Chapter 772: My subordinates really abide by the law. Please give me monthly votesヾ(●｀●)~

“Sanae’s disappearance must be because she was killed by Giichi Watanuki!

"—I asked from Sanae's branch manager that the stocks my sister recommended to Watanuki Yiichi fell a lot. Watanuki Yiichi angrily asked Sanae to compensate for his losses, so she ran to Watanuki after get off work. Communicate at home.

“I didn’t expect Sanae to be killed by Giichi Watanuki at first. After going to Sanae’s company, I just followed the clues provided by those colleagues and found Giichi Watanuki, wanting to ask where Sanae went after leaving his home.

“However, this **** said that Sanae didn’t even look for him that night—isn’t this a case of guilty conscience?!

"It must have been when Sanae went to his house. He insisted on compensation from Sanae, but Sanae didn't, so he killed someone and buried the body in his yard!"

Toru Amuro, who had just walked to the door: "..."

Just now, he passed by here and wanted to come in to get a box of listening devices - the ones he brought before happened to be out of power.

As he approached, he found that the door was open and Jiang Xia was in the detective office. Amuro Toru paused and wanted to walk a few more steps to find Yuya Kazami to get it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard words that had a strong aura of crime.

　　　…”

 What corpse?

 What is buried in the yard?

The curiosity of a detective and the sense of responsibility brought by his job made Toru Amuro feel that after the battle between heaven and man in his heart, he finally couldn't help but push the door open and get closer to listen.

Jiang Xia saw him coming in and nodded towards him.

For some reason, Toru Amuro always felt like there was a little more smile on his face. He caught sight of this change with sharp eyes, and his movements froze slightly.

...If I remember correctly, when Jiang Xia encountered a case in the past, he could not help but show a similar happy expression. It seemed that it was because of this kind of thing that he could deeply experience the feeling of "a detective standing in the sun". an identity.

Theoretically speaking, when a case is solved, the victim can rest in peace, the murderer is brought to justice, and the police do not have to work overtime... No matter how you look at it, it is not a bad thing, but once it is associated with the word "Jiangxia", it will inevitably evoke Amuro revealed some painful memories.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he instinctively looked away from Jiang Xia and turned to the client opposite the sofa.

Just now, Toru Amuro heard the second half of the other party's sentence.

He asked, half puzzled and half changing the subject: "Why do you think so? Is there anything wrong in the yard? Or did someone witness the burial of the body?"

 “No one witnessed it directly, this is what I deduced.”

Koda Masao tapped his head with his index finger and felt that this newly arrived blond wage earner had a lot of problems. However, in order to find the missing Koda Sanae, Koda Masao did not mind others participating in the process of "finding the body" and stated the basis for his speculation:

“I’ve checked and it turns out that Watanuki Yiichi couldn’t drive and it would be difficult to transport the body, so the body must be near his home.”

“Also, I found a witness.

“—At two o’clock in the morning on the 8th, the night Sanae disappeared, an office worker who lived nearby happened to pass through the alley next to Watanuki Yiichi’s yard.

“At that time, he heard the sound of shovels digging holes in Watanuki Yiichi’s yard.

“And between 0 and 3 o’clock that night, emergency construction happened to be going on on the road outside. Giichi Watanuki must have used the noise to cover up the situation and dug a hole in his yard to bury the body!”

"So that's it..." Toru Amuro listened, always feeling that something was wrong, "If there are witnesses, why don't you go to the police and apply for a search?"

 Instead, he ran over to find the detective...

 When talking about this topic, Masao Koda's face suddenly darkened. He was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "I called the police, but Mr. Mochida - the witness - was very drunk that night. The police believed that his testimony could not be effective in this situation, so they just called Yoshitsune Watanagi over. I made some routine inquiries... How stupid, what murderer would take the initiative to admit that he killed someone!"

“…” Toru Amuro scratched his face in embarrassment. People who are drunk will lose their ability to act. Testimonies in this state cannot be used. This is a rule.

 But when he remembered that there was Jiang Xia, a peripheral member next to him, and that he was now an organization cadre who was fighting against the police, Toru Amuro could only scold him sincerely: "Indeed."

Jiang Xia took a sip from the teacup and watched silently.

　　Masao Koda received support and looked slightly relieved.

 He lit up a cigarette and took a puff, acting like a lonely detective:

“According to my observation and investigation, Watanuki Yiichi has always lived alone. In the past, he often went out for walks or bought groceries.

"But since the day Sanae disappeared, he has been staying at home and staying at home. He only goes to Miwa Central Hospital every Saturday."

 Speaking of this, Koda Masao suddenly sat up straight, slapped the table and looked at Jiang Xia:

“Today happens to be the day when Yiichi Watanuki goes out, sneak in with me and find the body! Of course, I will do the work of digging up the body myself!”

Jiang Xia sat up straight and opened her mouth to speak.

 “Sorry, this is illegal.”

 A voice cut in from the side.

Toru Amuro suddenly spoke up before Jiang Xia, and politely rejected the client's request.

 …Although Jiang Xia is still a minor, she is no longer a child after all. People of this age are not allowed to smoke or drink, but they can already be detained for illegally entering a house.

For members of the organization, being targeted by the police is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. Maybe if Jiang Xia gets in, the clean-up team will rush to the door.

In short, even if it is illegal, you will never be caught.

For example, if you want to get involved in this matter, you can sneak into the yard late at night and investigate secretly when the owner is unprepared, but you cannot agree to Koda Masao in broad daylight and go with the client to become an outlaw.

 After all, it was their first time contacting the client, and they didn’t know the other person’s character. If the other party bites back after being arrested... or even thinks in the dark, if this client is himself a tool sent by some forces who don't like Jiang Xia to blackmail him, then it would be too reckless to agree to the client rashly.

Beside him, the righteous young detective was slightly startled when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Toru Amuro was very relieved: his subordinates were very obedient, unlike some passionate young people who liked to fight the law openly and openly.

However, Jiang Xia still didn’t want to refuse the commission.

 He thought for a moment and turned to the customer:

“More than a month has passed since the incident. Even if Watanuki Yiichi really hid the body, the abnormality in the soil and vegetation may not be so obvious anymore.

"Looking for a body buried in the ground is not a simple matter. Even if we climb over the wall while he is not at home, we won't have time to do much effective work... How about this, as a compromise, I will accompany you to his house and look for him. He made an excuse to go in as a guest. Even if he took the opportunity to do something in the yard afterwards, it would hardly be considered an 'illegal entry'."
