Toru Amuro is a man with many vests and can seamlessly switch between various identities. As long as he wants to be talkative, he can be very talkative.
He quickly blended into the atmosphere.
In fact, at first, Toru Amuro had no intention of traveling with two female high school students and an elementary school student.
But just now, when Jiang Xia saw these three people, she turned around as if she couldn't walk, and couldn't stop shouting... Toru Amuro had gone downstairs with Jiang Xia before, so it was a bit deliberate to separate now. If there is a suspicious person in this restaurant, it might arouse suspicion.
So Toru Amuro had no choice but to follow.
Then comfort yourself, it is also a good plan to have a few more people to cover.
In addition, Toru Amuro is actually a little curious - Jiang Xia's attitude towards these people is obviously very unusual. To be honest, the moment Jiang Xia paused when he went downstairs, Toru Amuro felt that the employees' eyes were looking like they were trying to catch someone.
However, after following Jiang Xia's line of sight, Amuro Toru felt that he had made a mistake - the people sitting at this table were obviously two girls and a negligible elementary school student.
…
When Toru Amuro was getting close to his classmates, Jiang Xia looked at the B&B and focused on the waiter.
There is no tough guy with dark skin mixed in there.
He looked at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko again.
The two female classmates were wearing yukata today, as if they had just returned from a festival. In addition, Suzuki Sonoko also kept a camera.
Jiang Xia: "..." I always feel that these elements are very familiar, like the configuration in a certain murder case.
And if it was really that case, then Suzuki Sonoko should have been targeted by a dangerous serial killer by now.
…
——In my impression, after the murderer was dumped by his ex-girlfriend, he hated all women who dyed their hair and liked to dress up.
He will try his best to get close to the target, lure the person to a secluded place, and then use a knife to dig out the woman's internal organs.
Tonight, the murderer actually just killed a "prey".
He immediately focused on Suzuki Sonoko again because Suzuki Sonoko happened to pass by the murder site on her way back from the festival.
After various coincidences, the murderer thought: Suzuki Sonoko took photos of him during the murder.
…
It stands to reason that at that time, it was in the wilderness, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the murderer was holding a murderous weapon.
Faced with two weak girls who might have photographed evidence of his crime, he should have rushed over arrogantly, achieved three kills, and then snatched away the evidence.
However, out of some intuition, the murderer finally lay down in the grass and watched the three people walk away.
He just silently recorded the face of the girl who took the photo, Suzuki Sonoko, and guessed from Suzuki Sonoko's unchanged pace that she just took the photo casually and didn't realize what she had captured.
…
So the murderer decided to follow them, find where they lived, and then wait for an opportunity to snatch the film from the camera, and launch a series of fatal persecutions against Suzuki Sonoko.
According to normal circumstances, there should be a hero here to save the beauty.
But Jiang Xia looked around and couldn't see the hero.
Jiang Xia silently looked away.
Forget it, it's not important. Anyway, the murderer is a scumbag, so it's not difficult to deal with him.
More than this, Jiang Xia wanted to see the murderer as soon as possible.
He touched the stick in his pocket expectantly.
…
When Jiang Xia was planning to knock someone out.
The ordered meals were brought out one after another.
During the meal, seeing that Toru Amuro had no objection, Jiang Xia invited three classmates:
"Let's go to the nearby pottery classroom tomorrow - a client of the office has given us an experience coupon. There is no limit to the number of people."
Of course the other three would not refuse.
Mao Lilan was even a little happy: "I happen to be meeting an important person in a few days. I haven't decided what gift to choose yet. Now that I think about it, handmade pottery should be very good."
Conan's ears twitched: "Who are you meeting?"
Mao Lilan originally wanted to go see her mother - her mother is currently separated from Mao Li Kogoro, and the mother and daughter go out to get together every now and then.
However, before she said it, Mao Lilan suddenly realized why she wanted to tell such a thing to a primary school student.
So Mao Lilan thought for a while, swallowed his words, and tapped Conan on the head: "Children, don't inquire about adults."
…
Suzuki Sonoko also nodded happily.
After today's day, her "civilian strategy to attract Han people" has begun to bear fruit.
...The effect is that it has no effect at all. There is no need to continue.
Whether it was on the tram when we arrived, or at the festival just now, or even when we were sitting here ordering food... Every single one of the boys passing by was looking at Xiaolan.
The only exception is probably Jiang Xia.
