Chapter 884 Selling oneself to pay off debts
But if you think about it carefully, there are actually many black cats, and such a flexible creature, it is unlikely that they will be caught by people with bare hands. This is probably just a coincidence - the cat held by the detective opposite may be brought by the detective.
So the security guards pretended not to see the cat, and then said just now: "But don't worry, we have driven the cat away."
"That's it..." Jiang Xia nodded and couldn't help but take a look at their tool kit with a capture net: What does it mean to drive away? The cat obviously left by himself, but he knocked on the door...
But then I thought about it, what does the misunderstanding between humans and cats have to do with him, the passing detective?
He is just an enthusiastic passerby who doesn't know the truth.
After pretending to figure out the situation, Jiang Xia said goodbye to the two of them.
...
Wait for the two security guards to pack the tools into the car and drive away.
Jiang Xia put the knocked cat on his shoulder and temporarily possessed a handsome cat-branded shawl.
Afterwards, he swept the words "南彩" on the door sign, remembered something, and did not go back directly, but went around the nearby vending machine.
He hesitated for a while at all kinds of drinks to kill time. In the end, he didn't buy anything and took the shortcut to prepare to return to the apartment.
When I passed through the alley between the courtyard wall and the parking lot, the sound of footsteps following me suddenly came from behind.
The sound echoed in the narrow alleyway, getting closer and closer.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it.
But the person who followed him seemed to have no intention of concealing his existence. He was not light at all when he started running. He stepped on the ground with his high heels, and his movements were slightly more concealed than Gin's shooting.
Jiang Xia: "..."
He had no choice but to turn around and take a look.
Almost at the same time, a figure rushed towards him quickly, hugging his arm like a life-saving straw.
Then the woman stopped, bent down and gasped, as if there was something terrible behind her chasing her.
Jiang Xia held the person with his other hand and straightened the black cat that almost slipped down, meaning to look behind the woman.
Then he sighed slightly regretfully: Although the person involved looked very frightened, there were no murderous pursuers behind her.
Jiang Xia looked down at the person in front of her again, remembering that she was an acquaintance - a woman with long straight hair, slender figure, but not very strong, and always came to the detective office to look for cats every now and then. Jiang Xia had a great impression of her. In those days when she didn't keep a cat, he often stole the puppet of this client.
In addition, in the case where Oshiya Subaru was interviewed, the gems in the woman's store were snatched up - this was the unlucky jewelry store manager, Chihiro Ojima.
"Original Island store manager?" Jiang Xia said with concern, "Are you okay? What happened? Speaking of which, I saw the alarm of a single-family house there sounded. The sign hanging at their door happened to be Origan."
Chihiro Ojima pulled Jiang Xia, and his heartbeat was extremely violent for various reasons.
When Jiang Xia mentioned the "alarm", her expression suddenly became a little frightened.
But at this time, the night was dark, and after she draped her long hair, she just blocked her face from the side. Theoretically, Jiang Xia shouldn't see her expression change.
Thinking of this, Chihiro Oijima gradually calmed down.
She stood up and looked at Jiang Xia, then looked at the way behind her, and wanted to say something but stopped: "Actually..."
Before she could finish speaking.
A flashlight suddenly came and illuminated her head.
Immediately followed by a stern question: "I am a policeman, what's wrong here?"
Chihiro Oijima was shocked and closed his mouth firmly.
She crossed Jiang Xia's shoulder and looked in the direction where the lights were shining.
With the light on his back, his vision was blocked, but Chihiro Oi Island still vaguely saw a little flashing police light, like a police motorcycle that was patrolling.
...
This section of the road is relatively narrow, and the surrounding people are somewhat of people with some social status.
Therefore, when the patrol officer passes here, he will pay special attention.
Just now, the little patrolman who came to patrol nearby vaguely heard the sound of running and violent gasping. He suspected that something had happened, so he suspiciously observed it.
The beam illuminates the alley.
After a while, the patrolman looked at a man and a woman in the alley and fell into deep thought.
Unlike what he thought, there seemed to be no vicious incidents such as "robbery" or "rogues in the deep alley" - looking at the postures of the two people in the alley, it is obvious that the woman is holding the man and keeping her away. Suddenly seeing the police, the woman is more frightened.
Moreover... the patrolman touched his chin and reasoned rigorously: And the lady was quite beautiful. When the man heard the police coming, he didn't ask for help... No matter who harasses who, it was not true.
...It seems that I am thinking too much?
The woman's panic on her face just now may not be because she is afraid of the police, but just simply being shy.
After reaching this conclusion, the patrolman was a little embarrassed and retreated politely: "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing. If there is any situation, please contact the police in time."
Then he turned off the flashlight, got on the car, passed by the alley, and rode away.
Jiang Xia: "..."
Chihiro Oijima was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the police to leave so decisively.
Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xia patted her: "Why don't we sit on the bench first? Relax and say slowly."
...
A few minutes later.
Chihiro Ojima fell on the bench with his legs weak, thinking of the confused things he did tonight, and his forehead hurts when he jumped.
Jiang Xia walked to the vending machine beside her, bought two cans of hot coffee, unscrewed and handed her a can. Her actions were full of humanistic care, and she was still the kind private detective.
Chihiro Ojima held his hands together with coffee and carefully drew heat from it.
She felt Jiang Xia's careful attitude towards customers, and slowly drank the can of coffee, fighting with the gods in her heart.
After drinking most of the cans in a hurry, Chihiro Ojima had already awakened a lot. She became bolder again and gradually began to regret that she had just run over and grabbed Jiang Xia.
After a moment, she finally made up her mind.
"Actually I..." Chihiro Ojima gritted his teeth, "It's actually nothing big. It's just that I was walking in the alley just now, and I was frightened by the echoes of my own footsteps, thinking that someone was following me. I happened to see you in front and catch up with you..."
Jiang Xia stood beside her, opened the can and took a sip, nodded, with an expression of "You speak slowly, I'm listening."
Chihiro Oijima secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just about to find an excuse to end the conversation, and then go home quickly.
However, at this time, several chaotic flashlights, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, approached quickly from the corner.
Jiang Xia turned his head and saw a familiar patrolman rushing out of the corner, followed by a group of people.
——The little patrolman who had just met looked around and his eyes quickly settled on Jiangxia and Chihiro Ojima.
After a while, the patrolman suddenly raised his hand and pointed firmly at them: "Officer Sato, these two people! The long hair of that woman and the cat on this person's shoulders are all very distinctive, so it must be right!"
