Chapter 12 He Will

When the golden sunlight breaks through the clouds, the forest city resting in the darkness is awakened, and the early-rising animals get busy in the morning mist that has not yet dispersed.

After the discussion, the detective team also announced that they would split up.

Scotland went to investigate the files, while Black Cat Detective and Rika Yada went to the hospital to visit Grandma Mata.

Grandma Youjiang is an elderly dolphin, and the traces of time are particularly obvious on her body.

The dolphin's skin, which seemed to be always smooth and moist, was now covered with deep wrinkles of age, and its open eyes were fixed as if they could not find the focus, like a richly colored puppet.

It was not until Rika Tanida helped her sit up that she came to her senses. She patted Rika Tanida's paws with her pectoral fins and said hoarsely as if she had regained consciousness: "Sorry to bother you, Rika."

"Grandma Youjiang has never been a problem for me." The small squirrel was almost invisible to the dolphin. She spoke in a gentle tone as if she was coaxing a child, "Grandma, did you sleep well last night? Is there any pain anywhere in your body?"

A tear suddenly rolled down Grandma Youjiang's cheek. She looked at Yada Rika, but it seemed like she was looking at a faraway place. She kept saying, "Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou... come back to see mommy..."

"You must be having a hard time out there, my poor Youzhi..."

“Don’t go…”

Her voice became more and more choked, and it was almost impossible to hear what she was saying. Her pectoral fins were eager to grab Rika Yada's claws.

If the guardrail hadn't stopped her from moving too much, she would have fallen off the bed.

Rika Tanida patiently and skillfully comforted her, and after Grandma Youjiang fell asleep, she said to the Black Cat Detective, "I'm sorry, you saw it too, Grandma Youjiang is no longer able to have a normal conversation now."

Detective Black Cat nodded. "You will take care of her in the hospital, right? I can go to the school by myself."

Rika Yada was a little worried, "If you're the only one here, they may not allow animals from other places to enter the school."

"Don't worry, there will be clues delivered to your door."

"ah?"

Detective Black Cat wasn't kidding.

Jiang Haozhi went to the same junior high and high school.

This school in Forest City, which is famous for its strictness, not only let the Black Cat in easily, but also found the teacher who was Jiang Haozhi's homeroom teacher in the files for him.

Thirty years have passed and the teacher is now retired, but his eyes are still bright and he does not look old at all.

He also sighed when talking about this matter: "The principal asked me to tell you because of a small ability of mine.

I have a good memory and I remember almost every student I taught. I can still remember the first class I taught, which had 38 animals, and I can tell which ones were noisy, which ones were quiet, which ones studied well, and which ones had poor grades.

The only person who appeared was Jiang Haozhi. All the information showed that he was my student, but I had no impression of him at all.

None of his classmates, friends who had taken photos with him, and other teachers had any impression of him.

I think he existed, but our memory of him has disappeared.

I have been wanting to find him for years, and even went outside Forest City to look for him through academic exchanges. Although there was no result, I also noticed something else. "

The old teacher took out a fairly new notebook from his briefcase and handed it to Black Cat Detective.

"I wrote this down, but there's obviously a secret behind it that I can't touch, so I've never shown this record to any animal.

I hope this can help you, help Yujiang Haozhi, and...the other animals that have disappeared from our memories."

Detective Black Cat left the school with the notebook.

It records some other animals that are in the same situation as Youjiang Haozhi.

However, these animals were not as lucky as Jiang Haozhi. The ones who remembered them were not their close relatives who depended on them for survival, but animals with a close relationship such as classmates and colleagues.

Therefore, after confirming that they had encountered an event similar to an urban legend and that they could not solve it, these animals chose to forget about it and focus on their own lives.

The occupations of the animals recorded in the book are beyond the reach of teachers who focus on teaching in schools, let alone learning the secrets.

Apparently, the hand behind him had given him the clue directly.

When Detective Black Cat questioned Samoyed and Squirrel yesterday, they both pointed to the same person - Tsukida Osamu.

