Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1701 Chapter 1701 [Give the boss a gift] Ask for a monthly pass ()

  Both rumors have a certain degree of credibility. In short, no matter what, it seems that this ring should be lying in the police station with Mu Shuli's body at this time, instead of appearing in the hands of a member of the organization.

  Gin suspects that the one in his hand is fake. It's better not to give the gift if it's wrong: "You take something from a dead person as a present? And I heard that this ring may not be the real thing."

  Jiang Xia seems to know more than him: "The ring that Mu Shuli wore on the way back was indeed a fake, but when she performed on stage before, she used a real ring.

"On the night of the stage play, because of Kidd's appearance and Ireland's dead body lying on the street outside, the scene was a bit chaotic. Someone took the opportunity to replace the ring she took off with a fake one when the performance was over and she was changing clothes in the grazing tree. Then my cat happened to get the real ring back from the thief. So now you have the real one."

"As for whether a dead person has worn it before..." Jiang Xia imitated the appearance of gin, and snorted coldly. It happened that he also had a cigarette in his hand, and he could perfectly reproduce this kind of mocking movements and expressions. "The most valuable treasures are often It has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and each piece has come into contact with countless dead people. The fault is never the treasures, but the former owners who are not worthy of them."

  Vodka: "..." Stealing something back from the thief, isn't this still a thief! At most it sounds more like Grand Theft Auto.

   But that's not the point. The point is, Uzo's hobbies have actually shifted?

   Could it be because Kaito Kidd's "magician under the moon" looks more attractive, and Uzo thinks that kind of mysterious monster who comes and goes without a trace is very handsome, so he also wants to enter this industry?

  Thinking of this, Vodka suddenly had a secret expectation in his heart: If Uzo really fell in love with the Phantom Thief career, would everyone be able to calm down a bit?

  … But then again, when Kidd showed up before, there was usually only one theft. But now, around the scene where the strange thief committed the crime, the dead began to appear one after another.

  Vodka immediately understood the cause and effect - when "Jiang Xia" was not so famous, he used to use the monster thief to increase his reputation.

  It must have been at the very beginning, Uzo felt that stealing was boring, so he was too lazy to write the script nearby, and just wanted to go back early after the scene was finished. But after watching, he gradually became interested, so he added some cases to Kidd's performance to add to the fun.

  By analogy, even if Uzo really became a phantom thief, there would probably be many murders around him. And in the past, you lost your life, but now you lose your life and property together... tui! It's not as good as it is now.

  …

  After Jiang Xia asked Ganfanmao to take the ring back, he hesitated about what to do.

   Kidd is now able to produce mana regularly. If Kidd secretly returned the ring to Mu Shuli and asked Kidd to steal it from her again, it would not be a hassle, and the energy cores he got would not be so many, and it would easily disrupt the progress of the plane incident.

  In the end, Jiang Xia stared at this beautiful "Stone of Destiny", looked left and right, left the things behind, and decided to play with them for a few days before returning them.

   No matter how beautiful it is, it is just a gem, and Jiang Xia got tired of looking at it after a while. Originally, he planned to find an opportunity to let Ganfanmao throw the ring to the donor, and then stop by to see if there was anything in the donor's house that needed detectives.

  But before it was implemented, I heard that the ring donor was heartbroken and planned to let this gemstone be buried with Mu Shuli.

   "..."

  Jiang Xia lost the idea of ​​returning it, and instead decided to throw the ring to the boss. Instead of being buried in the soil to accompany the corpse, it is better to let it play another role.

  —On the surface, this is a thank you gift to the boss for allowing him to go abroad.

  Jiang Xia: "..." But in fact, approval to go abroad is just a matter of effort, rounding it up means doing nothing. Boss should not just accept things and do nothing. I hope that after he gets the ring, he will give an extra small thing as a return gift, such as Hashimoto Maya or something—in the eyes of the boss, it is just a peripheral tool person who is about to be silenced. .

  As for Curaçao, I asked her for someone last night, but there is no reply yet. It seems that in this matter, she and Rum behind her are hard to count on, so it's better to use another person to handle it.

  It is indeed difficult to mobilize other people's confidantes. But first of all that confidant is a member of the organization, and second is Ireland's subordinates. If the organization starts to transfer people, Hashimoto Maya has no reason not to change his boss.

Thinking this way, seeing that Qin Jiu was still hesitating, Jiang Xia once again praised the sapphire: "Don't you think its name is also very meaningful-'Stone of Destiny'. Our organization secretly controls countless people and countless countries. Even the fate of the whole world is most suitable for this stone... this gemstone, 'that lord' will definitely like it."

  Gin: "..." Only the weak believe in fate.

  He wanted to say this at first, but suddenly remembered that the boss was still listening remotely—he didn’t know whether the boss liked the ring or believed in it. If "that lord" intends to accept it, but he says that sentence himself, wouldn't it be quite embarrassing.

   After a while, Gin closed the lid of the box and said, "I'll pass it on later."

   After a pause, he warned again: "The task given to you by the organization is to expand the reputation of a detective and gradually infiltrate into the upper class—less development of unscrupulous side jobs, as stolen goods are the easiest to leave traces."

   "I'm not interested in being a strange thief, I just brought it back when I met it by chance." Jiang Xia waved his hand, "Okay, I've finished what I need to say. Just send me near my home."

  Vodka came back to his senses, lifted his spirits, and said coldly: "The investigation about the plane is not over yet, you must be under our surveillance now."

  Jiang Xia was stunned: "I don't mind staying with you, but I'm very busy this week. How about next week?"

   Vodka: "…?"

  Jiang Xia counted: "I will have an exam on Friday, and there will be a banquet on Saturday night. A congressman wants to commend me for the plane."

  Gin: "It's only Monday." A few days is enough to organize an investigation. After all, "Jiang Xia" is a celebrity, unless the organization doesn't plan to use it again in the future, it is impossible for the organization to detain him for too long.

Jiang Xia: "But starting this afternoon, I have to cooperate with them to record live video to promote the campaign—the congressman's secretary said that there are many detectives, and my special feature is 'high school student detective', so I have to go to school to film my daily life .

   "In addition, if you have time, you should go to the detective agency and ask a few clients to talk about how they feel about me, that is, to praise me a few times, so that there will be enough momentum when the awards are presented later."

   Vodka: "…" Your daily life? What does your daily life have to do with school? You haven't been to school a few times at all.
