Fortunately, Toru Amuro hasn't gone far yet.
Jiang Xia chased him out and grabbed him: "How about I go too?"
Toru Amuro was confused: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Xia said considerately like a serious apprentice: "I'll give you a hand."
Toru Amuro decisively refused: "No, you have to work hard."
"..."
The official reason didn't work, so Jiang Xia thought for a while and found another way: "This is my coupon."
"..." Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, then took out his wallet, "Then sell it to me."
"No, this is not for sale." Jiang Xia also felt that he was suspicious, but he thought about the ghost in the distance and said firmly, "What the customer gives you is your heart, how can you use it for profit."
Toru Amuro: "..."
He originally wondered if Jiang Xia had an ulterior motive - such as Gin or some suspicious person asking Jiang Xia to pay attention to his movements.
But soon, Toru Amuro thought again: Jiang Xia gave him the coupon easily at first, but then suddenly...
…
He recalled Jiang Xia's action of taking out his mobile phone to search before he went out, and he seemed to understand - Jiang Xia might have suddenly discovered that this was a store owned by a celebrity, and the experience coupons were limited edition, so he wanted to join in the fun.
When Jiang Xia saw Toru Amuro's sudden silence, he felt that something was wrong.
He continued to secretly benefit himself: "If you go alone, it is easy to arouse suspicion, but it is different with a student. The target will relax his vigilance, and I can also help you look out."
"Hmm..." Amuro Toru looked at Jiang Xia. This apprentice can be annoying sometimes, but when he is quiet and doesn't talk, it is really easy for people to relax their vigilance...
…
Although Toru Amuro prays for the collapse of the organization every day, he will still carry out the organization's tasks seriously.
First, bosses and colleagues are not all fools. The paddling is too obvious and easy to spot.
The second is what the organization wants to do, which is usually valuable information for the police.
In addition, in addition to selling organizations on a daily basis, undercover agents actually have one more thing to do - instigate new undercover agents to rebel.
It is much more convenient to incite known members to rebel than to send another undercover agent. Although this also has disadvantages, such as being easily backstabbed by the new undercover who jumps repeatedly, or even exposing the original undercover, but...
…
Toru Amuro looked at Jiang Xia silently.
...Speaking of this, he actually always felt that Jiang Xia was quite suitable to be incited to rebel.
Although in principle, we must care for minors and care for the future of the island country.
But if Jiang Xia insists on getting involved in his mission, he can also contact him more and slowly train him in this direction.
After all, Jiang Xia is different from other minors. He seems to have been led by his parents to hang out in the organization since he was a child. He must have done a lot of illegal things. It is too difficult to clean up, so it is better to just become a gray undercover.
…
Jiang Xia saw Toru Amuro thinking for a long time, and finally nodded.
"I'll give you 10 minutes to pack your luggage and then set off." After Toru Amuro made his decision, he turned around and went out, "If you're late, just stay and look at the store."
10 minutes was almost the time it took Toru Amuro to walk to a nearby parking lot and then drive the car there.
Any more and his car may be ticketed. After all, this place is very close to the Metropolitan Police Department, and many law enforcement officers pass by on a daily basis.
…
Jiang Xia had nothing to clean up, so he went to the convenience store nearby to buy some daily necessities.
When I returned to the office, I happened to see Toru Amuro's car parked at the door.
…
On the way to Izu.
Toru Amuro handed Jiang Xia a photo. On the photo was a broken pottery:
"A while ago, when we were having a meeting at a common place, someone knocked off a pottery ornament on the cabinet - there was a very strange structure in the pottery, which seemed to be able to hold a recording device with a long standby time.
"We suspect that someone wants to use it to eavesdrop on the organization's information. According to the investigation, this pottery is the work of Kikuemon, but its internal style is very different from Kikuemon. I originally suspected that it was a fake, but Follow the path to find out...it did flow from Kikuemon's pottery workshop."
Kikuemon is old and has recently been making pottery and porcelain. He is no longer in good condition and has always refused to receive visitors.
Toru Amuro was still thinking about how to contact him as naturally as possible.
Unexpectedly, when he entered the office just now, he saw Jiang Xia holding an experience ticket related to Kikuemon.
...This apprentice, if nothing else, is really lucky.
In the car, Jiang Xia looked at the photos for a while and vaguely understood what was going on.
——This unique pottery matches a certain case he knows.
The black organization is once again battling common murder cases...
…
When we set off, it was already evening.
Toru Amuro has a busy schedule and doesn't like to put things off until the next day.
