Conan’s Corpse Picker

Lawyer Xun nodded. He searched for it in his bag, took out a photo, and pushed it in front of Jiang Xia against the table.

Jiang Xia picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was a single photo of a woman. The person above was young and beautiful. When paired with the bearded lawyer Xun, they looked more like a father and daughter than a couple.

Lawyer Xun: “This is my wife, Hemei.”

Jiang Xia handed the photo to Maya Hashimoto and asked him to look at it too.

Maya Hashimoto took over. Finding cats and catching mistresses is the basic business of a detective. And compared to murder, he, a person who changed careers from an organization, is actually better at this.

In normal times, Maya Hashimoto would have taken the initiative to take over the job. But now he felt that there was something fishy about it, so he asked cautiously, "Is there any more detailed information?"

Lawyer Xun nodded and gave his wife’s name, address, usual places and workplace.

Jiang Xia looked through the information and asked for details: "Are you already sure that she cheated and want to find the specific person she cheated on, or do you just have doubts in your heart and there has never been conclusive evidence?"

Lawyer Xun thought: "Although I haven't seen it, I feel that she must have it."

Maya Hashimoto: “…” Is it there or not?

Jiang Xia: "Then do you want to find out the identity of the cheating partner, or get detailed evidence of your wife's cheating?"

Lawyer Xun: "Actually, she may not have really cheated on her. I still quite believe her."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Then why are you looking for a detective?

Jiang Xia took a strand of iced black tea, sat down, and continued to ask: "Suppose she really cheated on her, what kind of feedback do you want to get?"

Lawyer Xun: "Well...actually, I would rather get the news that she didn't cheat. If she did cheat, it shouldn't be her fault."

 Hashimoto Maya: “…”

 Che Zhulun talked a lot back and forth, and Lawyer Xun seemed very confused. After grinding for an hour or two, they finally finalized the content of the commission.

—It seems that Lawyer Xun obviously knew about his wife’s affair, but he didn’t want to admit it. He still wanted to continue to maintain this marriage, so he asked Jiang Xia not to expose the investigation of Mrs. Xun, as long as he found out who was the mistress behind it.

After finishing the conversation and leaving Lawyer Tatsumi's room, Maya Hashimoto was already in a daze: He could talk about such a small matter for nearly two hours. Is this really something that a famous barrister can do?

The love brain is really scary.

 …No, what exactly is this guy’s purpose remains to be said.

 …

Since Jiang Xia is still taking on other clients, and Lawyer Xun seems to be struggling in his heart, this nagging client did not directly request to start the investigation now.

On the contrary, he was very kind and gave Jiang Xia enough time, agreeing to wait until the matter between Mrs. Xun and Xun Zhengwan was over before conducting this investigation on the affair.

Jiang Xia was originally not in a hurry to check this. But unexpectedly, when the two of them finished their discussion and returned to the floor where Maya Hashimoto's room was, they happened to see Mrs. Tatsumi and Tatsuma Seimaru walking out together, as if they were planning to go somewhere.

"Have you finished chatting?" Mrs. Xun was startled when she saw them, and then smiled, "It's almost noon. We plan to go to dinner, let's go together."

Jiang Xia nodded, but then thought of something: "Where is Miss Akiko?"

Mrs. Xun: “She said she wasn’t hungry.”

Jiang Xia showed a worried expression: "If you don't eat, your body will collapse. I'll ask her to come with me - and she, the person who keeps the will of the head of the Xun family, is also vulnerable to attack. We should try our best to act together in the future."

 Speaking, he walked towards Curaçao’s room.

Maya Hashimoto: “…” I don’t know why, Curacao is obviously with Uzo, but she doesn’t seem to want to participate in these cases. Could it be that Uzo kept the script too secretive and even she didn't know the plot, so she was worried about being accidentally hurt? Having said that, it would be easy for something to happen in a script like this, where one acts alone without a team. Is she quite brave, or is this actually Uzo's request?

 …

Jiang Xia didn't care about the new subordinates who were secretly wondering behind the scenes, and quickly went to Curaçao's room and knocked the people out.

 Curaçao: “…”

 …This person is really annoying!

Of course she knew that going solo could lead to troubles, but she actually planned to take this opportunity to leave temporarily, completely avoid Uzuo's area, and then wait for the day when the will was made public before returning directly to Xun's house, avoiding a lot of trouble in the process.

 …Unfortunately, before the idea could be put into practice, this guy Uzo came over persistently.

"I've never been involved in any of your cases, why do you have to take me with you?" Curacao couldn't help but said bluntly in a low voice, "Isn't it enough to have those two?"

Jiang Xia was a little surprised and looked like she was doing her best: "You are usually busy with work and it is rare to have such an opportunity to have fun with public funds. Why don't you go?"

 Curacao: "..." There have been four murders in just two days. The only people you interact with every day are police officers. Do you call this fun?

 She had a hard fist.

Jiang Xia took a breath of fresh air and stepped out of the room: "Okay, don't wait any longer. If you do this again, I will report you to Rum for being lazy and sabotaging your work."

Curaçao: "..." Are you looking for rum? Do you know what it means to beat a dog with a meat bun?

But suddenly I remembered what happened in the park earlier, and Rum was still confident despite his hand being injured by the bomb...

 Curacao was silent for a moment.

 …Maybe it’s a dog beating meat buns?

 Suddenly a voice sounded next to him: "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

 Curaçao: “…I didn’t.”

Jiang Xia: "Then you are scolding Rum."

 Curaçao felt guilty for a while.

She walked out the door nonchalantly and interrupted the conversation with her actions: "Okay, hurry up and get to work. Aren't you going to have dinner with Mrs. Xun?"

 …

With the efforts of the detective who loves unity, this small tour group of five people finally got together again.

The three of them went to have lunch and went shopping.

 Maybe it was because yesterday's trip to the amusement park was too busy, but except for the case in the morning, there was no other incident today.

Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but lag a few steps behind, muttering next to Curacao: "One the day before yesterday, two yesterday. I thought there must be three today. But now it seems there is only one?"

Curacao didn’t look sideways, only his lips moved slightly: “I’m not interested in these.”

Maya Hashimoto: "Stop pretending, you are here to help that devil... well, come to help my boss who is wise, powerful, wise and resourceful."

 Curaçao: “…”

 For the moment she didn’t know whether to rebut from the point of "wise and powerful" or start from the point of "she and Uzo are on the same side".

Having said that, Hashimoto has become more and more courageous since he switched jobs to work under Usa, and he actually started to ignore her, a truly wise and powerful cadre.
