Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 778 Embarrassed to ask for a monthly ticket (`)

   Okiya Subaru: "!!"

   Thinking about the unintentional evaluation of the media, and thinking about the way Uzo completed the task, Okiya Subaru suddenly had some kind of terrifying association. He inadvertently stumbled on the roadside stone under his feet, and staggered two steps before regaining his footing.

   Ahead, the little mixed-race girl next to Jiang Xia heard the movement and turned around and gave him a surprised look.

When his eyes fell on Subaru Okiya's glasses, he seemed to think that this kind of thing was normal for a short-sighted person who was driven crazy by the paper. road.

"That... I'm a little worried about the gentleman just now. I always feel that he will act impulsively." Subaru Okiya made an excuse and said to Jiang Xia like an enthusiastic passerby, "I can't help you much in investigating the case. If you're busy, why don't you go to see him... If you need any help, you can come to me at any time."

   Jiang Xia nodded, grabbed the three bear children who wanted to escape with Subaru Okiya, and glanced at the back of Subaru Okiya leaving.

  ...Just now, the new subordinate's expression was a little strange, and it was vaguely familiar.

  Jiang Xia recalled it carefully, and found that Subaru Okiya looked just now, and he had a similar expression to when he suddenly found out that "Uzuo is not a good person", as if he had broken some great secret...

  “…”

  ... This spectacle guy who likes to think a lot, shouldn't he be trying to rip off his vest.

   Jiang Xia touched his chin and thought about it from Subaru Okiya's perspective, feeling that this is not an easy thing.

  ——First of all, unless Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai are promoted to the status of Gin within a year, there is no information about "Jiangxia = Wuzuo" at all.

   As for the connection between "Uzuo" and "Jiangxia"...

  There are many coincidences in the world. It is not unreasonable for a genius to solve a case and a man behind the scenes to exist at the same time in Tokyo. It is quite reasonable in the eyes of the world. After all, where there is black, there is white, and where there is light, there is darkness—Jiang Xia could have been a detective who vaguely sensed the clues left by Wu Zuo, but there was no concrete evidence yet, so he had to track down silently.

  ...Even if you dig deeper, everything will still be backed by "Uzo".

For example, in order to improve the efficiency of his mission, Wu Zuo deliberately provided clues and let the detectives get involved... If we dig deeper, at most, we can find out that "Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo's subordinate, and the famous detective usually finds cases to solve, Experience life, help Uzo solve a case at a critical moment, and experience work.”

   Even this most superficial layer is far from being as easy to dig as it looks.

Even if Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai really dig it out, the fbi is not the island police. They even have tourist visas, and if they are not careful, they will be deported back to the country-in the absence of conclusive evidence and only guesswork, " Jiang Xia" and "Akai Shuichi + Okiya Subaru" were placed in front of the police at the same time, no matter what they thought, the police here would arrest the latter first.

  …

   Jiang Xia pondered while walking.

   The only thing that makes people curious now is how much Hideo Akai knows about "Jiang Xia".

  ——The identity of the "peripheral member" of "Jiangxia" is indeed not a secret among some people.

   But no matter how bad the secrecy is, he is a member of a mysterious organization after all, and no one has ever publicized it with loudspeakers.

   And when Jiang Xia and Miyano sisters began to have contact, Akai Hidey had left the organization early in the morning and went to the United States. Usually, it is estimated that Akai Shuichi has no time to pay attention to a peripheral paddling employee. Even if Akai Xiuyi gossips a little bit and learns this piece of information, he will at most suspect that Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo have a little connection, so he returns to the previous speculation... eh?

  ...Speaking of which, if Shuichi Akai thinks that "Jiang Xia" is also Wuzuo's subordinate, will he take the initiative to approach him?

After all, when comparing "Jiang Xia" and "Okiya Subaru", Okiya Subaru, who is "always a fringe member", and Jiang Xia, who is "although he is also a bit fringe, but he is an ancestral member anyway", no matter what you think, Jiang Xia has more information here. , better promotion.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but feel a heartbeat:

If Akai Shuuichi was really so considerate, then he wouldn't have to drive the cat and follow Subaru Okiya all over the city—although the murderous aura consumed by the cat vest is minimal, if it is too far away from the main body, it will still consume a A heart-wrenching ration.

   However, heartbeat returns to heartbeat.

   Jiang Xia recalled Subaru Okiya's cautious and thoughtful character, and felt that he couldn't be too proactive. If you directly sell the flaws to Subaru Okiya, it will be like fishing with a straight hook, which is easy to do bad things.

  To be on the safe side, I had to be patient and take it slow...

   Regarding this matter, even if "Jiang Xia" loses the vest of "Uzuo's subordinates" one day, he cannot stand on the same stance as Uzuo. Instead, it should be a "justice subordinate who was persecuted by Uzzo but resolutely opposed to Uzzo in his heart".

  ——Since it is the main body, of course, we still have to rely on the good people.

   After all, although the black side's murderous aura is abundant, the red side can also pick up a lot of useful resources. The fact that the red parties are not exchanging information now does not mean that they will never exchange information. In the case of "all of them" with a little more thought, no one wants to only do multiple-choice questions.

  Although Akai Shuuichi is good at Jeet Kune Do, in modern society, hot weapons are still more favored by people.

  What Jiang Xia wanted to see was Shuichi Akai, who came to him face-to-face, who could be murdered and easily stuffed into a sack and carried away. He didn't want to be a few hundred yards away from a silver bullet with a sniper rifle.

  …

  Conan and Haibara Ai, although they also felt that Okiya Subaru was a little strange, but the other party seemed to be under a lot of pressure, and so far, what he said and did have a reasonable explanation.

   Therefore, as soon as Okiya Subaru left, the two of them took their attention away from him and didn't think much about it for a while.

"I don't think we can only listen to one side of the story - if there is solid evidence, the police must have gone to the yard of Mianguan Yoshiichi to search. And the current situation shows that Koda Masao lacked that the body was buried in Mianguan Yoshiichi's yard. ' corresponding evidence. Since there is no evidence..." Conan's heart was eager to investigate the case, "Why don't we try to find it first?"

   Haibara Ai remembered what Koda Masao said before he separated from them, and sighed: "His attitude just now, he should want to cancel the commission, should he continue to do it?"

   Jiang Xia followed her and sighed: "I can't ignore it."

   "...?" Haiyuan raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, thinking of Jiang Xia's inner leisurely character who loves to paddle, and suspected that there was something else hidden. However, if Jiang Xia doesn't want to say it, she'd better not ask questions in front of Conan... If Kudo Shinichi's thirst for knowledge is aroused, then it won't be able to stop it with a word or two.
