Chapter 20232023【Rum, what's wrong with you? 】

Murakawa Yasuyuki noticed someone behind him and looked back.

Seeing Jiang Xia looking at the cylindrical iron cabin, he remembered that this was the guest the person in charge said he wanted to receive.

So Murakawa Yasuyuki smiled, raised his hand and patted the top of the iron cabin, and introduced: "The top is the huge fish tank in the performance hall. This iron cabin is connected to the shell in the middle of the fish tank. When the mermaid comes on stage, she will first Enter this iron cabin from the lounge, then close the cabin door and start filling with water."

Hashimoto Maya's eyes twitched, and she didn't know what she thought of. She stared at the iron cabin with a complicated expression.

Seeing his expression, Murakawa Yasuyuki quickly explained: "It may sound scary, but in fact this equipment is very safe. The water will stop filling when 80% is filled, and the 'mermaids' can breathe the air at the top before the shell opens. —Besides, look at this."

He gestured to the bottom of the iron cabin, where two extremely eye-catching buttons, one red and one blue, were embedded in the wall.

"Once the red button is pressed, the water filling operation will stop immediately, and pressing the blue button will cause the water in the cabin to be drained quickly—the authority here is higher than that in the control room. As long as the mermaid feels that her condition is not good, Okay, you can stop the performance and leave the iron cabin at any time."

Jiang Xia nodded: "Since you have been in business for so many years, your professionalism and safety are certainly guaranteed. I just haven't seen this kind of equipment, so I took a second look out of curiosity."

As he spoke, he looked at Maya Hashimoto next to him.

Obviously aware of Maya Hashimoto's weird expression just now, Jiang Xia raised his hand and patted the shoulder of this double brother, and explained to Yasuyuki Murakawa: "My colleague has experienced a lot recently and has a strong sense of crisis. This is just him. My instinctive reaction was to have no intention of questioning your safety facilities."

Hashimoto Maya nodded quickly and quickly followed Jiang Xia and left here.

When he went out, he glanced at Jiang Xia and remembered the sentence "I have been through a lot of things recently", and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

 …Is it possible that Jiang Xia noticed something?

Being undercover next to an observant detective is not a human job.

Maya Hashimoto sighed and could only try to maintain his image as an ordinary assistant, praying that Jiang Xia would not come to him even if he found out the clues.

 …

 The performance is almost about to begin.

Jiang Xia quickly met up with several companions, and they came to the performance hall together.

"Why are there so many people?" Tatsuma Seimaru looked at the crowded venue and felt uncomfortable, "Why didn't Miss Osawa arrange VIP seats for us?"

Jiang Xia: "The stools here all look the same, and tickets are not sold according to location. You can sit wherever you want after you come in. There should be no such thing as VIP."

Tatsumi Seimaru: "Huh, there's no difference at all. It seems like this aquarium is just like that." The famous detective chose a crappy place, it was really perfunctory.

　　While the two people were talking, Curaçao walked quietly beside them and carefully chose an inconspicuous place to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, someone sat down next to me.

Jiang Xia looked at the stage: "This is a good position. You really know how to choose it."

  Curaçao: “…” Go away!

Hashimoto Maya: "..." The cunning Uzo actually teamed up with other cadres to use a honey trap.

Xunzhengwan: "..." This should obviously be my position!

He originally wanted Jiang Xia to give up his seat, but with so many people around, it would be too ugly to fight for a position for just a woman - he didn't want to be a licking dog, someone else should be licking him.

Seeing the depressed expression on his face, Mrs. Xun sighed: "Don't disturb other guests, sit down quickly." Xun Zhengwan said aggrievedly: "...Okay."

 The group quickly sat down.

Not long after, the lights in the entire performance hall went out and suddenly became dark. Only a beam of light fell from the middle and hit the huge water tank with a diameter of more than ten meters.

This cylindrical water tank was originally exquisitely decorated, but now it is so carefully polished, and its magnificence suddenly goes up a few steps, like a corner of a dragon palace.

　　The guests who were still talking in low voices suddenly fell silent and looked over expectantly.

Music sounded, and soon, the shell in the center of the bottom of the pool opened. A large pool of bubbles surged upwards, and among these wonderful bubbles, the "Mermaid" lifted the lid and appeared in front of the audience wearing a loose ancient Greek-style skirt.

—This seems to be the merman colleague who was disliked by Michiko Osawa. She used to have a messy short hair, but now she wears a waist-length wig, and her whole temperament suddenly becomes much softer.

The mermaid was swimming in the pool, and the bright-colored fish in the fish tank were attracted to her, and lined up to follow her, like dragging a long tail.

Mrs. Xun looked at this scene and was a little surprised: "These fish are actually so obedient."

 She happened to be sitting on the other side of Jiangxia.

There were only five of them in total. After Jiangxia sat down, Tatsuma Seimaru didn't want to be next to him. Hashimoto Maya, who was supposed to be Jiangxia's assistant, also grumbled and didn't want to get closer for some reason. Mrs. Tatsumi then sat down by herself - it was closer to Jiangxia. safer.

When Jiang Xia heard what she said, he remembered that this lady was now his client, so he showed a little professionalism and said casually: "The 'Mermaid' is holding a small bag in her hand. There should be a scent or bait to attract fish - Some fish have good memories and will actively follow people after rehearsing a few times. These fish should be old employees."

Mrs. Xun: “…”

 Suddenly not so romantic.

Next time, sit farther away from the detective.

The first mermaid appeared swimming in the "sea" for a few minutes. Perhaps the time limit for holding her breath was up, and she swam back to the huge shell.

 As her figure became still, countless small fish gathered in front of her, like a beautiful light curtain. At the last moment, the "mermaid" waved the fish away, bringing an end to this gorgeous performance.

 The audience cheered.

In order to pretend to be an ordinary citizen, Curacao clapped his hands listlessly: To be fair, this performance is indeed good. But the person sitting next to her made her nervous and she had no time to appreciate it.

  Curacao’s heart rate is faster than usual, and it always feels like something will happen here in the next moment, and then a **** stage and performance will forcefully appear on the stage, unreasonably covering up the beautiful performance currently going on.

However, there was no movement on Uzo's side for the time being. Curacao's cell phone placed against his leg vibrated first.

She was startled, took out her phone and took a look, and found that it was Rum who was looking for her.

Curacao’s eyes twitched fiercely: “…” The situation is already chaotic enough, why are you meddling in it again!

 …But after all, he is his immediate boss and cannot be ignored.

Curaçao took a deep breath: Thinking optimistically, maybe Rum has other urgent tasks to call her, and plans to remove her from this Uzo-filled mission.
