Chapter 775: The vest has been taken off
After Okiya Subaru's extensive investigation, he is currently more inclined to believe that there is no direct relationship between Jiangxia and Usa.
——Just now, Subaru Okiya asked Masao Koda and learned that the reason why he asked Jiang Xia for a commission was that when he went to Beihua Department Store, he saw a detective variety show in a store he passed by, and Jiang Xia was shown in the show.
So Subaru Okiya went to that shopping mall.
Then I realized that this was probably just a coincidence.
Koda Masao didn't say what he was doing at the mall that day, but Okiya Subaru looked at the mall map for a while based on his purpose, and tried to go to the outdoor goods store on the 5th floor to ask about the situation. Unexpectedly, there was a result - Koda Masao went there to buy a shovel.
Masao Koda looked very much like the villain in Kamen Rider, the "Mole Alien", and the things he bought happened to be used for digging the ground, so the clerk was deeply impressed by him.
Knowing Koda Masao's destination at the time, and re-observing the layout of the supermarket, we can find that Koda Masao saw Jiang Xia's variety show at that time, which was probably just a coincidence - the location of the outdoor goods store is right between several elevator entrances, and there are many passages to choose from if you want to get there from the parking lot. In addition, in that show, Jiang Xia was just a guest guest, and there were not many scenes. People's walking speed, being attracted by the surrounding goods on the way, various accidents... may cause you to miss that scene.
In short, Subaru Okiya had no idea how he could make Masao Koda pass by that store and see Jiang Xia's variety show at that precise time, and then come up with the idea of "finding a detective."
...In other words, if this is really a plan, then it is undoubtedly very random.
And Uzo...
Subaru Okiya pondered it carefully for a long time, and felt that Usa would not like this kind of luck-the new boss's control desire was very strong, and he even had to personally review and teach the new peripheral subordinates. In comparison, this low probability was too random.
Of course, considering the possibility that "it was a coincidence that Koda Masao saw Jiang Xia's program in the mall, but Usa also had plans ABCD to let Koda Masao contact Jiang Xia", the cautious Okiya Subaru did a little more research.
Then he discovered that among the murder cases and commissions that Jiang Xia had handled in the past, a considerable number of the victims were just ordinary people with little status.
Wuzo is a young and promising cadre, and he is usually very busy. He should not have time to persecute ordinary citizens. After all, this kind of murderous plot requires a lot of time for advance observation and precise control. Otherwise, Wuzo can't be so talented that he can let others kill people according to his script after just a few encounters and a few words. He is not a legendary villain in the story, haha... ha...
Okiya Subaru: "..."
He wanted to smile with relief.
But it failed.
"..." In the final analysis, Okiya Subaru thought, he didn't even understand the method that Wu Zuo used to instigate the target to kill. In this case, why do you think Wu Zuo can't create a troublesome case in a short period of time?
...As the saying goes, learning never ends. Subaru Okiya has seen many incredible geniuses in his research field.
At this moment, as he admired the genius from another field, his self-confidence, which was not inflated to begin with, suddenly shrank even further.
…
Walking out of the library that stored a huge amount of case newspapers, Subaru Okiya walked down the street with a complicated expression.
Coincidentally, three familiar-looking children ran past him chattering - Ayumi Yoshida, Genta Kojima, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
Subaru Okiya stared at them in shock, and suddenly thought, if Jiang Xia was really in cahoots with Wu Zuo, then was his plan to find the child to commit fraud and then lead the naughty child to the burial site also part of Wu Zuo's plan?
After all, the kid he ran into happened to be someone Jiang Xia knew, which made it hard for him not to think too much...
“……”Okiya Subaru approached Yoshida Ayumi and the other two and carefully asked them questions.
Then it was discovered that the children were not called out to play by Jiang Xia or any other suspicious persons, but they just wanted to play on their own.
In addition, the idea of "playing baseball" itself was a spur-of-the-moment decision - they originally planned to go to Beika Park to play football, but in the morning, Kojima Genta fell while holding the ball across the overpass, and the football unfortunately rolled onto the roof of a passing truck.
When the ball was gone, they suddenly thought of going to a remote park to play baseball.
…After asking this question, Subaru Okiya finally had an idea of the answer to his question.
——There are too many coincidences in this series of events.
so……
Maybe this is just a coincidence?
Following this line of thought, verify it in reverse.
Okiya Subaru gradually found other evidence to support this idea.
——If Jiang Xia was really Usa's subordinate, then when a group of people gathered at the door of Watanuki Yoshi's house just now, Jiang Xia would not have left at all. He would have asked a few more questions casually, led the topic to the group of people playing baseball, and then tried to lead to the real burial site.
But Okiya Subaru carefully recalled the previous interactions between the two sides.
I found that at that time, Jiang Xia didn't ask any extra questions and didn't do anything to lead the way.
...No matter from which angle you look at it, he is just a detective who doesn't know any unnecessary information and is focused on doing his job.
——This is obviously inconsistent with Usa’s purpose of “promoting the search for the body and sending Watanuki Yoshikazu to the police station as soon as possible.”
In other words, Jiang Xia is nothing like an employee under Usa - Okiya Subaru doesn't believe that anyone would deliberately slow down the progress and slack off in front of a boss like Usa.
Also, there is one more thing.
Jiang Xia’s previous style of solving cases was “as fast as if he was reading a script”…If you think about it carefully, this is actually a flaw in itself.
If Jiang Xia was really Wu Zuo's subordinate and was following Wu Zuo's orders, then this undramatic reading-from-a-script-style case-solving was a failure - just like a series of scenes piled up to the end, the final chapter began, and the troupe should have presented the audience with the most profound and gorgeous performance, revealing the foreshadowing and giving the ending. However, suddenly, all the actors left the stage, all the props were removed, and only the narrator came over, yawned, flipped open the book, and read the script dryly on the stage, still a simplified version without any details...
If Uzo was the director of this scene, he would have been very tolerant if he didn't rush onto the stage with Uzi and shoot the self-willed narrator into a beehive. He would never have allowed the other party to continue to be his subordinate.
...No matter how you think about it, what Jiang Xia did was not what a qualified younger brother should do.
In general, when Wu Zuo and Jiang Xia are involved in the case, people will think of "script".
But there is probably no specific relationship between these two "scripts". It turned out like this only because Jiang Xia originally had this style of solving cases.
