Chapter 770 Subaru Okiya: Is Uzo going to bury me? Please vote for me (▽`)

On this basis, Subaru Okiya calmly examined himself and felt that he might be able to get away with it.

 —Since receiving this assignment, he has maintained his original style of conduct.

As for now...he is indeed panicking because he is "worried about being found out as a kid", but at the moment, the emotion of "panic" is actually very normal.

—Thinking that he was digging for treasure, he suddenly dug up a corpse. His boss held him down and looked at the rotting corpse for a long time, and was given the most heart-wrenching comfort and warning in a gentle tone...At this time, don't panic. It's weird that it's empty.

 …

After finishing the digging of the hole, Subaru Okiya stood up and glanced at the cosmos seedlings on the ground.

Green twigs swayed in the wind, and fell into Okiya Subaru's eyes, but they had lost any sense of beauty and were full of gloomy aura, just like the young man in black next to him.

Jiang Xia also glanced at the cosmos seedlings and observed 0.5 seconds of silence for the unfortunate body below.

Then he turned his head and looked at Okiya Subaru next to him.

Okiya Subaru tensed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Uzo raised his hand and patted him: "Get out of here first."

 …

On the way, Subaru Okiya heard the whole story of the case—including almost all the details from beginning to end.

 As he listened, he became more and more certain of his previous conjecture.

- This is definitely not information that can be obtained by "accidentally passing by nearby and seeing Yiichi Watanuki burying the body"... As for Uzo, after discovering the burying behavior, he was like a detective, verifying every link one by one, That's even more impossible - even if Uzo looked like a cadre with no apparent identity and lurking in the shadows, he would never do such a conspicuous thing.

In short, it is better than a lucky person who "passes by and accidentally sees the information of buried corpses". Uzo is more like a leader hiding in the shadows and holding the script. He used miraculous techniques to plant the seeds of a case, causing it to germinate and expand, and then watched it gradually absorb the greed, murderous intent and blood around it, and finally grew into a field that could completely separate Uzo and the police. Thin vines.

 In the end, whoever looks at it will only think that this is a festival between the deceased and the murderer, and will not guess that behind the branches and leaves, there is a pair of joyful eyes that watch everything quietly.

While Okiya Subaru was sweating coldly while listening.

The folding shovel used for digging was carefully wiped clean by Uzo and given to him as a "meeting gift".

Although Jiang Xia himself simply felt that it was inconvenient to carry a heavy shovel with an elusive thing like a vest.

 But the person who received the gift seemed to have thought of a lot. Subaru Okiya's smile was a bit stiff in his politeness, and the way he held the shovel looked exactly like he was holding a grenade, with the fuse already pulled out.

Under Okiya Subaru’s nervous gaze, his superior’s observation of him seemed to have finally come to an end.

 “Okay, that’s it for today.” Uzo said:

“The murderer will definitely be punished, sooner or later, and what you have to do is to speed up the process without leaving any trace, and let him be arrested smoothly and rationally before the deadline.

“Of course, if during this process, you unfortunately leave traces and are caught by the police with real evidence... I hope you will be more sensible by then and not put additional burden on us.”

“…” Subaru Okiya smiled humbly and nodded, “Definitely.”

 …

As they were talking, they had already walked out of a street and passed the corner.

Okiya Subaru turned the corner and took two steps, when he suddenly felt that something was not right.

 Looking back, Uzoo had not followed.

　　　…?”

Okiya Subaru hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to leave quickly, but he was worried that if Uzo didn't leave and was just tying his shoes, or was distracted by something nearby, he stopped temporarily... He had no choice but to turn back to the intersection.

 Then he looked at both sides and was slightly startled.

 —Uzo is missing.

Looking around, the streets of the old city were deserted. A few crows landed on the wires in the distance. They were alarmed by the engineering graduate student holding a shovel, and looked here with a low cry.

Okiya Subaru silently got goosebumps all over his body.

 Something on the wall suddenly moved.

Okiya Subaru's eyes sharpened, he suddenly clenched the heavy folding shovel in his hand, and unfolded it with a click.

 Looking up, I saw a cat leisurely passing by the wall.

 The cat is completely black except for four white paws. It seemed to be attracted by Okiya Subaru's alert look. He hesitated and stopped, turned his head and looked over, wagging his tail in confusion.

　　　…”…It’s a cat.

Okiya Subaru breathed a sigh of relief, looked away, and looked around again, feeling that Uzo should have left.

 He did not stop and walked quickly to the parking lot, looking for his car.

The dark cloud on the wall seemed to have become interested in him during the previous confrontation.

The cat jumped off the fence lightly, ran to a place two or three meters away from Okiya Subaru, and followed behind in a swaggering manner.

 …

 Although he got a tracking vest that would not arouse suspicion.

 But Jiang Xia felt that there might not be much gain from this tracking.

Okiya Subaru seems to like to think too much, and although this kind of brain-filling monster will always come up with some weird things, generally speaking, he is more cautious.

Most people know that it is easiest to be followed and observed when you have just met a mysterious person. Even if the cat you encounter is innocent, in modern society, there may be bug cameras and the like.

In other words, if Subaru Okiya really has contact with Shuichi Akai, then no matter how panicked he is at this time, he is unlikely to go to Shuichi Akai. On the other hand, even if he wanted to look for it, Akai Shuichi would probably realize this and disappear consciously.

So Jiang Xia just wanted to follow along, find the real place where Okiya Subaru currently lives, and wait and see.

However, he soon discovered that even this plan was not completed.

—After the two "people" separated, Subaru Okiya returned to the street where his target was and took a look. After that, he went to a nearby hotel and booked a room.

Throwing the shovel and other luggage into the room, Subaru Okiya took his computer and returned to the coffee shop that was convenient for surveillance, and began to type papers while surveillance. Judging from the emails he exchanged with his professor on the way, the paper is due next week, and he has only just finished writing it.

 Jiangxia: “…”

Just now, when the clerk wasn't paying attention, he slipped into the cafe wearing a cat vest and stared at Subaru Okiya's computer screen.

Then he quickly regretted his decision to follow and follow him, and yawned out of boredom.

Feeling that Subaru Okiya would not leave for a while, Jiang Xia took the time to return to the main body, went to Dr. Agasa's house, and then to the detective agency, and distributed a batch of cats to the ladies who had been waiting for a long time.
