Conan's Corpse Picker

Chapter 255 Gin's mental journey

Thinking of this, Hui Yuanai said calmly: "I told Jiang Xia that I used to be a rich second generation, and was tricked by people fighting for family property. I just saw my former enemy nearby - my hair color is relatively rare, It’s easy to be recognized just by showing up like that, so I wanted to change my outfit.”

Conan: "..."

So familiar.

Isn't this the plot in the eight o'clock TV series that was broadcast recently?

Fortunately, Jiang Xia doesn't like watching TV...

No, this kind of rhetoric full of loopholes, even if Jiang Xia has never read the original version, it is difficult to hide it from him.

... It should be said that fortunately, when Jiang Xia encounters problems, he prefers to guess by himself instead of asking the bottom line.It's like guessing Conan = Kudo Shinichi long ago, but never taking the initiative to expose it.

From this point of view, Jiang Xia is quite considerate...

At the same time, after Hui Yuanai finished speaking, he tasted it for himself, and felt that this reason was not bad.

I have to make a string of words with Jiang Xia in a while, so don't go out of my way later.

……

While the two children were muttering about the seemingly important "big things" that were actually useless.

Jiang Xia had already completed the check-in procedures, and he and Toru Amuro walked to a place where there was no one nearby, and the two briefly exchanged the reasons for participating in the mysterious trip to Izu.

Amuro Toru's purpose is indeed to investigate the "Night Baron" virus, as Haibara Ai had speculated before.

Jiang Xia talked about his superficial reason for being here - a neighbor's friend accidentally sent a place, and the child insisted on going out to play, and he was also interested, so they came together.

Although Jiang Xia's "Dark Shark" target Jiang Yuan Tokino this time is sitting in the lobby, and he is destined not to survive this "Izu Mysterious Journey".

But Jiang Xia is not worried that Toru Amuro will associate this life with him afterwards.

First of all, Jiang Xia did not kill the person. He just went out with Conan in an ordinary way, took a relaxing trip in an ordinary way, and would encounter a murder case in an ordinary way afterwards.

Secondly, Toru Amuro may not know that Tokio Ehara is the assassination target of the organization.Regarding Jiang Yuan Tokio's assassination, although the secrecy is not high, "not high" does not mean "no", and this kind of list cannot be released to the public carelessly.Moreover, there are a large number of people that the organization wants to kill. When Toru Amuro collects information, he will definitely focus more energy on major events and important figures. There is no need to specifically find information about Tokio Ehara.

Taking a step back, even if Toru Amuro found out that Jiang Yuan Tokino was the target of the organization, it would be difficult for him to regard this matter as "Jiang Xia's plan", and he would only think that Jiang Yuan Tokino was more unlucky.

After all, there have been many cases in the past that "during the mission, organization members or mission targets were suddenly involved in a passing homicide and were then led by the dog".

Amuro Toru couldn't see Uzuo's "true face", not because his brain power was worse than Gin Jiu's, but because he and Gin Jiu had different information.

Back then, Jiang Xia Ansha, a diplomat, got the code name and accepted the "criminal planner" setting that Qin Jiu had added to him without authorization. He also wondered why Qin Jiu had such an extraordinary brain supplement.

Later, Jiang Xia had nothing to do. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that this seemed to make sense.

——When he was not an official member, Miyano Akemi defected. At that time, in order to avoid Qin Jiu's unreasonable troubles, Jiang Xia used Xiaobai puppet as a tool man, and afterwards, in order to destroy the evidence, he pretended to strangle Xiaobai to death , and twisted and folded the innocent "children" into the bag.In short, because of this incident, in Qin Jiu's eyes, he is far from a "good man with a good conscience".

In addition, Gin himself is an intermittently suspicious person - when faced with various "coincidences", he often thinks about the real cause and effect behind it as if in a daze, and refuses to let go of any clues.

These two characteristics, coupled with the fact that during the assessment, Qin Jiu gave Jiang Xia the task of "assassinating a diplomat", and the diplomat's wife stabbed the target to death with a poisonous needle. That wife had an intersection with Jiang Xia before... ...This caused Jiang Xia to become a "little expert in ghostwriting crime scripts" for no reason.

