Chapter 587 Your client is dead?mine too
When Toru Amuro heard the word "high school student detective", he instinctively glanced at "Jiang Xia".
Immediately afterwards, thinking of Jiang Xia's acquaintances he met along the way, another figure flashed in his mind, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Toru Amuro looked at the maid: "...The high school student detective you mentioned, could it be that dark-skinned Kansai detective?"
The maid immediately understood who he was referring to, and shook her head: "You are talking about Mr. Hattori. Actually, his name was originally on the guest list, but I heard that he is about to have a midterm exam and he is busy studying, so I sent it back." The check, no one came."
"..." Amuro let out a breath of relief.
Then I vaguely remembered something and looked at "Jiang Xia": "Are you about to take the exam too?" Why have I never seen you study...
Speaking of this, Toru Amuro suddenly realized that he hadn't read Jiang Xia's report card for a long time.When Jiang Xia first came to the office, Amuro searched through his relevant information and found a stack of blinding full-score examination papers.
... I don't know how Jiang Xia's grades have become after being a detective for so long and absent from school for a long time.The university entrance examination is still very important, so don't follow him for a while, from full marks to failing...
Kidd was suddenly cueed and stood up slightly.He checked some Jiang Xia's affairs at least, and calmly said: "Don't worry, entrustment is more important. And I can remember the knowledge after reading it once, so it's not a big problem."
The real Jiang Xia was wearing Matsuda Zhenping's vest, and nodded secretly in her heart: It's not bad, I learned quite like...
Beside, Motegi Haruki laughed a few times at the childish topic of "midterm exam".
Then he turned to the maid: "Where is your master who likes detectives? Now that we are all here, it is time for him to show up."
The maid also thought the party was a bit strange.
She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "The schedule my master gave me didn't say when he would show up... Maybe he didn't actually plan to show up—it's been so many days, and I haven't seen him once. "
Motegi Haruki was taken aback: "You haven't seen him either?"
"Yes. We usually communicate by email. The interview a few days ago, um..." the maid chose the appropriate adjective, "It was a wonderful interview."
——She is not a long-term servant of this family, but a temporary candidate to be in charge of this dinner.
Today, the maid waited alone in this gloomy villa for a long time, so it was inevitable that she felt a little nervous at this moment.
Facing a group of puzzled detectives, she bit her thumb and explained in a low voice:
"This job pays quite well, so there are a lot of applicants. I was very nervous at first, but when I entered the interview room, I found that there was no interviewer at all, only a computer, and on the computer table were dinner-related documents. material.
"When it was time for the interview to start, still no one showed up, only an instruction popped up on the computer screen—the host asked me to carefully read the materials on the table.
"I saw halfway, and suddenly heard a bell. When I looked up again, the words 'You have been hired' popped up on the desktop..."
A group of detectives: "..."
...a perfunctory interview.
Is the admission standard purely based on face?If that's the case, it's a "fantastic" interview, as she said.
After Jiang Xia listened silently, remembering what the mysterious villains should look like, she gave a low laugh, took off her sunglasses and put them in her pocket, and said lines that sounded right but were actually completely useless:
"It seems that it is difficult to meet the 'master' directly. However, this seems to be more interesting..."
Hearing his words, the maid turned her head slightly and looked at Jiang Xia, wanting to ask who he is.
——If I remember correctly, the young man in black in front of me was the only one present who hadn't appeared on the banquet list.So she has no impression of "Kurosawa Zuo" at all.
... In other words, no matter how you look at it, Jiang Xia, who is wearing a vest, is an uninvited guest.
However, before the question came out, the maid thought about it, and felt that it was not polite to directly ask the other party's origin.And it's almost like chasing customers, which is easy to embarrass.
"..." Forget it, anyway, although this person is dressed a bit gloomy.But it doesn't look like a bad person, and if the owner feels that this is inappropriate, he will definitely find a way to tell her, or directly come forward to drive away the guests... It's better not to make up your own mind.
She ended up saying nothing.
……
The other detectives did not raise any objections to Jiang Xia's existence—compared to this strange young man who seemed less threatening, the Kaitou Kidd who signed the invitation letter as "The Phantom Son Abandoned by God" was the one they were targeting on this trip. Target.
A group of people briefly introduced themselves.Jiang Xia reported her pseudonym "Kurosawa Zuo" behind Granny Qianjian, and was temporarily tacitly regarded as Granny Qianjian's companion by others.
Jiang Xia often comes to this annex building, and has already familiarized herself with all the places, and now she is as comfortable as coming home.
Seeing that the other detectives finished communicating and began to look around instinctively, he followed suit.
Then his eyes quickly fell on the door when a group of people came in.
——In the center of the door, there was a line of dark marks splashed obliquely, matching the old wooden door, which looked extremely dirty.
Just as Jiang Xia glanced at it, a sentence came from beside him naturally: "This should be the bloodstain from the early years."
Jiang Xia was startled, turned around, and saw Toru Amuro behind him: "..."
It seems that Toru Amuro has not given up on his plan to talk about intelligence.
Regardless of their true personality, intelligence personnel must at least be extroverted when they should be extroverted.
After Toru Amuro successfully caught up with the first sentence, he was about to follow this topic and draw out questions that he was really interested in.
But at this moment, in the corner of the hall, another person picked up what he just said.
"—To be precise, it should be a splatter of blood sticking to the door at a 45° angle.
"In addition, there are columnar blood stains on the wall and dripping blood stains on the floor... blood has spread almost every corner of this annex—it can be seen that this is not the amount of blood that can be shed by one or two people."
Following the unhurried voice, a woman came out from the small door on the side of the stairs.
Amuro, who was interrupted, frowned, turned around, and saw a familiar detective.
——Ikumi Gunta.
This is the neighbor near their detective agency.In addition, the two parties just met in the vampire villa a few days ago.
Guntian Yumi shook the small spray bottle containing the luminol reagent in her hand, looked at "Jiang Xia", and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon—I thought I would be busy with Mr. Hu Cang's investigation and couldn't come to this dinner, so I turned down the invitation. But I didn't expect the client to pass away suddenly..."
