Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 380 Jiang Xia: Men in Black? do not know (joint chapter)

  Okatani Noriko did see the news of the car accident falling off the cliff.

To be precise, since the car accident that killed her fiancé a few months ago, she has been paying close attention to similar news-Noriko Okaya also feels that a person like Beichuan Qiangshi is hard-to-change, and it is very likely that I can't help but make similar accidents again, so as long as you pay more attention to this kind of news, you may be able to find out the story of Beichuan Qiangshi who once again caused trouble.

   Now seeing Beichuan Qiangshi on the news, Okaya Noriko is not surprised.

   The only unexpected thing was that it was the body of Beichuan Qiangshi who made the news.

   This is really…

Fantastic.

  Okatani Noriko wept with joy, cried and cried and became sad again, and cried in a cycle like this all day long. Her murderous aura also naturally dropped in the process.

   Wutengu leaned against the window, watching her weeping, clapped his palms sympathetically, feeling that he should say something like Amitabha here.

   However, before he could speak, he was slapped into the window by the tail of the mermaid who followed.

  Then the mermaid also passed through the glass, instructing the Misty Tengu and her to lift the mass of murderous aura that seemed huge to them, and moved out of the window again.

  …

The days after    have been very peaceful.

   Thinking of the upcoming business trip, Jiang Xia went to prepare some things for the trip.

   A week later, he arrived at the station at the appointed time.

   That's right, the station.

   This time, Gin plans to go by public transportation instead of driving.

   One of the reasons is that his car, which was damaged by Kitagawa Qiangshi, is still being repaired.

   In addition, the travel route this time is too long. After arriving in Tottori Prefecture, it is necessary to transfer to the island on the way. Driving is not as convenient as taking transportation.

  Gin's behavior is different from that of ordinary murderers. He usually leaves after killing, and silences all passers-by who have seen him kill.

   Therefore, not only the police can't find him, but also the detectives who are good at choosing one of three fixed suspects can't find him.

   Therefore, although the identity of Jinjiu is somewhat problematic, it is far from the point where he is posted everywhere, and he can usually appear in public. There are not many occasions where the island country needs to check the identity certificate, and it is safe for him to go out.

  … Having said that.

   But when Jiang Xia arrived at the station and reunited with gin and vodka at the agreed hidden place, he couldn't help but make a small request.

   "You pretend you don't know me on the way."

Jiang Xia said as euphemistically as possible: "I'm worried that you will be photographed one day when you are silenced, and then someone will find out that I have had contact with you... Although this can be explained, but it is easy to attract suspicion from people who are interested."— —The people with a heart refer to the famous detectives who have a lot of cases around and are very easy to rub.

   "..." Gin raised his head when he heard the words, and glanced at Jiang Xia from under the brim of his hat.

   Being said that in person, it is inevitable that I feel a little subtle.

   But thinking about it carefully, Uzo is indeed acting in strict accordance with the confidentiality requirements of the organization.

   And, just pretending not to know, not to arrest him and vodka to the police, as a result of climbing... This is not a big deal.

   Gin rolled half of the cigarette into the ashtray with water next to it, nodded, and left without saying a word with the briefcase.

  The vodka stayed for a second, and the trot followed.

   ran a few meters away, he couldn't help but look back at Jiang Xia, his eyes were shocked, and his expression contained a hint of condemnation——

   Neither he nor his eldest brother disliked Wu Zuo for killing people all the way, but Wu Zuo actually disliked them in turn? ? No reason!

  morning and evening s…

  Cough.

  ...Sooner or later let the big brother shark him!

  …

   Jiang Xia pretended not to see the complicated sight of vodka "You have no conscience!".

  ... His conscience really hurts a bit, but he really can't walk arrogantly with gin and vodka in public like his accomplices-maybe at other times, but not today.

  Because according to Jiang Xia's prior investigation, this trip is likely to meet Conan and Mouri Kogoro and his party: Mouri Kogoro has a good classmate in Tottori County. Recently, my classmate is going to hold a wedding, and I invite him to attend.

   Jiang Xia recalled the scene at the station. I haven't seen Conan and Mouri yet. I guess it's too late to go out again. I can only wait for a while and get stuck on the dead line... By the way, before they arrive, go and get the reserved tickets first. .

