Conan's Corpse Picker

Moreover, "Miss Takenaka" is really not a good citizen in terms of behavior - not only invited Jiang Xia to drink draft beer together in broad daylight and night, but also tried to take minors to the bar just now... Even if it was because of herself I also drink, and I feel that alcohol is not harmful to people, so I sent out this kind of invitation, but the topic of "high school detectives hang out in bars late at night" is not a good thing for Jiang Xia...

Thinking of this, Conan sighed tiredly.

I hope that the people Jiang Xia attracts this time are just a little deviant.

In this way, as long as they are alert enough, at least Miss Takenaka will not cause any major problems.

……

Just eat and drink like this, listen to the singing, and chat with a few out-of-tune brain circuits by the way.

The atmosphere gradually eased down.

——After all, although there are two cadres of the dark organization sitting next to the wine table, they are indeed not hostile to the two high school students across the table.

Conan observed for a long time and found that Belmode didn't seem to do anything other than drink happily.He gradually felt that maybe he was thinking too much.

After withdrawing his attention from the "bad girl", Conan lowered his head and found that on his plate, the snacks he took just now had been eaten unconsciously.

So he hopped off his chair, picked up the tray, and was going to get some more from the buffet.

Mao Lilan also followed.

In the blink of an eye, the enthusiastic songs just now were sung.

The atmosphere on the stage changed slightly, and the tone of the music changed from intense to long and gentle.

Drummer Yusuke Nakamura stood up from the drum kit, picked up a guitar, and took over the lead vocalist's position.

As the leader of the band, Nakamura Yusuke, who knows everything, plucked the strings of the guitar, and said with a smile: "Next, I will present a classic song that everyone is familiar with—"

When Jiang Xia heard the change, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at the stage.

Chapter 825 I just glanced at him...

The VIP table chosen by Mao Lilan is very close to the stage.

As soon as Jiang Xia moved, Yusuke Nakamura on the stage subconsciously turned his gaze to the audience who turned to him.

Seeing Jiang Xia's face clearly, he froze for a moment.

After a brief pause, Nakamura Yusuke scanned the entire auditorium again and returned to the state of singing.

He followed up on what he had just said and announced the track: "S&G's "Farewell"!"

……

Beside, Belmode keenly captured the tiny interaction between the two.

Mao Lilan and Conan went to add food, and they couldn't hear them talking.

Belmode pulled the stool, leaned towards Jiang Xia, and asked in a low voice with interest: "What's the matter? Someone you know?"

"That's right." Jiang Xia glanced at her empty draft beer mug, "I met him on Nikmai TV before, and we said a few words."

Belmode: "Is that so..."

She recalled the slightly expectant look that Uzuo looked at the stage when Yusuke Nakamura spoke just now.I always feel that something is not right.

After feeling doubts, go forward and think about it again:

Before that, when Yukiko Watanabe sang, Uzuo also looked at the stage several times.

At that time, Belmode felt that Uzo's gaze was a little strange, as if he was not looking at the lead singer who should be the most conspicuous, but a little bit off.

She thought it was because she happened to be sitting next to Jiang Xia, and the light here was very dark, creating an illusion.

But looking at it now, look in the direction where Uzo's line of sight shifted just now.

— It was the singing drummer who Uzo saw several times at the time.

After discovering this, Belmode couldn't help thinking of the non-standard observation reports and cases that Gin handed over to her when Gin asked her to be a "psychiatrist" some time ago.

Belmode: "..." I heard that Uzo has a bad taste in randomly grabbing lucky passers-by as extras.

In addition, according to Qin Jiu's words, Wu Zuo also likes to "sow the seeds of evil in other people's hearts casually"... Speaking of which, Qin Jiu is obviously a killer, but sometimes he speaks in a gentle manner.But in the current scene, this description is quite appropriate.

At least Belmode looked at the current situation, combined with what Uzo said just now "had a few words with Nakamura Yusuke", suddenly there was a picture in his mind: Jiang Xia and Nakamura Yusuke ran into each other on Nimai TV.While chatting casually, Uzo's seemingly polite eyes examined the other person's heart like a cold and precise machine, and then waved his hand when saying goodbye, silently casting a terrible thing in the shadow of Nakamura Yusuke's heart.

So... this drummer who is singing is also an "actor" who was unfortunately picked by Uzo?

After reaching this conclusion, Belmode suddenly understood the reason why "Uzo always rejected him in the past, but today he suddenly agreed to go out together".

"..." Uzuo probably agreed to her invitation just to watch and urge the impending murder—this rooftop restaurant is just next to the bar they had agreed upon before, and there is probably no straight-line distance between them. More than 100 meters.With such a small distance, if something happens at the rooftop restaurant, even if they are at the bar, they can rush over as soon as they want to, and finish what they need to see.

