Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 776 The Merciful Uzo

  Conan eavesdropped on his ears, dragged Jiang Xia, and asked in a low voice, "Have you received a commission?"

   Haibara Ai didn't know when to put on a hood, like a cautious red mushroom, quietly approached.

   She is not interested in commissions, but Ai Haibara knows more than Conan - she is worried about what kind of mission this organization is. If that's the case, she thinks she'd better get away quickly to avoid encountering acquaintances of the organization who might pass by.

   Jiang Xia looked at Conan, and then casually slapped Haibara Ai's fluffy red hood a few times in revenge for Haibara Ai's bad words to his cat vest the day before yesterday.

   After rubbing out the static electricity, he withdrew his hand and said solemnly, "It's a somewhat troublesome commission..."

  …

   Jiang Xia briefly said what happened before.

   After he finished speaking, he looked up and found that Koda Masao and Okiya Subaru, who were next to him, had ended their conversation at an unknown time.

   At this time, Koda Masao was ringing the doorbell again and again, urging Mian Guanyi to go out.

  Okiya Subaru was free, and approached to talk to Jiang Xia, with a gentle expression: "You also like children."

   In the eyes of Okiya Subaru, Jiang Xia is undoubtedly a golden passage leading to "mission completion", and his friendliness is very real.

   In addition, this sentence is also Okiya Subaru patching up his kidnapping of children, lest this keen detective see the problem.

  ——Although he wouldn't be arrested by the police as long as he wasn't caught with the exact reason for breaking the law, what if Uzo was extra strict?

Subaru Okiya didn't dare to bet on Uzo's benevolent heart, so he could only do everything he could to do the best he could. I can think of a suicide note again.

  …

Jiang Xia nodded when he heard his call, and his attitude was also friendly: "They are all very smart children." After saying that, he glanced at the juvenile detective group who shrank behind the far corner, then glanced at Conan, and pressed the button. With a conscience, "Also very sensible."

   Being stared at by him, the three heads that were peering secretly in the corner shrank back.

   Okiya Subaru gave a "hmm" and began to try to bring the topic to "corpse": "However, talking about these things to children will easily cast a psychological shadow on them."

"Generally speaking, it's true." Jiang Xia patted Conan's head: "But he's... ahem, he's my classmate's distant younger brother. My classmate is a detective, so he doesn't shy away from these things, he always takes this kid with him. Going to the murder scene, so he's getting used to it - sometimes, the child's perspective can also find some precious clues."

   Okiya Subaru: "..." Jiang Xia's classmate + detective...

   A person quickly appeared in his mind - Kudo Shinichi.

  Before, Okiya Subaru had little interest in detectives and murders.

   But since his roommate, who was walking on seven boats, went out vertically and was carried to the funeral home horizontally, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but subscribe to the newspapers in this area, and occasionally browse the relevant information.

   Therefore, he also knows more about these high school detectives in the same area, and naturally remembers the statement "Kudou Shinichi's classmates possessed by the dead soul" that was once hyped up by the media.

  Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru realized that Kudo Shinichi was dead, and from what Jiang Xia just said, the relationship between the two was good.

   He then politely added: "My condolences."

   Jiang Xia's eyes floated to the horizon, nodded, and sighed, as if mourning his friend who went to heaven.

   Okiya Subaru also sighed in his heart: he will grieve and miss, such a humanized young man looks like a real person.

   In comparison, Wu Zuo doesn't look a few years older than Jiang Xia, the difference is like a human being and a devil...

  Okiya Subaru stood next to Jiang Xia, feeling the breath of a normal young man, in order to gradually erase the psychological shadow that Wu Zuo left him.

Next to   , Conan was still worried that Jiang Xia's conscience was too strong, he didn't want to lie, and he accidentally revealed the fact that "Kudo Shinichi is still alive", which attracted the attention of the black-clothed organization.

But now it seems that things have gone smoothly - Jiang Xia looked up at the sky just now, his eyes fluttering, this kind of escape from being forced to lie, but it happened to match the keyword "escape", which was interpreted as "escape from the reality of the death of a friend" .

   In short, after a simple greeting, the three of them felt that the communication was pleasant.

   Only Huiyuan Ai, looking at Jiang Xia's rude way of lying, always felt that something was not right.

  ... However, since Jiang Xia didn't give any reminders, this time, it should have nothing to do with the organization. Hesitantly, she took off her hood, then silently smoothed her messy hair.

  …

  Okiya Subaru succeeded in talking, and he was just about to follow Jiang Xia's escapism about the "death of his friend" and turn the topic to the "corpse" that Masao Koda was looking for.

   But before he could speak, a tense voice came from beside him.

  —— Koda Masao was staring at the courtyard through the iron gate.

   Seeing Yoshiichi Mianguan finally groaning out of the small door on the side of the house, Koda Masao gritted his teeth and reminded a few temporary accomplices around him: "He came out."

  Okiya Subaru was stunned for a moment, and he could only temporarily stop his plan to continue talking to Jiang Xia. He looked through the iron gate and looked into the courtyard of the villa.

   A burly old man with gray hair came out with a bad face.

   Koda Masao glared at him as he approached - in Koda Masao's eyes, Mian Guan Yoshio must be his sister-killing enemy.

  …

  Mian Guanyi looked at the group of people outside through the fence gate and frowned.

   As he walked around, he pushed his hands into his pockets naturally, and put the baseball in his hands into his pockets.

   Just now, Yoshiichi Mian Guan stayed on the second floor of the villa, peeping at the group of children playing on the construction site.

   Therefore, I also saw the scene of the baseball flying into my yard.

   He came out so slowly because after hearing the doorbell, it took a while to find the ball in the yard.

  ——Mianguan Yoshiichi intends to use this baseball to negotiate with the children, let them roll away, and stay away from this area.

   As for the adult who accompanies the child to mischief...it's even easier, just tell him that if he rushes into the building site again, he will call the police, and he will be able to drive away these annoying guys.

   Who knew that when he found the ball and was about to come out to negotiate, there were two more people outside the courtyard gate.

   Mian Guanyi looked carefully for a moment, and his eyes quickly fell on Koda Masao. He recognized the man who had been pestering him for more than a month, and showed an expression of vigilance and disgust.

Mian Guanyi didn't mention baseball again, clenched his fists tightly, walked to the door aggressively, looked at Masao Koda: "I've said it many times, that waste woman has never come to me! You are persecuted and delusional. Voyeurs, stay away from my house!"
