Chapter 176: The other side made the first move
While driving, Amuro also kept looking around, but he was mainly looking for surveillance and didn't look closely at the house.
There were few cars on the road, and when he suddenly heard Shiraishi say this, he lowered his speed and glanced in the rearview mirror: "What's the problem?" ”
"The vibe is wrong." Shiraishi replied in a serious tone, "It doesn't feel good. ”
"......" Amuro thinks that Matsuda should be enrolled in a course of "Nature and Science".
However, thinking about the time when he planted a bomb with him before, Matsuda Kuroha also used a similar "feeling" to help them avoid a pond fish disaster, and Toru Amuro finally stopped the car.
Intuition is not inexplicable by science, and it is possible that Matsuda did observe some abnormalities just now, but the brain was not clearly aware of it, so it can only be summarized as "feeling......
The two parked the car not far from the detached house, made appropriate camouflage, avoided surveillance, and came to the detached house with a small courtyard of more than ten square meters and a "Xishan" nameplate.
They first looked at the windows, but the curtains were closed, so they couldn't see the room clearly.
Amuro pondered for a moment, and asked Shiraishi to go around the back of the house, ready to block people at any time, and he himself pressed the doorbell.
After waiting for more than two minutes, no one opened the door, and no one escaped through the window.
Many of the courtyard doors of the detached houses are furnished, and the height is so high that even children can easily climb over.
Amuro sent a message to inform Shiraishi of the situation, and then the two entered the courtyard and came to the door.
Firmly pressing back into Shiraishi's hand to hand over the miniature bomb, Amuro took the lock-picking tool from his pocket.
But these tools didn't work - before he pry the door, he tentatively twisted the doorknob, and the door was unlocked.
During the day, when the owner is at home, many people really don't lock their doors.
But they had already rang the doorbell just now, and no one answered. If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the house slept too dead during a nap...... Maybe Matsuda is really right, something is wrong here?
Amuro's expression became serious, and he leaned over to look at the door lock, and found that there were several fresh scratches on it, hidden on the side, and it was difficult to see without looking closely.
"This door was broken open not long ago." Amuro straightened up, leaned against the door and listened to the movement, "Be careful when you go in." ”
There was no ambush behind the door, and the two quickly searched left and right, separately.
Shiraishi stepped into the hallway, pushed open the study door on the left-hand side, and looked inside.
The room was neat, with a computer desk in front of the window with a heavy desktop computer.
At this time, a middle-aged man was lying down in front of the computer, his back did not rise and fall, Shiraishi lightly walked around his side, looked down, and then poked through the gloves that came from Amuro, and the person was indeed dead.
At the corpse's hand, a plate of translucent sashimi was placed.
Shiraishi glanced at it, then quickly looked up at the computer screen, which was the interface of the "Magic Lovers Alliance" forum.
In the window below to be sent, two lines of bright red text stand out:
This is the first one
- Shadow Mage
This message, coupled with the "grandfather" and "granddaughter" mentioned in the mission just now, Shiraishi probably understood which case this was.
He glanced at the upper right corner of the forum, and the owner's user ID was "Escape King".
Removing the corpse's hand, picking up the mouse, and taking a cursory look at the forum, Shiraishi found that this was indeed a niche community for magicians to communicate.
Most of the people who hang out here are amateurs of magic.
But in fact, there are also big guys' trumpets in it. Shiraishi flipped through the chat history in the forum and gradually remembered more things.
A year ago, the famous magician Kazuden Harui, who was good at escaping, stopped performing magic because he was getting older and his physical strength was not as good as before.
After retiring, when he borrowed his granddaughter's account "Ikasama Boy" to browse the forum, he found that many people said that they wanted to see his performance again.
Harui Kazuden hadn't played magic for a long time, and he had itchy hands, plus he didn't want to go against the expectations of fans, so after a few days of entanglement, he finally started an escape show for the last time.
Before leaving for the performance, the old man left on the computer:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I succeeded! Pleasantly surprised
- Ikasama Boy Harai Wind Legend"
Such a flag is intended to be sent with one click after the performance is successful.
But unfortunately, this time, the old man did not get off the stage alive.
When his granddaughter Takahisae Tanaka was sorting out his relics, she accidentally saw the chat history on the forum, and then she understood why Harui Kazeden suddenly made a comeback.
Although she was very sad, reason told her that she could not anger these netizens.
