Conan’s Corpse Picker

When Maya Hashimoto heard "Edward", he immediately realized that Jiang Xia was asking about Ireland.

He glanced at the dark islands around him with his peripheral vision and said in a normal voice: "He was also on the plane. We would evoke each other's painful memories, so in fact, we have never contacted each other since we got off the plane. "

...If Uzo is really paying attention to this island, I hope he can hear these words, and then look for whom to look for, and stop pestering himself, an ordinary peripheral member who is recovering.

Jiang Xia didn't seem to pay much attention to Ireland. He just remembered that they were companions, so he asked casually.

Hearing this answer, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, like a detective who was good at pursuing details, his mind quickly jumped to another place.

He mused: "Come to think of it, you speak Japanese much more fluently than before." He still remembered that on the plane a while ago, Maya Hashimoto pretended to be a foreigner and came to talk to him.

Maya Hashimoto was very tired, but it was better to be questioned by a detective who was willing to reason than to hide in a corner and be found as a murderer.

He had no choice but to continue editing quickly: "Actually, my Japanese has always been good, but during that time in the UK, my accent was taken away by the environment. Now that I have been back for a while, I have adapted again."

Jiang Xia couldn't help but look back at the cup of iced black tea and touched his chin: He made up excuses quickly enough and it sounded reasonable... He was indeed his favorite little brother.

Unfortunately, perhaps because of the lack of a cadre to support him, Maya Hashimoto's murderous aura is not as strong as it was last time on the plane, and it only pops up occasionally.

Jiang Xia: "..." I really want to give him a surprise now and tell him that he is about to join another cadre, and that cadre is far more reliable than Ireland.

It's a pity that it is a bit hasty to directly reveal Uzo's identity to a younger brother who has just joined. And it would sound shameful for Uzo to stay quietly on the island for so many days for a subordinate.

...I still pray that the organization will work more efficiently and send people over as soon as possible.

Jiang Xia: "..." But thinking about it on the other hand, as long as Maya Hashimoto is still under the supervision of the organization, there will always be two organization members around him to guard him. Replenish it when it's gone, it's inexhaustible.

According to experience, people named "Taro" often have brothers named "Jiro", "Sanlang", and 4567ro behind them... I wonder if there is anyone behind the dead "Inozuka Taro" What kind of bloody brother would be willing to avenge him?

Jiang Xia was briefly entangled.

Next to him, Conan couldn't help but look up at him, suspecting that this neighbor had found a major flaw in "Mr. George": "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia came to his senses and shook his head: "I'm sorting out the clues so far."

He remembered something and looked at Kurosawa Kazuma: "By the way, since you are both island watchers, do you have any idea where Mr. Inozuka was killed?"

Kurosawa Kazuma: "..." Judging from the time, he was killed in the theater when he was about to kill you.

...It's a pity that I can't say this.

He had to change his words silently: "I don't know. We were worried that the man was still on the island, so we made an appointment to search everywhere." After a pause, he said, "Inozuka is responsible for searching the theater and the hotel. We might be able to search there." Find the clues.”

The two strange pauses between the words made Hashimoto Maya vaguely aware of something.

When Jiang Xia continued to walk forward, he couldn't help but move closer to Kurosawa Kazuma and asked quietly: "Are you really kind enough to help them catch the murderer? Is Inozuka trying to get the detective's idea?"

Kurosawa and Ma snorted, seemingly acquiescing.

Maya Hashimoto looked sympathetic: "..." I told you not to have murderous intentions, but you just didn't listen. Look, one of them is dead.

But this made him feel relieved: Taro Inozuka was killed because he wanted to take action.

Thinking about it on the other hand, there is nothing wrong with my anti-Uzo countermeasures. As long as he doesn't actively seek death, and has certain skills to deal with incoming dangers, and as long as Uzo doesn't come in person, the survival rate will definitely be much more optimistic than he imagined.

…

As Maya Hashimoto's mood settled down, Jiang Xia paused slightly ahead.

——Iced black tea, which was already scarce in production, suddenly became even less available.

Jiang Xia: "..."

How is it okay to start being passive and slow down before taking office?

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and came up with an idea: after recruiting Maya Hashimoto, he would be sent to assassinate Jiang Xia. Then he disguised the recruited Shuichi Akai as Subaru Okiya and left him nearby as a bodyguard.

In this way, two people are facing each other with murderous aura. According to Akai Shuichi's wonderful characteristic of "whoever is paying attention will get the same murderous aura", they will definitely be able to harvest a lot of refreshing murderous aura in a short period of time.

Jiang Xia: "..." Well... So where is Akai Shuichi?

Subaru Okiya has been released for so many days, but he still hasn't caught the target. The cunning FBI must be too calm.

…

In the resentment that the two new models have not yet arrived.

The four returned to the old hotel.

It was getting late. Going out to search at this time was easy to be attacked by sneak attacks, and it was difficult to find the target, so they took a rest.

The next morning the rain stopped. Jiang Xia began to visit various crime scenes to collect clues so that he could quickly close the case after meeting the police and move on to the next encounter.

As soon as he went out, Maya Hashimoto followed him: "I'm going to help you too!"

As we all know, the probability of a murder happening right under a detective's nose is slightly smaller. Even if there is a short delay by chance, with his skill, he should be able to deal with it for a short time.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." More importantly, if the murderer kills another person later, he can also clear himself of suspicion.

As soon as he went out, he suddenly found that there was someone else around him, including Kurosawa and Ma.

Maya Hashimoto was a little surprised. Could it be that this person also knew that Usa was behind the incident, so he planned to take refuge next to Jiangxia with him?

Maya Hashimoto: "Why are you here?"

Kurosawa Kazuma looked at him like a fool and whispered: "I am the one responsible for guarding you."

Maya Hashimoto: "..." He really forgot.

In the face of the threat posed by Uzo, even the threat from the organization seems less acute.

…

The two followed Jiang Xia all the way to the theater.

The stage of the theater was still in chaos. A huge chandelier several meters in diameter crashed onto the stage, pressing down on the corpse below. The surroundings were in a mess, filled with debris scattered when the chandelier fell.

Jiang Xia and Conan went to the stage, but Kurosawa and Ma did not approach.

He turned to look at Maya Hashimoto: "You killed this person, right?"

Maya Hashimoto: "..." How do I look like a murderer? Can't I change it?
