Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 502
Now it seems that there should be something very heavy in the bag that would hinder the escape, otherwise the man would not just carry one and leave the other.

As for what's inside...

Combined with the news he heard last night, Conan vaguely speculated.

As a child who seemed to be only 7 years old, Conan consciously took on the responsibility of violating the law and discipline—he walked over and opened the dead man's bag.

Seeing what was exposed inside, he was slightly taken aback.

——The bag is full of stacks of [-]-yen bills.The corners were stained with blackened blood, and some piles were more than half soaked.As soon as the waterproof backpack was opened, a rotten smell rushed towards him, and Conan covered his nose and stepped back a little.

Jiang Xia passed him and looked at the money inside:
"I remember the news just now that the victim of the burglary was the leader of a violent gang, and he was robbed of a total of [-] million yen in cash... It seems that's all."

[-] million yen is enough for Gin Jiu to do a vote himself, and I don't know if it can be exchanged for a task list if it is handed over to the organization.

It's a pity that Toru Amuro is right next to him. The money can only be handed over to the police, and then returned to the heir of the leader of the gang, depending on the situation. It always feels a bit wasteful...

Um?and many more.

Strictly speaking, "Uzo" also happens to be on the hill right now.

Jiang Xia, who is serious about being a detective and intends to leave the organization and become a good person, of course cannot do such a thing of following criminals to collect money.

...but Uzo can.

Speaking of which, if you want the "fake Uzo" to act instead of him and use the organization's resources in the future, you must first introduce the puppet constructed by Matsuda Jinpei—the virtual person named "Xitu" to the organization, or more Introducing to Gin, to be precise.

Although in Jiang Xia's view, the puppet will never leak secrets.

But for the organization, especially for Qinjiu, which pays great attention to confidentiality, Jiang Xia's behavior of suddenly recruiting an outsider to replace "Uzuo" in the organization, and even share some of the authority of "Uzuo" , undoubtedly leaked the organization's information to unrelated people.

If Qin Jiu is too rigid about the rules, he will shoot Xitu to death as soon as they meet, and then arrange an "elite" who can be trusted by the organization to come over and help Jiang Xia... Then Jiang Xia won't be able to do so with the new vest It came in handy.

In addition, there may be one more insider who knows his identity as an undercover agent, who is forced to expose his vest—Jiang Xia really can't believe the organization and Gin Jiu's vision of picking "elites".

So it's better to bring some greetings to the door.

——The last time in Tottori Prefecture, after his puppet sank the organization's ship, Gin's murderous aura was significantly more evident, which shows that Gin still cares about the organization's funds.

Human behavior is inevitably affected by mood.

If he brought [-] million yen with him when introducing "Xitu", maybe Qin Jiu would not only accept the tool man he found, but also send him a long-lost assassination list, let him see which cases can be solved to rub...

For Jiang Xia, [-] million yen is not much.

Leaving aside the remuneration for being a detective, part-time job, and recording programs; the hundreds of millions he got during the Maple Leaf Gold Coin incident before were not spent at all.And recently, Jiang Xia successively dug up several trucks of gold from the boss's hometown - Twilight Villa, the money was too much to worry about.

... But the source of the money cannot be told to the organization.

The former, Anonymous has come forward.

The latter... Such things as poaching the corners of the boss's house, of course they must be covered if they can be covered.

Unlike the cash in front of me.

The money in front of you can be thrown to the organization as soon as you get it, and the source of the money can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, which is safe and worry-free.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the bag full of cash in front of him, his eyes changed slightly, and he felt that he saw a list of tasks sent by a string of gin.

Amuro Toru and Conan don't know what Jiang Xia is thinking.

The attention of the two serious detectives was still focused on the case in front of them.

"The money is less than 5000 million, but 5000 million is about the same... The other [-] million should be on the man who escaped after the murder." Toru Amuro looked at the blood-stained cash in the bag, and then at the dead man beside him, stabbed in the back woman:
"This couple is probably the robbers who broke into the house. It's just that the two of them had internal strife - when the deceased heard Jiang Xia's name last night, she frightened the spoon in her hand. Maybe she wanted to surrender or run away, but Colleagues do not agree... There are indeed many such things.”

Conan glanced at Toru Amuro vigilantly: Boss Amuro seems to be very familiar with this kind of money packed together, and he can tell that there are not enough money after a cursory scan.Detectives usually don't receive commissions of this amount.Amuro Toru often encountered kidnapping cases before, and the kidnappers demanded a large amount of ransom, or... the other way around?

When two detectives suspect each other.

The door slammed and the client walked in.

Chao Wenzao also went out to find someone just now, but couldn't find him, so he returned to the rest station.

Seeing the corpse on the ground at this time, he was startled: "What's going on?!"

Jiang Xia recovered from the money, turned to look at the murderous client, and explained in a friendly manner:

"Do you still remember the news you heard last night—the robbery murderer was probably the couple we met on the road. Later, they seemed to have a dispute...and then it became like this."

Chao Wenzao frowned, and said in a low voice, "So they are not silver foxes..."

...Even if Silver Fox snatched up a ticket on the spur of the moment when passing by a nearby village, after that, he, or they, would not run up the mountain to do an assassination mission with such a heavy load of dirt on their backs.

Get rid of the lovers, get rid of the male college student who was plotted by the silver fox and unfortunately fell off the cliff, get rid of the hired detective and the detective's classmates, of course, the seven-year-old child is also excluded, and the rest is only Etsuko Torakura, and... that administrator?

Chao Wenzo pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked to the corner, grabbed Etsuko Torakura's bag, and shook it upside down.

The contents of the bag crashed to the ground.

Drinking water, a change of clothes, a few books, notebooks and pens...

No iconic throwing knives, crossbows, or other oddities.It's not like Silver Fox's luggage.

Chao Wenzao glanced at the contents inside, dropped the empty bag, pushed open the door and went out, chasing into the deep forest.

——Torakura Etsuko was also excluded, and the only thing left was the administrator!
"..."

Etsuko Hukura looked at the closed door in surprise, walked to the scattered luggage with a frown, and put back the things she had poured out one by one, a little annoyed: "It's so rude..."

After a pause, she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Xia and his party suspiciously: "The 'silver fox' you just mentioned is..."

Before the words were finished, a group of detectives slowly pushed the door out, chasing after the direction the client left.
