Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1531 1531 [Short-term balance between Uzo and detectives] Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)
"Very...filthy?"

Yoko Kinoshita originally planned to take the initiative to avoid the conversation between the detective and the client, lest Jiang Xia's confidentiality of the commission be affected by her - if there are rumors of leaks, the private detective's career may be affected.

However, at this moment, upon hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but hesitated again, looked at Jiang Xia, and sat down again.

"..."

Seeing that he couldn't distract her like this, the magician realized belatedly.

He immediately changed his words silkily: "Oh, it's not actually——I'm telling the truth, my commission involves some people in the entertainment industry. Jiang Xia and the others don't have much contact with this circle, and they don't hear anything. But if Talk about people you know for a while, and if you are next to me, I'm afraid it will be a little embarrassing."

"So that's the case." Yoko Kinoshita breathed a sigh of relief, her curiosity was not that strong, and her suspicions were not too serious. After hearing this new explanation, she felt relieved and left with that beautiful magic assistant.

After they left, the magician kicked out the rest of the group, leaving only Okiya Subaru.

Okiya Subaru: "...?" Why was he the only one left? Could it be that this magician is also some kind of accomplice?He didn't want to listen to this person's commission, not at all!

...But when I think about enduring the show, I can leave tomorrow. Before that, I don't want to offend the core of the group.Okiya Subaru took a silent breath, but finally endured it.

But soon, he realized that he was wrong.

——The magician drove away the rest of the group, and only let him stay, there is really a very necessary reason.

"Sit down." The magician gestured to the bench, and after Jiang Xia and the others took their seats, he sat opposite Jiang Xia.

Then he sighed and made a sad expression: "Actually, I specially invited detectives over today because I found that among our regiment members, someone actually wanted to kill me——I want you to help me find Out of that person."

Okiya Subaru felt powerless to do anything at this time: hide away, worried that what happened last night would happen again; just run away, and don't really want to give up that ray of dawn that is coming.

All kinds of thoughts were in a mess in his mind, and he simply stopped thinking about these bad things, and ran errands to fetch water on his own.

Jiang Xia took the juice he handed over, looked up at him, and nodded secretly in her heart: "..." It's almost enough to play, and Okiya Subaru's mental preparation should be enough, it's time to find a chance to let Wu Zuo came out and talked about the beauty of Tokyo with this little brother who yearns for freedom.

While thinking, he took a sip of the juice in the glass.

Then I was surprised to find that the juice here was freshly squeezed and specially seasoned. It tasted good, even better than those sold in professional stores. The quality of life of this magic group seemed to be quite guaranteed.

He simply raised his head and drank a few more sips.

Okiya Subaru came back to his senses, stared at the juice that had gone down a lot in the cup, hesitated to speak: "..."

According to his observations during this period, the relationship between these members of the magic troupe was a little weird that couldn't be explained clearly.

Eat and drink here, and you won't be afraid of being accidentally hurt... Is this the confidence of a detective?

Okiya Subaru: "..." Regarding this point, think about it, Jiang Xia is very talented in reasoning. When he encounters Uzo's script in the future, Uzo should not let "I was thirsty at the scene of the crime and wanted a drink." The funny script, Jiang Xia, a rare detective who can see through his reasoning at a glance, is sent to another world.

But thinking about it badly, if one day Jiang Xia notices traces of the organization's existence and Wu Zuo wants to silence him, then it doesn't seem too difficult.

It seems that after he ran away, he still had to remind Jiang Xia tactfully.Not only because he couldn't bear to see the detective who helped him die, but also because Wu Zuo had to do something to ignore the little difference of the younger brother...

……

On the opposite side, the magician originally wanted to make the situation more serious, so that Jiang Xia could realize the problem and try his best to help him avoid the danger that he didn't know existed.

However, after finishing speaking with a serious face, Jiang Xia didn't respond, but looked at the glass of juice with appreciation.

Magician: "..." An impolite young man.If this detective was not invited by Ms. Yoko, he would definitely drive this guy out and let him experience the beatings of Party A.

Too bad hypotheses are just hypotheses.

The magician imagined it freely in his mind, but in the end he could only inadvertently clear his throat vigorously to improve his sense of existence.

Jiang Xia was startled by him, and recovered as he wished.

It took a second to recall what the magician said just now, and Jiang Xia asked: "You are talking about the person who sent you the 'filthy threat letter', please show me the letter first, there will often be With a lot of important information."

The magician shook his head:

"Didn't you say it just now? It was just an excuse. I didn't actually receive the threatening letter. I just didn't want Miss Yoko to hear our conversation."

Dr. A Li was also drinking juice, and when he heard this, he choked up: "Then how do you know someone is going to kill you?"

The magician leaned back in his chair: "Although I didn't receive any explicit threatening letters, there were some dangerous accidents during the last two rehearsals.

"The mechanical equipment on the ceiling fell down and hit the place where I was. If I hadn't been agile, good at observing, and dodged in time, I might have been lying in the hospital by now, or even died."

"This kind of thing, only once can barely be regarded as an accident, but two consecutive times in a short period of time... Huh, my luck can't be that bad! Someone must be eyeing me."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Jiang Xia seriously.

Jiang Xia handed back the empty juice cup to Okiya Subaru, motioned him to have another cup, then folded his hands on his knees, and put on a serious expression like a magician: "When those accidents happened, near the mechanical switch anyone there."

The magician shook his head: "No matter how I search, I am the only one present."

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and then asked according to the procedure: "In the troupe, who has a problem with you?"

The magician sighed: "Besides me, there are 5 more important members of our group - the others have no contact with me, and they won't become enemies with me if they think about it. Just focus on investigating those 5 people."

Okiya Subaru, who was working on the juicer with his back to them: "...?"

...Are you sure the others are innocent?
... I have only been in contact with you for less than half a day, and I already want to beat you up.

Winter City Huanyang didn't notice the resentful aura coming from behind.

On the contrary, Conan looked around vigilantly, and finally his suspicious gaze fell over the back of the sofa and landed on Okiya Subaru.
