Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 39 Don't throw the pot at me

Jiang Xia returned to the main body, took out her mobile phone, and tentatively sent a message to Yoko Kinoshita: [Thank you].

The other party may be busy, after a few hours, I will reply: [As long as you like it ^^]

Jiang Xia: "..." She really gave it to me. According to the number of these albums, there should be no need to queue up to buy them in the future.

Miss Yoko is such a good person to send ghosts and pack small toys...

...

Jiang Xia rested at home for a day.

The next day, Golden Retriever and the others brought some newly caught cats and dogs. They are the lost pets of the clients.

Jiang Xia distributed the client's commission fee to them, and took the cat and dog to the detective agency.

Then he made himself a cup of tea, and while waiting for the client to come to pick up the pet, he secretly ruaed a few other people's cats.

From the current point of view, it is still difficult to get commissions for murder cases. The most popular items, as expected, are staring at mistresses and catching cats and dogs.

...

Just waited for almost a week.

Jiang Xia finally received another type of commission.

The client was an elegant woman in a kimono. At first glance, she seemed to be the wife of a wealthy family, but judging from the content of the commission, it seemed that she was not like that.

"I hope you can help me keep an eye on an antique pottery—that was mortgaged to the creditor when I borrowed from a private person half a year ago."

Mrs. Kimono sighed sadly: "Now there is still one month before the repayment deadline, and I will be able to save enough money in a week or so.

"But I'm worried that before that, the pottery I mortgaged will be sold by the creditor as 'interest'--the creditor, Mr. Maru, is a rich man, but he is always too... well, there have been many such precedent."

Saying that, Mrs. Kimono quietly looked at Jiang Xia.

Considering that even if this kid has some fame, he is still just a high school student detective after all, and it is not easy to fight against local bosses. So she didn't make too difficult a request:

"It's not realistic to prevent him from selling the pottery...I just hope you can keep an eye on the pottery and let me know in advance when Mr. Maru plans to sell it—if it's too late, at least find out where the pottery was sold to."

Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

It sounds like a boring commission.

However, after seeing the photo of the pottery taken out by the client's wife, the address of the creditor, especially the name and portrait printed on the business card of the creditor "Mr. Maru"...

"Please rest assured." Jiang Xia showed a reliable smile, "I will do my best to complete your commission."

The guests left happily.

Jiang Xia also touched the creditor's business card she left behind in relief.

He looked at the photo of the Mediterranean uncle named "Maruden Jiro" on the business card, and thought: he has waited for the commission of bringing ghosts.

...

At this time, it was already evening, and the detective agency was about to get off work.

After Jiang Xia received the entrustment, she waited in the store for a while, and returned the last cat left today to the client who came to pick it up.

Then he hung the appointment book on the door, locked the door and left.

I plan to go to Maruden Jiro's house to see the situation before going home.

...

A few minutes later.

Kuboto Town, a bustling intersection.

Vodka held the steering wheel, working overtime while feeling a little worried.

In recent years, the organization has not been very peaceful.

Five years ago, the FBI's ace agent "Shuichi Akai" sneaked into their organization as an undercover agent, and the undercover results were outstanding, and he almost captured Gin Jiu.

Fortunately, there is a reliable second-in-command in the organization, and Shuichi Akai has a pig teammate. With the joint efforts of the two parties, Akai Hideichi not only failed his plan, but also revealed his undercover identity, so he had to escape in a hurry.

...

The reason why Akai Shuichi came undercover was that he made a girlfriend in the organization—that is, Shirley's sister, Miyano Akemi.

Therefore, two years ago, after Akai Shuichi's identity was exposed and he left the organization, the situation of sister Miyano Akemi became difficult.

The organization has always wanted to punish "Miyano Akemi", a peripheral member who brought the FBI into the village, but was concerned about Shirley, a talented sister.

In the end, they had an idea and came up with a solution—to ask Akemi Miyano to grab 1 billion yen in cash, and lied to her that if she succeeded, they would let her and her sister leave the organization, and if they failed, they would kill her.

