Conan’s Corpse Picker

Belmode rubbed his chin with his fingertips and keenly noticed that the woman next to Mouri Kogoro seemed a little absent-minded - although she seemed to be chatting with Moori Kogoro, it was Moori Kogoro who was talking most of the time. The woman paid great attention to the time and her eyes wandered, obviously not concentrating on admiring the scenery.

Combined with this, Uzo's purpose of parking the car here is already very obvious.

——He definitely didn’t come to see the Dongdu Beach Bridge.

But to appreciate the cases that may happen around Moori Kogoro.

…

At this time, Belmode, as an audience member who took the initiative to be in front of Uzo, did not hide his appreciation of Mouri Kogoro at all.

She observed it naturally for a while, then looked at Jiang Xia and struck preemptively: "It's this mustache again - you seem to care about him very much?"

"I just thought he came by chance and was a pleasant surprise in this case, so I brought you over to have a look." Jiang Xia sat in the car, leaning on the window frame with her elbows, looking leisurely at the two people talking outside the car. people.

Suddenly he turned to Belmode:

"What you said just now is right - it's just that watching theater is really boring."

"So why don't we place a bet?"

"——Bet on whether he can survive tonight."

He raised his chin and pointed in the direction of Mouri Kogoro.

Belmod's eyes moved, and his heart silently lifted.

She didn't answer immediately, but took out a slender lady's cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a slow puff, letting her tone become a little casual as if watching the fun: "Oh? What are you betting on?"

Speaking of which, Belmode thought slowly, when did she ever say that "going to the theater is boring"?

After thinking for a moment, she remembered—just now, she seemed to have complained about the tricks he liked to use in order to trick Uzzo into telling the story of a new case.

Although at the time, Uzo seemed unconcerned and politely echoed her words.

But now it seems...

Belmod looked around at the river suburbs that were perfect for dumping bodies, and then looked at Kogoro Mouri in front of him who was so drunk that his eyelids were fighting, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

She had a calm expression on her face, but there was a faint feeling of regret in her heart.

… Shooting herself in the foot is simply a true portrayal of her current predicament.

If he hadn't said that before, Uzo's "unexpected" interest in Mouri Kogoro might not be as strong as it is now. And being noticed by Uzo is obviously not a good thing...

However, Belmode thought, since it is a "bet". Then, as long as she does it right, maybe she can try to fish out Mouri Kogoro from Usa's clutches.

After all, Mouri Kogoro should not be a target that must be killed in Uzuo's eyes, but only brought a little unknown "surprise" to his murder drama.

...No, it cannot be counted as "unknown". I am afraid that the moment this unstable factor was added to the script, Uzo guessed the changes that would happen next.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have met Moori Kogoro here so accurately.

——Belmode remembered that Uzo didn’t do anything like “checking his location” just now. The only times he took out his phone, he just looked at the time. In other words, their encounter with Mouri Kogoro here could only rely on Usa's insight and grasp of people's hearts that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

…

Countless thoughts flashed through Belmode's mind, and she tried hard to find Mouri Kogoro's way of survival from the clues as complicated as a spider web.

While thinking about it, he still had to have a normal conversation with Uzo to avoid exposing his abnormality.

Belmode knocked off the cigarette ashes casually, as if he suddenly realized something was wrong, and smiled:

"Speaking of which, this bet is unfair. I don't know anything, but you know everything - it's like the director and the audience are betting on the next development of the plot. How can I win?"

"Director, this description is not appropriate. I just followed you out for a ride and accidentally met my neighbor uncle outside who was targeted by bad guys." After a pause, Jiang Xia changed his words under the gaze of Bellmode "...", "Okay Well, if you really mind, I can let you choose first."

After speaking, he thought softly: "Appearing here at this time, and meeting Miss Shimamura, Uncle Maori actually fell asleep on the tram before... He stopped his neighbor from drinking, but he himself became drunk and sleepy, which eventually triggered a long sleep. Listen, It sounds like a warning...but it's too didactic, which makes it boring."

"..." Belmod's fingertips holding the cigarette were slightly numb. Uzo called Uncle Maori very affectionately, as if he was quite close to him, but the malice contained in his words was so strong.

She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and realized one thing more and more clearly: the situation didn't seem good. Angel may indeed be a light worth protecting for Uzo.

...But this is not necessarily the case for Mouri Kogoro.

The key point seems to be whether Uzo can understand what Kogoro Mouri means to angel, and whether he can understand the "deep feelings between parents and children."

According to Belmod's investigation, it seems that the relationship between Uzo and his deceased parents seems a bit strange.

On the one hand, Jiang Xia and his wife were very busy during their lifetime and often had no time to take care of their son. Jiang Xia was not a clingy child. Both parties were doing their own things and their relationship seemed very weak.

But on the other hand, the couple had just died in a car accident. That night, Jiang Xia sharpened her sword and rushed to prepare for a family reunion...

Belmode once sneaked into the hospital where Jiang Xia was treated a year ago and obtained relevant files from there.

Judging from the information at the time, the fatal wound on Jiang Xia's wrist was deep and the attack was decisive. Although he was found by a neighbor and sent to the hospital before he bled to death, based on the amount of blood lost at that time, the probability of being rescued was actually very low. Even the doctor was a little confused as to how this person survived... It can be seen that at that time, Jiang Xia was not bored and made a cameo in the script, but really did not want to stay in this world.

Based on this incident, at first glance, it seems that Uzo is not completely emotionless towards his parents.

…But this can only represent his attitude a year ago.

Can a person like Uzo, who has a very different concept than ordinary people, after experiencing all this... really still understand the normal relationship between a father and his daughter?

What if from then on, Uzo felt that the importance of his parents was "no more than that" and that they would become "potential dangers that lead to self-shark", and then enthusiastically wanted to help his friends eliminate this hidden danger in advance...

Cool guy's parents are now in the United States, and Uzo can't reach them for a while.

Angel's mother, Concubine Yingli, doesn't live with them. She is very busy at ordinary times, so she doesn't see much either...

After calculating this, among the four people, Mouri Kogoro, who was very close at hand, was obviously the most convenient for Usa to "do something by the way".
