Conan's Corpse Picker

... I don't know if it's an illusion.He always felt that this place was a good place to ambush.

Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes under the vodka sunglasses twitched, and he subconsciously looked back at the gin.

I saw Gin with a cigarette in his mouth, looking away from the windbreaker pocket, as if he didn't know the two people here, and he didn't see it, let alone respond to Vodka's gaze.

Vodka: "..."

never mind.The boss was present, and there were so many people in the hall, and Wu Zuo didn't have a deep hatred with him, so he couldn't kill him suddenly at this time.He can't always overreact like this.After all, according to the experience I learned from escape variety shows, the more panicked the easier it is to die...

Thinking of this, Vodka took a deep breath calmly, with a tough face on his face, and strode into the corridor.Teng Teng Teng turned a corner.

Then he almost bumped into Jiang Xia who was waiting for him at the corner.

When Vodka saw that face at close range, his heart skipped a beat, and he grasped the gun in his pocket reflexively.

Almost at the same time, another hand reached out silently and pressed on his wrist, interrupting Vodka's movement of drawing the gun.

"Drawing a gun in such a public place, do you want to be silenced?" Jiang Xia changed what Qin Jiu had said to him, and turned around and gave it to Qin Jiu's number one younger brother.

Then he stretched out his other hand and pulled out the ticket that belonged to him from Vodka's hand.

"Received." Jiang Xia shook the ticket towards the stiff vodka, glanced disappointedly at the murderous look on the tall man in black who had just been frightened out and was immediately frightened back, and let go of his wrist, "Go back Bar."

After breaking free from the restraint, Vodka took a sudden step back.

Then he raised his chin, forcefully let out a cold snort, turned around, and walked away at a fast pace.

Jiang Xia didn't go out immediately, but looked down at the ticket first.

This time they booked the Beidouxing train, sleeper.From Tokyo to Tottori.

Thinking about the other two tickets that he saw just now, Jiang Xia found that the two boxes were next to each other.Probably the person who booked the ticket felt that this would be more conducive to dealing with emergencies.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly, very satisfied with the arrangement.Qin Jiu may produce fresh murderous aura at any time - for example, when he occasionally thinks of someone who should be killed when he is reading a document, the murderous aura on his body will temporarily expand.

And boxes like this one next to each other are undoubtedly more convenient for Jiang Xia to send ghosts to visit at any time.

Even if the ghost stays in the gin and vodka box, at this distance, the act of "letting the ghost out" won't consume too much murderous energy.

……

After delivering the vodka tickets and leaving, Jiang Xia didn't go out the same way, but took a detour and left from the other end of the corridor.

Then he took the ticket and went into the station to take the train.

Now is not the tourist season, and there are very few people on the platform.However, Tokyo is the starting station, and the deserted scene may be because some people have already entered the car in advance.

While going down the steps leading to the platform, Jiang Xia leaned over the railing and glanced down.First, I saw Gin wine, which was wrapped in a high-end murderous look and was extremely conspicuous on the platform.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on a tall and thin middle-aged man in front of the next carriage.

The middle-aged man wore a pair of metal-rimmed glasses and had a high hairline parted in the middle. He followed another older man submissively, whispering something.

Different from his respectful and humble expression, murderous aura surged beside him.Although it wasn't a high-end murderous look, it was still a beautiful sight in the eyes of a psychic.

Jiang Xia took a brief look at this beater who was completely different in heart and appearance, and then looked at the boss who was followed by him.

Jiang Xia has seen a picture of this boss - it's on the cleaning list given by Qin Jiu.

This man's name is Izumo Keitaro, the owner of a jewelry store in Koshi City, and a well-known rich man.

But in fact, compared to the jewelry business, Keitaro Izumo's more source of income is actually drug trafficking.

In Gin's plan, the order of removing Boss Izumo was placed relatively late.

At first, Jiang Xia thought that Gin made such a decision because in this drug line, Izumo Keitaro, a self-employed man, was relatively less of a threat, so there was no need to rush to deal with it.

But now, after seeing the store manager behind Keitaro Izumo and remembering the social status of the boss Izumo, Jiang Xia gradually had a new guess.

——Gin was not in a hurry to start, perhaps because recently, Furui City happened to be running for mayor, and Keitaro Izumo happened to be one of the candidates.

Going to assassinate the mayoral candidate at this time is indeed likely to cause a big commotion.It's better to wait for the election to subside first.Anyway, Boss Izumo is unlikely to be selected.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia went down the last few steps, got into the car, and found her own box.

He put his luggage away, stretched his body, and planned to go around to see if Conan and the others were in the car.

However, just as he walked to the door, the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

...is the cell phone used to contact the organization.

Jiang Xia took out the phone, unlocked it and checked it.

I saw a message from vodka instead of gin:

[Meet dk07 by chance.Depending on the situation, we will blow up this section of the carriage and obliterate the target.A message will be sent to you 10 minutes before the action, remember to go out in time and evacuate with us.During this period, in order to avoid being seen or leaving images, try not to go out]

Jiang Xia: "..."

He just guessed that Gin put Izumo Kaitaro so low in the assassination list because he didn't want to make trouble during the mayor's election.

