Conan's Corpse Picker

The air in the car was silent for a moment.

Vodka nodded awkwardly.

Gin snorted and took a puff of cigarette.

... Originally, he wanted to see what kind of expression Uzo would show when he woke up after being tricked by Vodka.

Unexpectedly, from this point of view, Wu Zuo is not willing to eat whatever is handed to him...Of course, it may be that the last reminder finally had an effect.

Gin is a little sorry.

But he quickly put this trivial matter aside, and remembered another slightly more serious matter: "How far has their boring game progressed?"

Vodka was taken aback: "Game?"

When Gin heard this, he remembered that he hadn't discussed this matter with Vodka in detail, so he simply said: "Bourbon has been doubting Uzo's identity recently, so he is using some methods to verify it. And Uzo... uses his own In his words, he intends to 'take up the challenge'."

"...Doubt your identity." Vodka recalled what happened in the mansion last night, especially the relationship between Bourbon and Uzo, and couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

At the same time, he suddenly understood some of the doubts he had vaguely felt before, and slapped his head: "No wonder Wu Zuo didn't carry a mobile phone with him, and someone even called the police. Bourbon must have found an opportunity to cut off his communication. I want to see Let's see if 'Jiang Xia' can encounter those unusual cases without contacting the outside world

"In this case, it seems that Wu Zuo is better. Not only did he successfully 'encounter' the incident, but the encounter was particularly complicated..."

Speaking of vodka, he glanced at the gin.

Seeing that Gin didn't show any impatience, he briefly described his previous experience in the mansion.

In particular, it secretly marked those "precious posters that were brutally murdered".

...Unfortunately, on this matter, Brother Gin seems to have the same attitude as Wu Zuo, and he doesn't care about those out-of-print treasures that have been torn into pieces.

Gin just nodded and sneered coldly: "It seems that those 'misunderstandings' that Bourbon had about Uzo will be dispelled immediately."

"...Yeah." Vodka was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up the complaint, and continued to secretly highlight the private goods in the description, "Uzo actually framed me, pretending that I wanted him to eat those narcotic cookies."

Qin Jiu glanced at him: "Don't you want to?"

"..."

...Of course I still wanted to, but it was a pity that I couldn't succeed.

As soon as "cookie" is mentioned, vodka recalls the awkward feeling of being anesthetized.

Seeing that the eye drops failed, he resolutely gave up the topic, returned to the topic, and said gloatingly: "However, haha, although Bourbon didn't find out his identity, it must be quite difficult for him to kill Bourbon. Uzo's weakness is so obvious - he can't find a tool, and I'm no match for Bourbon."

"Not his opponent, are you proud?" Qin Jiu snorted coldly, "That's right, if even you could be his opponent, the organization wouldn't approve his expense reports for nothing, and would just send him a copy coffin."

Vodka: "..."

His rough laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly realized that his ridicule just now hurt the enemy by a thousand and himself.

Gin finished speaking realistically, and found that the vodka seemed a little wilted.

Thinking that this is his subordinate after all, he is not the same as Bourbon's mystical and annoying colleagues, so he reluctantly added: "The fields you are good at are different, so concentrate on doing your own thing well."

...Although very thin, the vodka managed to feel comforted and sat up a little more.

……

Gin didn't ask any more questions.

He recalled what Vodka said just now, and put out the cigarette in his hand in a good mood.

——Being able to hide from Bourbon at close range shows that Uzo's disguise is really good.

Although I have also been deceived by Uzo, but now, I have discovered Uzo's true nature. However, I have been in contact with Uzo's more bourbons, but the experiment failed, and I am still kept in the dark. After a long period of time... He was already tired of the evaluation of "Bourbon has no vision".

……

Although at the beginning, when Gin heard Jiang Xia said that he was going to accompany Bourbon in this "experiment", he felt bored and wasted time.

But judging from the recent news, the cases that Uzuo "encountered" along the way were not missing at all, even faintly more and more fancy than when he stayed in Tokyo.This is probably his counterattack to Bourbon's secret temptation.

In short, Qin Jiu thought, since the business of "building reputation" was not delayed, then let Uzo do the rest.With Bourbon as a sparring partner, Uzo should also be able to get more practical hidden experience.

...I just don't know when the [-] million yen that Uzo said would be handed over to the organization will arrive. He has already reported it to the finance department in advance.

Speaking of this, Qin Jiu suddenly thought of something.

——Before the Bourbon incident, when Wu Zuo asked him to trade cash face to face, in addition to the Bourbon matter, he seemed to have mentioned "By the way, I will show you my newly found handy tool".

Thinking of this, Gin looked at Vodka:

"Uzo seems to have acquired a new weapon, have you seen it?"

Chapter 576 The target is the boss's hometown

Vodka was taken aback when he heard the words, and began to try to recall the intersection of "Uzo" and "New Weapon".

A second later, his mind was full of "the unlucky murderer who grabbed the ground with his head" and "the poster that was rolled, trampled and torn to pieces".

"..." However, to Wu Zuo, these were barely considered weapons.But I always feel that these one-time things are not enough for Uzo to mention it to Gin.

Other words...

Vodka shook his head suspiciously: "I haven't seen him use any weapons, and he hasn't even taken out that stick."

Gin nodded slowly.When Vodka thought about it carefully just now, he also recalled a series of cases that Wu Zuo had encountered since his departure.

Then it was discovered that the so-called "new tool" did not appear in all the known reports and the messages he received privately.

...Maybe these small scenes are not worth Uzo using his worth mentioning "handy tool".

Of course, it may also be that he doesn't want Bourbon to see it.Wu Zuo has always been very good at pretending to be obedient.

