Conan's Corpse Picker

But Okiya Subaru carefully recalled the previous intersection between the two parties.

I found that at that time, Jiang Xia didn't ask any more questions, and didn't make any guiding behavior.

...No matter how you look at it, he is just a detective who doesn't know any extra information and concentrates on the commission.

——This is obviously not in line with Uzo's goal of "promoting the search for the corpse and sending Watanuki Yoshiichi to the bureau as soon as possible".

In other words, Jiang Xia is not at all like the wage earners under Uzo's command—Okiya Subaru doesn't believe that someone can deliberately slow down the progress and paddle in front of Uzo's boss.

In addition, there is one more point.

Jiang Xia's style of solving crimes in the past was "as fast as reading a script"... Thinking about it carefully, this is actually a flaw in itself.

If Jiang Xia is really Uzuo's subordinate and is doing things according to Uzuo's orders, then this kind of drama-free way of reading scripts to solve the case is actually a failure—it's like a series of dramas piled up to the end, and the final chapter opens, The troupe should have presented the audience with the most profound and magnificent performance, revealed the foreshadowing, and given the ending.However, all of a sudden, all the actors left the stage, and all the props were removed. Only the narrator walked over, yawned, flipped open the book, and read the script dryly on the stage. It was still a simplified version without any details...

If Uzo was the director of this scene, he would have been very tolerant if he hadn't rushed onto the stage with Uzi and beat that self-assertive narrator into a honeycomb.

...No matter how you think about it, what Jiang Xia has done is not what a qualified younger brother should do.

Generally speaking, when Wu Zuo and Jiang Xia are related to the case, they will remind people of "scripts".

But there is probably no specific relationship between these two "scripts".It will become like this, just because Jiang Xia originally used this style of solving crimes.

Chapter 784 Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo have absolutely nothing to do

Moreover, the previous encounter gave Okiya Subaru an opportunity to observe Jiang Xia up close.

This also confirms this.

——Jiang Xia is not really reading the script, he obviously has a process of observation and reasoning, and the progress of solving the case will be delayed due to lack of intelligence.so……

Sure enough, I thought too much.

……

Okiya Subaru was relieved at the same time.

On the other side, someone's heart rose.

"What did you say?!" In the Central Hospital, Mian Guanyi slapped the table one by one, glaring at the front desk, "Didn't you make the call to urge me to come for an examination?!"

The front desk nodded cautiously: "Sorry, we really haven't made such a call." Then, looking at Yoshiichi Watanuki's age, he couldn't help reminding in a low voice, "Telecom fraud seems to be popular recently, although I haven't seen it yet." I've used that kind of rhetoric, but you must be careful."

Watanuki Yoshiichi: "..."

His face contorted for a moment, and suddenly he thought of something, turned around and went out, and took a taxi home.

……

However, when Yoshiichi Mianguan rushed to the door of the house.

What should have happened has already happened.

——At the door of his house, a large group of police cars surrounded him.

The police seemed to have just arrived, and they were hastily opening the door to get out of the car.

And in the yard, there was a person standing at this moment.

——Masao Koda threw away the thin stick used for digging, and smiled at the police who arrived: "I want to surrender."

Behind him, on the neat lawn of Mian Guanyi's family, there are already countless small holes.

"I scattered and buried the stolen gems in this yard. To be honest, there are a lot of them, and I forgot which one was buried where. If you want to find..." Koda Masao, as if showing his own work, He waved his hand back, with a relaxed expression, "I'm afraid the whole field will have to be turned over."

Miwako Sato sighed.Not long after the search was arranged, she vaguely guessed Masao Koda's purpose.After that, her personal thoughts briefly conflicted with her responsibilities as a policeman, and when she rushed over to take a look, she realized that this was indeed the case.

The suspect who surrendered himself explained where the stolen goods were buried.

Now, even if Watanuki Yoshiichi objected, the police would have to search his yard.

Mianguanyi stood in front of a group of people with a cold face.Koda Masao looked at him and sneered: "What's the matter? Are there buried bones in your yard that the police can't see?"

The store manager Kojima looked at Jiang Xia, then at Masao Koda, and finally at the policeman, followed by the fire: "We must find my gem!"

"..." Mianguanyi stared at Masao Koda for a while, then suddenly let out a sneer.

He pushed away a few steps: "Dig if you want."

……

It happened that there were no murders today, and there were plenty of people.

Sato quickly called in a lot of policemen, and began to dig carefully in Yoshiichi Watanuki's yard, trying not to miss a single corner.

——Since you've found it, let's find it thoroughly.Koda Sanae couldn't find it for a day, and this matter couldn't be solved for a day.

When half of the yard was opened.

From the corner of Jiang Xia's eyes, she caught a touch of lighter hair color.

He turned his head and saw that Okiya Subaru had appeared nearby at some point.

After meeting their gazes, the new subordinate paused slightly.

Soon, Okiya Subaru walked over with guilt on his face, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I wanted to stop him, but on the way, Mr. Koda left by himself..." Okiya Subaru still remembered that he had separated from Jiang Xia just now At that time, the excuse he made was "I was worried about Masao Koda, so I went to see him".

Jiang Xia nodded, and thoughtfully helped his subordinates pass the steps: "He has a motorcycle and is very determined. If he wants to leave, you can't stop him."

Okiya Subaru: "..." This was exactly the excuse I was looking for.

He was still thinking that if he said this himself, it would appear a bit deliberate, so he hesitated.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia also considered these details, and said it out on her own initiative... What a good person.Okiya Subaru once again felt the huge difference between Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo, and he felt it in his heart.

……

After solving this small flaw, Okiya Subaru refocused on the business.