The ticket was booked by Gin Jiu before, and now he suddenly said that he was going to leave, and he didn't know whether Gin Jiu would give him the ticket... I was afraid that this cadre would think along the lines of his just now and think it was very reasonable, and then decided to split up. It's a bit more straightforward, don't take the same car, wait until the destination to meet again... Then his case will fly.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia quickly left the hidden corner and walked towards the ticket booth.

   From a distance, I saw two tall and striking black figures standing there. It seemed that they had already collected the tickets, and they were turning around and planning to leave.

   Both sides looked at each other, Gin Jiu's gaze passed over Jiang Xia, and he lowered his head and said a few words to Vodka.

   Then I saw Vodka's face changed from calm to shocked, and then from shock to reluctance, and finally took the ticket and walked towards Jiang Xia reluctantly with a stern face.

  “…”

   Jiang Xia was startled, and then quickly understood what the other party meant.

   is probably here to give him a ticket.

  …but Gin apparently misunderstood some of the facts.

——Perhaps in Jinjiu's heart, vodka is not cruel at all, so after humbly listening to Jiang Xia's advice, Jinjiu temporarily handed over the task of "contacting Wuzuo" to him, which is not threatening in his eyes. Like a good man's vodka.

  ...But in the eyes of passers-by who don't know the truth, vodka actually looks more like a villain in the traditional sense. In the eyes of people who understand the truth, there is no difference - gin and vodka are exactly the same, and they are both members of the Black Organization.

  Although according to Jiang Xia's observation just now, there is no protagonist group in the station yet.

   But comparing the luck of Gin and Conan... Jiang Xia was always worried that the moment he took the ticket from Vodka, he would be seen by the protagonist who just came in.

  Thinking like this, Jiang Xia turned around, slightly changing the direction of travel, and turned into a corridor as if nothing had happened.

   behind him.

   followed the approach of vodka. Look carefully at the hallway, which has a broken lamp and is very dark compared to the bright hall.

  ...I don't know if it's an illusion. He always felt that this place was suitable for ambush.

  Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes twitched under the vodka sunglasses, and he subconsciously looked back at Gin.

  I saw Gin holding a cigarette, looking away from the pocket of my windbreaker, looking like I didn't know the two of them here, and I didn't see and didn't respond to Vodka's gaze.

  Vodka: “…”

never mind. The boss was present, there were so many people in the hall, and Wu Zuo didn't have a deep hatred with him, so he wouldn't suddenly kill him at this time. He couldn't overreact all the time. After all, according to the experience learned from the escape variety show, the more panic, the easier it is to die...

   Thinking so, Vodka took a deep breath calmly, put on a tough guy face, and strode into the corridor. Dengdengdeng turned a corner.

   Then he almost bumped into Jiang Xia who was waiting for him at the corner.

  Vodka saw that face at close range, groaned in his heart, and reflexively grabbed the gun in his pocket.

   Almost at the same time, the other hand stretched out silently and pressed it on his wrist, interrupting the action of vodka drawing the gun.

   "Do you want to be silenced for taking out a gun in such a public place?" Jiang Xia changed what Gin Jiu had said to him, and turned around and gave it to Gin Jiu's number one younger brother.

   Then he stretched out his other hand and took out the ticket that belonged to him from the vodka.

"I got it." Jiang Xiachao shook the ticket at the stiff vodka, glanced disappointedly at the murderous aura on the tall man in black that he had just been scared out and was immediately scared back, and let go of his wrist, "Go back. Bar."

After    was released from the restraint, Vodka took a sharp step back.

   Then he raised his chin, barely let out a cold snort, turned around and walked away with a fast pace.

   Jiang Xia didn't go out immediately, but looked down at the ticket first.

   They booked the Big Dipper train this time, a sleeper. Tokyo goes straight to Tottori.

   Thinking about the other two tickets that the ghost saw just now, Jiang Xia found that the two boxes were next to each other. Probably the person who booked the ticket thinks this is more conducive to dealing with emergencies.

   Jiang Xia nodded secretly, very satisfied with this arrangement. Gin may produce fresh murderous aura all the time - for example, when he is looking at the documents, he occasionally thinks of who should be killed, and the murderous aura on his body will swell for a short time.

   And a box like this next to each other is undoubtedly more convenient for Jiang Xia to send ghosts to visit at any time.