The various cases that came to light after that strengthened Qin Jiu's confidence in this speculation time and time again.

...In short, Amuro Totoru did not meet any of the above necessary conditions, except for the occasional suspicion.

So at least for a long period of time, you can safely follow the cases near him without worrying about him making up too much.

……

After hearing the ins and outs of Jiang Xia's "helping the neighbors take the children out to play", Amuro didn't have much doubts.

On the contrary, he was a little relieved: after Jiang Xia gradually left the work of peripheral members, he seemed to become more cheerful.Making friends, being friendly with neighbors, traveling often... these are the things people of this age should do.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but think of his youthful years in the police academy, and a few close friends back then.

It's a pity that all my friends are dead now, and the most loyal one died because of the organization.

...the evil organization in black will throw them all into prison sooner or later.

……

In the lobby of the Izu Princess Hotel.

As Jiang Xia was talking, his voice paused for a while, and he was surprised to find that Toru Amuro had a bit of murderous intent on him.

And the grade is not low.

There is a precedent for Gin, a long-term murderous energy supply machine. Jiang Xia looked at Amuro Toru, a bottle of wine that is not weak, and his eyes lit up very implicitly.

However, it is a pity that perhaps the murderous aura did not have a clear target, and when the ghosts drifted past, the murderous aura that had just been born had quickly dissipated.

Wu Tiangou rushed to nothing.It hung in the air, flapping its wings blankly, only to fly back again.

The mermaid was more irritable. She circled Amuro several times with her arms wrapped around her like a little overseer. After confirming that the man was not murderous, she patted him twice with her tail to vent her anger, and then she swam slowly. return.

Amuro Toru did not feel the "attack" of the mermaid.

Because of Jiang Xia's pause, he regained consciousness from his memories, and saw Jiang Xia sighed indistinctly, her interest was a little lower than before, as if she was disappointed because of something.

Toru Amuro was taken aback, realizing that when he recalled the past just now, his expression might be very bad.Jiang Xia probably thought she was accusing him of not doing his job properly.

"I was thinking about the mission just now." Amuro said calmly that he didn't mind Jiang Xia going out for a trip, "It's nothing, you can go and do your work."

However, Jiang Xia didn't leave, instead she took the initiative to ask: "Can I help you?"

...Although Toru Amuro failed to transform into a brand-new killing machine, he could at least attract a lot of cases.

Moreover, according to Jiang Xia's experience, every time he meets Toru Amuro when he goes out, he always starts with two ghosts.

This undercover agent is like a randomly refreshed double experience card. When meeting him, the efficiency becomes higher.

Chapter 256 I have to find a way to get rid of this detective

Seeing that Jiang Xia offered to propose a task, Amuro originally wanted to refuse.

But soon, he remembered one thing and changed his mind: "Help me attract the attention of other participants—you are a relatively famous detective, and those with gray identities will pay more attention to you."

In short, this is a peaceful paddling task, just to give Jiang Xia a chance to gain qualifications.

Last time, Toru Amuro ran into Jiang Xia at a hot spring hotel, and when he went back and registered tasks for Jiang Xia, he realized that there was a long blank time in his file.

This is not a good sign.

Peripheral members also have performance requirements. Although they are very loose, if they do not work for a long time, traces will be left on the record.

It is easy to be suspected by the organization, and sometimes when encountering some missions that require cannon fodder, the organization will give priority to drawing from such water monsters.Toru Amuro was also promoted from a peripheral member, and he is quite clear about this inside story.

So he felt that when encountering a task like this one that doesn't need to be done for a while, he can take Jiang Xia with him.

Jiang Xia understood the intention of the undercover agent, and didn't mind this arrangement: Conan, Haibara Ai, plus Amuro Toru, this is indeed a very comfortable paddling environment.You don't have to work too hard today, you should be able to pick up ghosts smoothly.

So soon, Jiang Xia turned his attention away from Toru Amuro and began to observe the members sitting in the corner of the hall who came to participate in the mysterious trip to Izu.

Among the members, there are a few characters that impressed Jiang Xia—for example, a man who is holding a computer and asks people "Are you the Baron of the Night" and then tests their response speed; The old grandfather and the maid with a fierce face behind him.

These are just passers-by.

