Chapter 224 Digital Sequence Lead Me
In addition, speaking of Xu Shengyi, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.
——He remembered the intersection between "Asahi Katsuyoshi" and "Mouri Kogoro". It was Mouri Kogoro who helped Asahi Katsuyoshi find his lost cat.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia turned off the computer, went to Toru Amuro's detective agency, and flipped through the cat diary and the appointment book hanging on the door.
However, in the client column, Xu Shengyi's name did not appear, nor did any other person with the surname Xu, such as Xu Shengyi's wife.
...I don't know whether the cat was not lost or it had actually been lost, but Asahi Katsuyoshi didn't come to him to check, but was influenced by the stubborn world line and went to find Mouri Kogoro.
After all, even though Kogoro Mouri's murder cases are now being taken away by unscrupulous young men, the Mouri Detective Agency is still famous for finding all kinds of things.
Since he had nothing to do anyway, Jiang Xia simply found some new peripherals that Yoko Kinoshita gave him, and used them as an excuse to go to the Mori Detective Agency to gather information.
Maori Kogoro usually didn't take care of his appearance, and there were a lot of commissions on his desk. Jiang Xia took a quick look and actually saw Asahi Katsuyoshi's commission to find a cat among them.
The photo shows a ginger cat with a heart-shaped patch of white hair on its side. Its fur color and features are very unique.
Jiang Xia looked at the photo and felt that he had found a way to investigate the case of Kogoro Mouri.
——Judging from the completion status noted on the order, Kogoro Mouri has not yet found the cat.
When it comes to finding cats, Jiang Xia just happens to have a group of younger brothers who are extremely talented in this area.
If he could pick up the cat first and send it to Mouri Kogoro, when Mouri Kogoro meets Asahi Katsuyoshi, whose name contains the character "九", he might think of Jiangxia and remove the character "二" from "江".
In this way, Jiang Xia can naturally participate in it.
…
Thinking of this, while Kogoro Mouri was happily unpacking Yoko Kinoshita's not-for-sale peripherals, Jiang Xia picked up the cat photo.
He hesitated and said, "This cat...I seem to have seen it somewhere before."
Maori Kogoro was startled and put down his peripherals for the time being. He was still quite concerned about the client's entrustment: "Do you still remember the specific location?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be next to the Metropolitan Police Department."
This is a lie.
Jiang Xia had only seen a photo of this cat, which he saw on Kogoro Mouri's desk a few seconds ago, and had never seen the real cat.
Jiang Xia said this just to lay the groundwork for catching the cat in the future - he had seen the cat, was concerned about this commission, and then suddenly caught the cat and gave it to Mouri Kogoro, which would be more reasonable.
If you fail to find the cat in the future, that’s of course okay. Cats are creatures that will roam around the world once they go out. It’s reasonable that you may not be able to catch them after seeing them once.
But if he was caught, without any foreshadowing, he got a cat for no reason and sent it to Kogoro Mouri, and then a few days later, the cat's owner was suddenly murdered... I always feel that something is wrong when I think about it carefully.
Jiang Xia objectively evaluated himself and felt that he was not a perfect law-abiding citizen.
Therefore, it is best to avoid some coincidences that easily arouse suspicion. Although one or two incidents are not a problem, such incidents are like toxins that accumulate in the body. If they accumulate too much, they will eventually be exposed.
If I lose my good citizen vest, I won't be taken to the police station unless I have evidence. But then the good people on the red side will be wary of me, and it won't be easy to pick up cases and pick up ghosts like it is now...
Kogoro Maori didn't think much about it. He wrote down the place Jiang Xia mentioned and prepared to go look for it later.
…
Jiang Xia punched in at Kogoro Mori's office, got the information he wanted, and left quickly.
After leaving the Maori Detective Agency, Jiang Xia sent a group message to his younger brothers, asking them to pay more attention to the cat being carried sideways.
At the same time, he stopped by Professor Agasa's house to see if there were any new cats delivered - what if one of his younger brothers was gifted and saw a cat that didn't look like a stray cat and caught it.
Unfortunately, however, Dr. Agasa's house did not have the cat that Jiang Xia was looking for.
However, there were dishes he wanted to eat, and quite a lot of them.
Jiang Xia had a meal at Huihara Ai's house and continued to urge his younger brother to find a cat.
He himself temporarily returned to the detective agency to deal with the miscellaneous commissions that had accumulated during his trip to Mermaid Island. When he got home, he would also have to check other cases that might happen in the near future. On the list sent by Gin, there was another name that Jiang Xia found familiar.
…
Just two days passed, and when Jiang Xia was looking through some information at home, he suddenly received a message from his younger brother.
——Huangmao said that he saw the cat that Jiang Xia was looking for on the balcony of an apartment building.
Jiang Xia quickly arrived at the place he mentioned and looked up.
This apartment building has a total of six floors. The target beautiful cat is lying on the balcony handrail of a house on the fourth floor, sleeping comfortably.
I don’t know whether it was picked up and taken home by someone, or if it climbed up there by itself.
However, most people would not leave their cats on a semi-open balcony. Jiang Xia thought it was more likely the latter.
The location on the fourth floor is neither high nor low, so it is not easy for humans to get the cat.
Jiang Xia looked around and found that it was quite quiet here and there were not many people.
He then wanted to send his younger brother away, so he just made a large bird out of clay and caught the cat.
However, just as the younger brother left and Jiang Xia was about to hide aside and manipulate the puppet, the ghosts suddenly reacted.
——There is murderous intent in that house.
Although it is not strong, it does exist.
Jiang Xia was stunned.
After thinking for a moment, he put away the puppet clay and walked into the apartment building.
This apartment has no unit door.
Jiang Xia glanced at the mailbox on the first floor and compared it with the room number he had just seen. He discovered that the resident of the house where the target cat was located was named Naoki Kamimura.
This name gave Jiang Xia a sense of familiarity.
In my impression, Naoki Kamimura is a little-known football player. Not long ago, during a training session, his calf was accidentally kicked and fractured by his good friend Hideo Akagi.
Naoki Kamimura firmly believed that Hideo Akagi deliberately broke his right leg because he was worried that he would be surpassed by him.
So Naoki Kamimura took advantage of his relationship with Hideo Akagi and brought Hideo Akagi's younger brother back to his home to play during an important game. He fabricated the illusion that his brother was kidnapped, and sent an anonymous threatening letter to Hideo Akagi, asking him to fix the match and deliberately lose the game.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked the ghost to float upstairs and take a look at the situation.
There are two people, one big and one small, in room 402.
The child was concentrating on playing the game, while the adult, who had a plaster cast on his right leg, sat nearby, watching the football match on TV with a gloomy expression.
