Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia turned around when she heard the sound and saw the captain's daughter with a single ponytail approaching secretly holding an autograph book and a mobile phone.

Looking at Jiang Xia, she froze slightly.

After a while, he just strode closer, bowed and handed over the autograph book in one breath: "I, I like watching your show very much, and I also collected a lot of your newspaper clippings on solving crimes. Well, can I sign it?"

She hesitated for a moment, then whispered confidently: "There are also photos..."

Jiang Xia took the signature book and signed in his full name. He looked at the captain's daughter's cell phone and the "photograph" she mentioned, and suddenly remembered something.

He handed back the signed book.

Then when the girl took it and happily checked the signature, she secretly raised her hand and fiddled with the collar.

…

Soon, the captain's daughter got the autograph and took a photo with her cell phone, and trotted back to the room excitedly.

After watching her leave, Jiang Xia did not continue to look at the sea, but returned to her guest room.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, there were two men in black in the dimly lit corridor.

As expected, gin and vodka also came to join the boat...

Jiang Xia turned sideways to let the person into the room, and at the same time made sure of one thing.

——If Gin really suspected that there was something wrong with him, he would never get on the ship regardless of whether the camera caught the suspicious person.

Now, the sudden appearance of this leader on the ship proves that he was deliberately looking for trouble when he just dictated that "Uzo united with external forces to arrest him."

...Did you really stay up too late and affect your temper, or was Vodka muttering something behind his back?

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the gin that came in, and then at the vodka.

Then I found quite unexpectedly that for some reason, the murderous aura in Gin's body had returned to normal - when he was in the hotel just now, the model worker's murderous aura was clearly surging like a fountain, but now, he has returned to his usual "calm mind" A normal state with a slight hint of murderous intent.

Also, there was something not quite right about the vodka.

——I don’t know what he has to rely on. He seems to be much more confident than before... There is a problem, it is a big problem.

Jiang Xia looked carefully at the strong man in black who suddenly gave up his timidity, slightly confused.

…

Just after overlooking the whole situation from the perspective of the boss, and then realizing that Uzo's behavior was not too outrageous, the calm version of Gin approached despite Jiang Xia's confused gaze, and raised his hand to press on the side of the "necklace."

In fact, the fingerprint lock should be right behind the neck.

But not long ago, after a woman's request for "taking a photo" came from the bug, Jiang Xia secretly turned the camera to the side, so the lock also changed its position.

As the correct fingerprint was printed on the screen, this time, the necklace did not make any error sound.

After the verification is passed, the latches clicked apart.

Gin took the "necklace" away and threw it into Vodka's bag at the back. He turned around and glanced at this honest boy, and nodded secretly.

Vodka was carrying the bag containing the "bomb" remote control. The remote control is placed in the outer pocket. It is not difficult for Vodka to "accidentally" hit it through the bag.

However - Gin was quite satisfied to find that whether it was when he was meditating or on the way here, Vodka never tried to touch the "press Uzo and he will die" switch.

...Whether this is because Vodka knows the value of Uzo, or because he is following orders, or simply because he is not brave enough... In short, this can be regarded as passing the test of Gin being thrown away casually.

From this point of view, in the future tasks related to Uzo, there is no need to worry too much about Vodka's situation.

…

Having temporarily solved this small hidden danger, Gin's attention returned to business.

He looked at Jiang Xia and said in a deep voice: "That group photo should have captured the 'necklace' - there are no buttons on your collar, and you can't completely cover it up if you close it up. Even if the camera is hidden in advance, the part of the necklace that is exposed in the group photo The style and pattern are still very recognizable. People who know it will naturally recognize what it is."

This new "necklace" from the Equipment Department has not yet been officially put into use, and not many people know it.

But if this kind of photo is kept by outsiders, I always feel that it will be a hidden danger.

In the same situation, if it were vodka, Gin would have stopped the captain's daughter who wanted to take a photo just now, destroyed the photos, and started placing bombs on the ship - and when they got there, they would immediately blow up all the insiders. Of course there will be no traces left.

But Uzo is different.

——Unlike vodka, which has flaws everywhere, the "flaws" Uzo revealed one second may turn into sharp poisoning mechanisms the next second. Behind every seemingly "accidental" move he makes, there may be dangers behind it. There is some hidden meaning.

That's why Gin confirmed it like this, intending to find out what Uzo was fishing for before taking the actions he was accustomed to, so as not to get in each other's way.

…

Although Jiang Xia had turned the camera to the side just now, there was a bug on the "necklace". He was not surprised that Gin and Vodka knew what had just happened.

I had no intention of hiding it: "I told her that I usually don't take photos with others, but this time I wanted to thank her for her special service of letting me take the boat - so don't show that photo to others, just keep it for yourself."

"In addition, as you just said, there are no buttons on the collar of my dress. It would be very unnatural to cover the entire necklace. It is normal for a part of it to be photographed like just now. After the incident, I would excuse myself from catching a cold and ask someone to borrow a scarf or a turtleneck that covered my entire neck.

"In this way, after solving the case and getting off the ship for an interview, the media will have an image of me covering my neck. I will also wear a high collar for a while after that."

Vodka was confused.

Why did the topic suddenly turn to clothes? When the task is completed, everyone will go back to their homes. Who cares whether you wear a high collar or a low collar...

Um? etc.

Vodka suddenly remembered that last night, after he witnessed Takeda Shinichi's broken cervical vertebra at the Spider Mansion, he secretly thought that when he went back, he would change into clothes like his elder brother's that could cover his neck, and add a protective pad to avoid being used by Uzo. The fishing line he likes is a murderer...hiss, could it be that Uzo discovered his thoughts and was this a hint and warning to him?

But he didn't even tell his eldest brother about his plan... Uzo's powers of observation wouldn't be so strong that he could read minds.

Vodka instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Then I silently recited "Anesthetic Snacks" three times in my mind and calmed down a little.

...Calm down, this must be just a coincidence.

Having said that, let’s not mention the clothes for now. He did understand one thing.
