Chapter 772: Taking off Jiang Xia's vest, what does it have to do with Wu Zuo
"Don't be angry. Although Jiang Xia is a detective, he is still just a high school student. Students always abide by the rules and don't want to cross the line of the law. He didn't mean to target you."
Subaru Okiya pretended to be in a peacemaking position, trying to get Koda Masao to let down his guard, and at the same time, he also secretly mixed in some personal opinions and asked:
"Come to think of it, why did you think of looking for him? This kind of thing should actually be handed over to the experienced detectives who are better at navigating the gray area."
At this time, Masao Koda also had his own thoughts.
Seeing that Okiya Subaru didn't ask him "Why didn't you use your cell phone instead of going to a phone booth to make a call", he only asked some irrelevant questions.
Masao Koda was also happy to change the subject.
Following Okiya Subaru's question, he casually said:
"I couldn't find any evidence that Watanuki Yoshikazu had buried the body, and the police didn't believe me. I investigated on my own for a long time but still had no clue.
"Later, I went to Mihua Department Store one day. In a store I passed by, a detective variety show was playing on TV. It happened to be about Jiang Xia. I had heard of this detective before, so I thought I could ask him for a commission. Then I looked up the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked and found that it was not far away, so I went there."
After Koda Masao finished speaking, he originally thought that Okiya Subaru brought up this topic because he wanted to recommend him a detective who would dare to accompany him to dig up corpses.
Unexpectedly, Okiya Subaru pondered for a while and asked out of the blue: "Why did you go to the mall that day?"
After a pause, he added in a serious and low voice: "Also, why did you want to watch the TV in that store? Was there any special situation that required you to turn your attention to the TV?"
Masao Koda: "...?"
He scratched the back of his head and stared at Subaru Okiya carefully. He gradually began to suspect that this man had no intention of recommending a detective. He was just making small talk and preparing a big topic, such as "Why don't you just obey the law and wait for the police to help you?"
Thinking of this, Masao Koda sighed and didn't want to continue wasting time with these enthusiastic passers-by within the legal framework.
He answered casually: "I went to the mall to buy things, of course, and watched the TV in the store... I just raised my head accidentally and saw it. What's the reason?"
Okiya Subaru: "..." Unintentionally...
He savored the word carefully, and for a moment he couldn't decide whether it was pure "inadvertent" or mixed with Uzo's "inadvertent".
When I came to my senses, Masao Koda had already turned the corner and left alone.
“……”Okiya Subaru stopped at the side of the street, was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.
He looked around carefully, then took out his cell phone and turned it on to check.
There was no sign of Uzo around.
There was no news from Uzo on the phone.
——The other party didn't seem to be nearby, or was observing secretly but had no intention of stopping his investigation.
Subaru Okiya hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but get on the train and prepare to go to the mall to check out the situation.
...This matter is directly related to the way he acts now and in the future.
——As a member of a peripheral organization that longs for peace, Subaru Okiya does not want to inadvertently block the way of his colleagues or mess up the tasks assigned by his superiors. He also does not want to misjudge Jiang Xia's identity and suddenly be stabbed in the back by justice when he thinks that the other party is in the same camp as him.
And now, even if Jiang Xia is really Wu Zuo's subordinate, he was just curious and revealed the identity of a person of the same rank, not Wu Zuo. Even if his whereabouts are exposed, it shouldn't be a big problem... right?
Although this kind of question can perhaps be asked directly.
But after thinking it over, Subaru Okiya did not dare to send such an inquiry email to Usa.
He always felt that there were some similarities between Uzo and his terrible professors - they all disliked subordinates who did not use their own brains and would only ask "why why" or "what to do" at the first moment... This could be seen from the fact that when Uzo was teaching him hand-in-hand the day before yesterday, he first asked him what his plan was, and then slowly put forward his own plan.
So now, I should check it myself first.
While thinking, Okiya Subaru nervously embarked on the journey of verification.
…
A few dozen minutes later.
In Yoshikazu Watanuki's villa.
Yoshikazu Watanuki held the telescope and observed carefully for a long time.
After confirming that there were no suspicious people around, he turned around, went downstairs, picked up his coat, and prepared to go out.
——Today was originally the day when Yoshikazu Watanuki went to the hospital for a routine checkup.
According to the plan, he should have left long ago. But before that, the two messy and troublesome guests made Yoshikazu Watanuki alert and he did not dare to leave the house.
After the group of people left for a while, Yoshikazu Watanuki calmed down a little, picked up the telescope and went up to the top floor, continuing to observe, while struggling with whether he should go out for a physical examination today.
While he was struggling, the phone at home rang.
It was the "front desk of the Central Hospital" who called. The hospital seemed to have noticed his pigeon behavior and called to give him a friendly reminder.
Yoshikazu Watanuki was a little annoyed by the urging and hung up the phone angrily without listening carefully.
But after this little episode, coupled with the fact that he was shocked by Koda Masao's burst of energy on the door before, he didn't know whether it was real or an illusion, but Yoshikazu Watanuki always felt that his heart, which already had some problems, was even more uncomfortable, and he really needed to go to the hospital.
Yoshiichi Watanuki stroked his chin and recalled those kids who looked very timid, Subaru Okiya who looked like a cultured person and would not dare to continue to sneak into other people's construction sites after being exposed, and the detective who looked very law-abiding and would stop Masao Koda. He felt that there would be no big problem.
Besides, even if Koda Masao really sneaked in while he was not at home...
Yoshikazu Watanuki opened the door and walked out of the courtyard.
As he passed the yard, he turned his head, glanced at the smooth lawn in his yard, and sneered.
…Even if Koda Masao came in, he wouldn’t be able to find what he wanted.
Yoshikazu Watanuki thought for a moment, locked the door, and headed for the hospital.
…
At the same time, in the shadows, a pair of eyes stared at Yoshikazu Watanuki's departing back.
After seeing him really leave.
Masao Koda, who was observing secretly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, when Masao Koda disguised himself as a stranger in the phone booth and called Yoshiichi Watanuki, he was actually a little nervous.
But now it seems that everything went smoothly - a person who is afraid of death like Yoshikazu Watanuki would not miss the necessary examinations.
So what's next?
After Yoshikazu Watanuki's figure disappeared around the corner, Masao Koda started the motorcycle under his crotch and drove away, ready to act according to his plan.
…
Metropolitan Police Department.
"Okay, only the last two pieces left."
Takagi Wataru sat opposite Jiang Xia, flipping through several transcripts and giving a tired business smile.
