Conan's Corpse Picker

Amuro thought, at that time, if it is confirmed that Jiang Xia is not Uzuo, then he can concentrate on that "Conan Edogawa".

His intuition told him that there might be some big secret hidden behind this incident.

……

After dealing with the bugs and transmitters, the two continued to drive in a direction randomly chosen by Toru Amuro.

At the same time, at the place where Toru Amuro dropped his chewing gum just now, a man in sportswear who seemed to be running at night passed by, squatting down to tie his shoelaces.

When he stood up again, there was already a handkerchief in his hand.

——It was the chewing-gum-wrapped one that Toru Amuro had thrown away earlier.

...According to Mr. Furuya, there is a transmitter inside.

And their new task is to arrange for one or two people to take this transmitter to another place that is different from Mr. Jiang Gu's departure direction.

……

The drive out of town was rather boring.

Jiang Xia originally wanted to check the news habitually, or greet the client on the list, or ask Qin Jiu if there is any work that is too busy for him, and if so, he can give him some...

Too bad I don't have a cell phone now.

Jiang Xia sighed faintly, and glanced at the storage box containing the mobile phone from the corner of her eye.

In my impression, when he was at the scene of the car accident just now, his mobile phone had already been secretly taken away by Kazami Yuya.

At this time, there are only two mobile phones of the same model that look the same in the storage box.

Although there are black plug-ins of two tech giants, it is difficult for Amuro's subordinates to find problems on his mobile phone, but this really delays daily use.The police really don't talk about martial ethics when it comes to infringing on personal privacy...

However, thinking of this, a series of cases that Jiang Xia encountered when he and Toru Amuro went out in the past appeared in Jiang Xia's mind.

...In fact, thinking about it carefully, the police use his mobile phone, and he uses the police boss, it seems that it is not a loss.

If you can't play with your mobile phone, just focus on picking up ghosts these days.

...hope the boss doesn't disappoint.

……

Amuro Toru inexplicably felt a bit cold around him.

It may be that the suburbs are windy and the temperature is low.

Of course, it may also be because of hunger and insufficient calories...

Thinking about it, Amuro moved his ears and looked to the side.

Seeing the employees he kidnapped, they seemed to feel the same way.Jiang Xia was rummaging through a bunch of snacks—when she was waiting to make a transcript, she didn't know what Yumi Miyamoto said after she went back, which attracted a bunch of policewomen to watch Jiang Xia.These snacks are the small gifts they brought along.Gifts from others are not easy to throw away, so Jiang Xia took them to the car afterwards.

Amuro glanced at the fancy snack packaging, feeling a little hungry.

... It is indeed time for dinner, let's go after eating.

After thinking for a moment, he drove to a nearby restaurant with relatively high consumption.

……

The white Mazda turned several directions in the night, and soon came to a manor-like hotel.

The location here is slightly out of the way, but there are a lot of seasonal vegetables around, and fish, chickens, ducks, etc. are also caught and killed. Except for the price, there are no other disadvantages, and there are not few people who come here here.

Chapter 524 Don't Want Rum

When parking the car, Amuro Toru's eyes carefully scanned the restaurant's parking lot.

After making sure he didn't see Kogoro Mori's car, and received the message from his subordinates that "there are no other suspicious acquaintances nearby", he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Jiang Xia also looked around and followed Amuro into the hall.

This is the kind of specialty store that cooks to order and has a lot of communication between the chef and the guests.

As soon as Jiang Xia entered the door, he suddenly felt that Toru Amuro stopped beside him, and then his whole body tensed up silently.

"?"

Jiang Xia looked at Toru Amuro in doubt, then followed his line of sight to the corner of the hall, also startled.

——On the other side of the hall, stood a man in a chef's uniform.

The man was tall and well built, with very obvious crow's feet around his eyes, and a bandage covered his left eye.Although he was smiling and discussing recipes with customers, he somehow gave off a gloomy feeling.

Just after two glances, the chef suddenly turned around, his gaze fell on them precisely, and then he raised his eyebrows indistinctly.

This slight change in expression only happened for a split second.Soon, the chef nodded at them with a smile like a normal restaurant employee.

Jiang Xia was silent for a while.

The chef's appearance, and Toru Amuro's reaction...

Could it be what he thought.

……

After a while, when the chef and the guests next to him walked to another signboard, Jiang Xia could clearly see the nameplate hanging on the chef.

——Wakita.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He was briefly lost in thought—

In my impression, one of the commonly used pseudonyms of the organization's second-in-command "Rum" is "Wakita Kanenori".Wakita Kanezuri's identity is indeed a cook.Moreover, being able to work in this kind of restaurant shows that his cooking skills are even very good...

Rum's pastime is going around being a cook?

Or is he also gathering intelligence in this way?

... Well, judging from how busy Gin is, the second in command of the organization shouldn't be too busy, let's call it the latter.Is it a habit for the Rum faction? Amuro Toru's part-time job is taught by Rum?

