Okiya Subaru stroked his phone thoughtfully. "..." Given Uzo's twisted sense of humor, when he executed a traitor, he should at least let the traitor know why they were dying.
He could still log into the mailbox that belonged to "Okiya Subaru."
Yet no matter how many times he refreshed it, no new emails appeared. The only message he had received recently was the assignment sent before he departed.
Okiya Subaru: "..." In other words, even now, he still hadn't received any notice of punishment. So... perhaps this actually wasn't Uzo's doing?
No matter how he thought it over, he couldn't reach a conclusion. Okiya Subaru irritably raked a hand through his hair. He almost wanted to pluck a flower and perform a petal divination: "Related to Uzo," "Not related to Uzo," leaving everything to fate... Unfortunately, there were no flowers in the room.
There was, however, a pot of succulents.
"..."
Just as he reached out, Okiya Subaru pulled his hand back under the urging of his conscience. ...He shouldn't repay his savior's little potted plant with enmity.
At the same time.
Elsewhere, in front of the counter at the Gothic Lolita Clothing Store.
Inspector Yassa nudged Jiang Xia. "What's wrong? Why are you spacing out?" Hurry up and keep deducing!
Although he still had plenty of complaints about this detective barging into the case on his own, compared with his minor clash with Tokyo's great detective, he found the suspect in front of him far more punchable.
Jiang Xia: "..." According to the ghost, Okiya Subaru had looked very strange after seeing the store's surveillance footage, as though he had known something all along... Could he have stumbled upon the murder scene?
This little brother's luck really was enviable... Good thing they hadn't let him get away.
