Conan’s Corpse Picker

Akai Shuichi: "Think about it carefully. Until now, we still know nothing about Uzo - he is hiding and we are hiding. We want to pluck out such a mysterious element from the dark while the other party is prepared. Coming out is very difficult.

"But on the other side, Belmode is not like this. Now she is in the light and we are in the dark. Unless she voluntarily gives up her identity as the school doctor of Didan Middle School, the advantage and initiative will be on our side.

"In short, instead of continuing to be led by Uzo, it is better to postpone the pursuit of him and focus on Belmod. Compared with that shadow-like opponent, this Thousand-faced Witch can actually allow us to catch him. Something in the hand.”

Several FBI agents were a little confused by his previous words, but they understood his subsequent conclusion "in short".

——In other words, it seems that we don’t have to deal with Uzo anymore, and we only need to concentrate on dealing with Belmod?

...Is there such a good thing?

Although they had already seen how difficult and ruthless the Thousand Faced Witch was, but comparing the two of them, at this moment, they suddenly felt like their souls were relaxed.

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" The agent with dark circles under his eyes said excitedly. After the words fell, he came back to his senses, quickly cleared his throat and said seriously, "That... I mean, Mr. Akai is wise!"

Akai Shuichi glanced at him: "..." A few days ago, he felt that the boy's eyes were a bit strange when he looked at him, but he never understood what was so strange... Now after such a comparison, he suddenly understood everything. ——The look of admiration and support now seems to be the look he is used to from his colleagues.

...instead of the silent prayer a while ago that she wished he would have a car accident and stay in bed for a few more days.

This unexpected discovery made Akai Shuichi wake up from a dream, and a layer of cold sweat silently broke out on his forehead.

Backstabbing from colleagues is the hardest to guard against, just as he was only one step away from catching Gin as his partner - if some of his colleagues secretly betrayed him, then Akai Shuichi might also fall into the trap without knowing it. Uzo's claws brought an end to this half-long life.

This made him feel a little lucky that he discovered the problem in time and didn't completely fall into that person's trap.

Akai Shuichi: "..." Having said that, no matter how timely it is discovered, it is difficult to fill the cracks in people's hearts... It seems that before Uzo is arrested, he has to minimize his activity time in the base and act cautiously. The snacks and drinks here I can't eat it anymore.

In addition, Akai Shuichi silently swallowed the second half of the plan he just wanted to say: the FBI team was responsible for investigating Belmode, and he himself, after getting rid of Uzo's gaze, returned to the darkness and continued to collect clues about Uzo. Wait until the time is right before taking action.

Of course, you will inevitably need the help of your colleagues when you take action... But the future will be discussed later. By that time, colleagues will probably have gotten rid of Uzo's little psychological trap, and everyone can return to a harmonious cooperative relationship.

Several FBI agents who learned about the new direction were overjoyed and wanted to go back immediately to burn through the thick pile of investigation lists.

Judy thought of one thing: "But on the Bellmode side... Since Uzo knows about our existence, she must also know about it. Can this still be regarded as 'she is showing us and hiding it'?"

Akai Shuichi came back to his senses and shook his head: "Didn't I say before that the members of that organization are far from as harmonious as you imagined. There are many desperadoes who cooperate while sincerely hoping that the other party will die suddenly in the next second. Now, even if the time is right, they don’t mind contributing to each other’s death.”

"To take a step back, even if the relationship is not so tense, they rarely share information internally - as far as I know, Belmode's life has not been too smooth recently, and he has had several unlucky experiences."

Not to mention, in today's bank robbery alone, Belmode was exposed to the gunpoint of the gangsters along with him.

No matter how powerful Uzo was, he couldn't prevent the bullets from going to Belmod at all... It can be seen that even if the two people cooperated, they were far from close enough to exchange various information.

in addition……

"Even if Uzo tells Belmod about our existence, as long as Belmod is unwilling to give up her identity as the school doctor of Emperor Dan, we can pretend to leave, and then lurk around her again after getting out of her sight."

Speaking of this, Shuichi Akai touched his chin, and his spirits were obviously better than before - after the experience of fighting Uzo a while ago, now the matter of "dealing with Belmode" is as easy as... Leisure:

"Even if Belmode gave up her identity as the school doctor and used her disguise to blend into the crowd again, we already have enough clues - she spent so much effort to sneak into that school, it must be because there is the target she wants to find there. As long as she has spent so much time sneaking into that school. We keep an eye on Didan Middle School, and no matter how many times she disappears, she will only come back to our sight."

Saying this, it seemed as if Belmode had it all under control.

The demoralized FBI agents were excited to discuss this new target, or the old target.

…

Unlike the FBI members who were in a great mood, a certain detective was in a normal mood.

In the corner near Tokyo Tower.

Jiang Xia looked down at the gun in his hand, weighed it up and down a few more times, and fell into deep thought.

Why is this gun so much lighter than when he sent it out?

Where are the bullets?

Where are the bullets filled with magazines given by Shuichi Akai as a gift, enough for him to play with for a long time?

When Kid returned the gun to "Mist Tengu" just now, Jiang Xia was busy sorting out the colorless murderous aura harvested tonight and didn't pay attention to too many details.

When he noticed it now, it seemed too late.

"Kaito-san is really rude. He treats me as his own, so he uses bullets so recklessly?"

Jiang Xia was very touched by this kind of thought. He flipped through his inventory and took out a wisp of special smoke from Miss Mermaid that can turn the smoker into a mermaid for a short time: "It's a courtesy to reciprocate. Let the mermaid visit his house tomorrow and give him some special products..."

Although the return gift was arranged in time, the lost bullets could not be returned.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xia took out his mobile phone.

"At times like this, we should learn more from our boss. We should give priority to the organization when we can get the goods, and patronize our own business."

While muttering, he sent a message to Gin:

[I have run out of bullets, and my boss said that we should ask the organization to reimburse us for the reimbursement that can be made, you see...]
