Conan’s Corpse Picker

! Okiya Subaru: "..."

Why did he suddenly mention his sadness...

The paper is indeed on the verge of death.

But compared to the professor who talks but does not take action, Uzo on the other side is the real "death line". When the two collide, he must give priority to his tasks. After all, if the task cannot be completed, of course there is no need to write the paper.

...However, this reason is of course difficult to explain directly.

Subaru Okiya pushed up his glasses and showed a gentle and helpless smile: "I have always wanted to have a sister. Every time I see other people's sisters, I always feel envious. Mr. Koda suddenly encountered this kind of thing... Although I have never met him before, but I also want to contribute a little bit... As for the thesis, it is actually the fastest to write it on the last day. I have already prepared the basic materials, and I just need to organize them into the thesis by then."

Jiang Xia: "..."

The reason is a bit nonsense, but paired with that sincere expression, it seems quite believable... Considering that this is a world where people can kill people for various trivial reasons, so just to "want a sister", give up Thesis and getting involved in a troublesome case are actually very reasonable.

Jiang Xia felt that this subordinate was okay and nodded, agreeing to let him join the crime-solving team.

By the way, he shared his intelligence and thoughts with Subaru Okiya: "I don't think Mr. Koda is lying, and Mr. Watanuki's reaction is indeed a bit strange... But everything depends on evidence, although I believe in my own observation. , but if there is a problem with the object being observed - for example, Mr. Koda's perception of the facts is biased because he misses his sister too much, then the observation results will naturally be biased, so it is necessary to continue the investigation.

"So I plan to go to Ms. Koda's company, ask her colleagues, and verify the specific whereabouts of Ms. Koda after work, as well as her situation some time before she disappeared. Judging from Mr. Koda's words, Koda Sanae was only there at eight o'clock in the evening. After work, she has a heavy workload, and occasionally encounters customers with bad tempers. If she disappeared because of something else, such as being too stressed and thinking about suicide, or having a relationship dispute, if she directly asks her colleagues, she should be able to find out from that day Clues were found in the situation.

"And in this case, there will be a big difference between listening to Masao Koda's report and listening directly to his colleagues - Mr. Koda obviously cares about his sister. He may find it difficult to accept that his sister committed suicide or had an accident. He would rather just go with it. Follow the clue of Watanuki Yiichi... Of course, compared to accidents, the probability of something going wrong on Mr. Watanuki's side is indeed not low..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia seemed to have remembered something, took out her mobile phone and started typing to send an email.

The two were walking side by side, Okiya Subaru being slightly taller. He waited for a short while, then turned his gaze as if naturally and secretly glanced at Jiang Xia's mobile phone screen.

I saw that in the email Jiang Xia was writing, the recipient was written "Officer Sato", which should be the female police officer just now.

The content is:

[To be on the safe side, in addition to Mr. Watanuki’s yard, let’s also take the opportunity to look around nearby - the client was right that Mr. Watanuki’s villa did not have a garage. He really can’t drive and has no intention of learning. . If someone had actually been killed, the body likely wouldn't have strayed too far from home. In addition, you can ask people nearby if Watanuki Yiichi has traveled with a huge box recently]

The more books you read, the faster you will read.

Before Jiang Xia sent the email, when he was doing his usual flipping and checking, Okiya Subaru also scanned the content.

He looked away, feeling more at ease.

——No matter which aspect you look at, Jiang Xia's ideas for solving the case are independent, clear, and well-founded.

In other words, Jiang Xia really solved the case on his own, rather than Wu Zuo secretly giving scripts to his subordinates.

His previous deduction seemed to be correct. Jiang Xia was not Wu Zuo's subordinate.

After confirming this conclusion once again, Okiya Subaru relaxed a lot.

Looking away from Jiang Xia, he suddenly noticed something.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the two children following Jiang Xia, both of whom were looking at him. He didn't know how long they had been staring at him.

Okiya Subaru smiled at them, a little guilty, but felt that the problem was not big.

Although his behavior just now was not very popular, it was not suspicious - according to Subaru Okiya's observation, many people actually have the habit of peeking at other people's screens, such as one of his direct seniors... Speaking of which , Obon Festival is coming soon, I have to take time to visit my senior’s grave. The senior is still a good person, but he is so nosy that it gives people a headache. If he hadn't peeked at the tutor's emails and saw the incredible evidence, he wouldn't have been silenced by the irritable tutor... huh?

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru's steps froze slightly.

But it quickly returned to normal.

"..." Jiang Xia is not a person who cannot see the light, and the email he sent is a normal one. The young detective was not the kind of outlaw who would kill others casually. He only took the risk to take a peek because he was worried about the progress of the mission. It doesn't matter, it shouldn't matter.

Okiya Subaru sighed inwardly, thinking that the only thing that was more worrying was that his behavior just now would lead to two children being spoiled and making them think it was normal to peek at other people's screens. but……

Okiya Subaru recalled the way the two children stared at him just now: one was slightly wary, and the other was wary but also looked disgusted.

"..." Well, this attitude probably won't bring any harm. The only thing that will be harmed is his own image... Fortunately, after the mission is over, he won't have much interaction with these people who are much younger than him. He will die once. Nothing.

Subaru Okiya continued to follow Jiang Xia's case-solving team silently despite his not too thick skin. He did not leave, waiting for an opportunity to give a hint.

...Everything is for Uzo's mission.

He is still young and he doesn’t want to die yet…

…

A group of people with different ideas soon came to the securities company where Koda Sanae worked during his lifetime.

Although it is late, fortunately, this company is in serious trouble and the overtime hours are long enough. Now no one except the boss has left.

Jiang Xia successfully found a colleague of Koda Sanae.

"It's Sanae's thing again..."

Inoue Ryoko has been questioned back and forth by the police and Koda Masao several times, and she felt a little irritated when she heard this topic.

But when she turned around, she saw that this time it was a famous detective who often appeared on TV, with two cute children, and her mood relaxed a little.

Inoue Ryoko bent down, pinched the faces of Conan and Haibara Ai, and replied patiently: "I have actually said this several times. Sanae got off work at around eight o'clock that day and said she was going to the client's house. What happened later, such as Whether she has reached Mr. Watanuki’s place, I don’t know.”
