Chapter 604: Message before death. Additional update to the leader of the alliance [Do not change the name if it is inappropriate]
Toru Amuro happened to be next to Jiang Xia.
When I heard him say this, I walked around and looked at the piano cover: "... Indeed."
At the same time, he frowned secretly, feeling a little confused.
...I always feel that Matsuda’s speed in searching for clues is a bit unusual.
This room is not too small. In addition to the piano, the standing cabinet next to it, the balcony, and behind the door... there are many places where clues may be hidden, but Matsuda immediately went around to the other side and observed the piano cover.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, Matsuda's eyes almost didn't stop anywhere else just now, and immediately came to the angle where the piano cover was facing.
It’s so fast that it’s like I knew there was a problem here in advance…
"..."
Tohru Amuro suddenly thought that this "so fast that it goes against common sense" when searching for clues gave him a strong sense of déjà vu...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at "Jiang Xia" who was also leaning over to check the bottom of the piano.
Of course, because just now, when faced with the car explosion, this "Jiang Xia"'s reaction was slightly inconsistent. In addition, this case is related to Kidd, Amuro Toru suspected that the "Jiang Xia" next to him was actually Kidd in disguise.
Made.
so……
Could it be that Kidd disguised himself as Jiang Xia, and then disguised Jiang Xia as someone else? - For example, the young man in front of him who looked very much like "Matsuda" but called himself "Kurosawa"?
This thought flashed through Amuro Toru's mind for a moment.
But when I think about it rationally, I find it a bit ridiculous.
And this assumption is full of flaws.
First of all, in this case, when we played billiards together before, he couldn't explain the familiarity with "Kurosawa" - Matsuda is not keen on taking pictures, and even less so on videos. It is difficult for others to imitate his small movements through images.
.In other words, if someone really deliberately imitated Matsuda's every move, it should have been when Matsuda was still alive.
And when Matsuda was bombed and sacrificed, Jiang Xia was just 15 years old... Not to mention that Jiang Xia had no motive to imitate Matsuda. Even if he had, 3 years later, Jiang Xia's height has become much higher than before, and his body shape has also changed accordingly. Even if he imitated Matsuda at that time,
No matter how similar it is, it must be different now.
Moreover, there is no reason for Jiang Xia to follow Kidd's suggestion and team up with this thief to deceive his boss... After all, Jiang Xia knows that "Amuro Toru" is not just an ordinary "Amuro Toru" who likes to work part-time, but a dangerous "Bourbon" in the organization.
.Leaking out this kind of identity is a dangerous thing for him, Jiang Xia, and the person who is forced to hear the secret. Jiang Xia has no motive to do this.
Toru Amuro: "..." Wait?
Think about it carefully, what is there to worry about?
——Whether he is disguised or not can be determined by pinching Matsuda's face hard. After all, disguise is something that cannot be torn apart.
Thinking of this, Amuro couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at "Kurosawa" who was right next to him and could touch it with his hand, and moved his fingers.
But then he thought about it, and based on his observations, there were also cameras in this piano room.
If Matsuda is really disguised by someone else, and underneath the disguise is a face that shouldn’t be seen...
Tsk, let’s forget it first.
Then find an angle where the camera can't capture it and tear it apart slowly, so as not to be seen by strangers whose positions are unclear.
…
Although Amuro Toru's expression control is very good, Jiang Xia has been working with him for so long, and now he is very familiar with the boss's way of making up for the time.
Jiang Xia also knew that the speed with which he discovered clues was a little suspicious...but what does that have to do with it?
Now that he is Uzo after all, it is no surprise that he knows nothing.
In fact, if the imagination monsters increase their power, they may think that this entire incident was planned by him, an innocent passerby.
...It’s such a joy to open a trumpet, and you don’t need to explain if you are misunderstood. If you encounter someone you scare in the future, you might be able to scare someone with murderous intent.
As for what "Uzuo" and Jiang Xia have in common...
There are many types of geniuses in the world, and there is often more than one. Since there are geniuses who solve crimes, there can also be geniuses who commit crimes. Isn't it very reasonable that the two can find clues at about the same speed?
...The only problem is that, for some reason, when Toru Amuro stared at him, he felt a phantom pain on his face. Obviously, puppets don't feel pain.
...Forget it, it's not a big problem.
A puppet is different from a disguise. A solid puppet is not afraid of tearing. Only by cutting it off with a knife can you see the flaws in the internal structure.
But the boss probably wouldn't do such a crazy thing. Of course, if he did, he would probably be close to collapse. The broken boss cannot be kept, and can only be tied back to create a murderous perpetual motion machine...
…
The two of them walked away briefly.
Then he quickly thought of business again.
——There are even wet stains on the tilted lid of the piano, but there is not much water on the ground. This quickly reminds people of the small spray bottle on Gunda Ikumi.
If I remember correctly, Ikumi Gunada carried a bottle of luminol reagent with him, and he used it just now in the lobby.
The wet marks on the piano now were probably sprayed on by her to check for clues.
Luminol reagent is a commonly used prop when detecting blood stains. The strong oxidant produced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide in the solution and the ferrous ions in hemoglobin can make the reagent fluoresce.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suggested: "Turn off the lights and take a look."
Kidd, who was dressed as Jiang Xia, responded, walked to the wall consciously, and clicked off the light - employees should take the initiative to grab work when they are with the boss...
Kidd ran his errands quickly and felt that he knew how to assess the situation.
But suddenly he felt that Toru Amuro glanced at him, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, which seemed to further confirm that something was wrong.
But after turning off the lights, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and it was temporarily difficult for human eyes to see the surroundings clearly, and the same was true for Kidd.
He couldn't be sure for a moment whether this was true or an illusion caused by his guilty conscience.
After his eyes adjusted to the light, he took a closer look and saw that Toru Amuro was not looking at him, but was focusing on the piano cover.
"..." Kidd hesitated for a moment, but after all he was still somewhat interested in the treasure, so he decided to get closer and take a closer look.
...Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that he seemed to have been exposed.
Fortunately, there is still a murderer who killed the gourmet detective watching behind the camera. Kidd should be just a secondary target of these detectives.
Before the murderer is solved, he will not become the most conspicuous target. As long as he escapes in time, it will be fine...
…
As the surroundings darkened, several lines of fluorescent text appeared on the piano lid.
——This is a line of blood writing that has been tried to be cleared, but in the end it still left traces in front of the reagent:
[I finally hold the trump card to find the treasure - Kyosuke Senma]
