Although a murder case was reported, the murderer was not the kind of murderer who kills randomly. A group of people slept peacefully in the guest room.
When he woke up the next day, it was clear that there was no one to watch him. Toshiya Tadokoro did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he stayed in the villa, made breakfast for everyone in the house, and then calmly waited for the arrival of the police.
After the news came over the phone that "the road has been repaired and the police will arrive soon," everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting rid of the state of being trapped in the haunted house, their mentality became a little more relaxed, and some of them became more active.
…
Jiang Xia went to the bathroom to sign Shikigami, and on the way back, he was stopped by editor-in-chief Doi.
The middle-aged man with a high hairline wiped his sweat and looked around.
He failed to find Toru Amuro, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping suspiciously. He thought there was no one around, so he started to ask Jiang Xia for his own publishing house.
"Jiang Xia...little sir." Doi always felt that facing this face, at his age, it was a bit difficult to call him "Mr.", "Um, have you ever considered writing a book part-time? For example, based on the cases you have experienced.
, adapted into unit stories and serialized in our magazine."
Jiang Xia thought about it and felt that there were not many events related to novelists, and writing a book would take up a lot of time. If you have this time, it would be better to get to know a few more novelists directly...
So I declined, "I've never written anything like this before, and I don't have any creative talent, so forget it."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't write." Editor-in-chief Doi misunderstood and felt hopeful, so he lowered his voice and whispered, "Actually, I know a few suitable ghostwriters. As long as you are willing to publish the novel in your own name and do a little writing
publicity……"
Jiang Xia: "..."
Ghostwriting…
He suspected that the editor wanted to murder him, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
Editor-in-Chief Doi wants to say something else.
But halfway through speaking, I suddenly felt a chill that had a very strong presence.
He trembled, and after being stunned, he looked at Jiang Xia, and saw that Jiang Xia was looking at him carefully, as if she wanted to find something from him.
During the few seconds when Chief Editor Doi did not dare to move, the young detective looked back and forth over his body several times with sharp and expectant eyes.
Then left disappointed.
Editor-in-chief Doi, who was left behind: "...?"
Although I don’t know what happened, but...it seems that the persuasion failed?
……well.
…
After a while, the police finally followed the clear road and arrived in front of the villa.
After Toshiya Toshiya's body was picked up by the police, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the cars going away and sighed.
Then he didn't want to affect other people's mood, adjusted his condition as soon as possible, turned his head and asked Jiang Xia with a smile: "Xiaolan and I made an appointment to check in at the red maple leaf attraction in a few days, do we want to come together?"
Jiang Xia was very moved.
But he was torn between Suzuki Sonoko and Amuro Toru, and then found that the boss at this time seemed slightly more suspicious than before on the way to Dracula's villa - Amuro Toru didn't seem to intend to end his relationship.
Observe the plan. On the contrary, the journey will be extended again.
In other words, the boss still has great potential and can continue to exploit it for a while...
And Jiang Xia always felt that if he chose to follow Toru Amuro, he might be able to have both sides.
——Toru Amuro's action of secretly throwing the dice behind his back was indeed very hidden. Even if Jiang Xia was curious and wanted to see it, he had never been able to see it successfully.
But the ghosts, especially Jinpei Matsuda who was suspiciously observing Tohru Amuro, were particularly concerned about this old classmate's actions.
Therefore, Jiang Xia quickly learned about the dice and why they kept changing routes along the way.
Judging from the current results, Amuro Toru's dice is quite magical - it can always guide them to the owner of the event physique. For example, Conan and Mouri's father and daughter, such as the Suzuki sisters... and even Rum
and Curacao.
And according to Suzuki Sonoko, she will go out with Maori Ran soon. By then, Conan will definitely follow him in a cute way... With these three people together, it may be obvious which direction Amuro Toru's dice will turn.
...Of course, if the dice really doesn't know how to move, you can also try to use puppet clay or ghosts to do some tricks to make it turn in the desired direction.
…
Jiang Xia's thoughts flashed in her mind and she quickly made a decision.
He looked at Suzuki Sonoko and regretfully declined the invitation: "We still have urgent commissions to deal with."
"Oh..." Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed. Coupled with the tragedy of the Tadokoro brothers and sisters last night, she didn't ask any more questions for a while. She waved to Jiang Xia and got into the car sent by the Suzuki family to pick them up.
Jiang Xia also waved to her, thinking to herself: See you at the check-in attraction in a few days.
…
Next to him, Toru Amuro had no idea what would happen to him and the die next.
He declined the request to go to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters to take notes, and briefly took notes with Jiang Xia at the vampire villa, and then quickly left in a low-key manner.
On the way, Toru Amuro occasionally glanced at Jiang Xia with his peripheral vision and fell into deep thought.
In Dracula's villa, Jiang Xia's reluctance to solve the case was given a reasonable explanation.
But some of Toru Amuro's previous associations had not completely dissipated in his mind.
——If Jiang Xia is not suspicious, there are too many "coincidences" around Jiang Xia, and there may even be potential motives for committing crimes.
But to say it is suspicious... there is no evidence at all.
Moreover, the closer he monitored Jiang Xia, the more innocent he felt. Because Toru Amuro was able to confirm that during this period, Jiang Xia had indeed not done anything, nor had he contacted any possible "accomplices". He even had no idea what would happen next.
I don't know the route to take.
...In any case, I decided not to waste manpower and it was still necessary to complete the observation schedule for Jiangxia - indeed there are some doubts that have not yet been clarified.
Having said that, if you walk a little further, you probably won’t meet any acquaintances. By then, there will be fewer disturbing factors...
Toru Amuro was secretly looking forward to it.
…
That night.
Tokyo, new clinic.
After taking a bath and processing the information collected by Yi Rong in the past few days, Belmode glanced at the mobile phone next to him and frowned.
Whenever she is free, she likes to send a few messages to Jiang Xia, trying to find out information about the children she cares about. At the same time, she also hopes that Jiang Xia can get rid of his wariness about her as soon as possible, give himself to her, and come to her to be a friend.
Psychotherapy or something...
However, in the past, when Jiang Xia sent messages, especially when she mentioned that she was going out for a party or traveling, Jiang Xia would occasionally reply.
But now, no matter what I say, there is only a cold automatic reply - to the effect that he is busy, please do not contact me.
