Chapter 777 How many people died around you?
! Okiya Subaru: "..."
Why did you suddenly bring up his sad story...
The paper is indeed on the verge of death.
But compared to the professor who only talks but does not act, Uzo on the other side is the real "deadline". When the two collide, he must give priority to the task. After all, if the task is not completed, of course, the paper will not be written.
...However, it is of course difficult to state this reason directly.
Subaru Okiya pushed his glasses and showed a gentle and helpless good-guy smile: "I have always wanted to have a sister. Every time I see other people's sisters, I always envy them. Mr. Koda suddenly encountered this kind of thing... Although I didn't know him before, I also want to contribute a little bit of my strength... As for the thesis, it is actually the fastest to write it on the last day. I have prepared all the basic materials, and I just need to organize them into the thesis when the time comes."
Jiang Xia: “…”
The reason is a bit ridiculous, but coupled with that sincere expression, it seems quite credible... Considering that this is a world where people can kill for all kinds of trivial reasons, it is actually very reasonable to give up the thesis and get involved in a troublesome case just to "want a sister".
Jiang Xia felt that this subordinate was okay, so he nodded and agreed to let him join the case-solving team.
By the way, he shared his intelligence and thoughts with Subaru Okiya: "I don't think Mr. Koda is lying, and Mr. Watanuki's reaction is indeed a bit strange... But everything depends on evidence. Although I believe in my observation, if the object of observation itself has problems - for example, Mr. Koda misses his sister too much and has a distorted perception of the facts, then the observation results will naturally be distorted, so it is necessary to continue the investigation.
"So I plan to go to Ms. Koda's company and ask her colleagues to verify where Ms. Koda went after get off work and what happened before she disappeared. From what Mr. Koda said, Koda Sanae didn't get off work until 8 p.m. She had a heavy workload and occasionally encountered bad-tempered clients. If she disappeared because of something else, such as suicide due to too much pressure or emotional disputes, if I ask her colleagues directly, I should be able to find clues from the situation that day.
"In this case, there will be a big deviation between listening to Masao Koda's retelling and listening directly to colleagues’ stories. Mr. Koda obviously cares about his sister very much. It would be difficult for him to accept that his sister committed suicide or had an accident. He would rather follow the clue of Watanuki Yoshiichi... Of course, compared to accidents, the probability of problems on Mr. Watanuki's side is indeed not low..."
At this point, Jiang Xia seemed to remember something, took out his cell phone, and started typing an email.
The two walked side by side, Okiya Subaru was slightly taller. He waited for a while, then naturally turned his eyes and secretly glanced at Jiang Xia's mobile phone screen.
In the email that Jiang Xia was writing, the recipient was "Officer Sato", who should be the female police officer from before.
The content is:
[To be on the safe side, in addition to Mr. Watanuki's yard, let's also take the opportunity to look around nearby - the client was right about one thing, Mr. Watanuki's villa does not have a garage, he really can't drive, and he doesn't plan to learn. If he really killed someone, the body is likely not too far from home. In addition, you can ask people nearby if Yoshikazu Watanuki has been traveling with a huge box recently]
The more books you read, the faster you will read.
Before Jiang Xia sent the email, when he was checking it as usual, Okiya Subaru also scanned the contents.
He withdrew his gaze and felt more at ease.
——No matter from which perspective, Jiang Xia’s ideas for solving cases are independent, clear, and well-founded.
In other words, Jiang Xia really solved the case on his own, instead of Wu Zuo secretly giving the script to his subordinates.
It seems that my previous inference was not wrong. Jiang Xia was not Wu Zuo's subordinate.
After confirming this conclusion once again, Okiya Subaru relaxed a lot.
Turning his eyes away from Jiang Xia, he suddenly realized something.
When he lowered his head, he saw the two children following Jiang Xia were looking at him. He didn't know how long they had been staring at him.
Okiya Subaru smiled at them, feeling a little guilty but thinking it wasn't a big deal.
Although his behavior just now was not very popular, it was not suspicious. According to Subaru Okiya's observation, many people actually have the habit of peeking at other people's screens, such as one of his direct seniors... Speaking of which, the Obon Festival is coming soon, and he must take time to visit the senior's grave. The senior is a good person, but he is too nosy to be a headache. If he hadn't peeked at the tutor's emails and seen the terrible handle, he wouldn't have been silenced by the irritable tutor... Hmm?
Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru's steps stiffened slightly.
But things soon returned to normal.
"..." Jiang Xia was not someone who could not stand the light of day. What he sent was a perfectly normal email. The young detective was not the kind of lawless lunatic who would kill anyone at will. He only took a risk and took a peek because he was worried about the progress of the mission. It's okay. It shouldn't be a big deal.
Subaru Okiya sighed inwardly, thinking that the only thing that worried him was that his behavior just now would lead the two children astray and make them think that it was normal to peek at other people's screens. However...
Okiya Subaru recalled the way the two children stared at him: one was slightly wary, the other was wary but also looked disdainful.
"..." Well, this kind of attitude probably won't lead to bad things, the only thing that will be harmed is my own image... Fortunately, after the mission is over, I won't have too many interactions with these people who are much younger than me, so it doesn't matter if I die socially.
Subaru Okiya, with his not-too-thick skin, continued to follow Jiang Xia's crime-solving team silently, without leaving, ready to give hints when the opportunity arose.
...all for Uzo's mission.
He is still young, he doesn't want to die yet...
…
A group of people with different thoughts soon came to the securities company where Sanae Koda worked before her death.
Although it was late, fortunately this company was very competitive and the overtime hours were long enough, so now no one left except the boss.
Jiang Xia successfully found Sanae Koda's colleague.
"It's Sanae's business again..."
Inoue Yoshiko had been questioned several times by the police and Koda Masao, and she felt a little annoyed when she heard this topic.
But when she turned around, she saw that the person who came this time was the famous detective who often appeared on TV, with two cute children, and her mood eased a little.
Inoue Yoshiko bent down, pinched Conan and Huihara Ai's faces, and patiently answered: "I have actually said this several times. Sanae got off work at around 8 o'clock that day and said she was going to a client's house. I don't know what happened afterwards, such as whether she arrived at Mr. Watanuki's place."
