guess wildly and finally guess him by accident, it is better to push a dummy out to be the fake "Uzo".
In this way, even if the red team has nothing to do and wants to expose the identity, according to convention, they have to take a detour and say that "the 'Wu Zuo' that they worked so hard to expose is actually just a shield", and then continue to expose the real "Wu Zuo" - in this way, Jiang Xia will have plenty of spare time to tighten his identity.
As for who to choose to be the fake Uzo... there is no need to worry about it, of course it will be his loyal and reliable puppet subordinates.
Although there is no suitable ghost fetus at present, there are very few people who know about Uzo now. It is completely reasonable to spread some rumors in the early stage to occupy a vacancy, and then let it take up the position when a usable puppet is available in the future.
Jiang Xia actually had similar ideas a long time ago.
So he prayed every day that he could find a handsome adult male ghost with inconspicuous tattoos to act as an "Uzo" - one of the effective ways to prevent being stripped of the vest is to put on several layers of vests, so that if one layer falls off, there are other lines of defense underneath, so that it will not be stripped completely...
However, after praying for so long, all the strange vests of land, sea and air were obtained, and there were also beautiful sisters and handsome children, but the adult male ghost fetus just refused to show up... Every time Jiang Xia thought of this problem, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, wondering why his luck couldn't be used at the key point.
Toru Amuro listened to Jiang Xia's speculation and looked at his genuinely troubled expression, thinking that Jiang Xia was feeling uncomfortable with the dislocated feeling of "feeling that there are dangerous people around but having no evidence".
In addition, I have seen many cases solved by Jiang Xia, and I have confidence in his reasoning ability, observation and intuition.
At this time, Toru Amuro also felt that Uzo might really have been on the boat at that time.
