Conan's Corpse Picker

He looked away, feeling more at ease.

——No matter how you look at it, Jiang Xia's thinking in solving the case is very independent and clear, with evidence to follow.

That is to say, Jiang Xia really solved the case by himself, not Wu Zuo secretly stuffing scripts for his subordinates.

It seems that my previous deduction is not wrong, Jiang Xia is not Wu Zuo's subordinate.

After confirming this conclusion again, Okiya Subaru relaxed a lot.

Looking away from Jiang Xia, he suddenly noticed something.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the two children who were following Jiang Xia, they were all looking at him at this moment, for an unknown how long Youyou stared at him.

Okiya Subaru smiled at them, a little guilty, but felt that the problem was not serious.

Although my behavior just now is not very popular, it is not suspicious-according to Okiya Subaru's observation, in fact, many people have the habit of peeping at other people's screens, such as one of his direct seniors... Speaking of it , The Obon Festival is coming soon, I have to find time to visit the grave of my senior.The senior is still good, but he is so nosy that it is a headache. If he hadn't peeked at the tutor's email and saw something terrible, he wouldn't have been silenced by that violent tutor... huh?

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru froze slightly.

But it quickly returned to normal.

"..." Jiang Xia is not someone who can't see the light, and what he sent was a normal email.The young detective was not the kind of outlaw fanatic who would casually silence others, and he took the risk of taking a peek just because he was worried about the progress of the mission.It doesn't matter, it shouldn't matter.

Okiya Subaru sighed in his heart, thinking that the only worrying thing was that his behavior just now would spoil the two children and make them think it was normal to peep at other people's screens.but……

Okiya Subaru recalled the appearance of two children staring at him just now: one was slightly vigilant, and the other showed disgust in addition to being vigilant.

"..." Well, this kind of attitude probably can't be bad, the only victim is my own image... Fortunately, after the mission is over, I won't have much interaction with these people who are much younger than him, and I will die once Nothing.

Okiya Subaru continued to silently follow Jiang Xia's case-solving team against his not-so-thick skin, and did not leave, ready to wait for the opportunity to give a reminder.

...all for Uzo's mission.

He's still young, he doesn't want to die yet...

……

A group of people with different thoughts soon came to the securities company where Koda Sanae worked before his death.

Although it was late, but fortunately, this company was in a bad situation, and the overtime hours were long enough, and now no one left except the boss.

Jiang Xia successfully found a colleague of Koda Sanae.

"It's about Sanae again..."

Yoshiko Inoue has been questioned back and forth by the police and Masao Koda several times. Hearing this topic, she feels a little annoyed.

But when she turned her head, she saw that the person who came this time was a famous detective who often appeared on TV, with two lovely children, and her mood eased a little.

Yoshiko Inoue bent down, pinched the faces of Conan and Haibara, and replied patiently: "I have actually said it several times. Sanae got off work at eight o'clock that day and said that she was going to the client's house. Later things, such as Whether or not she arrived at Mr. Watanuki's place, I don't know."

Chapter 786 The Dark Rules of the Detective World

Speaking of this, Yoshiko Inoue raised her chin to the side, signaling Jiang Xia to look at her office and those busy colleagues:

"——As you can see, we are very busy at work and work a lot of overtime. At that point in the evening, we don't have enough rest, and we don't have time to take care of other people's lives. The next day, we saw that Sanae hadn't come to work, so we slowed down. Slowly felt that something was wrong, I didn't expect that she has been missing until now..."

She sighed.

After Conan listened carefully to the clues, Yoshiko Inoue pinched his face again.

When he came back to his senses, he realized belatedly that he seemed to have accidentally betrayed his hue.

"..." However, anyway, it is adults' love for children, such a healthy and beneficial relationship for social development, it is sold as soon as it is sold.

Conan didn't have the slightest burden, and took advantage of the trend to show cuteness, and at the same time asked Jiang Xia: "By the way, sister, is there anything unusual about Sanae's appearance that day? For example, her mood is very unstable, or she has cried or something."

Yoshiko Inoue usually has little contact with customers, and she is also a smart person, who vaguely understood the meaning of what they said.

"You want to ask, is it possible for Sanae to commit suicide, or run away from home?" She looked at Jiang Xia, "I don't think so, the new cosmos I bought online that day arrived, and she asked for some seeds, and said to go back People who want to try to plant—— who want to commit suicide or run away, don’t have time to do these things.”

