Conan's Corpse Picker

Conan forked a piece of cake and raised his head proudly.

Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched: "..."

It is rare for Jiang Xia to agree with Hattori Heiji.He glanced at the gradually gloomy sky outside: "The weather forecast says it will rain."

——For outings, it’s no fun to go in the rain, and it will definitely be cancelled.

Mao Lilan thought that Jiang Xia was kindly reminding her, so she smiled and said in relief: "It's okay! You can hang the sunny dolls—the sunny dolls I made have always been very effective."

Jiang Xia: "..."...Indeed, except that Mao Lilan is always in danger, Oude has nothing to say at other times.

...But first of all, that sunny doll needs to be able to hang out.

He touched the cat on his lap, just like Hattori Heiji, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Beside, Yuan Shan and Ye Yi were startled, looking at Jiang Xia's lap in surprise: "Where did this cat come from?"

"……Um?"

Jiang Xia came back to her senses, stopped her hands, and was also taken aback.

"..." That's right, the dry rice cat is still looking for gin outside, so now, where did the cat come from?

He looked down and found a strange snow-white cat lying on his lap.

Seeing that he stopped touching, the cat meowed dissatisfied.But soon, it became interested in the things on the table again. It stepped on Jiang Xia's leg and stood up, with its front paws resting on the edge of the table, looking eagerly at the cake in front of Conan.

Jiang Xia: "..." Oh, he remembered.The cat seemed to have jumped onto his lap just now—because he usually hugged cats a lot, and just now he felt that there was a bunch of fluff on his leg, so he got used to touching it.

Just as he was thinking, a figure suddenly approached in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows next to him.

The people at the table were startled, and turned their heads to look quickly, and saw a rich foreign woman rushing to the window, and she was leaning against the window, shouting something excitedly.

After being watched by several people, the woman seemed to have regained her senses.

She turned around and rushed to the coffee shop, opened the door and ran into the shop in the blink of an eye, and picked up the snow-white cat: "Venus! My baby, it's great that you are fine!"

She speaks perfect English and is, like she looks, a purebred foreigner.

The woman cuddled and hugged the cat. After a while, she remembered something, turned to a group of students at the table, and said gratefully, "Thank you for helping me find it."

After finishing speaking, her eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and she was startled suddenly: "Oh! I saw your picture in the newspaper. They said that you are very good at finding cats. Now it seems that it is true. I haven't even had time Go entrust, and you will find my baby!"

Jiang Xia: "..." Actually, the cat came to me by itself...

The enthusiastic foreign rich woman seems to value this cat very much.

She thought of something, and sent a warm invitation: "As a reward for looking for cats, can I invite you to come to my house to play? My house is in the southwest of London, only a few 10 minutes' drive from Baker Street in Sherlock Holmes! ——You detectives You must like these."

Hattori Heiji muttered: "Actually, compared to Sherlock Holmes, I am more..."

"I like it!" Conan answered with bright eyes-although he has made many trips with Yu Kudo, especially the magical Hawaii, but he has never been to London.

What's more, it's so close to Baker Street... As a Sherlock Holmes fan, it's hard for Conan to resist this temptation.

The foreign wife smiled and said, "That's great. How about next week or the next week? I'll send you my itinerary when I go back, and let's find the most suitable time together!"

……

When several high school students were happily discussing travel plans.

On the other side, there was an adult who couldn't sleep, and was quietly touching his fbi thigh.

After Akai Hideichi confirmed that no one was following him, he went into his apartment at the request of the panicked Subaru Okiya.

After checking those cumbersome security agencies, Akai Hideichi found no physical hidden dangers, but felt that Okiya Subaru's mental state was really worrying—especially after going through a series of events today.

Akai Shuichi: "..." Sure enough, it is better to send the person away as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that an extra psychiatrist will be added to the protection program of Hedge Yasubaru.

In addition, after discovering the source of the other party's anxiety, Akai Shuichi decided to talk to him about running away, so as to stabilize Okiya Subaru's mentality.

