Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 423 Clue Lianliankan (anti-theft and more)

Toru Amuro remembered that a few days ago, there was indeed a letter from Moon Shadow Island in the mailbox of the office.

He usually didn't have time to deal with the entrustment in the store, and the recipient said Jiang Xia, so he didn't open it to read.Later, Jiang Xia asked him to ask for leave for a business trip, and the place he was going to also had this place name, so Amuro Toru had some impressions of Moon Shadow Island.

Combined with the news I saw before, the destination of Jiang Xia's business trip this time, Yueying Island, just happened to be a suspicious explosion with many casualties.

——Gin Jiu who went on a business trip to an unknown location, the explosion that caused many casualties, and the explosion site Moon Shadow Island, and Jiang Xia who was also on a business trip at about the same time but rarely solved the case at the destination...

Several key points are lined up in the mind, instantly forming a broken line.

Although there is no evidence, Amuro intuitively thinks that there may be some connections that he has not discovered among these seemingly coincidental events.

Anyway, it's just a matter of asking the staff a few words, even if they guess wrong, it won't delay anything...

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro sent a message to Jiang Xia after passing by the detective agency and remembering the matter of Yueying Island, asking him if he finished his business trip.If you have already returned to Tokyo, take the time to visit the detective agency.

——According to Amuro Toru's observation, although Jiang Xia had solved two or three cases during his business trip, his final destination, Moon Shadow Island, did not appear to be him.

Combined with Jiang Xia's experience in solving crimes all the way in the past, this is very abnormal.

And if the explosion on the island was really related to Gin, this anomaly would be explained—Jiang Xia might have been unlucky enough to run into Gin, or even that "Uzo", and then be killed by these unreasonable organization cadres. interfered with the commission.

... If this is the case, Toru Amuro felt that he might be able to learn some information about "Uzo" from Jiang Xia by accident.

After sending the text message, a few minutes later, Jiang Xia didn't reply.

Toru Amuro was on his way while diverting his thoughts boredly.

He suddenly thought, after all, Vodka is a veteran member of the organization, even if he would be afraid of some of Uzo's actions - such as attacking his teammates, Vodka shouldn't instinctively feel nervous whenever Uzo is mentioned after they parted.

So, is there a possibility that Vodka's reaction to the "new face" is not just because he has heard rumors of Uzo's brutality, but also what he actually saw during this business trip?
...Thinking of the worst outcome, Wu Zuo might meet Jiang Xia on his way to Moon Shadow Island.Wu Zuo from out of town didn't know that Jiang Xia was a member of the organization, and he was full of malice towards this high school student detective who symbolized justice. In addition, Jiang Xia unintentionally interfered with the mission of the organization, so Wu Zuo...

After that, vodka and gin also came to meet.Vodka was shocked by those unspeakable bloody scenes, and felt a little bit sad.

...And this kind of conjecture seems to be able to explain why Vodka's instinctive panic was quickly relieved-Jiang Xia, who was murdered by Wu Zuo, was just a peripheral member.And vodka itself is a precious organizational cadre.Vodka relaxed when he thought that Uzo's cruelty would not target him.

... quite reasonable.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro frowned slightly, and looked at the phone that still hadn't received a reply.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned on the screen and planned to call Jiang Xia to confirm his safety as soon as possible.

However, just after opening the address book, an email suddenly popped up on the page.

From Jiangxia.

——He has already returned to Tokyo, saying that he is picking up the cat at a friend's house, and he will come to the office when he gets the cat.

Toru Amuro read the letter carefully, and felt that from the tone to the content, it was very similar to what Jiang Xia would say.

Only then did he silently wipe away the bloody conjectures in his mind just now, calmly turned the car around, and prepared to go to the detective agency.

There is too little known information now, so it is okay to make a bold assumption and carefully verify it.It is difficult for a person who dare not assume to become an excellent intelligence officer...

... It's normal to guess wrong, and there's no shame in it.

……

In short, after some handover and a period of brain supplementation.

This is how the current scene in the office came about.

Amuro Detective Agency.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Xia heard Amuro Toru ask about Yueying Island, and looked up at him.

Then he showed a little embarrassed look.

He gathered his scarf and thought about his words: "On the way to do the commission, I came across gin and vodka. Then... when I was about to arrive at Moon Shadow Island, there was an explosion there.

"Later, I sneaked into the police team and went to the island to have a look. I felt that this matter might have something to do with the organization, so I gave up the entrustment and returned."

While listening to it, Amuro Toru's eyes subconsciously fell on Jiang Xia's hand that gathered the scarf, feeling that something was wrong.

...By the way, Jiang Xia occasionally wore a scarf before, but he usually took it off as soon as he entered the house.Why have you come in for so long today and are still surrounded.

Toru Amuro picked up the remote control, turned on the air conditioner, and asked casually, "Aren't you hot with so much on?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xia glanced down at herself, unbuttoned her jacket a little, and left the scarf untouched: "...it's cold today."

Toru Amuro: "..." There is a problem.

He nodded calmly, pretending to agree with Jiang Xia's words.

Then he bent down and put the remote control back on the table. When he lifted himself up, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the suspicious scarf.

After Jiang Xia was stunned, he recovered and grabbed Toru Amuro's wrist to "try to stop". At the same time, Toru Amuro had already successfully grabbed the scarf and pulled it down forcefully.

The soft scarf was pulled down a lot, revealing a thick black punk-style necklace with a fancy silver pattern printed on it.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

He suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, when he stayed up late to go out on a mission, and on the way back after squatting to watch the target, he once ran into Jiang Xia riding a motorcycle late at night.

At that time, Toru Amuro happened to be with some police subordinates. Since it was inconvenient for him to show up, he wanted his subordinates to detain them and give some ideological education to the underage detectives who were speeding and covered their license plates... As a result, three modified cars were dispatched. He just couldn't catch up with one, and was even run over by Jiang Xia on the roof of the car.

... So now, when he saw this unique necklace, the first thing that flashed in Amuro Toru's mind was - Jiang Xia is no longer satisfied with secretly driving in the middle of the night, but even her clothes are moving closer to the direction of bad boys , began to transform in all directions?
...belated rebellious period?

However, after Weisai stared at the necklace in surprise for a while, Toru Amuro gradually felt that this was not the case.

——He came to the office today, not as a sudden attack like a post check, but he had told Jiang Xia that he would come.
