Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1706 1706 [Uzuo's subordinates] Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)

   Miyano Akemi floated back and forth, stroked her chin and pondered for a while, finally overcame her conscience, and nodded her head reservedly.

   It’s not that he’s greedy, nor does he want to harm Akai Shuichi for food, but the master of the psychic master doesn’t know **** people. This is not exploitation, this is a fair and just transaction. After all, living people don’t need murderous intent, so it’s better to give them to those in need.

  Jiang Xia was not surprised by her choice, he touched Miyano Akemi's head, and suddenly remembered another thing.

  Jiang Xia went to the window and drew the curtains, then dragged Matsuda Jinping, who was still busy arranging the murderous smell of smoke, out of the tattoo space and threw it into the puppets.

   Soon, "Uzo" was taking shape in the house.

  Jiang Xia possessed him and dialed Okiya Subaru, like a good boss who cares about the health of his employees after dinner: "Did you get home safely?"

   "I have returned to Tokyo as you said." Okiya Subaru's voice was a little erratic, with a kind of daze that just came back after swimming around the ghost gate.

   After a pause, he remembered his task of "leading Jiang Xia to the scene of the crime anytime and anywhere": "By the way, I am in the same car as Jiang Xia and the others, and Jiang Xia has also arrived in Tokyo."

  Jiang Xia: "..." In the car with me? Your sense of presence is really low enough that I didn't notice it.

  ...Speaking of which, even you are here, why is there no case in the car? Are you tired too?

  Jiang Xia is not very satisfied with the performance of Conan and Okiya Subaru on the road.

  On the other side of the phone, Okiya Subaru couldn't hear him, so he had to figure out what he wanted.

  He hesitated: "Do you want me to go to Jiangxia to stand by? Now he seems to have gone home, I don't know if he will go out today."

  Jiang Xia almost nodded.

But remembering that this subordinate is now going to catch Akai Shuichi, it is best to let him return to his normal life temporarily, so he regretted: "You go back to the apartment and live, don't cover up when you go in and out, usually write papers and have a meeting, and then go shopping. Shopping, how do you come here every day—if Shuichi Akai contacts you on the way, just tell him that I want to have a chat with him."

  Although Shuichi Akai sometimes killed people without blinking an eye, he was working as an undercover agent in an organization at that time.

   Now, facing a Subaru Okiya who was imprisoned by him, how could he give someone a chance to speak, so he didn't have to worry about the life-threatening of the marshmallow boy he brought back.

   Mentioning the younger brother, Jiang Xia is in a good mood: "By the way, I found you a colleague, and you should get along very well."

  Okiya Subaru remembered the meaning revealed in his words before, and his eyes darkened: "...you mean Mr. Akai?"

  Jiang Xia: "He is not yet, but when he comes back, we should talk about it—you should get along well by then."

  Okiya Subaru: "..." Say goodbye.

   I don’t know if Mr. Akai will feel embarrassed when he thinks of his "perfect escape plan". Anyway, when Subaru Okiya thinks that he will finally succumb to Uzo’s despotic power, he wants to find a crack in the ground and sneak in. Thinking about the future meeting scene, I always feel very suffocated.

   But fortunately, it sounds like Mr. Akai is still safe now, and was not murdered by Uzo because of his arrest.

  Although the plan made by Akai Shuichi and his FBI teammates was completely useless, Okiya Subaru was not too angry: after all, their opponent was the devil-like boss, and the crushing defeat was not their intention, and it was barely forgivable.

  …but wait.

  Since the "commonly compatible subordinate" that Uzo mentioned is not Mr. Akai, who else could it be?

  During this trip to England, has anyone else been murdered by Uzo?

  Thinking of someone who has experienced the same terrible thing as himself, Okiya Subaru felt strangely relieved, and then a trace of sympathy surged up.

  He suddenly hoped to see that person soon, so that someone could distract Uzo from the deadly attention that Uzo put on him in the future.

  —A person who suffers suffers. If two people suffer, they can scold the unscrupulous boss together. Of course, I can only whisper a few words in my heart at most... But that is much better than struggling alone now.

  …

  Jiang Xia asked his younger brother to explain the matter, scattered the puppets, tidied up, and prepared to start the live broadcast to build momentum.

  The live broadcast is carried out online, and then it will be edited into a video, which will be broadcast on the program at the right time.

   Today happens to be Monday, and school has already started. You can go to the school to see the situation.

   But according to the program group, they seem to want to shoot the interior of the school in detail tomorrow. Today, let’s take a look at the places Jiang Xia often goes to, so that the audience can have a basic idea of ​​the detective’s daily life.

  So after negotiation, the initial shooting was decided in Mihua Town.

  …

   When the time came, Jiang Xia packed up her things and went out to a nearby coffee shop.

  —Although he doesn't mind his address being exposed, the program crew is worried that fanatic fans will come to him because of this. So in the end, they made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop in Mihua Town.

  Jiang Xia searched along the address, and just after turning the corner, he saw the shooting team sent by the program group at the entrance of the coffee shop.

  The TV station's car stopped on the side of the road, and nearly ten people got out.

  On the sidewalk, the radio, the lighting, and the lights all performed their duties, surrounded by a young and beautiful female star. And next to the female star is... a... er, a giant cat doll—the kind of guy who wears a doll costume and blows out balloons that often appear in amusement parks.

  Jiang Xia stopped and looked at the huge fake cat: "...?"

   Didn’t it mean that the host is a man and a woman? Why did the male host suddenly change to a cat?

   "This is our live broadcast mascot today, Mr. Mihua!"

  Yoko Kinoshita changed into a youthful attire close to the students, smiled and said something to the camera, interacted with the audience from time to time, and was warming up the scene.

  Suddenly found Jiang Xia approaching, she waved her hand happily, and said to the camera: "Our protagonist has appeared."

  Although the doll cat standing on the street was a bit strange, Jiang Xia still walked over with a natural expression, as if one of the hosts originally appointed by the program group was a cat doll.

  The general flow of the live broadcast has been arranged, but just to prevent the audience from being confused, after Jiang Xia shook hands with Yoko Kinoshita and the fake cat, he deliberately asked about today's schedule in front of the camera.

  …

   "Introduction to my daily life?"

"Yes." The cat spoke. His voice sounded like a child's, and it was transformed with a voice changer—it's not Dr. A Li's high-end product that can change whoever he wants, but his voice is smooth and smooth. Others couldn't tell the original voice, "Let's see what kind of school has cultivated talents like you."
