Conan’s Corpse Picker

  The case was over, and when we walked out of the building, it was completely dark.

  Suzuki Sonoko stood on the street with Jiang Xia, Mao Lilan and Conan, waiting for the driver to pick him up.

   Opposite is the newly built "Nishitama City Twin Building". Although it has not yet officially opened to the public, it has now entered the trial operation stage. The corridors are lit with warm lights, which outline a bright boundary for the building in the dark.

  Suzuki Sonoko looked up at this magnificent twin towers, feeling emotional, but suddenly had bad memories.

  ——She remembered the photo she spat out of the "foreign appearance prediction machine" when she visited the building a few days ago, about her appearance in "ten years from now".

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Damn, obviously his face hasn't changed much, but because he was arbitrarily fitted with a "same hairstyle of Tokiwa Mio", ten years later, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly changed from the original "mature and sexy." Sister", turned into a stern and mean aunt...

Suzuki Sonoko wrapped her arms and snorted in her heart: Fortunately, at that time, she covered the photo tightly. Except for the bear child who looked like a triangular rice ball, no one else had seen that black history. , no, black future.

   After that, she immediately destroyed the "photos from ten years later".

   But even so, thinking of this matter, Suzuki Sonoko was still quite concerned.

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Speaking of which, I really don't seem to care much about dressing up over the years—even Mr. Kamimori, who has gone to heaven...or hell, knows that he needs to get his hair done before attending a banquet. , but he is often too lazy to deal with it.

   I did catch a glimpse of a few handsome guys at the flower arrangement dinner just now, but no one has come to talk...

Suzuki Sonoko thought about it, looked at the dark billboard on the side of the road, and took a look at the reflections. She thought to herself: When I attend the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers in a few days, I must wear the darkest face. Nice hairstyle here.

  "..." But what kind of hairstyle looks better?

  Suzuki Sonoko, who has only had one hairstyle since childhood, couldn't help but look solemn and fell into contemplation.

  …

the other side.

  Okiya Subaru did not go with a few high school students, but went to the station.

  Although he usually travels by car, today, he went out to investigate the situation secretly. Subaru Okiya always felt that compared to driving, taking public transportation was less likely to attract the attention of some people—if I remember correctly, Uzo had seen his car before.

  "..." Of course, now it seems that this measure has no effect at all. As long as a person is lucky enough, no matter how he hides, he will suddenly encounter Wuzuo when he goes out...

   Okiya Subaru sighed faintly, got on the train, and went all the way back to the vicinity of his apartment.

  …

After getting off the bus at the station and away from the dangerous air in Nishitama City, Okiya Subaru took the pocket of his trench coat and walked home, preparing to go to a nearby tavern for a drink later to relax his tense mood today. .

   But before entering the store, his phone vibrated suddenly and received a message.

  Okiya Subaru took out his phone and unlocked the screen.

  In the newly arrived email, there are only a few words. But it fell into the eyes of Okiya Subaru, but it was like a thunderbolt——

  [you are being followed]

   Okiya Subaru: "!!!"

  ...He knew this email address, it belonged to Shuichi Akai.

  Although Okiya Subaru himself did not realize that he was being followed at all, he did not doubt the authenticity of the news at all.

  ——There must be someone behind you.

  … Who is it? What is the purpose of that person?

  …

  The icy and lonely street, and the unknown stalker behind him...

  The only thing that can make Subaru Okiya feel relieved is that since Shuichi Akai found out that someone was following him, the fbi ace must be right around here.

   Okiya Subaru: "..." Thighs! take me! !

   He didn't enter the tavern he often went to, and walked right by, while typing cautiously and replying: [What should I do now? ]

   Akai Shuichi seems to be thinking too.

   After a while, the message was sent again.

   Okiya Subaru opened his eyes expectantly and glanced at it.

   I saw Mr. Akai give his valuable advice:

  [Go home directly, go back and lock the door]

  “…”

   seems to have guessed Okiya Subaru's mental journey after seeing the email. Later, Akai Shuichi added one more sentence:

  [Don't worry about revealing your address. Anyway, you don't usually hide it on purpose. If the person following you wants to check, he can find it sooner or later. ]

  “…”

   Okiya Subaru was silent for a while.

   But after thinking about it, in the outdoors, Akai Shuichi, an FBI wanted by the organization, is not good to come forward to help.

   But if someone following him suddenly invaded his home indoors, Shuichi Akai, who was hiding nearby, would definitely be able to outflank him and take him directly.

In addition, Subaru Okiya has a little abacus: In this case, once "Subaru Okiya" exposes the connection between himself and Shuichi Akai, then he doesn't have to wait any longer - he can just leave Fly to safety in this country of endless criminals.

  …

   Thinking so, Okiya Subaru no longer hesitated.

   He put away his mobile phone, followed Akai Shuichi's suggestion, and walked towards his home naturally.

During the    period, Okiya Subaru gradually realized another thing.

   As early as when he first became Uzo's subordinate, Okiya Subaru was asked once by this capricious boss.

   After that, he quickly gave his boss's recognizable appearance of "suit and sunglasses + natural rolls", as well as rumors and personality, to Shuichi Akai.

   Now, judging from the tone of Shuichi Akai's second half sentence, that stalker doesn't seem to be Uzo.

In this case……

After    crossed out Uzo, another figure soon appeared in Subaru Okiya's mind.

  ——The blond, black-skinned, suspected senior subordinate of Wu Zuo, the boss of the "Anshi Detective Agency" who was responsible for escorting Jiang Xia to the scene of the crime.

   Okiya Subaru: "..." What is this person doing with him?

  … Could it be the legendary workplace struggle?

  Okiya Subaru murmured inwardly as he checked his mailbox carefully.

   found that there was no news from Uzzo, he had to sigh, and decided to wait and see the situation.

   As for asking Uzo directly...

  This option, after getting out of the danger of "being searched", was immediately snuffed out by Okiya Subaru.

   - He didn't want to get Uzo's attention in any way.

   And Okiya Subaru knew clearly in his heart: the current situation is just his speculation, and there is no evidence at all.

  If he guesses wrong, Uzo, who was not interested in this matter at first, may suddenly run over with interest.

   And in case he guessed right, if Uzo hates his subordinates guessing about him, and decides to clear the portal...

  Okiya Subaru shook his head in the cool breeze, and threw out the messy thoughts. Walk steadily towards your home.
