Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1130 1130 [Don't read Uzuo]

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Okiya Subaru apologized, and stretched out his hand to drag the coffee cup in front of Jiang Xia to himself: "This cup is mixed with water, give it to me."

Mao Lilan was taken aback, seeing that Jiang Xia was out of drinks, she hesitated to push her coffee over.

At this time, Conan also fell to the ground with an oops, and "unfortunately" knocked the cup of coffee to the ground—although Conan didn't quite know what happened, but he understood Okiya Subaru's reaction and realized that this mysterious Graduate student, seems to think there is something wrong with that cup of coffee.

The two cups of coffee left the high school students in an instant.

Eiji Katsumura, who tried to drive away the students who are afraid of hardship with bitter coffee: "..."

...Is your Mercury retrograde today?
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced at the coffee box behind the bar: just now, in order to make the coffee as bad as possible, he poured all the remaining coffee powder in the box.

Although the store should still have stock.But the proprietress was sloppy and her things were piled up in such a mess that Hideshi Katsumura couldn't find any other coffee powder for a while.

……

Okiya Subaru prayed for Akai Hideichi to come and save people quickly, while picking up the coffee he got from Jiang Xia, pretending to smell the aroma of coffee, but actually sniffing it secretly.

"……"Um?There is no bitter almond smell. Didn't Wu Zuo plan to have someone assassinate him?

...However, it cannot be ruled out that the store manager has injected other poisons.

After all, Okiya Subaru has been to this store before, and he ordered coffee a lot during that time.

And he remembered that the coffee he drank before tasted significantly different from this time - the acting store manager must have tampered with it.

……

next to.

Jiang Xia glanced at Subaru Okiya with slight doubts, always feeling that he just sprinkled water on purpose - I don't know what kind of big scene this little boy who is very distracted has imagined... Could it be that Subaru Okiya intuitively felt that "the store manager "Not a good person, so he started his delusion of being persecuted?

The coffee was not finished.

Jiang Xia opened the menu, thinking about whether to order something else or another cup of coffee.

But Okiya Subaru acted as if he was determined not to let him order, and started to chat: "Our laboratory is going to do a project about detectives recently - it's rare, why don't you tell me about your usual experience in solving crimes?" ?”

——I heard that detectives like to talk about this.It can not only sort out the thinking of solving the case, but also review the glorious history and enjoy the praise of others, which is more face-saving.And Okiya Subaru thought to himself: Jiang Xia has solved so many cases, chatting a little longer is enough to last until the acting store manager shows his feet.

……

"My experience in solving crimes?" Jiang Xia did not continue to order.

He raised his head from the menu and looked at Okiya Subaru thoughtfully: "What do you want to hear?"

Conan also secretly looked at Okiya Subaru, and felt that the problem was very big: a graduate student in engineering, what does he do as a detective?
That new topic can never be something like "how to save effort to build a burial ground".

Conan: "..." Speaking of which, engineering is not all about civil engineering.Okiya Subaru covered up so white that he didn't bask in the sun much at first glance, and he didn't seem to be developing into this industry.

If it was Conan himself, he might start asking questions at this time.

It's a pity that Okiya Subaru asked Jiang Xia.

"..." Conan glanced at Jiang Xia, realizing that this neighbor who was always nice to his acquaintances must have noticed Okiya Subaru's abnormality at this time, but I'm afraid he won't expose him—oh, it's too considerate. not good.Mostly unfriendly to the curiosity of onlookers...

The two actually chatted about past cases.

Conan listened intermittently, and while listening, relying on his status as a "bear kid", he dragged the coffee in front of Okiya Subaru to him in the chaos, and lowered his head to study.

—no bitter almonds, nor some other distinct poisonous smell.

However, this cup of coffee tastes too strong, and I don’t know how much coffee powder was thrown into it. Even if it was sprinkled with water by Okiya Subaru just now, the taste is still strong, not to mention the almost pure black color-these characteristics are enough to cover up the possibility of adding coffee. something in it.

Conan: "..." Is there something wrong with the coffee brought by the store manager?
But how did Okiya Subaru know?
Conan withdrew his gaze from looking at the coffee, and under the nervous gaze of the "store manager", he began to turn his eyes, looking at every hidden corner of the store.

……

Okiya Subaru actually wanted to find an excuse to take the high school students out of this dangerous shop.

But in the end, he still didn't move.

... It's not because Wu Zuo asked him to come to this store, but now that Wu Zuo didn't let him go, he didn't dare to move.

Just calm down and think rationally—"Wu Zuo wants to assassinate Jiang Xia and frighten my younger brother" is actually just a speculation, one of countless possibilities.

And for Uzuo, compared to "Okiya Subaru" who is only for entertainment, Jiang Xia's "unveiler" who can cooperate for a long time seems to be more important.Wu Zuo should not kill Jiang Xia just because "his little brother hugged Jiang Xia's thigh".Even if he really minded, I'm afraid Wu Zuo wanted to kill that innocent little brother.

Okiya Subaru: "..." In this case, if I want to run rashly.Maybe there is nothing wrong with it, but if you run, you will go straight to the underworld.

...Also, don't act rashly yet.

First try to pass the time.Wait to see if Akai Shuichi will come, or see if Uzo has any further instructions.Make plans later.

Just thinking about it in a cold sweat, at this moment, the wind chime at the door jingled.

——This coffee shop, which was originally deserted, has customers again.

……

This time, two middle-aged people came in.

Both of them were wearing suits, like social animals of a nearby company.One of them even brought a sketch, as if he was busy with work.

"I'm Yuu Ohara who made an appointment yesterday."

The older man nodded towards the "store manager".He seemed to prefer the bright place. After speaking, he led his companions to the table closest to the French windows and sat down.

Eiji Katsumura, who is strong in welcoming guests: "..." Why did things turn out like this...

……

Fortunately, the two new customers did not care about the situation in the store.

They were concentrating on their own business.

Aida Toru leaned back in his chair and yawned: "I heard that the company received a new order yesterday?"

"Well, it's a leaflet design, and I need it urgently." Ohara Yuu sighed, "The customer said that it will be distributed in the shopping street soon, and it must be produced within two days."

"Leaflets?" Aida Toru let out a sneer, "I accept this kind of orders that are not on the stage, and you have to design them yourself. You are really the worst president I have ever seen—but when I officially resign , You are about to officially become a polished commander, so it would be good to get used to it in advance."

Across the two tables, Okiya Subaru was startled, and silently pricked up his ears.

Resign?

...Is it the resignation he wanted? !
