Conan's Corpse Picker

Anyway, it's just a matter of asking the staff a few words, even if they guess wrong, it won't delay anything...

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro sent a message to Jiang Xia after passing by the detective agency and remembering the matter of Yueying Island, asking him if he finished his business trip.If you have already returned to Tokyo, take the time to visit the detective agency.

——According to Amuro Toru's observation, although Jiang Xia had solved two or three cases during his business trip, his final destination, Moon Shadow Island, did not appear to be him.

Combined with Jiang Xia's experience in solving crimes all the way in the past, this is very abnormal.

And if the explosion on the island was really related to Gin, this anomaly would be explained—Jiang Xia might have been unlucky enough to run into Gin, or even that "Uzo", and then be killed by these unreasonable organization cadres. interfered with the commission.

... If this is the case, Toru Amuro felt that he might be able to learn some information about "Uzo" from Jiang Xia by accident.

After sending the text message, a few minutes later, Jiang Xia didn't reply.

Toru Amuro was on his way while diverting his thoughts boredly.

He suddenly thought, after all, Vodka is a veteran member of the organization, even if he would be afraid of some of Uzo's actions - such as attacking his teammates, Vodka shouldn't instinctively feel nervous whenever Uzo is mentioned after they parted.

So, is there a possibility that Vodka's reaction to the "new face" is not just because he has heard rumors of Uzo's brutality, but also what he actually saw during this business trip?

...Thinking of the worst outcome, Wu Zuo might meet Jiang Xia on his way to Moon Shadow Island.Wu Zuo from out of town didn't know that Jiang Xia was a member of the organization, and he was full of malice towards this high school student detective who symbolized justice. In addition, Jiang Xia unintentionally interfered with the mission of the organization, so Wu Zuo...

After that, vodka and gin also came to meet.Vodka was shocked by those unspeakable bloody scenes, and felt a little bit sad.

...And this kind of conjecture seems to be able to explain why Vodka's instinctive panic was quickly relieved-Jiang Xia, who was murdered by Wu Zuo, was just a peripheral member.And vodka itself is a precious organizational cadre.Vodka relaxed when he thought that Uzo's cruelty would not target him.

... quite reasonable.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro frowned slightly, and looked at the phone that still hadn't received a reply.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned on the screen and planned to call Jiang Xia to confirm his safety as soon as possible.

However, just after opening the address book, an email suddenly popped up on the page.

From Jiangxia.

——He has already returned to Tokyo, saying that he is picking up the cat at a friend's house, and he will come to the office when he gets the cat.

Toru Amuro read the letter carefully, and felt that from the tone to the content, it was very similar to what Jiang Xia would say.

Only then did he silently wipe away the bloody conjectures in his mind just now, calmly turned the car around, and prepared to go to the detective agency.

There is too little known information now, so it is okay to make a bold assumption and carefully verify it.It is difficult for a person who dare not assume to become an excellent intelligence officer...

... It's normal to guess wrong, and there's no shame in it.

……

In short, after some handover and a period of brain supplementation.

This is how the current scene in the office came about.

Amuro Detective Agency.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Xia heard Amuro Toru ask about Yueying Island, and looked up at him.

Then he showed a little embarrassed look.

He gathered his scarf and thought about his words: "On the way to do the commission, I came across gin and vodka. Then... when I was about to arrive at Moon Shadow Island, there was an explosion there.

"Later, I sneaked into the police team and went to the island to have a look. I felt that this matter might have something to do with the organization, so I gave up the entrustment and returned."

While listening to it, Amuro Toru's eyes subconsciously fell on Jiang Xia's hand that gathered the scarf, feeling that something was wrong.

...By the way, Jiang Xia occasionally wore a scarf before, but he usually took it off as soon as he entered the house.Why have you come in for so long today and are still surrounded.

Toru Amuro picked up the remote control, turned on the air conditioner, and asked casually, "Aren't you hot with so much on?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xia glanced down at herself, unbuttoned her jacket a little, and left the scarf untouched: "...it's cold today."

Toru Amuro: "..." There is a problem.