Hui Yuanai was also gently pinched on the face.She raised her hand, and touched her cheek with complicated emotions: she always felt that after Yoshiko Inoue started with them, the whole person became a lot easier to talk about.

She looked at the mini version of Kudo Shinichi next to her, and found that this former detective also looked well adapted.

Haibara Ai:"……"

Could it be that now, when detectives ask someone for information, they must, must...

She thought of the former store manager of Xiaodao and Jiang Xia's many customers, and couldn't help but her pupils trembled, and she grabbed Jiang Xia's sleeve: What's going on in the current world, the detectives still want to...

Jiang Xia: "...?"

He lowered his head and looked at Hui Yuanai suspiciously.

This fake kid has been acting weird today, doesn't he like being pinched?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at Miyano Akemi, who floated above Hui Yuanai's head at some point and was skillfully ruaing her sister.

Sensing the master's question, Miyano Akemi held her chin seriously and thought for a while.

Then he shook his head, expressing that he had no impression.After all, after her younger sister grew up, she rarely ran over to pinch her face.But she thinks that next time she opens the puppet, she can give it a try.The younger sister who showed resistance is also surprisingly cute...

Hui Yuanai's back turned cold, turned his head away and sneezed, rubbing his nose blankly.

Jiang Xia also didn't start, pretending that she didn't agree with Miyano Akemi's proposal just now.No, pretend not to see Akemi Miyano...

Okiya Subaru saw that they were starting to lose their minds, so he had to cancel the status of the background board, trying to hint.

He looked at Yoshiko Inoue and started chatting about the topic just now: "I also like this kind of flower. It is beautiful, has a beautiful flower language, and is easy to survive. It is a very sunny flower. Miss Koda like this really doesn't seem to know how to do it." People who committed suicide... Speaking of which, when I was playing baseball with the children today, I saw a cosmos on the construction site. It must have been a seed blown from nowhere, and it took root. Such a tenacious vitality, often I thought, maybe Ms. Koda was on her way to Yoshihiro Watanabe's family, and suddenly wanted to see the outside world, so she left."

"!" Jiang Xia grasped the key point from Okiya Subaru's words, and showed a face of "so that's the case".

"!" Conan also obviously thought of something from Okiya Subaru's words, and blurted out, "No wonder when we were playing baseball, Yoshiichi Watanuki kept peeking on the roof, and he still watched with a telescope!"

Okiya Subaru gave him a surprised look.This kid is pretty smart, as expected of Kudo Shinichi's distant cousin, and after Kudo Shinichi's death, he has been hanging around with Jiang Xia... Detectives really need to be cultivated from an early age.

……

Having obtained one of the key clues, the group quickly returned to the excavation site of Mian Guanyi's family.

Police are still digging the yard.

There was no flat place in the courtyard at this time, and Masao Koda stared at the last piece of grass to be dug, with a tense expression.

Jiang Xia was about to cross the cordon when a person suddenly appeared in the alley next to him.

Mochida looked around for a while, looked at Jiang Xia, and asked about the situation in a low voice: "What's the matter? It's not true that the corpse was dug up in the yard."

Jiang Xia was startled: "You are?"

Mochida took a closer look at him, and recognized that this was a detective who often haunts Tokyo, and guessed that Jiang Xia was probably here to help the police solve the case: "I am the witness that Mr. Koda found before."

It may be that he was suddenly involved in a murder and burial case, which made Mochida Kinichi a little excited.He pointed to the alley behind him.This is exactly the place that separates Watanuki's family from the baseball field:

"Although I was drunk, I have a good memory! That night, when I was passing through here, I heard the sound of a shovel digging the ground. At that time, I lit a cigarette and looked up to the right—look, It happened to be the yard of Mr. Watanuki's house. How about it, there must be a dead body hidden in it, so I think I heard it right."

As he spoke, he walked into the alley, imitated the action of lighting a cigarette, and turned his head gracefully.

It was indeed in the direction of Mianguanyi's courtyard.

Okiya Subaru: "..." No wonder Masao Koda was so sure that the body was hidden in Yoshiichi Watanuki's yard - in a desperate situation, a witness suddenly appeared, insisting that on the night that Sanae Koda disappeared, he heard what Watanuki said. Yoshiichi was digging in his own yard... Masao Koda's thoughts would of course be drawn to this direction.

