Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2500 2504 [Boss’s Failure]

"It's really too difficult for them to let the assassins outside deal with the Black Organization's cadres." Amuro Toru shook his head silently, "I thought the trap I gave as a gift would have some effect... What a pity."

Ireland was not injured, and he was even more courageous due to his anger. Realizing that this was not a good time to take advantage of the situation, Toru Amuro left quietly without showing up.

And after he left.

A figure looked around and stepped into the alley cautiously.

……

In an abandoned building.

Ireland emerged from the crisis and looked around warily.

After confirming that there were no subsequent attacks, he relaxed a little and looked down at Tachibana Maya.

"Why did you faint?"

Ireland kicked the woman lying on the ground, not satisfied with the current situation. He just wanted to make her lose her ability to move so that he could interrogate her more easily. However, in such a dangerous situation, he didn't have much room to hold back... and things turned out like this.

"Although there were some twists and turns, and we lost a guy, but overall, this result is worth today's busy work." Ireland frowned and thought to himself, "But there is a problem..."

How should this woman be dealt with?

"Even I have noticed her problem, Jiang Xia will definitely guess her true identity. If I take her away for interrogation now, and I and a killer disappear at the same time, Jiang Xia may make some common sense judgments - for example, I was murdered or kidnapped by the killer. In this way..."

A righteous detective would probably choose to call the police.

The disappearance of an adult for such a short period of time might not attract the attention of the police. But with Jiang Xia's prestige among the police, Ireland had no doubt that as long as Jiang Xia went to find the police, the police would mobilize a large number of people to look for him.

Thinking about the scene where everyone would have a copy of his portrait and the police were searching for the "missing Mr. Edward", Ireland, a member of the mysterious and low-key organization, felt a twitch in his eyes and a headache.

"Although I can call him to let him know I'm safe, but in this situation, will Jiang Xia really believe it? Either he will think that the kidnappers are coercing me, or he will suspect that there is something wrong with me. In the future, I will need to use Jiang Xia's trust to deal with Wu Zuo. If things really turn out like this, my plan will be in trouble."

"Although Vodka and Bourbon should be able to guess the truth, there is only one Jiang Xia. Those two guys will definitely want to fight for such a wonderful tool." Ireland is obviously aware of the solidity of the alliance. "They probably hope that Jiang Xia will become suspicious of me. It's good enough if they don't add fuel to the fire. I can't expect these two guys to help me explain."

After much thought, Ireland regretfully discovered that now did not seem to be a good time to interrogate.

He lowered his head again and looked at Maya Tachibana lying on the ground.

"If I tie her up and hide her nearby, her accomplices might come to rescue her, which is really unsafe." Ireland sighed, "I have to find a subordinate who can come immediately, who is strong enough and will not be ambushed by Maya Tachibana's accomplices. But my subordinates have been transferred elsewhere recently... Humph, does 'that lord' think that I will give up revenge like this? He is too naive - I must prove to him that I am not shooting in the dark, and there is definitely something wrong with these two guys, Gin and Uzo!"

Just as I was thinking with a little anger, suddenly, a set of footsteps came over.

Ireland looked up warily, and saw an unexpected figure.

"Hashimoto?" He looked at his confidant in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Maya Hashimoto walked into the gate with gritted teeth: "..." Because Uzo asked me to pick up the two fainted killers, and then ask them to help rob... buy the bar, and ask them if they have other companions.

But how could he say this?

"While working for my current boss, I ran into my former boss who regarded me as his mortal enemy. What kind of hell is this?" Hashimoto Maya's eyes went dark. "Could this also be a test from that evil... from Usa-sama?"

No matter what, solving the current dilemma is the most important thing. Otherwise, with Ireland's temper and ability to act, he may not have a future.

Hashimoto Maya looked around at this perfect spot for silencing someone, sweat dripping from her face. "Actually... it was Mr. Amuro who asked me to come here."

——Just think of it as Toru Amuro conveying Usa's order to him. After all, the landlord is most likely Usa's subordinate, so if you round it off, it doesn't count as a lie.

When Ireland heard his answer, he was slightly stunned and a little surprised, but he quickly reacted: he almost forgot that Hashimoto Maya was indeed working at the Amuro Detective Agency recently - this was part of the plan to get close to Jiang Xia.

"Did Bourbon see what happened here?" Ireland had a feeling that it was just as he expected. He muttered to himself, "No wonder I always felt a vague gaze around me. Before, I thought it was this woman's accomplice, but now it seems that it was probably Bourbon... Ha, he actually took the initiative to help me find subordinates. It seems that he is also looking forward to how much information about Uzo I can get from this woman."

Thinking of this, Ireland looked at his confidant who appeared in front of him at the right time, and suddenly felt that he liked him a lot: Thinking about it this way, Hashimoto Maya perfectly meets the conditions he just proposed, and is much more suitable than other subordinates.

...But there is one thing that is a little strange. Why didn't Bourbon send his own subordinates over, but instead gave the information to him?

Just as I was about to ask in detail, I suddenly heard a faint voice from the street outside. It was a high school detective who was looking for a missing person: "Mr. Edward? Are you around here?"

Ireland recognized the source of the voice and sighed inwardly: The detective has finally found me.

Time was urgent, and there was no time to talk more. Ireland pointed at Maya Tachibana on the ground and said, "I'll leave the person to you first."

Hashimoto Maya, who was ready to run away at any time, said: "..." Huh? What did you say?
He looked calm, but nodded with doubt in his heart, and went forward to pick the man up. Looking back, he saw that Ireland did not take the opportunity to attack, but turned around and walked out.

Hashimoto Maya looked confused: "......?"

Is this done?
Could it be that Uzo asked him to do this task not to send him to get beaten, but it was planned in advance?

"This is too smooth." Hashimoto Maya was still a little dazed until she left. "Although I have long felt that Mr. Ireland has little chance of winning, I never expected that he has been completely trapped by Uzo's script..."

As she thought about it, Hashimoto Maya suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, I obviously didn't come here alone, how come I'm the only one left when I entered the door?" A vein jumped in Hashimoto Maya's forehead, "Where did Izuka Saburo go!"
