Chapter 23 The Phantom Thief

In the infirmary of the Armed Detective Agency.

"feelling better?"

Hill handed Jiang Shui Xiayue a cup of warm water, and sat on the chair beside the bed.

"My brother..."

"Dr. Xie Ye has already gone to save people. You have seen the woman with the chainsaw."

Jiang Shui Xiayue couldn't help but smile when she thought of her, "She's a doctor, I really can't tell."

Obviously, she has a crush on Dr. Yosano who rushed up to give the man a chainsaw when he was most helpless. Hill smiled and asked, "She's cool, isn't she?"

Jiang Shui Xiayue nodded with a smile, and then thought of the blood, her face changed, "She killed that person? Will she..."

"You should know that it's easy for an armed detective agency to beat a man to death and keep him alive."

Hill didn't mention the ability, Jiang Shui Xiayue was still in panic at this moment, and didn't raise any doubts.

"Really relieved." She said sincerely.

"Who says no?" Hill said. "Time is running out, and maybe you'd like to talk about his violence."

Jiang Shui Xiayue's expression stiffened, and she said unnaturally, "Didn't I say it at the press conference? He beat me for some trivial things. It took a long time, and I couldn't take it anymore..."

"I want to know the details..."

"Details, details! Why does everyone have to know the details? You were just hired by me to protect me!" She suddenly broke down emotionally, holding her head, "The police asked me to say it again, the lawyer asked me to say it again, and the detective wanted me to say it again Once again, memories are too painful, do you understand?"

The sound was loud, and it spread out of the infirmary and into the office area.

"What happened?" Nakajima Atsushi looked over there curiously.

Kunikida Doppo clacked and typed, while explaining, "It is the client of the protection commission, and she is in a lawsuit with her ex-boyfriend who abused her domestically."

Atsushi Nakajima: "The detective agency... still accepts this kind of commission?" It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for the client, but isn't the case of domestic violence and the group of supernatural powers a bit at odds?Wouldn't it be more appropriate to leave it to an ordinary detective agency?

"You also know that recently there was a protection commission from an Osaka official. The killers sent by the other party may even have supernatural powers. The failure of the mission will endanger the reputation of the detective agency. Sympathy should be prioritized." Kunikida finished organizing the documents, with a headache Rubbing between his eyebrows.

Although there were some complaints, it was not to the extent of dissatisfaction. After all, the detective agency was a bunch of guys doing their own thing, and Kunikida Doppo was used to it.

And it is to practice justice, which is also Kunikida's ideal thing.

Atsushi Nakajima smiled and said, "It's also difficult for Kenji-kun and Tanizaki-kun to fail, right? Maybe it's because they're both girls?"

At this time, the door was pushed open.

At the door stood a delicate woman with white hair and brown eyes.

"Excuse me, I made an appointment yesterday..."

"Himuro-san, right? Please come and sit down." Kunikida Doppo responded promptly and invited her into the reception room.

The clerk served the tea politely.

"I am very grateful to you for helping me. This is the entrustment fee." Bingshi coldly handed over an envelope with both hands.

Kunikida Doppo took over and said, "It is what we should do to solve the client's difficulties. You are welcome."

"Besides, may I see Miss Holmes?"

"She's next door, it might be a bit inconvenient..."

"I'll go and wait."

Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi looked at each other, and the latter said, "I'll take you there."

"It's work."

……

Jiang Shui Xiayue vented her suppressed emotions.

Hill watched her quietly, she suddenly felt ashamed, what was she doing?Lose your temper with your benefactor?

"I'm sorry, really, I shouldn't, I shouldn't..." She began to speak incoherently.

"You don't need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong? It's a normal reaction to have your scar exposed."

The tolerance shown by Hill made Jiang Shui Xiayue even more ashamed, and she patiently listened to what she had to say next.

"Ms. Jiang Shui, I heard that there is an excellent hacker in Pinggong. You only have a medical report when you sue him. Threat|threatening emails and harassing text messages were all deleted by that hacker."

"Yes."

"He can tell you by text message that your brother is in his hands, threaten you to go out, and destroy the evidence afterwards. Have you ever thought about why he came to take you away in person?"

"..."

"He has an amazing desire to control you. I guess our football star's physical fitness has seriously declined. There are people in the team who are enough to threaten his status. He should retire honorably in a year at most. Perhaps, he is still infected. He was addicted to drugs, and what stimulated him the most was that his career was only a few years old, but you quickly established a position in the industry as a voice actor, which made him feel anxious and angry, and he began to belittle you crazily and elevate yourself, Everywhere."

At this moment, the surprise overwhelmed the anger of being seen through, Jiang Shui Xiayue raised her head in surprise, "You, how do you know?"

Hill smiled, as if knowing everything, "A healthy person will not torture others."

"Since you know everything, why do you ask me for details?" She asked with a wry smile.

"It's not that I want to know, it's the media that needs to know that even the mainstream media needs certain interests to drive them to act. They are not philanthropists, and what they want is not the result of a domestic violence. That kind of thing happens all the time in the world. It is not new to them at all, a story with complete details that can infect others and arouse discussion is worthy of reporting," Hill said, "I guess it was your lawyer's idea to hold a press conference. "

She hesitated for a moment, and chose to tell the whole story: "Lawyer Concubine sympathizes with me very much. At that time, no one in the entire legal profession was willing to take my case. Only she was not afraid of the power of Ping Gong. Complaining, but the lights, the questions from the reporters... I just can't stand it."

Hill looked at her fragile appearance, and said in a calm voice, "The time for you to apply for entrustment is the end of the trial."

"Yes, I can't let him interfere in my life anymore, I must teach him a lesson."