Under Scotland's encouraging smile, Rika Yada hesitantly expressed her own speculation:

"Grandpa Tsukida's attitude is very strange. I don't know Hiroyuki Matae, but Grandma Matae is really very nice, and I believe her son is a good child. Even Aunt Yuan Tiao thinks so, why does Grandpa Tsukida say that he would be rebellious and run away from home?"

"That's one aspect of it," Scotland said. "But it's also very easy to refute. It can be said that Tsukida Osamu was a poor student in the important third year of high school. He couldn't bear the pressure from his mother's expectations and wanted to escape from home."

When Rika Yada looked at Samoyed's cute face again, she felt that even the faint smile was covered with a layer of shadow.

Scotland continued, "Before Hiroyuki Matae disappeared, the three of them had no problems with Grandma Matae. The only abnormality was the timing of Tsukida Osamu's frequent stays here.

He is very rich and owns many properties. Compared with other properties, this place does not attract him, so he rarely comes to live in the old house before.

So, can I assume that from the beginning until now, he has been staying here frequently, all for Jiang Haozhi?"

Yada Rika was puzzled: "But what is it about Jiang Haozhi that can attract him? Is it his talent for painting?"

Scotland did not answer. His round blue eyes were no longer covered by the Samoyed's naturally cute and approachable filters, revealing his sharp and upturned eyes. He looked at the Black Cat Detective seriously:

"Detective Tiaoye, what do you think?"

Detective Jouno found this case very interesting.

Rika Yada is the one with the least information.

She couldn't imagine that the supernatural factors behind this missing case were the reason why members of two different organizations, Tsukida Osamu and Scotland, gathered together.

The player has never solved a case and has no interest in detective games or the completely degraded detective profession under future technology, but he is smart.

Now let’s review it.

The reason why Forest City is so closed is that there are two organizations that need to control the city and obtain some unusual seedlings from it.

It is still unknown what abilities these seedlings possess, but according to information provided by the old teachers, their awakening times are also different.

But when they awaken their abilities, they will erase a large portion of their memories, and only a few random animals will remember them.

The first organization is the one that Tsukida Osamu is in, which has already mastered the process of screening these talents and recruiting them.

Tsukida Osamu did not appear after Hiroyuki Matae went missing. He first became an elder whom Hiroyuki Matae respected and trusted, and then Hiroyuki Matae went missing.

It is very likely that Hiroyuki Matae was taken away by him, but escaped from him. Tsukida Osamu lived here for a long time, responsible for waiting for Hiroyuki Matae by monitoring Grandma Matae.

Moreover, Jiang Haozhi is very capable, so capable that even Tsukida Osamu is jealous of him.

Otherwise, it would be very easy for Tsukida Osamu to deal with Grandma Matae directly. He did not dare to do so to lure out Matae Hiroyuki because he was afraid of retaliation.

The second organization is Scotland's organization, which has not yet mastered this ability but is eyeing the previous organization.

After all, gin and vodka are also wine, and Scotch is also wine, or a bottle of wine that is about to be broken, so let's just call their organization a winery.

The winery collected so much data after the disappearances, which was obviously many steps late, but the ability to screen young talents they wanted to obtain was probably the core of the first organization.

Toshika Yada wants to hire an outside detective to investigate the missing case of Hiroyuki Matae. The winery immediately arranges for a Scottish who "claims to have seen Hiroyuki Matae recently" to join the investigation with full justification.

This time, he even passed the clue to him openly through the old teacher, firstly to show him his skills and strength, and secondly to hope that his investigation would lead to Jiang Haozhi again.

After all, in order for Tsukida Osamu to monitor Grandma Matae for such a long time, Matae Hiroshi must have appeared in the middle and used himself to intimidate them.

Jiang Haozhi has come this far, so there is no need to explain his feelings for Grandma Jiang.

Now, grandma Jiang's time is running out. Will Jiang Haozhi come out to see his mother for the last time?

Knowing that once he appeared, there would be a vortex of struggle between the two organizations ahead.

——He will.

This is the answer that all animals can guess.
