Conan's Corpse Picker

Although from what Jiang Xia said, he seemed to be played by Qin Jiu.But Toru Amuro felt that there was no need for Gin to lie to Jiang Xia about this kind of thing, and he probably really took the "Hai Yuan" ship.Only later, a sudden murder disrupted Qin Jiu's plan, so he left secretly before being caught by the police.

Using this possibility as a basis for speculation...

Qin Jiu didn't transfer the ship from the organization, but took a merchant ship... There must be a reason for everything abnormal. Since this does not conform to Qin Jiu's law of action, it may be the arrangement of the local snake "Uzuo".

However, Gin, for some reason, accepted to take the "Umihara".But he was not at ease about Wu Zuo. At this time, he happened to meet Jiang Xia, so he wanted Jiang Xia, a detective with strong observation skills, to board the boat first and go to the thunder for him.

...a thug act with no regard for human life.

Toru Amuro added another page to his vengeance book.

At the same time, he thought, so it is possible that Jiang Xia might have come into contact with the mysterious "Uzo" near the Haiyuan.

Toru Amuro pondered for a moment, then asked carefully, "Who are there on that boat?"

Jiang Xia was slightly taken aback, showing a thoughtful expression.

Not really remembering the people on board.

Instead, he gradually discovered that Toru Amuro's focus at this time seemed to have been placed on people other than gin and vodka.

...The boss asked these questions because he was simply interested in Gin's mission goals,

Or did he learn through some means that besides the gin and vodka, there was another person on board who deserved the attention of the police?

This thought flashed, and Jiang Xia suddenly became alert.

Gin's tasks are heavy, and the importance of his tasks is often uneven. Unless Toru Amuro has some information in advance, he probably doesn't have time to watch what Gin does.

So the latter seems more likely.

The boss probably knew about "Uzo"...

However, judging from Amuro Toru's current reaction, he must have not matched "Uzo" and "Jiangxia". At most, he just heard rumors about Uzo from certain places.

There are not many people in the organization who know "Uzo".If Toru Amuro really learned about "Uzo" and became interested in it, then Toru Amuro's source of information is likely to be Gin who happened to have just returned to Tokyo.

Assuming that Toru Amuro obtained clues related to "Uzo" through observing gin...

Jiang Xia thought about it, and let go of her heart.

... If Toru Amuro is really observing "Uzo" by observing gin and vodka, then the more powerful Toru Amuro is, the closer he sees to the "Uzo" in Gin's eyes.

Jiang Xia thought about her image in the eyes of gin and vodka, and then thought about her image in Amuro Toru's eyes. I feel that for Amuro Toru, imagining "Jiang Xia is Uzo" is no less difficult than imagining that he is over half a century old The old-fashioned homeroom teacher immediately tossed his clothes and ran to the nightclub to do a striptease after class...Unless you have seen it with your own eyes, it is difficult to have such an association.

Thoughts flashed quickly, Jiang Xia didn't pause for too long, and answered Amuro Toru's question just now:

"There is the captain and his daughter on board the Hai Yuan. Judging from what happened later, there are two other passengers. Gin and vodka may also be on board, and..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia stopped talking, and frowned in thought.

"What else?" Toru Amuro felt that he had grasped the key point, "Don't worry about saying something wrong, just tell me what you think is wrong."

"En." Jiang Xia responded, and then said carefully:

"I always felt that there was actually another person on the boat at the time.

"—When I was at the seaside hotel, I once passed a strange man. The man's hat was buttoned very low, wearing sunglasses, and his collar was turned up to cover his face. Although he didn't have any strange behavior, But I always felt that there was something about him..."

Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, clasped his hands against his chin, paused for a while, and then gave a word uncertainly:

"—the breath of crime."

Afterwards, he continued with Toru Amuro's serious eyes: "Later on the ship, because of Gin's previous threat, I never left the cabin before the murder happened. But I still have a vague feeling—that People are nearby, on that boat."

...Although things like breath belong to the category of metaphysics.But detective work, how can it be called metaphysics.It was a hunch, it was a flash of inspiration, and it made perfect sense.

——Jiang Xia suddenly said that because there is a "Uzo" in the organization, which is an established fact.

