Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 387 The Unruly Uzo (Joint Chapter)

Jiang Xia didn't tell Qin Jiu about it as soon as she received the entrustment letter.

Because this letter came a little late.

Although the possibility is very small, he doesn't want Qin Jiu to notice the specific timeline and straighten it out subconsciously, and then feel that Wu Zuo's "murder layout" sometimes seems to be hasty——Jiang Xia still wants to continue to fight against "Uzuo" With the identity of "Zuo", you can get tasks in the water, and you have to pretend to be a useful and good employee to get rid of the organization's murderous spirit and ghosts.

But at this juncture, taking out the letter will make it easier for people to focus on "there is actually a letter of entrustment?" On the day of the letter.

Qin Jiu took the entrustment letter from Jiang Xia, glanced at the finely worded words on it, frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and found an excuse: "I want to give you a surprise."

"..." Qin Jiu didn't speak, but a vein popped out on the back of his hand, and the letter paper between his fingers was also wrinkled.

The murder incident on the train yesterday, although it was Uzuo's own initiative, Izumo Keitaro was the last target to be wiped out, and the boss of Izumo is very close to Tokyo, there are plenty of direct staff there, and there are many more professional people in charge To deal with the aftermath, so Gin did not make any obliteration plans other than "killing with one shot".

So after meeting Keitaro Izumo and planning to blow him up with a bomb, he suddenly found that Uzo had a better way to deal with it. Gin really felt a little pleasantly surprised at the time.

But this time, Takeda's family's client list, drugs in stock, etc. all need gin to take care of them. He has already arranged the relevant manpower and made several sets of detailed plans.Although it also includes Uzo's temporary performance, if he knew that Uzo had an invitation letter from the Spider Mansion, the plan could make many better adjustments.

In addition, Takeda Shinichi suddenly wanted to invite detectives. This behavior itself also hides some intriguing information, which requires them to dig and analyze to prevent things from changing.Therefore, the invitation letter sent by the Takeda family is obviously important prior information.

But Wu Zuo didn't reveal a single word, and now he said that he had to deal with it in a hurry...

Qin Jiu thought of the layout he made all night long, and the fact that he might have to adjust their status quo, and his words immediately carried a bit of murderous intent: "This is a mission, not a game."

Before Jiang Xia had time to react, the mermaid and Xiaobai hanging on his body had already let out a surprised murmur.The two ghosts pounced on Gin skillfully.

Because the parent ghosts move very slowly, they are very self-aware and don't move, just watching them lovingly.

Wu Tengu and Miyano Akemi were a little more reserved.When they moved to the side of the gin, the murderous aura that had just grown had been almost suppressed by the two active ghosts.

The joys and sorrows between humans and ghosts are not connected.

Gin knew nothing about what was going on around him.

After he reprimanded the young subordinates who were obsessed with the layout and ignored the coordination of teammates, he saw Uzo nodded, as if he was seriously reflecting.Only then did he withdraw his gloomy gaze, and his anger eased slightly.

...Speaking of which, although Uzo's way of acting is obviously playful, at least his work attitude is not a problem, and in some things, he is even more positive than vodka.

Moreover, since Wu Zuo had a letter of entrustment in his hand, he said just now that he would "go to the Spider Mansion in a hurry", which meant that he should have already made a complete plan.

Although the logistics department in Tottori Prefecture is not as smooth as those in Tokyo, it is not too difficult to adjust the finishing work in cooperation with Usa...

After weighing the consequences of Uzo's self-assertion, Gin found that there seemed to be no serious consequences.

The mentality gradually calmed down a bit.

... Uzo did not do it right this time, but he is a smart newcomer, and after being reminded, he should take the initiative to adjust his way of doing things... At least the way he reflects now seems very sincere.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiu refocused on the assassination mission.

He turned to Jiang Xia and simply asked, "When will Wutian die?"

Jiang Xia recovered from the surprise of "discovering a new way to suppress murderous aura".

He thought for a while: "If it goes well, it will be after dinner."

As for whether it goes well or not, it depends on Hattori-san's performance...

Gin nodded.It's just past noon now, and Puppet Peak is some distance away from the station. Wu Zuo passed by now, arrived in the afternoon, and the accident happened in the evening. The time is just right.

And by that time, he and Vodka should have already dealt with the rats in the Tottori branch, and can rush to the Spider Mansion to watch and control the scene.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiu looked again at the letter of entrustment handed over to Jiang Xia.

