Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 354 The bait to catch Shirley (joint chapter)
After Vodka made the proposal, he took a peek at Gin and found that Gin didn't answer. He didn't seem to be very interested in this proposal, so he sighed inwardly.

But he quickly thought, since the eldest brother didn't directly leave a comment like "stupid", it means that this plan has not been directly rejected... There is a play, maybe there is a play!

Even if their firearms are often sent for maintenance, the probability of misfire is very low, but this can at least add a block to Uzo - no one likes to be taken hostage suddenly, let alone Uzo who is disobedient In the second year of middle school, if Qinjiu decides to carry out this plan, Wu Zuo refuses him...

Hey hey hey.

Thinking of Uzo's rating in the elder brother's heart that was about to plummet, Vodka was in a great mood.

……

Vodka is a good mind reader.

On the way back to Kabadocho, Gin was really thinking about and refining his proposal.

From Gin's point of view, vodka is sometimes surprisingly stupid, but occasionally, when the inspiration flashes, it can also come up with a plan with reference value.

Gin recalls Uzuo's usual indifferent attitude towards the Miyano sisters, and feels that he will definitely cooperate with his own plan.

However, having a hostage means having a corresponding villain.

But now, apart from Uzo, the only members at the memorial service are Pisk, and Pisk has other important tasks.

If you temporarily transfer a few members over there, with the morality of the subordinates who lose the chain every day, once their guns go off, they will kill Wu Zuo in a fake show... Tsk, it is better to wait for him and vodka to arrive, and then carry out this kind of plan cautiously Bar.

Gin Jiu estimated the road conditions and realized that there was still some time before arriving at the scene.

So he thought about it and edited an email to Jiang Xia:
[Shirley may be present.If she tries to make contact with you, take her to me if you can, and you should be able to recognize her.If the situation is inconvenient, kill on the spot]
Just as he was about to send out the beating, Gin's fingers suddenly paused and stopped again.

After a few seconds, he deleted the typed words and address, and entered Pisk's email address in the recipient field instead.

... Uzo has always been very active when dealing with certain killing missions, and this time the mission content can just include "killing Shirley".

That is to say, even if he asks Uzuo to wait quietly for Shirley to contact him, he will most likely not listen to the advice and instead take the initiative to attack, just like before when he had nothing to do and ran to harm passers-by...

And if Shirley wanted to get in touch with Uzuo, she would definitely observe carefully in advance. If Uzuo happened to be looking for her at that time, and she felt that something was wrong, she would startle the snake instead.After all, it is true that Shirley is kind and meddling, and it is also true that she is timid and careful, and she may be scared away at the slightest sign of trouble.

So this task of observation should be handed over to Pisk.

For onlookers, some places may be in Uzo's blind spot, but Pisk can see them from the side, and it won't attract too much attention.This kind of additional task of only observing with eyes will not have too much impact on Pisk's original task.

With that in mind, Gin sent Pisk an email:
[There is a high school detective surnamed Jiang Xia at the memorial venue, Shirley may try to contact him, or hide nearby to observe him.You can use this to find Shirley.

After you find her, send me the detailed location, and if she has made a disguise, send her her current characteristics. ]... Then he forwarded it to Uzuo, asking Uzuo to catch people before Shirley could react.In this way, each of the two bottles of wine in the venue has its own production, and the division of labor is clear without delaying each other.

Although this email may lead to Pisk discovering Uzo's identity.

But the secrecy of the identity of "Uzo" is not a rigid rule, but a suggestion to prevent pig teammates from dragging their feet, which comes from Gin's rich experience.

Now that the incident happened suddenly, compared to the "secrecy" stipulated in private, of course catching Shirley was a priority.

Besides, Pisk is an old man of the organization, with a strict mouth, so it doesn't matter if he finds out.What's more, he may not be able to find that Uzo really looks like a good person...

……

Cupido City Hotel.

In the banquet hall, Pisk was talking in a low voice with the chairman of the foreign trade agency.

Halfway through the conversation, I suddenly felt the phone vibrate in my pocket.

He ended the conversation calmly and walked to the side to check his phone.

The contents of the mailbox startled him a little.High school detective?

Pisk quickly thought of the young man who was walking around and handing out business cards just now.

