Conan's Corpse Picker

And Jiang Xia is very busy most of the time: commissions, organizational tasks, part-time jobs pushed by the unscrupulous boss of the firm, and cases caused by the nature of the incident... If he is also the "unknown member"...

Hui Yuanai shook his head secretly.Jiang Xia would be too tired like that, and he would definitely not be able to manage the time.

……

Hearing Hui Yuanai's reminder, Jiang Xia glanced at the cat nestled on the chair.

The dry rice cat was stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition, it shuddered, rolled over, and tried to run with its ears pressed.

However it was too late.

Jiang Xia stretched out her hand, and before the cat slipped away, she took the ghost mint from its mouth and held it in her hand.

Then he smiled sadly at Huiyuan: "It's true that I shouldn't give it cigarettes. It's just that it was acting like a baby just now, so I knelt down and touched it. When I recovered, the cigarettes had already been snatched away..." He said He sighed, shook his head, showing a helpless look.

The cat hugged Jiang Xia's leg: "QAQ!!"

...Although the ghost mint is held in the hand of the psychic master, it can also be sucked.But the feelings of the two are different after all, and it is obvious that they are held in their own mouths and sucked more.

...Damn little girl!

Ganfanmao didn't dare to climb onto Jiang Xia's body to snatch Ghost Mint.I had no choice but to angrily step on Hui Yuanai's feet several times, and finally curled up into a ball sadly.

Then Hui Yuan hugged him and touched his head.

……

After Jiang Xia fed the cat and had breakfast, she didn't stay at home any longer.

He went to the office to sort out the mailbox, sent some cats to the wives, and then went to the Mihua Municipal Building, and finished what he planned to do but forgot last night - went to investigate the game of Thomas Syndora The terrain of the conference site.

By evening.

Jiang Xia checked the time and went home first to get the small gift she had prepared.

Then I came to the place where I made an appointment with vodka last night - the Kabado Baitian clubhouse.

The store manager here is a friend of Yoko Kinoshita.

Most of the people who come here are the presidents.On the contrary, there are not many artists, and they are not favored by reporters.Secrecy is not bad.

Jiang Xiayue's meeting place is at the back door of the clubhouse.

He arrived at the appointed place on time and waited for a while on the deserted street.

Not long.A black car approached silently and stopped on the side of the road.

Jiang Xia glanced into the car through the front window and found that it was Qin Jiu who was driving.

...He really came too.

Jiang Xia showed a gratified look.

The ghosts pounced on them familiarly, and began to gather the new murderous spirit that gushed out from Qin Jiu these days.

In the lively harvest scene, the co-pilot's door clicked open.

Vodka straightened his neckline and got out of the car with a natural expression on his face.

He is still in a black suit today.However, the burgundy shirt that he used to wear in the past has been replaced by a white that is closer to ordinary social animals.The tie was no longer black and replaced with sapphire blue stripes.The hat on the top of the head was taken off, and a human-like big back was combed.But the sunglasses on his face were still stubbornly worn, but he changed into a slightly more everyday style.

...only some details have been changed, but the overall feeling is that it suddenly becomes a "thug of the underworld forces" and becomes a "stronger social animal".

Jiang Xia looked him up and down.

Vodka raised his chin at first, trying to ignore Jiang Xia's eyes.

But after a few seconds, he gradually couldn't stand it any longer. With a straight face, his movements became a little stiff, and his whole person suddenly looked a little gloomy.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Xia stepped forward to pat vodka: "Don't make such an expression, just be more natural—you are now an enthusiastic assistant who 'worships Jiang Xia so much, and relies on his skills to come to experience the life of a detective'."

Vodka: "...?"

... Is this the persona set by Uzuo for him?

Oh, it's too long, I can't remember.

And it's so out of character - who wants to worship Uzo!There are also "worship", "enthusiasm", and "assistants"...everything sounds like it is paving the way for future "cannon fodder"!

Vodka was extremely vigilant.

He just nodded calmly on his face: "I know."

Vodka thought: Everyone is a cadre, and his qualifications are even older.Moreover, Wu Zuo's most terrifying behind-the-scenes attributes have been fully exposed in front of them. As long as he is vigilant enough and guards his heart, this guy is nothing to be afraid of.

Vodka silently recited the main points he had summed up all night in his heart, calmed down quickly, and raised his hand to push the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Jiang Xia smiled: "That's good."

He handed a half-sized box to Vodka: "This is your toolbox for detective assistants. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the contents later."

After the vodka took the box.

Jiang Xia took out another roll of posters and handed them over: "This is a very commemorative poster. I don't chase stars, so it's useless to keep it. Give it to you. It's a little thank you for your help."

"...I don't follow stars very often, but I just know a little bit about it." Vodka replied indifferently, and his eyes fell on the poster wrapped in a transparent material.

Chapter 872 Let's go

Seeing the appearance of the poster tube clearly, Vodka's eyes lit up.

——As a senior fan of the Lady Earth team, vodka can be recognized at a glance by only one curly side: This is the commemorative poster for the first anniversary of the Lady Earth team debut, and it is the rarest one on the market.Still signed out of print!

