Conan's Corpse Picker

Haibara Ai, who had witnessed everything, walked to Conan's side. She had a lot of experience and analyzed the reason for Okiya Subaru's suspicious behavior in a low voice: "——It's so pitiful, you must be driven crazy by the paper."

Then he didn't pay any more attention to the graduate student with dark circles, and walked towards Ayumi Yoshida who called her.

Conan: "..."

Is the academic world so scary...

……

When a bunch of kids start racing against the clock to play baseball.

separated by a wall.

A taxi carrying passengers passed by the construction site and slowly stopped on the street in front of Mianguanyi's family.

Soon, two guests got out of the car.

Jiang Xia raised his head, looked at the magnificent villa in front of him, and the yard that was half the size of the playground, and couldn't help but glance at Masao Koda next to him, feeling that this man who planned to dig all over his yard while Mianguanyi was away was really a very There are ideal warriors.

Chapter 775 I Was Brainwashed!

The construction site where the children were located happened to be next door to Mian Guanyi's family.

Although Conan is a child physically, he is already in high school mentally, and he always feels uncomfortable when he sneaks into other people's construction sites to play baseball with a few real kids.

While playing with the child, Conan looked around with a little guilt.

At this time, in his peripheral vision, he suddenly caught a ray of reflection - of course, the reflection was not from Okiya Subaru's glasses, but from a more distant place.

Looking carefully, the bright spot comes from the construction site next door.

The top floor of a grand villa.

Conan looked over with his hands on the awning, and found an elderly man with gray hair standing behind the window there.The man was tall and tall, holding an old-fashioned telescope in front of his eyes.The reflection just now was from the telescope.Although he couldn't see the face behind the binoculars clearly, he always felt that the man's expression was unfriendly, even a little gloomy.

"..." Conan had goosebumps silently.

It’s okay to watch them play baseball, why use binoculars to stare at them.

... a little scary.

Is it because they are too noisy?This kind of place is really easy to amplify the sound, and when the child is excited, the penetrating power of the sound is particularly strong.

Thinking about it, Conan suddenly realized something, and looked at Okiya Subaru.

——These "kids" are fine, but if this graduate student is arrested, even if he is only detained for a few days, it may affect his completion of that seemingly troublesome thesis.

Conan was about to remind this somewhat weird adult.

But before he could open his mouth, Kojima Motota yelled and swung hard. The baseball drew a beautiful parabola, accurately passed over the heads of the crowd, crossed two fences, and fell into the yard of the next door.

——It was the family who stared at them with binoculars and watched quietly.

Conan: "..."

Okiya Subaru: "..." Wonderful, good luck.

……

the other side.

After the taxi left, Jiang Xia and Masao Koda walked to the gate of Yoshiichi Watanuki's yard together.

Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, he suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps - many people were approaching this way.

Jiang Xia paused, turned around and saw several familiar children and a familiar adult.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Actually kidnapped the boy detective team, Okiya Subaru is very good...

He pressed the doorbell, looked away from the Boy Detectives, and looked at Okiya Subaru with a slightly puzzled expression, as if he didn't know why this strange man was mixing with the children he knew.

at the same time.

The three brats recognized Jiang Xia slowly.

Immediately, he instinctively launched a self-examination, reviewing his own experience today.

——Playing baseball on someone else's construction site, and flying the ball into someone's private house... In addition, going back in time, their baseball hit the head of an innocent passerby, and the victim of the passerby was there... …

Think of Jiang Xia's consistent attitude towards "bad guys".The three children stopped walking towards the gate of Mianguanyi No. [-] courtyard with a whoosh, and dared not approach.

Jiang Xia spoke kindly, seeming to be very concerned about the children's situation: "Why are you in such a panic, what happened?"

Haibara Ai tried to ease the relationship between Jiang Xia and the children, and moved a step to the side, trying to get out Yoshida Ayumi who was hiding behind her.

As a result, when she moved, Yoshida Ayumi immediately followed her and moved synchronously, like a shadow tightly behind her, which failed to achieve the expected effect at all.

Haibara Ai:"……"

She sighed, looked at Jiang Xia, and had to come by herself: "When we were playing baseball nearby, the ball accidentally flew into the yard of this family, so I wanted to ask the owner if we could go in and find the ball ..."

"Oh, it's strange that Mianguanyi agreed for a while." Next to him, Koda Masao couldn't help but sneer, "There is a corpse buried in his yard. If you let you in and you dig it out, he will kill you again." Bury a few more new corpses."

Hearing this, Okiya Subaru interjected in surprise: "A corpse?"

...pretending to be an ordinary passerby who was surprised by Masao Koda's words.

The day before yesterday, after Wu Zuo took him to see the corpse, he told him all the ins and outs of the case.

So although Okiya Subaru didn't see the photo, he quickly judged that the resentful man in front of him who was extremely hostile to Watanuki Yoshikazu was probably the brother of the corpse, Masao Koda.

After expressing surprise like a normal person, Okiya Subaru touched his chin and began to think about how to quietly give some hints so that Koda Masao and the others could find the body as soon as possible.

