Chapter 11211129 [Jiang Xia Assassination Plan]
Unfortunately, however, Okiya Subaru failed to meet the expectations of his boss.
He was thinking about something else.
Subaru Okiya forced a smile: "It may not be the same one. Maybe cats of this color just like to visit... Um, why do you call it Xiao Hei?"
——If I remember correctly, "Kuro" was the name that Usa gave to the cat, and Maori Ran actually knew it.
Subaru Okiya: “…” Could it be that Usa’s current identity in society actually intersects with these high school students, so Usa used his unscrupulous acting skills to deceive innocent students and became their friend?
However, the situation seemed different from what Subaru Okiya had imagined.
When Mao Lilan heard this question, she did not answer, "Because this is my friend's cat, he said his cat is called this name."
She just smiled sheepishly and said, "Because except for its four paws, it's all black, so it's called Xiao Hei... Although it's not good to name a cat without permission, it often visits other people's homes, and several of my classmates have seen it. I don't know if the name is convenient, so everyone just called it Xiao Hei."
Subaru Okiya: “……?” This cat actually visits other people’s homes!
Although I had heard from Wu Zuo that Xiao Hei was free-range, I didn't expect that he was free-range to this extent. Okiya Subaru had thought that the cat liked to come to his house, perhaps because he was Wu Zuo's subordinate, and this was the only benefit of following Wu Zuo, but who knew that it would be...
…
Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
——Thinking carefully, maybe Wu Zuo didn't just have one cat, but a litter of cats with the same fur color, and let them visit each house every day to collect intelligence. Then he kept one cat specifically to contact his subordinates... Thinking of this, it seems a little better.
However, there is something more urgent than this.
Subaru Okiya: “…” What on earth was Usa Neko doing when he took him out today and came to this cafe?
…
Subaru Okiya recalled the bloody warning he had received two hours ago and how he was almost taken away by the police as a suspect, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia next to him and calmed down: Fortunately, detectives are born to be nemesis of criminals. With Jiang Xia by his side, at least he doesn't have to worry about being framed and taken away.
But let’s try to put ourselves in Uzo’s perspective…
Okiya Subaru suddenly realized something.
——Could it be that Wu Zuo could not have anticipated his simple response of "clinging to Jiang Xia's thigh"? ?
Subaru Okiya: "..." A few hours ago, he had just listed Jiang Xia as his life-saving thigh. Immediately afterwards, Usa's cat came to the door and brought him to this cafe to "encounter" Jiang Xia.
Such a coincidence made Okiya Subaru's heart skip a beat.
...What does Uzo want to do?
After years of rich film-watching experience, Subaru Okiya could not help but imagine a natural scene in his mind:
The protagonist, who has suffered persecution, struggles to survive under the siege of the terrible big boss. When he is at his wits' end, he suddenly meets a good man who looks very righteous and is willing to lend him a helping hand.
So what happens next?
According to Subaru Okiya's experience, there is only a 10% chance that "the good guys and the protagonist will join forces to defeat the big boss."
And the remaining 90% is that the seemingly reliable good guy is suddenly killed in front of him, the boss sneers behind the scenes, and then everything slides further into the abyss of despair.
…
"Brother Okiya, what's wrong?" A voice suddenly floated over, "You look very unhappy."
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses and found that it was Conan who spoke. Across the table, Jiang Xia was also looking at him with his chin propped up.
Mao Lilan was studying the menu and only looked up when she heard Conan's words. She looked at Okiya Subaru carefully, but she really didn't find that this graduate student looked uneasy... She didn't know if Conan was too perceptive or if this kid was just talking nonsense. So she also looked at Okiya Subaru, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Okiya Subaru sighed inwardly: Children are really sensitive.
However, what he was thinking was obviously difficult to express in words.
So Okiya Subaru followed Conan's question and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that a woman was killed just now."
"!!" Behind the bar, Katsumura Eiji's hands trembled. He thought of the body of the proprietress that he had hidden in the store, and he almost blurted out "I didn't kill her!"
Fortunately, before he opened his mouth, Conan nodded in sudden realization:
"I heard from Brother Jiang Xia and Sister Xiaolan that it was your neighbor. My condolences."
Okiya Subaru nodded absentmindedly.
“……” Katsumura Eiji breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been beating up his throat, sank again: It’s okay, it’s okay.
...Come to think of it, can't these people finish their words in one go? They always have to gasp for breath...Riddler, get out of the store now!
He wanted so badly to kick these guests out.
But in order to hide his crime, Katsumura Eiji could only endure the humiliation and put on a business smile.
He picked up the tray and walked over to the annoying table of guests: "Your drinks are here."
Then a glass of juice was placed in front of Conan, and a cup of coffee was placed in front of Jiang Xia and Mao Li Ran respectively.
When he took his hand back, Katsumura Eiji relied on the fact that he was standing at the table, in a high position, and no one could see his expression, so he couldn't help but sneer:
When he made coffee just now, he poured in countless times more coffee powder than normal. These students would find it unpalatable after the first sip, and then run to find another shop to kill time - there is another coffee shop not far north along the intersection.
…
After delivering the coffee, Katsumura Eiji left with the tray.
He was expecting his script to work, and he didn't notice that behind him, two pairs of glasses flashed a reflection.
Conan and Okiya Subaru stared at his back from behind their lenses. One of them seemed to be thinking about something, while the other one, who was thinking of something, looked at the coffee in front of Jiang Xia, his pupils trembling slightly.
Jiang Xia also glanced at Katsumura Eiji and sighed in his heart.
——Perhaps because there were too many of them, the "store manager" didn't even think of "poisoning and killing all of them!"... It's disappointing.
While thinking, Jiang Xia reached out and touched the cup.
The coffee was not hot but warm - the "store manager" seemed not to want them to stay too long and had specially adjusted the coffee to a temperature that could be drunk directly.
"..." Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment as he had nothing to do. He reached out for the coffee cup, intending to try the legendary super bitter coffee that was only for tough guys to see how bitter it was.
But before it touched, there was a sudden crisp clanging sound next to it.
——Okiya Subaru accidentally knocked over the cup, and a handful of water just happened to splash in front of Jiang Xia and spill into the cup.
