Chapter 31 It’s a doctor’s problem. Please give me your monthly vote ()

Mao Lilan climbed onto the bridge and landed on the wall.

However, by the time he arrived at the scene, Jiang Xia had already stopped.

At this time, from Mao Lilan's perspective, Jiang Xia was standing next to the still-living murderer. He looked at the child behind the tree, his expression was quite calm, but he felt that he was not very happy.

Mao Lilan thought of the child who quickly hid behind the tree, and guessed that Jiang Xia was hurt by the naughty child's avoiding behavior.

 …Children are too much.

Mao Lilan walked to Jiang Xia and thanked the child: "Thank you for saving that child."

After a moment, he couldn't help but add: "Um... when you act bravely in the future, don't be so harsh. Just subdue them and let the law punish them."

 Jiangxia: “…”

He recalled various scenes of Mao Lilan smashing telephone poles with one punch, kicking the wall apart, and the Lushan Shenglongba making criminals spin into the sky...

 …Doesn’t your conscience hurt?

Jiang Xia turned her head and looked at Mao Lilan's angelic and soft face.

 Looked at her fist which seemed to be very delicate.

 Swallowing what he wanted to say silently, he nodded: "I know."

 …

 The other three people did not climb the bridge, but just ran down the detour.

There happens to be a police station nearby.

 When the three people arrived, the police had also arrived.

 Ogino Daddy on earth failed to receive redemption. Seeing that his plan failed, he roared unwillingly.

Dr. Ogawa hugged his son tightly and watched Ogino being escorted into the police car with mixed emotions. After he decided to settle down his son, he immediately went to the bank to transfer 25 million to Ogino, not wanting to get any more money to buy his life.

 …

 The next day, Jiang Xia went to the police station again.

 Complete notes.

By the way, let’s see if Ogino’s murderous aura has gone away.

 When you finish your work and leave the police station.

Jiang Xia looked at her watch and found that it was just after noon, so it was still early.

 There is no exam today, so there is no need to go to class.

The raw materials for ghost mint have just been planted, and new ones haven’t grown yet, so there’s no need to rush home.

 …

Jiang Xia then habitually turned to Amuro Detective Agency.

Although currently, there are not many murder cases where the head of the firm is found.

 But fame needs to be accumulated. Maybe one day, there will be a customer with murderous intentions, and the old customers who are looking for cats will come over.

And in the office, in addition to murder cases, there is a certain chance of randomly spawning Toru Amuro—the undercover agent sent by the police to organize.

 —Jiang Xia is still thinking about Dr. Fengdo’s hotpot-smelling murderous aura.

 The target of Kyosuke Futo's murder was the police after all, and Toru Amuro might have intervened.

If the police take the initiative to arrest the person, then Jiang Xia only needs to go to the police station for a walk after Dr. Fengdo is arrested, and Xiaobai can get rid of the murderous intention.

 In a legal society, especially in this world, murderous intent does not seem to be difficult to control.

 …

Jiang Xia came to the door of the office and took out the door key.

However, upon closer inspection, he found that the door was unlocked—there was someone inside.

Jiang Xia walked through the entrance hall in confusion and entered the room to take a look.

Meet Toru Amuro, a rare appearance in Amuro Detective Agency.

And he also brought a client. At this time, he was sitting opposite the client, listening attentively, as if he was ready to accept the commission.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 …There is something fishy about it.

Toru Amuro personally received him, which shows that the person opposite is likely to be a person with a story, which will lead to some cases with ghosts and murderous intentions...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia approached lightly, wanting to hear the contents of the commission.

However, Toru Amuro saw him sharply and stopped him: "Wait outside first."

“…” Jiang Xia nodded, “Okay.”

 He retreated to the outside and closed the door thoughtfully.

The doors and walls here have been soundproofed. If you close the door, you can't hear the conversation inside.

 …However, with just a little soundproofing material, you still want to stop a ghostly psychic?

 …

Jiang Xia sat on the waiting bench and summoned the ghost baby.

Xiaobai consciously climbed onto Jiang Xia's shoulder and leaned against his ear.

Jiang Xia's hearing instantly moved to the ghost.

　　After that, Xiaobai consciously rushed towards the soundproof door and went through it with a grunt.

 In Jiang Xia's ears, the sounds in the room suddenly became clear.

 …

Jiang Xia drove the ghost and eavesdropped for a while, and gradually understood the situation.

—A few days ago, the client’s home was robbed. No money or jewelry was lost, but a precious pottery was lost.

 I thought he was a tasteful thief who only stole works of art.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the client found pottery fragments that had been deliberately broken near his home.

“…” Not for money, not for art, but he also violently smashed the pottery he had just received, as if to vent his anger... This kind of unclear purpose made the client feel angry behind his back.

 He called the police, but the police could not find any results.

 Later, the client complained about this matter to a friend in a coffee shop.

The waiter passing by suggested that he try to find a detective.

So they came to the Amuro Detective Agency—the enthusiastic waiter was, of course, Toru Amuro, who "happened" to work part-time in the cafe.

 …

Jiang Xia was eavesdropping on the case while recalling the plot she had watched. She did not remember that a similar case had occurred.

There are a few pieces related to pottery, but the details are not right.

 Jiang Xia: “…” may have nothing to do with the case, but is just the organization’s task. Of course, it could also be from the police.

 …

 Not long after, Toru Amuro left the client’s contact information and sent him out.

Jiang Xia took back the ghost baby and her hearing. She got up to help Amuro Tohru see off the guests and looked for opportunities to talk to him.

