Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 354 Fishing for Shirley's Bait (2 in 1 Chapter)

After the    vodka proposal, he took a peek at Gin and found that Gin didn't answer the call.

   But he quickly thought, since the eldest brother did not directly leave a comment like "stupid", it means that this plan was not directly rejected... There is a drama, maybe there is a drama!

Even if their firearms are often sent for maintenance, the probability of fire is very low, but at least this can add a block to Uzzo - no one likes to be taken as a hostage suddenly, not to mention Uzzo is not obedient. In the second year of middle school, if Jinjiu decided to implement this plan, Uzo would reject him...

   Hey hey hey.

   Thinking of Uzo's rating in his elder brother's heart that was about to drop sharply, vodka was in a good mood.

  …

  Vodka is a qualified mind reader.

   On the way back to Cupido, Gin was really thinking about and refining his proposal.

  In the eyes of Gin, vodka is sometimes ridiculously stupid, but occasionally, when a flash of inspiration, it can also come up with a valuable solution.

   Gin remembered Uzo's usual indifferent attitude towards Miyano sisters, and felt that he would definitely cooperate with his plan.

   However, having a hostage means that there must be a corresponding villain.

  But now, apart from Uzo, the only members at the memorial service are Pisk, and Pisk has other important tasks.

If you temporarily transfer a few members over, with the virtue of the subordinates breaking the chain every day, once their guns go off, they will kill Uzo in a fake show... Tsk, as expected, we should wait for him and vodka to arrive, and then implement this kind of plan cautiously Bar.

  Gin estimated the road conditions and realized that it was still a while before he arrived at the scene.

   So he thought about it and edited an email to Jiang Xia:

   [Sherry may be present. If she tries to get in touch with you, find a chance to bring her to me and you should be able to recognize her. If the situation is inconvenient, kill on the spot]

   was about to send out, when Jin Jiu's fingers suddenly stopped and stopped.

   After a few seconds, he deleted the typed word and address, and instead entered Pisk's email address in the recipient column.

  ... Uzo has always been very positive when dealing with certain killing missions, and the content of this mission can just include "killing Shirley".

   In other words, even if he asked Uzzo to wait quietly for Shirley to contact him, he would probably not listen to the advice and instead take the initiative to attack, just like he took the initiative to run to harm passersby when he had nothing to do before...

   And if Shirley wanted to contact Uzo, she would definitely observe carefully beforehand. If Uzo happened to be looking for her at that time, and she sensed something abnormal, she would be shocked. After all, it is true that Shirley is kind and nosy, and it is true that she is timid, and may be scared away by a little trouble.

   So this observation task, let Pisk do it.

  The bystander is clear, some places may be blind spots for Uzo's sight, but Pisk can see it when he is standing next to it, and it will not be too noticeable. This additional task of observing only with eyes will not affect Pisk's original task too much.

  Thinking like this, Gin sent Pisk an email:

  [There is a high school detective named Jiang Xia at the memorial service, Shirley may try to contact him, or hide nearby to observe him. You can use this to find Shirley.

   After you find her, send me the detailed location, and if she does a disguise, send me along with her current features. ]... Then he forwarded it to Uzzo, and asked Uzzo to rush to arrest before Shirley could react. In this way, the two bottles of wine in the venue do their own work, and the division of labor is clear, so that they will not delay each other.

   Although this email may lead Pisk to discover Uzo's identity.

   But the secrecy of the identity of "Uzo" is not a hard rule, but a suggestion to prevent pig teammates from dragging their feet, which comes from the rich experience of Gin.

   Now that the incident happened suddenly, of course, catching Shirley was a higher priority than the "secrecy" stipulated in private.

   And Pisk is an old man of an organization anyway, and his mouth is stricter, so it doesn't matter if he finds out. What's more, he may not be able to find out that Uzzo really looks like a good person...

  …

  Cuphu City Hotel.

In the    banquet hall, Pisk was talking in a low voice with the chairman of the foreign trade association.

   Halfway through speaking, I suddenly felt the phone vibrate in my pocket.

   He calmly ended the conversation and walked to the side to check his phone.

The contents of the    mailbox made him slightly startled. High school detective?

   Piske quickly thought of the young man who was walking around and handing out business cards just now.

