Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 380 Jiang Xia: The Man in Black?Don't Know (Joint Chapter)
Okaya Noriko did see the news about the car accident and falling off the cliff.

To be precise, since the car accident that killed her fiancé a few months ago, she has been paying close attention to similar news—Noriko Okaya also feels that Kitagawa Qiangshi’s death is hard to change, and it is very likely that I can't help but create similar accidents again, so as long as I pay more attention to this kind of news, maybe I can find Kitagawa Qiang who caused trouble again.

Seeing Kitagawa Takeshi appearing on the news now, Noriko Okaya is not surprised.

The only unexpected thing was that it was Kitagawa's body that made the news.

This is really...

Fantastic.

Okaya Noriko wept with joy, cried and became sad again, and cried all day in a cycle like this.Her murderous aura also naturally dropped during this process.

Wu Tiangou stood in front of the window, watched her weeping, and clasped his hands together in pity, thinking that there should be something like Amitabha here.

However, before he could open his mouth, he was slapped into the window by the tail of the mermaid who followed.

Then the mermaid also went through the glass, commanding Wu Tiangou and her to lift up the mass of murderous aura that seemed huge to them, and moved out of the window again.

……

The days that followed have been very peaceful.

Thinking of the upcoming business trip, Jiang Xia went to prepare some things for the trip.

A week later, he arrived at the station at the appointed time.

That's right, the station.

This time, Gin plans to take public transportation instead of driving.

One of the reasons is that his car, which was damaged by Kitagawa Qiangshi, is still being repaired.

In addition, the travel route this time is too long. After arriving in Tottori Prefecture, you have to transfer to the island halfway. Driving is not as convenient as taking transportation.

Qin Jiu's behavior style is different from that of ordinary murderers. He usually leaves after killing and silences all passers-by who saw him kill.

Therefore, not only the police could not find him, but also the detectives who were good at picking one of the three fixed suspects could not find him.

Therefore, although Gin Jiu's identity is somewhat problematic, it is far from the point where he is posted with wanted warrants everywhere, and he can usually appear in public.There are not many occasions where the island country needs to check the identity certificate, so it is safe for him to go out.

... Having said that.

But when Jiang Xia arrived at the station and met with gin and vodka at the hidden place he had agreed upon, he still couldn't help making a small request.

"Just pretend you don't know me on the way."

Jiang Xia tried her best to say euphemistically: "I'm worried that one day you will be photographed when you keep your mouth shut, and then someone will find out that I have had contact with you... Although this can barely explain the past, it is easy to attract doubts from interested people."— ——Those who are interested refer specifically to the group of famous detectives who have a lot of cases around them and are easy to talk about.

"..." Qin Jiu raised his head upon hearing this, and glanced at Jiang Xia from under the brim of his hat.

It's hard to avoid feeling a little delicate when someone says that in person.

But thinking about it carefully, Wu Zuo was indeed acting in strict accordance with the organization's confidentiality requirements.

Moreover, just pretending not to know each other, and not wanting to arrest him and vodka to the police as a performance to climb up... This is not a big deal.

Gin crushed half of the cigarette into the ashtray with water, nodded, and left without saying a word, carrying the briefcase.

Vodka stayed for a second, then trotted to keep up.

After running a few meters, he couldn't hold back and looked back at Jiang Xia, his eyes were shocked, and his face was full of condemnation——

He and his elder brother didn't dislike Wu Zuo who went all the way to kill people, but Wu Zuo actually disliked them? ?How unreasonable!
sooner or later s...

cough.

... Sooner or later, the big brother will kill him!
……

Jiang Xia pretended not to see Vodka's complicated sight of "You have no conscience!"

...a bit of a pang of conscience, but it's also true that he couldn't go out in public with gin and vodka like a gang—perhaps at other times, but not today.

Because according to Jiang Xia's prior investigation, during this trip, he is likely to meet Conan and Mori Kogoro and his group: Mori Kogoro has a good classmate in Tottori Prefecture.A classmate is going to hold a wedding recently, and he is invited to attend.

Jiang Xia recalled the scene at the station.I haven’t seen Conan and Maori yet, so I guess I’m too late to go out again, so I can only get stuck on the dead line later... By the way, before they arrive, I’ll go get the reserved tickets first .

