As he spoke, Inspector Nakamori couldn't help glancing at Jiang Xia. In his memory, this Detective, who was highly regarded in Investigation Division 1, often wandered around Crime Scenes involving Kid.
But unlike when he encountered Murder Cases, whenever Jiang Xia came over to help them, he was basically clocking in to tour a sightseeing spot—he showed up without doing any work, purely slacking off. Inspector Nakamori had even caught him leaning against a sofa and sleeping out of boredom.