This set of posters came with the concert tickets at that time, and only the first [-] spectators who entered the venue could get them.With vodka being so busy, he regretfully missed that performance, and later received a high price for a long time, and no one was willing to transfer it.

"..." I didn't expect Wu Zuo to have this poster, and he was willing to share it...

Vodka looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously.I found that at this moment, the young man in front of me didn't have the usual "Uzo" aura at all - he really looked like someone who got help from a senior, so he brought a thank you gift to express his gratitude and respect, and he was easy to get along with younger generation.

Vodka: "..." I heard that Uzo and Miss Yoko have a good relationship. .And Miss Yoko was once a member of the "Earth Ladies Team".It's not surprising that Wu Zuo can get such a precious poster.And since he doesn't chase stars, today's gift may really be just a "meaningful" gift, without any deep intentions.

There is a war between heaven and man in vodka's heart, but after all, it is still no match for the mood of "want".

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the gin sitting in the car next to him, collected himself, and reached out to take it.

——The precious poster is in hand.

Vodka lowered his eyes to look at it, and really wanted to take it apart on the spot... Unfortunately, it is still working time.

He sighed regretfully in his heart, and was about to put this large-sized poster in the car first.

However, just as his hands flipped over the poster, his fingertips suddenly felt a tingling pain.

Vodka quickly withdrew his hand, and after a closer look, he saw a shining silver needle hidden in the middle of the poster where the beautiful ribbon was tied—it was this needle that pricked his hand just now!

"!"

In an instant, Vodka's mind flashed the faces of countless victims who died tragically from poisonous needles—especially the unlucky diplomat who made "Jiang Xia" officially have the name "Uzo".

Vodka stared at the poster in his hand, feeling as if he was holding a vicious snake.A biting chill ran from his fingertips all the way to his forehead.He grabbed his pierced wrist to block the flow of blood.

The poster in the plastic case fell to the ground with a clatter.

At the same time, Vodka staggered back to the car and asked for help: "Brother, there is a poisonous needle hidden on the poster!!"

Qin Jiu's eyes sharpened, and his eyes fell on his hands.

Then there was a slight pause: "..."

……

Jiang Xia looked at the vodka, and nodded inwardly: When faced with life-threatening, even if the opposite is "Uzo", the vodka will show a murderous look because of the survival instinct... The first article of the vanilla ice cream production guide has passed again The test of practice.

He sighed, stepped forward to pick up the poster tube on the ground, and gently patted off the thin dust on it.

Then he looked at the "silver needle" in the ribbon, and thought about it suspiciously.

After a while, Jiang Xia showed a clear expression.

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Xia took off the "needle" and stuffed the poster back into the vodka's arms, "This is not a poisonous needle. It was probably last Christmas. This roll of posters was placed under the Christmas tree and got mixed in. Silvered pine needles—"

Jiang Xia shook the "silver needle" in his hand, nimbly pinched an imprint on it, and comforted him: "This kind of hardness may not even pierce the cocoon you made by typing on the keyboard, so there is no need to think about poison."

"..." Vodka belatedly looked away from Jiang Xia, and glanced at his fingers.

Then I realized that just now, I did feel the tingling pain, but my skin was not pricked, and my fingers were intact... Probably some kind of psychological factors amplified his sense of "being stabbed".

Vodka's face turns pale and blue: "..."

On the opposite side, Jiang Xia shook his head lightly, and said in a very understanding way:

"After a busy life for a long time, it's easy to be overly vigilant like you, I understand. But in the future, don't be so nervous in front of me-you have to treat me as a companion who can be entrusted to your back. Only in this way can we let us Maximize the efficiency of doing tasks."

Vodka: "..." he~tui!

He suspected that there was no concept of "companion" in Wu Zuo's dictionary.

As for entrusting the back...the last idiot who put his back in the hands of Wu Zuo and trusted him wholeheartedly...

Vodka thought of the man in black, with a roll on his head, and a pair of sunglasses:

A ruthless man who could wrestle with Brother Gin, fell into Wu Zuo's hands within a few days, he was tormented, speechless and vomited blood. It is said that he could not live for more than two years... Although Wu Zuo pushed the blame to Burmese mines But the vodka didn't believe it at all-the Veritaserum that Uzo used to test the composition of the younger brother has not yet been officially used in the organization, which is enough to show that its side effects are surprisingly large.But judging from what Wu Zuo said at the time, it was as common for him to feed veritaserum to his loyal little brother as to feed canned food to a cat... Only a fool would dare to trust him with his back.

……

Even now, the young man on the opposite side has a sincere expression.

But in Vodka's eyes, the kinder Uzo behaved, the more hairs stood on end.

Suddenly being uttered such a sentence, Vodka was vigilant, and subconsciously glanced at the black car on the side of the road to suppress his shock - his reliable thigh was sitting in the car.

Then in the car, Gin answered the phone.

After a while, Gin put down his phone, nodded to the two people outside, and drove away—a gesture of asking vodka to help Jiang Xia.

Vodka: "...?"

...Brother? ? ?

……

Gin is still busy today.

The vodka was loaned out, and there were more chores to attend to.There is no time to continue wasting here.

And from the beginning, his purpose of coming here was just to observe Uzo's state: if it is still stable, let Vodka help.
