Jiang Xia looked Inspector Yassa over and nodded thoughtfully.

Although he had not managed to ask anything, it was not a problem—after all, when Inspector Yassa had gone out to make that call, Xiao Bai had already climbed onto his shoulder.

Later, when Inspector Yassa suddenly rushed out to chase someone, Xiao Bai had curiously followed along and relayed all the information he was supposed to.

Jiang Xia: "..." That "Asian man" did sound rather like a disguised Okiya Subaru. This subordinate's Case Magnet Constitution really was quite useful...

But looking at it this way, after leaving Tokyo, Okiya Subaru's bad luck had shot straight up—in the airport, he had nearly been hit by someone falling from above, and after coming out, he was surrounded by the police. Fortunately, United Kingdom police generally did not carry guns, or one accidental discharge and he would have been dead... This was completely different from the king of survival he had been in Tokyo, passing through cases without a speck of bad luck sticking to him.

At a time like this, as a good superior with sound judgment, he should pull him back
