Chapter 435 Jiang Xia should be a good bodyguard (Monthly ticket plus more)

Jiang Xia's eyes paused on the registration book, and he wanted to call to ask Miss Shibata when she would be free so as to set a new time to pick up the cat.

But before he could touch the receiver, the phone rang and someone else dialed the number first.

Jiang Xia paused slightly on the receiver, looked at the string of numbers on the caller ID, compared it with his memory, and recognized that this was the "Shibata Kayo" who had stood his call.

He picked up the phone.

A slightly tense female voice came from the other side, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement in the nervousness.

Shibata Kayo spoke quickly: "I'm sorry, I had something urgent to do yesterday and couldn't go on time. Um... are you free this afternoon? I would like to trouble you to help send the cat to my house. Also, there are some things I want to show you..."

“……?” Is there something you want to show him?

Jiang Xia savored the nervous voice from the other side and intuitively felt that perhaps something had happened.

If something happens, it means there might be murderous intent or a shikigami...

Jiang Xia quickly reviewed the afternoon's schedule.

Then I found out there was no arrangement.

So he agreed decisively: "I'm free all afternoon and evening, when is convenient for you?"

"Great, I'm relieved that you can come." Shibata Kayo was obviously relieved, "Then, see you at 2:10. I'll send the address to your email right away."

"good."

After the other party hung up the phone, Jiang Xia put down the receiver and carefully searched for the person "Shibata Kayo" in the spoiler library in his mind.

However, no case was found about her.

However, detective work is considered a service industry after all, and when guests come here to register, no one will ask them to show their ID. When filling out forms, their name, address, age, etc., everything is up to their own conscience.

Based on Jiang Xia's unintentional observation, he found that there were indeed some wives who would leave false names when filling out the registration form.

——People here mostly take their husband’s surname after marriage, so some wives like to use their old surnames when they come to him, perhaps because it makes them feel young again. Some even change their names, perhaps to create a playful atmosphere for themselves.

...In short, although the search was unsuccessful, he had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway.

If you go there on time to take a look, you will know the specific situation.

…

After Masuo Kayo hung up the phone call to Jiang Xia, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She is in her late twenties, has no children, and lives with her husband who is in his fifties.

Now, her husband, Kei Masuo, had left early in the morning, leaving Kayo Masuo alone in peace.

She put away her phone and sat back in her chair.

Then he opened the photo album on the desk and looked at one of the photos.

——This is a group photo. In addition to her husband, Kei Masuo, there are about ten other people, some of whom look familiar, and some of whom look very unfamiliar.

Masuo Kayo frowned and looked for a while, then reached out and picked up the pen next to him, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he circled a few of the people.

Her husband is the manager of the Beihu branch of Dongdu Bank.

Three days ago, when Masuo Kayo was going to the bank, she happened to encounter a robbery. The robber took her hostage, and when she resisted angrily, she accidentally pulled the robber's hood crooked and saw a little of the robber's face.

At that time, Kayo Masuo felt that the robber looked familiar.

After she came back, she gradually formed an impression - these seemed to be some of her husband's friends.

Combined with her husband's previous abnormal behavior, Kayo Masuo excitedly realized that this was most likely a robbery planned by her husband himself - the store manager was stealing from the store, no wonder the robbers were able to get away with 200 million yen so easily.

After discovering this situation, Masuo Kayo was actually a little conflicted at first.

After all, once the robbery was exposed, the newly acquired stolen money would be taken away and she would not be able to squander it.

But now, Kayo Masuo has spent quite a while as a wealthy person and is not so eager for money at the moment.

Moreover, she thought that she was not even thirty yet, and it would be boring to face an ugly husband in his fifties every day. Moreover, as far as Masuo Kayo knew, the family actually had a considerable amount of savings, and after her husband was imprisoned, she would be able to get a lot in the divorce.

In the end, after much consideration, Masuo Kayo decided to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice and send her husband to jail.

After making the decision, Masuo Kayo remained calm and continued his life as usual.

However, he had secretly made an appointment with the police to go to the Metropolitan Police Department this afternoon to explain the situation, taking the photo album with the suspicious persons.

In addition, she was worried that her husband, the mastermind of the robbery, would become suspicious of her and have someone keep an eye on her nearby. If that were the case, she might not be safe on her way to the Metropolitan Police Department to report the crime.

So Masuo Kayo thought hard for a while, and couldn't help but think of the young detective who called her not long ago and told her to go pick up the cat.

——Jiang Xia, a ready-made bodyguard.

As a housewife who doesn't work much, Masuo Kayo's connections are usually tied to her husband. She is really worried that if she finds a bodyguard herself, the "bodyguard" she finds will turn out to be a murderer.

...So I might as well go find that righteous high school detective.

At least Jiang Xia has a correct stance and will not go along with her husband.

As for his strength... Jiang Xia doesn't look like a muscular man who can fight well, but he is a young man after all. If anything happens, he will definitely be more reliable than her alone.

Besides, Jiang Xia only needed to accompany her to the car. After that, they could drive to the Metropolitan Police Department. Her car had been modified and was very safe, so they would definitely be able to reach the police station smoothly.

In addition to considering safety, Masuo Kayo actually had other considerations in mind.

——On the way to the police station with Jiang Xia, the two of them will be on guard against possible dangerous robbers... That kind of heart-pounding environment will definitely promote emotional exchanges.

After all, there wasn't much age difference between her and Jiang Xia... at least less than between her and her husband. In the best case scenario, she could get both the divorce and the engagement done in one trip.

As Masuo Kayo thought about it, she blushed a little and paced back and forth in the room.

After turning around twice, she still couldn't calm down.

So I simply walked to the fitness equipment in the corner of the room and planned to ride the exercise bike for a while.

——For the sake of health and to maintain her figure, Zeng Wei Jiadai pays great attention to exercise and starts exercising at this time. Now she has formed a stable and healthy biological clock.

…

The other side.

Metropolitan Police Department, Investigation Division 1.

Conan was yawning in boredom as he prepared to take a statement with the naughty kids from the Junior Detective Team - this morning, they encountered a bag snatching case.

When I entered the Metropolitan Police Department, the office of the First Investigation Division was empty.

It is said that in the Touto Bank robbery three days ago, the branch manager's wife and Inspector Megure's wife were taken hostage by the robbers, so the police officers were very enthusiastic in handling the case and had no time to stay in the office and slack off.
