Conan's Corpse Picker

Okiya Subaru also sighed in his heart: Grief and nostalgia, such a humanized young man is like a real person.

In comparison, Wu Zuo doesn't look a few years older than Jiang Xia, the difference is almost like a human being and a devil...

Okiya Subaru stood next to Jiang Xia, feeling the breath of a normal young man, so as to gradually erase the psychological shadow Uzo left on him.

Beside, Conan was originally worried that Jiang Xia's conscience was too strong and he didn't want to lie and accidentally revealed the fact that "Kudo Shinichi is still alive", which attracted the attention of the black organization.

But now it seems that things have passed smoothly——Jiang Xia looked up at the sky just now, her eyes fluttering, this kind of evasive appearance of being forced to lie, it just fits the key word "escape", which can be interpreted as "escape from the reality of a friend's death" .

In short, after some simple greetings, all three of them felt that the communication was pleasant.

Only Hui Yuanai, looking at Jiang Xia's jerky lie, always felt that something was wrong.

...However, since Jiang Xia didn't give any reminder, then this incident should have nothing to do with the organization.She hesitated to take off the hood, and then silently smoothed her messy hair.

……

Okiya Subaru succeeded in talking, and was about to follow Jiang Xia's avoidance of "friend's death" and shift the topic to the "corpse" Koda Masao was looking for.

But before he could speak, a tense voice came from beside him.

——Masao Koda was staring at the courtyard through the iron gate.

Seeing Yoshikazu Watanuki finally walk out of the small door on the side of the house, Masao Koda gritted his teeth and reminded the temporary accomplices around him: "He has come out."

Okiya Subaru was stunned, he could only temporarily stop his plan to continue talking to Jiang Xia, he looked through the iron gate and looked into the courtyard of the villa.

A burly old man with gray hair came out with a bad expression on his face.

Koda Masao glared at him as he approached - in the eyes of Koda Masao, Watanuki Yoshiichi must be his sister-killing enemy.

……

Mian Guanyi looked at the group of people outside through the fence gate, and frowned.

As he walked, he seemed to put his hand into his pocket naturally, and put the baseball in his hand into his pocket.

Just now, Yoshiichi Mianguan has been staying on the second floor of the villa, spying on the group of children playing ball on the construction site.

Therefore, I also saw the scene of the baseball flying into my yard.

He came out so slowly because it took him a while to find the ball in the yard after hearing the doorbell.

—— Yoshiichi Watanuki intends to use this baseball to negotiate with the children, telling them to roll away and stay away from this area.

As for the adult who was messing around with the child...it's even easier, just tell him that if he breaks into the construction site again, he will call the police, and he will be able to drive away these annoying guys.

Unexpectedly, when they found the ball and were about to come out to negotiate, there were two more people outside the courtyard.

Yoshishi Watanuki looked carefully for a moment, and his eyes quickly fell on Masao Koda.He recognized the man who had been pestering him for more than a month, showing a vigilant and disgusted expression.

Watanuki Yoshiichi didn't mention baseball anymore, he clenched his fists tightly, walked to the door aggressively, and looked at Masao Koda: "I've said it many times, that useless woman never came to my place! You persecuted delusional Peeping Tom, stay away from my house!"

Chapter 777 You know too much

"You...!" Koda Masao was originally irritable, but at this moment, when he heard Yoshiichi Watanuki scolding someone first, he immediately became angry and rushed towards the enemy he believed to be in front of him.

The iron courtyard door was pushed by him with a loud crash, Mian Guanyi was startled, clutching his heart and backing away.

After a while, he looked at his sturdy door, calmed down, took out his cell phone with an angry snort, and pretended to call the police.

Koda Masao failed to break open the door, but stretched out his hand and climbed up the courtyard door, as if he wanted to turn over from above to beat someone.

Jiang Xia and Okiya Subaru were stunned, and reached out their hands almost at the same time, holding him: "Calm down, if you are detained by the police, you will not be able to do anything—at least you can investigate freely now."

"..."

Masao Koda was grabbed by both hands, and gradually regained consciousness.He stared at Yoshiichi Mianguan and the mobile phone that Yoshiichi Mianguan was about to call the police for a while, and finally let go of his hand holding the railing, and fell back to the ground again.