He browsed carefully this time, and found that Takeda Shinichi didn't say why he suddenly hired a detective, and his words were mysterious.

...Could it be that he sensed that the wind direction was wrong recently, worried that the organization would attack him, and wanted to try to save himself?

Among so many detectives, Takeda chose Uzo at a glance... really good at picking people.

Qin Jiu showed a sneer full of malice, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the scene where some important figures came to Uzo for help when they were hunted down by the organization... Tsk, the organization should train a group of detectives earlier, so that it can save a lot of money The kung fu of assassination.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is not an easy task - Bourbon, who is not weak, has opened a detective agency for so many years, and he has not shown any signs of becoming a famous detective. It can be seen that this kind of thing also requires enough luck... …or enough talent for murder.

Uzo's success cannot be replicated.

Thinking of this, Gin's dissatisfaction just now finally disappeared.

He handed the letter back to Jiang Xia, and casually reminded him about the Wutian family: "This kind of person dares to do anything when he jumps over the wall in a hurry. The things in his place may not be clean. You should pay more attention to it-an organization's rehabilitation center is nothing. Great place, I don't want to see you there."

Jiang Xia nodded.I thought to myself that there is such a thing as a rehab center in the organization?Are your facilities too complete...

Immediately, I thought of the organization cadre in the report who was allergic to the ICU because he smoked the flavored cigarettes delivered by others, and felt that this was indeed necessary—all people with allergies bumped into it, so maybe there were more cadres who were not allergic Having been exposed to addictive drugs, it is really useful to set up a withdrawal center...

The simple exchange is over quickly.

At Jiang Xia's request, Vodka found a random intersection, put him down happily, and then quickly started to leave, leaving Jiang Xia with a car exhaust.

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the back of the vehicle leaving, raised her hand to disperse the dirty air, and felt revenge for vodka in her heart.

Next time, we must find an opportunity to scare out the murderous aura of this tall man, and see what it smells like... However, with vodka, even if he only has ordinary murderous aura, Jiang Xia will not be surprised when he finds out.

……

Jiang Xia quickly took a taxi and came to the city where Puppet Peak is located.

At a small station in the city, Jiang Xia saw an open truck carrying three people.

Beside the car was a middle-aged man with a square chin and a fat build.The man was smoking a cigarette, looking back and forth, looking at the crowd exiting the station.

After seeing Jiang Xia, the middle-aged man was stunned for two seconds, took out a photo from his pocket, and looked at it for comparison.

Then he put down the photo and waved to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia walked over.

——The person who came to pick him up was not Shinichi Takeda, the assassination target this time, but his third brother, Yuzo Takeda.The names come in sorted order.

Puppet Peak has inconvenient transportation, and there is no public transportation that can go there directly.In order to show his sincerity in inviting the detective and worrying that the detective would be too troublesome to come, Takeda Shinichi specially arranged for his younger brother to come out to pick him up.

Jiang Xia opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Takeda Yuzo stepped on the accelerator and drove all the way to Puppet Peak.

The mountains on the road are undulating and gradually climbing.

Jiang Xia rested his elbows on the window frame, turned his head to look at the vast forest, and as he got closer to his destination, he gradually began to lose his mind.

Spider Mountain is also a place with legends.

But in Jiang Xia's impression: the mountain mud temple with the legend of the foggy dog ​​had a foggy dog, and the mermaid island with the legend of the mermaid had a mermaid ghost... Now, will there be another spider here?
Wait, speaking of which, spiders are kind of ugly.

If I remember correctly, Shinichi Takeda, the uncle who was scheduled to die, was also ugly...

But no matter how you say it, it's still a ghost. If it really falls, he will neutralize it when the puppet is formed in the future, and it may be able to achieve an average appearance.But if it's really Spider-Man, this kind of vest should be rarely used at ordinary times...

Tsk, after thinking about it, I still feel a little disgusted.

But I want a ghost again...

Jiang Xia was caught in a tangle for a while.

But soon he thought about it again.

What are you thinking about in advance?It’s like wondering whether to go to Tokyo University or Osaka University in the future—he won’t be able to go to either, after all, as long as Conan is still around, he won’t be able to graduate... In short, it’s better to wait until the ghost really falls. Get tangled up in this kind of thing.