Instead of letting other people guess wildly and finally guess him by mistake, it is better to push a dummy out to be this fake "Uzo".

In this way, even if the reds are free and want to pick up their vests, according to the usual practice, they have to take an extra detour of "the hard-picked 'Uzo' is actually just a shield", and then bury their heads and continue to pick up the real "Uzo". ——In this way, Jiang Xia can have a lot of leeway to wrap up her identity.

As for who should be chosen as the false Uzo... There is no need to worry about it, of course it is his loyal and reliable puppet subordinate.

Although there is no suitable puppet at the moment, anyway, there are very few people who know about Wuzuo. In the early days, there will be a little rumor, so as to occupy a vacant seat. When there is a usable puppet in the future, it is completely reasonable to let it work on the spot.

In fact, Jiang Xia had a similar idea long ago.

So he prays every day that he can pick up a handsome adult boy with inconspicuous tattoos to act as a "Uzo"-one of the effective ways to prevent being stripped of the vest is to put on several layers of vests, so that if it falls One floor, there are other lines of defense below, so you won't be caught to the end...

However, after praying for so long, all the strange sea, land and air vests are available, as well as beautiful sisters and handsome children, but adult male ghosts still refuse to appear... Every time I think of this question, Jiang Xia can't help but fall into deep thought, I wondered why his European spirit couldn't be focused on key points.

Listening to Jiang Xia's conjecture, Amuro Toru looked at his sincerely troubled expression, thinking that Jiang Xia was awkward because of the dislocation of "feeling that there are dangerous people around but there is no evidence".

In addition, having seen many cases solved by Jiang Xia, I have confidence in his reasoning ability, observation ability and intuition.

At this time, Toru Amuro also felt that that Uzo might really be on the boat at that time.

Chapter 426 A hint from the dream

Toru Amuro thought that since Uzo might have been on a ship, he might gain something by sending his men to the Kaihara to check the situation.

However, even Jiang Xia, a member of the organization, is required to stay in the cabin and is forbidden to act without authorization, so the possibility of other people on the ship seeing Uzuo is actually not high.

——According to what Jiang Xia said, there are only two crew members on board, the captain and his daughter, and there is usually no one to guard them, so it is easy for mysterious people who don't want to show up to sneak onto the ship.

In addition, after Qin Jiu and the others got off the ship, the people on board were not silenced immediately... This is certainly related to the sudden murder case on the Haiyuan, but at the same time, it also means that the survivors on the ship have no useful information. known.

Having said that, why are Uzo and the others obsessed with taking the Kaihara?Does it relate to some goal of the organization?

The more Amuro thought about it, the more he felt that Uzo's new face and his behavior were all a mystery.

Moreover, judging from the fact that Qin Jiu asked Jiang Xia to board the boat first to test it out, this time the boat ride was not planned by Qin Jiu, but was led by that Uzuo... This is of course because the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake—— Uzo is a member of the Tottori branch, and Gin is a "guest" who came from afar from Tokyo—but anyway, this further shows that Uzo is not simple, otherwise Gin would not be able to act according to other people's plans.

Amuro Toru's eyes gradually became serious, and he almost wanted to find out this dangerous person in a second and bring him under the surveillance of the police.

But he knew very well in his heart: the more it is like this, the more patient he has to be.

...It will take a little later before the subordinates can be sent to Tottori to investigate carefully.

In the early morning, he had obtained information about the "new face" from Gin's set.If Bourbon had just found out about "Uzo" and went to Tottori with a group of policemen, and was discovered by a suspicious organization... things would become troublesome.And it cannot be ruled out that Gin is fishing.

In addition, the plan of "inquiring about recent missions in Tottori Prefecture in the organization through the database" cannot be carried out immediately.

——As an intelligence officer with a code name, "Bourbon" has the authority to view a considerable part of the mission report. Even if he can't view all the content, he can at least see some relevant information.

However, like when checking identity files, such inquiries will also be recorded.

Compared with many other undercover agents, Toru Amuro is not very suspicious now.But the high-level members of the organization who have survived to this day are suspicious. As an undercover agent, Toru Amuro will inevitably be found to be a little abnormal.He has actually attracted the attention of some people, and his immediate boss, Rum, is also staring at him.

