Chapter 763 I Will
After taking care of his own business, Jiang Xia put on the cat vest again that night and drove the cat to the coffee shop.
I saw that Okiya Subaru was still in the corner on the second floor of the cafe. He had a laptop in front of him. He was managing his time carefully and switching back and forth between his thesis work.
Late at night, after the lights in Watanuki Yoshi's house were turned off, Okiya Subaru did not leave immediately. He continued to watch for a while, and found that no one came out and there was no unusual movement. Then he yawned, carefully saved the paper, and returned to the hotel he had booked before.
Jiang Xia: “…”
When we first met, Okiya Subaru looked like a potential slacker, how come he suddenly became so dedicated...
He lay on the wall, his cheek supported by his cat paw, watching Subaru Okiya return to the hotel out of boredom.
Suddenly I felt that I might be an unexpectedly good boss - I could actually make a lazy guy change his ways and work hard.
…
The next day, Jiang Xia took the time to drive the cat over again.
Then he discovered that before the mission was over, Subaru Okiya seemed to be taking root in this area and had no intention of leaving.
If you keep staring at it, your efficiency may be very low.
Jiang Xia took advantage of Subaru Okiya's distraction and threw a transmitter at him, then returned to his main body and started to do his own thing.
…
On the second day after Subaru Okiya completed the "task training", after yesterday's accumulation, he already had a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain and general situation.
He thought back to Uzo's "teaching" process yesterday, and found that although the skill of "planning a case" was very powerful, when he listened to it, he did have a feeling of "sudden enlightenment", "so that's how it is", and "I think I can do it too".
But now, after Usa left, Okiya Subaru thought about it again and found it a mess. He had no idea how the other party did it.
“…” After realizing this serious problem, he fell into deep thought for a short while.
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, after this teaching task, what if next time, or the next time, Uzo asked me to plan alone?
...I thought about it over and over but couldn't come up with any ideas. I just felt a headache.
Subaru Okiya sighed and had to put this bleak future aside for the time being - it was useless to think too much, by that time, he might have already run away. Compared to this uncertain future, the most important thing now is indeed the current task.
Okiya Subaru thought, although he still couldn't grasp the essence of "manipulating cases".
But if he just guides others to find the body in the field and proves that the body is related to the target Watanuki Yoshiichi, the mission should be accomplished - of course, he did not forget Uzo's warning and knew that he must not be caught in the process.
So on that day, Subaru Okiya took many actions such as "creating roadblocks on other roads so that people can only pass by the body graveyard", "throwing a brightly colored flyer near the body graveyard from a blind spot where no one can see it, attracting people to accidentally find the bodies when they are 'cleaning up the garbage'" and so on.
…
At the end of the day, the body was still buried properly and no one noticed it.
Okiya Subaru: "..."
...It was not until then that he truly realized the complexity of the matter.
After all, the burial site is on private land, and normal people would never go in there.
Even if they went in, they would not dig around on the ground near the body.
…
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the third day, Saturday.
There are only two days left until the deadline for the task - the board meeting.
Subaru Okiya, with a pair of weak dark circles under his eyes, thought hard and came up with a new plan - since ordinary people would not do such a thing, the only option was... to find some naughty kids to invade private territory and dig up the soil.
Of course, Subaru Okiya thought that in order to avoid leaving psychological trauma on the children, when the body was about to be dug out, he would take the tool children away in advance and dig the remaining parts himself, trying not to hurt their young and fragile hearts.
…
While Subaru Okiya was basking in the dim light of the early morning, thinking hard and coming up with a new plan.
Jiang Xia slept in leisurely and got up slowly.
After having breakfast at his neighbor's house, he came to the detective agency to sort out the commissions that had recently piled up in his mailbox, and to see if his boss was there and whether he had any new cases.
Unfortunately, Toru Amuro is still not at the office.
However, when I was putting away the newspapers, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Jiang Xia was startled, turned his head to look at the door, and found that the person coming was a fierce-looking man.
The client, who looked like a villain, was actually very straightforward. He pushed the door open right after ringing the doorbell.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming towards him, he looked at the detective and said straight to the point: "I want you to help me find my sister."
"..." Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and nodded.
...What a coincidence, the client actually found him.
He pointed to the sofa in the living room and motioned for the guest to sit down: "Please wait a moment."
Then I went to get the authorization form and made tea for the guest.
While waiting for the water to boil, Jiang Xia looked at the bubbling steam coming out of the kettle and sighed:
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the boss has rarely come to the detective agency since the last time we went out together.
In the past, Toru Amuro would often stop by to take a look when he passed by here. If he met guests, he would instinctively help with the reception.
But now…
Without a skilled worker, Jiang Xia could only do odd jobs on his own.
By the time the client had filled out the registration form, the tea was already brewed.
Jiang Xia brought tea and snacks. When he put down the tray, he sat down opposite the client, picked up the registration form, and quickly scanned it.
The fierce-looking client leaned back on the sofa, his emotions calming down a little.
He opened his mouth to add something that was not written on the table:
“A month ago, my sister, Koda Sanae, suddenly disappeared.
"——We are not native to Tokyo, but were born in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. Six years ago, Sanae went to Tokyo with several other graduates of the same period and found a good job at Toudou Securities. She is an excellent person with strong working ability...
At this point, Koda Masao realized that he had gone off topic. He pressed his forehead tiredly and returned to the main topic:
“But on the night of the 8th of last month, Sanae suddenly disappeared.
"It was two days later that I heard about this. I booked a ticket to Tokyo overnight, went to her company, and asked her colleagues to find out her whereabouts.
"Colleagues said that Sanae left the company after get off work at 8pm that night, and before leaving, she said she was going to meet a client - that was the last time those colleagues saw Sanae.
"And the 'client' that Sanae was going to meet is——"
With a hint of uncontrollable anger and a bit of murderous intent that surprised Jiang Xia, Koda Masao took out a photo from his bag and slapped it on the table:
"It's this guy, Watanuki Yoshiichi!"
