Chapter 1911 1911Accomplice

Jiang Xia picked up the greeting card, opened it to check, and found that this greeting card was exactly the same as the "death notice" that Officer Sato had shown them earlier, and it should have been sent by the same person.

Last time, the cute Christmas card read that "Santa with the red beard" would kill in this show.

And this time, the message on the greeting card is:

[When the 12 o'clock bell finishes

My shadow will appear in the well.

Santa Claus with a red beard]

"Water well?"

Jiang Xia walked to the window, glanced down, and saw a spacious dry well in the yardthis should be the only well nearby, and it was also the location marked in the greeting card.

The time now is more than 11:50, and it will soon be 12 o'clock as mentioned in the greeting card.

"It's late at night, it's so cold and I have to call people out." Jiang Xia looked at the snow-covered yard outside, quite dissatisfied.

But a detective, obviously shouldn't care about such trivial matters. He thought for a while, took his coat and went out.

Walking to the stairs, I happened to see that Officer Sato hadn't slept in the middle of the night, but was facing two vending machines, meditating.

Jiang Xia greeted: "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Miwako Sato came back to her senses, and pointed to the machine selling bento, "This kind of package A is selling too fast. I saw there were three or four copies before I went downstairs. I wanted to wait until I came back." I bought one to improve the taste, and now I see that it is gonethis restaurant is clearly in charge of food, who the **** buys bento so frequently."

Jiang Xia thought of the sneaky trio of temporary workers: "Maybe someone is worried that the chef will poison the food."

Officer Sato hugged the hot coffee he just bought, and laughed: "The paranoia of persecution is really increasing these years."

Paused, she saw Jiang Xia's dress and felt wrong: "Are you going out?"

Jiang Xia nodded.

Officer Sato frowned suddenly: "How dare you run around alone at a time like this? Don't forget that the script writer slipped out of the house in the middle of the night and was killed."

Jiang Xia took out the greeting card: "Someone sent me an invitation letter."

Miwako Sato looked at the familiar greeting card, and her expression changed: "'Santa Claus with a red beard'?! Such a dangerous thing, you actually want to go quietly by yourselffortunately, I saw it. You must remember to call me together.

There is only one more person in the team.

And when he walked to the lobby on the first floor, Jiang Xia suddenly felt something.

Turning his head, he saw a single sofa placed at a strange angle, and a strong man in black was sitting on the sofa, his face was as heavy as iron, and his sharp eyes scanned the people coming and going, as if everyone Everyone is a potential prisoner in his eyes.

"Mr. Inozuka?" Jiang Xia walked over, "Why are you sitting here?"

"..." Inozuka Saburo, "This drama gave me a lot of emotions, I can't sleep, I think about life here."

Jiang Xia: "..." It's quite artistic, but your expression doesn't quite match this line.

But this is not a problem, he warmly invited: "I'm going to solve the case, do you want to go together?"

Saburo Inozuka shook his head: "Goodbye, have a good journey."

Jiang Xia gave him a puzzled look, nodded, turned and left.

Behind him, Inozuka Saburo pushed his sunglasses: "..." Suddenly going out at this time, could it be that the protagonist of the stage tonight is Jiang Xia?

... Wonderful! Compared with this detective, I am definitely a piece of cake.

Saburo Inozuka felt a sense of security in his heart.

But soon he remembered something again, and glanced at the phone with complicated eyes: "..." It has been a long time since I replied to Hashimoto Maya's message, why is there still no reply?

Could it be that my two companions were also pulled to start the show?

Indeed, if you want to deal with a detective like Jiang Xia, two tools are not enough. Maybe it won't be long before a police car arrives to **** Hashimoto Maya and Kurosawa Kazuma, the two villains who murdered the detective, to the police station, and then two bullets fly far away on the way...

Thinking of this, Inozuka Saburo suddenly fell into deep thought.

At that time, the two companions will be eliminated as risk factors, so what about yourself? Will they be killed together by the way?

...He might as well run away before the police come.

... No, he has a surveillance camera above his head now, with an alibi as hard as iron! If he stays here and does not move, as long as he persists afterwards, he will not be forcibly taken away by the police. On the contrary, if you run away at this time by a mistake, or accept Jiang Xia's invitation just now and leave with him, you will encounter bad things instead!

Saburo Inozuka: "..." It's really scary. Ever since I met that thing, there have been traps every step of the way. Something as simple as "surviving" is actually so difficult.

After an extremely intense ideological struggle, and conceived a bunch of reckless or extremely cautious plans, Saburo Inozuka finally made a decision.

He slowly leaned back in the chair, intending to respond to all changes with the same.

The ghosts watched Saburo Inozuka sit upright and then collapsed, collapsed and then sat upright. Although they were quite puzzled by the behavior of this human being, since there was murderous intent, the ghosts decided to be magnanimous and leave it alone.

Jiangxia passed by Saburo Inozuka, took a few wisps of neither salty nor light boiled water, sweet and murderous, and left with satisfactionthis trip to go out to suffer from the cold was finally a little rewarding.

I didn't meet anyone else after that, Jiang Xia and Sato Miwako walked out of the hotel gate, stepped on the crunching snow, and came to the well in the courtyard.

Miwako Sato turned on the flashlight and took a photo carefully. I thought I would see a corpse or other things related to the case, but there was only a piece of snow-covered weeds inside, and there didn't seem to be much abnormality.

"Will you come to the well at zero o'clock to see his shadow? It's all over now, and there's nothing wrong with it. This guy sent you a greeting card, maybe it's just to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Miwako Sato took back the flashlight and looked at him suspiciously. All around, "Take you away and run amok in the hotel?"

"Probably not." Jiang Xia rolled up his collar, "It's so close, there's really something wrong, I ran back within two minutes."

"That's right..." Miwako Sato was at a loss, "So 'Santa Claus with a red beard' is simply late?"

At this moment, Jiang Xia's cell phone rang suddenly. Caller ID is an unknown call.

Jiang Xia picked it up. He usually exchanged contact information with people from all walks of life. The pile of business cards he sent out was probably higher than that of Conan.

Therefore, the more unknown the call, the faster he answered it: "Hello, I am Jiang Xia. If you have an entrustment, you can come to the door directly, or leave a message to the mailbox of Amuro Detective Agency. found."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and a few seconds later, a voice changed by the voice changer came.

The caller tried his best to bring the off-track atmosphere back on track with a terrifying and distorted shrill smile: "I've been waiting for a long time, detective."
