Chapter 1466 1466 [Reporter Yoko] Asking for a monthly ticket (`)

 “Well, okay.” Sugimoto Hideki also showed a hint of fear.

He lowered his head and rummaged through his backpack, took out the mobile phone inside, took a look at it, clicked on it a few times, and seemed to be checking messages.

　　Then he put the phone into his pocket: "Everything is there, nothing else is missing."

"That's good." Sato Miwako pushed a piece of paper to him, "Sign this document, and then you can go back."

Sugimoto Hideki nodded, took the paper in one hand, and went to the inner pocket of his coat to get a pen with the other hand.

However, as soon as he put his hand into the inner pocket, he paused, then put it back awkwardly, and asked the policeman opposite: "Well, do you have a pen?"

Miwako Sato was a little surprised and handed one over, "Sorry, I forgot you didn't bring a pen."

Most people carry a pocketbook with them, and naturally they also carry a pen. She thought the person in front of her was the same, but now it seems that the other person may not have the habit of using a ledger?

Hideki Sugimoto took the pen, lowered his head and signed.

 At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

 He took out his cell phone, looked at it, and put it back in again. Then he handed the signed document to Officer Sato: "Then I'll leave first?"

Memu Police Department was about to nod.

However, at this moment, a voice came from the side.

Jiang Xia glanced at his calf and said apologetically: "Maybe it's not okay yet."

 …

 The lounge on the first floor.

Okiya Subaru was still refreshing his phone with high intensity, and the small buffer circles seemed to be causing sparks due to friction.

However, no matter how hard I checked, I still didn’t receive any news from Akai Shuichi.

However, among the crew, there was constant news about the front line.

Cute pink avatar:

 [There is indeed another hidden reason behind the falling accident, there may be a murder case hidden behind it]

[Jiang Xia seems to have discovered something. He stopped the relevant person who was about to leave. The truth should be revealed soon. ]

Okiya Subaru: "..." These people in the entertainment industry are actually so active in eating melons?

There was no new message in the mailbox. Okiya Subaru was tired of browsing, so while waiting anxiously, he opened the avatar with slight curiosity and glanced at the homepage.

Then I was surprised to find that the background of the homepage was the popular idol, Kinoshita Yoko. And it is a life photo that has not been circulated on the market.

　　　…?”

Okiya Subaru continued to read down, and realized something belatedly—the reporter on the case was actually Ms. Yoko.

 …Why did she get into the crime-solving team?

Beside, other people in the crew saw the news and seemed to be interested in it. Several people went out and seemed to be planning to sneak near the crash site to watch the fun.

Okiya Subaru is certainly not among them.

He huddled in the corner of the lounge, wondering whether Kinoshita Yoko might also be one of Uzo's targets. At this time, his phone suddenly vibrated. When he lowered his eyes, he saw a new email notification popping up at the top.     “!”

—Unintentionally inserting willows and willows into the shade, when the crazy refresh just now, there was no news from Akai Shuichi. Now when I was distracted, he actually replied to the email!

Okiya Subaru quickly opened the email and saw a short instruction written on it:

  [Find a convenient place to answer the phone]

Okiya Subaru stood up and breathed a silent sigh of relief while looking for a safe and suitable place:

He was still thinking before that even if he received an email from Mr. Akai, there was no guarantee that it would be Shuichi Akai’s reply—perhaps it was Uzo’s minions who were pretending to reply to the message with a cell phone picked up from the crime scene.

 But now, with the ability to make phone calls, everything is much simpler. After all, there aren't that many people who can fake a voice and imitate Mr. Akai perfectly.

 Akai Shuichi probably took this into consideration before choosing this method of communication.

 …

Okiya Subaru quickly found the right place and sent the message.

 Not long after, the phone call came.

"I was working on a task in the suburbs just now, and the signal was very poor." Shuichi Akai knew Subaru Okiya fairly well. Combining several messages from the other party, he could guess what the graduate student was thinking, so he explained himself in advance. Reason for delay in reply.

Then he thought again: "As for whether the falling incident was aimed at you, I am more inclined to think that it was just a coincidence - I remember that according to the structure of the airport, the route from the restroom back to the lounge, and the edge of the patio where you can fall The road sections are crisscrossed. In other words, there is only one point where a person who falls can hit you.

"You walked over by yourself. According to Uzo's habit, it is impossible for the two people who are arguing upstairs to receive the command to fall directly from him. One of you is on the first floor and the other is on the fourth floor. There is almost no field of vision. Overlapping, it is almost impossible to guide the deceased to fall and at the same time have you stop right below and wait for the impact. No matter how good he is at controlling people's hearts, Uzo cannot rule out all accidents. This is a way to control killing.”

Okiya Subaru: "...So that's not an execution from Uzo, but I just happened to be unlucky today?"

 …Although from a rational point of view, this is indeed true.

 But when it comes to Uzo, is it really that simple?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Subaru felt.

However, Akai Shuichi seems to believe in his own judgment. The FBI's attention has been elsewhere: "I heard that Jiang Xia was also at the scene today. Based on previous experience, Uzuo may have come for him. I will investigate as soon as possible. The reason for Jiang Xia’s appearance at the airport, and then speculate on the actions Wu Zuo may take. As for you...you should follow the original plan, pay attention to concealment, and follow the crew in a low-key manner."

 …

 The distant countryside.

hang up the phone. Akai Shuichi pushed up the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose and looked at his phone silently.

Jiangxia and Wuzuo do overlap in many places.

Taking the worst guess, maybe Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo himself.

Akai Shuichi: "..." However, except for the occasional coincidence of positions. Regardless of what he saw in the organization as "Rye Whiskey" before, Amuro Toru's friendly attitude towards Jiang Xia now, and all other evidence and experience, all point to the completely opposite conclusion - Jiang Xia will not be the one who controls the murder. The mastermind.

Even the overlapping appearances of the two people can have reasonable explanations - for example, the information in Shuichi Akai's hands mainly came from Subaru Okiya. Therefore, as far as he knew, when Uzuo and Jiang Xia appeared at the same time, Okiya Subaru was also present. It was difficult to tell who Uzuo was coming for.

For another example, Jiang Xia is a high school detective who is keen on solving crimes, while Wu Zuo is a criminal planner who is keen on creating cases. Someone has to decipher the ingenious killing techniques Uzo devised. The number of people with sufficient IQ and good at reasoning is already very limited.