...Of course, that's what I said. But in fact, regardless of success or failure, from the perspective of the organization—Miyano Akemi must die.

...

When Miyano Akemi heard the organization's proposal of "letting them go if they successfully rob the bank", she couldn't refuse this temptation - she had long wanted to leave the organization and get rid of her identity as a "member of the black organization" to find Akai Shuichi and reconnect with her. He is together.

Before, because she couldn't bear to leave her sister behind, and because she didn't know where Akai Shuichi was, Miyano Akemi didn't make any changes.

Now, she decided to firmly grasp the "opportunity" given by the organization.

...

The organization originally thought that for Miyano Akemi, this was an impossible task. If the task fails, the woman can be killed logically.

Who would have thought that they underestimated Miyano Akemi's ability - in the past few days, Miyano Akemi managed to snatch one billion yen through planning.

...

Vodka is now driving to the place where he made an appointment with Akemi Miyano to "pay with one hand and Shirley with the other".

Vodka stopped at the crossroads, looked at the red light ahead, and sighed: "I didn't expect that she could really grab the money. Then, wouldn't we have no excuse to execute her?"

Qin Jiu gave a gloomy smile: "If you don't have an excuse, just kill him. A mere piece of trash..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly stared at somewhere outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely caught a familiar figure: "Who is that person?"

"What?" Vodka was taken aback, and looked where Gin indicated.

However, it is close to the city center, and it happens to be the evening rush hour, and the crowds are bustling. Vodka stared for a long time, but didn't see which guy Brother Gin was referring to.

So he thought about it, took out a telescope, and put it in front of his eyes: In this way, although it is difficult to find it, at least it can prove that he has worked hard...

Next to him, Gin looked intently for a while, and reminded him: "Diagonally opposite the intersection, the second row from the far left of the motorway, a black motorcycle with silver stripes."

"Oh." Vodka tried to look in that direction, and finally found the target.

He looked at it for a while, and felt that the motorcycle rider wearing a helmet looked familiar...it seemed to be Jiang Xia?

Before he could take a closer look, the bridge of his nose was blank, and Gin took the binoculars away.

...

Gin held the binoculars and looked at it for a few seconds, showing a pensive expression.

Moments later, the red light ends.

When the car started moving again, Gin suddenly sneered, and whispered thoughtfully:

"No wonder Miyano Akemi's actions went so smoothly. Not only did she get the money, she also found her accomplice who absconded with money from a city of tens of millions of people in just a few days, and recovered the stolen money..."

"..." Vodka reacted for a while, and gradually realized what the boss meant, he said in shock, "You mean, Jiang Xia is helping her secretly!?"

Jiang Xia is really good at finding people. This point has been proven countless times before, but...

Vodka thought about Shirley and her pile of health products that had never been delivered: "Didn't he have little contact with the sisters of the Miyano family?"

Qin Jiu snorted coldly: "Emotions can be faked."

One-way goodwill can also maintain contact. Especially for Jiang Xia's age...I always feel that it is difficult for him to really hate two beautiful women who always show kindness to him.

Before, Gin actually didn't think so much.

But now, when he suddenly met Jiang Xia...Qin Jiu, who had encountered countless undercover agents and countless betrayals, his suspicion suddenly flared up, and he gradually became suspicious.

——This intersection is very close to the enjyu city hotel where Akemi Miyano stayed.

Looking at Jiang Xia's direction of travel, she was heading there.

Qin Jiu: "..." At this time, at this place, someone related to the Miyano sisters...

In addition, Miyano Akemi's "extraordinary performance" in the past few days is also completely in line with Jiang Xia's professionalism.

If it's because Jiang Xia is helping her... then everything makes sense.

...

With an entry point, Qin Jiu looked at Jiang Xia again, and suddenly felt...

Suspicious, in short, very suspicious.

Gin thought for a moment, then took out his phone.
