Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia had just stopped at several other crowded places in the square. When he came here, his movements were relatively hidden, so there were very few guests in the corner where they were.

Toru Amuro's female boss stopped by the dining car for a while and left reluctantly. After all, she was a social butterfly with a wide range of connections, and among the guests at the food party this time, there were many friends she knew. She couldn't always Staying in the dining car, I have to go over and say a few words.

After she left, there were only three people left in the two cars.

Jiang Xia seemed to have finally discovered how busy Toru Amuro was, and took the initiative to come over to help the boss, like a good and diligent employee.

Rum watched this scene, thinking of the apparent and true identities of the two people, and couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling a subtle pleasure of sitting and watching the fight between dragons and tigers.

Amuro saw his movements from the corner of his eye, and the alarm bells in his heart suddenly sounded louder: this boss was indeed very interested in Jiang Xia. Speaking of which, why on earth is Rum here today? Can't he just do his own business? He's always here to see what Jiang Xia does.

Before he could figure out the meaning of this cunning boss, Toru Amuro suddenly discovered that something strange had happened on Jiang Xia's side.

——An old man came to buy meals. Jiang Xia handed the things over. When he took back his hand, he was startled for a moment, then turned his back and looked at something quietly.

Toru Amuro suddenly became alert.

He glanced at the "old man" who disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then quietly observed Rum.

Then he quickly made a judgment: Judging from Rum's appearance, today's incident was not arranged by him. I'm afraid it was just a pure coincidence.

Toru Amuro: "..." It's just an "accident" that happened to Jiang Xia...

He thought of his previous long and seemingly endless trip, and for a moment he wanted to pretend that he had not seen anything, and immediately asked for leave and left here.

But you can't ignore the people under you. And think more optimistically: That wave of troublesome but solvable murderers is much easier to deal with than this guy Rum.

I was thinking very tangledly.

At this time, Jiang Xia turned to him hesitantly: "Boss, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll leave the matter here to you."

Toru Amuro glanced at him and saw that the young detective was lying with a guilty conscience: it didn't look like he was going to the bathroom, but the "old man" just now probably took the opportunity to send Jiang Xia a letter and wanted to ask him to go elsewhere.

In normal times, Toru Amuro might have taught him some lying skills.

But now that Rum is next to him, he actually feels that Jiang Xia's true appearance is very good: Look, this high school student is very unsuitable for the organization at first glance, and he was promoted to reveal his secrets in minutes. It's better to let him concentrate on being a detective that he likes, and it's not a loss if he occasionally provides information.

He quietly looked to the side with his peripheral vision, and sure enough he saw Rum looking away unbearably. Probably for this intelligence chief, this kind of acting was beyond the range of what he could endure.

A series of complicated thoughts flashed through Amuro Toru pretended not to see the problem, and nodded to Jiang Xia as usual: "Go and come back as soon as possible."

Jiang Xia responded, as if he was very concerned about that matter. He didn't even bother to recognize Toru Amuro's unusual look, and walked away worriedly with a small note.

…

Rum watched Jiang Xia go away.

Then he suddenly remembered something, glanced at Toru Amuro, and raised his hand to rub his chin.

Superb acting skills can make people believe even if they are used to play "poor acting skills" - Rum is very sure that the appearance of that guy Uzo just now was faked from head to toe, and maybe even that one was given to him. The old woman who handed the things over was entirely his arrangement.

Then Uzo’s purpose is worth pondering – what does this guy want to do?

Maybe it's the same as before, just adding a daily 3-choose-1 murder case as a little ordinary spice in the boring life.

But maybe... there's an ulterior motive.

Thinking of this, Rum glanced across the entire park. Looking at the police officers in the distance who were busy for this joint presentation, and then looking at Toru Amuro on the side - such a wonderful stage, such interesting popularity, Uzo is really willing to let everything today be so ordinary. has come to an end?

Rum: "..." Impossible, absolutely impossible.

No matter how you look at it, there must be a substantial sacrifice today. And the most likely candidate is of course...

Rum glanced away and fell on Toru Amuro.

——If I remember correctly, Uzo always liked to arrange some interesting killing moves for his "boss" every now and then.

I'm afraid it will be the same this time.

And now that Uzo suddenly left for other things, leaving Bourbon here, could it be that the place where these two dining cars are located will become Uzo's stage?

Thinking of this, Rum looked at the distance between himself and Toru Amuro, and suddenly realized something.

Rum: "..." Although he is not afraid of Uzo's tricks, now, he is just an ordinary sushi chef.

And if he wants to continue to maintain this identity and maintain a pleasant "I know you but you don't know me" interesting relationship with Uzo, his skills cannot be very good.

so……

Rum thought: "..." Although he didn't know what would happen in this park, why didn't he find an excuse first to keep distance from Bourbon?

Just as he was about to leave, Toru Amuro spoke first.

"Mr. Wakita." Bourbon showed him a smile that belonged to Toru Amuro, "I suddenly want to go to the bathroom. Can you help me look at the dining car? It's okay if it's really inconvenient. I'll find someone else to help."

Rum: "..." Huh?

Why did this guy want to leave so suddenly? Could it be that the stage Uzo planned was not actually here?

That's right, the view from this place is average. Perhaps Uzo wanted to see Bourbon suffer with his own eyes, so he thought of a way to let him go elsewhere.

This was just right: he took the initiative to leave, a bit like he was avoiding Uzo. But now, with himself motionless and Bourbon taking the initiative to get closer to dangerous places, everything was just right.

He waved his hand as if he didn't care: "Go ahead."

Amuro Toru responded and quickly chased where Jiang Xia left.

Rum watched his back, speculating with interest on what Bourbon would experience after he left.

Although Bourbon is also his subordinate, Rum is not averse to this level of infighting - this is the character of Uzo. When he really takes him under his command, this kid may not be able to help but persecute his colleagues around him.

Rather than everyone suffering indiscriminately, it would be better to introduce one or two people to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

The more similar things are experienced, the stronger the resistance will be, and the less likely it will be scrapped. From this point of view, Rum feels that this important task belongs to Bourbon.
