Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 769 Change your glasses

  ——It should be that when Mian Guanyi buried the object, he was afraid that he would get old and forget the specific location of the object, so he left a cosmos here as a guide for himself.

  Okina Subaru squatted down while thinking instinctively, picked a very narrow area according to the place Uzo pointed, carefully digged, and placed the soil that was dug up next to it in order.

   After digging for a while, he suddenly felt that the tip of the shovel touched something hard.

   Okiya Subaru was startled, put the soil and the folding shovel aside, and switched to digging by hand, so as not to damage the objects that could be used to threaten.

   Under the slightly damp soil, a strange-shaped object soon appeared. The whole was like a circular hole with dirty impurities attached to it, and white was vaguely visible in the exposed place.

   "...?!"

   Okiya Subaru glanced suspiciously, his movements suddenly froze, his heart beating violently.

   He suddenly understood what he had dug up. Withered eye holes, a slumped nose—it was half a face so rotten that part of its bones had been exposed. It looked like a woman, her dyed hair was tangled in the side of her face, stained with soil, dirty and terrifying.

   Fear and disgust for the corpses of the same kind is the instinct of most people.

  Okiya Subaru instinctively wanted to back away while cold sweat broke out from his palms.

   However, before he got up, a hand was suddenly placed on the back of his neck, interrupting his escape plan.

  —— Wu Zuo was half-squatting beside him at some point, like a ghostly resentment, gloomy. The hand that rested on his neck was also like a sinister snake, crawling with traces of venom. Finally, the fingertips pinched his artery, and the palm of his hand pressed him firmly, making him follow the empty pair on the ground. Eye sockets meet.

"I am a person who trusts and takes care of my subordinates very much, so I hope my subordinates can return the same loyalty to me." Jiang Xia turned his face to look at Subaru Okiya, and recalled the common process on TV when the big brothers accepted their younger brothers. Start talking nonsense, pretending to give a stick and a jujube:

   "I read your resume, and you don't seem to like killing people very much. It can be seen that we are like-minded - that kind of atrocity without beauty is a blasphemy to life."

  “…”

  Okiya Subaru was forced to look affectionately at a dead corpse. He remembered what Wuzuo said just now, and then thought that he was sitting with Hideo Akai for tea a few hours ago, and he wondered if he was going to be buried here side by side.

   But he was still young and eager to survive. He smiled quickly and forcibly maintained his composure: "...It's an honor to have the same taste as you."

"..." Jiang Xia nodded secretly, very good, although the new younger brother looks a little weak, he finally didn't say something like "Forgive me, I have old people and young people" or something that ruined the atmosphere lines.

   He let go. He turned his head to look at the ghost.

The    ghosts shook their heads at him in disappointment.

  ——There is still no murderous aura lurking nearby.

   "..." When I was tearing up a disguise in the cafe just now, I didn't detect Shuichi Akai around, and I could barely interpret it as "the way of tearing up the face is too gentle to stimulate murderous aura".

   But now, he looks like he wants to bury people on the spot, but he still doesn't...

   Jiang Xia glanced at the new younger brother next to him with a complicated mood, and withdrew his hand.

   No one continued to press Chongya Subaru, but he still didn't dare to get up, and froze in place, squinting with the corpse on the ground.

"Okay, let's bury it back." Wu Zuo slapped the dust off his hands and said lightly, "As a gift to celebrate our meeting - use this information well. This is to make Mian Guanyi "disappear" from society key."

   Okiya Subaru: "..."

   He acted like a rusted machine, slowly shoveling and filling soil in order, restoring the small hole he dug.

   In this mechanized movement, Okiya Subaru suddenly remembered the few words about Uzo that he had heard before.

   - Uzo really rarely kills himself. But the targets he was staring at would always die one by one inexplicably, or become irritable and impulsive, kill others, and go to a miserable situation where life is worse than death. I heard that even the same astute cadres could not escape his claws.

After all, we are discussing the gossip of the ruthless cadres. No one dares to be too open and aboveboard. The matter about Wuzuo is also spread on a single line in the form of "I will tell you a secret, you must not tell others". The source is difficult to verify. A more reliable statement is that this came from a cadre who was in competition with Uzo, so unfortunately he was targeted by Uzo, and then fought wits and bravery with Uzo and escaped heroically several times...

  Okiya Subaru only felt that the pores on his body were exuding a chill of fear afterward - even such a powerful cadre regarded Uzo as a wolf, but he just thought that Uzo was a good man of the peace faction.

  ——Although Wu Zuo brought him to find the female corpse, it can also be explained as "Mian Guanyi buried the body, and Wu Zuo happened to pass by to see it".

   But no matter how you think about it, it's too much a coincidence.

   Compared with the ethereal answer of "Uzo is lucky", combined with Uzo's reputation, there is obviously another more reliable explanation.

  ——The reason why Mian Guan Yoshiichi wanted to kill the underground woman was because he was unknowingly influenced by Uzo.

   Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru became more and more aware that he had misunderstood just now.

   It turns out that in Uzo's dictionary, the extended meaning of "killing is simple and rude" is not "don't kill people", but "killing a little more fancyly is to make the best use of it".

  “…”

  Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru raised his wrist and supported the glasses frame that had slipped from the cold sweat, thinking that he should change a pair of glasses.

   Before, he felt that among the many peripheral members who were only reckless, he could be regarded as a wise man who was good at knowing people and had some strategies, but now...

  …

  Fear is not a pleasant experience, but it can indeed stimulate people's desire to survive and increase work efficiency several times.

  Okiya Subaru quickly filled in the soil, refilled the topmost soil that had just been dug up, compacted it, and then carefully covered it with the surrounding floating soil.

   During the aftermath, he looked at the shadow of Uzo on the ground next to him, and suddenly felt that the difficulty of his survival was elevated to S rank for no reason.

  ...In addition, when Uzo mentioned "trust" just now, was he simply trying to express his expectations for his subordinates, or was he warning him that he had discovered that the new subordinates were changing in the direction of Erwuzai? Even... he has become Uzo's target? ?

  "..." No no, no matter how talented you are, you must also pay attention to the Basic Law.

  Uzzo is really good at analyzing and inducing other people's minds, but he can't always read minds.