   He glanced at Jiang Xia from the corner of his eye, and there was a little doubt in his old eyes. Is this detective secretly colluding with Xue Li? Why did Shirley approach him?

  Speaking of which, the age of the two is not much different. A member of the organization who defected, a detective of justice, and the position is just the opposite...

These two characteristics reminded Pisk of a novel he accidentally read from Vodka: what kind of male high school student went out to pick up a beautiful villain who fell from the sky, and then the two began to fight and live together. of.

  ... This kind of thing actually happens in reality?

   The 71-year-old Piske took a sip of wine, shook his head and cursed inwardly, a shameless young man who really dares to pick up anything.

   Having said that, since Jiang Xia has contact with Xue Li, he must not let it go easily.

   Jinjiu was so negligent that he forgot to arrange what to do with this person... Did he finally catch Shirley who escaped and was overexcited, or did he hand over the task of dealing with Jiang Xia to other members? Pisk recalled that Gin had said that someone in the field would respond according to the situation.

   But after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be safe to ask one more question for such a crucial question.

   Piske replied: [How does the detective deal with it]

   After half a minute, a new email from Gin entered the mailbox:

  [Don't provoke him, you just need to pay more attention to Shirley]

  Pisk: "...?"

   The word provocation always feels a little subtle. It's as if in Jin Jiu's eyes, compared to the high school student who didn't have all the hair, he, a senior organization member, is the weaker party... Is this detective really that good?

  …

   Jiang Xia was still looking at Pisk one after another, admiring his murderous aura.

   But soon, he found that Pisk began to observe him obscurely in return - after checking his phone once.

   Jiang Xia didn't look over there any more, feeling a little puzzled.

Pisk shouldn't have suddenly noticed him as an unremarkable detective - even when he received his business card just now, there was a vague disgust for detectives, and he didn't want to look at him, but now he suddenly changed his attitude... What message did Ske receive?

   As he was thinking, the murderous mermaid floating beside Pisk swam back to Jiang Xia, poked him, and secretly told Jiang Xia the content of the email she had just peeped.

   Jiang Xia was thoughtful.

   Catch Shirley?

  Haihara slipped into the venue sadly?

  Jiang Xia was a little surprised for a moment——A timid person like Hai Yuanai ran over, will Conan still be far away?

  Blind box is expected.

   Having said that, Haibara Ai was present, but Miyano Akimi didn't notice it just now, and was still staring at Pisk's murderous aura... The ability to sense her sister is much lower than her ability to sense murderous aura. Jiang Xia secretly condemned the not strong sisterhood.

After    reprimanded, he let the fog tengu fly a little higher, looking for any children who sneaked in without authorization.

   It didn't take long for him to see the two dead children on the other side of the crowd with the help of the foggy tengu.

  Although I don't know what happened, judging from the presence of the two of them and the fact that Gin knew that Shirley would be there, things probably developed as in the original world line...

   Even though Huiyuan Ai stayed at home every day, he would still run to the scene at such a critical time. This was actually a path Jiang Xia never imagined.

   But speaking with conscience, for him, this kind of scene is actually very good.

  ——Gin heard that Shirley was present, and must be full of murderous intent at this time. When he carried his gun, rushed around with the cold wind and frost and snow, and found that Shirley had run away, his murderous aura would probably increase sharply... Jiang Xia thought about it, and couldn't help but touched the ghost mint in his pocket.

   This can indeed pick up a lot of murderous aura, but since the plan has changed, he has to make some other preparations.

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia found a dimly lit corner and leaned against the wall.

  The shikigami and the ghost wriggled through the wall, and in the empty corridor, they piled up and became slender puppets.

   After a minute, Anonymous straightened the hem of her skirt, lowered her hat, and hurried away.

  …

   Jiangxia hung up for a while.

   After finishing everything, his consciousness returned to the main body, and when he looked at the hall again, he saw that the door of the banquet hall opened again, and several policemen silently entered the hall and mixed into the crowd.

  Ten minutes ago, the Meguro Police Department received a call from Kudo Shinichi.

Brother Kudo told him that someone wanted to assassinate Congressman Tunkou at the memorial service -- when Gin first called Pisk, he hadn't discovered the existence of the bug, and his words revealed some information, and it was through this that Conan , speculated that the organization's assassination target.

  …

   Jiang Xia observed silently.

