Chapter 783 Tracking Techniques
Jiang Xia always felt that if she was not present when Okiya Subaru and Akai Shuichi came into contact.
So, rather than "relying on transmitters and eavesdroppers to intercept intelligence", it is more likely that those surveillance props will be quietly disposed of by Akai Shuichi. If you want to continue tracking, you will have to wait for the next mission.
...In short, it is best to recycle those little things in time before they are discovered.
——Okiya Subaru didn't have the habit of checking himself all the time, but that was because no one had come into close contact with him in the past few days. The only one who was close enough to quietly place a bug on him was a cat that occasionally passed by.
In this case, if the transmitter on Subaru Okiya is discovered, the cat may be suspected by some cautious people with good intuition... This is not a good thing. After all, among all the vests currently added together, only the cat is the most suitable for tracking - it doesn't even need to hide its body deliberately. If it meets someone who is friendly to cats, it doesn't have to walk by itself, it can just lie on the person's shoulder and take a ride.
When they first met, Jiang Xia wanted to use a cat to find Okiya Subaru's residence.
It's a pity that at that time, Okiya Subaru was infected by his new boss's professionalism and became too dedicated. He stayed near the mission target and even stayed in a hotel... Now that the mission is over, he is finally going back to his old nest.
…
The taxi soon arrived at Beika-cho.
After sending the two children away, Jiang Xia returned home.
Then he went in through the front door and slipped out the back door, ready to follow.
…
Cupido Town.
In the cafe next to Watanuki's family.
Although it's already dark, there's still some time before the store closes.
Sitting in the corner, Subaru Okiya was typing away on his paper with a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.
You are most efficient when you take a break from your busy schedule.
——These past few days, Subaru Okiya has been prioritizing Usa's assignment. Compared to the life threat hanging over his head, thesis writing has become the "idleness" that people like... This contrast is so strong that now, even though Usa's assignment has been completed, as long as he sits in this seat in the cafe, Subaru Okiya can still feel the happiness he felt when writing thesis a few days ago, and his efficiency is much higher than usual.
...Of course, this was just one of the reasons why he didn't leave immediately.
Another reason is that the police are still dealing with the follow-up at the construction site and with the Minami Kanji family.
——Since this matter has not been completely concluded, Okiya Subaru feels that he needs to watch it until the last moment to prevent any accidents. He has always been a cautious person.
…
A few hours passed.
When the cafe was about to close, the police finally retreated one after another.
Subaru Okiya looked at the situation over there from afar, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Uzo: [Yoshikazu Watanuki’s crimes were exposed and he has been arrested].
Not long after, the cell phone rang.
Okiya Subaru quickly clicked on the light to check, and found that the other party only replied:
[good]
“…”
Subaru Okiya read this simple word over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out Usa's true tone and mood.
Fortunately, one thing is certain.
——The mission was finally completed successfully...
Subaru Okiya leaned back in his chair, took a sip of coffee, and slowly exhaled, feeling as if an invisible burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
He put away his computer and prepared to go home.
As I walked to the door of the store, I saw something stepping on the billboard next to me out of the corner of my eye.
This time, Okiya Subaru was much calmer.
He turned his head and saw a familiar dark cloud snow cat.
The cat didn't have a cat tag around its neck, and looked like a free cat that regarded the area as its territory. When the two looked at each other, the cat wagged its tail as usual, as if to say hello to him.
Okiya Subaru nodded to the cat in a good mood.
In the past two days, Subaru Okiya often saw this cat. Sometimes the cat would sneak into the coffee shop, lie next to his seat, and stare at his mobile phone or computer screen, looking like it has a very high IQ among cats and wants to associate with humans.
That cafe is not a cat cafe. Normally, pets are not allowed in. But cats walk quietly and are very good at hiding. I think as long as no customers report it, it can stay safely in the cafe.
Subaru Okiya didn't act as the informant - he didn't hate cats, and he had been under a lot of pressure these past two days, and having a mysterious cat around would be just the right way to relieve his stress.
However, today was the last time they met. After the mission was completed, there was no need for him to continue coming here.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Thinking of this, he was actually a little reluctant... Hiss, in fact, when I need to make up for the thesis in the future, I can come to this store to sit down. On the one hand, it can improve efficiency, and on the other hand, if Jiang Xia really thinks that "Okiya Subaru" is suspicious because of what happened today, then if I show up in this area more often, wouldn't it increase the possibility that "Okiya Subaru often appears here and just accidentally discovered the body"?
…
Okiya Subaru thought as he walked towards the parking lot.
Then soon, when he was preparing to go home, he suddenly realized that he was not the only one who felt reluctant to leave.
——The black cat with white claws actually followed.
The moment he opened the car door, she jumped into the car very naturally, then lay comfortably on the passenger seat, looking like she was going to hitchhike.
Seeing that Okiya Subaru had frozen in his movements, it turned its head and glanced at him, as if urging him in dissatisfaction.
Okiya Subaru: "...?"
……What's the meaning?
Is this cat dependent on him?
...Hehe, you don't think that he, who looks like a good-tempered human, would just pick up a strange cat and take it home.
…
Five minutes later.
Subaru Okiya was driving on his way home.
Wuyun Taxue was lying on the passenger seat, yawning.
“……”Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses silently.
...He really wouldn't pick up a strange cat and take it home. He's not that casual a person.
But after a few days, I found that this cat and I have a good relationship. Given the frequency of stray cats meeting people, it is definitely a familiar cat... In addition, it is rare to meet a cat that is so close to people. Since I am about to join the FBI and leave my hometown, taking the cat I picked up from my hometown with me can help ease my homesickness...
Next to him, Jiang Xia didn't understand Okiya Subaru's complicated feelings.
Originally, he had thought that if Okiya Subaru would accept a cat hitchhiking, then he could just take a ride and follow him.
If that doesn't work, I'll just take advantage of Okiya Subaru's carelessness, spread out like a cat pancake, and hide anywhere on the car. Anyway, I'll be done if I follow him to the place.
…
As expected, the car did not drive towards the "Trojan Manor" where "Okiya Subaru" lived in the original world line.
Instead, we drove through the city center and headed for Toyoei-cho, which is not far from Touto University and is right between the university and the bustling downtown area, making it convenient to go to both places.