He glanced at Jiang Xia from the corner of his eye, there was a little doubt in his old eyes, was this detective colluding with Xue Li secretly?Why did Shirley contact him?
Speaking of which, the age difference between the two is not too much.The members of the organization who defected and the detectives who are righteous have opposite positions...

These two characteristics reminded Pisk of a novel I accidentally read from Vodka before: some male high school student went out to pick up a beautiful villain from the sky, and then the two began to live together and live together. of.

... This kind of thing actually happens in reality?

The 71-year-old Pisk took a sip of his wine, shaking his head and cursing inwardly, a shameless young man dares to pick up anything.

Having said that, since Jiang Xia has contact with Xue Li, she must not let it go easily.

Qin Jiu was so negligent that he forgot to deal with this person... Did he get too excited after finally catching Shirley who escaped, or did he hand over the task of dealing with Jiang Xia to other members?Piscoe remembered Gin saying that someone in the field would respond accordingly.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be safe to ask one more question about such a crucial question.

Piscoe replied: [what the detectives do]
After half a minute, a new email from Gin entered the mailbox:

[Don't provoke him, you just need to pay more attention to Shirley]
Pisk: "...?"

The word "provoke" always feels a little subtle.It's as if in the eyes of Qin Jiu, compared with that hairless high school student, he, a senior member of the organization, is the weaker side... Is this detective really that powerful?

……

Jiang Xia was still sizing Pisk up and down, admiring the murderous look on him.

But soon, he noticed that Pisk was watching him in reverse—after checking his phone once.

So Jiang Xia didn't look over there, feeling a little puzzled.

Pisker shouldn't have suddenly noticed him as an ordinary detective—even when he received the business card just now, he had a vague dislike for the detective and didn't want to look at him more, but now he suddenly changed his attitude... What message did SK receive?
Just thinking about it, the mermaid who was playing murderous beside Pisk swam back to Jiang Xia, poked him, and secretly told Jiang Xia the content of the email she had just peeped at.

Jiang Xia thought about it.

Catch Shirley?
Hui Yuanai sneaked into the venue?
Jiang Xia was a little pleasantly surprised for a moment—a timid person like Hui Yuan Ai has come over, can Conan be far behind?

Blind box is expected.

Speaking of which, Haibara Ai was present, but Miyano Akemi didn't notice it just now, she was still concentrating on Pisk's murderous aura... The ability to sense the younger sister is much lower than the level of the ability to sense the murderous aura.Jiang Xia secretly condemned the insufficient sisterhood.

After reprimanding, he let Wu Tiangou fly a little higher, looking for any children who sneaked in in the arena.

It didn't take long for him to use Wu Tiangou's perspective to see the two dead children on the other side of the crowd.

Although I don't know what happened, but judging from the presence of the two of them and the fact that Gin knew Shirley would be there, things probably developed as in the original worldline...

Even if Hui Yuanai stays at home every day, she will still run to the scene at such a critical moment. This is actually a path that Jiang Xia never imagined.

But speaking from the conscience, for him, this kind of scene is actually very good.

——Gin Jiu heard that Shirley was there, so he must be full of murderous looks at this moment.When he arrived with a gun and rushed in the cold wind and snow, he found that Xue Li had run away, and his murderous intent would probably increase dramatically... Jiang Xia thought about it, and couldn't help but touch the ghost mint in his pocket.

This would indeed increase the killing intent, but since the plan had changed, he had to make some other preparations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia found a dimly lit corner and leaned against the wall.

The shikigami and ghosts squirmed through the wall, and in the deserted corridor, they piled up and became slender puppets.

After 1 minute, Anonymous adjusted the hem of his skirt, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked away quickly.

……

Jiang Xia hung up for a while.

After everything was dealt with, his consciousness returned to his main body, and when he looked at the hall again, he saw the door of the banquet hall opened again, and several policemen walked into the hall silently and mixed into the crowd.

Ten minutes ago, the Megure Police Department received a call from Kudo Shinichi.

Brother Kudo told him that someone wanted to assassinate Councilor Tunkou at the memorial service—the first time Gin called Pisk, he hadn’t discovered the existence of the bug. His words revealed some information, and it was through this that Conan , deduced the assassination target of the organization.

……

Jiang Xia observed silently.