Okiya Subaru looked at the actions of the enthusiastic passers-by, and was speechless for a moment: "But it seems that the body has not been dug up yet, and the possibility of digging up the remaining land is not high. Speaking of which, I remember that the wind was strong that day, and I The copied materials were all blown away..." He pressed his phone to check the weather conditions that day.

After the page was refreshed, Okiya Subaru said: "Sure enough...there was a strong east wind that day. In this case, people's judgment of the location of the sound source will also be affected."

Mochida Jinichi waved his hand indifferently: "Ha, how could the sound be blown away, and it's not the flame in the lighter...?" He suddenly froze.

After a while, the enthusiastic passer-by slapped his fist on the palm of his hand: "By the way, I remembered! I was..."

He walked into the alley again, made a gesture of lighting a cigarette, trying to remember something:

"I wanted to light a cigarette at the time, but the wind was so strong that the fire couldn't be started at all. So I turned around and turned my back to the direction of the wind. Then I heard the sound of digging the ground and looked to the right..."

Chapter 787 You Stand on the Bridge and Look at the Scenery

After rotating 180 degrees, the original left and right are reversed.Mochida Kinichi heard the "direction of the sound of digging" and immediately changed accordingly.

——It became the construction site next door to Watanuki's house. During the day, Okiya Subaru and the Detective Boys happened to play baseball there.

Okiya Subaru looked at the enthusiastic passer-by who stayed where he was, and pressed his forehead.

The "script" that Uzo told him before did not include anything related to Kinichi Mochida, and I don't know if it was because it was not a necessary clue, or Uzo didn't care about this passerby who happened to pass by.

——Uzuo is a talented young cadre after all. This kind of person must be very busy at work.With a president of Yoshiichi Watanuki's status, he has no time and does not have to follow him all the way.Okiya Subaru thought, maybe after Uzo sorted out his case script and pushed the incident to happen, he didn't care much about it.It was only later that I found that the progress of the case was slower than expected, so I sent my younger brother over to teach and manually advance the progress of the task.

"..." Wait, so, if Wu Zuo knew about the situation, he wouldn't blame this passerby.

——It has been a month since Koda Sanae died and was buried, but if the witness uncle in front of him remembered the details of the cigarette lighting that night, according to Koda Masao's persistence, he must have pulled out the body from the construction site long ago.

Even if the witness doesn't say anything, Masao Koda will not just stare at Yoshiichi Watanuki's yard.As long as he sticks to his reasoning that "Yoshiichi Mianguan can't drive, so the corpse is not far away" and digs around, he might be able to find it.

... Calculated in this way, this ordinary passer-by in front of him turned out to be the reason why Wu Zuo's script failed to end on time.

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru looked vaguely at Jiang Xia.Decided to pay more attention to the situation of enthusiastic passers-by after this incident is over.

——If something happened to Mochida Kinichi suddenly after this, and Jiang Xia came to solve the case just in time, then the connection between Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo might have to be reconsidered.For example, Jiang Xia disclosed this detail to the busy Uzuo, and then Uzuo casually crushed the stumbling block in his last script, and then handed over the new case to Jiang Xia to solve it, and so on. Okiya Subaru prefers that Jiang Xia has nothing to do with Uzo...but what if?

A prudent scholar should not draw conclusions lightly until all coincidences have been ruled out.

Okiya Subaru silently pushed his glasses.

In the past, he always felt that academics were very boring.Later, I became a peripheral member of the organization, only to realize that I was more suitable for academic research...

……

When Okiya Subaru worked hard to promote the process of solving the case.

A pair of eyes, from behind the reflective glasses, stared at him silently.

Okiya Subaru is obviously not the only one who loves brain supplements and associations.

——Conan contacted the back and forth, especially Okiya Subaru helped them find a place to play baseball, but found it here, and later talked about cosmos... I always feel that this is not a pure coincidence.

However, when there are still unfinished cases at the moment, Conan tends to focus on the cases first.

Jiang Xia also learned the fine tradition of this detective.

Jiang Xia glanced around, and quickly crossed the alley, and landed on the manhole cover in the middle of the alley.

He approached, knelt down and knocked, lit the flashlight again, and carefully observed the edge.

After a while, he showed a pensive look, and grabbed a lucky errand runner: "Go and find Officer Sato."
