Jiang Xia was distracted, and he heard everything he needed to hear.
At present, it seems that the situation of the Takeda family is the same as he remembered.
——A total of three people died. Misa and her daughter were said to have committed suicide, and the partner named Negishi said he had committed suicide, but judging from the shikigami on Rob's leg, he was killed by Rob.
Moreover, the shikigami was still on Rob's lap, so the ghost fetus could not have been dropped by Negishi. It should have been one of the mother and daughter.
But theoretically speaking, a person who commits suicide cannot even lose a shikigami, let alone a ghost fetus. At most, he will leave behind a mass of murderous aura. Unless... either Misa or her mother did not commit suicide?
...is the smell of secrets.
After Jiang Xia came to this conclusion, he was not surprised. He remembered that the relationship between the family was quite confusing - Misa Takeda was ostensibly the daughter of Takeda Shinichi, but in fact Takeda Shinichi was unable to have children. So more than 20 years ago,
Takeda Shinichi's wife went to the Takeda family's second eldest son to give birth to Misa with her and raise her as Takeda Shinichi's biological daughter.
Later, Takeda Shinichi found out about this.
Takeda Shinichi, a drug dealer, has already broken the legal bottom line. Even if he tolerated it when he saw the truth, if he suddenly burst out emotionally one day later, or got drunk and couldn't think about it... in this wilderness
, it’s not surprising to manually make people around you “suicide”.
Many speculations flashed through Jiang Xia's mind in an instant, and she quickly put her thoughts to rest.
Now, he is not even sure whether the wild ghost fetus is the Takeda mother and daughter. Maybe it is other people who died nearby... There are too many possibilities, and it is useless to think about it. It is better to catch the ghost directly.
Ask.
Of course, this is mainly to save time and has nothing to do with him wanting to see new ghosts as soon as possible...
Speaking of which, my ghosts have been floating out for several minutes, so why are they still running around?
Is the ghost so difficult to catch this time?
After thinking about it, Jiang Xia glanced in the direction where he sensed it.
The ghosts were obscured by the houses, and he had no see-through function, so unfortunately he couldn't 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 beard and a bald U-shaped hairline on his head.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Jiang Xia, indicating his identity as a client: "Hello, I am Takeda Shinichi who is sending you a letter."
With that said, Takeda Shinichi glanced at the people gathered in the yard, pulled Jiang Xia aside, and said in a low voice:
"You must have heard what Yoko said just now - in fact, what I want you to investigate is the matter of Mr. Negishi who 'hanged himself' a few days ago."
Jiang Xia nodded. At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but pause for a moment on Takeda Shinichi's dangerous hairline and stacked forehead wrinkles. He felt a little relieved - fortunately, the ghost was not the target of silence.
No, you can't say that. If a second ghost can really fall here, he doesn't mind. After all, it doesn't look good and there are bad ways to use it...
As Takeda Shinichi was talking, he suddenly felt a chill down his back, and had a vague illusion that he was being stared at by some eyes hidden in the darkness.
He looked back at the trees that were blown by the mountain wind, and thought it must be the cause of the wind. So he wrapped his coat, turned around, and continued to whisper to Jiang Xia about the entrustment:
"That's right. I suspect that Negishi didn't commit suicide, but was killed by someone. And this thing was probably done by someone in our family.
"So I have a merciless request - if you find the murderer, please don't make it public. Just tell me one person, and I will naturally handle the rest of the matter properly."
Speaking of this, thinking of the person who killed Negishi and stole a batch of drugs from Negishi, Takeda Shinichi couldn't help but feel a little murderous intention in his heart.
——He usually has no outsiders here, but now Negishi was suddenly killed and his puppet was stolen. Various signs indicate that the murderer has a good understanding of the structure of his family, and there must be an insider.
Takeda Shinichi himself was doing some illegal activities and could not withstand investigation. And this "ghost" who knew some of his secrets gave him a strong sense of crisis.
He was eager to find out this person, so he took the risk and invited a detective who was said to be very keen.
Jiang Xia's speed in solving the case is very fast. But Takeda just feels that what he lacks most now is time - the earlier he catches the mole, the earlier he can safely sell drugs. Otherwise, every day of stagnation, he will lose a lot of money like water.
A sum of money.
Of course, for Takeda, the matter of "inviting Jiang Xia over" also involves certain risks, such as Jiang Xia discovering that he is secretly selling drugs.
