Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 784 Jiang Xia has nothing to do with Wu Zuo

   And the previous encounter gave Okiya Subaru an opportunity to observe Jiangxia up close.

   This also confirms this.

  —Jiang Xia is not really reading the script. He obviously has a process of observation and reasoning, and the progress of solving the case will be delayed due to the lack of intelligence. so…

   Sure enough, I think too much.

  …

   Okiya Subaru felt relieved at the same time.

   On the other side, someone's heart lifted.

   "What did you say?!" In the Central Hospital, Mian Guanyi slapped the table one by one, glaring at the front desk, "Didn't you call the call urging me to come for the examination?!"

The front desk nodded cautiously: "Sorry, we have never made such a phone call." After speaking, looking at Mian Guan Yiyi's age, he couldn't help but reminded in a low voice, "It seems that telecom fraud is popular recently, although I haven't seen it yet. I've used that kind of rhetoric, but you have to be careful."

  Mian Guanyiyi: "…"

   His face contorted, suddenly thinking of something, he turned around suddenly and went out and took a taxi home.

  …

   However, when Mian Guanyi arrived at the door.

  What should have happened has already happened.

  —There was a large number of police cars in front of his house.

  The police seemed to have just arrived, and they hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.

   And in the yard, there was a person standing at this time.

   - Koda Masao threw away the thin stick used for digging, and smiled at the police who arrived: "I want to surrender."

   Behind him, on the neat lawn of Mian Guanyi's family, countless small holes had already appeared.

"I buried the stolen gemstones in this yard. To be honest, there are quite a few, and I forgot which one was buried. If you want to find it..." He waved his hand afterward, his expression relaxed, "I'm afraid I have to turn the whole field over."

   Sato Miwako sighed. After setting up the search just now, it didn't take long before she vaguely guessed the purpose of Masao Koda. After that, her personal thoughts briefly clashed with her responsibilities as a police officer, and when she came over to take a look, she realized that it was indeed the case.

   The suspect who surrendered himself explained where the stolen goods were buried.

   Now, even if Mian Guanyi objected, the police had to search his yard.

  Mian Guanyi blocked in front of a group of people with a cold face. Koda Masao looked at him and sneered: "What's wrong? Are there corpses buried in your yard that cannot be seen by the police?"

The manager of   Yujima looked at Jiang Xia, then at Masao Koda, and finally at the police, followed by the fire: "I must find my gem!"

   "..." Mian Guanyi glared at Masao Koda for a while, then suddenly let out a sneer.

   He pushed away a few steps: "Just dig if you want."

  …

   There just happened to be no murders today, and there are plenty of manpower.

  Sato quickly called in a lot of police and began to carefully dig the yard of Watanabe Yoshiichi, making sure not to miss a single corner.

  —Since you have found it, look for it thoroughly. Koda Sanae could not be found in a day, and this matter could not be solved in a day.

   When half the yard was opened.

   Jiang Xia's eyes flickered from the corner of his eye, capturing a touch of lighter hair color.

   He turned his head to look, and found that Subaru Okiya appeared nearby at some point.

After    met his gaze, the new subordinates paused slightly.

Soon, Subaru Okiya walked over with guilt on his face, and whispered, "Sorry, I wanted to stop him, but on the way, Mr. Koda left by himself..." Subaru Okiya still remembered when he and Jiang Xia separated just now. , the excuse was "I was worried about Masao Koda, so I went to see him."

   Jiang Xia nodded, and thoughtfully helped his subordinates up the steps: "He has a motorcycle and is very determined. If he has to leave, you can't stop him."

   Okiya Subaru: "..." This is exactly the excuse he was looking for.

   He was still thinking that if he said this himself, it would be a bit deliberate, so he was very hesitant.

  I didn't expect Jiang Xia to take these details into consideration, and took the initiative to say it... What a good person. Okiya Subaru once again felt the huge difference between Jiang Xia and Uzuo, and he felt the pressure in his heart.

  …

   resolved this minor flaw, and Okiya Subaru refocused on the business.

   Seeing that the police were digging the yard of Mian Guanyi's family, he secretly sighed in his heart.

   Robbing the gem store to lead the police to search is indeed a good conspiracy, but…

  The place is wrong.

   Okiya Subaru looked at his watch, and remembered the mission deadline and Uzo's kind smile, he couldn't help but pushed his glasses to hide the anxiety in his heart.

   But no matter how hurried, there are policemen all around now, and a keen detective. The more this happens, the more patient you must be... Fortunately, they have already found this step, and it is not far from the truth.

   Okiya Subaru looked at the busy group of people in front of him, thinking about a way to get them to find the correct search direction as soon as possible. For a moment, he felt that he had experienced Uzo's vision of God that was one level higher.

  The only difference is probably that Uzo looks laid back and wins, but he has to bear the pain of conscience and worry about the time limit given by Uzo...

  Okiya Subaru sighed in his heart, and secretly observed the people present, ready to find opportunities to speed up the progress of the case.

  …

   Until dusk, more than half of the villa's lawn was turned over from the inside to the outside. At this time, all the lost gems of Oshima Chihiro had been found, but nothing related to the "female corpse" was ever found. Not even a single piece of clothing was found.

   There is still a small half of the lawn left.

  Mian Guanyi looked at the policeman with a hint of provocation: "It's rare for you to help me open the ground. I'll change this half into a family vegetable garden—do you want to continue with the other half?"

Mikako Sato looked at Yoshiichi Matsugu who was calm and composed, and at Masao Koda, who was clearly a criminal suspect but was now mixed in with the police, digging harder than anyone else, and turned helplessly to his disgraced subordinates: "continue."

  ...The matter has come to this point, it has already been excavated, so we have to dig it all to see.

At the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Xia, who was watching the police dig the ground, also sighed.

   The clue check-in point this time is really far away.

   However, it has been delayed until now, and he continues to solve the case steadily and step by step, instead of being the usual agile detective. He touched his chin, thought for a while, turned around and walked outside the hospital.

  Conan and Haibara Ai noticed Jiang Xia's movement and quickly followed.

   Okiya Subaru hesitated for a moment, and seemed to naturally sneak into their team.

   Jiang Xia whispered as he walked, "Mr. Mianguan looks very confident. I always feel that even if the rest of the ground is dug up, it will be difficult to find the body."

  Okiya Subaru, like an innocent passerby, showed a wavering mood that was bewitched by the murderer: "That Miss Koda, did you really come here?"

   "Huh?" Jiang Xia glanced at him, feeling that he had picked up an elite subordinate.

   He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I heard from you just now that you are busy with the paper... Come with us, is the paper okay?"
