Conan's Corpse Picker

Okiya Subaru tensed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wu Zuo raised his hand and patted him: "Leave here first."

……

On the way, Okiya Subaru heard the whole story of the case - including almost all the details from beginning to end.

As he listened, he became more and more sure of his previous conjecture.

——This is by no means the information that can be obtained by "passing by by chance and seeing Yoshihiro Mianguan's buried body"... As for Uzo, after discovering the act of burying the body, he checked every link one by one like a detective It's even more impossible to come out - even if Uzo looks like a cadre who has no obvious identity and lurks in the shadows, he will never do such an eye-catching thing.

In short, compared to a lucky guy who "passed by and accidentally saw the information on the burial".Uzo is more like hiding in layers of shadows, holding the script leader.He planted the seed of a case in a miraculous way, made it germinate and expand, and then watched it grab the greed, killing intent and blood around it bit by bit, and finally grow into a field that can completely separate Uzo from the police. Dense vines.

In the end, whoever looks at it will only think that this is a festival between the deceased and the murderer, and will not guess that behind the branches and leaves, there are still a pair of happy eyes watching everything quietly.

When Okiya Subaru was sweating coldly while listening.

The folding shovel used for digging just now was carefully wiped clean by Wu Zuo and given to him as a "meeting gift".

Although Jiang Xia himself simply felt that it was very inconvenient to carry a heavy shovel with him for such a mysterious thing as a vest.

But the person who received the gift seemed to have thought of a lot.Okiya Subaru's smile was polite with a hint of stiffness, holding a shovel, exactly like holding a grenade, or the kind that has pulled out the fuse.

Under Okiya Subaru's nervous gaze, the boss's observation of him seemed to have finally come to an end.

"Okay, that's all for today." Uzo said:

"The murderer will definitely be punished, it's a matter of time, and what you have to do is to speed up the process without leaving any traces, and let him be arrested in a reasonable way before the mission deadline.

"Of course, if during this process, you unfortunately left traces and were caught by the police... I hope you will be more sensible and don't add extra burdens to us."

"..." Okiya Subaru nodded with a modest smile, "Definitely."

……

While talking, they had already walked out of a street and passed the corner.

Okiya Subaru turned the corner, took two steps, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking back, Uzo didn't follow.

"...?"

Okiya Subaru hesitated for a moment, originally wanted to leave quickly, but worried that if Uzo didn't leave, he was just tying his shoelaces, or was attracted by something nearby, so he stopped temporarily...

He had to turn around again.

Then he looked at both sides, slightly taken aback.

—Uzo is gone.

Looking around, the streets of the old city were empty, and a few crows landed on the wires in the distance. They were startled by the engineering graduate student holding a shovel, and looked towards this side with a low cry.

Okiya Subaru silently got goosebumps all over his body.

Something on the wall suddenly moved.

Okiya Subaru's eyes sharpened, he clenched the heavy folding shovel tightly in his hand, and unfolded it with a click.

Looking up, I saw a cat leisurely passing by the wall.

The whole body of the cat is black, only four paws are white.It seemed to be attracted by Okiya Subaru's vigilance, stopped hesitantly, turned his head to look over, and wagged his tail suspiciously.

"..."...It's a cat.

Okiya Subaru breathed a sigh of relief, looked away, and looked around again, thinking that Uzo should have left.

He didn't stay any longer, and walked quickly to the parking lot, looking for his car.

And the dark cloud treading snow on the wall seemed to have become interested in him just now.

The cat jumped off the fence lightly, ran to a distance of two or three meters from Okiya Subaru, and followed behind with no distance or approach.

……

Although I got a tracking vest that would not attract suspicion.

But Jiang Xia felt that this follow-up might not yield much.

Okiya Subaru seems to like to think too much, and this kind of brain supplement will always make up some weird things, but generally speaking, he is more cautious.

Most people know that when they first meet a mysterious person, they are most likely to be followed and observed—even if the cat they encounter is innocent, modern society may have things like bugging cameras.

In other words, if Okiya Subaru really had contact with Akai Shuichi, no matter how panicked he was at this time, he would not be able to go to Akai Shuichi.On the other hand, even if he wanted to look for it, Akai Shuichi would probably realize this and consciously disappear.

So Jiang Xia just wanted to follow along, find out the real place where Okiya Subaru lives now, and wait for the rabbit.

However, he soon discovered that even this plan had not been completed.

——After the two "persons" separated, Okiya Subaru went back to the street where the target was and watched for a while, and then went to a nearby hotel to open a room.

Throwing the shovel and other luggage into the room, Okiya Subaru took the computer and returned to the coffee shop that was convenient for stalking, and started stalking while typing papers.Judging from the emails he exchanged with the professor on the way, the paper is due next week, and he has just written half of it.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Just now, while the clerk was not paying attention, he slipped into the coffee shop in a cat vest and watched Okiya Subaru's computer screen.