I originally planned to arrive at the beach that day.
However, halfway, his plan was disrupted.
——While the car was driving through the forest, it ran over something and suddenly had a flat tire.
…
Jiang Xia was still leaning on the back of the chair and feeling sleepy, but now he sat upright - a flat tire in the forest, an accidental murder while staying overnight... it's all like this in comics!
Toru Amuro just thought Jiang Xia was surprised because of a flat tire and didn't think much about it.
He parked the car, opened the door, and went down to check.
Jiang Xia also got out of the car, pretending to care about this transportation tool.
In fact, he was looking around intently.
Soon, his eyes passed through a thick tree and landed at the foot of the cliff dozens of meters away.
There is a simple wooden building "suspended" in mid-air, supported by countless wooden frames underneath, with a flowing waterfall hanging next to it.
…
As soon as Jiang Xia's eyes fell on it, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi, who had been used as pillows by him, raised their heads and looked over there.
Jiang Xia originally thought that the ghosts felt murderous intent or the breath of shikigami.
Unexpectedly, the two ghosts exchanged whispers, and the feedback they received turned out to be that the ghost fetus had been found.
Jiang Xia was startled.
"..." Going out with the boss is such a good thing?
Just as I was thinking about it, the trunk clicked.
Jiang Xia was startled and looked back.
I saw a spare tire exposed in the open trunk.
Toru Amuro found a tool bag next to the spare tire. Then he rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to change the tire on the spot.
Jiang Xia: "...?"
……no! ! !
No one can leave until he gets the new ghost fetus.
…
When Toru Amuro concentrated on removing the tire.
Jiang Xia walked next to him, squatted down, and pretended to watch the tire change.
In fact, he let the shikigami float into the open trunk and let Xiaobai float over too.
Soon, the little white brand puppets silently piled up in the trunk.
Jiang Xia's consciousness came over and looked to her side, staring at the intact spare tire.
…
The puppet had no tools on him and no knife in the trunk.
Amuro revealed that he often had flat tires outside the house, and his movements of removing the tires were very neat.
Jiang Xia felt a little anxious when he heard what was happening on his side. He tried to gather the energy of the shikigami on his nails, but Xiaobai didn't seem to have the talent for this. He poked hard and only made a few marks.
...At this time, I regretted not choosing Miyano Akemi just now. But Miyano Akemi is an adult's body after all, so she can't squeeze into the trunk and is easily exposed.
Time was running out. In the trunk, Jiang Xia stared at the spare tire with dark eyes, feeling that it was quite clean.
He thought about the new ghost tire not far away, waiting for him to pick it up... Finally, with a heartbeat, he released the energy wrapped around his nails, strengthened his teeth, and bit down on the tire.
Teeth are indeed the hardest part of the human body.
It lived up to his expectations.
…
Toru Amuro, who had just finished unloading the tire, was suddenly startled.
He listened carefully and felt that there were some strange crunching sounds mixed in with the sound of wind and leaves.
Toru Amuro looked at Jiang Xia uncertainly:
"Did you hear it?"
"Huh?" Jiang Xia took a moment to recover, and her voice was a little vague for some reason. He looked up at the sky and said seriously, "It's raining."
It did rain.
It rained heavily and rapidly, and the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves gradually became noticeable.
Amuro Toru frowned. What he was asking about was actually not the sound, but more like something gnawing at something... But forget it, since Jiang Xia didn't hear it, he might have heard it wrong.
…
However, after a few seconds.
When Toru Amuro walked around to the trunk and reached for the new tire, he realized that the strange noise just now did not seem to be his imagination.
——The spare tire that was still intact just now suddenly had a chip.
"..." The cracks were jagged and looked like they had been torn open by force.
Combined with the dark woods at this time and the unexplained tire blowout just now, Toru Amuro suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Speaking of which, he remembered that there seemed to be some scary legends around here. It seems like a man-eating monster or something...
Toru Amuro's hand subconsciously moved to where the gun was hidden, and then stopped again.
...No, this world is materialistic and there will be no monsters.
Everything should have a reasonable explanation.
——The flat tire must have been caused by accidentally running over something on the ground.
It’s no surprise that there are a lot of sharp rocks in the woods.
The tire was damaged because he left the trunk open after taking the tools, so an animal slipped in.
Wild animals move light and agile, and coupled with the sound of wind and other noises in the forest in the evening, it was normal that he failed to notice them in time.
But why is this unknown creature chewing on tires? There are clearly snacks such as biscuits placed in front of the car...
