Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 563 Let’s chat with colleagues

   After discovering the abnormality, Toru Amuro temporarily turned his attention away from the collapse point several kilometers away.

   He found the guest room that Hirazaka Reiki had assigned to Jiang Xia, walked over and knocked on the door.

  Although Fengjian can't ignore it, Jiang Xia also needs to pay more attention... Well, before going to Fengjian, let's secretly install a camera or something in Jiangxia, and leave a loudspeaker. If vodka in the middle of the night while he is not there, touches the room to intimidate or cause trouble, he can deter him from the air...

  …

   However, after thinking about the location of the hidden camera and loudspeaker, Jiang Xia's room door was still closed, and no one came to open the door.

  “…?”

   Amuro Toru knocked a few more times, paused for a moment, and said tentatively, "I'm in."

   Then hold the doorknob and press and push.

  The door opened silently.

  ...The room was not locked, and after the door was opened, a mysteriously decorated guest room appeared in front of Amuro Toru.

   The beds in the house are neat, and there are no people on the chairs and sofas.

   Jiangxia is not in it.

  “…”

  …What about people?

  …

a few minutes ago.

   When Amuro Toru lingered in the restaurant, communicated with several subordinates remotely, and pondered the next plan.

   Jiang Xia vaguely guessed what the boss was about to do while listening to the ghosts' real-time broadcast on Amuro's mobile phone screen.

   At the same time, he glanced boredly, suddenly stopped, and stopped on the vodka in front of him.

  The intuition of vodka turned out to be quite sensitive.

  While Jiang Xia was watching him, he suddenly looked back covertly if he felt something.

   The two looked at each other briefly.

  The air seemed to freeze for a second.

   After a second, Vodka turned around as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk to his room.

   But, if you look closely, you can see that his pace seems to be a little faster than before.

  Jiang Xia: "..." I was surprised, it was quite fun...

   He stared at Vodka's back, thoughtfully.

  ...Speaking of which, I haven't played with my phone for a few days, and I haven't read those weird commission letters from the office. It's really boring.

   Also, although there are many times when vodka and gin work separately, it is not easy for ordinary citizens like Jiang Xia who only see them once in a few days or even a month.

  ...If you want to squeeze out the murderousness of vodka, this seems to be a good opportunity.

——Although Jin Jiu kills a few people every few seconds, he does not advocate random killings, because that will attract the attention of the police. This is an organization that pursues low-key and mysterious... Well, at least in terms of concept, it pursues a low-key and mysterious organization. It's definitely not a good thing.

   Therefore, Jiang Xia thought, maybe vodka doesn't usually have a murderous look because there is gin around. Whether to kill or not is determined by gin, so vodka will not kill itself until it receives an order.

  ...And now, gin is not there, vodka can only rely on its own efforts and judgments.

   In this way, maybe when he feels threatened, his desire to survive will explode, and he will instinctively show a little murderousness... After all, Vodka is also a member of a serious organization, and even got a code name. He must have murderous intent, but he just hid it secretly...

   Of course, except curious about the murderousness of vodka. At present, there is another thing related to vodka, which makes Jiang Xia quite concerned.

   - The last time he met Vodka was in Tottori Prefecture.

   Compared with that time, tonight, the attitude of vodka has obviously changed a lot.

   To put it simply, after seeing him, Vodka was still startled, but vaguely seemed to have something to rely on... Obviously gin is not by his side now.

   Jiang Xia suspected that there was something worthy of vigilance, and secretly happened behind his back.

  ...It is necessary to chat with vodka as soon as possible to find out the situation.

and……

   Jiang Xia glanced back at the empty corridor, thinking of Amuro Toru who was busy because Kazami Yuya disappeared, and felt that it would be a waste not to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

  ——When he was looking for vodka for a friendly exchange, if Amuro Toru just went straight to Kazami, then of course there would be no problem.

   But if the boss walks in a more sloppy way, he intends to come to him first to take a look, and then suddenly find that he and vodka are together... Then there is also vodka, a ready-made scapegoat.

  ——Although vodka is amazing in some aspects, he is also a full-fledged member with considerable authority and has absolute command over peripheral members.

  So, in theory, if Vodka wants to chat with Jiang Xia in a place where no one is there, Jiang Xia has to give him some face...

And Jiang Xia remembered that half an hour ago, when a group of people were looking for a seat in the dark in the meditation room, Vodka once sat beside him, looking like he was interested in him, a peripheral member who is a famous detective... Rare vodka Accidentally got a divine assist, and if you don't use it at the same time, wouldn't it be a failure of this good colleague's efforts.

   In the end, even after pushing the pot to vodka, Amuro still had suspicions because of it, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

   After all, it was not the first time that the boss had doubts after this trip. According to Jiang Xia's observation, Amuro Toru was always on the edge of doubt. Now it's time to do a few more jumps to exercise your body...

   Just as Jiang Xia felt, since seeing the vodka, Amuro's suspicion of himself had visibly dropped. Compared with the past, Jiang Xia had to stare at everything, and now Amuro even started to slow down his pace in order to check his mobile phone, out of Jiang Xia's field of vision...

  As it goes on like this, this journey full of surprises will soon come to an end.

  ...And if the boss is suspicious again, they might be able to play outside for a while.

   Anyway, no matter how long it takes, it is impossible for Amuro to find strong evidence of "the case planned by Jiang Xia".

   After all, Jiang Xia is really just an ordinary detective who is busy solving cases, and rarely does the things that "Wu Zuo" loves to do in the eyes of the organizational cadres.

  The vodka side, don't worry too much, he is also Gin's assistant anyway, and his mouth is still very strict. Even if the follow-up may occasionally appear to be "frightened" uncontrollably, this source of fright can also explain the "Bourbon" that is not very friendly to vodka.

   Also, given that there is a signal here, it's likely that Vodka has passed the "he met Bourbon" thing to Gin. It took Amuro a few years to break into the Black Organization with difficulty, and there is still some room for improvement. He probably won't risk revealing his identity in order to grab a vodka.

   As long as the vodka is not caught, the two bottles of "Vodka" and "Bourbon" have no relationship between superiors and subordinates, and there will be no information exchange. Naturally, there will be no news of "Jiangxia = Wuzuo" from vodka.