"In this case, if you lose the case, he will retaliate. If you win the case, he will retaliate. It is impossible for us to personally protect you for the rest of your life. If you cannot face the past, it is even more impossible to usher in the future."

Jiang Shui Xiayue was silent.

Hill said again, "You know what? At first, our detective agency didn't intend to accept your commission."

Jiang Shui Xiayue's eyes widened, "Why?"

"The matter between you is between two people. No one's life is in danger, let alone the threat of supernatural powers, and it will not cause major harm to Yokohama. Wouldn't it be good to entrust it to any detective?"

Anyone who hears that the misfortune that happened to them is understated will be angry, and Jiang Shui Xiayue is the same, but she is sad and can't refute it, because Yokohama's safety is more important than the threat of supernatural powers, but she just wants to pursue her ex-boyfriend She is indeed a little less responsible.

Hill continued, "I used to work in the Behavioral Analysis Unit. There was a man pestering his ex-girlfriend. The lady was so disturbed that she called the Atlanta police for help. The police couldn't do anything, and then..."

"What happened next?" she asked.

"Later, the lady was doused with sulfuric acid, and she couldn't accept it and committed suicide."

Jiang Shui Xiayue gasped.

"In the next few years, women who wore honey pomelo-colored lipstick and liked to wear sleeveless silk tops were killed one after another. The perpetrator was the man who looked for the shadow of his ex-girlfriend on the victim. Once it went against his imagination , he just killed them and went to the next target. This vicious serial murder case was handed over to the Behavior Analysis Section and solved within a week, but it was meaningless, and many people's lives were ruined."

"Ms. Jiang Shui, your ex-boyfriend is obviously mentally abnormal and beyond the controllable range. I don't want to see your dead body when I accept your case. Compared with solving the case, stopping the crime from happening is what I should do."

The window was clear and clean, and the sun was shining brightly on her body. It was not warm enough to make people want to get close, but a kind of awe-inspiring that could wash away all filth.

"You..." She subconsciously used honorifics, "You are a detective with a strong sense of justice."

Hill was noncommittal.

Her original intention is to protect the tranquility of Yokohama, and violence, no matter how big or small, is within the scope.

Before Jiang Shui Xiayue was about to talk about the past, she asked uneasily for the last time, "Will things develop as we hoped?"

Hill said, "When I was learning to play chess, my teacher taught me not to just think about the next move, but to know the next three or even five moves."

She didn't make any guarantees, let alone give Jiang Shui Xiayue words of comfort, but Jiang Shui Xiayue's heart was inexplicably reassured, allowing her to calmly talk about her past in the Peace Palace Gaozhi.

The two people at the door were touched, and Himuro said coldly, "It seems that Miss Holmes has no time to see me. I will come back another day."

Atsushi Nakajima smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for neglecting you."

"No, it just so happens that I haven't fully done what I'm supposed to do," Himuro shook his head coldly, with a strange light shining in his warm brown eyes, "When I really become a person who can control my own life, I will be able to do it in a dignified way." Stand before her."

……

It told a long story. After crying and tired, the client was resting in the infirmary. Hill got a call from lawyer Fei Yingli and briefly talked about the situation of the case. The other party was willing to make an appointment with her Chat face to face.

Hill hung up the phone and looked out the window. The little white pigeon was still there. She smiled and attacked the little pigeon with telepathy. The last thing she said before crushing the monitor was...

"It should be good to drink soup after stewing."

someone "???"

After finishing all these tasks, Dr. Xie Ye came back with the client's younger brother. The younger brother was beaten so badly that he had an emergency treatment with Dr. Xie Ye.

Hill deduced the location, and came back from a fight with Dr. Xie Ye alone, covered in blood, but looked very satisfied.

"I dissected a lot of scum and found an interesting thing. Guess what it is?"

"Their blood and their hearts are actually red," Hill said.

Hearing the answer he wanted, Dr. Xie Ye hooked her around the neck and said kindly, "It's easy to talk to you, how about it? Go have a drink after get off work?"

"I really don't like drinking."

"It's not for you to drink strong wine, fruit wine, it's delicious."

"I'm willing to try, but not today. I have an appointment with lawyer Fei tonight."

"Can I go?"

"Welcome to every like-minded person."

"Shall we go shopping on the day off?"

"I wish I wasn't the one with the bag."

In the evening, the dinner with lawyer Concubine was very pleasant.Fei Yingli, who has won many battles since she was a lawyer, has never been defeated. The three of them met each other and hit it off immediately, and they all admired each other.

After the case was settled, they chatted for a long time before they left. On the way back, Hill received a call from the laundromat, who asked if she was at home and if the laundry could be delivered to her door.

Hill gave an affirmative answer, and the doorbell rang shortly after arriving home.

She went to open the door.

At the door was a laundry worker with an ordinary face. When he saw her, he showed a polite smile and handed her a large paper bag, "Your clothes have been washed. If you are satisfied, give her a five-star praise."

Hill took a deep look at him and agreed.

Turning around and going back to the house, it didn't matter if the pigeon was gone, she took out the clothes and hung them in the closet, and something fell out of the bag.

A golden rose, a piece of paper.

Hill squatted down, picked up the flowers with one hand, and picked up the paper with a faint floral fragrance in the other.

It says

This white dress is very suitable for you, pure white and gold, as if it was born for you.

Enter Phantom Thief Kid, who occasionally works part-time as a laundry worker.

There is also a q-version portrait of Kaitou Kidd drawn below.

Hill "..."

Boyish guy.

Is there anything special going on in his upcoming The Art of Stealing?So special that you have to observe her?

Hill's eyes were deep, looking at the distant moonlight.
