Conan's Corpse Picker

Toru Amuro pressed his forehead calmly, trying to drive the bad memories out of his mind.

He was trying to find an excuse to go to the cooking class to see that "Okiya Subaru".

But at this time, in the passage next to it, two women suddenly passed by one after the other.

Among them, the woman in a suit and skirt chased after the man in a kimono, looking anxious:

"Teacher, I really think it's better to stop the performance—that threatening letter..."

"Shut up!" Okano Lixiang scolded her, "Do you know how long I've been preparing for this dinner party! A letter like a joke, just want me to stop acting? - tui! He thinks beautifully!"

When Conan heard the keyword "threat letter", the tips of his ears twitched, and he couldn't help but move closer to talk to him.

Before speaking, Conan had a flash of inspiration.He pointed back at Toru Amuro, and said to the two passing women: "If you are troubled by the threatening letter, you might as well seek help from a detective—that gentleman is the boss of the famous 'Amuro Detective Agency'! "

...Although there is no evidence, Conan always feels that there is something wrong with Toru Amuro.

Since we met here, why not find an excuse to keep him busy and not have time to do other things.

"Amuro Detective Agency?"

Okano Rika and her assistant were startled, followed Conan's pointing and looked at Toru Amuro.

Chapter 1047 Jiang Xia, be careful Uzuo

Toru Amuro: "..."

"Sorry, I still have things to do." He raised his hand to catch Jiang Xia, and skillfully pushed him forward, "You can ask him to investigate the case."

"Hmph, just a so-called 'threat letter' and you want to ask detectives for help. Do I look like the kind of woman who can't calm down?"

Okano Rika flicked her sleeves, and let out a disdainful snort from her nasal cavity.

After humming, she arrogantly glanced at the person who was pushed out by Amuro Toru, her eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and her tone gradually became less firm.

After a while, Okano Rika thought about it and said:

"However, anyway, there is still some time before the banquet starts, and you are idle if you are idle. If you want to help, I will reluctantly agree-after the matter is over, I can give you a set of autographs for you to take Show off to those around you."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

Conan: "..."

Toru Amuro was used to clients with all kinds of tempers, so he didn't have any special reaction to Okano Rika's attitude.

He whispered to Jiang Xia behind him: "If you meet someone suspicious, please contact me immediately. Also..." He sighed, "Be careful—there may be other cadres around tonight."

Jiang Xia was startled, nodded, and his expression became a little more serious.

His eyes swept across the hall, as if he was instinctively looking for that dangerous "other cadre".

Seeing that Jiang Xia raised his vigilance, Amuro felt relieved a lot.

He took the tray and wandered away quickly.

……

A few meters away, Conan turned his head, caught a glimpse of the scene just now, and originally wanted to get closer to eavesdrop.

However, in order to solicit customers, Conan ran to Okano Rika and the others.When he came back to his senses and wanted to come over, Toru Amuro had already left.

Conan: "..."

He had no choice but to walk to Jiang Xia's side, glanced at Toru Amuro's back, and asked slightly vigilantly: "What did he say just now?"...Sneaky, always feeling that the boss is planning something.

Jiang Xia came back to her senses, looked down at Conan, with a look of embarrassment that she really wanted to tell him, but couldn't say: "It's a confidential matter of the firm, it's related to the client."

"That's it..." Conan retreated unwillingly—although he was skeptical about the authenticity of the answer, but Jiang Xia said so, and if he asked again, he might not be able to ask anything.

I am debating whether to follow Toru Amuro secretly.

At this time, a voice from the side broke in.

"Well, hello."

Okano Rika's assistant - the woman in a suit and skirt came over.

She looked at the two high school students in front of her, especially the one elementary school student. Since she rarely had contact with such a young work partner, she seemed a little at a loss. It took a few seconds before she got back to work.

"I'm Ozaki Sui, Ms. Okano Rika's assistant." She bowed lightly to the three of them, then straightened up, and gestured to the corridor behind her, "—please follow me here. "

……

Of course, it is not good to discuss the threat letter in public.

Ozaki Tsui quickly led the three of them to catch up with Okano Rika who was walking ahead by herself.

A group of people came to an elegant lounge.

The lounge was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and Ozaki Tsui invited them to sit down at the coffee table and pour a few cups of tea.

After the etiquette was over, she carefully took out an envelope and put it in front of Jiang Xia.

"This is the threatening letter we received this morning. I don't know when it was thrown into the door of the office. I checked the surveillance and found no one..." She shook her head helplessly, "I have to trouble you."

Jiang Xia nodded, picked up the envelope and checked it briefly, then opened it to check.

There is only a piece of thick letter paper inside, the paper is of good quality, and the fingers can even feel the uneven texture on it.