   Even if the ghost stays in the gin and vodka box all the time, at this distance, the act of "letting the ghost out" will not consume too much murderous energy.

  …

  After the vodka delivered the tickets and left, Jiang Xia did not go out the same way, but took a detour and left at the other end of the corridor.

   Then he took the ticket and entered the station to take the train.

   Now is not the peak tourist season, and there are very few people on the platform. However, Tokyo is the starting station, and the deserted scene may also be because some people have already entered the car in advance.

  Jiang Xia walked down the steps leading to the platform while leaning on the railing and swept his eyes. First of all, I saw the gin, which was extremely conspicuous on the platform, surrounded by high-end murderous aura.

   followed closely, and his eyes fell on a tall and thin middle-aged man in front of the next carriage.

  The middle-aged man wore a pair of metal-rimmed glasses and had a high midpoint on his hairline. He followed behind another older man and said something in a low voice.

   Different from the respectful and humble face, the murderous aura was surging beside him. Although it was not a high-end murderous aura, in the eyes of the psychic, it was still a beautiful scenery.

   Jiang Xia briefly looked at the migrant worker with a completely different inner and outer appearance, and then looked at the boss who was following him.

   Jiang Xia had seen the photo of this boss - on the cleaning list given by Jinjiu.

   This person's name is Izumo Keitaro, the owner of a jewelry store in the ancient city and a well-known rich man.

   But in fact, compared to the jewelry business, Izumo Ketaro's more source of income is actually drug trafficking.

   In Gin's plan, the order to get rid of Boss Izumo was placed later.

   Jiang Xia thought that Jinjiu made this decision at first because in this drug line, the threat of Izumo Keitaro, a self-employed person, was relatively small, so there was no need to rush to deal with it.

   And now, after seeing the store manager behind Izumo Keitaro and remembering the social status of Boss Izumo, Jiang Xia gradually has new conjectures.

  ——Gin didn't rush to do it, maybe because recently, the ancient city is running for mayor, and Izumo Keitaro happens to be one of the candidates.

   Running to assassinate the mayoral candidate at this time is indeed likely to cause a big movement. It's better to wait until the election has died down. Anyway, the chances of Boss Izumo being selected are not high.

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia finished the last few steps, got into the car, and found his box.

   He put his luggage away, stretched, and planned to go around the neighborhood to see if Conan and the others were in the car.

   However, just as he walked to the door, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

  …is the phone used to communicate with the organization.

  Jiangxia took out his phone, unlocked it and checked it out.

   I saw a message sent by vodka instead of gin:

  [Encountered dk07. Depending on the situation, we will blow up this compartment and obliterate the target. A message will be sent to you ten minutes before you start, remember to go out in time and evacuate with us. During this period, in order to avoid being seen or leaving images, try not to go out]

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   He just guessed that Gin put Ketaro Izumo's assassination ranking so low because he didn't want to make trouble during the mayoral campaign.

   It wasn't even a minute after he came to this conclusion, Gin told him with practical actions that it was not the case.

  ... His understanding of organizational behavior patterns is not deep enough. Jiang Xia was lost in thought.

After   , he turned his attention to the number.

   "dk07" should point to Yun Ketaro - Jiang Xia remembered that on the assassination list he saw, there was indeed a parenthetical note after Izumo Ketaro's name, which contained exactly these characters.

   Having said that, there are only a few targets who are not even outside members, and they even get a temporary number by themselves... Has there been such a thing in the organization before?

   Jiang Xia recalled carefully and found that he could not access the important list. But in my impression, unimportant people used to refer to who killed who.

  ...The organization seems to be more and more formal. I hope this strange change that keeps pace with the times will not affect him.

   Jiang Xia was distracted, and reflexively typed "received" in the reply column.

After typing   , he was about to send it, but he regained his senses, deleted these two words, and typed in new words:

  [Let me try it first. In fact, I also made some preparations for today's event.

   The road to Tottori is still very long, and if I don't succeed, I will have time to drop the bomb. ]

   Not to mention the power of the bomb. The fact that shikigami hit by gin alone is difficult to make effective use of, makes Jiang Xia feel that he must try to avoid letting gin be used as much as possible.

   After editing, click Send.

   After waiting for more than ten seconds, the phone vibrated again.

   This time, it’s no longer a ghostwriting reply from vodka.

   It was a direct message from Gin: [His destination is Tottori too? ]
