Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 2001 2001【Do you also want to pick up Wuzuo? 】

While the two people looked at Maya Hashimoto suspiciously, there was a person next to him who was thawing from his frozen state.

Haihara Ai tilted his head, revealed an eye from behind Jiang Xia, and glanced at Maya Hashimoto quietly: "..." Speaking of which, this person's voice...

Before Haibara Ai defected from the organization, she heard that her sister had a boyfriend who was very capable and promoted quickly. But at that time, she was busy with research. She drank coffee instead of water every day and stayed up all night. She wished she could break one minute into 800 seconds. She was so busy that even the time to see her sister was dug out between her fingernails and she had no time to go there. Meet my sister's boyfriend.

So I knew it, but she was actually not familiar with Shuichi Akai at all.

But even so, Haibara Ai could tell that this person's voice was not similar to Akai Shuichi. Akai Shuichi's voice was a little cold and dull, but this Hashimoto Maya was obviously much more cheerful, and even had a slightly deliberate foreign accent.

Looking carefully, I happened to see Maya Hashimoto taking off his sunglasses - as soon as those eyes were exposed, he suddenly became completely different from Shuichi Akai.

Haibara Ai:"…"

 It seems that he is really not the same person.

How can there be people in the world whose lower faces look so similar? It’s really scary!

 …

 The person in front of her who scared her was also in a state of confusion.

Facing the number of police officers in the theater that made his scalp numb, Maya Hashimoto smiled appropriately and planned to be a good citizen who provided clues to the police.

However, he had just explained his new hat and glasses when a voice sounded first.

 A skinny kid raised his hand and pointed at him, and with the other hand he had the courage to grab Jiang Xia's trouser leg. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was so angry that he said, "Brother Jiang Xia, that's him!"

Maya Hashimoto: "?!" It's me, what have I done, you kid, don't point your fingers!

 A bad premonition suddenly came over him.

The next moment, Jiang Xia looked at him: "Mr. Hashimoto, I heard that when the movie was playing just now, you entered the movie hall and left in a hurry?"

Maya Hashimoto’s heart thumped: “I, this…”

He flashed so fast just now, and the theater was so dark, how could this elementary school student with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks see his position clearly? !

 Hold on, speaking of primary school students...

Maya Hashimoto suddenly had an enlightenment. He looked at Conan suddenly, and then at Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya under Conan's vigilant gaze. He suddenly realized: these two guys should be in the same group, and the kids next to them who are about the same age The same goes for brats.

For a moment, Maya Hashimoto's eyes twitched wildly: Uzo was so strict. When he said he wanted Baker Street Guerrilla, it had to be a "team". He wouldn't use just one Conan to make up the numbers... Where did he find so many scary children? of? !

Although he didn't know much about the other three children, judging from Conan and the scammer No. 2 who identified him, the other three must not be cheap!

His competitor is not a primary school student, but a gang of 5 people.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Maya Hashimoto suddenly felt a little sad: Thinking about how he worked hard and diligently in the organization back then, and managed to get through all the way until now, but he was actually bullied by a few brats in the workplace...

  It’s really hard for newbies to get along.

 But now, since he was seen and exposed on the spot, he could only bite the bullet and take this trick and find a way to resolve the crisis.

Maya Hashimoto thought for a while and decided to avoid the easy matter: "Actually, I came to the cinema because I had something to ask Mr. Harita. But he seemed to be in a bad mood recently, and he seemed to ignore me when he contacted me via email - I was originally I wanted to take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere of the cinema and come over to talk to him. Unexpectedly, when I entered the screening room, I found that there were not many people here, and it was dark and noisy. It was not a good place to talk. So I left again I'm planning to wait for him to come out at the cafe opposite. Who knows..."

 He sighed melancholy, referring to the body that was carried away: "Who would have thought he would die like this."

Jiang Xia just read their email exchange and seemed a little curious: "Are you going to buy that piece of land on the seabed?" Maya Hashimoto nodded: "Actually, before I came to be a detective, I originally planned to open a store in partnership with a friend. Although Now that I have a new job, I can’t just let it go right away, so I can only continue to buy it.”

The theater run by Uzo sounds problematic at first glance, but Maya Hashimoto doesn’t really want to admit it in front of the police and detectives.

 But when I thought about it, it seemed that Uzzo really wanted to open that theater in a serious way. If this is the case, then he is using a fake identity to buy and sell venues, which is obviously not very safe.

Although this new boss has cost countless innocent lives, there is one thing: he never does it himself, and he has the same requirements for his subordinates.

—In other words, Uzo, this lawless maniac, is unexpectedly very law-abiding, so now that he wants to open a theater, he probably won’t use this theater to do illegal things. So Maya Hashimoto finally bit the bullet and decided to use her identity to buy land and a house.

In this case, the police and Jiang Xia will know sooner or later that he is related to the new Haizhong Theater to be opened. Instead of waiting for them to find out, it is better not to hide it yourself and slowly lay the groundwork.

As expected, Jiang Xia didn’t ask further questions, and just said: “When your store opens, as long as I have time, I will bring people over to support it.”

Maya Hashimoto: "Thank you in advance." Oh, even if you are not available, Uzo will do everything possible to trick you into coming.

 He ​​glanced at Conan quietly from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw the child's eyes rolling, looking very interested in the "new store" he mentioned.

Maya Hashimoto suddenly knew: even if she didn't speak, the child would definitely drag Jiang Xia over. It is always difficult for children to arouse suspicion when doing things, and they have natural advantages.

But Conan brought Jiang Xia to the theater he was in charge of, so does this count as his achievement or Conan’s?

Hashimoto Maya was briefly distracted.

But soon, he was pulled back to the cruel reality.

Megure Police Department was obviously doubtful about his explanation just now. He took out the printed email of the deceased and handed it to Maya Hashimoto: "Is this your first contact with him? Have you never talked about a transaction before?"

Maya Hashimoto was startled, took the information and glanced at it.

 Seeing the offer sent by the deceased to the seller and the selling price given to himself, Maya Hashimoto said: "..."

 …This guy is so brave!

Feeling that this was outrageous, a cold sweat slowly ran down Maya Hashimoto's back, and she felt a little thankful in her heart.

—If there had not been this murder, then in order to complete the task of opening the theater as soon as possible, facing this lion of Haruda Masaji... he might have really given it.

 After all, Uzuo paid for the land purchase, and Uzuo was not short of money.

 But now, this guy who wanted to make a big deal is dead, hanging precariously in front of the projection window like a piece of dried bacon in public display.

Maya Hashimoto was sweating coldly, and realized something belatedly.

—Uzo may not care about the money, but he obviously doesn’t agree with this move of fooling him into thinking he was the one being taken advantage of.

and…

Uzo is indeed watching his every move!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Uzo, I just joined the job, I don't know enough about our business policy, and I don't mean to deliberately lose money." Maya Hashimoto reflected crazily in her heart, "I will definitely not waste money for the boss in the future, be careful with my budget, and be a normal worker .”
