Conan's Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia finished his notes in the car, left his contact information for the police in Tottori Prefecture, got off the car and left.

At this time, the gin and vodka had already gone to pick up the car-the organization also has a branch in Tottori Prefecture, and they prepared the car for gin in advance.

Conan dawdled for a while, and found that the gin and vodka left first, and after a while, Jiang Xia got out of the car.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, feeling that the plan to prevent the two parties from contacting had succeeded—Gin Jiu really forgot to threaten the innocent detective because of business... Thinking of this, Conan waved goodbye to Jiang Xia in a good mood, and followed Mori Kogoro and Mao Lilan took a taxi to attend the class reunion.

Jiang Xia looked at the backs of the three people, and felt an urge to follow them for a moment—these three people walked side by side, no matter how they looked, they looked like something was going to happen around them, which was extremely attractive.

But after thinking about it, he actually didn't have much impression of "Moori Kogoro's wedding banquet".

In other words, the probability of an accident over there is not high.

In comparison, it really is the goal of the organization - the spider mansion is more worth visiting.

"Spider Mansion" is actually a nickname, referring to the Takeda family who lived on Puppet Peak.

Puppet Peak is the name of a mountain.Near it, the legend of the monster "Spider-sama" once spread, and related temples were built.

A few years ago, the current head of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinichi, expanded the site, demolished the spider temple, and built his own warehouse.

Later, people hanged themselves in that warehouse one after another. The body of the deceased was found too late, and his body was covered with spider webs. People nearby said that the Takeda family was cursed by Lord Spider.

In addition, the Takeda family is famous for making puppets, and the puppets need to be manipulated with thin wires, so their family has an additional name of "Spider Mansion".

And Takeda Shinichi, the patriarch of the Takeda family, is actually a member of the drug trafficking line that will be cleaned up this time.

Of course, for Jiang Xia, the more important thing is that Takeda Shinichi is actually one of the protagonists in a murder case...

Now, although Conan went to the wedding banquet, it doesn't matter, there is Hattori Heiji here - as far as Jiang Xia knows, Hattori classmates in Kansai also have the ability to attract murders, especially good at attracting serial murders.

As for whether Hattori Heiji will come today, Jiang Xia thinks it is not a big problem.

—— Hattori Shizuka, that is, Hattori Heiji's mother, after she returned to Osaka from Tokyo last time, she somehow heard about Jiang Xia's perfect score.Although Hattori Heiji's results are also very good, compared with Jiang Xia, it seems that there is a lot of room for improvement.

Hattori Jinghua felt that Jiang Xia's state of combining study and solving cases was very good, and would communicate with him every now and then.

Jiang Xia was also able to hear a lot of information from the enthusiastic aunt. For example, Hattori Heiji recently received a commission letter with money in it. In order to pay back the money, he had to go to the Spider Mansion in Tottori Prefecture to handle the case today. coming.

...Thinking of this, at the station, Jiang Xia struggled to look away from the backs of her two classmates and her father, packed her luggage, and prepared to leave the station.

Before leaving the station, he looked at the floor plan.

Then send a message to Gin:

【See you at Exit No. 5】

Exit No. 5 is the farthest from the taxi point, and Mori Kogoro would not pass by that direction to find his classmates. It is the least likely place for righteous detectives to see "Jiang Xia is in private contact with members of the mysterious organization."

If the problem cannot be solved by choosing a site, and you are so unlucky that you are witnessed on the spot, then you can only blame the leader: He said that he happened to meet enthusiastic Gin Jiu when he left the station, and he insisted on inviting him for a ride. Such enthusiasm must have another purpose. To find out, he ventured into the car, just like Kudo Shinichi took the risk of following gin and vodka in order to find out...

Reasonable, in short, very reasonable.

While thinking about it boredly, Jiang Xia followed the flow of people to Exit No. 5.

As soon as he went out, he saw an ordinary-looking Honda parked on the side of the street, with a relatively rare deep black sun film on the window to block his sight.

Jiang Xia secretly looked around, but she didn't see any strange elementary school students, nor any suspicious taxis passing by.

