Chapter 769 You Know Too Much
“You…!” Koda Masao had a bad temper to begin with. When he heard Watanuki Yoshiichi cursing first, he immediately became furious and pounced on the person in front of him whom he had identified as his enemy.
The iron gate of the courtyard was pushed with a loud bang by him, and Mian Guanyi was startled and stepped back, holding his chest.
After a moment, he looked at his sturdy door, calmed down, snorted angrily, took out his cell phone, and pretended to call the police.
When Masao Koda failed to break the door open, he actually reached out his hand and climbed up along the gate, as if he wanted to flip over and beat someone up.
Jiang Xia and Okiya Subaru were startled, and almost at the same time reached out their hands to hold him: "Calm down, if you are detained by the police, you will not be able to do anything - now at least you can investigate freely."
“…”
Koda Masao was pulled by two pairs of hands and gradually regained consciousness. He stared at Watanuki Yoshiichi and the phone that Watanuki Yoshiichi was about to use to call the police, and finally let go of the hand holding the railing and fell back to the ground.
Jiang Xia patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Subaru Okiya looked at this scene, pushed his glasses up, and had complicated thoughts.
The young detective stopped Koda Masao, simply because he was concerned about this ordinary citizen who was a bit irritable.
While I did this out of sympathy, I was also worried that after Koda Masao was arrested, no one would be persistent in looking for the body.
...Jiang Xia is a detective with a strong conscience who can act according to his own heart; his twisted and terrifying new boss has no conscience at all and can also act according to his dark heart. They both look very happy.
...In comparison, it is really difficult to be a person like me who is neither good nor bad.
Subaru Okiya sighed, feeling like he was standing on two boats, one red and one black, with Usa on one side and Akai Shuichi on the other. He briefly considered what actions he should take in the future, and pressed his forehead with a headache. He decided not to think about anything for now and concentrate on solving the task at hand.
…
After this conflict, the Junior Detective Team's plan to pick up the ball and Jiang Xia's plan to "visit Min Guanyi's house" were naturally ruined.
Watanuki Yoshiichi didn't stay outside for long. He snorted coldly and returned to the villa quickly, looking aggressive but actually fleeing. He obviously felt that the yard was not safe.
Masao Koda kicked the iron door angrily.
He shook off the two people who were pulling him and looked at Jiang Xia who proposed to "peacefully resolve the issue": "Did you see that?? He won't even let us in! Not to mention sit down and talk!"
After a pause, Koda Masao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "When he goes to the hospital for a checkup later, you can go in with me to dig up the body. If you have any concerns, I can do it myself."
Haibara Ai pricked up her ears alertly and secretly poked Jiang Xia from behind to remind him that this was illegal.
...As a member of the organization, Jiang Xia could sneak over to dig up people's yards in the middle of the night, but he couldn't agree to it in person. Especially now that there were two strangers present, everything Jiang Xia said now might be used as evidence in court in the future - even a researcher like her knew that people in the organization could be less law-abiding, but they could never leave any evidence... Speaking of which, if Jiang Xia didn't have to do anything to dig up the body, why did he have to have a detective accompany him?
Haibara Ai's thoughts couldn't help but synchronize with those of some of the organization's leaders who also loved to think too much.
Jiang Xia thought about it and indeed did not agree: "I need to go to other places to confirm the situation first. If there are indeed signs that the body is hidden in the yard, I will help you."
...It's okay at other times, but now there's Subaru Okiya next to me. I have to be more serious, go to the clue point first to get a card, and then come back to solve the case at high speed.
However, Koda Masao lacked understanding of the details of the famous detective's case. He shook his head and sneered sadly, "Famous private detectives are really starting to cherish their reputation." At this point, he raised his hand to wipe his face, took a deep breath, and seemed to have completely calmed down. "It is indeed illegal to break into a house. I shouldn't have come to you."
Masao Koda turned and walked away, his hands in his pockets, looking a little lonely from behind.
Jiang Xia stood behind him, silently watching him and his murderous aura leave.
After Masao Koda disappeared from his sight, Jiang Xia identified the surrounding directions and walked towards the station.
…
The other kids lost their baseballs and didn’t dare to ask the fierce owner of the house, so they had to follow Jiang Xia home dejectedly.
Subaru Okiya subconsciously followed the team here.
Although the client expressed disappointment, Jiang Xia did not seem to give up the investigation. Okiya Subaru secretly prayed that things would go smoothly, and intuitively felt that Jiang Xia should be his hope to complete the task - from past reports, Jiang Xia is definitely a genius in solving cases.
Now, there are more and more geniuses... If my young genius boss suddenly meets Jiang Xia, will they fight? One carefully wrote the script, but the other can always see through it at a glance. No matter how you look at it, they are natural enemies.
...But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any conflict.
After all, even if the case was solved, the unlucky one would only be the target of the murder. The whole case seemed to have nothing to do with Uzo.
The detective is always a step late and arrives at the scene after the murder has happened. By then, Wu Zuo's mission has already been accomplished. Jiang Xia's arrival can expose the "murderer's" intentions and put an end to the case.
On the contrary, if there were no detectives, these carefully designed cases would be like a drama with no one to unveil it, and no one to appreciate the artistic foreshadowing. For example, Uzo, through precise and complex operations, created a case with exquisite techniques, intricate relationships between characters, and thought-provoking background information. Then, after the incident, the police came to the scene under Uzo's expectant eyes, and left with a concise and clear "suicide"...
"..."Okiya Subaru only imagined that scene, and it was as if he felt Usa's tremendous anger through his mind.
He couldn't help but wrap his coat a little tighter around him.
... Come to think of it. No matter how talented Jiang Xia is, he is just a detective after all, and a private detective who has dealt with all kinds of weird clients and it is not surprising that he suddenly died one day.
Based on Okiya Subaru's impression of Usa, if Usa felt that "Jiang Xia", the detective who solved cases quickly, was an obstacle, he would probably have caused the innocent detective to "die accidentally" long ago.
And now... although their positions are completely different, in a sense, these two geniuses can actually reach a tacit cooperation...
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru suddenly remembered something and was startled.
"..." He recalled that many media outlets, when praising Jiang Xia's quick thinking in solving cases, described him as someone who "saw through the criminal's script at a glance."
script……
script?!