The paper was folded in two.After unfolding, there is no written text on it, but it is collaged like a traditional kidnapping letter—the sender will cut out the individual words needed from various places and put together a letter like this:

【The flower of death will bloom at the party tonight】

The inscription in the lower right corner is not words, but a rose, which is so bright red that it seems that blood will ooze out at any time.

"Ozaki just loves making a fuss out of a molehill."

A few meters away, Okano Rika was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, holding a small brush to touch up her makeup.

Hearing several people discussing the threat letter, she leaned closer to the mirror, took a look at her perfect makeup, then turned her head, and said with a cheerful smile:

"If you want me to say, this must be a prank deliberately left by someone who is jealous of my achievements. If I affect my performance because of fear, that person will be very proud. If I am as cautious as Ozaki and terminate the performance directly, then he Just make a profit—oh, he had a good idea, but unfortunately, I won’t do this kind of loss-making business, so I don’t have time to waste on them!”

"Is this the avant-garde flower arrangement artist?" Conan whispered to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko, "I don't know if the flowers are not avant-garde. Compared with traditional artists, their temper is very avant-garde..."

"Flowers are also very avant-garde." Suzuki Sonoko also whispered to him across Jiang Xia:

"I haven't seen the actual scene, but I heard that her performance is like a powerful magician--the flowers that were closed last second, seem to be able to hear her orders, and they will suddenly appear at the moment the work is completed. Blooming, very beautiful."

Okano Rika has very pointed ears.

She looked at the few people who were whispering together, frowned and observed for a moment, then suddenly looked at Conan accurately, and asked suspiciously: "Little devil, what were you secretly talking about me just now?"

Conan: "?!"

The corner of his eye twitched, and he waved his hand, trying to fool him.

However, before he could think of an excuse, someone knocked on the door of the lounge suddenly.

Okano Rika was startled, and was about to respond impatiently.

But before she could speak, the person who knocked on the door had pushed down the handle, pushed the door open, and entered the room.

……

It was a burly man in a suit, with a flower on his chest like all the guests, walking like the wind.

As soon as Ozaki Tsui looked up and saw him, her face changed slightly.

She stood up abruptly, with a trace of respect in her movements: "Mr. Baimu."

Seeing the unfamiliar faces in the room, Daisuke Shiraki frowned, apparently very displeased with this behavior of bringing "outsiders" into the lounge.

However, after a while, his eyes swept over Suzuki Sonoko's dress skirt, and finally said nothing.

—Those were, after all, guests at a banquet.And as long as he bears the title of "guest", as the banquet organizer, Daisuke Shiraki must be more polite, which is the industry's default rule.

So he looked away again, pretending that he didn't see the three extra guys in the room, and turned to Ozaki Tsui.

Chapter 1048 Hurry up and find the bomb

President Shiraki asked Ozaki Tsui in a deep voice: "I heard that you received a boring threatening letter?"

Ozaki Trinity nodded: "...Yes."

Okano Lixiang laughed, and looked at Shiraki Daisuke: "Such a small matter has been reported to you, and you all take it too seriously-I have said it many times, but some people are jealous of my talent and Achievement, that’s why I sent that kind of thing.”

"Yes, I think so too."

President Shiraki nodded approvingly, and looked at Okano Rika: "You just need to be clear in your heart. Anyway, don't delay the banquet tonight because of this kind of boring thing-I worked so hard to invite so many celebrities , not to let you release their pigeons."

"Do you need to say that?" Okano Lixiang frowned, "This is a banquet held for me, and I will definitely let it go on as usual."

The two hit it off and quickly reached a consensus.

……

President Shiraki seemed to have something else to do. After confirming Okano Rika's attitude towards the banquet, he didn't stay long and left soon.

Ozaki Sui breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa.

When she looked up, she saw the three young people on the opposite side looking at the door. She introduced in a low voice:

"That is Mr. Daisuke Shiraki, who is Okano-sensei's patron and has always praised her avant-garde art."

"Praise? Hmph, he just thinks there are business opportunities here." Okano Rika kicked the stool under her feet, stood up, raised her middle finger towards the closed door, and cursed, "I thought I could buy it with a few filthy money." Art, that face is really disgusting - my flowers are not blooming for him, flowers should only bloom as they please."

While speaking, she stopped by the coffee table, turned her wrist, and suddenly there was a flower branch between her fingers.

The emerald green branches, connected with the buds that have not yet bloomed, were handed to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia was startled, and looked down at the flower. Conan and Suzuki Sonoko also looked over at the same time.

Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, the tightly closed flower buds suddenly bloomed, and the tender and bright petals stretched out one by one.

"Wow!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up.

A second later, I suddenly felt something was wrong: "...Huh?"

Okano Lixiang smiled at her, and reached out to pin the flower on Jiang Xia's collar: "It doesn't matter what the threat letter is, you can check it if you want, but don't cause trouble for me."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ozaki Tsui: "Go and prepare the things for the performance."

"...Okay!" Ozaki Cui came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up to follow her.
