Chapter 264: Diverting trouble to the east
Confidential Secretary's Office, Section 2 of the Special High Section in Shanghai.
Jiang Shiyuan sat behind his desk, tapping the table with his fingertips in a slow and rhythmic rhythm.
Although he seemed to be focused on flipping through the confidential documents in his hands, his five senses were actually on high alert.
Like an invisible net, it quietly spread out and covered the entire office area of Class 2.
The vague feeling of being spied on in the air became stronger and stronger, lingering and making people irritated.
In the corridor, the footsteps were significantly louder than usual.
The originally natural conversation became deliberately low, making it even more obvious.
The gazes directed towards her office also changed from the previous implicit probing to undisguised scrutiny.
Jiang Shiyuan sneered in his heart. These Special High Section personnel, who were acting as if they were facing a powerful enemy, were a little too nervous.
The death of Ito Takuma really threw them into disarray.
Well, the more chaotic it is, the greater her chances of taking advantage of the situation.
"Tuk-tuk-"
There was a gentle knock on the office door, interrupting Jiang Shiyuan's thoughts.
She raised her head, and the sharp edge in her eyes disappeared instantly.
Instead, there was a perfect touch of doubt and alienation.
"Please come in."
Takahashi Yui pushed the door open and walked in, his face solemn, with a lingering haze between his brows.
He walked to Jiang Shiyuan's desk with a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Ayako, has your headache gotten better in the past two days?"
"You still look a little pale, did you not get enough rest last night?"
Jiang Shiyuan put down the documents in his hand, stood up and took the coffee.
My fingertips accidentally touched the back of Takahashi Yui's hand. The cool touch formed a sharp contrast with the warmth of the coffee cup.
She smiled slightly, her smile was a little pale, which made her look even more pitiful and weak.
"You Yi, thank you for your concern. I took the medicine you gave me and my headache is much better now."
"It's just that I have my period today, so I feel a little unwell..."
She took a sip of coffee, the bitter liquid spread on the tip of her tongue, making her more awake.
"It's just... why do I feel like the atmosphere in class has become very tense recently?"
Takahashi Yui's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if trying to see through her true emotions beneath her calm disguise.
But in the end, he just sighed and said in a heavy tone: "Ayako, there are some things that you may have noticed."
He paused and continued, "Three days ago, Ito Takuma... was murdered."
Jiang Shiyuan's hand holding the coffee cup paused slightly, she raised her head and asked in pretended surprise:
"Mr. Ito? Murdered? This... How is this possible?!"
She pretended to be shocked just right, without any flaws.
Takahashi Yui stared into her eyes, trying to catch any sign of abnormality.
But all he saw was pure shock and confusion, as well as a hint of regret.
"The news has been confirmed. It is absolutely true."
Takahashi Yui said in a deep voice, "The military was furious, and the Black Dragon Society also exerted tremendous pressure."
"We, the Special High Police, have been ordered to solve the case within a certain time limit and bring the murderer to justice."
"This... this is too sudden..." Jiang Shiyuan murmured to himself.
There was a hint of disbelief and trance in his tone.
"A person of Mr. Ito's status would be murdered in Shanghai...
"Who on earth is so bold?"
"I have teamed up with Section 1 and are investigating fully."
Takahashi Yui's eyes were still sharp, as if he could see through Jiang Shiyuan.
"Ayako, you had contact with Ito Takuma at the welcome dinner."
"Perhaps... you remember some important details of that night?"
Jiang Shiyuan's heart trembled, knowing that the highlight was about to begin.
She pretended to recall the memory seriously for a moment, her brows slightly furrowed and her voice full of confusion.
"At the dinner... I did have a few conversations with Mr. Ito."
"He's...he's very talkative and personable. But when it comes to the important details..."
She shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Yui..."
"There were so many people at the dinner that I didn't pay much attention to the details."
She paused for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, and added doubtfully:
"But... I do remember that at the dinner, Mr. Ito seemed to be quite concerned about the disappearance of Section Chief Nanzō."
"Senior Sister Yunzi?" Takahashi Yui frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised by this information.
"Yes." Jiang Shiyuan nodded affirmatively, guiding in a natural tone.
"I remember that Mr. Ito specifically asked about Section Chief Minamizo's situation, and he seemed to be somewhat relieved about her disappearance."
She paused for a moment, observing Takahashi Yui's reaction, and continued thoughtfully:
"Come to think of it, Section Chief Nanzo has been missing for quite some time, right?"
"Has there been no news from our Special High Section yet?"
Takahashi Yui's eyes flickered slightly and he fell into deep thought.
The disappearance of Minamizō Yunko is indeed a recent unsolved case of the Special Higher Police.
There also seemed to be some rumors about Ito Takuma and Minamizo Yunko being a couple...
"Ayako, what you mean is..." Takahashi Yui's tone became a little hesitant.
It seemed that Jiang Shiyuan's words led to some speculation.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled slightly, his smile was meaningful, yet also carried a just right amount of reserve.
"Youyi, I just mentioned it casually, maybe... I'm just overthinking it."
"It's really strange that Section Chief Nanzo is missing, alive or dead."
"It's like it was intentional, lurking in the dark."
"But what is her purpose in doing this?"
She said it softly, as if it was just an unintentional guess.
But it was like planting a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting in Takahashi Yui's heart.
Takahashi Yui was silent for a moment, and the doubts in his eyes about Jiang Shiyuan seemed to dissipate a little.
Instead, there is a thoughtful inquiry.
He took the coffee from Jiang Shiyuan's hand, and his tone became much softer.
"Ayako, if you're not feeling well during your period, don't drink coffee."
"You should have a good rest first. You can put your work aside for the time being."
"Youyi, it's great to have you." Jiang Shiyuan once again showed a sweet and knowing smile, but there was a subtle cunning flash in his eyes.
A test, seemingly light and easy, but actually contains hidden tricks.
Jiang Shiyuan cleverly turned the topic to Minamizō Yunko and successfully planted a seed of doubt in Takahashi Yui's heart.
What she has to do next is to help this seed take root and sprout quickly, and eventually grow into a towering tree, completely causing the Special High Police's investigation to deviate from the truth.
Tonight, she would have to take another risk and go to Mo Yu Apartment to do something secretly...
