Conan's Corpse Picker

Although it sounds absurd, but think about it carefully—these cats have a full range of breeds, and they are usually taken care of smoothly. Most of them are clingy, and there are a few rebellious ones. It will scratch people in turn... It seems very reasonable for Jiang Xia to maintain the cat-finding business when she doesn't have to worry about catching cats herself and someone can do it for her.

...just a little sorry for the customer.

but……

Amuro turned his head and looked at the Chocolate Mountain on the other side of the living room speechlessly.

...Even the owner of the cat doesn't mind, he'd better not meddle in his own business.

And Jiang Xia is not a cat abuser, the cats quite like him, except for a few lively elements who love freedom, the others are already familiar with Jiang Xia.

Toru Amuro temporarily stopped thinking about these trivial matters.

He remembered the purpose of coming to the office today, and asked Jiang Xia casually:

"I remember that a few days ago, you received an invitation letter from Moon Shadow Island—why didn't you see your report on solving the case on the island?"

Toru Amuro will be interested in this matter, and we will start talking about it early this morning.

early morning.

When he handed over the information about the Inoue Real Estate to Gin who came back from nowhere, he habitually glanced at the gin bag—for an intelligence officer, paying attention to all the scenes passing by is the most basic operation.This small gesture can be annoying, but it's not too suspicious.

In the past, it was difficult for Amuro Toru to get information from Gin in this way.

But today, for some reason, Gin's mental state didn't seem to be very good, and there was a faint sense of exhaustion after being tensed for a long time.

So this time, Toru Amuro managed to find an unfinished mission report in his bag.

Then I saw a strange word on it - Ouzo.

As an undercover agent of the organization, Toru Amuro memorized the names of various wines.

He searched his memory a little, and quickly remembered that it was a Greek spirit - it would appear on the organization's mission report, and it was undoubtedly the code name of an official member.

But the strange thing is that Toru Amuro found that he had never heard of "Uzo" before.

This made him quite concerned.

——In Amuro Toru’s impression, those who can go out with Gin on missions, except for some cannon fodder scheduled to be paid within the organization, and employees who are in urgent need of retirement, most of the rest are old people who have been in the organization for many years. Loyalty have been confirmed.

During the years that Toru Amuro was undercover, he had contacted many organization cadres with code names, and he was familiar with a large number of wine names.

Especially here in Tokyo.

Even if he has never met, he still has a rough list in his mind, and he can even vaguely guess what each person is good at... But this "Uzo" who popped up suddenly was completely unknown, and he was never on his list appeared.

...But Wu Zuo was able to go on missions with Qin Jiu.Moreover, judging from the location of the name on the mission report, "Ouzo" is indeed the participant of the mission, not the target to be executed.

In other words, he couldn't be an incompetent cannon fodder.

...Could it be a new face just transferred from another branch?

Or, Wu Zuo has always been a resident member of other branches, and is only in charge of cooperating with Gin when Gin is on a business trip?

...both are possible.

The former—the organization has a lot of affairs in the Tokyo area, and the attrition rate of members is also high. It takes a lot of time to train suitable cadres, and it is difficult to replenish manpower. The operation of transferring people is quite common.

And the latter speculation is not without reason-in Amuro Toru's impression, gin does not have procrastination.But this time, after getting information about Inoue Real Estate, Qin Jiu came to him for a long time to hand over the relevant information... This shows that Qin Jiu probably has something to do with him.

Tokyo has been surprisingly quiet these days, and no important person has died.

Therefore, Toru Amuro is more inclined to cause Gin to be "inseparable" and happen in other places - that is to say, Uzo is a cadre of another branch.

……

After having doubts about the new wine on the file, Toru Amuro thought about it, anyway, it's not a secret that he likes to observe other people's files.

So he simply asked Gin openly: "A new face? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Amuro Toru was extremely impressed by Gin's reaction at the time.

——This deep organization cadre paused for a moment when gathering the materials, turned his head and glanced at him, there was an indescribably strange joy in his eyes, and a certain indescribable sense of superiority.

And after this positive emotion passed, I don't know what Qin Jiu thought of, and his expression became a little more complicated and slightly apprehensive.

...Maybe it's because there are too many elements, or because the awareness of secrecy is too strong.

In short, after Amuro Toru asked about the information in the gin bag, Gin didn't mention anything about "Uzo", but he usually pulled out his gun and pointed at Amuro Toru, leaving a sentence of "Keep your eyes on your eyes and bear with me." If you don’t keep looking around, I’ll dig it out for you” and other threats, then strode away with documents and vodka.

Toru Amuro also slowly put down the gun that Gin took out at the same time and pointed at the other party.

He looked at Gin's back, and then moved his eyes to Vodka next to him, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Chapter 422 Uzo's Confidentiality Level

The response was significantly better read with vodka than with gin.

When mentioning the "new face", Vodka somehow thought of something, his body became tense and his face became slightly stiff - in Toru Amuro's eyes, this was very obvious vigilance, and there was even a hint of panic about that "new face".

What's even more strange is that the horror of vodka didn't last long.He seemed to have thought of some kind of support, and soon regained his composure.

Combined with the strange reaction of the combination of praise and criticism of gin...

Some speculations slowly emerged in Toru Amuro's mind.

——It can scare vodka, a member of the organization who often makes and disposes of corpses, and make gin feel a little jealous, which shows that "Uzo" is not only cruel and cold, but more importantly, he probably doesn't shy away from the organization His partner shot, is a difficult thorn in the side.

However, from the fact that Vodka quickly regained his composure, it can be seen that the organization seems to have some means to effectively restrain "Uzo".That kind of method prevented Uzo from doing anything to his teammates, or at least not killing them.

