Conan’s Corpse Picker

 Chapter 1973 1973【Surrounded by Uzo's forces】

 Hashimoto Maya: “…” Threat, naked threat!

 …but it works.

Maya Hashimoto: “…” Isn’t it enough if I work seriously? Don't show me this again!

 …

Of course he was not the only one who worked seriously. After seeing the body downstairs, Jiang Xia turned around and rushed downstairs.

 The detective attributes of Conan and Mouri Kogoro allow them to run faster than Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, turned sideways in the narrow corridor, and respectfully let his two colleagues go down first, so that everyone would not be crowded into a ball and fall down.

Behind the scenes, Maya Hashimoto watched this scene silently, as if racking his brains to think of something. After a while, with his hard work, wisps of murderous intent finally emerged, and the ghosts happily pounced on him.

Jiang Xia: "..." Well, although it was a bit perfunctory, compared with Okiya Subaru's extremely poor yield of marshmallows, this person can be regarded as an excellent employee.

 …

 The floor is not high. It didn't take long for Jiang Xia to come downstairs, run to the street, and stop next to the man who fell to the ground.

This man's head has been vaguely deformed, and it seems that he is obviously having a hard time surviving. However, as a prudent detective, he should confirm the death of the deceased before starting to solve the case.

Jiang Xia looked at the pool of blood and didn't want to reach out.

At this moment, Maya Hashimoto stepped forward with a sincere face: "Let me see, I used to be a doctor."

As a new employee who was forced to get involved, Maya Hashimoto's eyes not only focused on this contact, but began to take a long-term view - if you want to appear next to Jiang Xia often and reduce Jiang Xia's suspicion as much as possible, you must have someone. Reasonable motives.

Even if it is impossible not to arouse Jiang Xia's suspicion, it must at least be effective enough. Otherwise, if Jiang Xia is held back every day or stands aside as a decoration, no matter how good-tempered Jiang Xia is, she will probably avoid him in the future. This is obviously not conducive to his work.

 While going downstairs, Maya Hashimoto thought quickly and quickly found his position.

—Jiang Xia doesn’t need anyone’s help in solving the case. As for the closing matter, it is up to the police to handle it.

After counting and counting, a person suddenly popped up in Maya Hashimoto’s mind—Watson.

The doctor who appears next to the great detective Sherlock Holmes and always helps him perform autopsies or save people.

Hashimoto Maya also happens to have studied medicine. Although he is not very proficient, he has studied it after all. If it is not good enough, he can start to make up for it from now on.

At this time, Maya Hashimoto, who had found his position, began to tentatively ask for help.

Jiang Xia was startled, and her gaze turned appreciative as she looked at him: "I'm sorry to trouble you, remember not to touch places where fingerprints can be left, and don't let your hair fall out, so as not to interfere with the police's evidence collection and judgment."

Maya Hashimoto: “…” Wait, why do you say this as if the people on the earth are already dead?

This sudden thought gave him a slight jolt in his heart.

But looking down at the man lying down, Maya Hashimoto gave up his suspicion: the head was a bit deflated, and checking the death was just a formality - the female high school student over there had already started to call the police, and After calling the police, the ambulance was not called. This shows that it was not that Jiang Xia knew anything in advance, but that this was a consensus judgment reached by everyone.

While Hashimoto Maya's heart was filled with ups and downs, he checked the man who fell on the ground like a professional, and then regretted: "There are no vital signs." Jiang Xia sighed softly, as if it was a detective's regret for the deceased.

 After that, he did not conduct any personal investigation, and seemed to choose to trust Maya Hashimoto's judgment.

This made Maya Hashimoto feel relieved: it was successful, the plan to quietly join the detective gang as a doctor was successful!

 —But it’s no wonder. Jiang Xia usually likes to recruit people to be detectives.

Furthermore, I heard that all these famous detectives admire Sherlock Holmes. Now that Watson has come to his door, it is normal for Jiang Xia to accept him quickly.

Relaxing thoughts flashed through, and then Maya Hashimoto seemed to see a track hidden behind the wilderness - this mission to get close to Jiangxia seemed to allow him to play freely, but maybe somewhere, everything had already happened. It's already been arranged.

"No wonder Wuzuo gave me this task so directly. He probably expected that Jiang Xia would have no resistance to a doctor like me who took the initiative to join."

Maya Hashimoto murmured a few words in her heart, and suddenly thought of something: "Uzo likes Jiang Xia, maybe because he thinks of himself as Moriarty, so he wants to personally cultivate his own Sherlock Holmes as his opponent.

“The reason why I was sent here was to give Jiang Xia a ‘Watson’. In addition to Watson, I remember that there is actually a relatively famous small group under Holmes - the Baker Street Guerrillas."

 The "Baker Street Guerrillas" were composed of some street children on the streets of London. Because of their low status and young age, they often did not receive attention. It is these humble children who help Holmes collect a lot of information, and can often provide some key intelligence unexpectedly.

so…

Hashimoto Maya's eyes moved and fell on Conan next to him.

Originally, he was just diverging his thoughts and taking a casual look.

Unexpectedly, this sudden glance gave him a glimpse of a creepy look - the little boy with glasses who always appeared next to Jiang Xia was standing in the shadows, staring at him faintly. The child's eyes were full of inquiry, and the arc of light flashing across his lenses sent a chill down his back.

The two sides looked at each other, as if aware of his omission, Conan suddenly smiled at him, looking like an innocent child.

Maya Hashimoto seemed not to notice anything, nodded and looked away.

 Then he shivered with an intensity that no one could see.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Facing such a horrific corpse, can a normal child really smile so brightly?

Why did this guy quietly observe himself just now? !

“The ‘Watson’ beside Jiang Xia was sent by Uzo, but what about the ‘Baker Street Guerrillas’?”

Hashimoto Maya originally thought that a first-grade child who didn’t understand anything could never be Uzo’s minion.

But soon, the Saburo Inozuka who was sometimes honest and sometimes stupid a few days ago, and only occasionally showed a little shrewdness, jumped into his mind.

Maya Hashimoto suddenly realized something clearly.

 …With Uzo, nothing is impossible.

—Inozuka Saburo can lurk beside him for so long without him noticing, so why can’t Conan be Uzo’s subordinate?

 There are very few gifted children, but they are definitely not absent.

Maya Hashimoto was confused for a moment: "Could it be that...he is the 'colleague' that Uzo planned to introduce to me?"
