Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 778 Beg for a Monthly Ticket ( ` )
Okiya Subaru: "!!"

Thinking about the unintentional evaluation of the media, and thinking about the way Uzo completed the task, Okiya Subaru suddenly had some kind of horrifying association.He accidentally tripped over the curb under his feet and staggered two steps before regaining his footing.

Ahead, the little mixed-race girl next to Jiang Xia heard the movement and turned her head to look at him in surprise.

When his eyes fell on Okiya Subaru's glasses, he seemed to think that this kind of thing was normal for a myopic eye who was driven crazy by the thesis. Haibara turned her head back and continued to walk. way.

"That... I'm a little worried about that gentleman just now, I always feel that he will act impulsively." Okiya Subaru made an excuse casually, and said to Jiang Xia like an enthusiastic passer-by, "I can't help much in investigating the case. I'm busy, why don't you go and have a look at him... If you need any help, you can come to me anytime."

Jiang Xia nodded, grabbed the three brats who wanted to slip away with Okiya Subaru, and glanced at the back of Okiya Subaru leaving.

...Just now, the expression of the new subordinate was a bit strange, and there was a vague sense of familiarity.

Jiang Xia recalled it carefully, and found that the appearance of Okiya Subaru just now was similar to the expression he had when he suddenly found out that "Uzo is not a good person", as if he had broken some great secret...

"..."

...This guy with glasses who loves to think a lot, isn't he trying to take off his vest?

Jiang Xia touched his chin, and thought about it from the perspective of Okiya Subaru, feeling that this is not a simple matter.

——First of all, unless Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai were promoted to a position like Gin within a year, there would be no information about "Exia=Uzo" at all.

As for the connection between "Wu Zuo" and "Jiang Xia"...

There are many coincidences in the world. It is not unreasonable for a crime-solving genius and a behind-the-scenes man to exist in Tokyo at the same time. From the perspective of the world, it is quite reasonable.After all, where there is black, there is white, and where there is light, there is darkness——Jiang Xia can be a top detective who has vaguely noticed the clues left by Wu Zuo, but there is no real evidence yet, so he has to investigate silently by himself.

... Even if you dig deeper, everything will still be borne by "Uzo".

For example, in order to improve the efficiency of his mission, Wu Zuo deliberately provided clues to get the detectives involved... If he digs deeper, he will at most find out that "Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo's subordinate, usually a detective finds the case and solves it by himself. Experience life, help Wu Zuo solve a case at a critical moment, and experience work".

Even this most superficial layer is far from easy to dig.

Even if Okiya Subaru or Akai Shuichi really dug it out, the FBI is not an island country police, they even get tourist visas, and if they are not careful, they will be deported back to the country—without conclusive evidence and only relying on guesswork, " Jiang Xia" and "Akai Hideichi + Okiya Subaru" are placed in front of the police at the same time, no matter how they think, the police here will arrest the latter first.

……

Jiang Xia meditated while walking.

The only thing that makes people curious now is how much Akai Hideo knows about "Jiang Xia".

——The status of "peripheral member" of "Jiang Xia" is indeed not a secret among some people.

But no matter how bad the secrecy is, he is a member of a mysterious organization after all, and no one has publicized it with a loudspeaker.

And when Jiang Xia started contacting the Miyano sisters, Akai Hideo had left the organization early in the morning and went to the United States.Usually, it is estimated that Akai Shuichi does not have time to pay attention to a peripheral paddling employee.Even if Akai Shuichi gossips a bit and learns this piece of information, at most he suspects that Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo have a little connection, so he returns to the previous speculation... huh?

...Speaking of which, if Akai Shuichi felt that "Jiang Xia" was also Wu Zuo's subordinate, would he take the initiative to come to him?

After all, comparing "Jiang Xia" with "Okiya Subaru", Okiya Subaru who is "always a marginal member", and Jiang Xia who is "although a bit marginal, but at least an ancestral member", no matter how you think, Jiang Xia has more information , Better promotion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help feeling a little bit excited:
If Akai Shuichi is really so considerate, then I don’t have to drive the cat so hard and follow Okiya Subaru all over the city-although the murderous energy consumed by the cat vest is very small, if it is too far away from the main body, it will still consume a whole lot of energy. A heart-wrenching ration.

However, the heartbeat belongs to the heartbeat.

Jiang Xia recalled Okiya Subaru's cautious and thoughtful character, and felt that he could not be too active.If you sell the flaw directly to Okiya Subaru, it will be like fishing with a straight hook, which is easy to cause bad things.

To be on the safe side, I have to be patient and take my time...

Regarding this matter, even if "Jiang Xia" loses the vest of "Uzuo's subordinates" one day, he still cannot stand on the same side as Uzuo.Instead, it should be a "just subordinate who was persecuted by Uzuo but firmly opposed to Uzuo in his heart".

——Since it is the main body, of course we still have to rely on the good person.

After all, although the black side has a lot of murderous intent, but on the red side, they can also pick up a lot of useful resources.The fact that the red team does not share information now does not mean that they will never communicate with each other. No one wants to only do multiple-choice questions when they can "have everything" with a little more effort.

Moreover, although Shuichi Akai is good at Jeet Kune Do, in modern society, it is true that hot weapons are more preferred by pegs.

What Jiang Xia wanted to see was Shuichi Akai who came to meet him face to face, who could be squeezed into murderous aura, and who could be easily stuffed into a sack and carried away.He didn't want to be hundreds of yards away from the silver bullet of the sniper rifle.

……

Conan and Haibara Ai, although they also felt that Okiya Subaru was a bit strange, but the other party seemed to be under a lot of pressure after all, and so far, there were reasonable explanations for what he said and did.

Therefore, as soon as Okiya Subaru left, the two of them turned their attention away from him and didn't think much about it for a while.

"I don't think you can just listen to one side of the story-if there is conclusive evidence, the police must have searched Yoshiichi Watanuki's yard long ago. The current situation shows that Koda Masao lacks the need to bury the body in Yoshiichi Watanuki's yard. 'The corresponding evidence. Since there is no evidence..." Conan's heart to investigate the case was about to twitch, "Why don't we try to find it first?"

Haibara recalled what Koda Masao said before they separated, and sighed: "His attitude just now should be that he wants to cancel the commission, should he continue?"

Jiang Xia followed her and sighed: "It can't be ignored."

"...?" Hui Yuanai raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, thinking of Jiang Xia's inner leisurely character who loves paddling, and suspected that there was something else hidden in the matter.However, if Jiang Xia doesn't want to talk about it, she'd better not ask questions in front of Conan... In case Kudo Shinichi's thirst for knowledge is aroused, it won't be able to be stopped with just one or two words.
