Chapter 149 39: Sparks (4k)
"So? Because I am from a flower shop, I am highly suspicious, right?"
Chiba Kikueda placed her hands flat on her legs , there was no panic in his eyes.
"I didn't mean to say that, I just wanted to ask you to identify what kind of flower this is." Takashima actually took out a petal. Shirai noticed that it looked familiar. It must be Takashima who didn't know what it was. I picked it from the vase of the Ueda family.
Qianye picked up the clip of a tea set, picked it up and smelled it.
"White tulips, only one petal, I can't tell them apart, Lanka White, Antarctica, Winter Love. There are too many. I'm just selling flowers, not breeding."
Put down the petals, the leaves are faint road.
“According to the Ueda family, you gave them flowers yesterday?”
“Yes, they were also white tulips.”
“Why did you take the initiative to give them flowers? Give them flowers?”
"Don't you know what I've been through? We're just in sympathy with each other, but it's not surprising that you can't understand." Qianye said in a neutral tone.
Takashima did not express any dissatisfaction. Rather, this was the normal way she used to work and handle cases. That is, after becoming extraordinary, everyone around her became good people, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Now I need you to reach out and put it on the table." Takashima did not say the reason.
Chiba hesitated for a moment and slowly put his hand on it. There was a conspicuous bandage on his right arm.
"The injury on your arm is not healed yet?" Takashima asked casually. The data showed that there was a scar on Chiba's arm, but it had nothing to do with the case.
"Pain can make me more awake." Chiba gently stroked the bandage on his hand.
Takashima looked at Shirai. Although the latter was a little confused as to why Takashima didn't explain, he still understood her hint, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Chiba's wrist.
When the white light lit up, Qianye was slightly startled, but within two seconds, his expression immediately changed drastically.
Pop!
She retracted her hand as if it had been burned, and even slapped Shirai's hand. However, this did not hurt Shirai, who had a rigid body, at all. Instead, it made her a little worried about Chiba. state.
Just now, she seemed to see a pool of hopeless stagnant water.
There is a rotten smell in the pond, without a single ripple.
And Chiba is one of the fishes, waiting for its own decay or the drying up of the pond.
"Miss Chiba." Shirai stretched out his hand and wanted to say something.
"Get out." Chiba pressed his right hand tightly on his chest and stared at the table dully.
"Miss Chiba, I can feel your pain. Maybe, I can try-"
"Get out! I don't need your pity!! I don't need your light!!"< br>
Chiba Kikue suddenly broke out, smashed her hands on the table, and yelled at Shirai at the top of her lungs, her red eyes showing complete anger.
Shirai was startled, stunned and speechless.
Takashima has seen many such scenes. Hysteria is nothing to her, but in this current state, there is no need to continue talking.
"Since Mrs. Chiba is not feeling well, let's come here today. Also, Miura Tsugami is not dead yet. With his family's assets, maybe he can continue like this." Takashima patted Shirai next to him. shoulder, said this sentence.
Staring coldly at the two people who left, Chiba continued to sit blankly for a long time before standing up with support on the table, holding on to the wall, and walked back to the room with empty steps.
The husband’s magic tablet stands there.
Qianye knelt down in front of him. After a moment of silence, he slowly took off the bandage, and a scabbed linear scar appeared in front of his eyes.
She rubbed the blood scab, and a healed scar had formed.
Opening the drawer and taking out a sharp awl, she pressed it on the scar with an expressionless face, exerted force, and drew it across——
Blood dripped out again, and the pain restored her eyesight.
"I have not forgotten and will not forget. Since justice will not come, then let sin take them away"
She raised her arm and let the blood slide down to the god card. flower pot on the soil.
“Self-harm habit?”
On the way back, Shirai listened to Takashima telling some more information about Chiba, and gained some understanding of what she had just done.
“Don’t take it too seriously. Not everyone can, or wants to, come out of the past. Some people prefer to stay in the past. If you force her to come out, she may lose her faith in life. "Takashima talked about his own experience to prevent Shirai from thinking too much.
Shirai felt a little depressed: "So, the most suspicious person is Miss Chiba?"
"It seems so far, yes." Takashima did not deny Shirai's view, " But remember, only the moment when there is sufficient evidence to prove it is 100%."
Shirai nodded, silently thinking about the several "suspects" he saw today, and suddenly realized that it seemed that he was so unlucky. , it seems that it is not so painful to recall.