Then before the police saw him, he picked up the wine glass at hand, took two quick and silent sips of wine, and secretly sprinkled some on his clothes to make himself smell of wine.

——With the ability of the Mumu police department to randomly capture the tools to solve the crime, sooner or later he will find that Jiang Xia is on the scene, and then he will come over and ask, "What do you think?".

If Jiang Xia does not solve the case for a long time and does not provide any clues, it will appear a little abnormal.

But if the case is solved... how can I say that Pisk is also a veteran member, he can be silenced by the organization because of mistakes, but he should not die to pave the way for new members to make achievements.Since the salary and murderous intent of the organization are mixed, there is still a little superficial sympathy.

So I had to find an excuse not to solve the case.

There are no car accidents, no explosions, and no fires here, which does not meet the false "weakening buff" that Jiang Xia released before.

But okay, there's wine here.

... just pretend to be drunk.

……

Unsurprisingly, after the Mumu Police Department assigned the inspection area to the subordinates who sneaked into the venue, they turned around and took two steps when their eyes fell on Jiang Xia.

A little surprise appeared on his face, and he moved his slightly bulky body through the crowd and walked towards Jiang Xia.

The place where Jiang Xia stands is very inconspicuous, but fortunately there are occasional glamorous Mrs. Fu who will glance at him around him. The Mumu Police Department instinctively feels that there may be problems with people who have been noticed by several people. They did not expect to follow their path With a glance, he found Jiang Xia.

…With Jiang Xia around, after explaining the situation to him, with his power of observation, he might be able to find out the potential criminal soon.

When Mu Mu approached the police department, he found that Jiang Xia was staring at the table, as if he was distracted.

It wasn't until he leaned over and patted his shoulder that Jiang Xia raised his head belatedly.

"Police?" Jiang Xia was startled when he saw the person coming, and then asked in a low voice with a little surprise, "Are you here to attend the memorial service too? Don't you need to work overtime today?"

"..." Mumu Police Department was suddenly mentioned about the sad matter of working overtime, and paused for a second sadly.

After recovering, he was about to explain, but suddenly he said "Huh?", feeling that something was wrong: "Why do you smell like alcohol? You are not old enough to drink, right?"

Jiang Xia paused indistinctly.

After a while, he slowly put the wine glass on the table behind him, moved his feet to block it, and tried to cover it up by explaining: "I didn't know it was wine just now."

Megure Police Department: "..."

It seems that not only drinking illegally, but also drinking a lot.Lying is so untechnical, no wonder when he came here just now, he felt that Jiang Xia's reaction was slower than usual, and he didn't even notice that someone was approaching.

Can this state still solve the case... The Mumu police department is in a tangle, hesitating between telling Jiang Xia the details of the case, and giving him an ideological education first.

Before he could come to a conclusion, the host's voice came from the other end of the hall: "... Next, we will show the slides that director Jiumaki collected during his lifetime. Please enjoy—"

As soon as the voice fell, the staff who had been prepared for a long time turned off the switch.

The lights went out suddenly.

The hall was plunged into darkness, except for a glimmer of light from the slide projector at the front of the banquet hall.The light that does not exist for the purpose of lighting failed to penetrate the banquet hall, and most of the places were in darkness invisible to human eyes.

Under the round table in the banquet hall, as Jiang Xia's consciousness possessed him, the unknown puppet who had been on standby for a while opened his eyes, lifted the tablecloth, and came out soundlessly.

The puppet has inherited the night vision ability of the ghost fetus, and can see the surroundings clearly even in the dark.

It was holding the hem of the skirt, its eyes moved slightly, and its eyes quickly fell on several cameras - long before the lights were turned off, Jiang Xia had already stared at a few cameras that were convenient to "borrow".

However, perhaps because of the arrival of Conan and Haibara, things went much smoother than Jiang Xia expected.

——Before Anonymous picked a lucky reporter to borrow the camera, I saw a couple of men and women embracing each other in the dark and kissing passionately a little ahead.

Next to them, a witty reporter heard something wrong, moved the tip of his ear, and raised his camera.

At this time, Councilor Tunkou had followed the instructions in a daze and arrived under the chandelier.

And in the background of the two cheaters, Pisk raises the suppressed gun at the chandelier.
