Conan's Corpse Picker

Belmode has also been there a few times for various reasons.

"Probably." Jiang Xia nodded her head, with a little expectation hidden in her tone, "Look at the bridge, and also look at other things."

……

After a while.

Belmode finally saw the so-called "something else".

Before arriving at the viewing point, Jiang Xia reduced the speed of the car.

In the night, this originally eye-catching sports car became extremely low-key, quietly blending into the crowd watching the scenery.

Belmode glanced around, and his eyes quickly froze in front of him.

——Ten meters away, a car was parked.

A man and a woman were leaning against the car, laughing and chatting.

Illuminated by headlights and street lamps, it was not difficult to see the faces of the two men.The woman was very strange, and Belmode had never seen it before.

But she recognized the man who was laughing at a glance.

——It was Kogoro Mori who had been stared at by Uzo for a long time.

Chapter 841 It's not about holding grudges, it's about having a good memory

Belmode rubbed his chin with his fingertips, and keenly noticed that the woman next to Kogoro Mori seemed a little absent-minded—although she seemed to be chatting with Kogoro Mori, it was Kogoro Mori who was talking most of the time. The woman, on the other hand, pays great attention to the time, and her eyes wander, obviously not concentrating on admiring the scenery.

Combined with this, the purpose of Uzo parking the car here is very obvious.

—He definitely didn’t come to see the Dongdu Beach Bridge.

Instead, come to appreciate the cases that may happen around Mori Kogoro.

……

At this time, Belmode, as an audience who took the initiative to send it to Uzo, did not hide his scrutiny of Mori Kogoro at all.

She observed for a while naturally, then looked at Jiang Xia, preemptively: "It's this mustache again—you seem to care about him?"

"I just think it's a coincidence that he came here. It's a pleasant surprise in this case, so I'll bring you over to have a look." Jiang Xia sat in the car, leaning on the window frame with his elbows, and looked at the two talking outside the car leisurely. people.

Suddenly he turned to Belmode:

"You were right in saying something just now—it's just that watching a show is really boring."

"So why don't you make a bet?"

"—just bet on whether he can survive tonight."

He raised his chin and pointed in the direction where Mori Kogoro was.

Belmode's eyes moved, and his heart raised silently.

She didn't answer immediately, but took out a slender lady's cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a slow puff, letting her tone of voice be a little careless: "Oh? What are you betting on?"

Speaking of which, Belmode thought slowly, when did she say "watching a show is boring"?

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered—just now, in order to get the spoiler of the new case from Uzuna, she seemed to have complained about the dramas he liked to use.

Although at the time, Uzo didn't seem to care, and politely echoed her words.

But now it seems...

Belmode looked around at the river suburbs that were extremely suitable for throwing corpses, and then looked at Kogoro Mori who was so drunk that his eyelids were fighting, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

She had a calm expression on her face, but there was a faint remorse in her heart.

...Lifting a rock and hitting her own foot is simply a true portrayal of her current predicament.

If he hadn't said that before, Uzo's interest in Kogoro Mori's "accident" might not be as strong as it is now.And being noticed by Uzo is obviously not a good thing...

However, Belmode thought, since it is a "gamble".Well, if she does it right, maybe she can try to fish Kogoro Mori out of Uzo's clutches.

After all, in Uzo's eyes, Mori Kogoro should not be a target that must be killed, but just brought a little unknown "surprise" to his murder drama.

... No, it's not "unknown" either.I'm afraid that at the moment when this unstable factor was added to the script, Wu Zuo had guessed what would happen next.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have met Mori Kogoro here so accurately.

——Bermod remembered that Uzo didn't do anything like "check the location" just now, and the only few times he took out his phone was just to check the time.In other words, they met Mori Kogoro here, only relying on Uzuo's insight that ordinary people can't reach, and his grasp of people's hearts.

……

Numerous thoughts flashed through Belmode's mind, and she tried to find Kogoro Mori's way of life from the spider web-like complex clues.

While thinking, he had to have a normal conversation with Uzo, so as not to expose his abnormality.

Belmod knocked off the cigarette ash casually, as if suddenly realizing something was wrong, he said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, this bet is not fair. I don't know anything, but you know everything—it's like the director and the audience are betting on the next development of the plot. How can I win?"

"Director's description is not appropriate. I just ran into my neighbor's uncle who was being targeted by bad guys outside when I went for a ride with you." After a pause, Jiang Xia changed his words under the watchful eyes of Belmode, "Okay Well, if you really mind, I can let you choose first."

After finishing speaking, he thought softly: "He appeared here at this time, and met Ms. Shimamura. Uncle Maori fell asleep on the tram before... preventing the neighbors from drinking, but he was drunk and sleepy, which eventually led to a long sleep. Listen It looks quite alarming... but the meaning of preaching is too strong, which makes people feel boring."

"..." Belmode's fingertips holding the cigarette were slightly numb.Uzo called Uncle Maori very affectionately, as if he was quite close to him, but the malice contained in his words was so strong.

She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and realized one thing more and more clearly: the situation didn't seem to be very good. For Uzo, angel may indeed be a light worthy of protection.

...But Kogoro Mori is not necessarily the case.

The key point seems to be whether Uzo can understand the meaning of Kogoro Mori to angel, and whether he can understand the "deep relationship between parents and children".

According to Belmode's investigation, at present, the relationship between Uzo and his deceased parents seems a bit strange.