"I will arrange for you to leave in ten days. Your false identity has already been prepared. Then you will simply put on a face and take the plane we arranged to go to England and live there for a period of time. After confirming that no one is following you, you will then fly to the United States. During this time, we will arrange special escorts."

Akai Shuichi said: "I remember that you are very good at English, and you can also speak a few languages ​​​​of other countries. It should not be difficult to live there-don't be nervous, just follow the process, and there will be no problem."

Their protection plan is generally to send the target to some towns in the United States that are convenient for Tibetans.

If the person you want to protect is already living in the United States, just go there directly.But Okiya Subaru is currently in Japan, and he may be being watched by Uzo. Considering various circumstances, if Okiya Subaru is allowed to fly directly to the United States, if this direction of running is noticed, the organization may immediately Because of "America", I think of Shuichi Akai, the FBI ace.

It is safer to find a place to transit.

When Okiya Subaru heard this, he really relaxed a lot: Britain is good, there are so many people that it is easy to hide.Even if he was accidentally discovered by Uzuo and could not understand the language, Uzuo should not be able to make countless murders a day as his one-time speaker.

……

After temporarily solving the life problem, Okiya Subaru relaxed a little.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered the incident that almost subverted his worldview, and his curiosity surged.

"Jiang Xia seems a little strange today." He hesitated, "In the case of the truck crashing into the coffee shop, we met Mr. Amuro who was driving the truck—the one who was unfortunately targeted by Uzuo. But Jiang Xia He didn't solve the case to help him get rid of the suspicion, and his attitude has always been perfunctory... It's almost like helping Uzo send people in."

Akai Shuichi was actually there at the time. Although he was far away, he also saw the truck that crashed into the coffee shop with the scope and his excellent eyesight.

He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and explained: "That's not helping Wu Zuo. If you have paid attention to the gossip related to Jiang Xia, you will find that there has always been a rumor - when Jiang Xia saw the scene related to the car accident , the mood will become unstable, especially it is easy to be distracted, which will lead to a decrease in the speed of solving the case."

After a pause, his expression was calm, but his voice seemed to become a little colder, and he thought, "Uzo did it on purpose."

"...Emotionally unstable?"

In Okiya Subaru's mind, the screaming prisoners in the attic gradually emerged.

1154 [Jiang Xia and his son's lifelong pursuit]

Okiya Subaru: "..." From this point of view, another question I had today has also been answered.

——It turned out that in the attic at that time, Jiang Xia was not beating people for fun, but was frightened by the truck that crashed into the coffee shop, so he didn't have the energy to suppress his hand that wanted to hit people.

"..." Although it still feels weird, Okiya Subaru thought: This is better than the possibility of "Jiang Xia is Uzo's accomplice".

……

Earlier, when Okiya Subaru met Uzo for the first time, he ran into Conan and others and Jiang Xia nearby.

Because of Wu Zuo and Jiang Xia, one wrote the script, and the other solved the case as quickly as if he was reading the script.After that, Okiya Subaru did check some Jiang Xia-related reports.

But at that time, all his energy was focused on the identity of the victim, trying to find the common ground between Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo.As for those gossips, Okiya Subaru really didn't pay attention.

"'It's not right when you encounter a scene related to a car accident', it sounds like some kind of ptsd." Okiya Subaru has also gone to several lectures of psychology professors before, and has a little understanding of these , "Jiang Xia had a serious car accident? No, he is very sensitive and has no sequelae at all. It doesn't seem like he has experienced a car accident of that degree... Was it because the people around him had a car accident?"

Akai Hideichi didn't speak, and was silent for a while as if he was distracted, and then lit the cigarette that he had just extinguished again.

His heavy expression was blurred in the drifting smoke, and he looked like a story of vicissitudes.

Okiya Subaru saw that the fbi's thigh suddenly fell into memory, so he had to take out his mobile phone to check it.

The all-pervasive media have indeed unearthed relevant news.Although those reports have disappeared recently, when Jiang Xia just started to solve the case, those reports still left a little trace on the Internet.

Okiya Subaru clicked to read a page, slightly startled.

"..." Jiang Xia committed suicide?And just over a year ago?

