Corpse collector in Conan

He and Maya Hashimoto looked at each other for a moment. The male colleague didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly he was excited: "You, do you still want to buy that piece of land?"

Upon hearing this, Maya Hashimoto glanced at Kurata Seiji and nodded, not very enthusiastic: He still remembered that this guy just wanted to regard him as a murderer.

Kurata Seiji walked closer and whispered, "How about this? I'll give you the seller's contact information and you can contact me yourself?"

The woman next to me was startled: "This is against the rules."

Seiji Kurata waved to her repeatedly, asking her to talk later. The woman pursed her lips and did not stop him.

Maya Hashimoto glanced at them suspiciously.

Kurata Seiji had already taken out a business card, wrote the seller's email address and phone number on it, and handed it to him.

Maya Hashimoto hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it. Although I don't know why this guy suddenly changed his attitude, but... Anyway, let's try asking at this address first?

He held the business card and looked at it, and was about to ask, but when he raised his head again, there was no one in front of him.

Looking towards the door, he saw Kurata Seiji dragging his female colleague, and the two of them fled from here.

Maya Hashimoto: "?"

... Could it be that this passerby is also his colleague?

Forget it, never mind. In short, focus on your own work first, and as for the rest... everything else will wait until you buy the land.

…

Kurata Seiji pulled the female senior and ran away. After rushing out of the subway station and onto the crowded street, he stopped, leaning on his knees and breathing heavily.

The female senior was also exhausted from the rapid running. She cursed: "You are sick! Why are you running so fast?"

Seiji Kurata: "You don't know what is good or bad, but I am saving you!"

Female senior: "Huh?"

Kurata Seiji glanced behind him from a distance, lowered his voice and said furtively: "Don't you think something is wrong with that guy? You don't know that at noon, the president asked me to prepare two contracts. I planned to kill him severely, but guess what?—The president died before I even got a penny!"

Female senior: "...?"

Seiji Kurata: "Then in the afternoon, he pestered Kiyomi, but Kiyomi didn't respond. He left angrily. As a result, it was just evening and Kiyomi was dead!"

Female senior: "!"

She touched the goosebumps on her arms and said rigorously: "Could it be a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence!" Kurata Seiji waved his hand, "I just planned to provide evidence and send him in, but unfortunately failed. In this case, I can only give him the contact information of the seller first, otherwise What if he finds our agency again and someone in the company dies? I don’t want to be questioned as a suspect again, let alone lying on the ground with a group of people watching.”

The female senior muttered: "If you put it that way, this person is a bit evil. But when it comes to cases, Jiang Xia was also present in both cases."

"..." Kurata Seiji's mind froze for a moment, and he suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. He said decisively, "Then let's stay away from him in the future!"

Female senior: "..."

She originally wanted to ask Jiang Xia for an autograph, but unfortunately she was dragged away by Kurata Seiji just now. And it doesn't seem appropriate to go back now.

The corpse that fell to the ground just now really frightened her. After a moment of hesitation, the female senior did not have the courage to return to the original place: "Okay, but I still think it is a coincidence that Jiang Xia is there. After all, neither the president nor Qingmei offended him... "

The two people talked in low voices and walked away quickly as if they were being chased by ghosts.

…

At the station, the police were still busy cleaning up the aftermath.

"The murderer used an alkaloid poison, which is relatively rare. Not many people use it here. Some South American natives use it on blowguns. The murderer said she discovered this when she went abroad not long ago. After listening to the tour guide’s introduction to this hunting method, she found it interesting, so she secretly got some back and used them for murder.”

The Mu Mu Police Department was a little lucky and looked at Jiang Xia: "Fortunately, you guessed the location of the poison. Otherwise, this unusual poison might have been missed during the test, which would have been troublesome."

Miwako Sato passed by Jiang Xia during her busy schedule and handed him a pack of wet wipes. She whispered in a voice that could not be heard by the Megure Police Department: "I just saw you secretly looking through the evidence. Go wash your hands later. Don't wash your hands." Take the poison back."

Jiang Xia nodded, pulled out a few, and then handed the wet wipes to Conan: "I just saw you secretly looking through the evidence. Go wash your hands later. Don't bring the poison back."

Haibara Ai, who overheard his conversation with Officer Sato: "..."

…

The case was over and it was getting late. Jiang Xia sent the two children home without staying any longer.

Maya Hashimoto left halfway, and Jiang Xia didn't stop him: today, both the murderous intent and the case were far beyond the previous levels, and I can leave work with honor.

Unfortunately, for Maya Hashimoto, getting off work is only temporary, and the new job is permanent.

Before it was too late, he edited an email and sent it to the email address provided by Kurata Seiji, and then quietly waited for a reply.

I thought it would take three to five days, or even half a month, to receive a reply like before.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, there was an additional email in his mailbox - the widow who owned the land responded to him and invited him to the mansion for a detailed discussion.

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

"This is so smooth. Could it be that Seiji Kurata gave me a fake email address and planned to persecute me or even murder me?"

Maya Hashimoto suspiciously investigated the address given in the email, and then discovered that it was actually Asahi Shengyi's mansion.

"It's not right, it's still wrong." Ever since Maya Hashimoto knew that there was Uzo in the world, she has been in a suspicious and vigilant state every day:

"It's a worthless land in the heart of the sea. She doesn't need to pay attention to it at all. She can just find someone to come and send me away. But why did she invite me to her home to discuss it in detail? - Could it be that some murder case was prepared there? You want me to go over and take the blame."

Maya Hashimoto was very hesitant.

But for the land Uzuo was interested in, he had no choice but to go as promised.

Before leaving, he seriously thought about whether to ask Jiang Xia to come with him, but then he thought about it, black is black and white is white, and the task given by Wu Zuo, it always felt unlucky to take Jiang Xia there. Now he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and just wanted to capture this place as quickly as possible.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself this time." Maya Hashimoto silently set Jiang Xia's mobile phone as a speed dial, always ready to hug the detective's lap to save his life when he was wronged. "It's not a big problem! At worst, I'll take Saburo Inozuka with me. Together, even if something happens, as long as I run faster than my teammates, it’ll be fine.”

Saburo Inozuka, who is taking a leisurely vacation in the distance: Ah sneeze!
