Jiang Xia glanced behind Kei Nei, showing a complicated expression with a hint of worry, and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to find that 'Uncle of the foster home?', I just saw him and his bodyguard going here.
Just left."
Hit the red heart.
Keiko Neiuchi denied in panic: "No...I didn't look for him. I just wanted to go back to my room to get something, yes, my coat, that...it's late at night, it's too cold in the yard."
Jiang Xia said nothing and looked at her thoughtfully.
Keiko Niuchi was exposed to his gaze, her expression became increasingly stiff, and she always felt that her dark thoughts had been seen through by the other party.
However, what was unexpected was that Jiang Xia did not suddenly say something like "You are coming to attack him."
Instead, after looking deep into the corridor, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm actually here to remind you not to contact him alone."
Combined with the dark atmosphere of the night and the cold wind blowing on the back of the neck from time to time in the suburbs, Jiang Xia's voice was so low that it seemed as if he was worried about being heard by the mastermind behind the scenes, which made Keiko Niuchi shiver uncontrollably.
"Although there are still some doubts, the person who killed Mrs. Machiko Nouchi should be the 'Uncle Foster'."
She heard Jiang Xia say worriedly: "...I always feel that he has a strong murderous intention, but he has an alibi. If he can't find all the evidence, he may not be able to arrest him."
Keiko Niuchi was moved in her heart. The person who killed her step-brother was actually Niuchi's stepmother?!
For a moment, a thin layer of electricity seemed to pass through her back, arousing goosebumps, and she felt the fear of suddenly discovering that the prey she had been chasing for a long time was actually the boss behind the scenes who would die if he caught it.
With Jiang Xia's reputation in front of her, she believed the answer without much hesitation. And if the murderer was Ni Nei Yifang, the only conflict between him and his step-sibling was that his step-sibling wanted to kill him and seize the inheritance... Thinking of this
, Keiko Niuchi felt that the terrible butcher knife seemed to have been placed on her neck - she, she also thought about attacking the adopted uncle! If the adopted uncle Hinoui noticed this...
Just when I thought of this, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. As a certain sound disappeared, the moonlight in the courtyard seemed to become colder.
Kei Nei was startled, and in a flash of lightning, he suddenly understood what the missing sound was - before that, there had always been the "ticking" sound of clocks around him.
Separated by several layers of wooden boards and walls, this sound is not obvious, and because it is extremely regular, as long as you listen to it for a few seconds, it will become some kind of accustomed background, like the air floating around, the silence in the corner
The pine trees, the closing screens around me...
Only when the "ticking" sound suddenly stops, will it suddenly give people a feeling of being too quiet.
And this means...
Buzz——
The tight bow string was loosened, and the crossbow arrows that had been set up were ejected from the Buddhist hall, piercing the screen, across the instep of Kei Neuchi, and piercing deeply into the floor at her feet with a loud bang.
The tip of the arrow plowed a deep groove on the instep of her foot. The cut flesh turned pale at first, and then a large amount of blood gushed out. Keiko Niuchi let out a horrifying scream and staggered to the ground.
Jiang Xia, who was next to him, didn't seem to expect that things would turn out like this. He grabbed the arm of Kei Neuchi, threw him to the side, hid behind the wall himself, and then pushed away the punctured barrier: "Who?!"
Keiko Neuchi collapsed on the ground, covering her feet in pain, with a lot of curse words stuck in her heart and unable to speak out. She knew that there was no one in the Buddhist hall, only a crossbow with a timing device. What frightened her the most was,
The arrow should obviously not be fired at this time, why...
The image of "Uncle Foster" suddenly appeared in her mind.
Keiko Niuchi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that she understood - if it wasn't a malfunction of the bow and arrow, then her foster uncle must have discovered her following and the arrows in the Buddhist hall, so he went in and played around with them, hoping to stab the follower randomly.
The people behind!
Sure enough, as Jiang Xia said, he had a strong murderous intention... When Keiko Niuchi thought of the horrific corpse of her step-brother, her pupils trembled.
Jiang Xia observed the Buddhist hall and found that there was no one inside, so he pretended to go in to see what was going on.
At this time, Keiko Niuchi suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures running one behind the other from the depths of the corridor. In that direction... they were Yifu Niuchi and his bodyguard!!
When Keiko Neiuchi saw the mastermind behind the scenes approaching, she was so frightened that she almost left her body. She hugged Jiang Xia's legs and hugged her tightly: "Don't go! Don't go! He wants to kill me, they want to kill me!!"
Jiang Xia silently lowered her head and glanced at her, and saw that as the fake foster home came closer, the murderous aura in Kei Nei's body seemed to be frightened, and he scrambled to get away, slowly falling to the ground.
Jiang Xia stopped planning to enter the Buddhist hall, first rescued her legs from the hands of Kei Nei, then squatted down and patted her comfortingly.
By the way, when no one is paying attention, pick up the murderous aura.
Then Jiang Xia also turned around and looked at the fake foster sister and his Brazilian "bodyguard" with a wary expression.
The Brazilian guy was very confused, and he was also confused. The two of them came following the screams.
However, when the sworn brother saw the arrow on the ground, the location of the Buddhist hall, and heard Keiko Niuchi muttering "Don't kill me," he vaguely guessed the current situation.
Seeing Jiang Xia's guarded look again, Jiajiafang snorted with unknown meaning: "The police here are getting worse and worse. They can't even compare to a child who is still in school."
Jiang Xia: "..." It seems that Brazil does not have this kind of high school detective culture...
The fake sister-in-law looked at Keiko, who was scared to death. After thinking for a moment, she bypassed her and walked towards the group of policemen.
Although he said that just now, as a Japanese-American, Fang Fang actually knows a lot about the detectives of the island country.
Now that he has been seen through, it shouldn't take too long for Jiang Xia to find the evidence. It is better to explain the matter clearly now. Maybe the police will let him stay until the will is announced the next morning for the sake of his honesty.
when.
Even if he can't stay, he has already identified the two most dangerous people. If the police are involved, the other family members of the insider should understand that once something happens to the Brazilian guy, they will be the biggest suspects, and then they will curb the threat.
action.
...After struggling for so long, everything is finally coming to an end.
…
Early the next morning, in the warehouse of Zhennei's house.
Kudo Yusaku got up from the concrete floor with a sore back, rubbed his neck, and was stunned for a while, then suddenly remembered what happened before.
Finding that the environment was relatively safe, he first subconsciously began to think about who had attacked him. Many speculations flashed through his mind, but he could not be sure.
At the same time, Kudo Yusaku took out his mobile phone and checked the time.