Jiang Xia patted him to comfort him.

Okiya Subaru watched this scene, pushed his glasses, his thoughts were complicated.

The young famous detective stopped Koda Masao, just caring about this irritable ordinary citizen.

And when I did this, I was sympathetic, but I was also worried that after Masao Koda was arrested, no one would be persistent in finding the body.

... Jiang Xia, a detective with a strong conscience, can act according to his own heart; his twisted and terrifying new boss has no conscience at all, and can also act according to his black heart, and he looks very happy.

...In comparison, it is too difficult for a person like myself who is neither bad nor bad.

Okiya Subaru sighed, feeling like he was stepping on two boats, one red and one black, with Uzo on one side and Shuichi Akai on the other.He conceived a little about the actions he should take in the future, and pressed his forehead with a headache.Decided to think about nothing first, and concentrate on solving the task in front of me.

……

When this kind of conflict happened, the plan of the boy detective team to pick up the ball, and Jiang Xia's plan of "going to sit with Mian Guanyi's family" naturally all fell through.

Mianguanyi didn't stay outside much.He snorted coldly, and quickly walked back to the villa with an attitude of fleeing in spite of being aggressive.Obviously, he also felt that the yard was not safe.

Koda Masao kicked the iron gate angrily.

He shook off the two people who were pulling him, and looked at Jiang Xia who proposed "peacefully solve the problem": "Have you seen that?? He won't let us in at all! Let alone sit down and talk!"

After a pause, Masao Koda suddenly lowered his voice: "When he goes to the hospital for an examination in a while, you can go in with me to dig up the body—if you have any concerns, I can do it myself."

Hui Yuanai raised his ears vigilantly, and secretly poked Jiang Xia behind the back, reminding him that this is illegal.

... As a member of the organization, Jiang Xia can sneak over to dig someone's yard in the middle of the night, but he cannot agree in person.Especially now that there are two strangers present, every word Jiang Xia says now may become notarized in court in the future - even she, a researcher, knows that people in the organization may not be so law-abiding, but they must not stay Evidence...Speaking of which, Jiang Xia didn't need Jiang Xia to secretly dig up the corpse in the yard, so why did he have to be accompanied by detectives?

Hui Yuan Ai's thinking couldn't help but synchronize with some organization cadres who also love to think too much.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, but did not agree: "I will go to other places to confirm the situation first. If there are indeed signs that the corpse is hidden in the yard, I will help you."

...Nevermind normally, but now there is Okiya Subaru next to him.Be more rigorous, first go to the clue point to play a wave of cards, and then come back to solve the case at high speed.

However, Masao Koda didn't understand the details of the famous detective's case-solving. He shook his head and showed a sad sneer: "The famous private detective really started to cherish feathers." Speaking of this, he raised his hand and wiped his face. Taking a deep breath, he seemed to have calmed down completely, "Illegal entry is indeed against the law, I shouldn't be looking for you."

Koda Masao turned around and left, looking a little lonely from his back, copying his pockets.

Jiang Xia stood behind him, silently watching him leave with his murderous intent.

When Masao Koda disappeared from the field of vision, Jiang Xia identified the surrounding direction and walked towards the station.

……

The other kids lost their baseball, and they didn't dare to ask the fierce landlord, so they had to follow Jiang Xia home helplessly.

Okiya Subaru subconsciously followed the team here.

Although the client expressed disappointment, Jiang Xia seems to have not given up on the investigation.Okiya Subaru secretly prayed that things would go well, and intuitively felt that Jiang Xia should be his hope to complete the task-judging from past reports, Jiang Xia is definitely a genius in solving crimes.

Speaking of which, there are more and more geniuses now... If my young genius boss suddenly meets Jiang Xia, will he fight?One has carefully written the script, but the other can always see through it at a glance. No matter how you look at it, they are natural rivals.

... But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no conflict.

After all, even if the case is solved, the unlucky ones are only the targets of murder.The whole case seemed to have nothing to do with Uzo.

Detectives are always one step behind, waiting for the murder to arrive on the scene.By that time, Wu Zuo's mission has already been accomplished, Jiang Xia will be able to expose the "murderer"'s attempt and bring the case to an end.