However, Jiang Xia has no reference value: because according to Suzuki Sonoko's observation, Jiang Xia has always looked at each of them equally, and even Conan has caught his gaze.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko sighed quietly:
Since I can't catch any wild handsome guys anyway, I might as well follow Jiang Xia to the pottery classroom.
Speaking of which, the boss of Jiangxia is actually very handsome. Sure enough, handsome guys tend to appear in groups...
…
It's a bit late today and the ceramics classroom is closed.
They made an appointment to meet the next morning and then returned to their respective rooms.
Late at night, Toru Amuro went to Kikuemon's house alone to investigate without taking Jiangxia with him, leaving Jiangxia to be the lookout.
Jiang Xia nodded solemnly in agreement.
He watched Toru Amuro leave the room, and then watched him climb over the wall.
Wait until Toru Amuro can no longer see this side.
Jiang Xia left the window, lay down to catch up on her sleep, and subcontracted the task of watching the wind to two clever ghosts.
——In the eyes of the organization members, there may be a mysterious person in Kikuemon's house who is deliberately trying to eavesdrop on the organization's secrets.
However, in Jiang Xia's eyes, the "pottery used for eavesdropping" in the organization's conference room was probably made by a pottery maker who wanted to use it as a murder prop, but was accidentally sold by someone else.
The Kikuemon family didn't keep any dogs, and they didn't even hire security guards.
Not to mention sneaking in, Toru Amuro even wanted to walk sideways inside, and there was no problem at all.
So when Jiang Xia let go of his teammates, his conscience didn't hurt at all.
…
When Toru Amuro came back, he found nothing. We can only hope for the next investigation.
The pottery classroom only opens in the afternoon.
At noon the next day, the five of them had dinner and left the B&B.
During this period of time, Jiang Xia finally found the person she was looking for.
——The murderer was dressed like a playboy in a flowery shirt and was wandering around the B&B.
In Jiang Xia's opinion, he is really easy to recognize.
——This man has four shikigami on his legs. Even if he is thrown into the crowd, he is like a bright light in the dark night, firmly attracting Jiang Xia's attention.
…
The murderer, Masahiko Michio, originally planned to use a beauty trick to get close to Suzuki Sonoko.
Because last night, he heard Suzuki Sonoko complain that no one wanted to talk to her.
Masahiko Michio has even thought of his lines.
However, he never expected that after just one night of not paying attention, a boy would be born out of thin air next to his target, and there would be two more boys at once.
Michio Masahiko secretly observed for a while, and then discovered with dismay and frustration: The beauty trick may not be effective for Suzuki Sonoko, unless she prefers the style of a decadent uncle...
"..." But even so, we must find a way to take away the film. Otherwise, once Suzuki Sonoko develops the film, he will no longer be able to hide his murder.
…
Soon, Masahiko Michihara saw Suzuki Sonoko and her companions and left the B&B.
He gritted his teeth and wanted to walk over, find an excuse to go with him temporarily, and then wait for an opportunity to steal the camera.
However, before that, Dori Masahiko was suddenly startled.
He saw Suzuki Sonoko and his group more than ten meters away and stopped.
——A woman in a black dress walked out of the shadows of the corridor and stopped in front of them.
…
Suzuki Sonoko has never met Anonymous and does not recognize her.
Toru Amuro felt that the person blocking the road looked familiar, but he was not sure yet.
Mao Lilan and Conan looked at the people in front of them, stunned.
It was still the familiar long black gauze skirt, the same sun hat with a wide brim, the same skin that was too pale to be human and the cold and silent aura... But now, when the two of them saw her again, their feelings had changed. It’s completely different from what I was on the Shinkansen.
——Before, cold white skin would only make people think that Anonymous did not like to bask in the sun.
But now, when the name "Anonymous" appeared in their minds, Mao Lilan and Conan were both excited and thought of "Wraith Spirit" at the same time.
——The Anonymous jumped off the Shinkansen with a pack of bombs under the watchful eyes of so many people, and then the explosives exploded.
Although no one saw her being bombed with their own eyes, in that situation... could anyone really survive?
Mao Lilan's eyes widened. She felt that at this time, she should thank Anonymous for saving everyone in the car and saving her life.
But her fear of ghosts made her tremble and she was on the verge of leaving her body. In the end, Mao Lilan could only bow in a less than standard manner and reluctantly expressed her gratitude through actions.
Anonymous nodded slightly in response.
Then she held up the brim of her hat, revealing a pair of deep-set eyes, and looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a clear purpose: "Hello."
