As for the camera equipment, Jiang Xia picked it up and looked at it, then threw it away without installing it. He didn’t want to be photographed, whether it was the vest or the body. Fortunately, neither the conference nor the organization was a law-abiding organization.
We value physical evidence first and do not like to avoid suspicion of guilt.
It is enough to have recordings related to Watanuki Tatsuzo.
…
And now, Jiang Xia felt that since there were recording equipment hidden around him, it meant that his conversations with Toru Amuro and Tatsuzo Watanuki would be recorded and listened to again.
The people listening to the recording don’t yet know who they are. But one thing is for sure, the more people know the identities of members of their organization, the easier it will be for problems to arise.
Although not many people know about "Jiang Xia is a peripheral member" like "Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo", it is best not to spread it more.
So in the face of Watanuki Tatsuzo who wanted to delay time, Jiang Xia considerately responded with a cooperative attitude.
Like a normal detective, he prioritizes revealing the reasoning behind the murderer at critical moments, and the flow of time seems to slow down:
"Of course I'm not surprised. Because the deceased actually left your name in his handbook.
"He always writes his name as 'ホヅミ' because according to normal custom, if it is written in Chinese characters, many people cannot pronounce that surname. In fact, the list of staff members that the police obtained from the "Winter Maple Red" crew does not
Error. 'August 1st' is not the date mixed in, but the name of the deceased. His surname was 'August 1st' and his given name was '一'.
"Surnames with the pronunciation of 'ホヅミ' are usually written as 'Houzumi'. But in the past, August 1st was often the season for harvesting rice, so there were also surnames with the rare spelling of 'August 1st'.
"Similarly, there is the surname 'April 1st'. In April, when the weather gets warmer, people will take out the cotton from their clothes... Yes, this surname is pronounced the same as your 'Mianguan'
.This is why Mr. August 1st left a blood mark on 'April 1st' before his death.
"Ordinary people may not understand these pronunciations. But with a rare surname like Mr. August 1st, it is inevitable that people will be interested in similar people and know the relevant pronunciations. When you kill him, did he reveal some secret that cannot be exposed, such as
…This pile of bones at our feet?”
Sweat was streaming down Mian Guanchen's forehead. Although he had long planned to silence the two people in front of him who had seen the corpses, but like now, it felt like his thoughts and flaws were being dissected and analyzed bit by bit with words.
Very bad.
The murderous intention in his heart became more and more serious, but he did not dare to do anything because he did not know where the help was.
At this moment, Mian Guanchen's ears moved slightly, and he realized that someone was approaching.
He pretended to wipe his sweat, turned his head slightly, and saw a burly figure - under the moonlight, he could see a string of fluorite pendants around his neck, reflecting the white light faintly.
Watanuki Chenzo was delighted. This was the jewelry of one of his subordinates. Because of the bright colors, he was deeply impressed. Since the leader of the nearby group came over, there must be other subordinates following him. He raised his voice just now to summon his subordinates.
The method really worked!
When help came, Watuan Chensan straightened his back immediately.
The smile at the corner of his mouth became serious again: "Little detective, you are indeed very sharp. It's a pity that the 'April 1st' message before his death can't be used as evidence at all, because it might just be that the guy grabbed his hand casually before he died.
Account—Is it because you know this in your heart that you only tell your reasoning now, so you had no choice but to fish me out first?"
Jiang Xia said nothing.
Watanuki Chenzo felt that this young man was intimidated by his own aura, and his speech suddenly became smoother, and he applauded in a decent manner: "It's a good plan, and the bait you put out is also tempting enough."
"It's a pity that before fishing, you should carefully consider your own weight - can a thin fishing rod like yours afford a shark like me?"
He sneered: "It's a pity that you are a very talented young man, but you saw something you shouldn't have seen - haha, do you know why I didn't dispose of that body earlier?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young detective opposite said in a "What a problem is this" tone: "Because you are getting older and your memory has deteriorated, and you have forgotten where it was buried."
"..." Mian Guanchen's forehead twitched. The "corpse" he said obviously meant the unlucky "August 1st", but Jiang Xia was talking about the bones in front of him that were buried five years ago.
...Forgetting his position was indeed his huge mistake; getting more powerful but getting too old was indeed a scar in Watanuki Chenzo's heart. However, when he glanced at Jiang Xia coldly, he met Jiang Xia's calm and serious expression.
Watanuki Tatsuzo's expression was slightly startled. For a moment, it was difficult to determine whether this young man who spoke rudely did it on purpose, or whether he was so focused on the bones at his feet that he really confused the two.
Huh, but that's not important, it's all a death anyway.
Watanuki Tatsuzo pretended not to hear the disastrous words just now, maintained his coolness, and answered his own questions: "It's because there are some things that can only be done after dark. And I haven't done physical work for a long time.
It’s not easy to do it myself, so I hired my subordinates to help me with these boring tasks——”
As he said that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "I'm afraid their actions later will be very rough, because you have increased the workload of handling the corpses for them. Being too curious is not a good thing, but it is a pity that you
I can only take this knowledge into heaven."
Speaking of which, no matter how you look at it, the thousands of troops summoned by Watanuki Tatsuzo should have appeared from behind trees, bushes, late night shadows, etc. at this time.
In Watanuki Chenzo's peripheral vision, the fluorite light symbolizing helper was indeed approaching.
The bushes were pushed aside with a crash, and the little boss, who was tall and muscular and had a mighty aura, strode out.
Toru Amuro looked at him, and was completely startled. He subconsciously took a step back, looking a little shocked.
Jiang Xia was startled and took a step back to synchronize her reaction with that of a normal person.
The next second, the little boss's legs weakened when he made his debut, and he suddenly fell at the feet of Wankuan Chensan, making the old man tremble in shock.
The little boss struggled to raise his head, revealing a face covered with purple streaks. His face was slightly swollen, and his voice was crying: "Boss, run away! We...we have encountered a pervert..."
After conveying this vital information, his hands dropped and his raised head lowered, like a tragic hero who had finally completed his mission.
...If he hadn't been wearing pants, the scene might have been even more tragic.
"..."
The three of them looked at their loyal little brother who fell to the ground. No one spoke for a moment, only the wind rustling the leaves.
