Chapter 1107 1115 [Warning from Uzo]

“…”

There was a "thump" sound of someone kneeling down.

…

Sure enough, there was a sealed bag of the right size in the pocket of Sakurako Yamamoto's windbreaker.

The material of the sealed bag is very easy to be imprinted with fingerprints. Even without waiting for special extraction, the naked eye can distinguish the location of the fingerprints on it by shining it against the light - when the deceased's mobile phone is put in, it just corresponds to the keys pressed when dialing, and there is even a little blood stain on the seal that was not noticed in the rush.

"It's all Naoko's fault!"

Yamamoto Sakurako knelt on the ground and covered her face:

"When we graduated from university, the best students were given the opportunity to study abroad and to intern at a well-known company in the industry. This opportunity fell into Naoko's hands, which is why she has achieved what she has today.

"But actually, that should have been mine! It was Naoko who shamelessly flattered Professor Yamada, and the professor gave her the spot. If it wasn't for the drunken old man Yamada letting it slip at the class reunion a few years ago, I would still be kept in the dark!"

Jiang Xia: “…”

...No wonder, in addition to the fresh Naoko Shikigami, there is also an old Shikigami that looks like it has been peeled off for a while on Sakurako Yamamoto's leg.

And now, with the case solved, the two shikigami fell off and were skillfully packed up and carried back to Jiang Xia by the ghosts.

…

Izumi Kaori was not a top student in college and her ambition was not that strong.

She had never paid attention to the opportunity to study abroad, and she never expected that there was such a story behind the opportunity.

Izumi Kayo recalled the news of Professor Yamada's death not long ago, and seemed to suddenly realize something. She looked at Yamamoto Sakurako in disbelief:

"But even if that's the case, why would you sacrifice your life for two scumbags? You're going to quit your job and start your own studio. You're no worse than Naoko who's developing overseas..."

"Haha, you actually believed it - something like 'resigning voluntarily for better development'... that was all a lie to you." The light in Yamamoto Sakurako's eyes had faded.

She lowered her head and looked at her hands. Suddenly, a cloud of gloom covered her pretty face.

"I no longer have a job. A while ago, I just chatted with the headhunters, and my asshole boss used the excuse that I had two minds and was not honest with the company, and put me on the layoff list without hesitation - I won't accept this! Why should I end up like this? If it was me who went overseas to develop... It's Naoko's fault, it's all her fault!!"

…

Yamamoto Sakurako was obviously on the verge of collapse. She was unable to say more and was quickly taken away by the police.

Subaru Okiya looked at her back, her unwilling roar echoing in his mind, and a cold sweat silently slid down his back.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

To be honest, at the beginning, Okiya Subaru still had a little bit of luck in his mind, thinking, "Maybe it has nothing to do with Usa, it's just that Jiang Xia came to this neighborhood and caused the murder."

At this point, he no longer dared to pin his hopes on this.

——Listen to what Yamamoto Sakurako just yelled. What about "resigning to fly solo", "developing overseas", "suspecting of having two minds", "layoff list"...

He would never believe that there was no Uzo's manipulation here.

Okiya Subaru: “…” There is no doubt that this is Usa’s warning.

——Uzo manipulated a poor woman, causing her to waste all her future prospects without knowing anything and use her young life as a disposable mouthpiece.

...How sad.

Okiya Subaru felt some sympathy for Yamamoto Sakurako, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

At this time, Jiang Xia's voice came from the side:

"Mr. Okiya?"

Subaru Okiya came to his senses, raised his head, and saw that Jiang Xia and Mao Li Ran had come to his side at some point.

Jiang Xia looked at him, and there seemed to be a hint of warm concern in his tone: "Are you okay? You don't look well."

"Nothing." Okiya Subaru sighed and quickly suppressed his complicated thoughts, "It's just that something like this happened to a neighbor I know, so I can't help but feel a little emotional."

"Indeed. It's really sad when something happens to someone you know." Mao Lilan nodded in sympathy: although her family and close friends are still alive, some of her ordinary friends were unfortunately killed, or unfortunately went astray and became murderers.

She felt that she understood Okiya Subaru's troubles very well.

But even though she understood, Mao Lilan didn't know how to persuade him - she couldn't just say "You'll get used to not having acquaintances anymore." Hiss, this was simply not human language, and it couldn't even be considered a useful suggestion, because from her own experience, even if she had seen many such things, she would still be sad when new acquaintances disappeared.

Mao Lilan didn't know where to start to comfort her, so she had to change the subject.

She has always been cheerful and outgoing. At this moment, facing Okiya Subaru, who is not a stranger to her, although she knows that Mr. Okiya is occasionally suspicious, it is difficult for her to turn a blind eye.

Mao Lilan then invited: "Would you like to go out and relax with us? Today, we are hosting two friends from Osaka. If you are free, you can play together."

As you play, you will forget about the unhappy things.

Of course, there is a small chance that you might run into other cases while traveling, which would make your already bad mood even worse...but you shouldn't be that unlucky.

Mao Lilan thought to herself uncertainly.

…

"Thank you. But I don't think I have time—I haven't finished the paper I want to submit."

Okiya Subaru rejected her reflexively.

After all, in his opinion, at this moment, Usa was still hiding in some corner, observing from the dark. Okiya Subaru didn't want to completely involve the two innocent high school students in a possible "sniper attack on the street".

Therefore, even though I follow Jiang Xia and rub against his detective aura, I feel safe.

But Okiya Subaru could only politely say: "Let's get together again next time if we have a chance."

As I spoke, I thought to myself: Oh, by the way, I must remember to add Jiang Xia to the “one-click dialing” and “one-click email sending” lists later.

If I encounter a similar situation again, I might be able to ask Jiang Xia to come and help solve the case, to prevent myself from being taken away as the murderer for no reason, and to increase my chances of survival.

…

The two enthusiastic and friendly young men comforted Subaru Okiya for a few words, took a statement from the police, and left quickly.

Okiya Subaru really wanted to stay with the police for a while longer, but he was afraid that he would be too enthusiastic and be invited to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement... In the end, he had no choice but to say nothing, keep a low profile, and return to his apartment next door.

After everything around him quieted down, Subaru Okiya checked his mailbox.

Seeing that Wu Zuo had not sent any new messages, his mood suddenly became a little complicated, sometimes sad and sometimes happy.