So he quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and sat in the back seat, which was the least visible.

In the front row is the familiar driver vodka and his big brother gin.

After confirming that he got on the wrong bus, Jiang Xia leaned back in the chair with confidence and waited for the stop to pick up ghosts.

The car leaves soon.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xia gradually sat up straight.

He looked at the strange scenery outside the window, his eyes slightly puzzled:

"This doesn't seem to be the way to the Spider Mansion."

Gin raised his phone: "The eyeliner here caught two mice, let's go and deal with them on the way first."

Jiang Xia was startled.

He glanced at the location information displayed on Gin's phone, calculated the distance again, and suggested: "Let's go separately, I have to go to the Spider Mansion first, and I made an appointment with someone earlier."

... have an appointment with someone?

Gin gave him a suspicious look.

Shouldn't the mission itinerary be planned by him? Could it be that Wu Zuo has tampered with it in advance?

Seeing this, Jiang Xia opened the backpack, reached in and touched it, and quickly found two folded letter papers.

He took out one of them and handed it to Gin:

"Actually, a while ago, I received a commission."

For Jiang Xia, the anonymous letter from the murderer sent from Moon Shadow Island a week ago seemed to be the beginning of good luck.

——The day before the business trip, Jiang Xia found another entrustment letter from the mailbox of the office.

It was sent by Shinichi Takeda, the owner of the Spider Mansion, who also carried 50 yen in cash in the letter.

Takeda Shinichi did not write the specific content of the entrustment in the letter. He only said that he was invited to conduct a secret investigation on important matters.

Chapter 387 The Unruly Uzo

Jiang Xia didn't tell Qin Jiu about it as soon as she received the entrustment letter.

Because this letter came a little late.

Although the possibility is very small, he doesn't want Qin Jiu to notice the specific timeline and straighten it out subconsciously, and then feel that Wu Zuo's "murder layout" sometimes seems to be hasty——Jiang Xia still wants to continue to fight against "Uzuo" With the identity of "Zuo", you can get tasks in the water, and you have to pretend to be a useful and good employee to get rid of the organization's murderous spirit and ghosts.

But at this juncture, taking out the letter will make it easier for people to focus on "there is actually a letter of entrustment?" On the day of the letter.

Qin Jiu took the entrustment letter from Jiang Xia, glanced at the finely worded words on it, frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and perfunctorily found an excuse: "I want to give you a surprise."

"..." Qin Jiu didn't speak, but a vein popped out on the back of his hand, and the letter paper between his fingers was also wrinkled.

The murder incident on the train yesterday, although it was Uzuo's own initiative, Izumo Keitaro was the last target to be wiped out, and the boss of Izumo is very close to Tokyo, there are plenty of direct staff there, and there are many more professional people in charge To deal with the aftermath, so Gin did not make any obliteration plans other than "killing with one shot".

So after meeting Keitaro Izumo and planning to blow him up with a bomb, he suddenly found that Uzo had a better way to deal with it. Gin really felt a little pleasantly surprised at the time.

But this time, Takeda's family's client list, drugs in stock, etc. all need gin to take care of them. He has already arranged the relevant manpower and made several sets of detailed plans.Although it also includes Uzo's temporary performance, if he knew that Uzo had an invitation letter from the Spider Mansion, the plan could make many better adjustments.

In addition, Takeda Shinichi suddenly wanted to invite detectives. This behavior itself also hides some intriguing information, which requires them to dig and analyze to prevent things from changing.Therefore, the invitation letter sent by the Takeda family is obviously important prior information.

But Wu Zuo didn't reveal a single word, and now he said that he had to deal with it in a hurry...

Qin Jiu thought of the layout he made all night long, and the fact that he might have to adjust their status quo, and his words immediately carried a bit of murderous intent: "This is a mission, not a game."

Before Jiang Xia had time to react, the mermaid and Xiaobai hanging on his body had already let out a surprised murmur.The two ghosts pounced on Gin skillfully.