Seeing that the police were digging the yard of Mianguanyi's family, he sighed secretly.

It is indeed a good conspiracy to rob the gem shop and lead the police to search, but...

The place is wrong.

Okiya Subaru looked at his watch, recalled the mission deadline, and Uzuo's kind smile, couldn't help pushing his glasses to hide his anxiety.

But no matter how urgent it was, there were cops all around, and a sharp detective.The more this is the case, the more patient you need to be... Fortunately, they have already found out this step, and they are not far from the truth.

Okiya Subaru looked at the group of busy people in front of him, thinking about how to let them find the correct search direction as soon as possible. For a moment, he felt that he had experienced Uzo's higher-level God's perspective.

The only difference is probably that Uzo looks relaxed and sure of winning, but he has to bear the pain of conscience and worry about the time limit given by Uzo...

Okiya Subaru sighed in his heart, secretly observing the people present, ready to find the right opportunity to speed up the progress of the case.

……

Until dusk, more than half of the lawn of the villa was turned over from the inside to the outside. At this time, all the lost gems of Chihiro Kojima had been found, but nothing related to the "female corpse" had been found.Not even a scrap of clothing was seen.

There is still a small half of the lawn left.

Mian Guanyi looked at the policeman with a trace of provocation: "It's rare that you help me open up the land. I'll turn this half into a family vegetable garden. Do you want to continue with the remaining half?"

Miwako Sato looked at the calm Yoshiichi Watanuki, then at Masao Koda, who was obviously a criminal suspect but was mixed in the police force and digging harder than anyone else, and turned to the disheartened subordinates helplessly: "continue."

... The matter has come to this point, and everything has been excavated, so I have to dig it all.

At the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Xia, who was watching the police digging the ground, also sighed.

This time the clue check-in point is really far away.

However, it has been delayed until now, and he continues to solve the case smoothly step by step, but he is not like the usual agile detective.He stroked his chin, thought for a while, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Conan and Hui Yuanai sensed Jiang Xia's movements and followed quickly.

Okiya Subaru hesitated for a moment, then seemed to blend into their team naturally.

Jiang Xia whispered as he walked, "Mr. Mianguan looks very confident. I always feel that even if the rest of the ground is dug up, it will be difficult to find the body."

Okiya Subaru, like an innocent passer-by, showed a shaken emotion confused by the murderer: "That Ms. Koda, has she really been here?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xia glanced at him, feeling that he had picked up a subordinate of a showman.

He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I just heard from you that you are busy with your paper...follow us, is the paper okay?"

Chapter 785 How many people died around you

!Okiya Subaru: "..."

Why did he suddenly bring up his sad...

The thesis is indeed on the verge of death.

But compared to the professor who speaks but does not act, Uzo on the other side is the real "dead line".When the two collide, he must give priority to the task.After all, if the task cannot be completed, of course there is no need to write the paper.

... However, this kind of reason is of course not easy to say directly.

Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses, showing a gentle and helpless smile: "In fact, I have always wanted to have a younger sister. Every time I see other people's younger sisters, I always feel very envious. Mr. Koda suddenly encountered such a thing... Although I have never met him before, but I also want to contribute a little bit of my own strength... For the thesis, the last day is actually the fastest to write. I have already prepared all the basic materials, and I just need to organize them into the thesis at that time."

Jiang Xia: "..."

The reason is a bit nonsense, but with that sincere expression, it seems quite believable... Considering that this is a world where people can kill people for various trivial reasons, then for "wanting a sister", give up It is actually very reasonable to write a thesis and get involved in a troublesome case.

Jiang Xia felt that this subordinate was okay, so he nodded and agreed to join the team to solve the case.

By the way, I shared my information and ideas with Okiya Subaru: "I don't think Koda-san seems to be lying, and Mr. Watanuki's reaction is indeed a bit strange... But everything must be based on evidence, although I believe in my own observation skills , but if there is a problem with the observed object itself—for example, because Mr. Koda misses his sister too much, and his cognition of the facts is biased, then the observation result will naturally be biased, so it is necessary to continue the investigation.

"So I plan to go to Ms. Koda's company, ask her colleagues, and verify the specific whereabouts of Ms. Koda after work, as well as the situation before her disappearance-from what Mr. After work, the workload is heavy, and occasionally I encounter bad-tempered clients. If she disappears because of other things, such as too much pressure and want to commit suicide, or emotional disputes, if you ask her colleagues directly, you should be able to start from that day clues were found in the situation.

"In this case, there will be a big difference between listening to Koda Masao and listening directly to his colleagues. Mr. Koda obviously cares about his sister. It may be difficult for him to accept that her sister committed suicide or had an accident. Follow the clue of Yoshiichi Mianguan to follow...Of course, compared to accidents, the probability of problems with Mr. Mianguan is indeed not low..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia seemed to have remembered something, took out her mobile phone, and started typing to send emails.

The two walked side by side, Okiya Subaru was slightly taller.He waited for a while, then looked at Jiang Xia's mobile phone screen secretly.

In the email Jiang Xia was writing, the recipient said "Officer Sato", which should be the policewoman just now.

The content is then:

[To be on the safe side, besides the courtyard of Mr. Mianguan’s house, let’s take the opportunity to look for it nearby—the client is right in saying that Mr. Mianguan’s villa does not have a garage. He really can’t drive, and he doesn’t plan to learn .If someone did kill, chances are the body wasn't too far from home.In addition, you can ask the people nearby if Watanuki Yoshiichi has traveled with a huge box recently]

The more books you read, the faster your reading speed will be.

Before Jiang Xia sent the email, during the routine review and inspection, Okiya Subaru also scanned the content.
