Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 385 Conan: The Men in Black Stay Away From Jiang Xia! (joint chapter)
"So I followed the sound and looked for it, and finally judged that the problem was that box." Speaking of this, Jiang Xia pointed in the direction of the sleeper car, indicating Asama Anji's box:
"I knocked on the door, but there was no answer; I tried to pull it, and the box was unlocked.

"When I opened the door, I saw that the car window in the house was broken. If I looked carefully, I could vaguely see a fishing line extending from the door to the window. I feel that this scene is a bit weird——um...you should know .Fishing line is a favorite tool of many murderers.

"I had a bad premonition, so I carefully entered the room to check. I just found the body hanging outside the window, and I was about to leave the box to call the police, when the door was suddenly pulled open by the murderer..."

When Jiang Xia told the police some true or false experiences, and reviewed his murder plan for Jia Yueli.

The other side of the same carriage.

Vodka looked at the serious Uzo from a distance, then looked at the fishing line as evidence, and touched his thick neck uncomfortably. He always felt itchy on the side of his neck, as if it had been tied by someone There was a deadly fine line.

...The closer you look, the more ubiquitous Uzo's layout becomes.If one day, Wu Zuo really made up his mind to deal with him, how could he avoid getting into a dead end?

Nothing happened, so Vodka pondered seriously for a while.

Then, I couldn't think of a solution, but was frightened into a cold sweat by the various thrilling scenes I had imagined.

So much so that when a policeman suddenly approached him to talk to him, Vodka shuddered unobtrusively and almost reached for his gun.

Fortunately, just as he was making a move, he was "coincidentally" knocked sideways by the hand of Gin Jiu holding a cigarette next to him.

Vodka came back to his senses in a thrill, straightened the hem of his clothes with his raised hand, and answered the policeman's words as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at the smoke spit out by the elder brother next to him, and always felt that there was a trace of impatience and reprimand for his behavior of pulling out the gun just now.

Immediately, Vodka blamed himself, but couldn't help but suspect that this might also be Uzo's conspiracy - people's ability to associate is extremely powerful.When a certain fact is confirmed, it is always easy to associate all the troubles around it.Vodka has a little bit of the same these days.

However, the police's gaze towards Vodka became a little calmer.

——A man in black in sunglasses who is dazed and frightened looks much less threatening than a normal man in black in sunglasses.

The policeman who came to inquire about the situation thought: This person may be just a poor person who is too socially afraid to wear sunglasses in the early hours of the morning to avoid staring at others; The incongruous big eyes of water and spirit, that's why I used sunglasses to cover them up...

After dispelling the impression that "this man looks like a bad guy with his clothes", the police who were in charge of questioning Vodka didn't ask too much. After all, Vodka is not a very important witness.

He quickly turned to gin, and after a brief inquiry, went to the next passenger again.

……

Besides vodka, there was another person in the car who was out of his mind at the moment.

——Conan's face was serious, he was hiding in a corner and thinking quickly, his mind was running so fast that he seemed to be burning hot.

The sudden appearance of Gin and stepping on the gun just now stunned Conan for a moment, but after he thought about it carefully, he gradually found out the right reason: maybe Gin just didn't like the murderer, or maybe Gin was Instinctively preventing others except him from getting the weapon... In short, the act of intercepting the gun is not the point.

The focus is on how the gin behaves afterwards.

——I don’t know if it’s an illusion, Conan always feels that since then, especially now, as Jiang Xia has started to find out the murderer and expose the murderer’s plan neatly, when Qin Jiu occasionally looks at Jiang Xia, there is a hint of appreciation in his eyes .

...which has never been done before.

Conan has met Gin several times, and in his impression, even when Gin is looking at his powerful partner vodka, his eyes are always full of disgust... Yes, just like now.

As for the other passers-by, they didn't even look directly at them.

This kind of weird special made Conan immediately vigilant.

He had already faintly discovered that Jiang Xia seemed to have a special temperament that attracted gangsters—for example, the psychiatrist who shot and killed the police in the street before, or the Anonymous who seemed to be more law-abiding than the other Anonymous, who was good at disguise, and another example. Toru Amuro, the boss of Gun's detective agency... oh, Boss Amuro seems to be a good person, so he shouldn't always subconsciously classify him as a suspicious person... Conan's thinking went astray for a short time.

