Chapter 741: Suspicious Okiya Subaru
Jiang Xia remembered the murderous aura lingering around the driver, the high-end murderous aura that smelled like perfume.
"..." Theoretically, if you want to kill a cat, you shouldn't have that much murderous intent. Otherwise, psychics would have a better future working in a slaughterhouse than in a black organization.
Come to think of it, this is somewhat similar to a murder case against humans that he had seen.
In my impression, many murderers can't help but return to the crime scene after committing a crime. If it was last night or even earlier, a murderer killed someone nearby, and just now the murderer covered up tightly, returned to the scene to check and clean up, and in the process of cleaning up, the murderer was witnessed by the naughty children who were fishing... It makes sense.
As for why there was an unlucky dead cat in this incident… maybe when the murderer was killing someone, he saw a cat passing by nearby and was looked at by the cat, so he felt guilty and took his anger out on the cat and killed it. Or maybe he was simply very excited or panicked after killing someone, so he wanted to relieve stress by beating the innocent street cat…
Just as I was thinking about it, my neck was suddenly patted.
——Jinpei Matsuda wandered off somewhere for a while and then floated back to his shoulder.
After attracting Jiang Xia's attention, the police ghost raised his hand and pointed at a park bench in the distance.
There was a row of trimmed bushes between the bench and their current location, and given the children's height, their view was blocked and they could not see that side.
Jiang Xia could see it, but because it was quite a distance away from the bench, he could only see an outline.
However, although the details were still unclear, he was broadcasting the scene with a ghost.
[There are traces of blood smeared near the bench, and a thin layer of soil of the same color as the ground is spread to cover it. In addition, there is a thick branch with cat hair hidden in the bushes. Judging from the amount of blood, the pool of blood on the ground does not seem to be caused by a cat. Someone may have killed someone with a sharp weapon, and then in a panic, picked up a branch to hit the cat... There is no body nearby, it should have been moved away]
While listening, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at Matsuda Jinpei: "..." These days, even ghosts have detective attributes.
His expression was calm, not letting others or other ghosts see his inner thoughts, and he nodded slightly.
Then he casually took out his cell phone and took a look at it.
When the suspicious person who was covered tightly just now drove past him, Jiang Xia threw a transmitter into the car.
At this time, the signal point was already in the city, and it stopped and no longer moved. It was not known whether the detector was discarded after being discovered, or the car stopped.
…But in any case, it should be difficult to detect the tiny abnormality on the roof before the owner gets out of the car. So until the owner stops the car for the first time, the detected route is valuable.
Jiang Xia saved the route of the red dot's movement.
Then he remembered something and opened his inbox to check, only to find it empty - after he sent a task to his new subordinate Okiya Subaru as "Uzo", he had not received a reply from this person yet.
Jiang Xia: “…” The arc is quite long and becoming more and more suspicious.
However, on second thought, if the current "Okiya Subaru" is really Akai Shuichi, then this situation may not happen. After all, as the "silver bullet" certified by the organization, Akai Shuichi has always wanted to destroy the organization. And such a capable and stubborn person will definitely not resist the contact from the new boss and will reply within the normal time.
"..." So now, I was being held back for so long, maybe because "Okiya Subaru" really didn't have time to look at his phone, he might be doing other tasks, or busy with other things - most of the peripheral members have normal identities other than "organization members", and Okiya Subaru is an engineering graduate student. Studying for a master's degree in the island country is not mainstream, there are not many graduate students, and it's not easy to catch a strong male laborer, the instructor will not let him go, and it is indeed easy for him to disappear when he is busy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia fell into deep thought: I don't know why Shuichi Akai's version of "Okiya Subaru" in the original world line was so idle, stewing potatoes next to Professor Agasa's house every day... Maybe this guy just got the identity of Okiya Subaru and secretly dropped out of graduate school. Anyway, he really doesn't look like a good student who obeys the rules.
Jiang Xia speculated about the composition of his new subordinates with a little curiosity, then put his phone away again.
He lowered his head, looked at the cat in Kiri Tengu's arms, and then looked at the cat's corpse on the ground. He was not sure what the cat's last wish was... but since it could become a ghost, it showed that it had a certain ability to think. It would be better to trick it into serving a normal ghost...
Jiang Xia: "We still don't know where the person who hit the cat is. Since the suspect has only been here for a short time, he may not come back in the short term. Since we have the nameplate, let's go and return the cat's body to its owner."
...After dealing with the cat's body, I will follow the clues of the transmitter and find an excuse to go see the suspicious person with his face covered.
If that was really the murderer who killed the cat to silence him, then the case would be solved and he would be thrown into prison... then we should be able to take the cat home.
The children had no objection to this approach.
Conan nodded as well. Although he always likes to overthink, at the moment, he only saw a cat with fibers in its paws. Conan has not yet fast-forwarded to the point where "the cat witnessed the murder and was killed by the murderer". Instead, like other children, he felt that someone was abusing the cat.
Jiang Xia called the phone number shown on the nameplate on the cat's neck.
But no one answered.
"It looks like there's an address written here." Ayumi Yoshida squatted beside the cat's body and carefully pointed at the nameplate. There was indeed a string of address information engraved on it in sesame-sized letters.
Jiang Xia looked carefully and found that this family was not far from the driver's route transmitted by the transmitter.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, why not give it to her... There's a gift shop over there, I'll go find a box of similar size."
…
He returned soon with a box.
Although it is a gift box, Jiang Xia deliberately chose a darker color so that it looks like a small coffin, giving preferential treatment to available labor that has not yet been signed.
Unfortunately, the cat seemed unable to understand human funeral culture. After seeing the box, it did not show a relieved look like other ghosts about to be kidnapped. Instead, it was very interested in trying to get its head inside and compete with its body for the box.
"..." Mist Tengu held down the cat that suddenly jumped out, carefully caught it back, and silently prayed that the owner could trick this new ghost as soon as possible. After signing the contract, even if the cat ran around, it could be recalled to the imprint space with one click, and there would be no need to worry about losing the cat like now...
