Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1139 1139 [Bourbon Uzo and Jiang Xia] (Monthly ticket plus update)

Although Okiya Subaru said "I don't want to hear it anymore" and "I want to go" written all over his body, he didn't dare to leave Uzo's cat and went straight to the apartment, so he had to endure the humiliation and stopped running away.

"That..." It's not good to personally propose to leave, Okiya Subaru can only look expectantly at the two high school students, "What are your plans next?"

——Tell me that you are still very busy and have things to do!
"I originally planned to play with two Osaka friends, but they haven't answered the phone, so we plan to find out where they are first." After Mao Lilan finished speaking, she was slightly startled when she saw the expectation in Okiya Subaru's eyes, and invited Said, "How about together? It's more fun to play with more people."

Jiang Xia had no intention of objecting either.

"..."

Okiya Subaru felt the sharp cat's claws on his calf, forced a smile, and accepted the high school student's invitation: "...haha, okay."

Failed to run.

Okiya Subaru regretted that he had lost his mind just now and failed to walk as decisively as Amuro Toru; at the same time, he could only quickly organize his mentality and try to look forward.

Speaking of which, there is one thing he cares about...

"I haven't answered the phone, that is to say, your two friends from Osaka are missing?"

Okiya Subaru always felt that this state was very familiar - he also had a friend who made an appointment to come and play with him before, but lost contact halfway.When we meet again later, the friend is already in the bureau.

Afterwards, I heard from the police that the friend wanted Okiya Subaru to serve as an alibi, but met a detective on the way, and unfortunately overturned the car... In short, in Okiya Subaru’s view, "lost contact" is infinitely similar to "something happened". .

He straightened his glasses, and asked naturally: "Speaking of which, the cases we encountered today are all related to 'resignation'. Your friend, it's not like something similar has happened in the near future—for example, you want to transfer to another school." Come to Tokyo or something."

Mao Lilan was stunned, smiled and waved his hands: "How is it possible, they are all natives of Osaka, and they are only high school students, they will not suddenly transfer schools without reason at this time, they just come here to play."

"Is that so?" Okiya Subaru was a little surprised.Since it has nothing to do with the keyword "resignation".Why did Wu Zuo let himself continue to follow this group of people?Or, Uzo didn't actually mean that, and the cat made his own claim?

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia next to him seemed to think of something suddenly, and chatted with Mao Lilan: "Speaking of resignation, the 'Detective Kusugawa' Hattori is looking for seems to have resigned from the police and changed his career to become a detective—what a coincidence. "

Okiya Subaru: "...?" In this case, your friend's friend is probably dead now... Maybe your friend was also implicated.

While thinking, he observed Jiang Xia quietly, trying to see something from Jiang Xia's reaction.But no gain at all.

——Jiang Xia seems to have just made an ordinary association based on the key words he heard just now.And this is undoubtedly an extremely normal thing for a high school student detective. ...

Before he could see anything, a middle-aged man ran down the slope ahead.

"You are Jiang Xia, right?"

The middle-aged man ran up to them, looked around them curiously, and his eyes quickly fell on Jiang Xia.

He enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Jiang Xia: "I am Noda from Kuwado Detective Agency, I heard that you were looking for me just now?"

As he said that, Noda recalled all the reports he had seen before, and couldn't help but pat Jiang Xia's shoulder familiarly, as if recruiting talents: "If you still want to be a detective after graduation, you are welcome to come to me at any time! ——We The firm can also be ranked first in the country.”

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, compared the crime rates of Mihua Town and Kuboto Town, and politely refused: "I already have an office."

"Haha, you haven't graduated yet, that's just a part-time job. Even if it's a full-time job, you can change jobs." Detective Noda felt that the problem was not a big deal, and said enthusiastically, "Young people should not be too rigid in their thinking. Now that society is developing rapidly, new jobs are becoming more and more important." More and more..."

Halfway through, the detective's intuition made him suddenly alert.

Turn around sharply.Next to him, the elegant-looking young man was staring at him quietly—Okiya Subaru's lens reflected a faint light, and his eyes were complicated, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Detective Noda: "...?"

After all, it was blocked by the lens, he suspected it was his own illusion, and blinked vigorously.

When I took a closer look, I saw that Okiya Subaru had already looked away.What happened just now was like an illusion.

Detective Noda: "..." Maybe I made a mistake?
After all, he was still a little concerned, and Noda wanted to find out who Okiya Subaru was.But before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xia seemed a little moved after hearing his words: "It makes sense. Let me think about it... Shall I change my business card?"

As he said that, he changed hands and took out the business card. The movements were skillful, and he usually handed out to people a lot.

Noda Hong immediately forgot the strange feeling of peeping just now, and cheerfully took out his business card, and exchanged it with Jiang Xia.

……

Jiang Xia got it in her hand, glanced at the beautiful coat of arms of "Cupato Detective Agency" on it, thoughtful.

"..." I almost forgot that there is such a thing as a "store logo". Shouldn't "Amuro Detective Agency" also design one?The image of Reaper carrying a scythe is very good-it is dark and mysterious, which just fits its only two members of the organization.And the imagery is also very auspicious...

After briefly thinking about designing the store logo, Jiang Xia carefully put away the business card—he was indeed interested in this detective den in Cuphu.

And let alone graduation, it is still far away from being promoted to the third grade.It's better to agree first, and come to Cuphu to do some part-time tasks when you are free, and get to know more customers with stories by the way.

Next to him, Subaru Okiya watched the interaction between Jiang Xia and Detective Noda, and for the first time showed a genuinely shocked expression.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Is Jiang Xia going to resign? !Is it his turn this time?Speaking of which, Jiang Xia stepped on Wu Zuo's minefield so accurately... Could it be that he was thinking too much, wasn't Jiang Xia partnering with Wu Zuo to harm Toru Amuro just now, but did not solve the case immediately because of other reasons?
The situation is too complicated. The possible identities of Uzo, Toru Amuro, and Jiang Xia, as well as the possible connections between them, are intertwined like a mess, making Okiya Subaru's head bigger than when he wrote the thesis. It's even more difficult - after all, if you don't write a thesis well, you won't die, but if you don't solve the relationship well, you may be killed quietly one day.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Let's discuss it with the FBI when we go back—Mr. Akai looks like he has been in the organization for a long time and has a lot of experience. Maybe he knows what's going on.

Okiya Subaru walked wearily, numbly following behind the energetic high school students and detectives, like a humanoid self-propelled brain computer that was about to run out of battery.
