Conan’s Corpse Picker

"Okay~" Belmod dipped the paint in, held Jiang Xia's arm with one hand to fix it, and stretched the other hand towards his face.

Just as he was about to wipe it off, someone suddenly spoke hesitantly from the side: "...Jiang Xia!"

When Belmode heard the familiar voice, his fingertips moved and the painting became crooked.

"..."

She nonchalantly hid a piece of paper towel in the palm of her hand, and wiped off the crooked application while it was dark.

Then Xun Sheng turned his head and saw three people.

——Mourilan, Mouri Kogoro, and Conan who was following them.

…

a minute ago.

The Maori father and daughter and Conan were originally discussing their trip tonight.

While talking, Mao Lilan suddenly saw a figure that looked like Jiang Xia in the crowd. If you take a closer look, it's really Jiang Xia.

However, it looked like Jiang Xia was on a date. Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment and did not interrupt.

Unexpectedly, soon, the woman who looked a bit social took Jiang Xia to the bar.

Mao Lilan, who wanted to eat melon quietly: "..."

Following her line of sight, she discovered Jiang Xia's Conan: "..."

...it doesn't feel good.

I think of Jiang Xia's character who doesn't like to refuse and will go with anyone who invites him.

Mao Lilan couldn't help but stepped forward, spoke to them, and stopped the two of them from walking towards the drinks.

…

Watching the three Maori people coming over.

Belmod leaned against Jiang Xia and said with a low smile in a relaxed tone of a bystander: "Oh, your friend discovered it."

"..." Jiang Xia didn't expect to meet his favorite trio of neighbors in this place.

He glanced at the time.

Normally at this time, Mao Lilan should already be cooking.

And today, since she appears here, it means that the Maori family may be planning to go out to eat - in addition to bars, there are many specialty restaurants nearby, which is considered a relatively well-known dining street.

Jiang Xia was briefly torn between "bar" and "neighbor army".

Then decisively decided to join the latter.

According to the current situation, at least tonight, it is probably impossible to drink the new sweet wine of the season.

——The Maori father and daughter are quite easy to fool, but for some reason, Conan’s gaze when he looked over was particularly suspicious: he stared at Belmod with such sharp eyes that it was not surprising that Belmod would suddenly turn into a murderer in the next second. …

Judging from this posture, Jiang Xia thought that even if she said goodbye to her neighbors next time, Conan might slip away from the Maori father and daughter and come to follow them... He can't be steady when drinking.

In this case, it is better to simply join them.

After all, meeting these three lovely neighbors is an excellent sign for a psychic.

As for the matter that I want to talk to Belmode, I can actually talk about it anytime, even by sending an email, and this is the right time.

…

Belmode saw Jiang Xia walking towards her angel and cool guy and thought he was just going over to say hello in a friendly way.

Unexpectedly, after saying hello, Uzo actually stayed with the Maori family and refused to leave, as if he wanted to spend the night together.

Belmode: "..."

The corners of her eyes twitched, and she once again had some unhappy understanding of her position in Uzo's heart.

However, when Mao Lilan turned to her and asked a little hesitantly, "Want to come together?"

Belmod's rainy mood improved a lot. She hesitated briefly and nodded.

...It’s not that I want to sit at the same table with the three high school students in front of me and enjoy the fun atmosphere.

But judging from the character she showed towards Uzo, it was strange to refuse her now.

but……

Bermod suddenly thought: Uzo concealed Shinichi's shrinkage from the organization. When asked before, he also insisted that Kudo Shinichi was dead...Uzo obviously cares about these two shichiro, since In this way, why are they not afraid of members of the dangerous organization "Belmode" approaching them? ——In the eyes of others, Belmode did not know Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, let alone have any special feelings for the two furry children.

But now...

Belmode couldn't help but think of the incident a few hours ago when Uzo readily agreed to attend the appointment.

...suspicious things have increased.

The doubts she had suppressed before came to life again.

"..." Uzo must have noticed something. For example, her unusual attention to Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi...or "Conan".

...No, not necessarily.

Belmode quickly thought of other possible explanations:

It is said that Uzo once sank one of the organization's expensive refit boats in order to drink gin and vodka to attend one of his plays. Moreover, it is obviously not the first time that Uzo has done something similar like "wrecking the organization in order to attract people to watch the death drama".

In other words, when Uzo acted, the driving force brought by interest obviously overrode his respect for the organization.

...No, to be precise, Uzo doesn't seem to have much respect for the organization at all. Maybe just because "Jiang Xia" was born here, and the organization happened to provide him with a lot of assassination lists, Wu Zuo felt more comfortable in the organization and simply stayed there.

"..." Since he doesn't have much respect for the organization, let alone her - just now Uzo walked up to angel and cool guy, maybe he didn't think too much about it, just because he liked to do that. And I... was simply ignored by him.

Belmode found a conclusion that seemed quite reasonable and could convince him.

Then he put aside his doubts for the time being and joined the team reservedly.

…

ten minutes later.

The top floor of Shibahama Building.

In the newly opened open-air rooftop restaurant.

The four people sat in a circle, eating the side dishes on the table and watching the performance on the stage.

Mouri Kogoro didn't come with them - he met an old classmate he hadn't seen in ten years and made an appointment to have a drink.

Belmode was the only adult present.

She pulled up the beach chair and sat down, looking around - mainly the three people sitting around the same table. Can't help but smile a little relaxedly.

… It’s great to follow Uzo. Although there are risks, the current scene cannot be experienced at any time.

…

Today is the first day of the rooftop restaurant’s opening.

In addition to many free side dishes, the restaurant also organized performances.

Mao Lilan was lucky enough to win the second prize at the supermarket where she bought food, and she could choose a table among several VIP seats today.

She chose a seat near the front - for the warm-up performance at the rooftop restaurant, several well-known bands came.

At this time, the atmosphere on the stage was heating up, and a rhythmic and penetrating female voice sounded in the blue beach scene. The heroic female host said enthusiastically: "Thank you all for coming! - Next, I will give you the most enthusiastic song, Everlasting Luv!"
