Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2516-2520 [Suddenly Killing Intention]

The parking lot in the yard.

Curacao had a flawless black short hair, pushed up his plain glasses on the bridge of his nose, and adjusted his smart suit.

With one last glance at the makeup mirror on the sun visor, she nodded slightly at her flawless lawyer attire, pushed the door and got out of the car.

As soon as he stood firm, he saw a middle-aged lady in kimono coming out of the house. Curacao closed the car door with his backhand and gave her a professional smile.

The things the higher-ups want are always strange and bizarre. For example, Rum has his eyes on a set of black-glazed antique tea sets collected by this family - he heard that the person he wants to win over has this hobby, so Rum plans to use this as an excuse to please the person.

This was not a big deal. After Curacao found out the family's financial situation, he allocated enough funds and sent a young man to make the purchase. However, unexpectedly, the head of the Ogata family refused to help.

It seemed risky to rob something that was used as a gift. After thinking about it, Curacao used his lawyer identity and developed a complete plan.

Now is the time to close this plan.

As she thought about it, she shook hands with Mrs. Ogata: "Hello, I am the lawyer hired by Mr. Ogata during his lifetime, Shirai Akiko, you can call me..."

"Ms. Jingzi!"

A delighted female voice suddenly came from behind the door, interrupting Curacao's self-introduction.

"?" It took Curacao 0.5 seconds to recognize the voice, and another 0.5 seconds to look up in disbelief.

When she looked over Mrs. Ogata's shoulder and saw the face of the person who spoke, her heart skipped a beat and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

...Mauri Lan?

Why is this girl here?
Of course, a mere high school girl is not worthy of the attention of the organization cadres. But the problem is that behind this girl...

"Hmm? Miss Lawyer?"

Sure enough, another voice came from the door, the voice was gentle and friendly. However, the moment this voice entered his ears, Curacao's eyes jumped violently.

For a second or two, she wanted to let go of Mrs. Ogata's hand, step back into the car, and then step on the accelerator to leave Tokyo.

...But unfortunately, no matter her identity as a lawyer, her plan, or her pride as a senior... Curacao could only take a deep breath, smile, and stay here.

"Ms. Xiaolan? Jiang Xia." Curacao greeted them with some surprise, "Long time no see."

"And me, and me!" Suzuki Sonoko also waved to the lawyer who had been with her for a while, "What a coincidence, it seems we are destined to meet."

Curacao: "..." As expected, he was a disgusting guy who had been tainted by Uzo. His first words just after they met hit her sore spot...

By the way, what are this small group of high school students doing here all of a sudden?
"The timing is too coincidental. It's as if they were setting an ambush for me here." Curacao couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories in his mind. "Did someone expose my mission?"

The first person she thought of was her colleague Bourbon who was deceived by Uzo, but then she realized that Bourbon didn't know her whereabouts at all.

"Could it be Rum? But there is no reason for Rum to do this... Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Curacao suspected his boss in his heart, while being forced to greet an "acquaintance" he had met a few times. In the end, he entered the Ogata family with everyone in a painful mood.

After the high school students looked away from her, Curacao quietly reached into her pocket and began to write an email to Rum:

[Uzo appeared in the target's home. The situation has changed. I will temporarily retreat. I may not be able to give you the tea set until later.]
——She would find an excuse to slip away later, and then wait until Wu Zuo left... No, even if Wu Zuo's men left, his traps would definitely still be there, so she should find a subordinate to come instead of her.

As I was muttering to myself, suddenly, my cell phone buzzed - Rum, who had a quick temper, had replied to my message.

Curacao glanced at the people in front of her, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she opened her inbox and took a look.

Then his eyes paused.

The message her boss sent back to her was:
[Uzo is here too? What a coincidence.]

Instead of retreating, you might as well stay and talk to him more, or ask him to provide some help with your mission - get along well with him, maybe you will be colleagues in the future. ]
Curacao: “…#”

She unconsciously clenched her fingertips and squeezed the phone so hard that it almost made a creaking sound: ... Rum is still trying to win over Uzo. How does this guy maintain such optimism and confidence? Doesn't the arm that was injured in the explosion last time hurt anymore? ?
She took a deep breath and slowly suppressed the anger that was rising in her heart.

……

Anyway, we're here now. Even if we retreat hastily, there's no guarantee that there won't be other traps on the way. Plus Rum's attitude... Rather than getting entangled like this, it's better to bite the bullet and finish this mission, and then get away from here immediately.

"If you think about it, Uzo isn't that scary. Even though I've been tricked by him a few times before, my reaction now is really a bit extreme."

Curacao comforted himself in his heart while trying his best to reduce his presence: "Calm down and don't be affected by him. Just treat him as an ordinary dangerous person and be more cautious."

She closed her eyes and pinched her forehead. When she calmed down and opened her eyes again, there was suddenly someone next to her.

The high school student detective who was standing nearby looked concerned and said, "You don't look well. Can I help you sit over there?"

Curacao's fingers trembled: "..."

How come this person walks without making any sound?! ...I'm fine! It would be better if you stay away from me!

Jiang Xia didn't seem to notice her disdain. He glanced forward and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he casually chatted with his colleague next to him: "My assistant Mr. Yamada has been seeing a psychiatrist recently. His doctor's last name is also Shirai. It seems that you two are quite compatible. Do you want to get to know each other?"

Curacao's face was numb: "..." I don't want to hear the word "fate" anymore. If possible, let alone the doctor, I don't even want to know you.

Jiang Xia didn't mind the aloof colleague who didn't seem to have any intention of communicating. He picked up a few handfuls of aloe vera and followed Mrs. Ogata into the living room in a good mood.

……

"Miss Lawyer" is here today to announce the will.

But the time has not come yet, so Mrs. Ogata is more focused on something else than Curacao.

"By the way, Miss Haruna." Mrs. Ogata looked at Yuuki Haruna, "Did you bring the music box that my father-in-law left for you?"