But continue to scroll down the page, and after seeing the forum chat record on the night of the old man's death, the yin and yang weird speeches of a certain two IDs made Tanaka Takakue's sadness and anger all have a vent point-
[Escape King: He himself wants to die on the stage (laughs)]
[Vanishing Pani: The old man dies in icy water...... (laughs)]
Laugh?
…… I make you laugh!!
In the original book, Takahisae Tanaka first found the "escape king" who served as the chairman of the forum, that is, the one lying next to Shiraishi, and then killed him.
Later, she used the identity of the "Ikasama Boy" to go to the offline meeting of the League of Magic Lovers, where she killed the "Vanishing Pani".
Now, the Escape King is actually dead, but the mission has not failed.
This makes Shiraishi a little confused, unless...... The person was not killed by Takakue Tanaka, but after she came in, she found that the person was dead, so she used the code name of "Shadow Mage" to leave a message on the computer and picked up a leak?
In this world, it doesn't seem difficult for a man with a bit of beauty, some property, and a bit of poison in his mouth, and at the same time to provoke several women who want to kill him.
No, it should be said that it is very simple......
After going through the chat logs and thinking about the next plan of action, Shiraishi left the computer, intending to tell Amuro that there was a corpse here and let him watch and deal with it.
Unexpectedly, he opened the door and just took a step out, when someone next to him suddenly punched him, and the fist was sharp.
Shiraishi was startled, and subconsciously raised his hand to block, his reaction was quite fast, and the punch of the sneak attack was smashing into his palm, shocking him to take a step back.
Immediately after, a line of blood light floated in front of his eyes.
The blood, of course, is not whitestone's.
Toru Amuro stopped his pursuit, clutching the hand that had hit Shiraishi just now, blood dripping from his fingers.
He was silent for a moment, and said indescribably: "You actually ......" hiding a blade in your hand when fighting?!
"......" Shiraishi took another half step back and pulled away. His hanging hand tucked slightly behind him, and the steel claws that were clenched together into a knife quickly and silently retracted into the cuffs.
This is the hook that comes with the wire skill, and the sharpness can be adjusted at ordinary times, after all, it is produced by the system, it will not be broken, and the hardness is very guaranteed.
Shiraishi often uses a steel hook as a knife. was attacked just now, and he was thrown out subconsciously.
At this time, looking at the empty bag at Amuro's feet, Shiraishi probably knew why he was hiding outside the door and attacking.
But in any case, he is also defending himself and will never take any losses.
Looking down at the amount of bleeding, he felt that it was not fatal, so Shiraishi took the first step and looked at the other side in confusion and condemnation: "? ”
"......" Amuro pulled the gauze out of his pocket and pressed the cut open, then he took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "I found this bag in the bedroom." ”
He kicked the uniquely shaped black backpack next to his feet.
This is the one on the back of the woman who killed Calvados in the surveillance.
Amuro Toru explained simply:
"I searched around just now, but I never met you, and in the end there was only this one room left.
"I remember when you first entered the house, you entered this room, and you thought something was wrong, so you planned to squat for a while......"
Amuro attacked when he heard footsteps approaching.
This kind of sneak attack is like whack-a-mole, trying to subdue the other party at the moment when the "unknown person" pokes his head out, so he is very accurate.
He remembered that Matsuda's father used to be a professional boxer, and Matsuda Jinpei's boxing was also very strong.
By analogy, the same man from the Matsuda family, Matsuda Kuroye's boxing level should not be bad - if he makes a mistake in judgment, it is indeed Matsuda Kuroye who is passive and slacking off, and those who practice boxing are solid, and they will retract their strength appropriately, and it will be okay to hit it.
But Amuro never expected that judging from Matsuda Kuroha's block just now, he was not good at boxing, and the number of roads was very unique and very ...... Insidious?
Why is this happening?
Is it because the father loves his younger son more and can't bear to train ruthlessly?
Fortunately, after recognizing the person, I retracted my strength in time, otherwise today's hand ......
Shiraishi watched Amuro bow his head and wrap the bandage silently, a little weak and a little lucky, he remembered that Amuro's combat power level was not low, if this punch really hit, in case he hit him back to his body, it would be troublesome, even if there was a smoke bomb to cover it, he would be regarded as a weirdo who "suddenly performed magic in front of his colleagues".
He looked down at the blood on the ground, pulled out a bottle of unbranded hemostatic and handed it to Amuro, and then tried to find some more bleach.
But after thinking about it, this kind of thing, the logistics of the organization should be able to handle it, and it is far more professional than him, so I gave up again.
Shiraishi pointed to the room, "I found something inside, maybe it will help us in our search." ”
