Corpse collector in Conan

In addition, Toru Amuro has no idea what commission Jiang Xia has received and cannot answer Conan's questions.

Therefore, his attention was naturally focused on digging out the loopholes in Conan's words:

"You didn't ask Jiang Xia because you couldn't contact him?

"He is almost an adult. He only accepted the commission in the afternoon. In the evening, you thought he had lost contact and started looking for someone... What happened in the middle?

"Also, where did you hear that he had a commission in the afternoon? He specifically told others and you heard it?"

If the answer to the last question is yes, it means that Jiang Xia realized that there was a danger in today's commission, so he left clues to trusted people in advance... Having said that, why didn't you come to him? He is more reliable than Jiang Xia's high school classmates. Could it be that Jiang Xia thinks he is too busy?

"..." Conan was hit head-on by a series of questions, and suddenly he understood why the people he had questioned before gradually became less friendly.

He hesitated. I remembered that I had reported Toru Amuro to the Megure Police Department for carrying a gun with him. After that, the Megure Police Department took no other action, indicating that the police did not find any problem with Toru Amuro, and the boss of the detective agency was barely credible.

And there are currently no other clues.

Conan then decided to reveal some details: "Brother Jiang Xia's classmates invited him to go to the concert this afternoon, but brother Jiang Xia said he had a commission today and refused. I overheard the news at that time. And then today evening……"

He briefly told what had just happened.

Of course, all content related to Kudo Shinichi was omitted, except that he heard another person's voice on the phone call from Jiang Xia, and that person could not have appeared next to Jiang Xia at the time.

Toru Amuro listened in silence, and couldn't help but glance at the receiver on the way. The more he listened, the more he felt that something was not right about this kid named Conan.

Although he is only a first-grade elementary school student, his words are fluent and his logic is clear. And it seems that he discovered the abnormality by himself, rather than being told by others - if it were any other child, he might have been easily deceived by the person who changed his voice, and would not have thought that there was someone pretending to be on the other side of the phone.

However, when talking about first-grade children, another figure appeared in Toru Amuro's mind uncontrollably.

——That was another little boy he met at the Izu Princess Hotel.

Although the child wrapped in a scarf is not as long-winded as Conan, he is good at playing tricks, calculating, and is very accurate in pricking needles. And Toru Amuro was confused by his appearance at the time, and he was careless and actually fell into the trap... Such a move In contrast, Toru Amuro felt a little weird, so he immediately suppressed it.

Perhaps he has been away from childhood for too long and lacks a correct understanding of today's children... The flowers of the motherland are really getting stronger and stronger, but the direction of growth is worrying. Especially the little boy who loves to stick needles.

Toru Amuro was distracted for a moment, and his thoughts quickly returned to normal.

Although he knew the general situation from Conan's description, he was still unable to use this information to see what the purpose of the person who controlled Jiang Xia's mobile phone was.

In addition, when talking about "voice change", he remembered a person.

Belmod, known as the "Thousand-Faced Witch".

According to Tohru Amuro's information, Belmode had secretly arrived in Tokyo from the United States not long ago.

...If it were her, she could indeed accomplish such a thing, but her motives were puzzling—why would a new organizational cadre target Jiang Xia, who had almost no connection with the organization?

...Wait a minute, if you insist on saying so, it can’t be regarded as completely unrelated. In the impression, Bellmode seemed to hate Shirley. Part of the reason she came to Tokyo was to track down the defected bottle of watered wine.

And among Shirley's few interpersonal relationships, Jiang Xia obviously ranks high.

If I remember correctly, Ginjiu approached Jiang Xia because of this.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Belmode came again.

...And Belmode has always liked to consume members of the organization. No one with a code name can escape, let alone peripheral cannon fodder. If this continues, even if Jiang Xia doesn't do anything, she may be angered and silenced.

Toru Amuro gradually frowned, feeling that the situation was a bit critical.

After hanging up the phone on Conan, he first called Jiang Xia to confirm.

After discovering that Jiang Xia's mobile phone was indeed turned off in a rare state, Toru Amuro took out another mobile phone.

As a man with multiple jobs and multiple salaries, he also has more than one phone.

Toru Amuro doesn't have Belmod's current mobile phone number, but as far as he knows, Belmod and Gin have a pretty good relationship.

Moreover, Gin has many part-time businesses, including some personnel rights. After Belmod comes here, he will definitely contact him. Therefore, Gin may know what Belmode has been doing recently, whether he has been free to persecute innocent underage members.

After entering Gin's phone number, Toru Amuro pressed the dial button without any hesitation, without any guilt that he was taking up the organization's labor force.

The fact that it can make Gin busy is something that makes his mood +1.

In addition, even if Jiang Xia's disappearance has nothing to do with Belmod, it can be a good excuse to find out the news - in normal times, Bourbon asking about Belmode's whereabouts for no reason would be a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it. .

But now, Belmode may have taken Jiang Xia away, and Jiang Xia is now his employee. If he asks about it again, it will be more legitimate.

The phone rang several times before someone on the other side picked up.

Gin's voice came, accompanied by the sound of flipping through the schedule: "What's the matter?"

They really are working all the time... Fortunately, there are not many people like this in the organization. Toru Amuro was a little worried at first, but he quickly felt relieved.

"Jiang Xia has lost contact. I suspect he is in Belmode."

Toru Amuro skipped the reasoning process and directly stated the conclusion, adding a provocation as he habitually said:

"You guys have the same idea of ​​​​looking for Shirley. When you can't find someone, you take it out on unrelated members - because you don't know where to start and you are too embarrassed to sit around, so you have to use this kind of ineffective work to fill the empty time so that you can make yourself happy. Have an illusion of high efficiency?”

Gin said coldly: "Recovering Shirley is the task of all cadres in Tokyo, including you, an intelligence agent who has taken a lot of money from the organization but has not even found a hair on Shirley. You are also worthy of this Something to mock me with?"

Halfway through his sneer, he suddenly remembered that many of the funds that went into Bourbon's pocket were obtained by himself through hard work, and his smile suddenly disappeared.
