Chapter 583 It's Not Easy For Jiang Xia To Live Up To Now

Kidd waited for a while, but did not wait for the second half of the sentence, and Toru Amuro seemed to have no intention of continuing.

So he nodded.It is a response to the first half of the reminder.

At the same time, he murmured to himself: According to Jiang Xia's skills, it would be easy to deal with one or two abortion offenders.But when Toru Amuro heard what he said just now, his expression became very ugly...

Could it be that he was worried that Jiang Xia would take the opportunity to run away?

Jiang Xia was not allowed to go to the gas station together, perhaps because he did not want Jiang Xia to contact the staff there and pass on the news.

…the power of first impressions cannot be underestimated.

"Jiang Xia" remained calm on the face, but kept a trace of vigilance against Toru Amuro in his heart.

Kidd's control over expressions has always been in place.In addition, in this world, there are only a few people who can be easily tolerated to this extent.

So Toru Amuro never expected that when he went to buy some spare tires by himself, when he came back, the person in front of him who looked exactly like Jiang Xia had already changed the tires.

Although he felt that Jiang Xia was a little impulsive this time, judging from some rumors in the police station, Jiang Xia used to chase criminals with a stick.This kind of behavior is not out of the ordinary for him...

Toru Amuro couldn't see through the disguise immediately.

It's just like when facing Jiang Xia: "First put the spare tire on together."

"Jiang Xia" nodded, and went to find the jack in the trunk.

The moment the lid was opened, Kidd's eyes froze slightly.

In the corner of the trunk, there are some inconspicuous thread marks and interfaces, which are traces of surveillance equipment installed.

"..." This, is this a device used to check the situation and prevent hostages from suffocating or escaping when they are tied up and locked up inside?
... This boss really has a problem.

And it's a big problem!

Kidd grew more wary.He pretended he didn't find anything, found out the jack, adjusted the luggage at the same time, and put the extra spare tire in it.

……

When two people equip the tires together, the movements will inevitably be too big.

Kidd, who is very observant, keenly discovered the gun hidden on Toru Amuro's body.Suddenly, there was a feeling of "matching".

——No wonder just now, after the surprise attack on Jiang Xia, he just drew out an anesthesia gun, but Jiang Xia decisively rushed into the bushes with many obstacles when he made the action of drawing the gun.

Looking at it now, in Jiang Xia's eyes, it probably wasn't an anesthesia gun at all, but a real gun that could kill people.No wonder he is so cautious...

When the spare tire is installed and the car is seated again.

Kidd glanced at Toru Amuro who was driving from the corner of his eye, and secretly sighed for Jiang Xia in his heart.

... It's not easy to be a detective these days. You have to guard against fire and theft, and you have to guard against the boss.I heard that private detectives usually have to touch a lot of secrets. Maybe Jiang Xia accidentally broke the secrets of some important person when he was working. Looking for opportunities to meet customer requirements as naturally as possible.

Toru Amuro always takes Jiang Xia to remote places when he has nothing to do, maybe he is also secretly looking for opportunities to get off the phone.It's just that Jiang Xia has a cautious personality, strong observation skills, and has long been on guard, so Toru Amuro has never been able to succeed.

...Fortunately, now, there is a strange thief to cross the tribulation for him, so Jiang Xia no longer has to fight wits with this scumbag boss.

Kidd felt that he had done a good deed, looking at the drowsy sky outside the window, his mood improved.

……

Trying to go to Tottori on the way.

Amuro Toru glanced to the side occasionally, and found that Jiang Xia hadn't caught up on sleep, and seemed to be thinking about something with lowered eyes.

"..."Maybe thinking about the tires?

——Since Jiang Xia saw the figure in the woods, maybe he could get some key inspiration from it.Then, just like when solving the case before, quickly sort out the cause and effect, and find out the unknown creature that gnawed on the tire.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt a little hopeful in his heart.

However, before he found the scene he was looking forward to, something happened to both of them suddenly on the way.

——A dark night, a suburban road, two cars one behind the other.

Toru Amuro was about to overtake.But at this moment, through the car window, he suddenly vaguely heard a familiar "bang--" sound from the car in front.

Immediately afterwards, one side of the tire of the front car was flattened, and the car body became wobbly.Soon, the small Felt pulled over and stopped.

Toru Amuro, who stepped on the brake, said, "..."

In the wilderness, there seems to be no signal for this section of the road.There are very few vehicles here and there.

If you just leave the person in the car in front here.In the worst case, after two days, there may be reports of the tragic death of the people in the car.

... All in all, it's hard to let go.

Toru Amuro originally just instinctively slowed down to prevent hitting the car in front.

After judging the situation, he sighed inwardly, and had to stop the whole car.

At the same time, considering that the co-pilot was sitting with a member of the organization who did not know his undercover status, Toru Amuro routinely found an excuse to do something good.

He clicked his tongue impatiently, and said in a low voice: "It just happened that the tire blew out in front of us, so I can't pretend not to see it—it's okay if they die in the mountains, and if they are lucky, they can walk out alive. Finding out that the license plate number of the car behind you is the same as the car you used to solve the previous few crimes, we are afraid that we will have another reputation of 'doing nothing'."

Kidd: "..."

... For the sake of fame, he hoped that others would die. This boss is really not a good person.

Kidd speculated about Jiang Xia's possible reaction at this time, nodded silently, and made no reply.

The distance between the two cars quickly narrowed.

In an instant, Toru Amuro changed from a gloomy face to a sunny and friendly working boy.

Under "Jiang Xia"'s complicated gaze, he pulled down the car window and looked at the unlucky car with a flat tire: "Are you all okay, do you have a spare tire on the car?"

Through the headlights, I can vaguely see two people sitting in the car.

……

Amuro Toru's voice sounded a little sympathetic and friendly.

Kidd glanced at him from behind, thinking that this man's acting skills are quite good.

While muttering, the door of the front car opened, and a hunchbacked old lady pushed the door open and got down from the driver's seat.

She looked down at the broken tire, and sighed: "My baby Felt probably won't be able to walk. I finished packing my luggage and forgot to put the spare tire back..." As she spoke, she looked up at Toru Amuro , "Young man, can you give me a ride to the nearby Twilight Lodge? I have to attend a dinner party there."

"...Twilight Villa?" Toru Amuro had a vague impression of this place name, but not deeply.

However, there was one thing he knew.

——The name of this place sounds like some foreign-style mansion far away from the urban area.

And along the way, those deep mountain mansions he met...