He corrected his thoughts, and quickly returned to the topic.

In short, although Conan was ready to find hidden criminals from Jiang Xia every day, he never expected that even gin would be included in this scope.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help thinking of Dr. Ali's suggestion when he was just a child—let him lurk beside Mori Kogoro as "Conan", help Mori Kogoro become a famous detective, and then use As a famous detective, he came into contact with cases related to the organization in black, and finally collected enough information to arrest the people in black...

Unexpectedly, after working hard until now, the increase in Uncle Maori's popularity is so low that it can be ignored.

Jiang Xia did it easily.

Jiang Xia became famous very quickly, and she did come into contact with the man in black.

It's just that the way of contact was different from Conan's expectation—in Jiang Xia's entrustment, there were not many men in black, but he himself attracted Qin Jiu's attention.

... Could it be that being a famous detective is also a worthwhile identity for the Black Organization?
If you think about it carefully, this will indeed allow the organization to covertly contact some people. After all, private detectives hold the privacy of many people.In addition, Jiang Xia still has great potential for growth, if this continues...

Conan couldn't help but see the bloody picture of the black organization threatening Jiang Xia and inviting him to join, but Jiang Xia was unyielding and resolutely refused, and then was assassinated on the spot by the angry organization.

In addition, there is an equally bad result-the organization sends people to contact Jiang Xia, become friends with Jiang Xia, and then make some requests that he can't refuse, and induce him to do something that seems to be a little illegal. In fact, it is a crime, and it is used to lead people into the abyss bit by bit...

In the end, even if Jiang Xia resolutely refuses to join the organization and join forces with the organization, he may be disappointed with himself who has committed many crimes, and then soak himself in the bathtub and try to reopen... This neighbor has a criminal record, similar to It should be quite proficient in doing things.

After imagining a few tragic scenes in his brain, Conan pressed his forehead haggardly and came to a conclusion.

——It is necessary to prevent the organization from contacting Jiang Xia.

And it must be while the organization has not taken too many actions, so that their sunk cost is not high, and it is easier to give up their attempt on Jiang Xia.

Thinking of this, Conan silently picked up the juice next to him, and looked at the carriage.

He decided that if Qin Jiu went to talk to Jiang Xia, he would run over immediately, pretend to trip, and pour the juice on Qin...cough, splash it on Jiang Xia's clothes, let Jiang Xia go back to the box to change, and he would follow in, and Find an excuse to let Jiang Xia stay in the box until the vehicle arrives at the station, preventing the two parties from contacting this time.

As for later...

Gin and vodka appeared in public places at the same time today. It is impossible for a group tour to come. They must have business.

When they got off the bus at the station, the two of them went to get busy with business, so they would naturally separate from Jiang Xia, and it would be difficult to meet them again on the way.Maybe she was so busy that she forgot about Jiang Xia.

Even if he didn't forget, when he returned to Tokyo later, Conan felt that he could still use Kudo Shinichi's voice to tell the Mugure police that a murderer was suspected to be eyeing Jiang Xia, and asked the police to lead someone to guard for a while. If he could catch Gin, Then make a big profit...

Conan was sometimes fearful, sometimes excited, sometimes nervous, and sometimes expectant... He waited for a long while holding the juice glass with ups and downs.

However, the expected conversation did not happen.

——Both Jiang Xia and Gin have been questioned, but Gin didn't make excuses to get in touch, and neither did Vodka.

...Maybe there are too many policemen, and you want to avoid them?

Or was "recruitment to organizations" not part of Gin's business, so he didn't take action?
Of course, I hope that I am thinking too much - Qin Jiu has no idea about "recruiting Jiang Xia", this is the best situation...

Conan's hand holding the cup relaxed a little, and took a sip of the juice that was intended to be splashed on Jiang Xia.Secretly let out a breath.

He was actually a little tangled, should he tell Jiang Xia the real situation of the organization.

But after thinking about it, he felt that if the black organization hadn't taken action, if he had reminded Jiang Xia in advance, it would have easily aroused Jiang Xia's interest in that mysterious organization.

If it turned Jiang Xia into curiosity and led him to follow up and investigate Qin Jiu, the matter would be even more troublesome.