But after thinking about it again, "being late for the mission" and "being caught by someone suspicious of myself", these two are probably the same crimes in Wu Zuo's place.

If the reminder is too abrupt...

In the end, Okiya Subaru still didn't dare to speak - there were still a few days before the end of the mission, but he wasn't so anxious that he had to expose himself.And now, as a passer-by, he just heard the word "corpse", theoretically speaking, he shouldn't know too much.

...It's better to wait for a while, and when you catch a suitable entry point, let's give a hint naturally.

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia again, feeling how lucky he was.

—He recognized the famous high school student detective.

The presence of a detective means that not only can the corpse be found quickly, but even the discovery of the relationship between the corpse and Yoshiichi Watanuki can also be done by the detective.

In this way, Okiya Subaru thought that if he wanted to hang out under Uzo's banner for a long time in the future, it would be necessary to get to know a few more powerful detectives—as long as he lured them over when needed.

...No, wait.

Why did you suddenly start planning your career development?

At a time like this, shouldn't I pray that Mr. Akai will move faster and let himself fly away earlier...

After suddenly realizing this, Okiya Subaru fell into deep thought for a short while, and even suspected that Uzo secretly made some horrible hints when he didn't know it.

"..." After this mission is over and Wu Zuo distracts himself temporarily, he should go see a psychiatrist.It just so happens that the tutor seems to know a few professors of psychology...

……

Next to him, Conan and Huiyuan Ai were equally startled when they heard the word "corpse".

Koda Masao didn't notice the movements of the two children, but looked at Okiya Subaru - he heard Okiya Subaru's question about "corpse".

Since there are not many people who believe in Koda Masao, and Okiya Subaru looks like a scholar and looks very smart, Koda Masao couldn't help but chat with Okiya Subaru like a missionary who discovered a high-quality talent. The details of the "burial" that I guessed.

Chapter 776 The Merciful Uzo

Conan strained his ears to eavesdrop, tugged at Jiang Xia, and asked in a low voice, "Have you received the commission?"

Hui Yuanai didn't know when she put on her hood, like a cautious red mushroom, she came over quietly.

She was not interested in the entrustment, but Haibara Ai knew more than Conan—she was worried that this was another mission of the organization.If that was the case, she figured she'd better get out of the way so as not to run into any Organizational acquaintances who might be passing by.

Jiang Xia looked at Conan, then nonchalantly rua'd Hui Yuan Ai's fluffy red hood a few times, to avenge Hui Yuan Ai's bad words about him to his cat vest the morning before yesterday.

After rubbing the static electricity, he withdrew his hand and said seriously: "It's a troublesome commission..."

……

Jiang Xia briefly talked about what happened before.

After speaking, he looked up, and found that Masao Koda and Subaru Okiya who were beside him had ended their conversation at some point.

At this time, Koda Masao was ringing the doorbell over and over again, urging Watanuki Yoshiichi to go out.

Okiya Subaru was free, approached and talked to Jiang Xia, with a gentle expression: "You like children too."

In the eyes of Okiya Subaru, Jiang Xia is undoubtedly a golden channel leading to "mission completion", and his friendliness is very real.

In addition, this sentence is also a patch for Okiya Subaru to abduct the child himself, so as not to be seen by this keen detective.

——Although he would not be arrested by the police as long as he was not caught for the exact violation of the law, what if Uzo was particularly strict?

Okiya Subaru didn't dare to bet on Uzo's benevolent heart, so he could only try his best to do everything to the best, and he didn't dare to paddle at all, for fear that he would poke Uzo's minefield with his pole when paddling... and then Then I can conceive the suicide note again.

……

Jiang Xia nodded when he heard him talking, and her attitude was also very friendly: "They are all very smart kids." As he spoke, he glanced at the young detective team who shrank behind the corner in the distance, and then glanced at Conan, and pressed the button. Conscience, "They are also very sensible."

After being stared at by him, the three heads peeking around the corner shrank back.

Okiya Subaru gave a "hmm" and began to try to lead the topic to the "corpse": "However, telling these things to children will easily cause them a psychological shadow."

"Generally speaking, that's right." Jiang Xia patted Conan's head: "But he is... cough, the distant brother of my classmate. My classmate is a detective. I don't shy away from these things. He always takes this kid with him. Going to the murder scene, so he's getting used to it—sometimes, the child's perspective can also reveal some precious clues."

Okiya Subaru: "..." Jiang Xia's classmate detective...

A person quickly appeared in his mind - Kudo Shinichi.

In the past, Okiya Subaru was not very interested in detectives and murder cases.

But ever since his roommate who was on a seven-boat boat walked out vertically and was carried horizontally to the funeral parlor, Okiya Subaru couldn't help ordering newspapers in this area, and occasionally browsed for relevant information.

Therefore, he also has a good understanding of these high school student detectives in the same area, and he naturally remembers the saying "Kudo Shinichi's soul possessed a classmate" that was once hyped up by the media.

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru realized that Kudo Shinichi was dead, and judging from what Jiang Xia said just now, the two had a good relationship.

So he politely added: "My condolences."

Jiang Xia's eyes drifted to the sky, nodded, and sighed, as if mourning for a friend who went to heaven.