The ticket was booked by Qinjiu before, but now he suddenly said that he wants to leave separately, and he doesn't know whether Qinjiu will give him the ticket again... I'm afraid that this cadre will follow his train of thought just now, think it is very reasonable, and then decide to split up If you divide them up more simply, don't take the same car, and wait for the destination to meet again...then his case will be dismissed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia quickly left the hidden corner and walked towards the ticket gate.

From a distance, I saw two tall and eye-catching black figures standing there. They seemed to have finished collecting the tickets and were turning around, planning to leave.

Looking at each other, Gin glanced over Jiang Xia, bowed his head and said a few words to Vodka.

Then I saw Vodka's face change from calm to shocked, then from shocked to reluctant, and finally holding the ticket, with a stern face, reluctantly walked towards Jiang Xia.

"..."

Jiang Xia was startled, and then quickly understood what the other party meant.

Probably to give him a ticket.

...but Gin apparently misunderstood some facts.

——Perhaps in Gin's heart, vodka is not cruel at all, so after humbly listening to Jiang Xia's suggestion just now, Gin temporarily entrusted the task of "contacting Uzo" Like a good man's vodka.

...but in the eyes of passers-by who don't know the truth, vodka actually looks more like a villain in the traditional sense.In the eyes of those who know a little bit of the truth, there is no difference—gin and vodka are exactly the same, and they are both members of the Black Organization.

Although according to Jiang Xia's observation just now, there is no protagonist group in the station yet.

But comparing the luck of Gin and Conan...Jiang Xia was always worried that the moment he took the ticket from the vodka, he would be seen by the protagonist group who happened to come in.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia turned his feet, changed his direction slightly, and turned into a corridor as if nothing had happened.

behind him.

The footsteps of the nearby Vodka stopped.Take a close look at the hallway, which has a broken light and looks very dark compared to the bright hall.

... I don't know if it's an illusion.He always felt that this place was a good place to ambush.

Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes under the vodka sunglasses twitched, and he subconsciously looked back at the gin.

I saw Gin with a cigarette in his mouth, looking away from the windbreaker pocket, as if he didn't know the two people here, and he didn't see it, let alone respond to Vodka's gaze.

Vodka: "..."

never mind.The boss was present, and there were so many people in the hall, and Wu Zuo didn't have a deep hatred with him, so he couldn't kill him suddenly at this time.He can't always overreact like this.After all, according to the experience I learned from escape variety shows, the more panicked the easier it is to die...

Thinking of this, Vodka took a deep breath calmly, with a tough face on his face, and strode into the corridor.Teng Teng Teng turned a corner.

Then he almost bumped into Jiang Xia who was waiting for him at the corner.

When Vodka saw that face at close range, his heart skipped a beat, and he grasped the gun in his pocket reflexively.

Almost at the same time, another hand reached out silently and pressed on his wrist, interrupting Vodka's movement of drawing the gun.

"Drawing a gun in such a public place, do you want to be silenced?" Jiang Xia changed what Qin Jiu had said to him, and turned around and gave it to Qin Jiu's number one younger brother.

Then he stretched out his other hand and pulled out the ticket that belonged to him from Vodka's hand.

"Received." Jiang Xia shook the ticket towards the stiff vodka, glanced disappointedly at the murderous look on the tall man in black who had just been frightened out and was immediately frightened back, and let go of his wrist, "Go back Bar."

After breaking free from the restraint, Vodka took a sudden step back.

Then he raised his chin, forcefully let out a cold snort, turned around, and walked away at a fast pace.

Jiang Xia didn't go out immediately, but looked down at the ticket first.

This time they booked the Beidouxing train, sleeper.From Tokyo to Tottori.

Thinking about the other two tickets that he saw just now, Jiang Xia found that the two boxes were next to each other.Probably the person who booked the ticket felt that this would be more conducive to dealing with emergencies.

Jiang Xia nodded secretly, very satisfied with this arrangement.Qin Jiu may produce fresh murderous aura at any time - for example, when he occasionally thinks of someone who should be killed when he is reading a document, the murderous aura on his body will temporarily expand.

And boxes like this one next to each other are undoubtedly more convenient for Jiang Xia to send ghosts to visit at any time.

