Chapter 762 Okiya Subaru: Is Uzo going to bury me? Please give me a monthly ticket (▽` )
On this basis, Okiya Subaru calmly examined himself and felt that he might be able to get away with it.
——Since receiving this task, he has always maintained his original style of doing things.
As for now... he is indeed panicking because of "worrying about being found out as a traitor", but at the moment, the emotion of "panic" is actually very normal.
——I thought I was digging for treasure, but I suddenly dug up a corpse. My boss held me down and made me stare at the rotting corpse for a long time. He also gave me the most heartbreaking comfort and warnings in a gentle tone... At a time like this, it would be strange if I didn't panic or feel nervous.
…
After finishing the work of digging the hole, Subaru Okiya stood up and took a look at the young cosmos seedlings on the ground.
The green branches swayed in the wind, but in Okiya Subaru's eyes, they had lost all their beauty and were filled with a gloomy atmosphere, just like the young man in black next to him.
Jiang Xia also glanced at the cosmos seedlings and observed a 0.5 second silence for the unfortunate corpse below.
Then he turned his head and looked at Subaru Okiya who was standing next to him.
Okiya Subaru tensed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Uzo raised his hand and patted him: "Get out of here first."
…
On the way, Okiya Subaru heard the whole story of the case - including almost every detail from beginning to end.
As he listened, he became more and more certain of his previous guess.
——This is definitely not information that can be obtained by "accidentally passing by the area and seeing Yoshikazu Watanuki burying a body"... As for Wu Zuo, after discovering the burial, he checked every link one by one like a detective, that is even more impossible - even if Wu Zuo looks like a cadre with no obvious identity lurking in the shadows, he would never do such a conspicuous thing.
In short, rather than a lucky person who "passed by and accidentally saw the information about the burial of a body", Wuzo was more like a leader who hid in the shadows and held the script in his hands. He planted the seed of a case with his magical skills, and then watched it sprout and expand, and then watched it gradually grab the greed, murderous intent and blood around it, and finally grew into a dense vine that could completely separate Wuzo from the police.
In the end, anyone who comes to see it will only think that this is a feud between the deceased and the murderer, and will not guess that behind the branches and leaves, there is a pair of joyful eyes quietly watching everything.
While Okiya Subaru was listening and breaking out in a cold sweat.
The folding shovel that was used for digging was carefully wiped clean by Wu Zuo and given to him as a "greeting gift".
Although Jiang Xia himself simply felt that it was inconvenient to carry a heavy shovel with him, as the vest was an elusive thing.
But the recipient seemed to have thought a lot about it. Subaru Okiya's smile was polite but a little stiff, and the way he held the shovel was exactly like holding a grenade, with the fuse already pulled out.
Under Okiya Subaru's nervous gaze, his superior's observation of him seemed to have finally come to an end.
"Okay, that's it for today," Uzo said.
"The murderer will be punished sooner or later, and all you have to do is to speed up the process without leaving any traces and catch him in a reasonable way before the deadline.
"Of course, if you unfortunately leave traces during this process and the police catch you with real evidence... I hope you can be more sensible and not add extra burden to us."
"..." Okiya Subaru smiled modestly and nodded, "Definitely."
…
As they were talking, they had already walked down a street and passed the corner.
Okiya Subaru turned the corner, took two steps, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Looking back, Uzo didn't catch up.
"……?"
Okiya Subaru hesitated for a moment. He wanted to leave immediately, but he was worried that Usa might not have left, but was just tying his shoelaces, or that something nearby had attracted his attention, so he stopped temporarily...
He had no choice but to turn back to the intersection.
Then he looked at both sides and was slightly startled.
—Uzo is gone.
Looking around, the streets of the old city were empty. A few crows landed on the power lines in the distance. They were startled by the engineering graduate student holding a shovel and looked over here with low cries.
Okiya Subaru silently got goosebumps all over his body.
Something on the wall suddenly moved.
Okiya Subaru's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly clenched the heavy folding shovel in his hand and unfolded it with a click.
Looking up, I saw a cat leisurely passing by the wall.
The cat was completely black, with only four white paws. It seemed to be attracted by Okiya Subaru's alert look, and it stopped hesitantly, turned its head to look at him, and wagged its tail in confusion.
“……”…It’s a cat.
Subaru Okiya breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his gaze, looked around again, and felt that Usa should have left.
He didn't stop and walked quickly to the parking lot to look for his car.
And the dark cloud walking on snow on the wall seemed to have developed an interest in him during their eye contact just now.
The cat jumped off the fence lightly and ran to within two or three meters of Okiya Subaru, following behind him in a swaggering manner, not too far away.
…
Although I got a tracking vest that would not arouse suspicion.
But Jiang Xia felt that this tracking might not yield much.
Subaru Okiya seems to love to think too much, and although this kind of imagination always comes up with some strange things, generally speaking, it is relatively cautious.
Everyone knows that right after meeting a mysterious person, the cat is most likely to be followed and observed - even if the cat encountered is innocent, in modern society, there may be things like bugs and cameras.
In other words, if Okiya Subaru really had contact with Akai Shuichi, then at this time, no matter how panicked he was, he would not be likely to look for Akai Shuichi. On the other hand, even if he wanted to look for him, Akai Shuichi would probably realize this and disappear on his own.
So Jiang Xia just wanted to follow and find out the real place where Okiya Subaru lives now.
However, he soon discovered that even this plan had not been completed.
——After the two "people" separated, Subaru Okiya returned to the street where the target was and looked around for a while. After that, he actually went to a nearby hotel and booked a room.
After throwing the shovel and other luggage into the room, Subaru Okiya took his computer and returned to the coffee shop where it was convenient for surveillance, and began to spy on the paper while typing it. From the emails he exchanged with the professor on the way, it seemed that the paper was due next week, and he had only written half of it.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Just now, he slipped into the coffee shop wearing a cat vest while the clerk wasn't paying attention, and watched Subaru Okiya's computer screen.
Then he quickly regretted his decision to follow and yawned out of boredom.
Feeling that Okiya Subaru would not leave for a while, Jiang Xia took the time to return to the main body, went to Professor Agasa's house, and then went to the detective agency to give a batch of cats to the ladies who had been waiting for a long time.