Don't compare misfortunes, there will always be people who are more unfortunate.
Happiness comes from contrast, and misfortune can set off happiness.
Shirai has heard of both of these statements, and now it seems that they are both correct.
This world is really unfair.
She closed her eyes tiredly. She fell asleep unconsciously after spending a lot of money today.
Upon seeing this, Takashima reduced his speed and slowly drove to the hotel he had booked.
As for Shirai, she does not recommend that she be exposed to the Special Bureau's cases so soon.
But Yushi Noguchi has a different view. He believes that the Special Affairs Bureau is in urgent need of replenishing its combat power. Moreover, Kyoko Shirai has a rare healing ability. The Holy Infant Club has no intention of absorbing her, so she was quickly recruited. Good opportunity.
Otherwise, America, various plutocrats, and careerists will definitely not let go of such a wild extraordinary person who seems to have little combat power but possesses high-value abilities.
Even if it is tied up and used as a medical kit, it is still profitable. The only risk is not knowing the attitude of the Holy Infant Society and the growth of this extraordinary possibility.
Therefore, based on the idea that it is better to benefit yourself than to benefit others, Yushi Noguchi contacted her as soon as he learned about it and gave her some time to think about it.
In the end, the best result was achieved. Shirai agreed to join. Only Hirosue Yoshimiya from the Holy Infant Club came to see her twice in a car from a distance, and did not express any objection to the actions of the Special Affairs Bureau. Opinion.
The sooner she is exposed to the case, the faster she can integrate into the Special Affairs Bureau, and she will have a deeper understanding of her conduct and ability.
Although Takashima still didn't want to see such a young girl exposed to the dark side of society so quickly, he also understood Noguchi Yushi's urgency.
So this time she led the team and was also responsible for the evaluation of Shirai Kyoko.
Now it seems that she is a very good girl.
At least it’s better than Toyokawa Shangqing.
"Oh, I was not lazy last night. I stayed at the door of the ward all night and went in every half an hour to take a look. He still looked like he was dying. I was so sleepy."
< br>The next day, Toyokawa complained to Takashima and Shirai who came to see the situation.
"Is anyone coming to visit?" Takashima ignored his complaint.
"Yes, a batch came last night with a bunch of fruit baskets and flowers. As you ordered, the flowers were all lost and the fruit baskets were given to doctors and nurses." Toyokawa pointed to his feet, where there was only one fruit basket left. , "This has just been delivered, and I haven't had time to give it to them yet."
Toyokawa suddenly lowered his voice: "Sister Takashima, do you suspect someone will put poison in it and let the doctors try it? "Isn't this good?" Takashima grabbed his ear skillfully and said, "Toyokawa, you have worked hard. To compensate you, I will give you this fruit basket."
< br>
Shirai watched them getting along and smiled secretly.
Miura Tsugami is now in a coma. If he poisoned the fruit basket, he would probably not be able to wake up even if the fruit rotted. Moreover, the suspicion was too obvious.
She thought that Takashima must be suspicious of the flowers. After all, it was mentioned that the enchantress might be able to control plants.
"Where are his family members?" Takashima let go of his hand and glanced at the ward. There was no one else in it.
"He came and left again. Maybe he was busy preparing to divide the family property." Toyokawa rubbed his ears. He didn't just sit here and play with his mobile phone yesterday. He got to know a lot with the captain of the local action team. Think of it as listening to a story.
Listening to the Osaka ethics story, the record of the grievances of a wealthy family, and the nine sons' inheritance, it was more fun than the mobile phone, and it was already dawn before I knew it.
While they were talking, two more people came to visit.
"Chief Takashima, this man is Yuuki Hisako, and he is also the leader of the Yuuki-gumi, a relatively large gang in Osaka. Next to him is his wife, Yuuki Maria."
Operations in Osaka The team captain whispered basic information about these two people to Takashima in advance.
They are also standard with one hand of flowers and one hand of fruit basket.
When they saw Takashima and Toyokawa, they were both stunned, obviously recognizing them.
Maria Yuki is a little curious, while Hisako Yuuki is more worried.
He also knew before that there was a suspected unknown supernatural being attacking gangs in Osaka, but that was not confirmed after all. But now that the Special Affairs Bureau has sent two supernatural beings from Tokyo in one go, there is no doubt that it is probably true. , he was a little worried about his own safety.