... Having said that, I don't know if Lang Mu knows "Jiang Xia = Wu Zuo".From the perspective of authority, Rum will definitely be able to find out; there is such a code member in Tokyo suddenly, he should also pay attention to it.

In short, whether he knew it or not, Rum would definitely not come directly to him and say "Hi, Uzo."... It is really a very dangerous thing for the second in command to expose himself to the new code member.And according to Rum's degree of caution, he should not pick up the vests of other code members at Bourbon for no reason.

After figuring it out, Jiang Xia quickly lost interest in the non-murderous Rum, and his eyes fell on the ingredients aside.

Toru Amuro didn't look any further.

He turned to the waiter who came to receive them, ready to choose dishes: Since the rum is here, don't order too much like before, which means saving a little money for the organization...

……

Next to him was the second-in-command of the organization. Even after Amuro came back to his senses, he acted as if he didn't know Rum, but his attention would inevitably be on the leader of the organization.

After observing for a while from the corner of his eye, Toru Amuro suddenly found that Rum also seemed to occasionally look at this side secretly when the guests were tangling about the dishes.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

... Rum has looked over too many times, why does he look very interested in something.

Calmly rule it out.First of all, this should not be looking at him, he is also considered an old subordinate of Rum, and there is nothing to look at.

and so……

Amuro couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Xia next to him.

Rum must have taken a fancy to this seedling detective...

The organization usually does not like to contact famous detectives, because detectives are often people with a strong sense of justice and close ties with the police.At the same time, in the eyes of members of the organization, this group of people is also very "cunning", and contacting them rashly is easy to overturn, and the cost performance is not high.

But Jiang Xia is different.

Jiang Xia's parents are both in the organization, and he himself has always been a peripheral member of the organization. In Langmu's eyes, this should be a very useful tool.

Moreover, Jiang Xia has just become a detective not long ago, and she is already so famous and has a strong growth potential. If this continues...

Toru Amuro was secretly alert.

He originally planned to put Jiang Xia under his command first, as a regular member of the peripheral tool people.After Jiang Xia grows to the point where he cannot be ignored by the organization, find a suitable opportunity and introduce Jiang Xia as a code member.In this way, Bourbon can logically add a partner who loves to paddle. While prostitution, he can also provide Jiang Xia with guidance and help to prevent him from getting involved in those high-risk tasks.

Or, if Jiang Xia really doesn't want to do things for the organization, then he will go through the procedure of protecting witnesses and send Jiang Xia to a peaceful place; Most of my subordinates are more reliable...

And no matter which path you take in the end, it will undoubtedly take a long time to investigate and prepare.

If Jiang Xia is targeted by Rum so soon, by then, many things will easily get out of control, and it will be difficult to achieve a satisfactory result...

However, if you think about it rationally, even if Rum really likes Jiang Xia's ability, he should not send Jiang Xia to do other tasks immediately, but will think about it for a long time, let Jiang Xia maintain his original development, cultivate his reputation, and give full play to his growth. potential.so……

Um?and many more.

Doesn't that mean that if Jiang Xia is really Wu Zuo, it will be difficult for him to see the clues from the organization's tasks and movements, because even if the organization assigns tasks to Jiang Xia, the focus of the tasks will be on accumulating fame, and only in the Use him at a few critical moments to covertly complete the goal?

"..." Oh, it's too difficult.

Amuro sighed inwardly.

It is indeed a troublesome thing to catch the mice around you.

Looking at Rum at this time, Toru Amuro actually had a brief sympathy with the second in command of the organization whose hands were covered in blood...

……

Ten meters away, on the other side of the hall.

While dedicatedly introducing the special recipes to the guests, Rum thought about what happened just now.

As the head of intelligence in the organization, he has a good idea of ​​any code-named cadre, let alone Uzo who is active in Tokyo.

Just now, when Rum recognized Jiang Xia who entered the door, he saw Toru Amuro next to Jiang Xia, and was slightly taken aback, wondering why Uzo, the person from the side of Gin, got together with his subordinates.

It took a second before he suddenly remembered that Uzo seemed to have been working in Bourbon's detective agency all the time - Bourbon was not in the office all year round, the identity of a private detective was too low, and Rum's busy brain had already put this The pieces of information were piled up in the corner, and now I suddenly saw them, and successfully activated the memory again.

Chapter 525 Did you see this subordinate?mine

Rum is a little curious about "Uzo", a new member who is said to be highly skilled. In addition, he is also a little puzzled about the fact that Uzo has been hiding next to Bourbon.

——There are not many people who know about "Wu Zuo=Jiang Xia".As far as Rum knew, Bourbon was not among the insiders.

In other words, Bourbon still treats Uzo with the same attitude as an ordinary peripheral member... This feeling of being regarded as a subordinate by a peer must be very uncomfortable, but it is strange that Uzo did not go out to set up his own family, I always feel This newly promoted cadre may have another purpose.

However, doubts are doubts, and Rum has no intention of telling Bourbon about this.
