Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1946 1946【Disgraceful Boss】

　　Rum: “…” In this case, it’s better to start cultivating Bourbon from now on and enhance his skills in this area.

In this way, when he officially transfers Uzo in the future, maybe this can also become a tenable reason for the transfer.

 …

the other side.

Toru Amuro walked a little way and looked back at the dining car from a distance. He couldn't help but frowned suspiciously, feeling strange about the crispness of rum.

"I thought he wanted to ask a few questions or give me some reminders to prevent me from acting without permission and unintentionally interfering with his mission after I was out of sight, but he didn't say anything?"

Toru Amuro thought to himself: "Then what is he doing here? Does he believe that any of my actions will not interfere with his purpose today? - It is impossible that he really came to participate in the food party."

 The test failed, which made Toru Amuro feel a little confused for a moment. At the same time, he couldn't help but guess whether Rum had noticed something, so he deliberately didn't disclose any information so that he could reveal his flaws in his anxiety. In his impression, this boss was very suspicious and had never stopped doubting him.

"In this case, I'd better not continue testing for the time being." Toru Amuro decided to play it safe. Stop when it's time to stop. This is the key to being an undercover officer.

 As for now…

"The capital is out, let's go and have a look at Jiang Xia." Toru Amuro thought of the weird woman just now, and Jiang Xia who became weird as a result, "There are too many citizens coming and going here. If anything happens, Something bad is going to happen. And Jiang Xia looks a little strange. This incident is different from the usual cases, and there seems to be another hidden story behind it."

As Toru Amuro thought, he reviewed the hidden routes and locations around him, guessing Jiang Xia's whereabouts.

 …

Jiang Xia looked at the small note she received when selling lunch just now.

This paper has a special texture and is exactly the same as the anonymous letter I received at the detective agency not long ago. To an observant detective, this is equivalent to shouting with a loudspeaker: The two letters were sent by the same person, and there must be a hidden secret behind the matter.

 So as a famous detective who is easily tempted by curiosity, Jiang Xia naturally came to the appointment immediately.

There is a small park near the food court, separated from the square by a low fence - this is the place where the sender of the letter asked him to meet.

There are usually not many people in this small park, but now there are lively activities in the food court, and there are even fewer people here.

 Jiang Xia arrived at the place and saw a clean bench. He waited for a while but didn't see anyone, so he simply sat down and showed a very patient attitude that he would not leave until someone came.

 …

Hard work pays off.

Not long after, amidst the rustling of leaves in the wind, Jiang Xia smelled the aroma of fried eggs from the woods behind her.

 The noisy movement can cover up the sound of footsteps, but it cannot cover up the fact that the piece of fried egg is getting closer.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 Speaking of which, Tormaru Naoko's previous murderous aura clearly did not have this unique fragrance.

 But after she successfully escaped from prison, survived the pursuit of Saburo Inozuka, and joined the organization, her murderous intent changed qualitatively.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but fell into deep thought: He didn't know which of these three things was the cause of the qualitative change.

If it was because he joined an organization, then the organization would be so magical, it would simply be a murderous dye. However, if we think about it strictly, some members of the organization have very ordinary murderous intent. I think this has something to do with their own quality.

Jiang Xia was thinking about whether he could bring a few people in, while paying attention to the movement behind him.

 He resisted the temptation to turn back according to his instinct and pretended that he didn't find anything.

At this moment, an anesthetic needle flew from behind, penetrated the clothes on his back, and then quietly... stuck on a layer of puppet clay.

“…” Jiang Xia didn’t know the specific effect of this anesthesia needle collected by Toriyama Naoko.

I wanted to refer to Conan’s needle and fall asleep directly, but then I thought about it, that would be too boring.

But if she continued to be active and active, Naoko Toriyama might be so frightened that she would turn around and run away.

 After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia decided to make a compromise.

He yawned as if he was sleepy: "Who?"

Torimaru Naoko saw that the needle had indeed penetrated in, and saw that Jiang Xia's movements had become slower, so she approached doubtfully.

Then he plucked up the courage to reach out and snatched away his stick.

—After all, he was planning to abduct a famous detective, so Toriyama Naoko did some homework beforehand. Specifically, she carefully examined many cases related to Jiang Xia.

Although the media did not release some violent scenes, Naoko Tormaru was not too stupid after all. Combined with the course of the case, the comparison of the prisoner's before and after conditions, and the occasional silhouette revealed in Jiang Xia's pocket...

The process by which those prisoners went from being arrogant to being in tatters is actually very easy to guess.

Torimaru Naoko saw so many of these changes that she felt a little palpitated, so she immediately chose to disarm. The photos of the prisoners hurt when she looked at them. Even if she died, she would never want to be stepped on the ground and kicked around again. Knocked into a pig's head and followed in the footsteps.

 On the way here, the corresponding steps have already taken shape in her mind.

Torimaru Naoko approached from behind, threw the anesthetic needle, and disarmed her in one go. Then she took out an empty gun, put it against the back of Jiang Xia's head, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Don't move."

Jiang Xia clearly didn't look back once, but he actually knew who she was. He asked calmly: "I didn't expect you to come back to me. Where have you been hiding these days when you ran away? My classmate Where is your school girl?"

Torimaru Naoko held the gun in her hand and was supposed to be in a strong position against the kidnappers, but she found that Jiang Xia was not at all panicked when faced with this scene.

This made her a little uneasy, always worrying that Jiang Xia had guessed something in advance. But at this point, there is no way out.

Torimaru Naoko resisted the fear of being visited by that thing at any time, and spoke slowly: "Don't you think there are too many cases happening around you?"

I thought Jiang Xia would reply with something like "What do you mean?", so that she could reveal the existence of "that person", and then when Jiang Xia was shocked, she took the opportunity to invite him to set up a trap to catch that person out.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia paused for a moment, then touched his chin and said with a sympathetic look: "Indeed."

 Torimaru Naoko: "?"

Jiang Xia: "It's as if someone is deliberately manipulating those poor criminals and victims, letting them repeatedly perform boring and sad dramas around me - and you and my poor school girl are also among them. one."

 Torimaru Naoko: “?!”
