Chapter 884 Selling oneself to pay off debts

But think about it carefully, there are actually many black cats, and such a flexible creature is unlikely to be caught with bare hands. This is probably just a coincidencethe cat that the detective on the opposite side is holding may be the detective's own.

So the security guards pretended not to see the cat again, and then said, "But don't worry, we have driven the cat away."

"That's it..." Jiang Xia nodded, and couldn't help but glanced at their kit with a catch net: What is driving away, the cat obviously walked by himself, and knocked on the door...

But on second thought, what does the misunderstanding between people and cats have to do with him, a passing detective?

He is just an enthusiastic passerby who does not know the truth.

After pretended to understand the situation, Jiang Xiachao 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 stunned cat on his shoulders and temporarily owned a handsome cat shawl.

After , he glanced at the word " Island" on the door plate, and remembered something, he didn't go back directly, but went to a nearby vending machine for a walk.

He hesitated for a while with various drinks to kill time. . . In the end, I didn't buy anything and took a shortcut to go back to the apartment.

When crossing the alley between the courtyard wall and the parking lot. There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind.

The sound of echoed in the narrow alley, getting closer and closer.

Jiang Xia wanted to pretend he didn't hear it.

But the person who followed him didn't seem to intend to conceal his existence at all. He didn't run lightly at all, and his high heels stepped on the ground.

Jiangxia: ""

He had no choice but to turn his head and take a look.

Almost at the same time, a figure quickly approached and hugged his arm like a life-saving straw.

Then the woman stopped, leaned down and gasped for breath, as if something terrible was chasing her.

Jiang Xia supported the person with one hand, and with the other hand, he straightened the black cat that almost slipped, and glanced behind the woman intently.

Then she sighed softly with regret: Although the client looked very frightened, there was no murderous pursuer behind her.

Jiang Xia looked down at the person in front of her again, and remembered that this was an acquaintancea woman with long straight hair, a slender figure, but not too small of strength, who always came to the detective office every now and then to look for cats. Jiang Xia had a strong impression of her. In those days when he didn't have cats, he often stole rua's dolls.

In addition, in the case where Subaru Okiya was interviewing, the gems in the women's store were also robbed - this is the unlucky jewelry store manager, Chihiro Kojima.

"The manager of Erdao?" Jiang Xia asked with concern, "Are you alright, what happened? Speaking of which, I just saw the alarm of a single house over there going off. The sign hanging on their door also happens to be surnamed Er. island."

Oshima Chihiro dragged Jiang Xia, her heartbeat was extremely violent for various reasons.

When Jiang Xia mentioned "alarm", her expression suddenly became a little frightened.

But it was dark at this time, and after her long hair was shed, she just blocked her face from the side. In theory, Jiang Xia should not be able to see the change in her expression.

Thinking of this, Oshima Chihiro gradually calmed down.

She straightened up and looked at Jiang Xia, then looked at the road behind her, but hesitated: "Actually..."

didn't wait for her to finish.

A flashlight suddenly came over, illuminating her head-on.

followed by a stern voice: "I'm a policeman, what happened here?"

Ojima Chihiro was startled and tightly shut her mouth.

She crossed Jiang Xia's shoulder and looked in the direction of the light.

The light was behind her back and her vision was blocked, but Chihiro Kojima could still vaguely see a flashing warning light. Like a police motorcycle on patrol.

This section of the road is relatively narrow, and the people living around are mostly people of some social status.

Therefore, the patrolmen will pay special attention when they pass by here.

Just now, the little patrolman who came to patrol the neighborhood heard the sound of running and gasping, and suspected something was wrong, so he looked suspiciously.

Light beams illuminate the alley.

After a while, the patrolman looked at a man and a woman in the alleyway, lost in thought.

Contrary to what he thought, there did not seem to be any vicious incidents such as "robbery" or "hooliganism in the deep alley" - looking at the postures of the two people in the alleyway, it was obvious that the woman was holding the man. Suddenly seeing the police, the woman was more frightened.

And... the patrolman touched his chin and reasoned rigorously: and the lady was quite beautiful, the man didn't ask for help when he heard that the police were coming... No matter who harassed who, it was not valid.

It seems that you think too much?

The panic on the woman's face just now was probably not because she was afraid of the police, but simply because she was shy.

After coming to this conclusion, the patrol policeman was a little embarrassed and retreated politely: "I'm sorry to disturb you. If there is any situation, please contact the police in time."

Then he turned off the flashlight, got into the car, passed the alley, and rode away in a hurry.

Jiangxia: ""

Oshima Chihiro was also stunned for a moment, but did not expect the police to go so decisively.

As she was thinking, Jiang Xia patted her: "How about we go to sit on the bench first? Relax and speak slowly."

A few minutes later.

Ojima Chihiro slumped down on the bench with her legs soft, thinking of the stupid thing she did tonight, her forehead throbbed and hurt.

Jiang Xia walked to the vending machine aside, bought two cans of hot coffee, unscrewed it and handed it to her. His actions were full of humanistic care, as if he was still the kind private detective.

Ojima Chihiro cupped the coffee with both hands, carefully drawing the heat from it.

She felt Jiang Xia's meticulous attitude towards her clients, and slowly drank the can of coffee, her heart at war between heaven and man.

After drinking half of the can, Ojima Chihiro was much more awake. She became bold again, and gradually began to regret that she suddenly ran over and held Jiang Xia.

After a while, she finally made up her mind.

"Actually I..." Chihiro Kojima gritted her teeth, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I was walking in the alley just now, and I was frightened by the echo of my own footsteps, thinking that someone was following me. I happened to see you in front and chased after me. on you..."

Jiang Xia stood beside her, took a sip from the can, nodded with a "speak slowly, I'm listening" expression.

Oshima Chihiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to quickly find an excuse, end the conversation, and hurry home.

However, at this time, a few messy flashlights, accompanied by 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 him looked left and right, and his eyes quickly settled on Jiang Xia and Oshima Chihiro.

After a while, the patrolman suddenly raised his hand and pointed at them firmly: "Officer Sato, it's these two people! The woman's long hair and the cat on this person's shoulders are all distinctive, it must be right! "
