Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 789 Immortal fights stay away from me

   But Okiya Subaru soon thought about it again.

——I didn't do it on purpose. When Uzo asked him to dig down there, he didn't even know that there was a corpse buried underneath... It's okay, calm down, there are no ghosts in the world, even if there are, it will be given priority. Go find someone else, like a man behind the scenes or something...

  Okiya Subaru thought about his new boss, and in addition to being afraid, he felt a strange sense of security - the ghost should have no time to make things difficult for his little working boy before killing Uzo. In the legend, ghosts are afraid of wicked people, and Wu Zuo looks like he is very capable of suppressing ghosts...

  Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru gradually felt relieved.

   He wrapped his windbreaker tightly, tidied up his scarf, and made an appointment with the police to take a transcript.

   asked for another Jiang Xia business card, and then prepared to say goodbye to this detective who was good at solving cases and had a good relationship with their "Wu Zuoliu", and went to rush the thesis.

But when he raised his head to say hello, Subaru Okiya suddenly realized that Jiang Xia's eyes were a bit strange when he looked at him—although he quickly covered it up, Subaru Okiya always felt that there was a little bit of inquiry hidden in the eyes of this young detective. and alert.

  Okiya Subaru was slightly startled, and his first reaction was: What did those two witty children say to Jiang Xia, such as peeking at his phone screen or something... which made Jiang Xia feel a little disgusted with him.

   But soon, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but think again, if even a child thinks he is suspicious, maybe Jiang Xia also...

   Uzo's warning "if exposed, bury himself in the ground" flashed in his mind, and his scalp felt slightly numb.

   But I quickly remembered that when Uzo said "exposure" the day before yesterday, the specific word used was, "the police caught a real handle".

  ... Think about it carefully, why did Uzo add a "police" to his words at that time, instead of using the more common expression of "being caught by someone else"?

   At that time, Okiya Subaru was being pressed by Uzo, and he looked at the rotting eyes of the corpse closely and affectionately, and he had no time to think about it.

   But now, after going through all this, he suddenly realized that there might be some other meaning hidden in Uzzo's seemingly casual threat.

  ——Although it is true that only the police are qualified to arrest people, Uzo's statement actually excludes "detectives" among "people who find suspicious things", leaving only "police". That is to say... Jiang Xia has long noticed the traces of Wu Zuo's existence, and Wu Zuo also discovered this?

   As soon as this idea came up, it was out of control.

  Okiya Subaru suddenly realized that these two geniuses related to the case happened to be in Tokyo. The more frequent the cases, the more likely they will encounter them—in this case, perhaps Jiang Xia has long discovered that there are traces of human manipulation behind some cases.

  ...If Jiang Xia is as good as the media hype, then he has this kind of observation, which is actually very reasonable.

  Especially, in case Wu Zuo deliberately leads Jiang Xia to the crime scene in order to pursue efficiency or to read the case... Then Jiang Xia will definitely be able to find unnatural traces from it.

——Everything has two sides. When a good knife kills the enemy, it is like chopping melons and vegetables, but if one day, the knife suddenly awakens, and when it chops the user in turn, it will also be like chopping melons and vegetables... Zuo Lai, Jiang Xia is probably just such a knife.

   Okiya Subaru was a little nervous at first. But he quickly thought that Uzo couldn't understand the danger that even he could understand, that is to say...

Ok? !

   "..." Combining what Uzo did the day before yesterday, Okiya Subaru suddenly had a guess.

  ... Could it be that Uzo taught his younger brother to perform tasks by hand, not just because he was strict. The more real reason is that Uzo wants to push a scapegoat to help him bear the blame when things are really hard to cover up?

Subaru Okiya: "..." Indeed, in this way, even if one day, Jiang Xia really found evidence that "someone was planning and promoting the murder behind the scenes", compared to the elusive Uzo, it was obviously "Subaru Okiya". People who have contact with him are more likely to become targets in the eyes of detectives and police.

   In other words, the more you imitate Uzo and the more you can be on your own, the closer you are to being exposed...

Thinking about it, it's still cold tomorrow, but Subaru Okiya can't stop sweating... I knew for a long time that the workplace was going to be the culprit, so I kept procrastinating not wanting to work and devote myself to academia. I didn't expect that in the organization, even Gotta take the pot!

but……

   Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses.

   Calm down and think about it, in today's mission, although I inevitably showed some doubts, no one really caught "real criminal evidence".

In addition, judging from previous reports and what I have seen and heard today, Jiang Xia is obviously not the kind of death reservist who immediately starts shouting when he catches the slightest clue. Instead, he will not say a word until the evidence is gathered, and is very cautious. .

   So by the same token, at this stage, even if Jiang Xia is aware of someone pushing behind the case, as long as he has not found any evidence, the "man behind the scenes" is still safe, at least it won't attract the attention of the police.

   And this time...

Subaru Okiya touched his chin, and felt that he could be a passerby who was afraid of troubles just for today's events - for example, for some reason, he witnessed the burial site, or found clues in the construction site, but because he didn't want to cause trouble Upper body, so I didn't call the police, and I didn't dare to contact the victim's family, so I had to bring a few people over and wait for an opportunity to expose the situation.

  Also, although Subaru Okiya has never seen Uzo when he is on a mission, he also knows that in the past, when the new boss was behind the scenes, he must have been hiding deeply.

——Therefore, although Jiang Xia will be suspicious and vigilant about the suspicious "Okiya Subaru", on the other hand, Jiang Xia may not match the characteristics of "Okiya Subaru" and the "behind-the-scenes" in the past. And keenly sense the sense of disobedience.

   In short, as long as you don't repeat the same behavior over and over again, it will not be easy for Jiang Xia to see through. Even if he sees it through... On the bright side, Jiang Xia might be able to see through Wu Zuo's conspiracy and discover that Subaru Okiya is just an innocent scapegoat...

  Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru had a little confidence to keep going.

   But then he thought about it, the frequency of his missions, and whether he met Jiang Xia during the mission, he couldn't help himself. It's all Uzo playing behind the scenes... The boss of the organization is really unreliable, so I'd better hold the thigh on the fbi side and get out.

  Okiya Subaru pondered, resisting the suspicious eyes of the detectives behind him, and walked away quickly, secretly yearning for a beautiful country without Uzo.

  …

   Not long after he left, Jiang Xia also bid farewell to the police and returned to Mihua Town with the two children.