In addition, according to the habits of the organization, since "that lord" dared to give Uzo a code name, instead of using it once or twice to get rid of this unstable and dangerous element, this shows that the kind of "restriction" against Uzo is not A temporary threat to life should be a more stable long-term constraint.

……hostage?

Or does the organization hold certain resources that Uzo is very interested in?

Also, according to Amuro Toru's observation, Gin usually doesn't like teammates who disobey orders.

But when the "new face" was mentioned just now, Gin actually showed a little positive reaction first, he seemed to appreciate Wu Zuo quite a bit, and then he remembered something and showed dissatisfaction... This shows that Wu Zuo's ability is by no means mediocre , and even so prominent in a certain aspect that it is so powerful that people can temporarily ignore his shortcomings.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro frowned slightly.

Those who can be appreciated by Gin must have one thing in common: they are loyal to the organization and capable, and they are definitely not waste.

And a member of such an elite organization is undoubtedly a huge harm to society...

Thinking about it, Toru Amuro gradually sketched out a sinister image of indifference, cruelty, superb methods, and occasionally breaking the rules and pointing the sharp edge at his teammates.

... There is another dangerous person.

It is necessary to do more research, and get as much information about this "Uzo" as possible without exposing yourself.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro left the bar and returned to the apartment where he lives now after finishing the transfer of information with Gin.

He turned on the computer, logged into the organization's intelligence database, and entered "Ouzo" in the personnel column.

——All queries in the database will leave records.Fortunately, with the contact with Gin just now as a foreshadowing, he suddenly wanted to search Uzo, which was not unexpected.

Hit Enter, the interface jumps, and an empty page with the "Ouzo" button written in the middle appears.

Clicking the mouse, the page did not jump to Wu Zuo's specific profile page, but a text box that could be submitted first appeared.

Toru Amuro watched this change in silence, temporarily stopped his movements, and leaned back on the back of the chair.

This result corroborates his speculation just now.

Uzo is indeed an organizational elite on his level—at least in terms of data confidentiality, on his level.

Organization members have different query permissions in the database.

For official members with code names, peripheral members in the resident area, part of the extermination list, identified traitors...the files of such people can be checked at any time.

On this basis, for an intelligence officer like "Bourbon", he can also view the information of some code-named members in real time, so as to confirm the specific status of the target member in an emergency, so as to avoid mistakes—just choose At the time of checking, this operation will be highlighted and submitted to the intelligence department in the region where it is stationed. If the identity of the member who is checked is revealed in the future, everyone who checked him will be subject to review by the organization.

Further up, people who are at the same level as Bourbon in terms of confidentiality will be like the current "Uzo", unable to directly check the information.Instead, you need to submit the evidence of Wu Zuo's betrayal or mistakes in the pop-up text box first, and then you can get the viewing permission after approval.

Toru Amuro quietly looked at the blinking cursor in the submission box, but did not move.

If it's the first two situations, he clicked on it out of curiosity. Although he has to bear certain risks, it is logically reasonable-in fact, Toru Amuro used to occasionally pick a few official members who have similarities with him. View, gather information from the seedling stage.These will be precious data in the future, and some of them are already in use.

But now, it happened to be the third situation...

The only interaction he had with this "Uzo" was to glance at the file from Gin Wine.

If you are too persistent to check this person who has only heard the code name, the behavior is too suspicious.

Amuro Toru didn't hesitate for too long, closed Uzo's interface, and exited the database.

...It's not like nothing. He at least knew that there was a member codenamed "Uzo" in the organization. The recognition of wine may be a big threat.

You can submit this limited information first.Then combined with Gin Jiu's recent whereabouts, first determine Wu Zuo's permanent area, and remind the police over there to pay more attention.

After checking the information, Toru Amuro turned on the computer and checked the time.He plans to go to a Chinese restaurant to finish his part-time job for today - one of his recent targets often eats at that restaurant.

On the way, when passing by his own detective agency, Toru Amuro glanced there through the car window.

Now when he saw the detective agency, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Xia who ran the agency seriously.

As soon as he thought of Jiang Xia, Amuro Toru recalled the matter that Jiang Xia asked him to ask for leave a few days ago - saying that he had received a commission letter from afar and wanted to go out and have a look.

The request for leave should have been a week ago.

And Toru Amuro remembered that the last time he ran into Gin was exactly a week ago.

In addition, when he was fishing for news yesterday between part-time jobs, he saw the explosion on Moon Shadow Island that killed many people—because many people questioned the conclusion of the "gas explosion" given by the police, the popularity of this news was not high. Not too low, although it was quickly suppressed, it still briefly appeared on Amuro Toru's homepage.

At that time, Toru Amuro felt that this place name looked familiar.It's just that before he could think about it, a customer came to the store, and he was busy with reception, so the process of recalling was temporarily interrupted.

But today, passing by the office and thinking of Jiang Xia, Toru Amuro suddenly remembered again.

Chapter 423 Clue Lianliankan

Toru Amuro remembered that a few days ago, there was indeed a letter from Moon Shadow Island in the mailbox of the office.

He usually didn't have time to deal with the entrustment in the store, and the recipient said Jiang Xia, so he didn't open it to read.Later, Jiang Xia asked him to ask for leave for a business trip, and he also mentioned this place name, so Amuro Toru had some impressions of Moon Shadow Island.

Combined with the news I saw before, the destination of Jiang Xia's business trip this time, Yueying Island, just happened to be a suspicious explosion with many casualties.

——Gin Jiu who went on a business trip to an unknown location, the explosion that caused many casualties, and the explosion site Moon Shadow Island, and Jiang Xia who was also on a business trip at about the same time but rarely solved the case at the destination...

Several key points are lined up in the mind, instantly forming a broken line.

Although there is no evidence, Amuro intuitively thinks that there may be some connections that he has not discovered among these seemingly coincidental events.
