Hearing her father's words, Mai Aragaki was stunned for a while, and suddenly picked up her clothes and ran out the door.

As soon as she disappeared at the door, she suddenly came back with a head, "Xia Li will be handed over to you, even if you are not satisfied, try it first, remember to pay the salary." ”

After saying that, she hurriedly disappeared at the door, and Aragaki Satoru, who was still pretending to be a profound, suddenly had a slight twitch in the corner of her eyes.

He usually said that the lack of people in the office was because he wanted his daughter to resign from the Metropolitan Police Department and come back to run it with him, but he didn't expect it to be good, so he directly recruited a mixed-race catwoman for him to come back.

Wait a minute...

This girl's ears don't look like cats...

Satoru Aragaki pondered.

"Boss, please."

Xia Li bowed again unexpectedly, raised her body and stared at Aragaki Satoru with her yellow pupils of "What bad eyes can a kitten have", which inexplicably made him feel like he was being stared at by a tiger, and his back was cold.

"What... Then you can stay for now. ”

Aragaki Satoru didn't want to refute his daughter's face, so he nodded and said, "Well, I remember that there is an empty room on the fifth floor that has just moved out, you can live in it for a few days first, and the specific salary will be determined after the trial." ”

"The boss... I don't have money to eat. Xia Li expressed her predicament very happily and simply.

Isn't eating a small thing?

"Don't worry, we cover room and board!" Satoru Aragaki smiled and made a decision that he regretted.

But at this time, he didn't seem to realize it, stared at Xia Li twice, and suddenly asked with a smile, "I see that you have been staring at Higashino-kun since you first entered the door, do you know each other?" ”

"We're ......," Higashinohara opened his mouth.

"I hate him!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Li had already sharpened her little tiger teeth, and her speech was still so happy and crisp, "Hmph! It was he who betrayed me to the police, otherwise I would have returned to my hometown in Okinawa long ago. ”

"......" Higashinohara.

Why did I forget my righteousness?

"Then Higashino-kun really shouldn't." Satoru Aragaki gave a very 'fair' evaluation.

Instead, he continued to ask Xia Li with a smile, "By the way, Xia Li-chan, I just heard Mai say that you were also in the villa that caught fire and exploded in Minato Ward last night, can you give me an overview of the situation at that time?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Li's head immediately shook back and forth.

Aragaki Satoru was slightly surprised when he saw this, this day the mixed-race sister-in-law Liang looked stupid, but he didn't expect that the sense of secrecy was quite strong, and he originally wanted to ask her for the inside story.

Higashinohara had a strange look on his face at this time.

In the next second, Xia Li saw Satoru Aragaki showing disappointment on her face and quickly explained, "Report to the boss!" I fell asleep last night after a full meal, and when I woke up, I was at the police station, and I don't know what happened at that time. ”

Satoru Aragaki was surprised, "Asleep? Aren't you in captivity? ”

"That's right."

"Where do you sleep?"

"A... Large iron cage. ”

“......”

Satoru Aragaki was a little unconvinced.

How can there be a person who can eat and fall asleep in that situation, and a normal person is a little bit windy or something, shouldn't he be like a frightened bird?

When Higashinohara saw Satoru Aragaki's appearance, he wanted to say something in his heart that I could testify to - when he sneaked into the third basement floor last night, Xia Li was the only one in the dozen iron cages who "fell asleep empty".

The other young missing people in the cage all looked frightened and curled up in the corner of the cage with their knees crossed, and most of the food on the ground in front of them did not move a single chopstick.

Seeing that he couldn't find out anything inside, Aragaki Satoru took out the room key on the fifth floor and asked Higashinohara to take Xia Li upstairs, and he had to contact Taku Morita, an apprentice of the Metropolitan Police Department, to get some surveillance video of the case entrusted by Ryoka Kame.

Higashinohara took the key and looked at the room number.

505。

It's the one where the father and daughter used to live.

He silently carried his handbag upstairs, Xia Li followed behind and looked left and right curiously, comparing it with the shabby place where he once lived, and found that the quality of accommodation seemed to have improved a lot.

The food must be delicious too, right?

She sucked her saliva and her stomach gurgled, and Higashinohara didn't look back when she heard it.

Upstairs, Higashinohara took her straight to room 505, and turned around to give her the key.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found that Xia Li was gone, and at this time, he heard a giggle of "meow meow" teasing the kitten in the other ear.

When I turned my head to look, the figure squatting in front of the small shack looked like the small figure in the dim light...

Xia Li reached in and carefully touched a small yellow milk cat, but the three little milk cats seemed to be afraid of her, lying in the small shack and not daring to move.

At this time, she noticed the small wooden sign hanging on the top of the small shack, and the crooked children's font on it, and asked the three little milk cats, "Wei Li's house?" Which of you is called Xiao Weili? ”

"None of them are called Weili, Xiao Weili is their master."

Higashinohara walked over and looked at the three little milk cats, raised his hand and gave the key to Xia Li, paused and said, "You can feed them if you like, they don't have owners now." ”

"What about their owners?"

Xia Li asked subconsciously, but when she thought that this guy had betrayed himself to the police and was not ready to deal with Higashinohara, she suddenly sharpened two little tiger teeth.

"Their owners are gone."

Higashinohara was silent for a moment after speaking.

Ignoring Xia Li's "teething demonstration", after finishing speaking, he took his handbag and turned around and went back to his room on the east side of the corridor, life has to go on, he has to go to the convenience store tonight to work.

......

Going home and putting down his bag and changing clothes, Higashinohara went downstairs and passed by the corridor next to Xia Li's room when he heard a cheerful sound of pedaling footsteps, and he didn't know what that guy was doing in the room.

And on his way to work at a convenience store, the Asahi Shimbun, one of the largest newspapers and magazines in Wano Province, published an extra article in the evening news column on its official website.

News Title:

[Captain Dragonfly - New Tokyo's Last Justice?!] 】

The following subtitle is also very eye-catching: [People K selling? Fruit experiments? Unraveling the Crimes of Heaven and Man Behind the Recent Missing Persons in New Tokyo]

The topic of celestial beings has always been sensitive.

From the moment this report was published on the online version of the Asahi Shimbun, in just a few minutes, it was wildly reprinted on major social networking sites in Wano Country, and it spread like a virus.

Some traffic marketing accounts are even more remarkable, and the emotions of countless people in Wano Country are quickly stirred, and the comment area is swiped by angry and scolding words.

In the evening, as soon as Higashinohara arrived at the part-time job convenience store, he heard the irritable part-time worker who was about to work with him slam his mobile phone on the counter after reading it, and said angrily with a face full of righteous indignation:

"Bastard! These celestials are damned! ”

"If I were Captain Dragonfly... Kill them all on the spot! ”

Captain Dragonfly?

The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched slightly.

"Uh... Your phone..."

"Nani!! Why is my screen broken?! ”

Screams rang out.