"Chief Takeuchi, I didn't expect to see you here. By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you on your promotion."
Hiding his thoughts, Yuki Kuken smiled without a smile. Say hello to the captain of Osaka's Special Branch Elite Operations Team.
Takeuchi has dealt with these people a lot, and he was not polite at all: "You can leave after putting your things on the ground. You can't go in to visit yet."
Hisuke Yuki doesn't do it either. Embarrassed, his eyes flickered between Takashima and Toyokawa, but he just smiled, nodded slightly and bowed instead of greeting.
As an extraordinary person, he must be tired of other people's attempts to approach them, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with this method of recognizing them but keeping a distance.
It can’t be that these two extraordinary people are the kind of people who love vanity.
Putting down the things, Yuki looked through the window at Miura Tsugami, who was lying quietly inside. The state of being no different from death made Yuuki Hisako feel depressed, and he was afraid that he would do the same. In this state, it would be better to just die.
"Haven't everyone already thought of a lot of solutions? It will be fine." Mrs. Yuki comforted her in a low voice.
Yuki Hisako nodded absently, and left without staying any longer.
Takashima also wants to go to the crime scene. Previously, he only looked at the recorded information, but this time he needs to go to the scene to observe it in person.
“This is where Miura Tsugami set out directly from home. A man came to the park for no apparent reason. We immediately surrounded the park, but unfortunately it was too late.”
“At that time. , he fell under this tree, and we also did a drilling test on this tree, which is an ordinary cedar tree."
Takashima nodded and looked around the tree carefully.
There are not many clues, and some have been taken away or marked by colleagues.
With his back to the cedar tree, Takashima said to the colleague responsible for protecting the scene: "Cut it."
"Huh?" The man suspected that he heard wrongly.
"You heard me right, cut down this tree." Takashima pointed to the tree behind him.
"Uh, okay, I'll go find the chainsaw right now." He knew the identity of the person in front of him, and he would definitely not make fun of himself. He nodded and was ready to do it.
"Wait." Takashima interrupted.
"Do you have any other instructions?" He turned around in confusion.
“Let’s burn instead of chopping.”
“Yes.”
Wow!
A thick vine suddenly struck towards Takashima's back.
"Be careful!" Shirai, who was afraid of damaging the scene with his clumsy hands, shouted anxiously from a distance.
Pop!
Pushing his colleague away, Takashima turned around and caught the arm-thick vine as if he was prepared.
"Sure enough, I can understand."
Takashima smiled, and after saying that, he grabbed the vine with his left hand and slashed it with the knife in his right hand. There was a click sound, and the vine broke.
The broken vines were strangely leaking red juice, and they were twitching as if they were feeling pain.
Among the trees, more vine tentacles came out, changing into thorns on the way.
Takashima used his hand as a knife to cut off the vines one by one, walked up to the tree trunk, and punched the tree a few times. The tree fell directly, but the vines continued to grow from the stump that was less than half a person tall. Reach out.
While dodging, Takashima tied several thorn vines together and twisted them into twists. She shouted and pulled hard like a tug of war!
She tore out half of the tree's stump and roots.
Its roots were a strange deep black color and were still squirming, like black earthworms clustered together.
Takashima's expression remained unchanged as he pulled out thorns one by one.
Every time it breaks, the strange tree will tremble as if in severe pain.
"Gasoline! Gasoline is here!"
Several colleagues came over carrying gasoline.
Some people were arranged to clear a fire isolation zone, cut down the surrounding trees, and use fire extinguishers to spread a large amount of dry powder.
Taking the gasoline, Takashima jumped onto half of the tree trunk and poured it down directly.
At this time, the strange tree already looked like it was dying. The few resistances it made were suppressed by Takashima, and there was no more strength left.
Jumping from the strange tree, several colleagues threw the fire starter in a tacit understanding.
Feng Long shouted.
The fire ignited the strange tree, and a plume of black smoke rose into the sky.
In the fierce flames, the roots of the tree began to twitch violently, twisting and growing upwards, and slowly rolled into a strong tree as tall as a person.
At the top of the small tree, a huge bud slowly grows and blooms.
The petals are bright blood red, and the shape is like...
"Carnation" Shirai murmured.
A magical fiery red carnation blooms and withers in the burning.
Until it curled up and twisted into a ball of charred black, there was no more movement.
The flame was hot, but it could not drive away the deep cold in the hearts of those present.
