Ireland chased him to the top of the building, only to find that the place was deserted - there was more than one entrance to the abandoned building. The guy who was standing on the top of the building pushing stones just now was obviously very familiar with the terrain here, and he quietly walked in another way while he was climbing the stairs.
Sneaked away.
Ireland cursed in his heart. He lowered his head to check the marks on the ground, tried his best to judge the direction in which the man left, and quickly chased after him.
The rooftop became silent, but the silence was soon broken again. Following the sound of footsteps, two people from the detective agency arrived.
"It ran so fast." Tohru Amuro didn't know who he was talking about. He also started to follow the traces. However, the roof was okay. When he got downstairs, the accumulation of dust decreased, and tracking quickly became difficult.
"I'll go over here and take a look." Amuro Toru struggled with the two roads for a moment, then turned to Jiang Xia and said, "You go over there - if you find traces of Ai... Dehua or the murderer, don't act rashly, send a message immediately
Give it to me. By the way, be careful of sneak attacks."
The reliable high school detective nodded, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Of course, I didn't forget to throw a ghost at Tohru Amuro before I left.
…
When a group of confident lone wolves divide into two groups, then into three groups, then into four groups.
An old street near a gas station.
A figure slowed down his running pace and stopped panting at the door of a bar.
Most of the buildings here have been abandoned, and the shops along the street have a ghostly look. The bar in front of them is also gray in color and looks like it has been closed for a long time.
But the figure who ran here came straight to the door. He first looked back behind him warily and saw that no one was chasing him, then he quickly stepped forward and entered the bar in a flash.
"What the hell is that woman doing! She actually let me go and didn't come to the meeting, and ran directly to the target."
Inumaru Taro wiped the sweat from his fake beard and cursed in his heart: "It's okay to approach the target without permission. This can be understood as part of the plan, but when we got there, she didn't actually do anything - no matter it was the car I hit with my car before."
I still hit the person with a rock just now. As long as she pushes back, the target can hit my attack. But what about her? She will only hide along with me. This guy is too unprofessional!
"
Leaning against the door and taking a breath, Inumaru Taro stood up and walked behind the bar.
This unassuming bar is actually a killer stronghold.
There was an unfinished puzzle hanging on the wall beside the bar. Inumaru Taro looked up at it, touched his pocket and took out a piece of the puzzle, and pressed the piece firmly into the puzzle on the wall.
With a burst of mechanical sound, the bar counter that was originally integrated suddenly clicked out a drawer.
There was a murder commission in the drawer. Inumaru Taro picked it up and flipped through it, stopping at one of the pages.
He stared at the target photo on the page and frowned: "I always feel that the foreigner just now looks different from the photo. We must have mistaken the wrong person, right?"... But the eyebrows have grown into such a strange shape.
Is there really a second guy in the world?
——According to the plan, he and Maya Tachibana should meet here first, and then go to the "Moori Detective Agency" mentioned in the power of attorney to squat on the target and wait for the opportunity to murder.
However, on the way, Inumaru Taro suddenly received a message from Tachibana Maya - the woman said that she met her target on the road.
Inumaru Taro was slightly stunned by this wonderful coincidence, and immediately felt that he had saved a lot of trouble. But when he was about to communicate the details, there was no reply from Maya Tachibana.
"That woman doesn't want to complete the task alone and then pocket the commission..."
Just as he was muttering, suddenly, a low chuckle came from behind him: "Is this how you talk about your partner behind his back?"
"?!" Inumaru Taro was startled, and turned around suddenly, only to find that Tachibana Maya had appeared behind him without knowing when.
"You bastard!" Inumaru Taro was startled by this elusive woman and became angry, "If you hadn't just..."
"Bang——"
With the intimate sound of fists and flesh touching, Inumaru Taro was punched away and fell to the ground.
"Be polite when speaking to your companions. The word 'bastard' is too rude." Tachibana Maya stepped over him, picked up the commission list next to him, glanced at it casually, and threw it back into the drawer.
Although she didn't say anything about this unfavorable assassination, she was obviously concerned in her heart.
"Just have a good rest." She touched the necklace pendant hanging on her chest, pulled it skillfully, and pulled out a tough steel wire from it.
The silk thread shone with a faint cold light in the dark bar. Tachibana Maya examined this useful weapon and smiled coldly: "Leave the rest to me."
She ignored the half-dead man on the ground and turned around and walked out.
…
As the crisp sound of the heels faded away, the bar became silent again.
But the silence didn't last long. Soon, the door was lightly knocked twice, and after a moment's pause, someone pushed the door open with a creak.
Jiang Xia played with the stick and walked in.
The spring-loaded door closed behind him. Jiang Xia glanced around and quickly stopped behind the bar. He walked to the front of the bar, leaned on the edge of the table and looked inside, and saw an unconscious person lying inside.
young man.
"Have you fainted?" Jiang Xia sighed, "I really don't need a beating."
He regretfully put the swing stick back into his pocket, then jumped over the bar counter with the tabletop, and picked up a few wisps of murderous aura scattered around the man without any interest.
When he straightened up, Jiang Xia paused and saw the pop-up drawer on the bar, as well as the assassination commission for Mouri Kogoro in the drawer.
"Now that I have this information, I think this place is a transit point for those killers." Jiang Xia tapped other parts of the bar with his fingers, listening to the empty echoing sound, "There are other hidden compartments here."
When Matsuda Jinpei heard this, he stopped sorting out the murderous smell of smoke, and relied on the ghost's mold-piercing ability to squeeze in and look around.
It soon figured it out and pointed to Jiang Xia at the puzzle pieces on the wall: Here is the switch that triggers the secret grid. Each vacant puzzle piece corresponds to a different drawer - the killers came here with their own puzzle pieces.
After pressing the puzzle piece into the corresponding space, the corresponding drawer can be opened.
"Huh?" Jiang Xia's eyes stopped on the puzzle piece, "This is a good idea."
Matsuda Jinpei floated to the other wall and patted the painting hanging there.
Jiang Xia stepped forward to uncover the painting and saw a one-way mirror. Looking from here, he could see the scene on the other side of the wall. Opposite was another completely symmetrical bar - this side was for the killer, and the other side was for the killer.