So, on the other hand, is that "new weapon" some kind of dangerous weapon?

...Forget it, no need to think about it now.Anyway, judging from the situation described by Vodka, this "competition" between Uzo and Bourbon should not last long.When Wu Zuo returned to Tokyo, he would naturally know everything he should know.

Of course, if it was some kind of weapon that went too far, it would have to be treated the same as a gun and temporarily confiscated.

Detectives can't have weapons that are too lethal. This is not good for the reputation of "Jiang Xia". At the same time, it will also make some timid but high-ranking clients feel intimidated...

After simply straightening out his thoughts, Gin temporarily put the matter aside, opened the laptop on his lap, and continued with today's work.

Sure enough, when there is still a driver, the work efficiency is higher.This way he can free his hands and eyes to concentrate on his work...

……

the other side.

Deep in the mountains of Tottori Prefecture.

The Summoning Mansion where I was before was originally on the border of Hyogo Prefecture, close to Tottori Prefecture.

So Toru Amuro followed a random direction, and after a short drive, he went from the deep forest in Hyogo Prefecture to the deep forest in Tottori Prefecture.

...Of course, to him, it made no difference.

Toru Amuro just wants to leave these places as soon as possible, where the roads are desolate, there is no signal, there are no villages, no shops, and places where tires are easy to blow out for no reason.

However, at the same time, he knew in his heart that if the car was going too fast, it would be very dangerous if the tire blew out... So in the end, the car could only drive unhurriedly in the deep mountains.

……

Jiang Xia took a nap for a while, and when she woke up again, she looked at the lush forest next to her and the winding mountain road under her feet, which became more and more familiar to her.

With his memory, he can firmly remember the road he walked once.

In Jiang Xia's impression, he ran back and forth several times along this road.

——Isn't this the place leading to the gold miner game site...well, the place leading to the Twilight Annex.

"Twilight Annex" used to be the residence of the Karasuma family—that is, the boss family of the organization.

Under its old shell, there is actually a huge amount of gold hidden.When the puzzles inside the annex are solved, the mechanism is activated, and the shell of the building collapses, the gleaming golden mansion below will be revealed.

The last time Jiang Xia came to Tottori Prefecture on a business trip, the scheduled dead in the murder case were sent to the sky because of a gin bomb.Jiang Xia always felt that he was being targeted by the leader, so before returning, he stopped by the leader's old mansion to dig gold to relieve the pressure.

After that, Gin has been refusing to show him the task list.Every time Jiang Xia thinks of these things, he will drive the vest and come to the boss's hometown to have a look... Once he comes and goes, this trip, he is familiar with it.

In addition, in Jiang Xia's impression, the Twilight Villa can be used as a decompression point after being targeted by Qin Jiu, and at the same time, it is also the place where a case occurred.

——Back then, Renye Karasuma failed to find the hidden treasure in the annex, and eventually sold the annex.

And the current owner of the annex, in order to find the treasure, used Kidd's name a few days ago to send invitation letters to famous detectives from all over the place.I plan to blow up the escape route of the detectives as soon as they arrive, trap everyone inside, and threaten them with their lives to find the treasure.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but miss the inbox at the door of her detective agency—maybe, he will also be on the invitation list this time.

...It's a pity that the mailbox is far away in Tokyo, so I can't see it now.

However, after being disappointed, he thought about it again - even if he didn't receive the invitation letter, he still came to the vicinity of the Twilight Pavilion with the lucky boss.

And now that they have arrived nearby, according to the experience they have accumulated all the way to Jiangxia, they are probably not far away from entering the Twilight Villa and participating in this treasure hunt.

……

At the same time, thinking of the Twilight Villa, Jiang Xia thought of his pile of accounts with ample balance.

After Miss Spider's sharp claws are strengthened with murderous aura, it is very easy to use whether it is climbing, drilling or cutting gold.

Jiang Xia drove a vest, ran back and forth a few times, and worked as a gold miner a few times.Now, the gold in the protruding parts of the Twilight Pavilion, such as the eaves, roof ridges, and animal head sculptures... have all been loaded onto trucks and taken away.

After digging the protruding part, he was bored again, and aimed at other more challenging parts - the other gold was mainly hidden in a thick layer between the inner and outer walls of the building.Jiang Xia then evenly thinned this part of the gold.

...That is to say, now, even if the shell of the building collapses, the shape of the exposed building will not be too strange, at most it will look a little earthy and lack of carvings compared to the original.

Jiang Xia had a lot of fun digging at the time, but after cutting down one wall evenly, it was like finishing a deadly game, and he couldn't get up to start another round.

After losing interest, he originally wanted to throw the Twilight Villa to the organization in exchange for some prestige.I changed to another treasure hunting spot that I didn't get tired of playing, moved the treasures, and exercised.

But if you think about it carefully, the Twilight Villa is the boss's hometown after all.After handing it in, the boss will hardly find that the shapes of many buildings have changed.After excavating the surface of the building, the thinned gold layer inside may also be found... In short, if someone is in Usa, Tokyo, and suddenly reports a short-lived annex in Tottori Prefecture, Maybe it will be suspected by the boss instead.

So until now, Jiang Xia has not acted.He planned to find a suitable enough time to "discover" this annex.

And today, the right time seems to have come.

And there happened to be Toru Amuro right next to him.

The road was chosen by Bourbon, who has never been to Tottori Prefecture recently, and the car was also driven by Bourbon.

Under such circumstances, the gold that was dug away by unknown people in advance has nothing to do with Uzo and Bourbon who happened to come to Tottori Prefecture, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Xia... Thinking of this, Jiang Xia yawned and closed his eyes decisively Sit in the driver's seat and concentrate on catching up on sleep.