According to this, Belmode's thoughts were flying:

At the beginning, when she sent a message to Wu Zuo, she didn't expect that she could really ask someone out.So the location she chose was very random, she just randomly picked one from the bars she planned to go to in the near future.

...However, there are actually not that many well-known bars that "recently launched new dessert wines of the season".

Perhaps a few hours ago, it was through her few descriptions that Uzo realized that the bar Belmode mentioned was near the "stage" he was optimistic about, so he agreed to the invitation.

Thinking of this, Belmode suddenly realized.

Everything seemed to make sense.

——If it was just for drinking, Uzo might not come.

But coupled with the murder case and her...

I heard that Uzo has always had the habit of "drawing important audiences to watch murder dramas".

And "Bermod" is a mysterious organization cadre.Even vodka can be seen by Uzo, and he is often forcibly drawn to "appreciate" murders.In this case, Belmode thought, Uzo would not let a person of his weight take the initiative to send him to the door...

No wonder Wu Zuo promised so readily before.

"..." Thinking that Uzo just invited her to watch a play, and didn't intend to treat her like Bourbon.Belmode's tense mood eased a little.

After she "figured out" this point, her attention soon fell on another matter that she was particularly concerned about.

……

... If so, what happened to the sudden appearance of angel and cool_guy?

Is it a pure chance encounter, or Wu Zuo's deliberate arrangement?

It was difficult for Belmode to draw a conclusion for a while.

At first glance, the main reason they are sitting at this rooftop restaurant now is that Xiaolan has won a VIP ticket for the rooftop restaurant.

But carefully recall the process of meeting the two sides.If Uzo offered to treat guests, or wanted to try this newly opened restaurant, they would still come—the content of "accidental" in this is actually far less than it seems.

... anyway.

Belmode looked at Uzobi with a lot of focused eyes after changing the lead singer.Realized that it won't be long before there must be a murder here.

Belmode: "..." Fortunately, things have developed to this point, Angel should not be so afraid of murder.

Cool_guy doesn't have to worry - although he really doesn't want to see his life disappear, he really likes the process of solving cases and digging out the truth...

Ok?

Thinking of this, Belmode was startled suddenly:

In my impression, Uzo would assassinate at designated locations except when completing organizational tasks.

Usually, he prefers to make some daily cases casually.

Now that I think about it, the reason for the latter is that besides "Uzo himself likes it"... maybe there is also the entertainment idea of ​​"making a difficult problem for friends"?

Belmode remembered that Conan could be seen in many reports about Uzo's case-solving.

Before, she was a little puzzled about this kind of behavior, thinking that cool_guy took the initiative to pursue the case, and when she heard that there was a murder case around Jiang Xia, she would rush over there quickly.

...But thinking about it now, if Uzo wanted to prevent Conan from contacting the murder case, given his current relationship with the police, Conan, a child, would not be able to sneak into the murder scene.

So cool_guy can get close to those cases, there must be Uzo's acquiescence behind it.

"..." Thinking about it this way, all the previous violations were immediately answered.

——These small daily cases that happened around me may be the "Daily Puzzle" given to cool_guy by Uzo, as well as a little friendly challenge.

This heavy "truth" made Belmode feel a little complicated, and he sighed silently.

If one day, cool_guy and angel discover the true face of Wu Zuo "Jiang Xia" under the skin...

Chapter 826 What do you want to do?

Thinking of this, Belmode looked towards the stage.

Looking at the drummer who knew nothing about her own destiny, she had dark eyes, as if she saw the distant future through that person.

——She and Wu Zuo, who are in the dark, are different from angel and cool_guy after all... Although at present, cool_guy only looks at her with wary eyes, and doesn't think there is anything wrong with "Jiang Xia" next to him.But in the long run, this must be a tragedy.

Uzo was in a somewhat similar situation to her, which made Belmode faintly moved.

She silently put down the empty wine glass in her hand, pushed it away, got up and patted Jiang Xia next to her: "Let's go, go and accompany me to choose some meals with wine."

Jiang Xia was slapped by her, and she also looked away from the stage, and gave her a slightly suspicious look.

Then nodded, stood up, and the two walked towards the place where the buffet was placed.

……

Belmode took some desserts and drank another glass of draft beer.

After that, she picked up the wine glass, straightened up and looked around, and found that Uzo had walked to the edge of the roof at some point and was looking down.This is the top floor, and the young cadre looked at the bottom of the building silently, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down into the abyss.

Belmod stared at the somewhat lonely figure and sighed inwardly.Holding the wine glass, he walked over.

——When it was dark and there were few people here, give Wu Zuo a few sips to comfort his conscience, and the staff in the store should not find out.

……

However, just walked to Jiang Xia's side.

Before he could speak, Belmode paused.

"..." At this moment, she could see Uzuo's expression clearly, and she realized that Uzuo didn't seem to be "lonely" at all. Look forward to the selected "actor".

Belmod: "..."

again?
