Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 374 Summary of Gin (Joint Chapter)

   Focused on Jiang Xia's side, and Belmod suddenly had an association:

In order to understand Wuzuo's psychological state, Jin Jiu had passed her a lot of information... Speaking of this, before she came to Japan, Jin Jiu had been urging her every now and then, asking her when she would arrive. , so as to intervene in Uzzo's increasingly dangerous psychological state as soon as possible. Why is she really back in Japan now and can receive Uzo, but Jinjiu doesn't mention it anymore? She also wants to see more about Uzo's state. Although she hasn't found any obvious abnormalities, but...

  Wait, no, that doesn't seem to be the point right now.

  Bermode pressed his eyebrows, turning his thoughts that went astray halfway back to the main topic.

  ... In short, the exclusive information that Gin had passed on to her gave her a deeper understanding of Uzo's "killing" method than ordinary people.

   She knew that Uzo was very good at using the target and those related to the target, combined with the surrounding environment, to quietly lead together a murder that seemed very natural at first glance.

   Judging from the mission records, sometimes, Uzo's boot process cycle is long - some victims are killed or killed suddenly after a few weeks or even a month of contact with him.

   But other times, the cycle is very short: almost an hour ago the target had just encountered Uzo, and the murder would start immediately after an hour.

  Such a short period of time seems unbelievable at first glance, but it seems to make sense when you think about it: In Belmod’s impression, in quite a few cases, the perpetrators who have accumulated a lot of resentment are actually sudden intentions and impulsive murders.

   And most of the prisoners have the desire to survive, and they all want to avoid punishment after killing.

   If at this time, they suddenly have a flash of inspiration due to the actions or conversations of "someone" nearby, find some items that can be used, and then plan a trick to kill, then this short boot cycle is completely possible.

  ... As for how Uzo hinted and made those people "flicker", this should be his secret and talent.

——There has never been a shortage of geniuses of all kinds in the world, and Uzo must be one of them, but the direction of genius is a little bit illegal... Well, in short, if everyone can understand the principle and the process , Uzzo will not be so appreciated by insiders in the organization. So she can't see through the mystery of guidance, which is actually normal.

  To this day, Belmod thinks Uzo's way of killing people is very strange.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the organization had arranged several targeted killing targets or tasks, and Uzzo had completed them one by one on time, she would have never imagined that Uzzo had manipulated the case based on what was reported by the outside world. The organization was lucky, or the deceased was too unlucky.

   At this time, in the studio of Gomera who just died.

  Bermode recalled all the details about Uzzo, and combined with today's events, she suddenly realized that perhaps now, she has experienced the killing methods of Uzzo and accidentally stepped into the layout of his weaving.

——Looking back, you can see that when Bourbon just broke into the studio with a takeaway bag, and then threatened to leave with her, Uzo did not catch up immediately, but after a long period of time, Appear leisurely.

  During this time, Uzo was able to get in touch with other people in the studio, and exerted corresponding influence on those people without any fuss. And then take advantage of the situation here to create some situations that he is happy to see.

   Wuzuo would come downstairs to find them just now. Rather than pulling a frame, it was actually more likely to stop her at the right time and ensure that she could not appear in the sight of the staff before the murder happened. That way, even though she was with Uzo when producer Kamei died, she wouldn't be able to get the "alibi" that came out of Uzo's mouth.

  Thinking of this, Belmod couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Xia next to the policeman with a dignified look.

  It happened that Jiang Xia was also looking at her.

   Looking at each other, Jiang Xia subconsciously raised the corners of his lips and nodded at her, looking quite happy.

  Belmode didn't know if this was her illusion. In short, for a moment, she felt a sense of crisis like a needle prick—when Uzo looked at her, he looked at his prey with the same look. As if in his eyes, Belmod is not a member of the organization that is equal to or even higher than him at all, but a delicious meal.

   Belmod's eyes moved slightly, secretly adjusting his mentality.

  … Just because Uzo's appearance doesn't look threatening, he can't be careless.

   After all, thinking about it rationally, this is a member who has just entered the vision of an organization cadre and has successfully obtained the organization code name, and now, he is not even an adult.

