Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1552 [Are you also Uzo's subordinate? ! 】

Okiya Subaru lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, he only felt that the "capable subordinate" in Uzo's words just now could be completely replaced by "the fun I want to see".

While he was waiting anxiously, the man in black on the opposite side gently pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and finally said:
"Don't take work too hard, learn to enjoy life and work-in general, in the next two years, there are only two things you have to do. One is to return to Tokyo, like you did a while ago. As you did, take shifts with Akai and continue to be an 'ordinary' peripheral member."

Okiya Subaru heard the name "Akai", and his heart skipped a beat: He didn't reply to the email sent by Akai Hideichi just now, and combined with the mysterious appearance of "Miss Misa", Mr. Akai must have discovered something wrong now, and is now Get out of the control of the organization and try to observe the situation secretly.

It stands to reason that such a vigilant FBI trump card cannot easily fall into the hands of the organization.

But now, Uzo used the word "shift", as if he was very sure that Shuichi Akai would become his subordinate.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Although when he was in the magic hall just now, he had already deeply experienced the horror of Uzo.

But thinking about how he used to get along with Shuichi Akai, the FBI ace... Thinking that Mr. Akai will eventually become Uzo's puppet, he still can't help but feel a creepy sense of dislocation.

In Okiya Subaru's concept before, these two people should actually be considered evenly matched.But now...

"As for the second thing you have to do."

Without leaving him much time to think wildly, Wu Zuo's voice suddenly sounded again: "You should have paid attention to the case Jiang Xia solved."

Okiya Subaru snapped back to his senses and nodded.

Jiang Xia looked at him with his puppet, and quietly added a little private stuff to the second task: "One of your tasks in the future is to approach that high school detective when you meet him, and lead him to everything A place where homicides can happen."

Okiya Subaru: "..."

Before, he always had a faint feeling that there were traces of Wu Zuo's secret manipulation in the cases that happened around Jiang Xia.

Looking at it now, it really wasn't some random coincidence—what happened to Shuichi Akai is understandable, after all, Mr. Akai and the organization have always been rivals.But this second task...why did Wu Zuo keep staring at Jiang Xia?Just because this high school detective was able to crack his script?

Thinking of Jiang Xia's rescued him several times by accident, Okiya Subaru's conscience ached a bit.

He hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but whispered: "Is that detective our enemy?"

But Wu Zuo just looked at him, showing a mysterious smile: "It's a long story, there is another hidden story behind this matter, it's important, I don't want to say it out loud. I can only say that everyone who knows knows it, and those who don't know it I don’t know if I heard it—you are a peripheral member, even if you know this, it’s useless, so don’t ask random questions.”

"?!"

It sounds like this is just a bunch of meaningless nonsense, but it fell into Okiya Subaru's ears like a thunderbolt, and his fingers trembled in shock—this passage was clearly the result of the noisy and chaotic venue just now. , Those words he said when he fooled Conan!
According to the level of noise around at that time, these words should only be known by him and Conan.

But now, not long after, these words have already reached Wu Zuo's ears... Could it be that the seemingly smart first grader is actually Wu Zuo's puppet? !

...He didn't even let a 7-year-old child go!

And Conan, at a young age, has already started to help the evildoers.It's no wonder that when Conan was paying attention to him before, he always had a dark sense of creepiness. Now it seems that that feeling is probably not an illusion, but that child triggered his body's danger alarm?
Okiya Subaru: "..." Thinking about it this way, the timing of Conan's mention of "stage" seems to be too coincidental.And after that conversation, I immediately saw that "Miss Meisha" in the corridor, as if Miss Meisha heard their conversation and rushed over...

Okiya Subaru looked down at the land of London under his feet, and suddenly thought of "Baker Street" located here, and then inevitably thought of the famous virtual detective, Sherlock Holmes.

——I heard that Sherlock Holmes has a "Baker Street Guerrilla", composed of street children on the street, who are responsible for helping him find out information, and to some extent, they are his very capable assistants.

So... Could it be that making children like Conan into puppets to be manipulated is actually just Uzo's bad taste to use against detectives?
Okiya Subaru: "..." I was so naive before, Uzo's minions were already all around, but I didn't realize it.

But Conan's appearance just now didn't seem like he was pretending.

And if you think about it carefully, Wu Zuo, who is so cautious, should never expose his true identity to a child with a strong chance.So thinking about it, maybe Conan really didn't know about the organization, but was inadvertently manipulated by Uzo.

For a moment, Okiya Subaru's heart was full of ups and downs, and he felt that every word of Uzo was enough to make his heart rate soar.He regretted his lack of preparation—before coming here, maybe he should get some first aid medicine or something and keep it with him.

Da da.

Uzo's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest twice, as if to remind him to think for too long.

Seeing Subaru Okiya come back to his senses, like a good boss who understands his subordinates, he asked gently: "It's very simple, can it be done?"

Okiya Subaru was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

Although I still feel very sorry for Jiang Xia, but when I think that there may already be more than one person like him around Jiang Xia, and now there is more than one him and one less, there is no way to stop Uzuo's unknown and terrible conspiracy. Pressing his conscience, he reluctantly agreed.

Okiya Subaru: "..." And compared to the misty future, people always pay more attention to the present time.

At the moment, he always felt that he and Mr. Akai were packing up and spinning around the gate of hell.

In comparison, although I don't know what earth-shattering conspiracy Wu Zuo will have in the future, at least for now, Jiang Xia's life has not been affected at all, but her career and mood are thriving.

And look at himself who was threatened by murder every so often, thought he was about to run away, but fell miserably before dawn... Okiya Subaru even had a strange feeling of envy.
