Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 2012 2012【Did you also discover Uzo? 】

After looking at Maya Hashimoto for a moment, the male colleague suddenly thought of something and said, "You, do you still want to buy that piece of land?"

Hashimoto Maya heard this and glanced at Kurata Seiji, and nodded, not very enthusiastic: He still remembered that this guy just wanted to regard him as a murderer.

Kurata Seiji walked closer and whispered, "How about this? I'll give you the seller's contact information and you can contact me yourself?"

The woman next to me was startled: "This is against the rules."

Kurata Seiji repeatedly waved his hand to her, asking her to talk later. The woman pursed her lips and did not stop him.

Maya Hashimoto glanced at them suspiciously.

 Seiji Kurata had already taken out a business card, wrote the seller's email address and phone number on it, and handed it to him.

Maya Hashimoto hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it. Although I don't know why this guy suddenly changed his attitude, but... Anyway, let's try asking at this address first?

He held the business card and looked at it, and was about to ask, but when he raised his head again, there was no one in front of him.

Looking towards the door, I saw Kurata Seiji dragging his female colleague, and the two of them fled from here.

Hashimoto Maya: "?"

 …Maybe this passerby is also his colleague.

 Forget it, never mind. In short, focus on your own work first, and as for the rest... everything else will wait until you buy the land.

 …

Kurata Seiji pulled the female senior and ran away. After rushing out of the subway station and onto the crowded street, he stopped, leaning on his knees and breathing heavily.

The female senior was also exhausted from the rapid running. She cursed in a low voice: "You are sick! Why are you running so fast?"

Kurata Seiji: "You don't know what is good or bad, but I am saving you!"

 Female senior: “Huh?”

Kurata Seiji glanced behind him from a distance, lowered his voice and said furtively: "Don't you think something is wrong with that guy? You don't know that at noon, the president asked me to prepare two contracts. I planned to kill him severely, but guess what?—The president died before I even got a penny!"

 Female senior: “…?”

Seiji Kurata: "Then in the afternoon, he pestered Kiyomi, but Kiyomi didn't respond. He left angrily. As a result, it was just evening and Kiyomi died!"

 Female senior: “!”

 She touched the goosebumps on her arm and said seriously: "Could it be a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence!" Kurata Seiji waved his hand, "I just planned to provide evidence and send him in, but unfortunately failed. In this case, I can only give him the contact information of the seller first, otherwise What if he finds our agency again and someone in the company dies? I don’t want to be questioned as a suspect again, let alone lying on the ground with a group of people watching.”

The female senior muttered: "If you put it that way, this person is a bit evil. But when it comes to cases, Jiang Xia was also present in both cases."

“…” Seiji Kurata’s mind froze for a moment, and he suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. He said decisively, “Then let’s stay away from him in the future!”

 Female senior: “…”

 She originally wanted to ask Jiang Xia for an autograph, but unfortunately she was dragged away by Seiji Kurata just now. And it doesn't seem appropriate to go back now. The body that fell to the ground just now really scared her. After a moment of hesitation, the female senior did not have the courage to return to the original place: "Okay, but I still think it is a coincidence that Jiang Xia is there. After all, neither the president nor Qingmei offended him..."

 The two people were talking in low voices, walking in a hurry and walking away quickly, as if they were being chased by ghosts.

 …

At the station, the police were still busy cleaning up the aftermath.

"The murderer used an alkaloid poison, which is relatively rare. Not many people use it here. Some South American natives use it on blowdarts. The murderer said she discovered this when she went abroad not long ago. After listening to the tour guide’s introduction to this hunting method, she found it interesting, so she secretly got some back and used them for murder.”

The Mu Mu Police Department was a little lucky and looked at Jiang Xia: "Fortunately, you guessed the location of the poison. Otherwise, this unusual poison might have been missed during the test, which would have been troublesome."

Miwako Sato passed by Jiang Xia during her busy schedule and handed him a pack of wet wipes. She whispered in a voice that could not be heard by the Megure Police Department: "I just saw you secretly looking through the evidence. Go wash your hands later. Don't wash your hands." Take the poison back."

Jiang Xia nodded, pulled out a few, and then handed the wet wipes to Conan: "I just saw you secretly looking through the evidence. Go wash your hands later. Don't bring the poison back."

Haihara Ai, who overheard the conversation between him and Officer Sato: "..."

 …

 The case was over and it was getting late. Jiang Xia sent the two children home without staying any longer.

Maya Hashimoto left halfway, and Jiang Xia didn't stop her: today, both the murderous intent and the case were far beyond the previous level, and I can leave work with honor.

 Unfortunately for Maya Hashimoto, getting off work is only temporary, while a new job is permanent.

 Before it was too late, he edited an email and sent it to the email address provided by Kurata Seiji, and then quietly waited for a reply.

I thought it would take three to five days, or even half a month, to receive a reply like before.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, there was an additional email in his mailbox - the widow who owned the land sent him a reply and invited him to the mansion for a detailed discussion.

 Hashimoto Maya: “…”

"This is going too well. Could it be that Seiji Kurata gave me a fake email address and planned to persecute me or even murder me?"

 Maya Hashimoto suspiciously investigated the address given in the email, and then discovered that it was actually the mansion of Asahi Katsuyoshi.

 “It’s not right, it’s still wrong.” Ever since Maya Hashimoto knew that Uzo existed in the world, she has been in a state of suspicious vigilance every day:

"It's a worthless land in the heart of the sea. She doesn't need to pay attention to it at all. She can just find someone to come and send me away. But why did she invite me to her home to discuss it in detail? - Could it be that some murder case was prepared there? Let me go and take the blame."

Hashimoto Maya was very hesitant.

 But for the land that Uzuo was interested in, he had no choice but to go as promised.

Before leaving, he seriously thought about whether to ask Jiang Xia to come with him, but then he thought about it, black is black and white is white, and the task given by Wu Zuo, it felt unlucky to take Jiang Xia there. Now he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and just wanted to capture this place as quickly as possible.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself this time." Maya Hashimoto silently set Jiang Xia's mobile phone as a speed dial, always ready to hold the detective's thigh to save his life when he was wronged. "It's not a big problem! At worst, I'll take Saburo Inozuka with me. Together, even if something happens, as long as I run faster than my teammates, it’ll be fine.”

In the distance, Saburo Inozuka is taking a leisurely vacation: Ah sneeze!