It turned out that within a minute of reaching this conclusion, Gin told him with practical actions that this was not the case.

... is that his understanding of organizational behavior patterns is not deep enough.Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

After that, he moved his gaze to the number.

"dk07" should refer to Yun Qitaro——Jiang Xia remembers that in the assassination list he saw, there was indeed a note in brackets after the name of Izumo Keitaro, which contained these characters.

Having said that, there are just a few targets who are not even peripheral members, and they even got a temporary number alone... Has there been such a thing in the organization before?

Jiang Xia recalled it carefully, and found that the important list was out of his reach.But in my impression, unimportant people used to refer to who killed who.

…the organization seems to be getting more and more formal.I hope that this strange change that keeps pace with the times will not affect his paddling to pick up ghosts.

While distracted, Jiang Xia reflexively typed "received" in the reply column.

When he finished typing and was about to send it, he came back to his senses, deleted these two words again, and typed new words:

[Why don't you let me try first.In fact, I also made some preparations for today's event.

It's still a long way to Tottori, and if I don't succeed, there's still time to drop the bomb. 】

Not to mention the power of the bomb.The fact that it is difficult for the shikigami to be used effectively by Gin Jiu makes Jiang Xia feel that it is necessary to avoid Gin Jiu's attack as much as possible.

After editing, click Send.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the phone vibrated again.

This time, it was no longer vodka's ghostwriting reply.

It was a message directly from Gin: [His destination is also Tottori? 】

Chapter 381 The organization is targeting Jiang Xia! ?

Just now on the platform, when the mermaid swam over diligently to inspect the two murderous groups, she also saw the tickets of Yun Qitaro and his store manager by the way, and knew their destinations.

So even without spoilers, the gin question isn't hard to answer.

Jiang Xia replied quickly: [OK]

After the message was sent, there was no movement on the phone for a full minute.

After a while, Gin's new reply arrived: [OK]

...This is an agreement to stop using bombs and let Jiang Xia try to "assassinate" in a more peaceful way.

Jiang Xia was not surprised by this reply.

Gin likes to use firepower to solve problems, but he thinks that is the most efficient way.

But this time, it is obviously more efficient to let the god of death kill people quietly than bombs.

Because if a bomb is used to send a whole car to heaven, they will have to transfer late at night.

But if it is done according to the "Uzo" method, the gin and vodka can be directly slept in the car, and the target is dead when he wakes up, and the follow-up will not be too troublesome.

Jiang Xia put away her mobile phone, and then thought, later, when she had time to go out with gin and vodka, she drove Xiaobai to silence all the bombs in their bags.

If this kind of weapon of mass destruction explodes in a crowded place, it will undoubtedly explode a group of violent ghosts.

And this is too heavy for a young psychic who passed by innocently...

……

The box next door.

Qin Jiu silently looked at Jiang Xia's reply, thoughtful.

Vodka next to him glanced at the screen twice, moved uncomfortably, and whispered:

"Brother, do you really want to listen to him? The time is too short this time. Besides, the compartments in the car are all locked, and the target is not the kind of extroverted talkative person. The venue here is very narrow. If Uzo is unfortunately exposed , implicated in..."

"... Hasty." Qin Jiu repeated the word in a low voice.At the same time, he quickly sorted out all the recent contacts with Jiang Xia in his mind.

A few seconds later, Gin showed a clear sneer:

"No wonder he mentioned the Big Dipper when he was talking about the mission schedule last time—it seems that he has already set his sights on Izumo Keitaro."

Thinking about it carefully, among the assassination targets shown to Uzo this time, others were in Tottori Prefecture or even further away, and only Keitaro Izumo was closest to them.

For Uzo, who is so lacking in excitement recently that he does not hesitate to go racing with passers-by, Izumo Keitaro is obviously more attractive than those targets that are hundreds of kilometers away and difficult to reach.

Facing him, Wu Zuo really held back for a week and did nothing, which was rather strange.

...Since this is the case, then this "encounter" with Izumo Keitaro will definitely not be a simple accident.

After listening to Gin's words, Vodka was stunned for a while, and said in shock: "...This is also Uzo's plan?!"

He suddenly felt that the Big Dipper ticket in his pocket was particularly scary; the gun in his elder brother's hand suddenly became terrifying.

Gin was used to Vodka's fright when he mentioned uzzo.

He didn't care about the panic of this stupid little brother, and nodded calmly.

Qin Jiu felt that he had this idea of ​​"Uzuo's arrangement in advance", not because of his blind trust in Uzuo, but because he had a certain basis.

——The train they took will pass through Yokohama, Nagoya and other places before arriving in Tottori Prefecture.

In other words, passengers who get on the train in Tokyo may not necessarily get off in Tottori.

From when he and Vodka met Izumo Keitaro on the platform, to Izumo Keitaro entered the box, Gin has been observing this mission goal.

Therefore, he knew very well that during this period, Keitaro Izumo did not talk about topics related to the destination.

Uzobi and the others drove at night, but they were able to confirm that the destination of Izumo and his party was Tottori without any contact with Keitaro Izumo...