But if you don't mention anything... Since Qin Jiu took the initiative to help intercept the gun just now, Jiang Xia's first impression of this enthusiastic passer-by should be quite good. In this way, the probability of the organization's success in contacting him will be higher.

... It's too difficult.How can it be so difficult.

Conan scratched his hair tiredly, and drank a few mouthfuls of juice.

Gradually, thinking of the inference of the "first impression" just now, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea popped up in his mind.

...It's better to find an opportunity and run to Jiang Xia to slander Qin Jiu's character.

In this way, Jiang Xia can be both disgusted and disdainful to investigate.In the future, if Qin Jiu tries to contact Jiang Xia and members of the development organization, Jiang Xia will also maintain due vigilance, and will not immediately become friends with strange people and fall into the insidious trap of the organization.

And as long as there is a buffering process in the contact between the organization and Jiang Xia, Conan firmly believes that he can take appropriate actions and in turn catch the organization members.

By the way, there is Hui Yuan Ai, a helper—she seems to be very sensitive to the "smell of organization members". If someone contacts Jiang Xia, she might be able to sense it when Jiang Xia goes to the doctor's house again.

Conan observed secretly while thinking wildly.

He was simulating various plans and responses in his mind. At this time, he saw Jiang Xia whispered a word to the police, and after confirming that he was fine for the time being, he planned to go back to the box to rest.

When turning around, Jiang Xia saw Qin Jiu behind her.Qin Jiu happened to be looking at him too, and the two looked at each other briefly.

Conan looked carefully, and found that Jiang Xia's expression was not vigilant or disgusted, but seemed to be a little appreciative.

……Um?appreciate?
For gin? ?

...that damn first impression.

Conan clicked his tongue inwardly, but tried to put on an innocent look on his face, he walked through the carriage with gin and vodka in the corner of his eye like a fart, ran over in small steps, and caught up with Jiang Xia.

……

Jiang Xia left the social carriage temporarily requisitioned by the police and entered the sleeper compartment.

He heard footsteps, looked back, and found that it was Conan.

The face of the fake child is ugly...Are there going to be a new case?

But the police haven't left yet, so it's not appropriate...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia touched Conan's head expectantly: "What's wrong?"

Conan shook his head, did not speak, and motioned to a hidden place to speak.

So he walked all the way to Jiang Xia's box.

When he looked up and saw the location of the box, Conan was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

——If I remember correctly, Qin Jiu came out from next door just now, and he actually lives next door to Jiang Xia!

...Could it be that the organization in black has been eyeing Jiang Xia for a long time.

No, it shouldn't be.Jiang Xia's action trajectory in Tokyo is obviously much easier to catch than now, and he doesn't need to run to the train to meet him by chance.

So it should be a coincidence.

From this point of view, Jiang Xia and the black organization are quite destined... Bah, it should be said that this is a fateful confrontation between good and evil.

Conan suppressed the strange intuitive thoughts that popped up in his mind, and let reason take over again.

Follow Jiang Xia's box and lock the door.

Conan remembered his slander plan just now.

After hesitating for a moment, he found an entry point in a low voice: "Do you know those two tall men in black just now?"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Can this be seen?

... His intuition was quite accurate. He thought that the conspicuous shapes of gin and vodka would not look abnormal if he took a second look, but Conan somehow discovered that the two knew each other.

As expected of the classmate Kudo who successfully stripped off the vests of countless bosses in the future... Jiang Xia looked at Conan in surprise.

In the face of Conan's problem, it seems that here we should simply deny it and try to break away from Gin and the organization in the eyes of Red Fang.

But Jiang Xia thought about it, and felt that according to the frequency of organizing cases, and the frequency of running into Conan with Qin Jiu...it is very likely that Conan will see him talking with Qin Jiu, or even rubbing against Qin Jiu's car.

...Instead of hiding carefully all the time, it is better to solve this hidden danger now.

For example, take the opportunity to express a good first impression on the members of the organization.

In this way, if Conan can't help telling him about the black organization, and Conan sees him later, he can use "trying to contact the organization or even go undercover to find the truth" as a way to get in touch with Gin and the organization. Excuse.

And if Conan doesn't say anything, on the premise of having a good impression, "Jiang Xia has contact with members of the organization", it will become a logical process, and it will not be immediately associated with "Jiang Xia was originally a member of the organization".