He nodded calmly, pretending to agree with Jiang Xia's words.

Then he bent down and put the remote control back on the table. When he lifted himself up, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the suspicious scarf.

After Jiang Xia was stunned, he recovered and grabbed Toru Amuro's wrist to "try to stop". At the same time, Toru Amuro had already successfully grabbed the scarf and pulled it down forcefully.

The soft scarf was pulled down a lot, revealing a thick black punk-style necklace with a fancy silver pattern printed on it.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

He suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, when he stayed up late to go out on a mission, and on the way back after squatting to watch the target, he once ran into Jiang Xia riding a motorcycle late at night.

At that time, Toru Amuro happened to be with some police subordinates. Since it was inconvenient for him to show up, he wanted his subordinates to detain them and give some ideological education to the underage detectives who were speeding and covered their license plates... As a result, three modified cars were dispatched. He just couldn't catch up with one, and was even run over by Jiang Xia on the roof of the car.

... So now, when he saw this unique necklace, the first thing that flashed in Amuro Toru's mind was - Jiang Xia is no longer satisfied with secretly driving in the middle of the night, but even her clothes are moving closer to the direction of bad boys , began to transform in all directions?

...belated rebellious period?

...However, after Weisai stared at the necklace in surprise for a while, Toru Amuro gradually felt that this was not the case.

——He came to the office today, not as a sudden attack like a post check, but he had told Jiang Xia that he would come.

Chapter 424 Unscrupulous Distillery Oppresses Peripheral Members

If this "necklace" is really Jiang Xia's personalized jewelry, then when he wants to hide it, he just needs to find a chance to take it off, and there is no need to cover it with a scarf.

The current situation will appear, which means that he can't take it off by himself... Thinking of this, the dark silhouettes of uzo, gin and vodka began to circle in Toru Amuro's mind again.

Speaking of which, the exaggerated patterns on the necklace are very similar to the style of a certain designer in the organization and equipment department.In addition, this thickness is enough to lay the circuit...Is it the equipment produced by the organization?

Toru Amuro never missed any information in the organization that could be used for free prostitution.

He recalled the list of equipment provided by the organization, but he didn't remember this kind of "necklace" on it.It may be a product that is still in the experimental stage, and it was taken out and used by some cadres in advance.

As for "certain cadres"...combined with what Jiang Xia said just now "I met gin and vodka on the road", there is no need to guess who the owner of this equipment is--gin does often get some still Drugs or equipment in the experimental stage.

While speculating, Amuro opened the "necklace" with a little force, and vaguely saw the metal electrode pieces inside.

Sure enough, it's a fake necklace, this should actually be some kind of control device... huh?

...controls?

The similar keywords made Amuro Toru's previous speculation that "the organization has some way to restrict Uzo" flashed through his mind, and then linked the two together, and the idea of ​​"Jiang Xia = Uzo" emerged .

But soon, he rationally ruled out this idea.

——It is impossible for the organization to use such a simple and crude method to restrict an important cadre.Although the keyword happened to hit, it should be two different things.

He let go of his hand, frowned and asked: "What's going on?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xia sighed silently, and wrapped the scarf silently.

Then start preparing to throw the pot.

At present, he does not want to expose the identity of "Uzo" to Amuro Toru.

On the one hand, I don't want to be recorded by the police in the island country, and then the information will be leaked back to the organization in reverse, causing trouble.

On the other hand, a peripheral member who paddles for fish in the organization, and a full-fledged member with a code name... To the police, these are two completely different concepts.

Amuro may turn a blind eye to the former, allowing him to develop freely, even lending a helping hand when necessary.

But when it comes to the latter, it is impossible for the public security to maintain the same attitude—even if the conscience of the red party in this world is overflowing, after knowing that "Jiang Xia is Uzuo", whether it is for guiding, supervising, arresting or instigating rebellion, Amuro Tou is bound to pay too much attention to him.

...Although the boss can also attract cases, compared with other people, his incident physique and murderous amount are really not strong.For Jiang Xia, this kind of excessive attention is really unnecessary, it will only interfere with his wandering among various camps to pick up ghosts.