   Then before the police saw him, he picked up the wine glass in his hand, took two sips of wine quickly and silently, and secretly sprinkled some on his clothes to make himself smell of alcohol.

  ——The police department randomly grabbed the skill of the crime-solving tool. Sooner or later, he would find Jiang Xia at the scene, and then leaned over and asked, "What do you think?".

   If Jiang Xia didn't solve the case for a long time and didn't provide any clues, it would seem a bit abnormal.

   But if the case is solved...how do you say Pisk is also a veteran member, he can be silenced by the organization because of mistakes, but he shouldn't die to pave the way for new members to make up for it. Since the organization's salary and murderousness are mixed, there must be some superficial similarities.

   So we have to find an excuse not to solve the case.

   There are no car accidents, no explosions, and no fires here, which does not conform to the false "weakening buff" that Jiang Xia released before.

   But fortunately, there is wine here.

  ...pretend to be drunk.

  …

  Unsurprisingly, after the Mumu Police Department assigned the patrol area to the subordinates who had sneaked into the venue, they turned around and took two steps when their eyes fell on Jiang Xia.

   A little surprise appeared on his face, moving his slightly cumbersome body through the crowd, towards Jiang Xia.

The place where Jiang Xia stood was very inconspicuous. Fortunately, there were occasional bright and rich wives who glanced at him. The police department instinctively felt that there might be a problem with the people who were noticed by several people. Looking at it, he found Jiang Xia.

  ... With Jiang Xia here, after explaining the situation to him, with his observational skills, he might be able to find out the potential criminal soon.

   As the Mumu police department approached, they found that Jiang Xia was staring at the table, as if he was distracted.

   Until he leaned over and patted his shoulder, Jiang Xia raised his head after realizing it.

   "The Police Department?" Seeing who was coming, Jiang Xia was stunned at first, and then asked in a slightly surprised voice, "You also come to the memorial service? Don't have to work overtime today?"

   "..." The Mumu Police Department suddenly mentioned the sad thing of working overtime, and paused for a second sadly.

   After he came over, he was about to explain, but suddenly "Huh?" he said, and it didn't feel right: "Why do you smell like alcohol? You are not old enough to drink."

   Jiang Xia's movements were very inconspicuous.

   After a while, he slowly put the wine glass on the table behind him, moved his footsteps to block it, and explained to himself, "I didn't know it was wine just now."

  Mumu Police Department: "..."

   It seems that not only did he drink illegally, but he also drank a lot. Lies are so unskilled, it's no wonder that when he came over just now, he felt that Jiang Xia's reaction was slower than usual, and he didn't even notice anyone approaching.

   Can the case still be solved in this state... The Mumu Police Department was in a tangle, hesitating between telling Jiang Xia the details of the case and giving an ideological education first.

   Without waiting for a conclusion, the host's voice came from the other end of the hall with a background-like voice: "... Next, we will show the slideshows that the director of Jiujuan collected during his lifetime, please enjoy—"

As soon as the    voice fell, the prepared staff turned off the switch.

  The lights went out suddenly.

  The hall was plunged into darkness, except for a glimmer of light from the slide projector at the forefront of the banquet hall. The light that does not exist for the purpose of illumination cannot penetrate the banquet hall, and most places are dark and invisible to the human eye.

  At the bottom of the round table in the banquet hall, with Jiang Xia's consciousness possessed, the anonymous puppet, who had been waiting for a while, opened his eyes, lifted the tablecloth, and came out silently.

  The puppet has inherited the night vision ability of the ghost, and can see the surroundings clearly even in the dark.

  It was holding the skirt, its eyes moved slightly, and its eyes quickly fell on a few cameras - long before the lights went out, Jiang Xia had already stared at a few cameras that were convenient to "borrow".

   However, perhaps because Conan and Haibara were sad, things went a lot smoother than Jiang Xia expected.

  ——Not waiting for an anonymous reporter to choose a lucky reporter to borrow the camera, they saw a couple of men and women hugging each other in the dark, kissing passionately.

  Beside them, a witty reporter heard something wrong, his ear tip moved, and he raised the camera in his hand.

   At this time, Senator Tunkou had followed the instructions in a daze and came under the chandelier.

   In the background of the two cheaters, Pisk pointed at the chandelier and raised the gun with the silencer.
