Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 427 Steps to Take Off Uzo's Vest

The wheels of the Beidouxing train could not be inflated, but the trip was delayed due to another reason. This is similar to the situation of the previous vehicles with a flat tire... Toru Amuro's thinking unconsciously shifted a little in some directions , but quickly got back on track and continued to check back.

In the second spider mansion incident, Jiang Xia and that impolite Osaka high school student detective were present.When two high school detectives get together, it's no wonder that something goes wrong... Boom.

Toru Amuro tapped his forehead with his fingers, stopping this kind of judgment that was purely based on experience and intuition.

...Compared to high school student detectives, what is more noteworthy in this incident is obviously the lost puppets and client lists—according to the reasoning given by Hattori Heiji, the killed Patriarch Takeda may be engaged in drug trafficking activities.

...In this way, the murderer in the first case also said that the store manager he killed was secretly selling drugs.

Moreover, Jiang Xia didn't solve the case in the spider mansion incident, but just left Takeda's house...

Combining these elements, Toru Amuro vaguely felt that the case at the Spider Mansion might be related to the organization.I just don't know what role Jiang Xia played in it.Did they participate in the mission; or did they discover the clues, or were warned, so they actively avoided conflicts like they did on Moon Shadow Island?
Looking further down, the third case—the Xingxing murder case that happened almost at the same time as the case in the Spider Mansion—made Amuro feel a little relieved.

This time, neither the deceased nor the murderer had anything to do with drugs, and they were no longer related like the previous two incidents.

And the fuse of this murder was a murder that happened a year ago.Regardless of the time or the nature of the case, it has little to do with the organization, and it should be just an ordinary murder case.

In addition, there is another thing that makes people worry - besides Jiang Xia, the witnesses in this case actually include Jiang Xia's neighbors and several children... Why does Jiang Xia always meet acquaintances when she goes out?
In other words, when I was on a business trip, I seemed to meet Jiang Xia by chance, and usually around that time, I would run into Jiang Xia's classmates or neighbors together.There are so many coincidences around Jiang Xia, and his luck is indeed a bit strange...

Toru Amuro thought while continuing to look down.

The fourth case was the electrocution homicide on the Haiyuan.

Amuro looked very carefully.

Because of Jiang Xia's previous narration, this "Haiyuan" seems to be very valued by Wu Zuo, and even gin and vodka are also arranged to take the boat. There may be some important secret hidden on it.

But after careful reading several times, this case also had nothing to do with drug trafficking, and the boat seemed to be just an ordinary boat.

The only suspicious thing is that the hands and feet of the deceased President Yamazaki in the case are not very clean, but this level of wealth and crime is not enough for the organization to regard him as the target of the mission.

Toru Amuro looked at the ready-made information obtained from the police, and became more and more confused about the arrangement of Uzo and Gin. He couldn't figure out what plots this ship had for him.Is this actually part of a larger plan?

After the limelight is over, I have to ask my subordinates to check it carefully.Now I can only stare at it from a distance, so as not to expose myself...

Toru Amuro went through some of the files thoughtfully, and then his eyes fell on the last piece of information.

——The explosion at the Moonshad Isle Community Center.

In this incident, Jiang Xia was also involved.But very marginal.

Before and after the explosion, Jiang Xia had an alibi for a long time—from the moment the ship docked, Jiang Xia had been surrounded by police and reporters.Later, when the explosion happened, Jiang Xia was even at the gate of the police station.The latter is indeed the same as what he said just now: he went to the island with the police, and then left in a low-key manner.

After going through it all, Toru Amuro had a general idea in his heart.

——He still prefers Jiang Xia over Wu Zuo.

When in a dream, it is difficult to think rationally, but to connect a few points simply and crudely, that's why he dreamed that Wu Zuo was Jiang Xia.

Now after waking up, after a little deliberation, you will know that the conclusion "Jiangxia = Uzuo" lacks sufficient support.

Uzo's level of secrecy and Gin's attitude have already explained his status in the organization.And this point does not correspond to Jiang Xia's identity at all.

——Toru Amuro has a good idea of ​​the cadres in Tokyo who can get mixed up with Gin on missions.

Therefore, in his opinion, Uzo, the "new face" that he had never heard of, was unlikely to be a member who used to be active in Tokyo.It is more likely that the resident cadres from Tottori, or parachuted to Tokyo from other places.

Jiang Xia lived in Tokyo since childhood.

In addition, there is another possibility—Uzo is not a foreigner, but was discovered in Tokyo, and was quickly promoted because of his outstanding ability.

...But no matter how "fast", there should be a year or two for precipitation and investigation, and in that way, Uzo should have already emerged as a peripheral member.

On the contrary, a few months ago, Jiang Xia was a cannon fodder member who was implicated by the Miyano sisters and was almost disposed of by Qin Jiu. If Jiang Xia was really Wu Zuo, at that point in time, he should already have a code name However, Gin couldn't have wanted to kill an official member so hastily at that time.

... Unless Jiang Xia is some kind of genius who is very suitable for the organization, has shown his ability to the organization, has been recognized, and continues to work for the organization.

But in fact, according to Amuro Toru's observation, Jiang Xia is at home, at the office, at the scene of the crime, and on the highway late at night.Occasional business trips are mostly invited by classmates, neighbors, or some lottery tickets... In short, he has no time to do the tasks of the organization at all, and there is no sign of doing the tasks.

Also, regarding the reaction of vodka and the doubts about the "organization's method of restricting Uzo"... Toru Amuro feels that it is still as he thought before—according to the organization's consistent caution, if he wants to restrict members of Uzo's level, Organizations will inevitably adopt a more long-term, stable and effective approach.

Instead of using a necklace that may fail at any time due to distance, signal blocking and other reasons.

also……

Toru Amuro flipped through the mail again, and his eyes stopped on two of the cases.

——The Star Murder Case,

And one day later, the electrocution murder case on the tour boat.

In the previous case, when the reporter interviewed, Jiang Xia was still wearing normal clothes, with her neck exposed and nothing on it.

But in the interview after the electric shock incident on the boat, Jiang Xia had a cute and fluffy scarf around his neck. Although the scarf was carefully arranged by him, the shape of the scarf was barely harmonious, but the overall pattern and style of the scarf really didn’t match the clothes. It should be borrowed from someone temporarily to cover up the "necklace".

In this way, it is even more impossible to equate the "necklace" with "the way the organization restricts Uzo"—even if the "necklace" is a very stable black technology, its restriction should start from the very beginning of the task Go ahead, rather than rushing to apply such patches halfway through.

As for the high degree of overlap between Jiang Xia and Qin Jiu's itinerary... Certain elements on Moon Shadow Island attract organizations and detectives.And as long as the destination is the same and the time when the conflict erupts is the same, then Jiang Xia and Qin Jiu also set off from Tokyo, and it is normal for their trajectories to overlap.

In addition, Toru Amuro couldn't imagine that if Jiang Xia was Uzuo, why would Uzuo, a cadre, go to work in his office incognito?

Moreover, as a "loyal" member of the organization, there is no need for Uzo to do everything possible to hide his identity from "Bourbon"... unless the organization has already become suspicious of Bourbon, and the purpose of sending Uzo over is to obtain some tangible evidence .

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro paused in thought.

Although this possibility is very small, if it is the case... the loss will undoubtedly be very heavy.

... Although he felt that Wu Zuo was not Jiang Xia, it was necessary to verify it again just to be on the safe side.