... In short, for the sake of stability and freedom, whether the vest can be covered or covered first.

Just yesterday, the boss sent an email, telling him that the application for raising the confidentiality level guaranteed by Gin has been approved.Now, even if Bourbon wanted to check, he could no longer be found through the organization's database.

As long as you pay more attention when you get along with each other on weekdays, the vest should last for a while.

However, even if he couldn't go the way of the database, Toru Amuro was in the black side after all, and at the same time he had a large number of police officers at his disposal.This special double-faced identity determines that he is the most likely to find out the whole story of "Uzo"'s business trip. The group photo Jiang Xia left on the boat before was not used to fool Toru Amuro.

If you want to abduct this boss's thinking, you need to use some other methods.

For example, instead of waiting for Toru Amuro to screen out doubts from scratch and get closer to the truth.Jiang Xia felt that it would be better to draw a fork in the road first and let the boss go astray in some key places...

Hearing Toru Amuro asking for details, Jiang Xia said:

"In the beginning, I encountered gin and vodka on the train to Tottori Prefecture. There was a shooting on the train. When the prisoner was arrested, Gin intercepted the other party's pistol, and he was later arrested as a witness. asked."

Amuro nodded slowly.

It sounds a bit ironic for Qin Jiu to act bravely, but considering his suspicious and cautious character, it is not difficult to understand this move—— Qin Jiu intercepted the gun, certainly not to prevent the murderer from accidentally injuring the surrounding citizens, but to prevent the murderer from accidentally injuring the surrounding citizens. Other armed men appeared.

Seeing Toru Amuro nodded, Jiang Xia continued without changing his expression:

"In addition to gin, I also met a classmate who was going to Tottori Prefecture to attend a wedding in that car. When I got off the car, I chatted with my classmate. After the chat, the gin and vodka were gone.

"I thought I would never run into them again.

"But one day later, a few hours before I took the boat to Moon Shadow Island, Gin and Vodka found a place for me to stay and asked me to take a cruise ship called 'Hai Yuan' to investigate the situation on board. "

Speaking of this, the topic and the facts have begun to have a hidden dislocation.

Jiang Xia fiddled a little during the narration process—anyway, Gin and Amuro Turbulence usually have communication barriers, and they won’t be honest with each other on such details, so don’t worry about lying:

"After boarding the ship, I didn't find any obvious abnormalities. After sending him the photos and observations of the ship that Gin requested, Gin asked me to stay in the cabin and not to meddle in my own business."

"That's why I didn't go out. Later... Gin and vodka should also be on the boat, because the email sent by Gin said that he will take back this 'necklace' when he arrives on the island. .

"But then there was a murder case on board. When I finished solving the case, there were no organized people in the cabin—I don't know if Gin took advantage of the chaos and left, or didn't board the ship in the first place, saying to take back the 'necklace' Just kidding me..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia's expression became a little helpless, "I just want to work and solve the case with peace of mind, but I have to face the oppression of the cadres of the unscrupulous organization, weak and helpless".

Toru Amuro: "..."

That is to say, in such a short period of time, Jiang Xia not only met Qin Jiu unluckily, he even encountered a murder case.

... This is really the standard luck of a high school student detective.No wonder it is said that detectives are rewarded by heaven. After all, not everyone can encounter murders anytime, anywhere, regardless of the occasion.

Toru Amuro patted the shoulder of his unlucky employee sympathetically, and then glanced at the "necklace" on Jiang Xia's neck, which symbolized the evil forces of the organization: "This should be a piece of equipment that is still under development. Before you understand the structure, it's not good." Hard demolition... I'll go to the equipment department to ask for you."

Chapter 425 What is the relationship between Wu Zuo and me, Jiang Xia?

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Jiang Xia nodded.

Then, as if he didn't want to see that troublesome "necklace", he slowly rewrapped the scarf.

……

Amuro Toru felt sympathy for the experience of the employees, but he did not forget to think about the information revealed in Jiang Xia's words just now.
