Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 771 I will

   Take care of your own affairs. That night, Jiang Xia put on the cat vest again and drove the cat to the cafe.

   He saw that Okiya Subaru was still in the corner of the second floor of the cafe, with a laptop in front of him, precise time management, switching back and forth between thesis work.

In the middle of the night, after the lights in Mian Guanyi's house went out, Subaru Okiya didn't leave immediately. He continued to stare for a while, and found that no one came out and there was no change, so he yawned, carefully saved the paper, and returned to the room. Hotel booked before.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   When we first met, Okiya Subaru seemed to have the potential to draw a water monster, why did he suddenly become so dedicated...

   He was lying on the wall, resting his cheeks on his cat's paw in a bored way, watching Subaru Okiya return to the hotel.

   suddenly felt that he might be unexpectedly a good boss - he could make the water monster change its past and work hard.

  …

   The next day, Jiang Xia took the time to drive the cat over again.

   Then, before the end of the mission, Okiya Subaru seemed to be rooting in this area and had no intention of leaving at all.

   If you keep staring at it, your efficiency may be very low.

  Jiang Xia took advantage of Chongya Subaru's distraction, threw a messenger on him, then returned to the main body and started busy with his own business.

  …

  On the second day after receiving the "mission teaching", Okiya Subaru already had a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain and general situation after yesterday's accumulation.

   He recalled the "teaching" process of Uzuo yesterday, and found that although the skill of "planning a case" was very powerful, when he listened to it, he did have a feeling of "sudden realization", "So it is", "I seem to be able to do it".

   But now, as soon as Uzo left, Okiya Subaru thought about it again, and found a mess, and couldn't understand how the other party did it.

  "..." After realizing this serious problem, he briefly fell into thought.

   At the same time, I couldn't help but think, after this teaching task, what if the next time, or the next time, Wu Zuo let himself plan on his own?

  ...I don't have any ideas when I think about it, I just feel that my brain hurts.

  Okiya Subaru sighed, and had to put this bleak future aside for the first time—it was useless to think too much, and by then, he might have already run away. Compared to this uncertain future, the most important thing right now is the task at hand.

  Okiya Subaru thought, although he still can't control the essence of "manipulation cases".

But just by guiding others to discover the corpse in the field, and then proving that the corpse is related to the target Mian Guanyi, the task should be completed - of course, he did not forget Wu Zuo's warning, knowing that in this process, he must not be People get the handle.

So on this day, Okiya Subaru took a lot of measures such as "Building roadblocks on other roads so that others can only pass by the burial ground", "Throwing a brightly colored flyer near the burial ground from a blind spot no one can see, entice others to accidentally find a dead body while 'cleaning the trash'".

  …

   After a day, the body was still buried well, and no one noticed at all.

   Okiya Subaru: "..."

  ... Until then, he didn't really realize the complexity of things.

  The burial site, after all, is on a private land, and normal people will not go in at all.

   Even if you go in, you won't dig around in the ground near the corpse.

  …

   Time flies, and soon it will be the third day, Saturday.

   There are only two days left until the deadline for the task - the board.

With a pair of weak dark circles under his eyes, Subaru Okiya thought about the pain and came up with a new plan - since ordinary people can't do that kind of thing, the only way is to... find some bear children to invade private territory and then dig soil. .

  Of course, Okiya Subaru thought, in order to avoid the psychological shadow of the children, when he was about to dig out the corpse, he would hold the tool child away in advance and dig the rest by himself, trying not to hurt their young and fragile hearts.

  …

   When Okiya Subaru was wearing the dim light of the early morning, he was thinking hard and thinking about a new plan.

   Jiang Xia took a leisurely sleep and slowly got up.

  After rubbing breakfast at the neighbor's house next door, he came to the detective office to sort out the commissions that had been piled up in the mailbox recently, and by the way, to see if the boss was there or if he had encountered a new case.

  Unfortunately, Amuro Toru is still not in the office.

   However, while packing up the newspaper, the doorbell rang suddenly.

   Jiang Xia was startled, turned to look at the door, and found that the person who came was a fierce-looking man.

   The client with the face of a villain has a very direct personality. After ringing the doorbell, he directly pushed the door and came in.

   Seeing Jiang Xia approaching, he looked at the detective and went straight in: "I want to ask you to help me find my sister."

   "..." Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

  ...It was a coincidence that the client found him here.

   He pointed to the sofa in the living room and motioned for the guest to sit down: "Please wait a moment."

   Then go to get the entrustment form and make tea for the guests by the way.

   When the water boiled, Jiang Xia looked at the steaming pot and sighed:

   I don’t know if it’s an illusion, since the last time we went out together, the boss hasn’t come to the detective office very often.

   In the past, Amuro Toru would often stop by and take a look when passing by. If he encounters a guest, he will instinctively help with chores and reception.

but now……

  Without a skilled worker, Jiang Xia could only do chores by himself.

   By the time the client fills out the registration form, the tea has already been brewed.

   Jiangxia brought tea and snacks. While putting down the tray, he himself sat opposite the client, picked up the registration form, and glanced at it quickly.

   The fierce-looking client leaned on the sofa and calmed down a little.

   He opened his mouth to add what was not written on the form:

   "A month ago, my sister Koda Sanae suddenly disappeared.

"—None of us are natives of Tokyo, but were born in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. Six years ago, Sanae went to Beijing with several graduates of the same period and found a good job at Toto Securities Co., Ltd. She is a A very good and capable person...

   Having said this, Koda Masao realized that he had digressed, he pressed his forehead wearily and turned back to business:

   "But on the night of the 8th of last month, Sanae suddenly disappeared.

   "I didn't hear about it until two days later. After that, I booked a ticket to Tokyo overnight, rushed to her company, and asked her colleagues to find out her whereabouts.

   "The colleague said that at 8 o'clock that night, Sanae left the company after get off work, and before leaving, she said she was going to see a client - that was the last time those colleagues saw Sanae.

   "And the 'customer' they said Sanae was going to meet—"

   Koda Masao, with a trace of uncontrollable anger and a murderous aura that surprised Jiang Xia, took out a photo from his bag and slapped it on the table:

   "It's this guy, Yoshiichi Mianguan!"