Because the parent ghosts move very slowly, they are very self-aware and don't move, just watching them lovingly.

Wu Tengu and Miyano Akemi were a little more reserved.When they moved to the side of the gin, the murderous aura that had just grown had been almost suppressed by the two active ghosts.

The joys and sorrows between humans and ghosts are not connected.

Gin knew nothing about what was going on around him.

After he reprimanded the young subordinates who were obsessed with the layout and ignored the coordination of teammates, he saw Uzo nodded, as if he was seriously reflecting.Only then did he withdraw his gloomy gaze, and his anger eased slightly.

...Speaking of which, although Uzo's way of acting is obviously playful, at least his work attitude is not a problem, and in some things, he is even more positive than vodka.

Moreover, since Wu Zuo had a letter of entrustment in his hand, he said just now that he would "go to the Spider Mansion in a hurry", which meant that he should have already made a complete plan.

Although the logistics department in Tottori Prefecture is not as smooth as those in Tokyo, it is not too difficult to adjust the finishing work in cooperation with Usa...

After weighing the consequences of Uzo's self-assertion, Gin found that there seemed to be no serious consequences.

The mentality gradually calmed down a bit.

... Uzo did not do it right this time, but he is a smart newcomer, and after being reminded, he should take the initiative to adjust his way of doing things... At least the way he reflects now seems very sincere.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiu refocused on the assassination mission.

He turned to Jiang Xia and simply asked, "When will Wutian die?"

Jiang Xia recovered from the surprise of "discovering a new way to suppress murderous aura".

He thought for a while: "If it goes well, it will be after dinner."

As for whether it goes well or not, it depends on Hattori-san's performance...

Gin nodded.It's just past noon now, and Puppet Peak is some distance away from the station. Wu Zuo passed by now, arrived in the afternoon, and the accident happened in the evening. The time is just right.

And by that time, he and Vodka should have already dealt with the rats in the Tottori branch, and can rush to the Spider Mansion to watch and control the scene.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiu looked again at the letter of entrustment handed over to Jiang Xia.

He browsed carefully this time, and found that Takeda Shinichi didn't say why he suddenly hired a detective, and his words were mysterious.

...Could it be that he sensed that the wind direction was wrong recently, worried that the organization would attack him, and wanted to try to save himself?

Among so many detectives, Takeda chose Uzo at a glance... really good at picking people.

Qin Jiu showed a sneer full of malice, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the scene where some important figures came to Uzo for help when they were hunted down by the organization... Tsk, the organization should train a group of detectives earlier, so that it can save a lot of money The kung fu of assassination.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is not an easy task - Bourbon, who is not weak, has opened a detective agency for so many years, and he has not shown any signs of becoming a famous detective. It can be seen that this kind of thing also requires enough luck... …or enough talent for murder.

Uzo's success cannot be replicated.

Thinking of this, Gin's dissatisfaction just now finally disappeared.

He handed the letter back to Jiang Xia, and reminded casually: "When this kind of person jumps over the wall in a hurry, he dares to do anything. The things in his place may not be clean, you should pay more attention to it-the organization's rehabilitation center is not a good place, I I don't want to see you there."

Jiang Xia nodded.I thought to myself that there is such a thing as a rehab center in the organization?Are your facilities too complete...

Immediately, I thought of the organization cadre in the report who was allergic to the ICU because he smoked the flavored cigarettes delivered by others, and felt that this was indeed necessary—all people with allergies bumped into it, so maybe there were more cadres who were not allergic Having been exposed to addictive drugs, it is really useful to set up a withdrawal center...

The simple exchange is over quickly.

At Jiang Xia's request, Vodka found a random intersection, put him down happily, and then quickly started to leave, leaving Jiang Xia with a car exhaust.

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the back of the vehicle leaving, raised her hand to disperse the dirty air, and felt revenge for vodka in her heart.

Next time, we must find an opportunity to scare out the murderous aura of this tall man, and see what it smells like... However, with vodka, even if he only has ordinary murderous aura, Jiang Xia will not be surprised when he finds out.
