"I originally wanted to call the police right away, but then I remembered this investigation report." Yoshioka Juro gave a bitter smile. "If you searched the scene and found it, I would definitely become a suspect and be forced to undergo questioning. So I thought... I'd take it first."
Sato Miwako looked at him with faint exasperation. "You were worried that after the police found the documents, they'd investigate your embezzlement of public funds, weren't you? Your concern was justified. In any case, once this case is over, no matter who the murderer is, please come with us."
"...Okay." Yoshioka Juro replied dejectedly, turning away as he muttered under his breath.
Listening closely, one could make out things like, "Damn cops, I'll kill you when I get back!"
Mermaid happened to be passing by him. Hearing that, she couldn't help stopping and waiting expectantly, her eyes shining.
But after a long while, Yoshioka Juro's aura remained completely unchanged.
Mermaid: "..." Liar!
Hearing her quiet grumbling, Jiang Xia turned to glance at the "untrustworthy" Yoshioka Juro, though his attitude remained quite calm.
—Earlier, he had followed the police into the living room. The moment he reached the doorway, he happily stepped on an entire clump of ownerless killing intent that had fallen to the floor. Jiang Xia casually directed the Ghosts to pick it up.
And based on Yoshioka Juro's description just now, this should have been what he had dropped.
—Yoshioka Juro had probably entered the house filled with furious thoughts of, That damn president actually dared threaten me? I'll kill you! Only to discover that she was already dead... A corpse couldn't be killed twice, so all the killing intent on him had naturally fallen away on the spot.
As for why no new killing intent had appeared now...