On the one hand, Jiang Xia and his wife were very busy during their lifetime, and they often had no time to take care of their son. Jiang Xia was not a clingy child either. Both of them went their separate ways, and their relationship seemed to be weak.

But on the other hand, the couple had just passed away in a car accident. That night, Jiang Xia sharpened his sword and hurriedly prepared for a family reunion...

Belmode once sneaked into the hospital where Jiang Xia was treated a year ago, and got the relevant files from there.

Judging from the information at the time, the fatal wound on Jiang Xia's wrist was deep and he struck decisively.Although he was found by neighbors and sent to the hospital before he lost blood and died, the probability of being rescued was actually very low based on the amount of blood lost at that time.Even the doctor was a little puzzled about how this man survived... It can be seen that at that time, Jiang Xia was not bored and cameo in the script, but really didn't want to stay in this world.

According to this incident, at first glance, Uzo did not seem to have no feelings for his parents.

... But this can only represent his attitude a year ago.

A person like Wu Zuo whose concept is very different from ordinary people, after going through all this... can he really understand the normal relationship between father and daughter?

What if, from then on, Wu Zuo felt that the importance of parents was "no more than that" and that they would become "a potential danger leading to self-sharks", and then enthusiastically wanted to help his friends eliminate this hidden danger in advance...

Cool_guy's parents are now in the United States, and Uzo will not be able to reach them for a while.

Angel's mother, Concubine Eri, does not live with them, and is usually very busy, so she doesn't see much...

Calculated in this way, among the four people, Moori Kogoro, who is close at hand, is obviously the most convenient for Uzo to "do something by the way".

Chapter 842 Uzo's Outlook on Life

Thinking of this, Belmode silently cast a sympathetic look at Mori Kogoro.

Also, even if you don't consider this kind of scalp-numbing speculation, think on the bright side...

The situation is still not optimistic.

For example, Wu Zuo may subconsciously think that parents are important, but he doesn't think too much about them rationally. Therefore, when Jiang Xia and his wife were killed before, he would instinctively want to chase after them, but his concept of parents still stays in the " Cohabitant” level.

In this case, once the same thing is transferred to someone else, that "instinct" will not be able to take effect. Uzo will "reasonably" infer... He will probably only think that Mori Kogoro and Mori Ran are also "cohabiting people" ".

In this way, in Uzo's eyes, although Mori Kogoro doesn't need to be purged deliberately, he is just "Xiaolan's roommate".Under this premise, when the interest comes up, Uzo will certainly not show mercy to Mori Kogoro because he is worried about the angel. They die wonderfully.

Belmode: "..." Now she can't be sure whether Uzo is testing her, and she doesn't have time to analyze what Uzo thinks in his heart and what kind of definition he has for "parents".

But in short, we must try our best to prevent this tragedy from happening.

——"Moori Kogoro was killed by Jiang Xia" is undoubtedly very scary to Angel.

And in other cases, you can still try to clean it up, but if there is a "father-killing revenge" suddenly... This means that after knowing the truth, it is impossible for angel and cool_guy to continue to treat Uzo with the previous friendly attitude.

At that time...

The various death methods of angel and cool_guy flashed through Belmode's mind from time to time, and the scene of Uzo feeling that life was boring and pulling a group of people to a desperate party flashed across his mind, and his forehead couldn't help but twitched twice.

It can't go on like this...

In short, follow Wu Zuo's words and try it out.

Thinking of this, Belmode wanted to try to draw Jiang Xia's attention away from the eternal sleep or not.

She asked with a smile: "If you want to bet, what is the bet?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while, then said casually: "If I win, do me a favor in that task of Syndora."

Belmode's eyes moved slightly.Such a specific bet?

Although even if there is no wager as a condition, if Uzo needs help, she will not refuse... But considering that young people are more concerned about face, Uzo probably doesn't like this kind of help.In other words, in this bet...

Would Uzo want to win more?

Thinking about it secretly, Belmode extinguished the cigarette in his hand and put it in the ashtray.

"What should I do... I feel that he won't live for long, but I'm also curious about your mission plan." Belmode smiled a little bit in confusion, and after a while, she seemed to have made a decision, "Then I Just bet he won't survive tonight—that way, no matter what the outcome is, it won't be disappointing."

——Bermod felt that since Uzo came to find her on purpose, it probably had a need for disguise.

This skill of hers is quite special, and Uzo has always liked complex and meticulous plans. Since she intends to ask her for help, she should be an indispensable part of it.

That is to say, Uzo is likely to win the bet tonight.

Therefore, Belmode thought, if he bet that Kogoro Moori would die, then Uzo might let Kogoro Moori live instead in order to confidently pull her to do the task—according to Uzo’s usual style, even if the script had already been written Let go, the strange woman outside is determined to kill Mori Kogoro, as long as Uzuo wants Mori Kogoro to live, he is completely suspicious, pulls the car door and gets out of the car, catches her mouth and kills the murderer happily .

……

Next to her, Jiang Xia smiled when she heard her choice.

He reached out and opened the storage box on Belmode's car, rummaged for a while, and found two cans of coffee.

He took out the drink can, handed a can to Belmode, opened the cup in his hand, raised his hand and touched her: "Then, I wish my mission a success."

"..."

Belmode opened the can and touched him, and took a sip of coffee.In a good mood, she thought that although she was doomed to lose the bet, she might have chosen the right one.
