Chapter 1110 Chapter 1118 [Vengeance Notebook]
Subaru Okiya thought to himself: Usa's cat is here, which probably means Usa is here.
——This means that the case just now was indeed not a coincidence.
…
Shuichi Akai didn't have so many thoughts.
On the contrary, he felt that since Wu Zuo had said that he would condone the "secrets" of his subordinates, the probability that Wu Zuo would immediately take action against "Okiya Subaru" was actually not high - ruthless cadres who wanted to kill their subordinates had plenty of opportunities. Compared to this, Akai Shuichi was more worried that when he was away, Wu Zuo would suddenly come to interview, and then find some fatal problems from Okiya Subaru's abnormality.
So at this time, Akai Shuichi calmly proposed another possibility:
"I remember you kept it for a few days before. Maybe it was at that time that the cat found your home. In fact, when I was watching people outside recently, I occasionally saw cats with similar patterns passing by from a distance and visiting various households, especially around Beihua Town and Haido Town. I often saw it.
"If you think about it, it might just be walking by your house and taking a look around.
"Also, it's possible that it's not Uzo's cat at all, but just happens to have the same fur color - cats have a strong reproductive capacity, and as litters multiply, there will always be many cats with similar fur colors in an area."
Besides, Shuichi Akai thought secretly: After all, it's just a cat.
If it was a dog, it might have received some training and went to Okiya Subaru's house with some purpose.
But the cat…even Uzo couldn’t have trained a cat to this extent—that man was an organized crime planner and a killer who understood people’s hearts, not an animal keeper or a circus trainer.
Rather than panicking about a "Usa's cat", Shuichi Akai was thinking more about how to take the opportunity to install a transmitter on the cat and follow his way to Usa's lair.
“…” Unfortunately, since Wu Zuo dared to keep a pet, he probably wouldn’t make such an obvious mistake.
Moreover, it is currently at a critical period when the secret of "Okiya Subaru" has been exposed and he is being watched by Usa. At this time, whether it is for Akai Shuichi or Okiya Subaru, it is the best choice to stay quiet for the time being.
Shuichi Akai stroked the handle of the gun and regretfully suppressed the idea.
…
In an apartment far away.
After listening to Shuichi Akai's statement, Subaru Okiya stared at the dark cloud snow cat in front of him for a long time, but he still couldn't be sure whether this was his boss's cat.
Okiya Subaru: “…” Anyway, to be on the safe side, we should treat it in a friendly way first.
And in the final analysis, the one who was scary was actually Uzo, so what was wrong with the cat? ——Strictly speaking, this cat and I should be considered colleagues. If we round it off, we can be considered to be in the same boat. We should be more friendly to each other...
After muttering like this for a long time, Subaru Okiya finally couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch the cat's head with lightning speed.
After that, he withdrew his hand at almost the same speed, pushed his glasses, and looked around calmly. When he didn't notice Uzo coming out to claim sovereignty over the cat, he relaxed a little.
Subaru Okiya: "..." I hope it's true as Mr. Akai said, the cat just happened to pass by and the case just happened by chance.
...In short, don't let him meet Uzo again today, or be involved in the script written by Uzo.
Subaru Okiya secretly touched his boss's cat while praying silently in his heart.
…
Jiang Xia was not aware of the speculation and panic about the true or false "Okiya Subaru", nor did he care much about it.
Originally, he planned to visit Okiya Subaru's home under the "Usa" vest of Jinpei Matsuda.
However, if Jinpei Matsuda opens the puppet, Jinpei Matsuda's "Uzo" can only move but cannot speak human language, which makes it inconvenient to have friendly exchanges with my younger brother.
If Jiang Xia were to possess the puppet himself, his real body would become sluggish and idle.
After solving the case and leaving the apartment, Jiang Xia looked at the energetic Mao Lilan, and then looked at Okiya Subaru's apartment, feeling a little conflicted.
On second thought, the occupancy rate of this apartment is not high, and at a glance, there is no one inside who looks murderous at the moment - compared to staying at home with his little brother, Hattori Heiji, who is about to arrive, is indeed more attractive.
Jiang Xia: "..." And just now, when they were talking casually before they parted, Okiya Subaru, for some unknown reason, actually said that if there was a murder case, he would contact him immediately...
Very aware.
Jiang Xia gave Okiya Subaru 10 points for his impression of her in his heart and decided not to scare him this time.
In the end, he just made a cat out of clay puppets, and let the cat take his place to visit his younger brother who had been staying indoors recently. He also stayed for a while to see if Akai Shuichi had been called to the door.
…
After leaving Okiya Subaru's apartment, Jiang Xia looked at the time and took Mao Li Ran straight to the station.
When they came to pick him up at the station just now, Hattori Heiji was late by dozens of minutes because he encountered a theft during his journey.
Now, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha are fine, but Jiangxia and Mao Li Ran have encountered another murder case... Even if the case is solved quickly, there are still many things to deal with, from waiting for the police to arrive at the scene to finishing the case.
…
In short, when Jiang Xia and Mao Li Ran arrived at the station, they searched along the exit for a while but did not see Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.
"I just sent an email to Kazuha, telling her we might be late for a while."
Mao Lilan had been calling the police for such a long time that her hand speed was amazing. Moreover, Gu Ren was also very experienced. After all, his schedule was often delayed by sudden cases. "Maybe they went to the rest area to sit down, or were just wandering around."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and planned to contact her friend in Osaka to ask about the situation.
However, before opening the address book, Mao Lilan suddenly said "Hmm?" in confusion:
"Hattori sent me an email."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
...Shouldn't we send it to him first as the main force who comes to pick up the team?
How did it get to Mao Lilan in a roundabout way?
"…" It seems that after not seeing him for a while, Hattori-san has become introverted again... The enthusiastic Osaka people have become uncommunicative. How can this be? I have to talk to him about our relationship later.
Jiang Xia secretly made a note of this in his heart, and then he leaned over to look at the email that Mao Lilan received:
[Since there is a case, you don't have to worry, just handle it seriously. You can't make mistakes in this kind of thing, you have to be cautious.
We had an appointment with other people before, and now we are almost late, so I will leave immediately - you guys should go home soon, thank you for picking me up at the station. ]
"Hattori seems to be quite busy." Mao Lilan was a little surprised. However, thinking about Jiang Xia who was often busy and not seen, she felt that this seemed normal - Hattori Heiji was also a detective.
