Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 502 Uzo Come to Take the Pot

   Now it seems that there should be something very heavy in the bag that would hinder escape, otherwise the man would not carry only one and leave the other.

   As for what's inside...

   Combined with the news he heard last night, Conan had a vague speculation.

   As a seemingly 7-year-old child, Conan consciously assumed the responsibility of breaking the law-he walked over and opened the bag of the deceased.

   Slightly startled when he saw what was exposed inside.

  ——The bag is full of tens of thousands of yen bills. The corners were stained with black blood, and a few stacks were soaked through more than half. As soon as the waterproof backpack was opened, there was a rotting smell, and Conan covered his nose and stepped back.

   Jiang Xia passed him and looked at the money inside:

   "I remember that in the news just now, the victim of the burglary was the leader of a certain violent group, and was robbed of a total of 100 million yen in cash... It seems that this is all."

  100 million yen is enough for Gin to vote for himself, and I don't know if I can get a task list if I hand it over to the organization.

  It’s a pity that Amuroto is right next to me. The money can only be handed over to the police, and then returned to the heir of the gang leader, depending on the situation.

Ok? etc.

   Strictly speaking, "Uzo" also happens to be on the mountain right now.

   Jiang Xia, who is serious about being a detective and intends to leave the organization and become a good person, certainly can't do such a thing of following criminals to collect money.

  …but Uzo can.

Speaking of which, if you want the "fake Uzo" to act instead of him and use the resources of the organization in the future, you must first introduce the puppet constructed by Matsuda Jinping - the virtual person named "Xitu" to the organization, or more. Introduced to gin, to be exact.

   Although in Jiang Xia's view, the puppet will never leak secrets.

But for the organization, especially for Jinjiu, who is very concerned about confidentiality, Jiang Xia suddenly found an outsider and asked him to act in the organization in place of "Wuzo", and even shared some of the permissions of "Uzzo". , undoubtedly leaked the organization's intelligence to unrelated people.

If Jinjiu is too rigid about the rules, he will shoot the tool man Xitu to death as soon as they meet, and then arrange for an "elite" that the organization can trust to come over to fight Jiang Xia... Then Jiang Xia's hard-to-get new vest will be impossible. Come in handy.

   In addition, there may be an undercover insider who knows his identity and is forced to expose his vest - Jiang Xia really can't trust the organization and Jinjiu's vision of selecting "elites".

   So why don't you bring a welcome gift to your door.

  ——Last time in Tottori Prefecture, after his puppet sank the organization's boat, the murderous aura of Gin was significantly increased, which shows that Gin still cares about the organization's funds.

  A person's behavior is inevitably affected by mood.

If he brought 100 million yen with him when he introduced "Chitu", Jinjiu might not only accept the tool person he found, but also send a long-lost assassination list by the way, so that he can see what cases can be found. to rub...

   For Jiang Xia, 100 million yen is not much.

   Let’s not talk about the pay for being a detective, working part-time, and recording shows; the hundreds of millions I got during the Maple Leaf Gold Coin Incident before, haven’t been spent at all. And recently, Jiang Xia has dug a few truckloads of gold from the boss's hometown - Dusk Annex, so much money that he is worried.

  ... But the origin of the money cannot be told to the organization.

  The former, Anonymous once came forward.

  The latter... digging into the corner of the boss's house, of course you have to cover it up.

   Not like this cash in front of you.

   The money in front of you, you can throw it to the organization immediately after you get it, and you can explain the origin of the money in one or two sentences, which is safe and worry-free.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the bag full of cash in front of him, his eyes changed slightly, and he felt that he saw a list of tasks sent by Gin.

  Amuro Toru and Conan didn't know what Jiang Xia was thinking.

   The attention of the two serious detectives was still focused on the case in front of them.

"The money is less than 100 million, but 50 million is about the same... The other 50 million should be on the man who ran away after the murder." The woman with the knife:

"This couple is probably the robbers who robbed the house. It was only later that the two had an infighting - when the deceased heard Jiang Xia's name last night, she frightened the spoon in her hand, maybe she wanted to surrender or escape, but The accomplices disagree...there are indeed many such things."

  Conan glanced at Amuro Toru vigilantly: The boss of Amuro seems to be very familiar with this kind of money bundled together, and it is not enough to say that it is not enough. Detectives don't usually receive requests of this amount. Is it because Amuro often encountered kidnapping cases before, and the kidnappers demanded a large amount of ransom, or... the other way around?

   When two detectives suspect each other.

   The door banged and the client walked in.

  Chao Wenzao went out to look for someone just now, but couldn't find it, so he returned to the rest station.

   Seeing the corpse on the ground at this time, he was startled: "What's going on?!"

   Jiang Xia recovered from the money, turned to look at the murderous client, and explained amicably:

   "Do you remember the news you heard last night - the burglary and murderer, probably the couple we met on the way, and then they seemed to have an argument... and then it became like this."

  Chao Wenzao frowned and whispered, "So they're not silver foxes either..."

  ...Even if the silver fox temporarily grabbed a ticket when he passed by a nearby village, after that, he, or they, would not run up the mountain to do the assassination mission with such a heavy filth on his back.

Remove the couples, remove the male college student who was plotted by the silver fox and fell off a cliff, and remove the hired detective and detective's classmates. Of course, seven-year-old children must also be excluded. The rest is only Huokura Etsuko, and... that administrator?

  Chao Wenzao pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked to the corner, grabbed Hucang Yuezi's bag, and shook it upside down.

   The contents of the bag fell to the ground.

  Water, a change of clothes, a few books, a notebook and a pen…

  No signature throwing knives, crossbows, or other oddities. It's not like Silver Fox's luggage.

  Chao Wenzao glanced at the contents inside, dropped his empty bag, slammed out the door, and chased into the deep forest.

  ——Tokura Etsuko was also ruled out, and the only one left was the administrator!

  “…”

  Tokura Etsuko looked at the closed door in surprise, walked to the scattered luggage with a frown, and put back the things that were poured out one by one, a little angry: "Too rude..."

   After a pause, she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Xia and his party suspiciously: "The 'silver fox' you mentioned just now is..."

   Before he finished speaking, a group of detectives slowly pushed the door and walked out, chasing in the direction where the client left.
