Judging from the photos provided by Toru Amuro, what was missing was a "necklace pendant".
This thing is half the size of a thumb, has a dark color, like some kind of opaque gemstone, and is said to have a memory card sealed in the middle.
After Calvados got the pendant, he was supposed to deliver it to a nearby safe house in the early hours of the morning, but for some unknown reason he went straight home and never showed up again.
By the time Ginjiu took time out of his busy schedule to come to the door, the people in the room were already cold.
"Judging from the autopsy results, Calvados committed suicide after drinking sleeping pills. There were no signs of a fight at the scene. In other words, the person who killed him was most likely an acquaintance of his, or even someone hidden in the organization.
's undercover."
"The superiors have decided to investigate in two ways. Members who are familiar with him are already being questioned by Gin. Our task is to follow the idea of 'outsiders committing the crime' to find the possible murderer."
While Shiraishi was looking through the details of the information, Toru Amuro parked the car in a parking lot near Calvados' house.
This dead wine is quite good at enjoying life. He lives in a three-story detached house with high-end decoration materials.
It is a bit far away from the city. Because the scenery is very good and the land is relatively expensive, most of the people who build the houses are big guys with spare money. The occupancy rate is not high. For daily maintenance, we basically rely on housekeeping companies.
Toru Amuro parked his car near the nearest cleaning company and disappeared for an hour. When he came back, he had changed into a cleaning company employee uniform.
When he arrived at the Calvados house, Toru Amuro looked at his watch and said to Shiraishi:
"Around 11 o'clock, a cleaning cart will pass by here. There is a folding bicycle in the trunk of my car. You can take it and hide nearby. Later, you can knock over the bucket on the cart and then leave.
Be careful to avoid surveillance."
Hearing this, Shiraishi probably guessed what Toru Amuro wanted to do.
He took the keys to the bicycle and opened the trunk. He found that not only was there a folding bicycle, but a small motorcycle was also stuffed inside.
No wonder Toru Amuro didn't drive the Mazda he was used to today, but a seven-seater car with a removable last row of seats.
Very well prepared, but...
Shiraishi looked at the handsome motorcycle and withdrew his hand from reaching for the bike: "You have a motorcycle in your car."
Hitting someone and escaping on a bicycle is already disgraceful in itself, and the speed of the car is not fast. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if you were overtaken?
Toru Amuro glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "I was in a hurry when I went out and forgot to bring my car keys."
"..." I believe you.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shiraishi couldn't run over and grab it if he didn't give it to him. He took out the bicycle with a hint of disgust, turned into a nearby alley, and quickly unfolded the bicycle and packed it up.
Toru Amuro also quickly got out of the car and walked in another direction.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, Shiraishi stood behind the telephone pole and saw an old woman in her sixties or seventies pushing a cleaning cart as she passed by the intersection ahead.
Only then did he understand why Toru Amuro didn't give him a motorcycle.
In addition to feeling sorry for the car, I probably don’t want to hit someone to death. Judging from the body of this grandma, let alone the motorcycle, even if she was scratched by the bicycle, she would not have to do anything today. She would run with the victim.
Hospital.
On the phone, Toru Amuro sent a message to start taking action.
Shiraishi glanced down, got on his bicycle, and approached the old lady from behind.
The hunched figure in front of him made his conscience hurt, but as an undercover agent, he couldn't be considered a complete undercover agent unless he did some bad things.
Shiraishi knocked down the bucket on the cart with precision, then he held the handle firmly and fled the scene amidst the shock of the old lady's condemnation.
The old man's voice was full of energy, and his health was probably better than Shiraishi thought.
When he turned at the intersection ahead, Shiraishi glanced back and saw that the "new employee" Toru Amuro had already run to the old woman's side, squatting down to help her pack up the things scattered on the floor.
What a skillful person to take care of.
…
Shiraishi bypassed several unmonitored intersections and turned back to the parking lot.
Toru Amuro didn't lock the car.
Shiraishi returned to the car and turned on the light screen to watch the advanced bombing tutorial video. At the same time, he stole some popcorn from the Q version assistant who slipped out to watch together.
When the Q version assistant lowered his head and found that the box was empty, and when he was holding it in confusion and thinking about Q, Tooru Amuro finally came back with the information.
He took off his gloves and threw them into the plastic bag at his feet: "Asked."
The energetic old woman's intelligence gathering ability is sometimes as good as Amuro Toru's.
Calvados seems to have been dating a girlfriend recently. When his aunt cleans for him, she occasionally cleans out some women's items.
Early yesterday morning, when the old lady was cleaning the house next door, she saw a well-dressed woman leaving Calvados' house carrying a backpack.
The style of the backpack is relatively rough and the color is pure black, because I feel that the woman's dress and the backpack are too out of place, and my aunt is deeply impressed by this.
Toru Amuro found a map from the car, recalled the nearby surveillance cameras, marked them one by one, and said casually:
"I've seen Calvados's bag. He bought it when he went on a mission to Russia. That style is rarely seen in China and is highly recognizable. Although it may not be useful, it can be regarded as a clue.
"
After marking the last known point, he sent an email, and within a few minutes, another email came back to his phone.
Shiraishi took a closer look and found that they were actually two pieces of surveillance video. One was more than three seconds long, and the other was only about one second.
The first paragraph is a scene of a woman carrying a backpack and passing by the corner of the surveillance camera. It was dark at the time and the picture was not very clear. Her face was blocked by a wide-brimmed hat. It could only be seen that the person was of average build and not fat.
Not thin.
Another section showed an image of a car passing by at an intersection. The sunshade in front of the driver's seat was lowered, but the woman's face could still not be seen clearly. The model of the car was an ordinary Toyota that can be seen everywhere.
If the license plate hadn't been blocked, the people checking the surveillance might not have discovered there was anything wrong with the car.
Surveillance footage is usually transmitted to the local police station. It is not known whether this is another undercover agent sent by the organization to the police station, or whether Toru Amuro has connections with the public security.
Shiraishi thought for a while and felt that the former was more likely. He held his head and thought to himself that he must be more careful when calling the police in the future - the undercovers in this world have strong vitality and are widely distributed, making them almost impossible to guard against.
After checking along the way, Bai Shi suddenly sat upright when passing a certain single-family house.
He heard the sound of water droplets, and the system actually issued a task at this time:
[The silly granddaughter who is eager to save her beloved father and angers the deceased on the keyboard x1]
"..." Shiraishi temporarily ignored this strangely informative title and began to think about it - why was the mission triggered at this time?
He turned around and looked at the place he passed just now.
Based on the current orientation of the car, there is a beautifully decorated single-family house on the right side of the road, and a piece of land that is still for sale on the left.
If there is a task, it means that a case is about to happen.
According to the law of crime aggregation in this world...well, this law was compiled by Shiraishi. I don't know if it is accurate, so I will use it for now.
In short, when Toru Amuro noticed something strange about Shiraishi and asked him, "What did you see?", Shiraishi pointed to the single house on the rear right and said, "There is something wrong with that house."