If Takeda Shinichi kicked his legs one by one and only lost one shikigami, wouldn't it be a waste of brain cells used to tangle.

After calming down, Jiang Xia continued to enjoy the scenery.

But soon, his mind shifted from the scenery to the road ahead, and his eyes brightened.

—Three persons were standing by the side of the road, two men and one woman.

One of the dark-skinned high school boys was pushing a motorcycle, and it was Hattori Heiji that Jiang Xia had been looking forward to for a long time.

Next to Hattori is his childhood sweetheart, Kazuha Toyama.

The other is a strange foreigner with blond hair.

The three of them seemed to be worried about something.

Jiang Xia glanced at them, sat up straight, and said to Takeda Yuzo who was driving next to him, "Stop for a while."

……

Hattori Heiji came to this deep mountain because he received an anonymous entrustment letter a while ago.As usual, there was money in the letter, so he had no choice but to run over to pay back the money.

When Yuan Shan and Ye heard that he was coming to Tottori, they immediately happily said that they would come together, and vowed that she was very familiar with the way of Tottori, and it was up to her to know the way.

Hattori Heiji believed her lies.

Then the two of them plunged into the deep mountain.

And then, lost from the morning to now.

On the way, when the two were haggardly looking for the way and thinking about whether to sleep on the spot, they met an enthusiastic foreigner——Rob Taylor.

Rob Taylor is a photographer.

Three years ago, he came to this area to take pictures of the scenery, but unfortunately he was crushed by the collapsed earth and rocks.

Later, it was Takeda Shinichi's daughter. Takeda Misa picked him up and took care of him until his injury improved.

Rob said that he came back today to visit his benefactor.

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji showed a happy smile, and wanted to hug this thigh that knows the way, and rush to Takeda's house before dark.

However, before he had time to speak, he was snatched away by Rob.

The foreigner said with a smile: "If you are going to Takeda's house, I will go with you. I just don't know the way."

"..."

After looking at each other in silence for a second.

Hattori Heiji put away his enthusiastic smile, stopped talking to this strange passerby, and started discussing with Toyama and Ye about how to sleep in the mountains.

Yuan Shan and Ye didn't want to sleep in a deep mountain full of bugs and maybe snakes.She remembered the scene at that time, and her face turned red and white.

At this time, a truck passed by and stopped beside them.

The three lost brothers and sisters were immediately overjoyed.

Hattori Heiji walked quickly to the side of the car, trying to discuss with the driver: "We want to go to Takeda's house in Puppet Peak, can we..."

He was about to ask if he could help point out the way, or simply help transport them there.

However, halfway through the conversation, Hattori Heiji noticed a strong gaze.

As if feeling something, he raised his head, passed the unfamiliar driver, and saw Jiang Xia sitting in the co-pilot.

"..."

Hattori Heiji was dumbfounded.

Jiang Xia ignored Detective Osaka's complicated expression, Heiji Tohatbu, and Toyama and Ye Yixiao who looked surprised behind him: "Coincidentally, you are also going to Takeda's house?"

Hattori Heiji lost expression for a moment.

After a while, he said dryly, "No, I'm actually here to see the scenery."

Said, turned and wanted to leave.

But he was grabbed by Yuan Shan and Ye.

"Yes, we have been looking for Wutian's family for a long time." Yuan Shan and Ye had a good impression of Jiang Xia, and meeting Jiang Xia now means that she does not have to sleep in places full of bugs and snakes. The eyes looking at Jiang Xia were suddenly several times more friendly than usual.

Before Hattori Heiji reacted, she took the initiative to explain: "Actually, Heiji received a commission. The client sent the advance payment together, but the return address was not written on the envelope. We can only come and have a look. By the way Pay back."

"..." Jiang Xia glanced at Hattori Heiji silently, thinking that this kind of money summoning technique is really useful, and he will try it next time.If you succeed, you don't have to worry about not being able to abduct someone with an event physique in the future...

Seeing that Hattori Heiji seemed to want to run away, Jiang Xia didn't give him a chance to speak.

He turned to Takeda Yuzo and asked, "Can you give them a ride along the way?"

Takeda Yuzo has a sad and unreasonable face, but he is actually quite easy to talk to.

He nodded when he heard the words, leaned on the window sill and glanced at the big motorcycle Hattori Heiji on the side of the road, then found a bundle of ropes from the car, helped Hattori Heiji move the motorcycle onto the car, and fixed it in the bucket.