...It doesn't look like it, it's even completely opposite—I don't know why, Okiya Subaru recalled the details of his relationship with Jiang Xia, and always felt that no matter how difficult the case was, this young detective would exude a kind of love from the bottom of his heart. optimism.The overall mentality is very positive, and it can even calm the people around you.It can be said that among the people Okiya Subaru has come into contact with recently, he is quite a positive energy guy.

...except for being a bit of a hitter.

However, anyway, it was the insane gangsters who were beaten, and the hostages were not harmed, so the problem did not seem to be serious.

"Fortunately, Jiang Xia is not a member of the organization." Okiya Subaru put away his phone, remembered the speculation he made this afternoon to scare himself, smiled, and his tone became lighter, "Otherwise, I really can't believe that there are still people in the world. There are good men of justice."

"..."

When Akai Shuichi heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes became complicated silently: If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia seems to be a peripheral member of the organization.

... However, I haven't seen you in a few years.If things went smoothly according to the man's wishes, Jiang Xia should have been completely marginalized from the organization and slowly separated from the organization at this time.

……

Thinking about it, Akai Hideichi hesitated:

After getting along with Okiya Subaru for a period of time, he gradually discovered that this talented student was a little bit shy, but his intuition was terribly accurate, and he often couldn't even hide it from him.

But now, Okiya Subaru feels that Jiang Xia has a problem.

Of course, there are misunderstandings caused by poor information...but what if.

Akai Hideichi bit his cigarette butt, and fell into deep thought: Jiang Xia and others who have been downplaying themselves on the fringes of the organization should not stimulate Okiya Subaru's intuitive alarm.

Unless at the last moment, Jiang Xia gave up his desire to run away to realize the inheritance of father and son, and returned to the organization on his own initiative.

Akai Shuichi: "..." A person who hated organizations since he was a child suddenly turned back when he was about to run away. What could be the reason?

...Is it because Jiang Xia Longping died?

Akai Hideichi suddenly felt his conscience stabbed.

He sighed and thought, "...it's really hard to just sit back and watch."

Okiya Subaru was puzzled: "Huh?"

After a pause, he remembered the previous topic, misunderstood the meaning, and nodded: "It would be a pity if someone like Jiang Xia was framed by Uzuo."

Although the two of them were not talking about the same topic, Akai Hideichi hesitated for a moment, but nodded: after all, the meaning is almost the same.

However, Akai Shuichi thought again: It is too early to draw a conclusion.

Maybe it's just that Okiya Subaru is thinking too much - people who are too sensitive to radar sometimes do touch it by mistake.Just like in the organization before, when I just passed by Shirley in an ordinary way, Shirley would look over vigilantly, with vigilant eyes... Obviously he is just an undercover agent with little sense of organization.

Akai Shuichi: "..." Besides, speaking of intuition is accurate.Bourbon's instincts are clearly not weak either.

——Compared to Okiya Subaru, Toru Amuro's attitude towards Jiang Xia is not at all like treating a potential member of the organization, but more like treating Jiang Xia as a subordinate.

……

Akai Shuichi knows Toru Amuro better.

He remembered the undercover agent who died 4 years ago - Scotch whiskey, which seemed to be related to the Japanese police.

The relationship between Bourbon and Scotland is so good, and Bourbon is probably also a member of the police.And I heard that Scotland died of information leakage-he had a problem, but Bourbon is still there, which shows that Bourbon's secrecy within the police is likely to be higher than Scotland.

Akai Shuichi: "..." According to Bourbon's status in the Japanese police, it must not be difficult for him to access all the files related to "Uzo".

In this regard, it can even be said that Bourbon naturally restrains Uzo—after all, all homicide cases must be recorded, and Bourbon can even get in touch with those surviving murderers that ordinary people cannot touch, and then dig out and find out from them. Uzo-related clues.

On the other hand, Jiang Xia also grew up in Japan, which is also convenient for verification.

Since Bourbon is willing to have long-term contact with Jiang Xia, he has obviously verified it and feels that Jiang Xia is safe.