Jiang Xia glanced around, and soon stopped on a man whose hairline was on the verge of death.

The man was dressed sloppily, with long greasy hair hanging down his shoulders, and he was drinking a can of beer. His slender eyes showed a squinting light from time to time, and his eyes were glued to the waist, chest and legs of passing women... This man was exactly Jiang Xia's target this time is Jiang Yuan Tokino.

Not long ago, when Jiang Xia was inexplicably dragged by Gin to eat sushi, she asked Vodka why Jiang Yuan was on the organization's assassination list.

Then I learned that a member of the organization was unfortunately hit by a corpse falling from a tall building while performing a mission, and died on the spot—speaking of which, I don’t know if it was an illusion, Jiang Xia felt that vodka was calmly moving away from him shifted a bit in the direction of .

After that, Vodka continued without changing his expression: At that time Jiang Yuan Tokio passed by the corpse and saw a good-quality briefcase, so he boldly took the bag away, and curiously tried to decipher the information in the bag—this man Although his character is anxious, he is a highly skilled programmer.

During this process, Jiang Yuan Tokio triggered the virus "Night Baron" hidden in the data, and the computer camera took his face and sent the photo back to the organization along with his location at the time.

Jiang Yuan Tokio was not at home at that time, but in a nearby Internet cafe.

After realizing that he was in trouble, he quickly slipped away.Originally, he was afraid that the owner of the Internet cafe would find him to settle accounts, but he did not expect that his evasive behavior just happened to avoid the members of the organization who heard the news and came to silence him.

After that, Jiang Yuan Tokio was on the organization's assassination list.

At that time, Jiang Xia fell into silence for a while after listening.

This incident is as utterly unspeakable as Xu Shengyi's cement incident before... But it's not important, as long as there are ghosts to pick it up.

……

Izu Princess Hotel, lobby on the first floor.

After Jiang Xia confirmed her mission goal, she took another look at the others.

Then he was a little surprised to find that the participants in this incident were indeed quite different from his impressions—not only was there one more Toru Amuro, but others seemed to have changed as well.

——Jiang Xia remembers that in the original world line, the host "Dark Night Baron" was a beautiful short-haired sister with a bad temper.In fact, she didn't have the virus named "Night Baron" in her hands at all. She just used this perfect virus that even a programmer wanted to get her hands on as a gimmick in order to trick Jiang Yuan Tokio into participating in the event and take the opportunity to kill him. .

But now, Jiang Xia didn't see a similar woman among the participants of the mysterious trip to Izu.

But according to the service staff at the counter, all the participants have arrived.

... Fortunately, the change of the murderer did not have much impact on Jiang Xia.

His eyes flickered among the crowd, and soon stopped on a cloud of murderous intent.

Exuding murderous aura was a strange middle-aged man.The man was handsome, with a suit and leather shoes, a watch, leather shoes, a belt, and everything else was very particular.

Jiang Xia saw that he was passing business cards to other people, so he also walked over to grab one.

The new would-be murderer is the boss of a software company named Kamijo Satoshi, who seems to be a very good-natured and kind man.

It's just that when no one is looking at him, Satoshi Kamijou will stare at Tokio Ehara's back, showing a murderous sneer.

Occasionally, he would glance at Jiang Xia thoughtfully, as if he was a little afraid of this famous detective.

Jiang Xia was relieved when he heard the ghost tell him the news.

Although Kamijou Satoshi would not delay him from picking up ghosts no matter who he wanted to kill, but if this person's target happened to be Ehara Tokio, then Jiang Xia could also get additional missions from the organization, accumulate meritorious deeds, and then receive more missions. Such a virtuous circle...

……

The participants introduced themselves to each other and tested their identities.This group of people wanted to find out the sponsor as soon as possible and get the virus.

Among them, Jiang Xia, as a well-known detective with two children, was the first to be ruled out: let alone where a detective got the virus, he is not like the organizer—the organizer wants Responsible for dressing up as the Night Baron and carrying out a series of troublesome actions during these three days. If Jiang Xia is the host, there will be no one to help him watch the children during his actions.

Anyway ruled out.

When Conan and Haibara Ai listened to these reasonings, they had half-moon eyes the whole time.