  ——Bermode pursed his lips, trying his best to restrain his instinctive closeness and relaxation every time he saw Uzo, and carefully figured out Uzo's motive for murdering at this time.

  ... Like Gin said, it's because of interest?

   Still don't want to see Bourbon clashing with her, trying to divert attention?

  Interesting, which is full of subjectivity and contingency speculation, will be put aside for now.

   In terms of distraction, it doesn’t seem to have much effect: Uzo probably doesn’t know if she and Bourbon are related or know each other, so it’s hard to determine what actions the two will take when they leave the studio together. If she and Bourbon are determined to do it, when the murder on the top floor happens, there will be a murder downstairs at about the same time, and there is no time to interfere...

The    pull frame may also be temporarily excluded.

  So, there is one possibility left...

   Among the people present, it was obvious that she was the "An Shitou" with a disguised appearance, whose identity was the most insufferable, and she also least wanted to deal with the police.

  ...Could it be that Uzo wanted to take her in during the chaos?

Of course, she didn't kill the poor producer, but as long as the "evidence" and reasoning seemed real enough, she would probably be asked to go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation - the record as a witness is still easy to escape and be regarded as a suspect If people bring it back, it will be troublesome.

If ordinary members of the organization encounter this situation, they may have appeared on the list of silencers received by Jinjiu at this time... Wu Zuo has just joined the organization, and usually rarely contacts the organization cadres, even if he knows "Belmode" "She will be treated specially by the boss, and it is estimated that she lacks a correct understanding and grasp of the actual situation... Is Wu Zuo trying to kill her with a knife?

   Belmod frowned slightly, feeling very complicated.

   On the one hand, she was instinctively angry at the intention to threaten her, and instinctively wanted to fight back.

   But think again about the possible reasons for Uzo to do this...

   The last time she got Uzo drunk and caught her on her bed, Uzo just retaliated by "forcibly stuffing the inconvenient pot beside her".

   But this time, his strike was obviously much harder than before.

   In Belmod's opinion, this must be because when she first met Uzo, she used the pretense of "finding gin's job loopholes" and repeatedly asked about Kudo Shinichi. That time, she was able to use gin as a shield, but the two times she disguised herself into Uzo, she happened to meet the Detective Boys at the same time.

   Therefore, in Uzo's eyes, she must now be an organizational cadre with ulterior motives for the Young Detective Corps... The Young Detective Corps, of course, also includes Kudo Shinichi, who has become smaller.

For a moment, Belmod felt like an undercover undercover being chased and killed by a real teammate. While fleeing in embarrassment, his teeth were itching with anger, and he had to applaud the other party in his heart, praising Uzo's handling method as reasonable and even perfectly suited to her. expectations.

Beside   , Jiang Xia finished answering Officer Sato's question.

   He was about to go to see the paint footprints left by Gomera, put a card near the evidence point, and then check the progress bar of the case.

   But when he turned around, he happened to meet Belmod, who had transformed into Amuroto, and saw Belmod's extremely complicated eyes mixed with anger, relief, entanglement, and helplessness.

   Jiang Xia: "?"

After a brief pause, before he could read and comprehend Belmod's eyes in depth, "Amuro" suddenly looked away, no longer looking at him, but looked at the studio on his own, his eyes falling on him from time to time. At the entrance of the corridor, the prop model, etc., the eyes are condensed, as if thinking.

   Jiang Xia: "...?"

   When he went upstairs just now, wasn't Belmod still a provocative smile after he succeeded in a prank, why did he become so serious in a blink of an eye.

  I really want to crack open the skulls of the brain-filling monsters to see what is inside...

   Jiang Xia shook his head, stopped his dangerous thoughts, and walked to the corpse as originally planned. He planned to take a look at the more important evidence, and first save the materials used to solve the case.

   But this time, he decided to slow down the speed of solving the case and see what Belmode was planning.

  …

  Belmode's goal is very clear.

   She first observed the exits in all directions, and confirmed the worst-case escape plan, which included climbing and leaving along the chassis and bulges on the outside of the floor.

