Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 783 Finished Stripping the Vest

After many investigations by Okiya Subaru, at present, he is more inclined: there is no direct relationship between Jiang Xia and Uzuo.

——Just now, Okiya Subaru asked Masao Koda, and learned that the reason why he asked Jiang Xia to place a commission was that when he went to Mihua Commercial Building, he saw a detective variety show in a passing store, and it happened to be Jiang Xia.

So Okiya Subaru went to that mall.

Then it turned out that it was just a coincidence.

Koda Masao didn't say what he was doing at the mall that day, but Okiya Subaru combined his purpose, looked at the map of the mall for a while, and tried to go to the outdoor goods store on the 5th floor to ask about the situation.Unexpectedly, there was a result—Masao Koda went there to buy a shovel.

Koda Masao looks a lot like the villain in Masked Rider, "Mole Star Man", and he bought something that happens to be used for digging the ground, so the clerk was very impressed with him.

Knowing the destination of Koda Masao at that time, and then re-observing the layout of the supermarket, you can find that it was probably just a coincidence that Koda Masao saw Jiang Xia's variety show at that time - the location of the outdoor goods store happened to be a few days away. Between the elevator entrances, there are many passages to choose from to get there from the parking lot.In addition, in that show, Jiang Xia was only a guest guest, and there were not many scenes.People's pace, being attracted by surrounding products on the way, various accidents... may lead to missing that scene.

In short, Okiya Subaru can't imagine how to make Masao Koda pass by that store at that time and see Jiang Xia's variety show at such a precise time, and then the idea of ​​"find a detective" was born.

... In other words, if this is really a set of plans, then its randomness is undoubtedly very strong.

And Uzo...

Okiya Subaru thought about it seriously for a long time, and always felt that Uzo would not like this kind of chance - the new boss's desire to control is very strong at first glance, and even the newly recruited peripheral juniors have to personally review and teach.In comparison, this low probability is too random.

Of course, considering the possibility that "it was a coincidence that Koda Masao saw Jiang Xia's program in the mall, but Uzuo still has a plan ABCD for Koda Masao to contact Jiang Xia", the cautious Okiya Subaru did a little more research.

Then it was discovered that among the murder cases and commissions that Jiang Xia had handled in the past, quite a few of the victims were ordinary people of no status.

After all, Wu Zuo is a young and promising cadre, and he is usually very busy, so he probably doesn't have time to come and persecute ordinary citizens. After all, no matter how you think about it, this kind of killing plan requires a lot of time for advance observation and precise control.Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wu Zuo to be so talented that he would let people kill people according to his script after just a short meeting and a few words. He is not the legendary villain in the story, haha...ha...

Okiya Subaru: "..."

He was about to flash a relieved smile.

However it failed.

"..." At the end of the day, Okiya Subaru thought, even Uzo's method of instigating the target to kill, he still didn't understand at all.In this case, why do you think Wu Zuo can't create a troublesome case in a short time?

... The so-called endless learning, Okiya Subaru has seen many incredible geniuses in his own research field.

At this time, looking at the geniuses elsewhere, his self-confidence, which was not considered inflated, suddenly shrank into a ball.

……

Walking out of the library where a large number of case newspapers were stored, Okiya Subaru walked down the street with a complicated expression.

Coincidentally, three familiar children ran past him chatteringly - Ayumi Yoshida, Genta Kojima, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.

Okiya Subaru stared at them in a daze, and suddenly thought, if Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo were really in the same group, then the matter of finding the child to touch porcelain by himself, and then leading the bear child to the place where the corpse was buried, is not the same? Uzo's plan?

After all, the child he met happened to be Jiang Xia's acquaintance, which made it hard for him not to think...

"..." Okiya Subaru approached Yoshida Ayumi and the others, carefully formulating a routine.

Then it was discovered that the children were not called out to play by Jiang Xia or any other suspicious person, but they wanted to come out to play by themselves.

In addition, the matter of "playing baseball" itself was a temporary idea-they originally planned to go to Mihua Park to play football, but in the morning, Kojima Motota fell while passing the overpass while holding the ball, and unfortunately the football rolled into the side of a passing truck. In the ceiling.

When the ball was gone, they temporarily thought, why not go to a remote park to play baseball.

...After asking this all the time, Okiya Subaru finally had a preference for the answer to his question.

——There are too many coincidences in this series of events.

and so……

Maybe it's really just a mere coincidence?

Following this line of thought, reverse verification.

Okiya Subaru gradually found other evidence to support this idea.

——If Jiang Xia was really Uzuo's subordinate, then when a group of people gathered at the gate of Mian Guanyi's family just now, Jiang Xia would not have left at all.Surely he would ask a few more casual questions, bring the conversation back to the baseball-playing group, and then try to bring up the actual burial site.

But Okiya Subaru carefully recalled the previous intersection between the two parties.

I found that at that time, Jiang Xia didn't ask any more questions, and didn't make any guiding behavior.

...No matter how you look at it, he is just a detective who doesn't know any extra information and concentrates on the commission.

——This is obviously not in line with Uzo's goal of "promoting the search for the corpse and sending Watanuki Yoshiichi to the bureau as soon as possible".

In other words, Jiang Xia is not at all like the wage earners under Uzo's command—Okiya Subaru doesn't believe that someone can deliberately slow down the progress and paddle in front of Uzo's boss.

In addition, there is one more point.

Jiang Xia's style of solving crimes in the past was "as fast as reading a script"... Thinking about it carefully, this is actually a flaw in itself.

If Jiang Xia is really Uzuo's subordinate and is doing things according to Uzuo's orders, then this kind of drama-free way of reading scripts to solve the case is actually a failure—it's like a series of dramas piled up to the end, and the final chapter opens, The troupe should have presented the audience with the most profound and magnificent performance, revealed the foreshadowing, and given the ending.However, all of a sudden, all the actors left the stage, and all the props were removed. Only the narrator walked over, yawned, flipped open the book, and read the script dryly on the stage. It was still a simplified version without any details...

If Uzo was the director of this scene, he would have been very tolerant if he hadn't rushed onto the stage with Uzi and beat that self-assertive narrator into a honeycomb.

...No matter how you think about it, what Jiang Xia has done is not what a qualified younger brother should do.

Generally speaking, when Wu Zuo and Jiang Xia are related to the case, they will remind people of "scripts".

But there is probably no specific relationship between these two "scripts".It will become like this, just because Jiang Xia originally used this style of solving crimes.
