Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 133 Too Much Vodka

   Hattori Heiji sighed with emotion, and suddenly felt a chill behind his back. He turned his head warily and saw that Jiang Xia was looking at him.

   After a while, Jiang Xia approached and whispered thoughtfully, "You're not afraid, right?"

  "?!!" Hattori Heiji suddenly felt a guilty conscience that was pierced by his mind, but his mouth was still very stubborn, and he subconsciously retorted, "How is it possible!"

"That's good." Jiang Xia returned to his friendly appearance and smiled at him, "I was worried that you would avoid me because of this... Then when you come to Tokyo in the future, remember to find me more, I feel that we It will be a good match." I always feel that this new case collector is not very honest, and needs to add a little bit of radical adjustment...

   Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's familiar expression, and suddenly remembered the words Jiang Xia said to him on the way here, "Have you considered transferring to Tokyo?"

  ...He didn't understand what Jiang Xia meant at the time, but suddenly he understood.

  It must be that after Jiang Xia started working as a part-time detective, he felt that it was too boring to solve the case alone, so he wanted to find another person to test.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji sweated on his temples - he was far away in Osaka, Jiang Xia dared to ask him if he wanted to move, and Kudo Shinichi was Jiang Xia's classmate, and he must have been dragged to the competition to solve the case... It's terrible. Now, what has Kudo been through?

   However, now does not seem to be the time to sympathize with Kudo Shinichi. Jiang Xia is obviously not enough to destroy the famous detective in the East, and now he is eyeing the famous detective in the West...

   Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's back as he left with satisfaction, and felt deeply that he lacked the ability to see people.

On the way   , he even thought that Jiang Xia was a good-natured person who was harmonious and friendly, but now... this guy is a devil who takes pleasure in attacking the self-confidence of other detectives!

   But after all the words were released just now, and then hiding from Jiang Xia, it was really unimpressive.

   Hattori Heiji leaned against the wall tiredly and silently encouraged himself - a victory or defeat means nothing, as long as you practice more, one day, he will be able to reach a level similar to Jiangxia...

   In short, he will not run away like Kudo. In this way, at least in terms of momentum, he defeated Kudo and did not fall to the bottom of the food chain.

  Just, speaking of Kudo Shinichi...

   Hattori Heiji suddenly realized something.

   He turned to look at Conan, and focused on the earmuffs on Conan's neck. At the same time, he also remembered the sympathetic look Conan cast towards him.

   Hattori Heiji finally understands why Conan wears earmuffs with him.

   But at the same time he had some doubts. If it were Kudo Shinichi, this kind of behavior would be reasonable, but Conan is only a first-year kid, why is he... Wait.

  ...If it is replaced by Kudo Shinichi?

  Thinking about it, a bold idea suddenly popped into Hattori Heiji's mind.

   But soon, he vetoed himself again.

  What a joke, how could an adult become smaller out of thin air... It must have been stimulated by Jiang Xia today, so his thinking was overactive...

  …

  Gin is still waiting for Jiangxia's mission plan. At the same time, he also developed several assassination plans.

   However, when two snipers were dispatched to familiarize themselves with the field, Gin suddenly received news from Chianti that Isamu Ikemura was dead.

   Died in a murder.

  The case that Jiang Xia solved.

   These two items, taken out individually, are no problem with either.

   But it was fused together, and it happened to be at the time when he just finished the task for Jiang Xia...

  …

  Gin called people out again, this time at a sushi restaurant.

   He sat in the box and asked bluntly, "You killed people?"

   Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze towards Sushi: "Strictly speaking, no." Not strictly speaking, neither.

  Gin and Vodka failed to understand the second half of Jiang Xia's unspoken sentence, and they directly translated Jiang Xia's answer into "I didn't do it myself, but the murderer was under my control."

  Gin was satisfied with the outcome of the assassination, but felt that the process was flawed.

   He tapped twice with his knuckles on the table: "You didn't report it."

Jiang Xia held the teacup: "I left a little hint to Gongjiang Chicun before. I wanted to observe her actions first, and then make detailed plans based on them, but I didn't expect her to do it so quickly." He sighed softly. Taking a breath, "It seems that I underestimated her feelings for her ex-husband."

   Vodka is a little puzzled: "Your feelings for your ex-husband?"

   In the document they gave to Jiang Xia, there was indeed a remark that Gongjiang Chicun "remarried". But the target of the organization is Ikecun Xun. In the information they collected, even the information of Ikecun Gongjiang is incidental, not to mention her marital status... Jiang Xia actually took advantage of this information in a corner?

Jiang Xia nodded: "Ikecun Gongjiang's friends often entrust me to help them find cats, and some of them are rich ladies who are very talkative - although they keep their own secrets very strictly, they don't care so much about other people's, and sometimes they don't. Pay attention to the information revealed, they don't take it seriously, but they are very valuable to me.

   "Following the hints they inadvertently gave, it is not difficult to find out that Gongjiang Ikemura's ex-husband is Kenji Yamashiro. Twenty years ago, he was imprisoned for crimes and died in prison fifteen years ago.

"Although there is no clear evidence, after Yamashiro Kenji was sacked, Ikemura Xun reaps the most benefits. Moreover, Ikemura Xun's reputation is very general, and there are usually some rumors that his methods are not very glorious. Regarding Yamashiro Kenji's imprisonment, Ikemura Xun may have also get involved.

"At that time, Gongjiang Ikemura spent a period of low life alone before he remarried Ikemura Xun. I thought she might have been deceived by Ikemura Xun, so I tried to send this news to her - if in the 'putting Yamashiro Kenji in prison' this In the incident, Ichicun Gongjiang was not an accomplice of Ichicun Xun. For her, Ichicun Xun was the enemy who split her family apart. After hearing about these circumstances, she would definitely have a dispute with Ichicun Xun. In death, she can also become a suspect naturally.

"In addition, although there is little hope, she may also kill herself. So when her friends came to my office, I adjusted the order of the case clippings in the office. There are some suitable killing methods hidden in the clippings. , Those wives get bored during the waiting period, so they will take it to the newspaper clippings to read, and then those cases will become the topic of their chat... Now it seems that Ikemura Gongjiang has indeed been inspired by it."

   Vodka always felt wrong: "You showed her friend the relevant case, and she used the specific method you chose to kill? Is there such a coincidence?"
