Chapter 389 The Arrogant Detective(1/2)
Jiang Xia was distracted and he heard everything he should have heard.
At present, the situation of Takeda's family is the same as he remembers.
——A total of three people died. The Misa mother and daughter were said to have committed suicide, while the partner named Nekiki said to have committed suicide, but judging from the Shikigami on Robert's leg, he was killed by Robert.
Moreover, Shikigami was still squeezing on Robert's legs, and the ulterior motives would not have fallen from the root. They should be one of the mother and daughter.
But theoretically speaking, those who commit suicide cannot even lose Shikigami, let alone evil spirits, at most they leave a mass of murderous aura. Unless... Misa or her mother has one who did not commit suicide?
...It's a secret breath.
Jiang Xia was not surprised after reaching this conclusion. He remembered that the family's relationship was quite chaotic - Takeda Misa was the daughter of Takeda Nobuichi, but in fact Takeda Nobuichi could not have children. So more than 20 years ago, Takeda Nobuichi's wife went to ask Takeda's second son to give birth to Misa with her and served as Takeda Nobuichi's biological daughter to raise.
Later, Nobuichi Takeda found out about this.
Takeda Shin-kun, a drug dealer, had already broken through the bottom line of the law. Even if he could endure it when he saw through the truth, if he suddenly had an emotional outburst one day or got drunk, he would be unable to think about it for a moment... It would not be surprising that in such a wilderness, it would be manually "death" by people around him.
Many speculations flashed through Jiang Xia's mind in an instant, and his thoughts quickly closed.
Now, he could not even determine whether the wild ghost elixir was Takeda and his daughter. Maybe it would be other people who died nearby... There are too many possibilities, and it is useless to think about it. It would be better to catch the ghost and ask.
Of course, this is mainly to save time, and it has nothing to do with him wanting to see the new ghost as soon as possible...
Speaking of this, the ghosts in their home have been floating out for several minutes, so why are they still running around?
Is it so difficult to catch this ghost this time?
As he thought about it, Jiang Xia glanced in the direction he sensed.
The ghosts were blocked by the houses, and he had no perspective function and was unfortunately unable to see them.
But when I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man walking over with a smile on his face.
The man has a circle of beards and a bare U-shaped hairline on his head.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Jiang Xia, indicating his identity as the client: "Hello, I am Takeda Nobuichi who sent you a letter."
As he said that, Takeda Shin-seen glanced at the people gathered in the yard, pulled Jiang Xia to the side, and lowered his voice:
"You should have heard Yoko say it just now--in fact, what I hope you checked was the matter of Mr. Nekiki who 'hanged himself' a few days ago."
Jiang Xia nodded, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help but pause on Takeda Shinichi's dangerous hairline and layered head-up lines, feeling a little relieved - fortunately, the elixir was not the object of silence.
No, I can't say that. If a second ghost could really be lost here, he wouldn't mind. After all, it's not good-looking and there are bad-looking uses...
As Takeda Shin-chi said, he suddenly felt cold on his back, and he felt a vague illusion that he was stared at by some eyes hidden in the dark.
He looked back at the tree that was blown by the mountain wind, thinking that it should be the reason for the wind. So he wrapped his coat, turned around and continued to whisper to Jiang Xia to whisper the entrusted things:
"That's right. I suspect Nenki didn't commit suicide, but was killed. And this matter is probably done by someone in our family.
"So I have a heartless request - if the murderer is found, please be sure not to make a statement. Just tell me only one person, and I will naturally handle the subsequent matters properly."
Speaking of this, thinking of the person who killed Nenki and stole a batch of drugs from Nenki, Takeda Nobuyi couldn't help but feel a little murderous intent in his heart.
——He usually has no outsiders. Now Nenki has been killed suddenly and the puppet has been stolen. All signs indicate that the murderer is quite familiar with his family's structure and must have had an insider.
Takeda Shinichi himself was doing some illegal activities that could not stand the investigation. This "insider" who knew some of his secrets gave him a strong sense of crisis.
He was eager to find out the man, so he took the risk of inviting a detective who was said to be very keen.
Jiang Xia's case resolution speed is very fast. Takeda just feels that what he lacks the most now is time - to catch the insider one step earlier, he can safely sell drugs earlier, otherwise he will lose a lot of money every day when he stagnates.
Of course, for Takeda, the "invitation Jiangxia to come" also contains certain risks, such as being discovered by Jiangxia that he was secretly selling drugs.
Therefore, before sending Jiang Xia a letter of entrustment, Nobuichi Takeda had seriously troubled this issue.
And in the end he concluded that it was not a big problem.
——Thinichi Takeda has seen many reports on solving cases.
He found that when detectives encounter murder and drug dealers at the same time, they will prioritize their attention on solving murder cases.
Only when the murder case is resolved will we start to resolve other incidents, especially high school detectives.
