"..."
Amuro Toru closed the device smoothly and took it off. He thought of a lot in that moment.
If they were suddenly attacked after peripheral members installed the equipment, the matter would be relatively simple - probably a strange person passed by, tortured everyone hiding on the mountain, and then walked away waving his sleeves
.
But what if... the recording equipment was not installed by peripheral members.
Is it Tatsuzo Watanuki's enemy? Someone related to the murder case five years ago? Or... is there someone else helping the organization?
A figure suddenly appeared in Amuro Toru's mind.
Wearing a police academy uniform, with fluffy black natural curls - Matsuda Jinpei's face.
After a moment of pause, the face in his mind changed slightly and slowly changed into the mysterious man who called himself "Kurosawa Zuo".
...I suddenly remembered this because Toru Amuro remembered that a similar thing seemed to have happened in the Tougami Forest - the murderer who killed the fake "Jiang Xia" was beaten up by Matsuda for no reason. If Feng had been there at that time,
Mian Yu didn't arrive in time, so he would probably be beaten twice in a row.
And now, there are people around who are being beaten inexplicably... The victims are peripheral members of the organization, and Tatsuzo Watanuki's younger brother. No matter who they are, they can be regarded as outlaws, and in the forest of Tougami
The nature of the murderer is the same.
Toru Amuro: "..." Could it be that Matsuda is still following him until now?
In addition, and more importantly, in this case, what happened to the recording equipment installed in the tree? Is Matsuda really connected with the organization?
...No, we can’t draw a conclusion yet.
To figure this out, the first thing to determine is whether the equipment was installed by peripheral members or by Matsuda. Otherwise, everything is just a useless guess.
Toru Amuro took the dismantled recording equipment and jumped down from the tree. He wanted to wake up the people on the ground immediately and ask about the situation.
However, although his identity of "Toru Amuro" is fake, during his undercover period, this identity is considered his "identity", and it is not easy to expose "Toru Amuro = Bourbon" to others casually.
In the end, Toru Amuro could only hold back and prepare to send an email to inquire later.
Jiang Xia also scouted around and walked back, stepping on dead leaves.
A crisp sound interrupted Toru Amuro's thoughts.
He looked at Jiang Xia, who glanced at the recording equipment in his hand. He seemed to remember that "you should try your best to cover your boss's waistcoat", so Jiang Xia asked like a simple working detective: "Should we call the police?"
"It's okay, it's stopped." Toru Amuro lowered his voice and shook the recording equipment in his hand towards Jiang Xia, indicating that the thing was not working at the moment and they did not need to continue the performance, "leave here first."
…
On the way down the mountain, Toru Amuro took out his cell phone and sent an email to the organization members staying near the hotel, asking them to come up and clean up the scene as soon as possible.
He himself and Jiang Xia chose a road that would not meet those people and returned to the hotel.
The only people who had seen him and Jiang Xia just now were Watanuki Tatsuzo and his two younger brothers. After those three people fainted, they didn't know the time. They could completely figure it out on their own. When they lost consciousness, the two detectives' mobile phones ran out of battery.
, had no choice but to go down the mountain to find a place to call the police. During this period, peripheral members of the organization went up the mountain to pick up a leak. Anyway, Watanuki Chenzo and the others did not know that members of the organization also fell to the ground around them. It would take a lot of time to deal with the aftermath. Moreover, there would be no information from both parties.
Interoperability, Watanuki Tatsuzo and others will only stay in the hands of peripheral members for a short time, and will soon be transferred to other places. By that time, and the five billion days lost due to Watanuki Tatsuzo's leak,
Compared with Yuan Dynasty, the intruding detective will naturally no longer be the focus of the problem.
…
Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru wandered around the foot of the mountain, and waited until the peripheral members moved all the people on the mountain away and packed up the bones, before they returned to the hotel.
Then Toru Amuro returned to the room, checked and processed the recording, packaged it and sent it to the person in charge of the docking.
Jiang Xia sat across from the coffee table and watched quietly.
When he saw Toru Amuro closing the computer, stretching, and looking like he was done and calling it a day, he couldn't help but ask: "Does this count as done?"
"Yes. More professional people are responsible for the interrogation and aftermath. Our job is only intelligence and supervision." Toru Amuro responded, walked to the small refrigerator in the corner of the room, took out a can of cold beer, and threw a can to Jiang Xia.
Chilled orange juice.
Then he opened the can with a bang, raised his head and took a comfortable sip, which was considered a small celebration.
It is not difficult to complete this organizational task, which is more formal than practical. What Toru Amuro wants to celebrate is actually the end of another thing...
He looked out the window at the night, drank beer, and briefly enjoyed some leisurely adult time. Then he turned around, planning to let Jiang Xia go back to his room to rest.
But just when he looked at Jiang Xia, Toru Amuro suddenly noticed that Jiang Xia was looking down at the can of ice orange juice, touching the condensed water mist on the can, and he seemed a little lost.
"...?"
Amuro Toru was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
Speaking of which, he had only been out with Jiang Xia for a few days, and he was already tortured by this pace of life. But Jiang Xia had lived a similar life for a long time, often encountering cases, and being disrupted by various murderers, but he
But he never refuses to solve the case.
...Is it because only in this way can Jiang Xia find his value and sense of existence as a detective? Because only at this time can he completely immerse himself in the role of a detective and briefly break away from his status as a peripheral member of the organization?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro reviewed it carefully. He found that the cases they encountered while out this time seemed to be a little more than what Jiang Xia usually encountered.
Jiang Xia may not have thought much about it, but subconsciously he combined this journey with the "case", so now that he heard that the journey was about to end, he reflexively felt disappointed.
"..." Thinking of this, Amuro Toru felt a little emotional.
If he had more free time, he wouldn't mind accompanying Jiang Xia to encounter a few more cases.
But...but he is really busy and has a lot to do, so he must try to maintain a healthy mental state...
Recalling my situation a few days ago, Toru Amuro's invitation to "It's okay, we'll go out together when we have time next time" was clearly on his lips, but he couldn't say it out anyway.
In the end, he just changed the subject with guilt and sent Jiang Xia back to the room.
All journeys should have an end, and this one is certainly the same. Although it is a pity, it must come to an end...