   As for the escape method of "disguising yourself as a passerby when people are not prepared", Belmod didn't think much about it - since Uzo had already made a response, it would never be possible for her to escape so easily.

After    had a bottom line, Belmod shifted his focus to a more peaceful solution.

   - Find the real murderer.

   In her impression, in order not to raise suspicion, Uzo would always start his reasoning after actually looking at all the evidence.

   Compared with other detectives, this period of verification is by no means long, but after all, it is a rare opportunity.

As long as she produces enough evidence to prove the innocence of "Amuroto" during this period of time, her identity can be changed from a suspect to a detective, and she can make an appointment "next time" when she is invited to the police station, and then Dove away and leave everything else to Bourbon.

   Thinking so, Belmod's eyes quickly fell on the direction of the warehouse.

   Gomera starring Matsui Hideo, who was allegedly stabbed in the leg by the gangster, was still sitting there, receiving only a simple bandage.

  Belmaud knew clearly in his heart: In terms of speed in solving crimes, she certainly couldn't compare to Uzo who wrote the script and created the real murderer.

   But fortunately, she also has her own way.

  ——Actually, when he learned that the producer of Kawai was assassinated, Belmod had a rough idea in mind.

  She has worked here several times, and she knows the current situation of the crew better than the police:

   The slain Kamei producer actually offended a lot of people. Among them, he was particularly excessive to Matsui Hideo-in order to persuade the crew to stop shooting, the Kamei producer made up a rumor behind the starring Matsui Hideo.

   He said that Hideo Matsui had approached him in private many times, saying that starring in monster films made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to be an ordinary actor after that. Others considered the same thing for so many years, and it was difficult to refuse. In the end, many factors superimposed, which contributed to the scene of the "Last Gomera" now.

   Matsui Hideo became a traitor to the crew without knowing it.

   A while ago, he learned the truth behind it, so he hurriedly went to the producer of Kamei, and wanted to ask him to help clarify. But at that time, "Gomera's Final Showdown" had long been hyped, and it was too late to change.

  ——When Belmod disguised as Toru Amuro and came here to work, he happened to overhear the conversation between Hideo Matsui and the producer of Kamei, and found that Hideo Matsui had become more and more silent recently.

  Now that the producer of Kamei was suddenly killed, no matter what she thought, she felt that Hideo Matsui was a very suitable material for Uzo to play.

   And once there is doubt in the heart, many doubts will emerge.

   - For example, Hideo Matsui said he was stabbed with a knife by "a man in a Gomera monster suit".

   If I remember correctly, his wound was on his thigh.

   But Gomera is taller than an adult male, and her upper limbs are relatively stubby. If a person wearing a "Gomera" monster costume really attacked Matsui, the wound should not be located so low.

  Assuming that Matsui is directing and acting by himself, combined with the terrain of this floor, and the four children who are witnesses...

  Belmode gradually had ideas in his mind, but there was still a lack of details.

  …

   Jiang Xia looked at Belmod, who had become Amshito, and wondered what she wanted to do.

   At this time, the police officer in charge of inquiring about the genuine Amuro came towards Jiang Xia and wanted to confirm the alibi of Mr. "Amuro".

   Jiang Xia was about to repeat part of what he had just said to Officer Sato to the officer in front of him.

   Who knew that Belmod had a big reaction to the fact that "Jiang Xia was planning to talk to the police" - she immediately stopped thinking, turned and walked towards this side.

   In Jiang Xia's slightly confused gaze, Belmod's heart was a little empty, but he spoke confidently on his face.

   She raised her hand and patted Jiang Xia's shoulder, and said in Amuro's voice, "It seems that you don't need to appear this time—I already know the real murderer."

The police officer next to    hasn't reacted yet. More than ten meters away, the Mumu police department's ears moved, and they looked over and said in surprise, "Really?"

   Jiang Xia glanced silently at the distance between the Mu police department and Belmod, and then listened to the noise around him, thinking that the police department's hearing is really good.

   Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he is very sensitive to certain keywords...
