Chapter 425 What is the relationship between Wu Zuo and me, Jiang Xia?

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Jiang Xia nodded.

Then, as if he didn't want to see that troublesome "necklace", he slowly rewrapped the scarf.

……

Amuro Toru felt sympathy for the experience of the employees, but he did not forget to think about the information revealed in Jiang Xia's words just now.

Although from what Jiang Xia said, he seemed to be played by Qin Jiu.But Toru Amuro felt that there was no need for Gin to lie to Jiang Xia about this kind of thing, and he probably really took the "Hai Yuan" ship.Only later, a sudden murder disrupted Qin Jiu's plan, so he left secretly before being caught by the police.

Using this possibility as a basis for speculation...

Qin Jiu didn't transfer the ship from the organization, but took a merchant ship... There must be a reason for everything abnormal. Since this does not conform to Qin Jiu's law of action, it may be the arrangement of the local snake "Uzuo".

However, Gin, for some reason, accepted to take the "Umihara".But he was not at ease about Wu Zuo. At this time, he happened to meet Jiang Xia, so he wanted Jiang Xia, a detective with strong observation skills, to board the boat first and go to the thunder for him.

...a thug act with no regard for human life.

Toru Amuro added another page to his vengeance book.

At the same time, he thought, so it is possible that Jiang Xia might have come into contact with the mysterious "Uzo" near the Haiyuan.

Toru Amuro pondered for a moment, then asked carefully, "Who are there on that boat?"

Jiang Xia was slightly taken aback, showing a thoughtful expression.

Not really remembering the people on board.

Instead, he gradually discovered that Toru Amuro's focus at this time seemed to have been placed on people other than gin and vodka.

...The boss asked these questions because he was simply interested in Gin's mission goals,

Or did he learn through some means that besides the gin and vodka, there was another person on board who deserved the attention of the police?

This thought flashed, and Jiang Xia suddenly became alert.

Gin's tasks are heavy, and the importance of his tasks is often uneven. Unless Toru Amuro has some information in advance, he probably doesn't have time to watch what Gin does.

So the latter seems more likely.

The boss probably knew about "Uzo"...

However, judging from Amuro Toru's current reaction, he must have not matched "Uzo" and "Jiangxia". At most, he just heard rumors about Uzo from certain places.

There are not many people in the organization who know "Uzo".If Toru Amuro really learned about "Uzo" and became interested in it, then Toru Amuro's source of information is likely to be Gin who happened to have just returned to Tokyo.

Assuming that Toru Amuro obtained clues related to "Uzo" through observing gin...

Jiang Xia thought about it, and let go of her heart.

... If Toru Amuro is really observing "Uzo" by observing gin and vodka, then the more powerful Toru Amuro is, the closer he sees to the "Uzo" in Gin's eyes.

Jiang Xia thought about her image in the eyes of gin and vodka, and then thought about her image in Amuro Toru's eyes. I feel that for Amuro Toru, imagining "Jiang Xia is Uzo" is no less difficult than imagining that he is over half a century old The old-fashioned homeroom teacher immediately tossed his clothes and ran to the nightclub to do a striptease after class...Unless you have seen it with your own eyes, it is difficult to have such an association.

Thoughts flashed quickly, Jiang Xia didn't pause for too long, and answered Amuro Toru's question just now:

"There is the captain and his daughter on board the Hai Yuan. Judging from what happened later, there are two other passengers. Gin and vodka may also be on board, and..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia stopped talking, and frowned in thought.

"What else?" Toru Amuro felt that he had grasped the key point, "Don't worry about saying something wrong, just tell me what you think is wrong."

"En." Jiang Xia responded, and then said carefully:

"I always felt that there was actually another person on the boat at the time.

"—When I was in a seaside hotel, I once passed a strange man. The man's hat was pulled down and his face was covered with sunglasses. Although he didn't act strangely, I always felt that he There is a kind of..."

Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, clasped his hands against his chin, paused for a while, and then gave a word uncertainly:

"—the breath of crime."

Afterwards, he continued with Toru Amuro's serious eyes: "Later on the ship, because of Gin's previous threat, I never left the cabin before the murder happened. But I still have a vague feeling—that People are nearby, on that boat."

...Although things like breath belong to the category of metaphysics.But detective work, how can it be called metaphysics.It was a hunch, it was a flash of inspiration, and it made perfect sense.

——Jiang Xia suddenly said that because there is a "Uzo" in the organization, which is an established fact.

Instead of letting other people guess wildly and finally guess him by mistake, it is better to push a dummy out to be this fake "Uzo".

In this way, even if the reds are free and want to pick up their vests, according to the usual practice, they have to take an extra detour of "the hard-picked 'Uzo' is actually just a shield", and then bury their heads and continue to pick up the real "Uzo". ——In this way, Jiang Xia can have a lot of leeway to wrap up her identity.

As for who should be chosen as the false Uzo... There is no need to worry about it, of course it is his loyal and reliable puppet subordinate.

Although there is no suitable puppet at the moment, anyway, there are very few people who know about Wuzuo. In the early days, there will be a little rumor, so as to occupy a vacant seat. When there is a usable puppet in the future, it is completely reasonable to let it work on the spot.

In fact, Jiang Xia had a similar idea long ago.

So he prays every day that he can pick up a handsome adult boy with inconspicuous tattoos to act as a "Uzo"-one of the effective ways to prevent being stripped of the vest is to put on several layers of vests, so that if it falls One floor, there are other lines of defense below, so you won't be caught to the end...

However, after praying for so long, all the strange sea, land and air vests are available, as well as beautiful sisters and handsome children, but adult male ghosts still refuse to appear... Every time I think of this question, Jiang Xia can't help but fall into deep thought, I wondered why his European spirit couldn't be focused on key points.

Listening to Jiang Xia's conjecture, Amuro Toru looked at his sincerely troubled expression, thinking that Jiang Xia was awkward because of the dislocation of "feeling that there are dangerous people around but there is no evidence".

In addition, having seen many cases solved by Jiang Xia, I have confidence in his reasoning ability, observation ability and intuition.

At this time, Toru Amuro also felt that that Uzo might really be on the boat at that time.
