Chapter 781: The Fight between Gods, Stay Away from Me
But Okiya Subaru soon came to his senses.
——I didn’t do it on purpose. When Wuzo asked him to dig down there, he didn’t even know that there was a body buried underneath... It’s okay, calm down. There are no ghosts in the world. Even if there are, they will first look for others, such as a mastermind cadre or something...
Subaru Okiya thought about his new boss, and besides being afraid, he strangely felt a sense of security - before the demon killed Usa, he should have no time to make things difficult for a small worker like him. And according to legend, demons are afraid of evil people, and Usa looked like he could suppress demons...
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru gradually felt relieved.
He wrapped his windbreaker tightly around himself, adjusted his scarf, and made an appointment with the police to take a statement.
He asked for Jiang Xia's business card, and then prepared to say goodbye to this detective who was good at solving cases and had a good relationship with their "Uzo Flow" and go to finish his thesis.
But when he looked up to say hello, Okiya Subaru suddenly discovered that Jiang Xia was looking at him with a bit of strange eyes - although he quickly concealed it, Okiya Subaru always felt that there was a hint of subtle inquiry and vigilance in the eyes of this young detective.
Okiya Subaru was slightly stunned, and his first reaction was: those two clever kids said something to Jiang Xia, such as that he had peeked at his mobile phone screen or something like that... causing Jiang Xia to feel a little disgusted with him.
However, soon, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but think again, if even a child thought he was suspicious, maybe Jiang Xia was also...
Uzo's warning "bury yourself in the ground if you are exposed" flashed through his mind, and his scalp tingled slightly.
But I quickly remembered that the day before yesterday, when Uzo talked about "exposed", the specific words he used were "being caught by the police with solid evidence".
...Think about it carefully, why did Uzo add the word "police" in his words instead of using the more common saying "being caught by others"?
At that time, Okiya Subaru was being held down by Usa, looking deeply into the rotting eye sockets of the corpse at close range, and had no time to think about it.
But now, after going through all this, he suddenly realized that there might be some other meaning hidden in Uzo's seemingly casual threat.
——Although it is true that only the police are qualified to arrest people, Wu Zuo's statement has virtually excluded the "detective" from the "people who found suspicious things", leaving only the "police". In other words...Jiang Xia had already noticed the traces of Wu Zuo's existence, and Wu Zuo also discovered this?
Once this idea came up, it was out of control.
Okiya Subaru suddenly realized that the two geniuses related to the case happened to be in Tokyo. The more frequent the case, the more likely they were to meet - in this case, perhaps Jiang Xia had already discovered that there were traces of human manipulation behind some of the cases.
...If Jiang Xia is really as amazing as the media claims, then it is actually very reasonable for him to have such observation skills.
In particular, if Wu Zuo deliberately led Jiang Xia to the crime scene at some point in pursuit of efficiency or for the sake of attracting attention to the case... then Jiang Xia would definitely be able to find something unnatural.
——Everything has two sides. A good sword can kill an enemy as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. But if one day, the sword suddenly awakens and kills the user in turn, it will also be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables...For Wu Zuo, Jiangxia is probably such a sword.
Okiya Subaru was a little nervous at first. But he soon thought that if even he could understand this kind of danger, there was no way Usa couldn't understand it, which meant...
Um?!
“…” Combining what Usa did the day before yesterday, Okiya Subaru suddenly had a guess.
... Could it be that Wuzo's hand-in-hand teaching of his younger brother to perform tasks was not just because he was strict. The more real reason was that Wuzo wanted to push out a scapegoat to help him take the blame when things became difficult to cover up?
Subaru Okiya: “…” Indeed, in this way, even if one day Jiang Xia really finds evidence that "someone is planning and pushing the murder behind the scenes", compared to the elusive Usa, it is obviously "Subaru Okiya", who has had contact with him, who is more likely to become a target in the eyes of detectives and the police.
In other words, the more he imitated Uzo and the more he could stand on his own, the closer he would be to being exposed...
As he was thinking, even though the weather was still cold, Subaru Okiya couldn't stop sweating... He had known that he would have to take the blame in the workplace, so he had been dragging his feet and didn't want to work, so he devoted himself to academia. He didn't expect that he would have to take the blame in the organization!
but……
Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses.
After calming down and thinking about it, although I inevitably showed some suspicious points in today's mission, no one has found "concrete evidence of crime" on me.
In addition, judging from previous reports and what we saw and heard today, Jiang Xia is obviously not the kind of death reserve who would start shouting loudly as soon as he catches the slightest clue. Instead, he will remain silent until all the evidence is collected and is extremely cautious.
So by the same token, at this stage, even if Jiang Xia realizes that someone is behind the case, as long as he has not found evidence, the "mastermind" will still be safe, at least he will not attract the attention of the police.
And this time...
Subaru Okiya touched his chin and felt that based on what happened today, he could have been a timid passerby - for example, for some reason, he witnessed a burial scene or discovered clues at the construction site, but because he did not want to get into trouble, he did not call the police or dare to contact the victim's family. He had to bring a few people here and wait for an opportunity to expose the situation.
Also, although Okiya Subaru had never seen what Usa looked like when he was on a mission, he knew that in the past, when a new boss was hiding behind the scenes and stirring up trouble, he must have been hiding very deeply.
——Therefore, Jiang Xia will certainly feel suspicious and wary of the suspicious "Okiya Subaru", but on the other hand, Jiang Xia may also keenly feel a sense of incongruity because the characteristics of "Okiya Subaru" and the previous "mastermind" do not match.
In short, as long as he doesn't repeat the same behavior over and over again, it won't be easy for Jiang Xia to see through him. Even if he does... on the bright side, Jiang Xia might be able to see through Usa's conspiracy and find out that Okiya Subaru is just an innocent scapegoat...
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru gained a little more confidence to survive.
But then he thought about it, the frequency of his missions and whether he would meet Jiang Xia during the missions were actually not up to him. It was all Wu Zuo who was behind the scenes... The boss of the organization was really unreliable, so he had better hold on to the thighs of the FBI and run away.
While thinking, Subaru Okiya quickly left under the suspicious gazes of the detectives behind him, secretly longing for the beautiful country without Usa.
…
Not long after he left, Jiang Xia also said goodbye to the police and returned to Beika Town with his two children.
