Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1972: 1972【Death Preview】

 Chapter 1972 1972【Death Preview】

It wasn’t until he walked out of the road and came to the bright entrance of the building that Maya Hashimoto suddenly remembered the specific tasks assigned by Uzo.

 — I must observe the environment like that insidious and cunning boss, look for the murderous intention hidden in it, and then think about **** Jiang Xia in a logical way.

For a moment, Maya Hashimoto fell into deep thought: "The murder intention? Let the drunk upstairs fall and kill him, or pray that Jiang Xia slipped and fell when he went upstairs?

“Of course, the most trouble-free and easiest way is to start with food—if Jiang Xia is severely allergic to alcohol and drinks a bottle of beer out of curiosity, the task can be completed directly.

"But for a law-abiding detective in Jiangxia, it will be even harder to trick him into drinking. This plan will not be implemented until two years at the earliest... Alas, in comparison, the task of buying land is still easier to do. If this happens in the future. The mission would be great, but it’s a pity that Uzo can’t fulfill my small request.

"Speaking of which, how about I just hang around for a year and be eliminated when the deadline is up? Then I will have at least one year of fun. But working under Uzo, I may not be able to survive that long."

That's what he said, but soon Maya Hashimoto became alert: the time limit was set by Uzo. Yesterday he said it was one year, but tomorrow it might become one day because he was dissatisfied with his paddling.

Different from all other bosses, in front of Uzo, you must not take advantage of any loopholes that shouldn't be taken - 80% of what you will face after taking advantage of it is not a smooth road, but a scary curly boss with a smile.

 “Mr. Hashimoto.”

 Suddenly a voice sounded next to him.

Maya Hashimoto came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Xia, and saw the detective inviting him: "You're all here, let's go up and sit together, and we'll thank you for buying us wine."

Maya Hashimoto wanted to refuse, but when she turned around, she found that she had been distracted and followed them to the apartment hall, and they were at the stairs.

Maya Hashimoto: “…” Maybe this is fate.

Thinking of Uzo's mission, Maya Hashimoto simply said: "Haha, okay, I'll bother you, I also want to make more Japanese friends."

As he walked upstairs, Conan lagged behind. The suspicion in his eyes was so strong that it was about to flow out—who in the right mind would follow a friend to his home after meeting him by chance?

Even with the identity of "foreigner", Hashimoto Maya's Japanese seems to be getting better and better. Conan seriously suspects that this guy originally lived in Tokyo and was just using a face with obvious mixed-race features to deceive.

 …This person is too suspicious.

And he seemed to be coming for Jiangxia.

Conan was alert, but also couldn't help but wonder, and thought to himself: "But his attitude is very strange. He doesn't look like the kind of guy who is setting up a conspiracy, and he doesn't have much criminal aura...but more like he can't help himself?"

 Can’t help myself…

Conan suddenly thought of some actors who were forced to take on bad dramas.

A figure in black thought in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the woman in black who showed up at the Maori Detective Agency in the middle of the night and handed him his passport.

I don’t know if he is overthinking it, but he always feels that Maya Hashimoto’s temperament at this time is somewhat similar to that graduate student Subaru Okiya who has not been seen for a long time.

 …

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw Jiang Xia and the others going out and bringing back a stranger.

He stared at his drunken eyes and glanced at Maya Hashimoto. He found that there were no signs of being beaten with a stick on his body, so he suddenly came to the conclusion in his heart: This guy is not like the guy who made a banging noise in the middle of the night as Jun Omura said. The source is probably an acquaintance of that boy from Jiang Xia.

Mouri Kogoro suddenly lost interest in this stranger. He took the beer from Mao Lilan and continued to drink happily with his old classmates.

Jiang Xia sat next to him, looked at the beers neatly arranged on the table, grabbed a can, and played with it in his hand - he had just had a few drinks last night, and he didn't have any strong attachment to wine at the moment. I thought, it's just that this jar is cool and comfortable to hold, and it goes well with the simmering ice black tea next to it.   …

Hashimoto Maya didn’t want to kill anyone at the moment.

Ever since he met Uzo and heard some rumors about Uzo, he has been consciously restraining his murderous intention and trying to become a flawless legal citizen in order to deal with Uzo's minions. 1-Police everywhere.

After all, for a qualified member of an organization, being treated as a murderer by the police is a more fatal problem than being killed by ordinary people.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." When it comes to this, I have to say, fortunately there is Jiang Xia! - As long as he can bear not to kill anyone, Jiang Xia can help him clear himself of the crime of murder and bring him back from the brink of being silenced.

Thinking of this, the murderous aura that he had finally suppressed suddenly shrank back.

Jiang Xia, who was sitting aside and staring intently: "..."

It is very dissatisfied with Hashimoto's murderous speed, thinking about how to spur this lazy younger brother.

At this moment, there was a clear "click" sound nearby, as if a piece of glass had broken.

Jiang Xia listened and looked up at the utility room on the side: "It seems to be the sound coming from over there."

Omura Jun's hand holding the beer can stiffened, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He got up and went to the hut. When he opened the door, he saw a big hole in his window. Glass shards splashed in from the outside, as if they were smashed open by something heavy, but strangely, there were no stones or anything like that falling on the ground.

Jiang Xia also walked over.

He stood at the door and just took a look inside. Before he could enter the house to take a closer look, a shout suddenly came from the street outside.

 “Ikuta?” someone shouted, “What are you doing lying here? Wake up!”

Hashimoto Maya suddenly felt a thump in her heart when she heard the sound coming from.

He quickly walked to the balcony, looked out, and saw two figures in the darkest part of the streetlight.

One of the people was lying on the ground, whether he was drunk or suddenly ill. The other person was squatting next to him, as if he was checking his condition in the dark.

 It was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

 But at this moment, a car happened to drive by. The car noticed something unusual and slowed down.

The bright car lights shine on the street, illuminating the scene below.

Downstairs, the man lying on the ground had his eyes wide open, his head was vaguely deformed, and a large amount of blood spilled from his facial features - he was not drunk, nor did he die suddenly, but he seemed to have been hit by a heavy object on the side of his head and was crushed to death in the street. .

The place where he fell to the ground happened to be the place where Maya Hashimoto passed by yesterday and stopped briefly.

What was playing in front of him was like another development in parallel time and space, a follow-up of Maya Hashimoto who would rather die than surrender to Uzo. For a moment, Maya Hashimoto seemed to be shocked when she saw the corpse lying downstairs. became himself.
