Ireland finally escaped from the burning house, and also took advantage of the thick smoke to swoop down and hide in the river.
While carefully avoiding all kinds of sights from the shore, he slowly approached a more convenient position to escape.
At this time, Ireland suddenly became confused and felt that something was not right about the weeds on the river bank. When he looked carefully, he saw a vague figure there.
The man was also looking at him, obviously recognizing him.
The hair color of the two was quite similar, and Ireland quickly recognized the unlucky guy who was also hiding in the river: "Bourbon?"
If he had only three points of doubt about Bourbon before, now, the only three points have been transferred to Uzo's head.
The two looked at each other, mostly submerged in the river water, with only a pair of eyes emerging. Looking at each other's embarrassed looks, they were speechless for a moment, knowing that what happened this time was probably not the other party's mischief, but someone else behind the scenes.
Toru Amuro looked at the fellow sufferers not far away and found that Ireland's hair was a little singed. When this man was swimming, there were also some small holes burned in his exposed clothes. He looked to be in a much worse situation than his own.
.
Toru Amuro: "..." From the looks of it, was Ireland also at the explosion site just now?
No, there should have been no one else in the warehouse at that time. Ireland probably discovered that something was wrong in the warehouse when he walked nearby, so he hid in a nearby room and was affected by the explosion.
...It's a pity that he wasn't burned to death.
Toru Amuro muttered regretfully in his heart.
…
Compared with this undercover agent who hated all organization cadres, Ireland felt that Bourbon was a little more friendly, and he felt like a fellow sufferer. He nodded at him from a distance: He was not the only one who suffered the disaster. No matter what Toru Amuro thought, he was anyway.
I feel much more comfortable than before.
Toru Amuro felt this inexplicable kindness: "..."
He looked annoyed, stopped paying attention to Ireland, and turned to observe the surrounding situation.
This factory is surrounded by water on two sides. The other two sides are walkable, but they are very flat and there is no place to hide. Now many reporters and onlookers have heard the news and come here. There are all pairs of eyes outside. They want to avoid being alarmed.
Anyone who escapes from those two sides will have a hard time reaching heaven.
Therefore, Toru Amuro quickly retracted his gaze from those two directions and turned to look across the river.
The situation on this retreat route is much better. Opposite is a residential area that has been built for some years. The alley is narrow and there are not many surveillance cameras. As long as you sneak past it in one breath, it is not difficult to escape from the complicated alley.
It's just that the process of climbing from the river to the shore contains both sounds and movements, and may be seen by people here.
Even if there is a hat blocking his face and his face cannot be photographed from this side, it will still be a bit troublesome if a manhunt is triggered.
Toru Amuro: "..." Fortunately, he just eavesdropped on the reporter's movement and knew that the kidnappers have been found and the hostages have also been found. When the short-term chaos subsides, the police should withdraw, or at least relax their vigilance.
.As long as you wait patiently in the water for a while, it is not difficult to escape without any injuries.
On the other side, Ireland obviously thought of the same thing and did not dare to act rashly.
He had surveyed the terrain before coming here and brought waterproof things, but he didn't expect to actually use them now.
Ireland turned sideways, took out the mobile phone that was temporarily stuffed into the waterproof bag, and opened it where Bourbon couldn't see it, hoping to find someone nearby to respond, just in case.
But before sending the message, Ireland hesitated; this look of evading the police in embarrassment was really ugly...
"But fortunately, things haven't reached the worst point yet." He comforted himself in his heart, "If it were me, I would throw a body into the river. This way the police can fish along the river and find the corpse hidden in the river.
The people there are hiding in the river near the crime scene. They are simply natural suspects... Huh, in front of the camera, that guy Uzo didn't dare to do anything."
Just as this thought flashed across my mind, less than a hundred meters away, under the bridge to the west, a burst of exclamation suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, people gathered around him one after another.
"?!"
Ireland looked over there with a vague feeling of something bad.
Not long after, I heard a reporter passing by the river. The man was on the phone: "Homicide? Where is it... so close?! I'll be there immediately!"
The reporter hung up the phone and rushed over there excitedly.
Not long after, the bridge was surrounded and the police rushed over. Coupled with the crowds who came to watch after hearing the news, there were even more eyes nearby.
Those who were paying attention to the factory and the fire just now, and only occasionally drifted to the river, now all focused on the river.
If the difficulty of reaching the other side of the river quietly just now was one star, then now, the difficulty has been blackened by several stars in an instant.
Ireland:"……"
Toru Amuro: "..."
Compared to Ireland, who looked extremely complicated, Toru Amuro was more concerned about another thing at this time——
Why does Ireland have such an ugly expression?
As for that, although the situation is indeed a bit difficult now, as long as you hold your breath long enough and dive farther, it is not difficult to escape from here... Isn't Ireland good at swimming?
He silently wrote down the information in his mind that he didn't know whether it was true or false.
…
Surprisingly, another case occurred nearby so quickly. Before Conan could recover from the kidnapping case, he immediately perked up and threw himself into a brand new case.
Jiang Xia also ran over quickly.
After running a few steps, he remembered something and couldn't help but glance at the river.
Will these two big masses of murderous aura soaked in the river really not catch a cold afterwards?
Jiang Xia: "..." But after all, they are organizational cadres, and their physical fitness should be better than the last. It doesn't seem to be a big problem.
Anyway, the weather is not cold now. During this period of time in the water, the murderous energy of the two people was much more efficient than usual. If you want to, you can soak for a while.
Jiang Xia happily respected the bathing hobby of her two colleagues.
…
Not long after, the police, detectives, and reporters all gathered under the bridge not far away.
There was a person lying on the path under the bridge. He looked like a middle-aged man. He had been dead for some time. He had a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked like he had been poisoned.
Mumu Police Department looked at the corpse on the ground, wiped the sweat from his head, and sighed helplessly: "..." Just now he was glad that after the kidnapping case turned into an explosion case, colleagues from other departments came to take over.
As a result, before I could rest for a few minutes, a new job started again.
But no matter what, the deceased could not be left alone. He skillfully ordered: "Protect the scene, ask for someone from the forensic department to come over, and check the identity of the deceased immediately."
The police officers responded and hurriedly moved into action with the same proficiency as him.
