Conan’s Corpse Picker

  “…”

  The air was quiet for a moment.

   In front of a group of guests, Chairman Toya became even more embarrassed.

   She shook her head and changed the subject, no longer paying attention to Taniguchi Mika, but turned to Suzuki Sonoko: "I'll go to the office to put down the flowers and take down the corresponding contract documents - please wait there for a while."

   She raised her hand and gestured to the hall—to the south was a carpeted seating area with a simple bar.

  Suzuki Sonoko nodded, expressing understanding, the work area generally does not allow guests to enter: "Okay."

  The chairman of Toya looked at Taniguchi Mika again: "You go to the clothing accessories room on the 8th floor to prepare. Today I will shoot those sets of college-style clothes. The guests have something to do at night, so hurry up."

  Taniguchi Mika snorted as a response.

  The two walked to the elevator door and waited silently for the elevator.

  Okiya Subaru silently looked at their backs, and couldn't help but remember the gaze of "Uzo" behind the building next door. He raised his hand and pushed his glasses, always feeling that something was going to happen today.

  …

   Okiya Subaru slowed down a few steps because he was thinking about something.

   As a result, I just heard the muttering of two security guards, who seemed to be talking about Taniguchi Mika.

The young one was full of complaints: "Who would go to steal a plan and sell it to a rival company because she doesn't want to work overtime! She even asked the captain to help her erase the surveillance, and now a large number of people have left... I don't want to lose my job. If it goes on like this, the company will not go bankrupt.”

   "How can it be, such a big company." The older one was quite Buddhist, "If it really goes out of business, it's a big deal to get compensation and find another job."

   The young security guard shook his head: "It's so easy to change jobs..."

  The elder hugged the thermos cup and comforted him with a smile:

   "Don't overcomplicate things. If you don't do it, how do you know it won't work?

   "To be honest, my previous presidents were unfortunately killed, and I have changed jobs several times now. Look, am I still alive and well?

"Actually, at the beginning, after I came here, I found that the president of Toya always made people work overtime, and I thought this time would not last long. I didn't expect the employees here to have a good temper, but they just secretly planned and sold them to opponents... …”

   Okiya Subaru couldn't help but glance at them: "..."

   He thought that his life experience was already rich enough, but he didn't expect that compared with the real social people, he was actually far worse... Wait, why is the president always dead? Could it be that there are actually many people who are similar to Uzo in the dark part of society, and even Uzo's assassination technique is actually some kind of family tradition, or a type of work that organizes special training?

  "..." Hiss, it seems that he accidentally made up something incredible in his mind.

  Okiya Subaru couldn't help but stiffen for a moment. Then he quickly returned to normal, he took a few quick steps and caught up with several others.

  …

   Jiang Xia and a few classmates came to the rest area. There is a drink cabinet here.

   He went to the side to study for a while, took out the paper cup, and took a coke.

   As he drank, he turned his head and saw Mao Lilan looking at the elevator from a distance, and seemed a little puzzled:

   "They all go upstairs, why don't they take the same elevator?"

   "Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko turned his head and glanced at the elevator.

  There are three iron gates on the wall over there, which are three elevators.

   At this time, President Toya and Mika Taniguchi each entered one, and the elevator went up.

   "That. Those elevators function differently."

  Suzuki Sonoko also got close to Jiang Xia, followed by Coke, and casually gave his friend popular science: Gu Xi

"I remember that there is an elevator for customers that stops on the 1st to 8th floors, one is an elevator for the president that goes directly to the 15th floor, and the other is an elevator that goes directly to the 8th floor. From the 8th floor, each floor stops normally-because the 8th floor Above the building is the staff area, and customers can only enter the lower floors 1-8.”

   "..." Jiang Xia looked over there and vaguely remembered something.

   At this moment, with a blink of an eye, a figure walked beside him.

  "?" Jiang Xia turned his head and saw his new subordinate.

   Okiya Subaru seems to be hesitant to speak, and is talking.

   looked at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia assumed the attitude of a high school detective, and took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong?"

  …

   Okiya Subaru wanted to quietly inquire about the reason why Jiang Xia appeared here today.

   Although curiosity killed the cat, he was really curious about whether Uzo's black hand was secretly poking around in his experience today.

   After hesitating for a moment, Okiya Subaru said in a small talk: "I heard from the chairman just now that you are today's models—this is your part-time job?"

   Jiang Xia: "..." Did this person follow up without even understanding the situation just now? ...Speaking of which, why did Subaru Okiya get together with them so naturally?

  Although I don't mind having an additional member of the organization next to me, but after thinking about it, I always feel that something is not right...

   Jiang Xia looked at Chongya Subaru for a moment, then explained thoughtfully, "It's not a part-time job, it's just a temporary help."

   "Is that so..."

  Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses, and the lenses snapped and reflected light. Although he looked like a calm scholar, Jiang Xia always suspected that he was messing around with reading comprehension.

   While thinking and talking, the progress of the conversation is very slow.

   Before Okiya Subaru succeeded in generating any information, there was a sudden "ding--" sound from the elevator.

   Someone came down.

  …

   Several people were startled, then stopped talking and looked over.

   I saw the elevator door that "goes to the 15th floor" slammed open, and Chairman Toya ran out quickly.

   She ignored several guests sitting in the lounge area and ran straight to the security guard: "Is Taniguchi gone?"

   "Huh?" The security guards were startled and shook their heads, "No, no one entered or exited the hall just now."

"Really." Chairman Huwu frowned and looked at his mobile phone, the folds were piled up at the moment, "She answered my call, but she didn't make a sound, I thought she was throwing a temper again... …”

   Several guests heard the movement, put down their coke cups, and came over.

   Jiang Xia looked at the elevator and stopped at the display above: "The elevator that Miss Taniguchi took is still on the 8th floor. She probably never went downstairs."

   Chairman Toya glanced back, sighed, walked over and pressed the elevator call button: "Really...I'll go to the eighth floor to see."

   However, after waiting for a while, the elevator that went straight to the 8th floor was fixed on the 8th floor and did not move at all.

  The elderly security guard was startled.

   Hesitating for a moment, he turned to press the ordinary elevator next to him: "Take this up and see the situation."

  This time, the elevator opened smoothly.

Chairman Huwu walked into the elevator, remembered something, and looked back at several guests: "Come together, too, the clothing room is on the ninth floor, just to take pictures on the way up, so as not to run again later... Taniguchi may I don't want to work overtime, so I'll tidy up those accessories."
