Conan’s Corpse Picker

On the opposite side, Mrs. Asahi’s attention was not on Maya Hashimoto the whole time, but was looking at Jiang Xia intently.

Mrs. Xun is her distant cousin. The two of them don't have much contact. It was only after Mrs. Xun entered a wealthy family that they gradually regained contact.

Mrs. Asahi has been in Tokyo for a long time and has seen a lot. She only met them politely twice, and she guessed the secrets of the Tatsumi family from the faces of Tatsuma Seimaru and Tatsumi Ryunosuke, as well as the character of her cousin.

 So as soon as the head of the Xun family passed away, she received the news.

It happened that Mrs. Xu was very interested in Jiang Xia, a detective who was involved in murder cases, so she casually chatted with Mrs. Xun about Jiang Xia and wanted to do a small experiment with her cousin. Sure enough, Mrs. Xun's heart moved quickly, and she brought her fake son over with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse.

“I didn’t expect that they were fine after being together outside for so long, but they died as soon as they returned to Xun’s house.”

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: "And the mother and son are both dead. It seems that I gave up too hastily before - maybe the wish of using detectives to kill business opponents can really be realized?

"Anyway, if you encounter any annoying opponent in the future, invite Jiang Xia to his house to try it first. If it works well, you will make money. If it doesn't work, you will lose nothing."

Across the way, Maya Hashimoto came back to her senses from the land incident. When she saw Mrs. Xu’s eyes, she was secretly alert: last time this woman was interested in Jiang Xia, it could be said that she wanted Jiang Xia to take over the commission. But this time...

Maya Hashimoto thought suspiciously: "Maybe she is also my colleague."

 Fortunately, maybe Mrs. Xu was good at pretending, or maybe Wuzuo really didn’t have that many minions. After noticing his gaze, Mrs. Xu finally withdrew her gaze reservedly.

Then the widowed rich lady picked up her purse and stood up gracefully: "I have a meeting later, so let's do this for today - we will meet again when we have time."

 …

After Mrs. Xu left, Jiang Xia looked at Maya Hashimoto's contract and politely expressed her curiosity: "This land...I remember there was an explosion before? What do you want this for?"

Maya Hashimoto’s face twisted: “It’s to do some small business.”

This is a lie.

 The truth is of course used to open a theater under the sea for Uzo.

 Uzo really spared no effort for his little hobby, creating conditions without the closed conditions of "Blizzard Villa" - there is no telling how many unlucky people will be trapped to death when this isolated island in the sea is built.

However, when it comes to this, Maya Hashimoto can’t help but feel worried: the land has been obtained, but the theater cannot be built directly on it.

Because Uzo specified that he wanted a theater on an isolated island, he had to follow his boss's instructions to transport the theater brick by brick, intact, and even the soil three meters underground had to be transported here.

“Why did Uzo choose that theater? It would be great to just build a new theater, but now the workload has doubled..."

Maya Hashimoto didn't quite understand his boss's hobbies, but he could only do as he was told: "Speaking of which, I remember that the island belongs to the Suzuki family. Why not just ask Suzuki Sonoko to present the island? - This minion has a lot of money, so he should I am very happy to contribute a small island to Uzo."

But he soon figured it out: "Although the organization is very hidden, it is not small after all. There are always some organizations that can notice it, and the forces related to the organization can easily attract investigations. It may be that Uzo wants to hide himself and It’s because of the relationship between the Suzuki family and me, an ‘outsider’, that I was specifically allowed to use formal channels to bring the island over.”

Beside him, Jiang Xia saw that Maya Hashimoto was distracted and knew that the sensible new boy was filling in the details for himself. So he didn’t ask any more questions and just waited patiently for his capable Irish ex-confidant to take care of the theater affairs.

There is a unique ghost like an earthbound spirit in that theater. Jiang Xia had felt it before on the island, but was unable to catch the ghost. She could only vaguely feel that it was hidden in the entire theater.

 It seems that the new ghost likes that theater very much. In this case, as a polite medium, Jiang Xia could only work harder and drag the entire theater back to Tokyo to express his sincerity.

 Now that the goal has been achieved, it should not be far from the time when new ghosts are added to the account.

 …

Maybe it’s because the last-place elimination system is really suitable for stimulating the potential of your subordinates, or maybe it’s because half of the goal has been achieved, making people feel that victory is in sight.

 In short, Maya Hashimoto's efficiency suddenly became higher. He spoke to Jiang Xia, his considerate boss, and successfully asked Jiang Xia to help make an appointment with Suzuki Sonoko.

"Want to ask my sister to buy an island she owns?" Suzuki Sonoko quickly remembered which island this island was referring to, and her look at Maya Hashimoto began to look strange, "Could it be that we met by chance a while ago? That theater island of yours? What do you want this for?"

From Suzuki Sonoko's point of view, what happened on the island was simply tragic: her friend's drama club was almost wiped out, and Mr. Taro Inozuka and Mr. Kazuma Kurosawa, who were on the island at the time, also died one after another. It was as if they had been killed. It was like something terrible had cursed me.

…Um? curse.

Suzuki Sonoko looked Hashimoto Maya up and down: "Are you possessed by the souls of your two friends, or do you want to buy it to commemorate them? I understand your feelings, but, you are really not afraid of buying it. Will I be cursed after I get off that island?"

Maya Hashimoto: "..." You actually dare to say that Uzo is a curse, how brave you are!

He has a lot of money and has no habit of complaining behind his back.

If you don’t know the inside story, Hashimoto Maya will really be frightened when he mentions that island.

 But the problem is that he knows very clearly: there is no curse or bad luck at all - even if there is, they are actually a embodied person, Uzo.

 Now, I am ashamed to say that Hashimoto Maya is already a member of Lord Uzo's command.

 As long as you work hard and don't make some obvious mistakes, it won't be a big problem...well, probably.

Therefore, Maya Hashimoto had no fear, and only felt that Suzuki Sonoko, a scheming colleague, was quietly stumbling upon him again.

So he insisted: "This world is materialistic. There is no curse, and there are no dead souls. I just like the design of that theater. I happen to have some spare money recently, so I want to buy it as a souvenir."

Suzuki Sonoko: "Hmm... Okay." It happened that my sister was also frightened by what happened on the island. It was just because she was too busy recently that she never had time to deal with it. Now that someone is coming to help, she should be happy too.

She then thought about it and said, "It just so happens that my sister recently asked us to go out to play. I will ask you to come with us."