Then he soon regretted his decision to follow him, and yawned boredly.

Feeling that Okiya Subaru will not leave for a while, Jiang Xia took the time to return to the main body, went to Dr. Ali's house, went to the detective agency, and sent a batch of cats to the wives who had been waiting for a long time.

Chapter 771 I will do it

After taking care of her own affairs, that night, Jiang Xia put on the cat vest again and drove the cat to the coffee shop.

I saw Okiya Subaru still in the corner of the second floor of the coffee shop, with a laptop in front of him, carefully managing time, and switching back and forth between thesis work.

In the middle of the night, after the lights in Watanuki's house were turned off, Okiya Subaru did not leave immediately. He continued to stare for a while, and found that no one came out, and there was no change, so he yawned, carefully kept the paper, and went back to previously booked hotel.

Jiang Xia: "..."

When we first met, Okiya Subaru seemed to have the potential to be a water monster, why did he suddenly become so dedicated...

He lay on the wall, resting his chin with his cat's paw in boredom, watching Okiya Subaru return to the hotel.

Suddenly, I felt that maybe I was a good boss by accident—he could make the paddler change his past and work hard.

……

The next day, Jiang Xia took the time to drive the cat over again.

Then I found that before the end of the mission, Okiya Subaru seemed to want to take root in this area, and had no intention of leaving at all.

If you keep staring at it, your efficiency may be very low.

Jiang Xia then took advantage of Okiya Subaru's distraction, threw a transmitter on him, then returned to the main body, and started to work on his own affairs.

……

On the second day after Okiya Subaru received the "task teaching", after yesterday's accumulation, he already had a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain and general situation.

He recalled Wu Zuo's "teaching" process yesterday, and found that although the skill of "planning cases" was very powerful, he did have a feeling of "sudden realization", "so that's how it is", and "I seem to be able to do it too" when listening to it.

But now, as soon as Uzo left, Okiya Subaru thought about it again, and found a mess, and he couldn't understand how the other party did it.

"..." After realizing this serious problem, he fell into deep thought for a while.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking, after this teaching task, what if Uzo let himself plan the next time, or the next time?

... After thinking about it, I don't have any ideas, I just feel a headache.

Okiya Subaru sighed, and had no choice but to put this bleak future aside for the time being—it was useless to think about it, and by then, he might have already run away.Compared with this uncertain future, the most important thing now is indeed the task at hand.

Okiya Subaru thought, although he still couldn't grasp the essence of "manipulating the case".

But just guiding others to discover the corpse in the field, and then proving that the corpse is related to the target Watanuki Yoshiichi, the task should be completed-of course, he did not forget Uzo's warning, knowing that in the process, he must not be People got hold of it.

So on this day, Okiya Subaru took many measures such as "building roadblocks on other roads so that others can only pass by the burial site", "throwing a conspicuously colored leaflet near the burial site from a dead corner that no one sees, Attract people to accidentally discover dead bodies while 'cleaning up the trash'".

……

At the end of the day, the body was still buried so well that no one noticed it at all.

Okiya Subaru: "..."

... Until then, he really realized the complexity of the matter.

The burial site, after all, is on a piece of private land, and normal people would never enter it.

Even if it goes in, it won't dig around in the ground near the corpse.

……

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and soon came the third day, Saturday.

There are only two days left before the deadline for the task - the board of directors.

With a pair of weak dark circles under his eyes, Okiya Subaru learned from the pain and came up with a new plan-since ordinary people wouldn't do that kind of thing, the only thing he could do was... find some brats to invade private land and dig the soil .

Of course, Okiya Subaru thought that in order to avoid the psychological shadow left by the children, when the corpse was about to be dug up, he would hug the tool child away in advance and dig the rest by himself, trying not to hurt their young and fragile hearts.

……

While Okiya Subaru was draped in the dim light of the early morning, he was thinking hard and conceiving a new plan.

Jiang Xia took a leisurely sleep and got up slowly.

After breakfast at the neighbor's house next door, he came to the detective agency, ready to sort out the commissions piled up in the mailbox recently, and check to see if the boss was there and if there were any new cases.

It's a pity that Toru Amuro still doesn't haunt the office.

However, when packing away the newspapers, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Jiang Xia was startled, turned to look at the door, and found that the person who came was a fierce-looking man.

The client with a villainous face has a very straightforward personality, and he pushed the door straight in after ringing the doorbell.

Seeing Jiang Xia coming up to him, he looked at the detective and went straight to the point: "I want you to help me find my sister."

"..." Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

... Coincidentally, the client found him here.

He pointed to the sofa in the living room and motioned the guests to sit down: "Please wait a moment."

Then go get the entrustment form and make tea for the guests by the way.