So now, Toru Amuro will only mobilize his authority when necessary, check the files related to himself, and occasionally bring some private goods with suitable reasons to obtain information.

If he really treats the organization's database as his own, and he wants to check what he wants... Toru Amuro is very sure that if he really does this, then when he finishes reading what he wants to see, his authority will probably be all the way After falling to the bottom, the door of the interrogation room will be opened to him simultaneously.

...In short, I have to find an opportunity to accept a mission from Tottori Prefecture.

Then he had an excuse to check the relevant information in Tottori Prefecture, looking for the traces left by Uzo, and then grabbed the tail of this murderous cadre.

……

A lot of things happened today, many of which have yet to be verified and considered, and I am almost late for work.

Amuro Toru asked Jiang Xia what he wanted to ask, and didn't stay any longer.

He observed the "necklace" produced by the organization, gave Jiang Xia a signal jammer that he didn't know if it was useful, and then left in a hurry.

On the way to work, he sent a message to the subordinates of the Metropolitan Police Department and gave a few instructions.

Amuro Toru, like Gin, is also a night owl who stays up all year round.

Last night he spent part-time man-marking in the bar all night, and today he continued to work continuously, and suddenly came into contact with new mysterious information, and his thoughts inevitably lagged.

When the Chinese restaurant continued to stare at people, Toru Amuro observed the guests, and at the same time always felt that he seemed to have overlooked some kind of connection, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

During the shift change, he took a short nap in the staff room.

Then he raced against time and had a dream.In the dream, gin, vodka, and a mysterious man with a dark body and only a shadow were walking side by side in the gloomy alleys of Tottori Prefecture, with sticky and flowing blood under their feet.

Amuro was startled, and became vigilant in his dream, and his subordinates surrounded him with helicopters and armored vehicles.Maybe it was because of his thirst for knowledge. Before ordering the arrest, he in his dream asked his subordinates to turn on all the searchlights.

Under the scouring of high-intensity lights, the thick ink-like blackness on the young man's body finally faded—"Uzo"'s clothes were still black, but the exposed skin and clothing finally had color.

He stopped in the center of the light, and slowly turned around surrounded by a group of police officers, revealing a pair of mocking and indifferent eyes, and a familiar face with a perennial faint smile.

... That was Jiang Xia's face.

"?!"

In the staff room of the Chinese restaurant.

Amuro sat up from the table, startling an employee at the door who wanted to sneak out early.

The old employee glared at the temporary worker who had woken up in time. He still wanted to slip away, but he was really worried that he would be reported, so he had no choice but to put back the half-taken employee uniform, and started looking at the clock again, touching the clock. Fish take time.

Toru Amuro forced a smile at him, and didn't have time to pay more attention.

His thoughts were still stuck on the nightmare he had just had.

...He actually thinks that Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo?

It's almost impossible.The dream really lacks logic...

But why do you have such a dream?

Toru Amuro thought about it carefully, and felt that the problem still lies in the various coincidences before.

——This time, the overlapping trajectories of Jiang Xia and Qin Jiu were a bit high.

In addition, Vodka's strange reaction of first tensing and then relaxing always reminded him of the way the organization checks and balances Uzo, and then Jiang Xia who was sanctioned by the new equipment.

Toru Amuro thought for a moment, then turned on the phone, and saw a new email displayed on the screen—the subordinates sent several files according to his request just now.

It contains relevant information on the Big Dipper train, the Spider Mansion, the Star Hotel, the homicide on the Haiyuan cruise ship, and the brief situation of the explosion on Yueying Island.

This is a case related to Jiang Xia in recent days.It took a little time to collect it because it crossed the county.

Toru Amuro clicked on it and glanced roughly.

In the first case that happened on the train, apart from Jiang Xia, there was also gin vodka, and Jiang Xia's family.This can be matched with what Jiang Xia said before... Huh?Is that kid with glasses there?

Chapter 427 Steps to Take Off Uzo's Vest

The wheels of the Beidouxing train could not be inflated, but the trip was delayed due to another reason. This is similar to the situation of the previous vehicles with a flat tire... Toru Amuro's thinking unconsciously shifted a little in some directions , but quickly got back on track and continued to check back.
