Chapter 1141 1149 [Double-standard Uzo cat]
Okiya Subaru: "..." Even if Jiang Xia has a habit of "feeling uncomfortable if he doesn't hit someone". Assuming that it is true as he thinks, Jiang Xia is a cadre who can stand on equal footing with Wu Zuo... If he wants to beat people for fun, the organization can easily pick out a lot of people for him to beat, so why take such a risk and have a picnic outside.
...Maybe I'm overthinking it. Jiang Xia doesn't beat people for fun, but because he really hates those prisoners?
For a moment, it seemed as if two little people were fighting in Okiya Subaru's mind: one said that Jiang Xia was just a detective with a very unique personality; the other said that Jiang Xia was suspicious, very suspicious, and in short, there was something wrong with him.
"..." Speaking of which, Subaru Okiya suddenly thought: When Mr. Akai mentioned Jiang Xia before, his tone seemed a little strange. Maybe he knew some inside information?
When I get back, I can try to ask...
…
In any case, the possibility that "Jiang Xia is indeed a good person" made Okiya Subaru a little more relaxed than before.
So in my mind, the villain who advocated that "Jiangxia is not a big problem" gained a slight upper hand again.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Thinking carefully, he climbed up to the attic to eavesdrop just now because he received instructions from Usa Cat. If Jiang Xia and Usa were really partners, Usa would not have to trick him like this.
...In comparison, it seems more like Wu Zuo discovered that "his younger brother wanted to cling to Jiang Xia's thigh", so he deliberately let his younger brother see Jiang Xia's other side to sow discord.
Okiya Subaru: “…” In short, before we have more basic materials, we should not speculate on this.
He silently lowered his presence and followed Mao Lilan towards Ito Misari's house.
…
The two went up to the attic and found the scene inside was quite harmonious.
The handcuffs of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha had been pried open. The two men shook their wrists and came in front of Kusukawa Taro to check on his condition.
Jiang Xia found a piece of rope from somewhere, and together with Conan, he tied up the three unconscious criminals.
"It went really smoothly. I didn't expect to escape so easily." Hattori Heiji checked Taro Kusukawa's vital signs and found that he was relatively stable, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a moment, he looked at Jiang Xia with a hint of curiosity: "Come to think of it, how did you find out that there was something wrong with Ito Misari?"
Conan also pricked up his ears silently: when he first visited the "Ito" family, he could see the entrance from his position, so he noticed the messy footprints on the ground.
But Jiang Xia couldn't see it from his angle... Why did Jiang Xia feel that there was something wrong with Ito Misari, so much so that he decisively gave up investigating the more suspicious abandoned building and turned back?
Jiang Xia looked around and took out a dark cloud snow cat from behind the sundries.
Then, in the trembling eyes of Subaru Okiya, he reached out and rubbed a small black bug from the cat's neck:
"I'm not really sure, but after the cat sneaked into the house, I vaguely heard some strange conversations."
As he spoke, he pulled out an earphone from his pocket and shook it towards everyone, indicating that he had listened to the live broadcast before: this earphone was very small and not noticeable when hung on the ear. Conan had seen it once and thought that Jiang Xia was listening to the news - the news often broadcast some strange cases, and Conan himself often listened to it and did not think much about it.
At this time, Conan discovered the real use of the headphones. He was a little surprised. He squatted down and touched the cat's head, thinking: "Xiao Hei actually has this wonderful use..."
Okiya Subaru's fingers trembled: How dare these people use Usa's cat as a tool cat?! Mr. Akai doesn't even dare to install a bug on a cat. Of course, it's not that he doesn't dare, he just thinks it's inappropriate...
Mao Lilan noticed his surprise and turned to look at him. She thought that this graduate student was surprised at the intelligence of the Cloud Snow Cat, so she smiled:
"Hei is very smart and enthusiastic. Once I forgot to bring an eraser to an exam, and he fetched me a new one from somewhere. Because he was so cute, the teacher didn't even bother to chase him out when he was walking around the classroom..."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
He stared down at the cat on the ground, and for a moment he doubted whether it was the cat he knew. Why was there such a huge difference in attitude towards the high school student and towards him?
However, after recalling this, Subaru Okiya suddenly remembered: when he first met Kuro and didn't know it was Usa's cat, the cat seemed quite friendly.
It was only later...
Okiya Subaru was in extremely complicated mood.
At the same time, remembering his previous speculation that "Uzo's aura is too strong and it is not suitable for him to approach strangers and plant hints, so he let Jiang Xia take his place", he suddenly thought of more:
Maybe Wu Zuo is actually using cats to approach strangers? First he lets the cat approach the target, and then he approaches and strikes up a conversation as if nothing has happened. With such a pet, when others look at the cat owner, they will naturally have a somewhat intimate filter.
Moreover, Okiya Subaru thought carefully about the scene when he first saw Usa: at that time, Usa didn't seem that scary, he looked like a college student who had just entered society. It was only later that his image gradually became terrifying.
Okiya Subaru: “…” Oh, and those sunglasses.
Come to think of it, every time I saw Uzo, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses on his nose.
Sunglasses will undoubtedly have a great impact on a person's image: for example, some guys who look fierce and ferocious will actually appear very harmless when they take off their sunglasses.
"..." In conclusion, if Wu Zuo really wanted to get close to the victims and create drama, then perhaps what he needed was not Jiang Xia, but...
In Subaru Okiya's mind, the image of Usa taking off his sunglasses, holding a cat, and approaching the innocent "actors" with a smile on his face slowly emerged... and he suddenly felt that this assumption made sense.
Okiya Subaru: “…” But what does this have to do with me?
——Anyway, I’m about to go on a long journey. These things should be left to Mr. Akai to worry about…
He cut off his messy thoughts and stopped thinking about them. He was ready to run away before the opportunity came.
But I'm still a little curious...
"..." When I get back, I'll definitely ask Mr. Akai about Jiang Xia. I always feel like they all have a lot of secrets...
…
The police car and ambulance arrived quickly, and the police and medical staff rushed to the attic one after another.
Taro Kusukawa was the most seriously injured and was carried into an ambulance.
Unfortunately, the criminals woke up slowly when the police arrived, and were separated and thrown into the police car.
The car door clicked shut, isolating them from making tearful accusations against the high school detective, such as "intentional injury!" and "unscrupulous detective!"
Sato Miwako: "..."
