In addition, when talking about Xu Shengyi, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.
——He remembered the intersection between "Asahi Shengyi" and "Mouri Kogoro", and it was Mouri Kogoro who helped Asahi Shengyi find his lost cat.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia turned off the computer, went to Toru Amuro's detective agency, and looked through the cat's diary and the appointment book hanging at the door.
However, in the column of the client, Xu Shengyi’s name did not appear, and there was no other person named Xu, such as Xu Shengyi’s wife.
...I don’t know if the cat was not lost or if it had already been lost. It’s just that Asahi Shengyi didn’t go to him to check. Instead, he was influenced by the stubborn world line and went to find Kogoro Mori.
After all, although all of Kogoro Mouri's murder cases have been snatched away by young people with no martial ethics, the Mouri Detective Agency is still famous for finding all kinds of things.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so Jiang Xia simply found a few new peripherals given to him by Kinoshita Yoko, and took them as an excuse to go to the Maori Detective Agency to find out the news.
Mouri Kogoro was usually unkempt, with orders piled up on the table. Jiang Xia took a quick look and actually saw Asahi Shengyi's cat-finding request among them.
The photo shows a ginger-colored cat with a patch of heart-shaped white fur on its side. The fur color and features are very unique.
Jiang Xia looked at the photo and felt that he had found the entry point into the case of Kogoro Mori.
——Judging from the completion status of the notes on the order form, Mouri Kogoro has not yet been able to find the cat.
When it comes to finding cats, Jiang Xia happens to have a group of younger brothers who are extremely talented in this area.
If he could pick up the cat first and send the cat to Mouri Kogoro, when Moori Kogoro meets Asahi Shengyi with "Nine" in his name in the future, he might be able to think of Jiang Xia and learn from "Jiang".
"Take out the word "two" or something like that.
In this way, Jiang Xia can naturally participate.
…
Thinking of this, when Kogoro Mouri was happily opening Kinoshita Yoko's peripherals that were not for sale, Jiang Xia picked up the cat photo.
He hesitated and said: "This cat... I seem to have seen it somewhere."
Mouri Kogoro was startled and temporarily put down the peripherals. He was still more concerned about the client's commission: "Do you still remember the specific location?"
Jiang Xia thought for a while: "It seems to be next to the Metropolitan Police Department."
This is a lie.
Jiang Xia had only seen a beautiful photo of this cat, which she saw on Mouri Kogoro's table a few seconds ago, but had never seen the real cat at all.
Jiang Xiahui said this just to pave the way for catching the cat in the future - it would be more reasonable if he had seen the cat and was concerned about this commission, and then suddenly caught the cat and gave it to Mouri Kogoro.
If you can't find the cat in the future, of course it doesn't matter. Cats are creatures that wander all over the world as soon as they go out. If you see them once, you can't catch them. This is very reasonable.
And if he is caught, there is no foreshadowing, and he brings a cat to Mouri Kogoro for no reason, and then a few days later, the cat's owner is suddenly brutally murdered... I always feel that something is wrong if I think about it carefully.
Jiang Xia objectively evaluated himself and felt that he was not a law-abiding citizen with no flaws.
Therefore, it is best to avoid some coincidences that easily arouse suspicion. Although there is nothing wrong with two of them at the same time, these things are like toxins accumulated in the body. If they accumulate too much, they will one day be on the verge of falling out.
.
If you lose your vest as a good citizen, you won't be able to get into the bureau as long as you don't have evidence. But then the good people on the red side will be wary of it, and you won't be able to pick up the ghost as easily as now...
Mouri Kogoro didn't think too much. He wrote down the place Jiang Xia mentioned and planned to look for it later.
…
Jiang Xia checked in at Mouri Kogoro's office, got the information she wanted, and left quickly.
After leaving the Maori Detective Agency, Jiang Xia sent a group message to her brothers, asking them to pay more attention to the cat with the side stripe.
At the same time, he stopped by Dr. Ali's house, intending to see if any fresh cats had been delivered - in case any of the younger brothers were gifted and saw a cat that didn't look like a stray cat and caught it.
Woolen cloth.
Unfortunately, Dr. Ali's house does not have the cat Jiang Xia is looking for.
But there are dishes he wants to eat.
Jiang Xia had a meal with Hui Yuan Ai and continued to urge her younger brother to find the cat.
He himself temporarily returned to the detective agency to deal with the odd commissions he had squeezed during his trip to Mermaid Island. When he returned home, he had to check other cases that might happen in the near future - on the list sent by Gin,
There was another name that Jiang Xia found familiar.
…
Just two days later, when Jiang Xia was looking through information at home, she suddenly received a message from the yellow-haired boy.
——Huang Mao said that he saw the cat Jiang Xia was looking for on the balcony of an apartment building.
Jiang Xia quickly arrived at the place he was talking about and looked up.
This apartment has a total of six floors. The target cat is lying on the balcony railing of a house on the fourth floor, sleeping peacefully.
I don't know if it was picked up by someone or if it climbed up on its own.
However, most people would not leave a cat on a semi-open balcony. Jiang Xia thinks it is more likely to be the latter.
The location on the fourth floor is neither up nor down. It is not easy for humans to get the cat.
Jiang Xia looked around and found that it was quite quiet with no one around.
So he wanted to send his younger brother away, randomly made a large bird out of clay, and caught the cat.
However, the younger brother had just left and when Jiang Xia was about to hide aside and pinch the puppet, the ghosts suddenly reacted.
——There is murderous intent in that house.
Although it is not strong, it does exist.
Jiang Xia was startled.
After thinking for a moment, he put away the puppet clay and walked into the apartment building.
This apartment does not have unit doors.
Jiang Xia glanced at the mailbox on the first floor, compared it with the room number he just saw, and found that the resident of the house where the target cat was located was named Uemura Naoki.
This name gave Jiang Xia a sense of familiarity.
In my mind, Naoki Uemura is a slightly famous football player. Not long ago, during a training, his calf was accidentally kicked by his friend Hideo Akagi and broke his leg.
Naoki Uemura firmly believed that Hero Akagi deliberately kicked and broke his right leg because he was worried about being overtaken by him.
So Uemura Naoki took advantage of his relationship with Hero Akagi to bring Hero Akagi's younger brother to his home to play during an important game, and fabricated the illusion that his younger brother had been kidnapped. He anonymously sent a threatening letter to Hero Akagi, demanding that
Hero Akagi played match-fixing and deliberately lost the game.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked Gui Piao to go upstairs and take a look at the situation.
In room No. 402, there are two people, one large and one small.
The child was concentrating on playing games, while the adult had a cast on his right leg. He was sitting next to him, watching the football match on TV with a gloomy expression.