Even conversely, if there is no detective, these well-designed cases are like dramas that no one reveals, and artistic foreshadowings that no one reads—for example, through precise and complicated operations, Uzo has come up with an exquisite, The relationship between the characters is intricate and confusing, and the background is thought-provoking. After the incident, the police came to the scene to take a look under Wu Zuo's expectant eyes.

"..." Okiya Subaru only imagined that scene, as if he felt Uzo's monstrous anger through his brain.

He couldn't help wrapping his coat a little tighter.

... Think about it too.No matter how talented Jiang Xia is, he is only a detective after all. He is also a private investigator who has been in contact with all kinds of wonderful clients, and it is not surprising that he dies suddenly one day.

According to Okiya Subaru's impression of Uzuo, if Uzuo felt that "Jiang Xia", a detective who solved the case quickly, was an obstacle, he would have let the innocent detective "accidentally die" long ago.

And now... Although the positions are completely different, in a sense, these two geniuses can reach a kind of tacit cooperation...

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru suddenly remembered something and was startled.

"..." He remembered that many media, when praising Jiang Xia's quick thinking in solving crimes, would describe him as "seeing through the criminal's script at a glance".

script……

script? !

Chapter 778

Okiya Subaru: "!!"

Thinking about the unintentional evaluation of the media, and thinking about the way Uzo completed the task, Okiya Subaru suddenly had some kind of horrifying association.He accidentally tripped over the curb under his feet and staggered two steps before regaining his footing.

Ahead, the little mixed-race girl next to Jiang Xia heard the movement and turned her head to look at him in surprise.

When his eyes fell on Okiya Subaru's glasses, he seemed to think that this kind of thing was normal for a myopic eye who was driven crazy by the thesis. Haibara turned her head back and continued to walk. way.

"That... I'm a little worried about that gentleman just now, I always feel that he will act impulsively." Okiya Subaru made an excuse casually, and said to Jiang Xia like an enthusiastic passer-by, "I can't help much in investigating the case. I'm busy, why don't you go and have a look at him... If you need any help, you can come to me anytime."

Jiang Xia nodded, grabbed the three brats who wanted to slip away with Okiya Subaru, and glanced at the back of Okiya Subaru leaving.

...Just now, the expression of the new subordinate was a bit strange, and there was a vague sense of familiarity.

Jiang Xia recalled it carefully, and found that the appearance of Okiya Subaru just now was similar to the expression he had when he suddenly found out that "Uzo is not a good person", as if he had broken some great secret...

"..."

...This guy with glasses who loves to think a lot, isn't he trying to take off his vest?

Jiang Xia touched his chin, and thought about it from the perspective of Okiya Subaru, feeling that this is not a simple matter.

——First of all, unless Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai were promoted to a position like Gin within a year, there would be no information about "Exia=Uzo" at all.

As for the connection between "Wu Zuo" and "Jiang Xia"...

There are many coincidences in the world. It is not unreasonable for a crime-solving genius and a behind-the-scenes man to exist in Tokyo at the same time. From the perspective of the world, it is quite reasonable.After all, where there is black, there is white, and where there is light, there is darkness——Jiang Xia can be a top detective who has vaguely noticed the clues left by Wu Zuo, but there is no real evidence yet, so he has to investigate silently by himself.

... Even if you dig deeper, everything will still be borne by "Uzo".

For example, in order to improve the efficiency of his mission, Wu Zuo deliberately provided clues to get the detectives involved... If he digs deeper, he will at most find out that "Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo's subordinate, usually a detective finds the case and solves it by himself. Experience life, help Wu Zuo solve a case at a critical moment, and experience work".

Even this most superficial layer is far from easy to dig.

Even if Okiya Subaru or Akai Shuichi really dug it out, the FBI is not an island country police, they even get tourist visas, and if they are not careful, they will be deported back to the country—without conclusive evidence and only relying on guesswork, " Jiang Xia" and "Akai Hideichi + Okiya Subaru" are placed in front of the police at the same time, no matter how they think, the police here will arrest the latter first.

……

Jiang Xia meditated while walking.

The only thing that makes people curious now is how much Akai Hideo knows about "Jiang Xia".

——The status of "peripheral member" of "Jiang Xia" is indeed not a secret among some people.
