Chapter 772: My subordinates are really law-abiding. Please give me your monthly votes(?)?
"Sanae's disappearance must be because she was killed by Giichi Watanuki!
"——I asked 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 throughout the family.
"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 bastard said that Sanae never went to see him that night - isn't this a 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.
When he got closer, he found that the door was open and Jiangxia was in the detective office. Toru Amuro 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 with a strong aura of crime.
"..."
What corpse?
What is buried in the yard?
The detective's curiosity and the sense of responsibility brought by his job made Toru Amuro feel like he was fighting with heaven and man in his heart. Finally, he 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 that there was a little more smile in his expression. 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 expression of happiness. It seemed that it was because this kind of thing could give him an extremely profound experience of "a detective standing in the sun."
This kind of 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
Some painful memories came back to Toru Amuro.
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.
Half puzzled, half changing the subject, he asked: "Why do you think so? Is there anything wrong in the yard? Or did someone witness the burial of the body?"
"No one directly witnessed it. This is what I deduced."
Masao Koda tapped his head with his index finger, feeling that this newly arrived blond wage earner had a lot of problems. However, in order to find the missing Sanae Koda, Masao Koda did not mind others participating in the process of "looking for the body" and told him that
Basis for speculation:
"I've checked and found out that Yoichi Watanuki couldn't drive, so 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 Giichi's yard.
“At that time, he heard the sound of shovels digging holes in Yiichi Watanuki’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...
Speaking of 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 Watukiyoshi
I went over and made some routine inquiries... How stupid, which 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 remembering that there was a peripheral member Jiang Xia next to him, and then thinking that he was now an organizational cadre who was working against the police, Tohru Amuro could only scold him with sincerity: "Indeed."
Jiang Xia picked up the tea cup and took a sip, watching silently.
Koda Masao 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 behind closed doors. He only goes to Miwa Central Hospital every Saturday."
Speaking of this, Masao Koda suddenly sat up straight, slapped the table and looked at Jiang Xia:
"Today happens to be the day when Yoshitsune Watanagi goes out, so 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 his 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. If Jiang Xia steps 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 Masao Koda and become an outlaw with the client in broad daylight.
After all, this was the first time they had contact with the client, and they didn’t know the other party’s character. If the other party bites back after being arrested... or even thinking in the dark, if this client is sent here by some forces who don’t like Jiang Xia.
If you keep his tools secret, it would be too reckless to agree to the client rashly.
Next to him, the righteous young detective was slightly startled when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Toru Amuro was very pleased: his subordinates were very obedient, unlike some hot-blooded 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 is probably not that obvious anymore.
"Looking for a body buried in the ground is not an easy task. 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.
Find an excuse to go in as a guest. Even if you take the opportunity to do something in the yard afterwards, it can hardly be regarded as an 'illegal entry'."
