Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 789
But Okiya Subaru quickly thought about it again.

——I actually didn’t do it on purpose, when Wu Zuo asked him to dig down there, he didn’t even know that there was a corpse buried there... It’s okay, calm down, there are no ghosts in the world, even if there are, they will be given priority Find someone else, such as a black hand behind the scenes or something...

Okiya Subaru thought about his new boss, and in addition to being afraid, he felt a strange sense of security—the ghost should have no time to make things difficult for him, a little wage earner, before killing Uzo.According to the legend, ghosts are afraid of being tortured by evil people, no matter how you look at it, Uzuo looks very capable of suppressing ghosts...

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru gradually felt relieved.

He wrapped his windbreaker tightly, tidied up his scarf, and made an appointment with the police to make a record.

I asked for another Jiang Xia's business card, and then I was going to say goodbye to this detective who is good at solving cases and has a good relationship with them "Uzoryu", and went to catch up on the paper.

But when he raised his head to say hello, Okiya Subaru suddenly found that Jiang Xia looked at him in a strange way—although he quickly covered it up, Okiya Subaru always felt that there was a little bit of inquiry hidden in the young detective's gaze and alert.

Okiya Subaru was slightly taken aback, and his first reaction was: what did those two witty kids say to Jiang Xia, such as peeking at his mobile phone screen... which made Jiang Xia feel a little disgusted with him.

But soon, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but think again, if even a child thinks he is suspicious, maybe Jiang Xia also...

Wu Zuo's warning of "if exposed, bury it in the ground consciously" flashed through his mind, and his scalp was slightly numb.

But I quickly remembered that the day before yesterday, when Wu Zuo talked about "exposed", the specific words were "being caught by the police".

...Thinking about it carefully, why did Uzo add the word "police" instead of using the more common saying of "being caught by others"?
At that time, Okiya Subaru was being held down by Uzo, looking affectionately at the rotting eye sockets of the corpse at close range, and had no time to think about it.

But now, after experiencing all this, he suddenly discovered that there might be some other meaning hidden in Wu Zuo's seemingly casual threat.

——Although it is true that only the police are qualified to arrest people, Uzo’s statement virtually excludes the “detective” among the “people who find something suspicious”, leaving only the “police”.In other words...Jiang Xia has already noticed traces of Wu Zuo's existence, and Wu Zuo has also discovered this?
As soon as this idea popped up, it was out of control.

Okiya Subaru suddenly realized that these two geniuses related to the case happened to be in Tokyo.The more frequent the incidents, the more likely they will encounter them—in this case, perhaps Jiang Xia has already discovered that there are traces of human manipulation behind some cases.

... If Jiang Xia is really as good as the media makes it out to be, then it is very reasonable for him to have this kind of observation.

Especially, if Wu Zuo deliberately led Jiang Xia to the crime scene at some point in pursuit of efficiency or for the sake of character reading the case... then Jiang Xia would definitely be able to find traces of unnaturalness in it.

——Everything has two sides. When a good knife kills the enemy, it is like cutting melons and vegetables, but if one day, the knife suddenly awakens, and when it reverses the user, it will also be like cutting melons and vegetables... Zuo Lai, Jiang Xia is probably such a knife.

Okiya Subaru was a little nervous at first.But soon he thought, this kind of danger that even he can understand, it is impossible for Wu Zuo not to understand, that is to say...

Ok? !

"..." Combined with what Uzo did the day before yesterday, Okiya Subaru suddenly had a guess.

... Could it be that Wu Zuo taught the younger brother to perform the task hand in hand, not only because he is strict.The more real reason is that Wu Zuo wants to push a scapegoat out, and help him take the blame when the matter is really difficult to cover up?

Okiya Subaru: "..." Indeed, in this way, even if one day, Jiang Xia really found evidence that "someone was planning and promoting the murder behind the scenes". People who come into contact with him are more likely to become targets in the eyes of detectives and police.

In other words, the more I imitate Uzo, the more I can stand on my own, the closer I am to being exposed...

Thinking about it, Okiya Subaru couldn't stop sweating even though the weather was still cold... I knew that the workplace would be blamed for a long time, so I have been procrastinating not to work and to devote myself to academics. I didn't expect that in the organization, I would also I have to take the blame!

but……

Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses.

Calm down and think about it, in today's mission, although I inevitably showed some doubts, I was indeed not caught by anyone with "real criminal evidence".

In addition, judging from previous reports and what I have seen and heard today, Jiang Xia is obviously not the kind of death reserve who catches any clues and immediately starts yelling loudly. .

So in the same way, at this stage, even if Jiang Xia is aware of someone behind the case, as long as he has not found evidence, the "behind the scenes" is still safe, at least not attracting the attention of the police.

And this time...

Okiya Subaru touched his chin, and felt that he could be a passer-by who was afraid of trouble just because of today's matter-for example, he witnessed the burial site for some reasons, or found clues in the construction site, but because he didn't want to cause trouble The upper body, so did not call the police, and did not dare to contact the victim's family, so I had to bring a few people over to wait for an opportunity to expose the situation.

Also, although Okiya Subaru has never seen Uzo when he was doing missions, he also knows that in the past, when the new boss hid behind the scenes and stirred up the wind and rain, he must have hidden deeply.

——Therefore, although Jiang Xia will feel suspicious and vigilant about the suspicious "Okiya Subaru", but on the other hand, Jiang Xia may because the characteristics of "Okiya Subaru" and the previous "behind the scenes" do not match, And keenly feel the sense of violation.

In short, as long as you don't repeat the same behavior over and over again, it won't be easy for Jiang Xia to see through.Even if he sees it through... Thinking about the benefits, Jiang Xia may be able to work harder to see through Uzo's conspiracy, and find that Okiya Subaru is just an innocent person who took the blame...

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru has a little bit of confidence to go on.

But after thinking about it, the frequency of his missions, and whether or not he meets Jiang Xia in the missions, are actually not up to him at all.It's all Uzo who is playing tricks behind the scenes... The boss of the organization is really unreliable, so let's hold on to the fbi's thigh and hurry up and get away.

Okiya Subaru was thinking, while facing the suspicious eyes of the detectives behind him, he walked away quickly, secretly yearning for a beautiful country without Uzo.

……

Not long after he left, Jiang Xia also bid farewell to the police and returned to Mihua Town with the two children.
