Thinking of the righteous detective who helped him clear away the suspicion, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but feel a little worried. And if he remembered correctly, the task Uzo gave him was to take Jiang Xia to all places where murders might occur. Then
If Jiang Xia is gone, he, the peripheral member responsible for connecting with Jiang Xia...
The weak, pitiful and helpless members of the organization shuddered silently, suddenly feeling that things had become serious.
While he was thinking about whether to take on the mission of "Exploring Kenbashi Station", which contained unknown dangers, Subaru Okiya suddenly remembered something.
He dragged the mouse and clicked on an inconspicuous software in the corner of the screen.
Soon, a lively communication group appeared in front of us, and an announcement popped up, which was about the latest Itakura Taku incident - someone compiled the news summary of this case and included it in the group file.
"Huh?" Okiya Subaru took a curious look, but found that the date was yesterday afternoon.
He sighed and put the document away temporarily: what he wanted to know was not yesterday, but Jiang Xia's whereabouts after last night.
After flipping through the chat history, Okiya Subaru's eyes suddenly focused on one place.
A few minutes ago, someone sent a message:
[The little detective's office is open. My driver just passed by that street and saw him picking the lock - is there anyone making an appointment today? If not, I'll go there first.]
Another politely retorted:
[Your cocoa just got lost last week, so this week it should be my peach’s turn.]
After that, there was a series of hidden pulls. Subaru was so frightened that he skipped them. Ten minutes later, a message suddenly popped up and a group photo appeared in the group.
——The photo shows a tabby cat, a famous detective, and a lady holding the tabby cat with a smile on her face.
Apparently, the one who finally won the right to find the cat was Mrs. No. 3 who fell from the sky. Action was better than her heartbeat. While others were still struggling in the group, she had already stepped on the accelerator and headed straight to the detective agency.
[My little flower disappeared this morning. I rushed to the detective agency to ask Jiang Xia for help. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I saw Xiaohua squatting at the door and eating a can from Jiang Xia's hand.]
Mrs. No. 3 happily shared her experience: [Xiaohua also likes him very much. This should be the wonderful fate between us.]
"..."
After a brief silence, the chat history in the group started to scroll rapidly again.
[Is it just canned food? It seems that Mrs. Matsushita has only been in the group for a short time and doesn’t understand the situation yet.]
Wife No. 2, whose beard was cut off, typed quickly: [When my Tao Zi went there, I ate fresh pork chops. It seems that Jiang Xia is very busy today and doesn’t have much time to entertain you.]
Wife No. 1: [Speaking of fate, my Keke and Jiang Xia have a deeper bond. When we were at Mihua Park last week...]
Okiya Subaru: "..."
Does Jiang Xia know that he is inexplicably bonded with a dog?
He glanced at more and more words on the screen, sighed, silently scrolled up, and found the group photo again.
"Yes, it was indeed taken today. The newspaper on the shelf was just released this morning, and there is no trace of synthesis in the photo." Subaru Okiya carefully checked the photo, "Jiang Xia's expression is also very natural, and his height has not changed. It doesn't look like he is disguised."
Or pretend to be someone else."
Having achieved his goal, Subaru Okiya quit the troublesome chat group and thought calmly.
"That is to say, Jiang Xia contacted the gem robbers alone last night, but he was fine and the robbers were not caught?"
Okiya Subaru always felt that something was wrong: "What happened last night? A high school detective should not be able to reconcile with the robbers. Also, why did Usa specifically ask me to drive Jiang Xia to Gunma before?
County? Jiang Xia, the three robbers, and Wu Zuo..."
Countless fragments were put together in his mind, and he vaguely felt that there was some connection between these things.
"Forget it, I don't want to anymore."
Realizing that he was trying to figure out Usa's script, Subaru Okiya braked hard and began to try to forget last night's experience: "The more you think about it, the deeper the connection becomes. The deeper the connection, the easier it is to get involved... As a stage tool,
I’d better forget about this as soon as possible and prepare for the next job.”
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a ding and an email came into the mailbox.
Okiya Subaru looked at the screen with excitement and saw the sender clearly. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out to be the professor..."
In fact, when he saw an email from a professor before, he would feel a thump in his heart.
But now, with Uzuo's comparison, the professor's news suddenly became more clear-cut, and even those papers that were originally daunting became instantly attractive.
"He agreed to my request for leave, and also gave me a two-week leave?" Subaru Okiya didn't expect that the seemingly staid professor could be so easy to talk to, and even buy 1 get 1 free during the holidays.
But this was just what he wanted.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare to order the water and daily necessities he would need for the next two weeks.
…
Opposite the computer.
"A student asks for one week's leave, and you approve it for two weeks?" The professor's old friend was a little surprised. "Don't you always say that every inch of time means every inch of money, and don't you like students asking for leave? Why did you change your attitude today?"
The old professor looked at the recipient of the email and sighed: "He encountered a jewel thief last night and almost died. And..."
Moreover, this student seems to have a bit of evil nature - he didn't pay attention at first and just accepted people as normal, but later he discovered that Subaru Okiya always asked for leave to attend various funerals.
At first, the professor thought that the student was making some poor excuse to be lazy. However, upon further investigation, he became silent: the funerals were all real, and there were usually supporting news. When a murder occurred, Subaru Okiya often
nearby.
From then on, he no longer restrained this student. Occasionally, Subaru Okiya took leave and was not in the laboratory, but he would secretly breathe a sigh of relief... But there was no need to talk to his old friend about these unmaterialistic things.
Thinking like this, the professor responded perfunctorily: "In short, in addition to academic studies, we also need to pay more attention to students' mental health - there is no limit to learning, and it won't be less than these two weeks. Just wait until he has rested and come back to school."
…
When everyone is busy with their own affairs.
Among the new clinics.
The "new doctor"'s phone buzzed and he received an email.
On the bed, Belmode, who was sleeping comfortably, stretched her body and stretched her waist. Then she stretched out her hand from the bed and slowly took her mobile phone.
After taking a look at the content of the email, Belmode's originally squinted eyes slowly opened.
“News reports of agave deaths?”
She frowned and looked at the email: "How long ago was this? Why did Gin suddenly send me this?"
