Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 791 Tracking Skills

   Jiang Xia always felt that if Subaru Okiya and Shuichi Akai were in contact, he would not be there.

   Then, rather than "relying on transmitters and eavesdroppers to intercept intelligence", it is more likely that those surveillance tools will be quietly disposed of by Shuichi Akai. At that time, if you want to continue tracking, you will have to wait for the next mission.

  … In short, it is best to recycle those small things in time before they are found.

  ——Although Okiya Subaru didn't have the habit of checking himself all the time, it was based on the fact that no one had come into close contact with him in the past few days. And the only one close enough to quietly put a bug on him was a cat that occasionally passed by.

In this case, if the transmitter on Subaru Okiya is discovered, the cat may be suspected by some cautious and intuitive people... This is not a good thing. After all, all the vests are added together. Only cats are the most suitable for tracking - it doesn't even have to deliberately hide its body shape, and if you meet people who are more cat-friendly, you don't have to walk on your own, you can lie on people's shoulders and take a ride.

   When we first met, Jiang Xia wanted to use a cat to find Subaru Okiya's place.

   It's a pity that at that time, Okiya Subaru was infected by the professionalism of his new boss, and became too dedicated. He stayed near the mission target and did not leave, even staying in a hotel... Now that the mission is over, he is finally going back to his old nest.

  …

  The taxi will soon arrive at Meikacho.

   After sending the two children away, Jiang Xia himself returned home.

   Then go in through the front door, slip through the back door, and get ready to follow.

  …

   Cupto Town.

  In the cafe next to Mian Guanyi's family.

  Although it is already dark, there is still some time before the store is closed.

   On the seat in the corner, Okiya Subaru had a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, and was racing against time to type on his paper.

   Efficiency is at its highest when it is time to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

  —— Over the past few days, Subaru Okiya has been prioritizing Uzo's mission. Compared with this kind of life-threatening hanging overhead at all times, the thesis has become that lovable "idle"... The contrast is so strong that now, even if Uzo's task has been completed, as long as he sits From this seat in the cafe, Subaru Okiya can still feel the sense of happiness that he had when he was writing his thesis a few days ago, and his efficiency was much higher than usual.

  … Of course, that was just one of the reasons why he didn’t leave right away.

Another reason for    is that now, the police are still dealing with the follow-up at the construction site and the Mian Guanyi family.

  ——Since this matter has not been completely concluded, Okiya Subaru felt that he had to watch until the last moment to prevent accidents. He has always been a cautious man.

  …

   Several hours passed.

When the    cafe was about to close, the police finally retreated.

   Okiya Subaru looked at the situation over there from a distance, and his half-hanging heart finally fell.

   He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Uzuo: [Mian Guanyi's deeds have been exposed and he has been arrested].

   Not long after, the phone rang.

  Okiya Subaru quickly clicked the button to check, and found that the opposite only came back:

[good]

  “…”

   Subaru Okiya read this simple word back and forth several times, but it was still difficult to figure out Uzo's true tone and mood.

   Fortunately, one thing is certain.

  ——The mission finally ended successfully...

  Okiya Subaru leaned back on the back of the chair, took a sip of coffee, and slowly relieved, feeling that the invisible burden on his shoulders was lifted.

   He put away the computer and prepared to go home.

   As soon as I walked to the door of the store, out of the corner of my eye, something stepped on the billboard next to it.

   This time, Okiya Subaru was much calmer.

   He turned his head and looked over, and sure enough he saw a familiar cat on the snow.

   This cat does not have a cat card on its neck, like a free cat whose territory is nearby. At this time, the two sides looked at each other, and the cat shook its tail as usual, as if to say hello to him.

   Okiya Subaru nodded to the cat in a good mood.

In the past two days, Subaru Okiya has often seen this cat, and sometimes the cat will sneak into the cafe, lie beside his seat, and stare at his mobile phone or computer screen. For Wu's appearance.

That cafe is not a cat coffee. It stands to reason that pets are not allowed to enter, but a cat like this, walks quietly, and is very good at hiding. I think as long as there is no customer report, it can stay in the coffee safely all the time. in the hall.

   Okiya Subaru didn't act as the whistleblower - he didn't hate cats, and he was under a lot of pressure these two days. There was an elusive cat next to him, which could be used to relieve stress.

   However, today is the last time we meet. After the task is completed, there is no need for him to continue to come here.

  Okiya Subaru: "..." After thinking about it this way, I still feel a little reluctant to give up... Hiss, in fact, when you need to make up your thesis in the future, you can definitely come to this store for a sit. On the one hand, it can improve efficiency. On the other hand, if Jiang Xia really thinks "Okiya Subaru" is suspicious because of today's events, then if he shows up more in this area, wouldn't it be possible to increase "Okiya Subaru is always here?" The possibility of haunting, just unintentionally discovering a dead body".

  …

   Okiya Subaru thought as he walked towards the parking lot.

   And soon, when he was about to go home, he suddenly realized that he was not the only one who felt reluctant.

  ——The black cat with white claws actually followed.

   The moment he opened the car door, he jumped into the car very naturally, and then lay comfortably in the passenger seat, as if he was about to hitch a ride.

   Seeing Okiya Subaru's movements froze, he turned his head and glanced at it, like a dissatisfied urging.

   Okiya Subaru: "...?"

……What's the meaning?

  This cat is relying on him?

  ...Heh, he doesn't think he looks like a good-natured human, so he just picks up a strange cat and goes home.

  …

five minutes later.

   Okiya Subaru drove the car and was walking home.

   The co-pilot was yawning on his back with dark clouds and snow.

   "..." Okiya Subaru silently pushed his glasses.

  ... He really won't pick up strange cats and bring them home, he's not that casual.

   But after these few days, this cat is quite related to me. With the frequency of stray cats encountering people, it can definitely be regarded as a familiar cat... In addition, it is rare to meet such a close cat. Since I'm about to hug FBI's thigh and leave my hometown, I can also talk about my homesickness with the cat I picked up from my hometown...

Next to   , Jiang Xia did not study Yasuba's complicated feelings.

   Originally, what he thought was that if Subaru Okiya could accept the cat to hitch a ride, he would just hitch a ride and follow him.

  If it doesn't work, take advantage of Subaru Okiya's unpreparedness, spread it out into a cat cake, and hide it in any part of the car. Anyway, even if you follow the place, you can get it.

  …

The   car did not head towards the "Tokyo Village" where "Subaru Okiya" lived in the original world line.

   Instead, we drove through the city center and headed for Toyoei-cho - it is not far from Toto University, just between the university and the bustling city, and it is very convenient to go to both sides.
