Conan’s Corpse Picker

"When Wu Zuo and I were hostile before, I wanted to use Jiang Xia's help to deal with Wu Zuo, but Jiang Xia first suspected my identity. Now I am forced to defect to Wu Zuo, and Wu Zuo wants me to deal with Jiang Xia. .”

Maya Hashimoto's thoughts stopped for a moment. After a while, he couldn't help but said in his heart: "Can't these two geniuses quietly decide the outcome by themselves? Why do they have to drag an innocent passerby like me in as a pawn!"

...Oh, no, Jiang Xia didn't use him as a pawn, he took the initiative to send it to her.

But the meaning is still the same: if he is unfortunately involved in the struggle between these two people, how long can he survive?

——Can’t accept it, absolutely can’t accept this mission!

The desire to survive roared in his mind, and Maya Hashimoto said carefully: "To be honest, because I always 'happen' to appear next to Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia has actually been wary of me. In this case, I assassinated him The success rate is probably not very high.”

Uzo tapped the rim of the cup with his finger, as if appreciating the crisp voice: "Don't underestimate the kindness of the detectives, that is their biggest flaw - as long as you take the initiative to contact him, no matter what your purpose is, he will agree to let you You stay with him, not push you away.”

"Stay next to Jiangxia?" Maya Hashimoto combined this sentence with the previous task of "killing him" and tried to guess, "Are you asking me to lurk next to him and then poison him with chronic poison?"

"..."

Wuzuo looked at him for a long time, finally sighed, and shook his head helplessly: "You have stayed on the periphery of the organization for too long, and your thinking has become like a thug. In the future, you must remember to kill with your own hands, no matter whether the killing method is simple or rough It's still a slow flow, it's just an unappreciable atrocity - now that you have become my subordinate, you should learn to give up this pattern in the future and act in a way that is more consistent with your identity."

"..." Maya Hashimoto read the meaning of this paragraph, and her eyes darkened: Usa wouldn't think that just one person could learn his silent assassination techniques, these bastard geniuses really don't have any Understand the suffering of the world.

"If it's an ordinary person, forget it. Maybe I can try my best to make that person die of a sudden murder. But Jiang Xia..."

Maya Hashimoto was in despair: "This famous detective has solved so many cases, seen so many weird tricks, and been in contact with so many criminals. Whether it is wisdom or experience, he has already surpassed many people. That "many people" "Of course, that includes me.

"Now that Wu Zuo asked me to use this method to murder Jiang Xia, it's like asking an ordinary primary school student to give a math problem that he can't solve for his math Ph.D.... Unless I memorize an unsolved mathematical mystery, it's simply impossible. A night story."

...Unfortunately, there are unsolved mysteries in mathematics, but not in murder.

When a person dies, there must be a reason and a process. The murder against Jiang Xia happened around him, Jiang Xia would definitely be aware of it.

Maya Hashimoto gradually began to doubt Uzo's purpose of poaching him.

The words "Stop beating around the bush, just kill me" were already on his lips.

At this time, Wu Zuo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and laughed: "Of course I know you can't do this now. I don't want you to really kill Jiang Xia, but this is a good game." practice opportunities.”

Uzo crossed his legs and rested a hand on his knee. He was like a good mentor who spoke with sincerity and said patiently: "The detective will not attack you without evidence, so from now on, you have to hold the murderer in your arms." To death Jiang Xia's mood and consciousness, carefully observe all the circumstances around him, think about how to use them, and quietly push him to his end."

Maya Hashimoto was slightly startled.

Then in a long series of words, he accurately grasped the most useful point to himself: "...Practice?"

...In other words, there is no need to actually kill Jiang Xia?

His tense heart dropped back to the original place with a thump, and he felt as if he had returned from the gate of hell again - this showed that Uzo was really setting out to train him, instead of finding an excuse for him to "die in the line of duty."

"But I'm afraid things are not that simple. Uzo must have other purposes for doing things." Maya Hashimoto secretly speculated in her heart while showing a grateful look.

Soon he felt that he understood something: "I understand! Wu Zuo must want to use me to interfere with Jiang Xia's keen insight and judgment.

"Immersed in the killing intent from me every day, if Jiang Xia is forced to get used to this feeling, he will gradually relax like a bow that is tightened every day.

"And if Jiang Xia's attention is focused on me, the person who 'sincerely' wants to kill him, then when Wu Zuo really takes action, Jiang Xia will inevitably ignore the insidious threat from Wu Zuo.

"It seems that although Wu Zuo appears calm and indifferent on the surface, in fact he is also wary of Jiang Xia, a detective - I made the right choice to seek help from Jiang Xia before! It's a pity that my organizational status makes it difficult for me to be thorough. Get rid of this terrible demon Uzo.”

Thinking of this, Maya Hashimoto had a thought: "If this is the case, when implementing this plan to 'murder Jiang Xia', should I be lazy and let some water go?"

The next moment, as if he heard his heartbeat, Wu Zuo said: "By the way, you are not alone. Sometimes some of your colleagues will appear around Jiang Xia - there will be no progress without competition, and there will be no progress after a year." People can only resign from me. Time is limited, you must seize the opportunity."

"..."

As soon as the loophole that I wanted to exploit appeared, it was blocked.

The corners of Maya Hashimoto's eyes were twisted, and she didn't dare to continue thinking in front of him. She could only convince herself to agree sincerely: "I understand, I will work hard."

At the same time, what Uzo said just now reminded him of Saburo Inozuka lurking next to him, and a chill suddenly rose up behind him.

Immediately afterwards, another figure also crossed his mind - Suzuki Sonoko, who he had once suspected.

Is this female high school student also a subordinate of Uzo?

Maya Hashimoto couldn't help but start to tremble in her heart again: "Judging from Uzuo's words, there are actually more than one of his subordinates lurking around Jiang Xia. I have had a lot of contact with Jiang Xia, but I didn't notice anything before..."

His scalp felt numb for a moment, as if he accidentally found a bug at home: On the surface, there was only one, but when the covering object was lifted, who knew how many were gathering underneath?

Uzo is so scary.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." But that female high school student didn't look very smart. If Uzo were to implement the last-place elimination here, wouldn't he be very safe with her here?

But the next moment, Maya Hashimoto suddenly realized something bad.

"She is the heir to the Suzuki Consortium. Such a person should not be a member of the organization, but was just bewitched by Uzo. Even if it is true, such a person who brought money into the group is probably not on the list of eliminations..."