Even if the ghost stays in the gin and vodka box, at this distance, the act of "letting the ghost out" won't consume too much murderous energy.

……

After delivering the vodka tickets and leaving, Jiang Xia didn't go out the same way, but took a detour and left from the other end of the corridor.

Then he took the ticket and went into the station to take the train.

Now is not the tourist season, and there are very few people on the platform.However, Tokyo is the starting station, and the deserted scene may be because some people have already entered the car in advance.

While going down the steps leading to the platform, Jiang Xia leaned over the railing and glanced down.First, I saw Gin wine, which was wrapped in a high-end murderous look and was extremely conspicuous on the platform.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on a tall and thin middle-aged man in front of the next carriage.

The middle-aged man wore a pair of metal-rimmed glasses and had a high hairline parted in the middle. He followed another older man submissively, whispering something.

Different from his respectful and humble expression, murderous aura surged beside him.Although it wasn't a high-end murderous look, it was still a beautiful sight in the eyes of a psychic.

Jiang Xia took a brief look at this beater who was completely different in heart and appearance, and then looked at the boss who was followed by him.

Jiang Xia has seen a picture of this boss - it's on the cleaning list given by Qin Jiu.

This man's name is Izumo Keitaro, the owner of a jewelry store in Koshi City, and a well-known rich man.

But in fact, compared to the jewelry business, Keitaro Izumo's more source of income is actually drug trafficking.

In Gin's plan, the order of removing Boss Izumo was placed relatively late.

At first, Jiang Xia thought that Gin made such a decision because in this drug line, Izumo Keitaro, a self-employed man, was relatively less of a threat, so there was no need to rush to deal with it.

But now, after seeing the store manager behind Keitaro Izumo and remembering the social status of the boss Izumo, Jiang Xia gradually had a new guess.

——Gin was not in a hurry to start, perhaps because recently, Furui City happened to be running for mayor, and Keitaro Izumo happened to be one of the candidates.

Going to assassinate the mayoral candidate at this time is indeed likely to cause a big commotion.It's better to wait for the election to subside first.Anyway, Boss Izumo is unlikely to be selected.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia went down the last few steps, got into the car, and found her own box.

He put his luggage away, stretched his body, and planned to go around to see if Conan and the others were in the car.

However, just as he walked to the door, the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

...is the cell phone used to contact the organization.

Jiang Xia took out the phone, unlocked it and checked it.

I saw a message from vodka instead of gin:

[Meet dk07 by chance.Depending on the situation, we will blow up this section of the carriage and obliterate the target.A message will be sent to you 10 minutes before the action, remember to go out in time and evacuate with us.During this period, in order to avoid being seen or leaving images, try not to go out]
Jiang Xia: "..."

He just guessed that Gin put Izumo Kaitaro so low in the assassination list because he didn't want to make trouble during the mayor's election.

It turned out that within a minute of reaching this conclusion, Gin told him with practical actions that this was not the case.

... is that his understanding of organizational behavior patterns is not deep enough.Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

After that, he moved his gaze to the number.

"dk07" should refer to Yun Qitaro——Jiang Xia remembers that in the assassination list he saw, there was indeed a note in brackets after the name of Izumo Keitaro, which contained these characters.

Having said that, there are just a few targets who are not even peripheral members, and they even got a temporary number alone... Has there been such a thing in the organization before?

Jiang Xia recalled it carefully, and found that the important list was out of his reach.But in my impression, unimportant people used to refer to who killed who.

…the organization seems to be getting more and more formal.I hope that this strange change that keeps pace with the times will not affect his paddling to pick up ghosts.

While distracted, Jiang Xia reflexively typed "received" in the reply column.

When he finished typing and was about to send it, he came back to his senses, deleted these two words again, and typed new words:
[Why don't you let me try first.In fact, I also made some preparations for today's event.

It's still a long way to Tottori, and if I don't succeed, there's still time to drop the bomb. ]
Not to mention the power of the bomb.The fact that it is difficult for the shikigami to be used effectively by Gin Jiu makes Jiang Xia feel that it is necessary to avoid Gin Jiu's attack as much as possible.

After editing, click Send.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the phone vibrated again.

This time, it was no longer vodka's ghostwriting reply.

It was a message directly from Gin: [His destination is also Tottori? ]
