Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 769

——It should be that when Yoshiichi Mianguan buried the things, he was afraid that he would get old and forget the exact location of the things, so he threw a cosmos here to guide himself.

Okiya Subaru thought instinctively while squatting down, picked a very narrow area according to the place Uzo pointed out, dug carefully, and placed the dug up soil next to it in order.

Not long after digging, he suddenly felt something hard hit the tip of the shovel.

Okiya Subaru was stunned, put the soil and folding shovel aside, and switched to digging with his hands, so as not to damage objects that could be used as threats.

Under the slightly damp soil, a strangely shaped object was soon revealed. It looked like a round hole as a whole, with dirty impurities attached to it, and white could be seen faintly in the exposed place.

"...?!"

Okiya Subaru glanced suspiciously, his movements froze suddenly, and his heart started beating violently.

He suddenly understood what he had dug up.Shriveled eye holes, sunken nose—that was half of a face that had been rotten enough to reveal part of the bones.It looked like a woman, the dyed hair was tangled and covered the side of the face, stained with dirt, dirty and frightening.

It is the instinct of most people to feel fear and disgust towards the corpses of the same kind.

While the palms of Okiya Subaru were sweating, he instinctively wanted to back away.

However, before he got up, a hand suddenly placed on the back of his neck, interrupting his escape plan.

——Wu Zuo squatted halfway beside him at some point, like an ethereal wraith, full of gloom.The hand on his neck was also like a vicious snake, crawling with traces of venom, and finally pinched his artery with his fingertips, and pressed him firmly with his palm, allowing him to follow the hollow pair on the ground. eye sockets.

"I am a person who trusts and takes care of my subordinates very much, so I hope that my subordinates can repay me with the same loyalty." Jiang Xia turned his face to look at Okiya Subaru, and recalled the common process when big bosses recruit younger brothers on TV, Start talking nonsense, pretending to give a stick and a date:

"I read your past resume. You seem to dislike killing people very much. It can be seen that we are like-minded—that kind of brutality without aesthetic feeling is simply a blasphemy against life."

"..."

Okiya Subaru was forced to look affectionately at a dead body.He thought about what Uzuo said just now, and then thought about how he was sitting and drinking tea with Hideo Akai a few hours ago, wondering if he was going to be buried here side by side.

But after all, he is still young and has a strong desire to survive. He quickly smiled and forcibly maintained his composure: "...It is an honor to have the same taste as you."

"..." Jiang Xia nodded secretly, very good, although the new boy looked a bit weak, he finally didn't kneel down and say something like "Please forgive me, I have the old and the young" and so on to destroy the atmosphere lines.

He let go.He turned his head and glanced at the ghost.

The ghosts shook their heads at him in disappointment.

——There is still no murderous intent lurking nearby.

"..." When tearing up Yirong in the coffee shop just now, I didn't detect Akai Shuichi around, and I could barely interpret it as "the way of tearing up the face is too gentle to arouse murderous intent".

But now, he looks like he wants to bury people on the spot, but he still doesn't...

Jiang Xia glanced at the new little brother next to him with complicated emotions, and withdrew his hand.

No one continued to press Subaru Okiya, but he still didn't dare to get up, he froze in place, staring at the corpse on the ground.

"Okay, let's bury it back." Uzo patted the dust off his hands, his tone brisk, "As a gift to celebrate our meeting—use this piece of information well. This is to make Watanuki Yoshiichi "disappear" from society key."

Okiya Subaru: "..."

He moved like a rusty machine, slowly shoveling and filling the soil in sequence, and restored the small hole he dug.

During this mechanized movement, Okiya Subaru suddenly remembered what he had heard about Uzo before.

——It is true that Uzo seldom kills with his own hands.But the targets he is following will always inexplicably go to death one by one, or become irritable and impulsive, kill others, and go to a miserable situation where life is worse than death.It is said that even cadres who are equally astute cannot escape his clutches.

After all, we are discussing the gossip of the ruthless cadres. No one dares to be too aboveboard. The things about Wu Zuo are also spread in a single line in the form of "I will tell you a secret and you must not tell others". The specifics of the rumors The provenance has been difficult to verify.A more reliable statement is that it came from a cadre who had a competitive relationship with Uzo and was unfortunately targeted by Uzo, and then fought wits with Uzo and escaped several times...

Okiya Subaru could only feel that the pores of his whole body were exuding a chill of fear - even such a powerful cadre would regard Uzuo as a wolf, but just now he felt that Uzuo was a good person of the peace faction.

——Although Uzuo took him to find the female corpse, it can also be interpreted as "When Mianguanyi buried the corpse, Uzuo happened to pass by and saw it".

But no matter how you think about it, it's too much of a coincidence.

Compared with the vague answer of "Uzo is lucky", combined with Uzo's reputation, there is obviously another more reliable explanation.

——The reason why Watanuki Yoshiichi wanted to kill the underground woman was because he was influenced by Uzo unknowingly.

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru realized more and more that he had misunderstood just now.

It turns out that in Wu Zuo's dictionary, the extended meaning of "Killing is simple and rude" is not "Don't kill", but "Killing fancy is the best use."

"..."

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru raised his wrist and helped the glasses frame that had slipped off due to cold sweat, thinking that it was time for him to change a pair of glasses.

Before, he thought that among the many reckless peripheral members, he could be regarded as a brain who is good at knowing people and has some strategies, but now...

……

Fear is not a pleasant experience, but it can indeed stimulate people's desire to survive and increase work efficiency several times.

Okiya Subaru quickly filled the soil, filled the top layer of soil that was dug out just now back to the top, compacted it, and then carefully covered it with the surrounding floating soil.

In the process of dealing with the aftermath, he looked at the shadow cast by Uzo on the ground next to him, and suddenly felt that the difficulty of his way of survival had been raised to S rank for no reason.

…In addition, Uzo specifically mentioned "trust" just now. Is it simply to express his expectations for his subordinates, or has he discovered that his new subordinates are changing in the direction of Erwuzi, so he is warning him?Even... he has become Wu Zuo's target? ?

"..." No, no matter how talented you are, you must pay attention to the basic law.

Uzo is really good at analyzing and inducing other people's psychology, but he can never read minds.
