Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 558 and the cause of Bourbon's hatred

  Amuro Toru does not believe in souls, but he is worried that something will happen here.

   And, to be honest, as a senior intelligence officer who wants to get in any information, he is a little curious about this so-called seance ceremony.

   Therefore, in the face of Hirasaka Reiki's invitation, Amuro Toru didn't hesitate for too long, and decided to go see the mysterious "Seance Ceremony": "Okay."

   Jiang Xia certainly would not object.

   He followed slowly with a skeptical expression on his face.

  …

   A group of nine people walked through the dark corridor, stepped on the luxurious plush carpet covering the corridor, and came to the meditation room.

The    meditation room has a two-sided door, the whole is made of solid solid wood, and the upper part is inlaid with opaque colored glass. A huge padlock hangs on the door.

  Hirasaka Reiki took out the key from his body, opened the door, and walked into the octagonal room with a gloomy air.

   In this room, except for the door, there is only one window that is more than four meters above the ground.

  The faint moonlight slanted in from the window, like a psychedelic gauze covering the room.

   Hirazaka Reiki didn't turn on the lights, but walked around the wall and lit several candlesticks.

   In the dim yellow flickering candlelight, magic circles of different colors were drawn on the floor of the room.

   There is a round table in the middle, and the table is also engraved with a magic circle—the pattern is much more complicated than those on the floor, and it is also mixed with some obscure and incomprehensible characters.

   There is a circle of chairs next to the round table. In the middle of the wall and the table, there are several huge high-definition posters with different appearances of Miss Kira.

   Vodka swept across these posters, looking at the beautiful idols, his eyes lit up slightly, only to feel that the pressure brought by Uzo was a lot lighter.

   During the brief interval he was admiring the poster, a group of people took their seats at the table one after another.

  Hirasaka Reiki looked at the people in the room, with a solemn tone:

"When the ceremony begins, remember to cross your hands in front of you and hold the hand of your neighbor - never let go until the seance is over, or you'll find yourself holding a 'shouldn't be there when the ceremony is over. hand'."

   Following this sentence, at the table, the female college student with a low sense of presence didn't know what to think, her face was pale, her fingers were tightly clutching her skirt, and she trembled slightly.

  Vodka also recovered from admiring the poster, and found a place to sit at random.

After    sat firmly, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

   turned his head cautiously, and saw Uzo sitting right on his left.

   At this time, the young organization member was looking at him with a slightly surprised look. He didn't seem to expect that Vodka would take the initiative to choose one of the two empty stools on the right to sit near him.

   The surprise in Jiang Xia's eyes only lasted for a short moment, as fast as a phantom.

After a few tenths of a second, Vodka found that after Uzo looked at him, he lowered his head evasively and moved a little away from him, as if he was not used to staying with unfamiliar organizational cadres. At the same time, it was very stressful for vodka to approach him.

  Vodka: “…”

  ... That's obviously the expression he should have! Who would want to take the initiative to sit next to Uzo! He just forgot to look at the location when he sat down.

   However, Vodka gradually thought again: Speaking of which, being looked at by Uzo with a little awe like this, there will be a strange feeling of happiness that he has turned over and become the boss...

  Thinking about it this way, in fact, a few months ago, when Wu Zuo was just "Jiang Xia" and didn't show the terrible nature under his innocent appearance, he really looked like a peripheral member who was easy to get along with.

  ...hh, I miss those days a bit. It would be great if such obedient and useful subordinates really existed. He actually wants it a little bit. Brother Gin is busy with work, so he is always busy and is in urgent need of reliable colleagues.

But soon, Vodka realized that if a few months ago, under the circumstances of failing to see through Uzo's nature, he really divided this peripheral member into his own, and contacted him without any defense, and from time to time. The spectrum of a cadre, stand up and stand up, bully the young newcomer...

   Vodka substituted for the former self.

   Then he silently broke out in a cold sweat.

...A few months ago, he was still too young—before Brother Jinjiu exposed Jiang Xia's true face, he didn't even think that those murders would be related to Jiang Xia's plan, he just thought it was an accidental one after another. Common homicide.

  Fortunately, he has a big life and has a reliable gin brother to help guide the way and avoid risks.

   It's not too late to be vigilant about Uzo now...

  …

  The vodka quickly subsided the dangerous thoughts that had just occurred.

   and began to think, if he suddenly stood up and re-selected the vacant seat next to him, far away from Uzzo, would it be interpreted by Uzzo as deliberately ripping off his waistcoat, which would lead to unreasonable revenge.

   Fortunately, at this time, someone suddenly approached.

   followed, Vodka heard a slightly menacing whisper:

   "You preemptively sit in this position, are you eyeing my subordinates?"

   Vodka froze for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, and saw Bourbon's politely smiling face.

   In this dark room illuminated only by candlelight, the smile is inexplicably ghostly, full of the dark temperament of "Bourbon".

   However, at this time, in Vodka's eyes, Bourbon and his words were all very intimate.

  …found a valid reason to switch seats!

  Vodka was delighted in her heart, but snorted coldly on her face, and then stood up with a bit of force that a cadre should have, moved a step to the right, left Jiangxia, and sat down next to the photographer named Sanchuan Longyi.

   In an instant, the air in the room seemed to lighten up.

At the same time, Vodka thought to himself, as his eldest brother said - Bourbon seems to be quite concerned about Jiang Xia, a good seedling who has quickly become a famous detective. Gather him as a unique intelligence point. And so far, Bourbon has not found out that Jiang Xia is actually a code member who has been promoted...

  Speaking of which, under the circumstance that "Uzuo" is only regarded as "Jiangxia", until today, Bourbon has not died unexpectedly...

   It's because although he has the title of "Boss Jiang Xia", he actually doesn't have much contact with Wu Zuo because he is busy?

   Or was it because Bourbon didn't want Uzo to touch other capable officers, so he cut down Uzo's available items by mistake?

After all, with Bourbon's skills, and relying only on ordinary murderers, I am afraid it is impossible to easily achieve the result of "let Bourbon die in a murder case" - maybe the prisoner just wanted to do something, and he was already knocked down by Bourbon , and then packed it and sank into Tokyo Bay, um, maybe it was the cement that Uzuo helped pour.

  ——The well-written artistic script was rewritten by Bourbon with force, and he was forced to become a tool for rewriting...

In Vodka's mind, Uzo was pouring cement with tears in his eyes, and he suddenly understood - this kind of thing doesn't need to be too much, just one or two times can explain why Uzo takes Bourbon as his number one target, and he doesn't have to. He was so obsessed with killing him.

  ...The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I write it down and go back and tell my big brother about this important discovery.