Therefore, before sending a letter of entrustment to Jiang Xia, Takeda Shinichi had seriously struggled with this issue.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that it was not a big problem.
——Shinichi Takeda has read many reports on solving crimes.
He found that when detectives encountered a murder case and a drug dealer at the same time, they would first focus on solving the murder case.
After the murder case is solved, he will start to solve other incidents, especially the high school detective.
So just keep an eye on Jiang Xia - if Jiang Xia finds the murderer but doesn't discover the secret of his drug trafficking, then pay the balance of the commission, send Jiang Xia away, and everyone can separate peacefully.
And if Jiang Xia discovers it or behaves abnormally, then Takeda Shinichi will find out who the "ghost" is and secretly eliminate Jiang Xia, a detective who knows too much.
The most indispensable thing in the wilderness is a place to hide corpses. It is very convenient to silence someone here.
Even if other people knew that Jiang Xia had come to Puppet Peak and found that Jiang Xia was missing, they called the police and brought the police here. If Takeda Shinichi killed the detective and left, the police had no evidence and had no choice but to give up - they could not do it for
Find a person whose whereabouts are unknown and turn over the entire mountain.
The only troublesome thing is that Jiang Xia came as soon as he came, and he even brought two classmates with him...
Thinking of this, Takeda Nobu glanced at the pair of gifts from Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, and felt a little confused.
But I soon thought about it again.
——The worst case scenario is that the "ghost" will send Jiang Xia and his two classmates down the mountain, and then he will do some tricks in the car and cause a car accident. The four of them will pack up and hit the road, and it will be over.
Jiang Xia's attention was originally focused on the ghost fetus that was difficult to catch.
But as Takeda Shinichi fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually moved back to the head of the Takeda family in front of him.
Why is there so much murderous intent suddenly appearing? It’s almost catching up with the foreign friend next to me...
He was confused for a while, then thought about it from Takeda Shinichi's perspective, and vaguely understood.
…
After Takeda Shinichi finished thinking, he looked at Jiang Xia again, waiting for Jiang Xia's reply to "Don't say anything when you find the mole, just tell him to one person."
Jiang Xia looked at the swollen murderous aura on the head of the Takeda family, and his thoughts changed slightly.
He didn't nod.
Instead, he looked at the sky at a 45° angle and said indifferently:
"I reject.
"If Mr. Negishi was killed, of course I would give priority to calling the police. The law is the only justice - if I tell you the situation first and you erase the evidence for that 'family member', wouldn't I
I have become your accomplice in bending the law for personal gain."
After saying that, Jiang Xia couldn't help lowering her gaze slightly to the sky, and secretly glanced at Takeda Shinichi with her peripheral vision.
I saw that the already strong murderous aura further expanded, completely surpassing Rob next to him.
...After all, Rob only wants to kill one. And Takeda now wants to kill four.
A vein in Takeda Shinichi's forehead twitched, but he still managed to maintain a smile, and his tone was even more polite than before: "...You are overthinking. I just want to do some ideological work and persuade him to surrender."
Hearing this, the young detective looked at him carefully, nodded meaningfully and said, "You'd better be."
Then he stopped talking, seemed to disdain talking to people like Takeda Shinichi, and walked back to the people who came with him.
Takeda Shinichi stared at this arrogant figure, his temples twitching.
After staring for a while, he remembered something and gave a sinister sneer.
Oh, this little detective who is used to living in the city probably hasn't noticed yet - their mobile phone signal here is very unstable. If you want to call the police, you have to use your home landline.
When the time comes, as long as you keep an eye on the phone, you don't have to worry about Jiang Xia bypassing him and calling the police.
After that, when this kid finds out the "ghost", he will be silenced immediately.
Takeda Shinichi thought of Jiang Xia's desperate look just now, secretly took a sip, and went to the studio without seeing anything.
Before that, he didn't forget to hide the phone line at home.
…
When Jiang Xia and Takeda Shinichi were talking, although they were separated from others by a certain distance, Takeda Yoko, who was attentive, still found that the conversation between the head of the family and Jiang Xia did not seem to be pleasant.
She knew that Takeda Shinichi actually had a bad temper. When she saw Jiang Xia walking over silently, she immediately guessed that Takeda Shinichi might have been anxious to investigate the case just now and said something unpleasant to urge him.
...This is not kind. A detective came so far away and was given the cold shoulder. This detective looks young, so Brother Xin is too harsh on him. Investigating a case is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it must take some time.
To be continued...
