Conan’s Corpse Picker

"Perhaps it was your different attitude when observing those people that caught his attention. Or maybe it was just an interesting coincidence." Rum laughed softly, "Uzo is a hunter who takes the initiative to choose his prey, and those who can become our The person targeted for silence has either experienced twists and turns, or has a high status, which coincides with his recipe - but this shows that he is extremely suitable for our organization, and such a genius is born for us."

In addition to what Curacao said, Rum actually had other information about this case.

For example, the parliamentary secretary once contacted the media behind the scenes, hoping that they would release some unfavorable news about Jiang Xia to distract the famous detective.

Originally, Rum wanted to sell a favor, but he found that the news had not been successfully released at all - someone else was actually pressing the news for this famous detective, and the forces were very mixed, like a hodgepodge, with people from all fields. Even colleagues from the organization.

Rum stared at the messy list, but didn't feel that there was any useful information: Uzo's relationship network can be clearly understood by searching his customer guestbook. So he quickly threw the information aside and didn't care about it anymore.

"This kid is very destined to the organization. I hope he will grow up quickly and show his true power soon. That's when those high-ranking 'big men' will tremble."

Rum chuckled, his one eye flashing cunningly in the dim light: "It's really exciting to think about it, but we have to wait a while, at least until he graduates from high school. We can arrange it when he goes to college." A certain big shot was rescued by him, adopted him as his adopted son, and then brought Uzo into the society that he is now difficult to touch... In this way, it only took more than a year, which is very fast."

When Curaçao heard Rum's tone, he knew that he had made a decision, and he could not listen to other people's judgments whether it was true or false.

She had no choice but to sigh, give up investigating the reason for Uzo's precise silence, and brought up another matter: "The 'sir' sent a message before, saying that after the airplane incident was over, Maya Hashimoto would be removed. Under Uzo’s command.”

Rum was silent for a moment: "..." Can the boss pay attention to this matter? The relationship between this new cadre and the boss sounds good?

But after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is not over yet. It's normal for things like plane crashes to cause a sensation for a period of time."

Even if the matter is related to Uzo, the adult will not really take it to heart such a small matter such as the transfer of peripheral members, and it doesn't matter if it takes a few days to think about it.

The reason for this decision was that when Curaçao mentioned this matter, Rum had an idea and had some conjecture: Could it be that Uzo really found out about his target of silence through some methods, and then killed him? Are those people showing kindness to him?

If this is the case, you can wait until Uzo takes the initiative to contact him with this result. At that time, he will send out the peripheral members as a reward, and establish contacts with each other - running to grab the good seedlings discovered by others is easy to attract criticism, but if it is that seedling, he wants to have better development. , came to him, so no one could say anything.

And if it wasn't a show of goodwill, but simply that Uzo accidentally killed his target, then regardless of whether the result was good or bad, Uzo would have disrupted his assassination plan.

In this case, even if the culprit is not punished, we can't give Uzo what he wants. So it's best to wait a little longer, wait until Uzo finds out and comes to him to apologize, and then he generously forgives the newcomer, shows his magnanimity, and attracts Uzo to his side.

One year is neither long nor short. If you want to recruit people smoothly, you have to put some thought into it.

With this in mind, Rum made a decision and said to Curaçao on the other side of the phone: "Wait a little longer. I will contact you when the time comes. Don't worry too much about this kind of thing."

After saying that, Rum put the matter aside for the time being in a good mood and started to deal with other work.

…

The next day, detective agency.

Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, flipping through the thick stack of paper that had just been taken out of the mailbox at the door of the office, dividing the commission letters, confession letters and various advertising flyers into three small piles, and then yawned out of boredom.

It has just been a few days since the plane landed. Judging from the news reported by Subaru Okiya every day, Shuichi Akai, a reckless and cautious person, is probably still sorting through a large amount of information, and there is no sign of showing up for the time being.

"The new little brother hasn't arrived yet." Jiang Xia rubbed the mermaid's crystal jelly-like tail with some confusion. He followed the tattoos and chatted with the ghosts, "Is the organization's efficiency in personnel transfer too low? "

The mermaid pushed his hand, struggled to pull her tail out of the claws, slapped him twice in protest, and swam away angrily.

Jiang Xia fished a handful but failed to catch it, so she simply changed to a ghost to hold it and continued to think about her own affairs.

After the case was over, he originally wanted to talk to his new aloe-flavored colleague about the case and connect with each other.

Unexpectedly, just after the case was concluded, the Curaçaoan disappeared - she seemed to have applied for a short-term business trip to another place, and the distance between her and the real person was too far, so she couldn't even find the ghost.

"As expected, organizational cadres don't have fuel-efficient lamps. At least they are very good at hiding." Jiang Xia was worried about this. He took inventory of the inventory in the pattern space before he felt calm again. "Fortunately, I have already obtained a lot of aloe vera-flavored murderous aura. I should It’s enough to last until the next meeting, so I’ll have to collect more next time.”

The days of waiting alone are a bit boring.

After spending a whole day in the office, Jiang Xia discovered that compared to this empty detective agency without a boss, it was the classmates who had more cases.

Thinking like this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and send a message to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko. Ask them what their recent plans are, especially if they have any plans to go out and relax.

"After finally finishing the exam, of course I have to go out and have some fun!"

It was time for get out of class to end now. After receiving his message, Suzuki Sonoko called immediately.

The energetic female high school student said excitedly: "Do you remember the school festival I said? Our class planned to perform a stage play. Originally, we wanted to borrow the theater where Tamanosuke Ito was, but a murder just happened there, and there was no one there. It has not been cleaned and will not be borrowed for the time being.

"I casually complained to my sister this morning, but who knew she actually helped me solve this problem - she had bought an island at a low price, and there happened to be an old theater on it, and we could rent it out for training!"