So just keep an eye on Jiang Xia - if Jiang Xia finds out the murderer and does not find the secret of his drug trafficking, then pay the final payment of the entrustment and send Jiang Xia away, and everyone will separate peacefully.
If Jiang Xia discovers or shows abnormality, Takeda Nobuichi will secretly solve Jiang Xia, a detective who knows too much, after finding out who the "insider" is.
The most invaluable thing in the wilderness is the place to hide corpses. It is very convenient to silence here.
Even if someone else knew that Jiang Xia had come to Puppet Peak and found that Jiang Xia was missing, he called the police and brought the police to come over. As long as Takeda Nobuichi killed the detective, he had left, and the police had no evidence, he could only give up. They could not turn the entire mountain over to find someone whose whereabouts were unknown.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is that Jiang Xia will come, and she even brought two classmates...
Thinking of this, Takeda Shin-shin glanced at Hattori Heiji, Toyama and Haya, and felt a little distressed.
But I soon thought about it again.
——At worst, let the "insider" take Jiang Xia and his two classmates down the mountain, and then he will make some moves in the car and cause a car accident. The four of them will pack up and go on the road. All of them will be done.
Jiang Xia's attention was originally focused on the difficult-to-catch ghost.
But as Takeda Shinichi fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually moved back to the Takeda family head in front of him.
Why did so much murderous aura suddenly appear? It's almost time to catch up with the foreign friend next to me...
He was puzzled for a while, and stood from Takeda Shinichi's perspective and thought about it, and vaguely understood.
...
After thinking about it, Takeda Nobuichi looked at Jiangxia again, waiting for Jiangxia's reply to "Don't tell him only if you find the ghost."
Jiang Xia looked at the murderous aura that was swollen from the head of Takeda's family, and his mind moved slightly.
He did not nod.
Instead, he looked at the sky with a 45° angle and said in a quiet tone:
“I refuse.
"If Mr. Nekikiri was killed, of course I would prefer to call the police first. The law is the only justice - if I tell you the situation first and you erase the evidence for that 'family', wouldn't I become your accomplice to your favoritism and abuse of power?"
After saying that, Jiang Xia couldn't help but lower his gaze toward the sky slightly, and secretly glanced at Takeda Shinichi with his eyes.
The murderous aura, which was not weak, further expanded, completely surpassing Robert next to him.
...After all, Robert only wants to kill one. Takeda wants to kill four now.
Takeda Shin-brow jumped a bit, but he still kept his smile barely, his tone even more polite than before: "...You are thinking too much, I just want to do ideological work and persuade him to surrender."
The young detective heard this, looked at him scrutinizedly, nodded meaningfully, "You'd better be."
Then he stopped talking, as if he was disdainful to talk to people like Takeda Shinichi, and walked back to the people he came with.
Takeda Nobuichi stared at the arrogant back, his temples thrust.
After glaring for a while, he remembered something and showed a gloomy sneer.
Haha, this little detective who is used to living in the city probably hasn't noticed it yet - their cell phone signal is very unstable. If you want to call the police, you have to use your home landline.
At that time, as long as you keep the phone under your control, you naturally don’t have to worry about Jiang Xia bypassing him and calling the police.
Afterwards, when the kid found out that the "insider" was found, he would immediately silence him.
Takeda Shin-know thought of Jiang Xia's look of beating just now, and secretly whispered, and went to the studio without seeing it.
Until then, he hadn't forgotten to hide the phone line at home.
...
When Jiangxia and Takeda Nobuichi were talking, although they were separated from others for a while, the careful Takeda Yoko still found that the conversation between the head of the family and Takeda seemed not very pleasant.
She knew that Takeda Shinichi had a bad temper. When she saw Jiang Xia coming over alone, she immediately guessed that Takeda Shinichi might have been anxious to investigate the case just now, and for urging her, she said something bad.
...This is not kind. The detective ran over so far, but he was even cold-eyed. This detective looked not old, so Brother Xinyi was too strict with him. Investigating the case is not something that happened overnight, it always takes some time.
Thinking of this, Takeda Yoko walked towards Jiangxia and smiled apologetically:
"I'll take you around at home. Where are you going to start? We will try our best to help."
"Hmm? Well..." Jiang Xia came back to her senses, turned her eyes slightly, and looked at the main house.
He sensed that the ghosts had rushed there now, so he pointed at the master's house: "Then go first..."
Before he finished speaking, two little girls with exactly the same appearance suddenly ran out of the side room.
The twins were running towards Takeda Yoko to find their mother.
However, halfway through the run, the two of them glanced at Robert and recognized him, and were stunned at the same time.
Afterwards, their faces, which were originally curious because they saw the guests, instantly brought a little hostility.
When Robert saw the familiar child, he walked over and said hello nostalgic:
"Hi~ Shahui, Huimei, you have grown up a lot."
The two little loli took a step back in disgust. They glared at Robert for a while, then got together, and whispered loudly:
"murderer……"
"I'm here to kill someone again."
"It's so scary"
To be continued...