After Amuro Toru saw the person off, he turned around and found that there was another person following him. He immediately remembered that Jiang Xia had asked for leave to go to the hospital yesterday. So he casually expressed his condolences: "How are you? Are you okay?"

Jiang Xia was about to speak but stopped.

Toru Amuro was startled.

 He originally just asked casually because he felt that Jiang Xia looked normal. Going to the hospital should be just a routine check-up.

 But now, why do the employees look like this...

Toru Amuro felt something was hidden and concentrated a little more: "What happened?"

 It couldn't be that a terminal illness was detected during the physical examination...

Jiang Xia shook his head: "It's nothing. It's just that the doctor who consulted... always felt that he had killed someone before."

Toru Amuro: "?"

Jiang Xia continued: “And my intuition tells me that everything is not over yet—something similar may happen again in the future.”

Toru Amuro: “…”

 He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and his eyes became sharp.

 —In short, there are currently two possibilities.

 One is that Jiang Xia is a genius at observing people's emotions: from a short conversation, he realized that the doctor was a dangerous serial killer.

 The other kind is that Jiang Xia is not as normal as he seems, but has something like persecution paranoia lurking.

　　Amburo Toru: “…” No matter which one, it deserves vigilance and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

 The former type deals with doctors. The latter method sends employees to the hospital and allows the organization to reimburse the treatment costs.

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she felt that Amuro Toru's expression was a little strange.

He cautiously took a step back and added more emphasis: "And the doctor has a gun in his bag. I won't be mistaken."

 …The gun was actually seen by Xiaobai. Ghosts have a unique advantage when it comes to searching—they can sneak into luggage and check unopened bags.

Toru Amuro: "Really..."

 Toru Amuro finally reacted to the specific message of "gun", and gradually became more inclined to "the doctor has a problem".

 In the process of psychological diagnosis and treatment, even if the doctor intends to control it, it is difficult to completely hide some of his habits and mentality.

 I heard that some people are extremely sensitive in this regard. And Jiang Xia is not an ordinary depressed patient - on the contrary, he is related to the organization and has come into contact with many murderers.

Toru Amuro: "..." In my impression, the cardiology department of Mihua Yakushino Hospital is very famous.

As far as he knows, many police officers also go there to register. As long as the doctor wanted to, it would not be difficult for him to get some information from the police, and even conversely, influence those police officers.

 Such a doctor, if there is really a problem...

　　Amburo Toru slowly realized the seriousness of the problem.

 …

However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can’t say it on your face.

 —After all, he is not a policeman now, he is the bourbon of the organization. He should be happy when the police is unlucky.

"You're thinking too much." Toru Amuro put down the rolled-up cuffs again and said as if he didn't care, "However, since that doctor makes you think like this, it means that he is not suitable for you. Next time, try another A hospital, maybe.”

Jiang Xia nodded and said nothing more.

 Speaking further, the intention is too obvious. In that case, in order to hide his identity, the undercover comrade would definitely not touch Dr. Fengdo, and Jiang Xia would have to do it himself.

 …

Toru Amuro is still very busy today, and after chatting with Jiang Xia for a few words, another task has been added to the heavy work list.

 He did not stay any longer and left quickly.

On the way, Toru Amuro sent the information about Dr. Fengdo to his subordinates and asked them to check it out.

Of course, he emphasized the need for secrecy. Even if the problem is really found, Fuudo Kyosuke himself must be "accidentally" exposed, and he must not let others know that this is a purposeful investigation.

 Otherwise, Jiang Xia on the front foot says that there is a problem with that person, and the person on the back foot will be arrested by the police... According to Jiang Xia's keenness, he is likely to find the problem.

 …

 Detective agency.

Jiang Xia was about to lock the door and leave, but at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the magazine rack in the entrance hall and was slightly startled.

 —On the shelf, there is a familiar book.

Jiang Xia walked over, took it out and looked at it, and found that it was the detective manual borrowed from the library.

 This is what he brought with him when he applied for the job.

Later, when Jiang Xia actually sneaked into the office, he forgot to take the book away.

The borrowing period of Mihua Library is relatively short, and ordinary citizens can only borrow books for 14 days.

Jiang Xia looked at the date and found that it had not yet expired. Next time I want to go to these 14 days randomly, I don’t know how long I have to wait, so why not take advantage of it and pay it back quickly...

Thinking like this, Jiang Xia looked at her watch and found that it wasn't time to get off work yet.

So I got on the motorcycle and went straight to the library.

 …

Jiang Xia drove all the way to the library.

 At this time, it was still more than half an hour before get off work.

However, when I got closer, I saw that the door was locked. It's already off work.

Jiang Xia was startled. She walked to the notice board next to the door and looked at it. She found that today was a holiday and the library closed two hours early.

　　　…”

Jiang Xia held the book in her hand and looked at the darkness inside the door, feeling a little disappointed.

 He was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Xiaobai suddenly became energetic, raised his hand and poked Jiang Xia, and muttered a report.

  —There is something in the library.

Not only does he have murderous intent, but he also seems to have a newly deceased shikigami.

Jiang Xia: "!"

 …

 This library does not have anti-theft windows installed.

Jiang Xia walked half a circle around the library and found a locked window in a remote corner of the building.

 He stopped at the window and raised his hand.

A few pieces of shikigami flew out lightly, slipped through the cracks in the window, and landed on the floor of the library, gradually condensing into white puppets like clay figures.

The puppet climbed clumsily to the window, stretched out its short hand with great effort, and clicked open the locked window.

Jiang Xia put on her gloves, opened the window with a splash, and jumped into the hall.

The moment he landed, the puppet collapsed into a paper shikigami again and disappeared into the mark on his heart.
