Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 364 Uzo’s wariness of “Bourbon” (two-in-one chapter)

When they heard that Hui Yuan Ai was leaving, the three children's ears twitched.

They immediately looked away from Conan and all looked at Haibara Ai, ready to reach out to her and push her back to her seat just like they did to Conan.

...But Haibara Ai is different from Conan. She is a mysterious and cold female classmate who makes the children love but also fear her a little.

In the end, the three pairs of small hands that had no place to rest had to fall back to their original positions and hold down Conan again, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and follow Haibara Ai to leave.

…

Jiang Xia waited and waited. Unexpectedly, he only saw a familiar figure among the group of murder attractors he wanted.

Hui Yuan Ai watched as she walked out of the school gate. Soon, her eyes wandering back and forth were fixed on the other side of the road.

She pressed the baseball cap on her head, crossed the road, and trotted to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia nodded towards her, then looked behind her, but saw no trace of the other people: "Why are you the only one coming out?"

Haihara Ai hesitated for 0.5 seconds between the naughty kid and Jiang Xia: "They don't seem to want to go to the movies, so they changed their duty to today... Why don't you go back first?"

Jiang Xia should not argue with the children about letting go of pigeons. In this case, it feels a bit excessive to keep him waiting here.

After saying that, Hui Yuan Ai looked up at him.

Seeing that Jiang Xia did not show an angry expression, he was just stunned for a moment, and then said in a good mood: "I understand, you can go back first."

...You know, why don't you go home for dinner?

Haiyuan Ai tilted his head in dissatisfaction, but seeing that Jiang Xia was still leaning on the motorcycle and had no intention of going home with her, he couldn't urge her, so he nodded and left with a small schoolbag on his back.

Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone and looked through her mailbox and address book.

He said he was free today, so he was really free today... Anyway, he couldn't pick up the case elsewhere, so why not wait here? With the Young Detective Team and Conan here, there might be a sound coming from nearby after seeing the corpse. screams of terror...

…

Conan failed to make it.

After being bullied by the children for a while, he was helplessly elected and became the person in charge of facing Jiang Xia.

Conan looked through his half-moon eyes, took out his mobile phone that was almost out of battery, and dialed Jiang Xia's number: "Hello? Um... we got into trouble during the day and were temporarily left to clean up. How about we forget about it today?"

He slightly modified his rhetoric - if he was really assigned to be on duty today, the children should have thought of using this reason to reject Jiang Xia in the morning, but they didn't. So if it happened to be on duty today, it would be easy to be regarded as lying, or a temporary accident would be the most likely to be used as an excuse to lose Jiang Xia... Yes, a qualified detective should also pursue rigor in lying.

"It's okay." On the other side of the receiver, Jiang Xia said in a good temper, "I'll wait for you."

The other three children were listening in Conan's ears: "..."

Conan tried to persuade him a few more times, but to no avail, so he had to hang up the phone.

Then he looked at the three classmates who were squatting in the corner with dark clouds on their heads, drawing circles and planting mushrooms, and advised: "How about you go ahead? It's just a movie. As long as you don't make any noise on the way, you can go home after watching it." good."

"..." Mitsuhiko glanced at Genta silently. He believes that he can abide by movie-going etiquette, but he is very worried about his classmates, and Jiang Xia seems to have always regarded them as a whole, in case...

After thinking for a moment, Mitsuhiko held his chin, rolled his eyes, and came up with a new idea: "In this case, after we finish cleaning, we will hide in the campus for a while. When the time comes when the child must go home, Brother Jiang Xia will not be able to take him We’re going to the movies!”

"Yes!" Ayumi and Genta slapped their palms together, suddenly realizing.

Conan: "..."

...Forget it, just be happy.

He took back his phone and walked to the tool room, ready to get the tools he needed for cleaning.

On the way, when he passed by where he could see the school gate, Conan casually glanced outside and saw a familiar figure waiting on the opposite side across the empty campus.

Conan's mood was a little complicated for a moment.

During that period when he and Jiang Xia were not familiar with each other, when he first heard that Jiang Xia was hanging out with bad boys, he once imagined that Jiang Xia would come to school with a baseball bat, car lock and other things to block the door and beat people, and then After accidentally killing someone, he pretends to commit the crime and presents Detective Kudo with a three-choice problem...

Unexpectedly, I never saw Jiang Xia blocking the door in junior high school or high school, but I met her once at the gate of the elementary school... Speaking of which, why does Jiang Xia want to stay with these naughty kids so much?

Is it to repay the favor for helping the doctor, or does the children's vitality make him feel comfortable? Conan walked back with the cleaning utensils on his shoulders, lost in thought.

When he returned to the classroom, he looked at the three children with a look of condemnation, and decided to try to persuade them to watch a movie together while cleaning.

…

At the school gate, Jiang Xia's fingertips were beating quickly on her mobile phone.

Reply to customers' messages; browse the photos of domestic cats sent by customers to facilitate future searches; and also find excuses to greet a few customers whose names are familiar to him, so as to increase the sense of presence so that these VIP customers can meet them when they meet. When working on a case, I immediately thought of him as a reliable detective, and took the initiative to invite him over when there were signs of a case.

Time passes unconsciously. One of his younger brothers was going on a trip with his family recently, so Jiang Xia reorganized the cat-hunting territory during this period.

After sending the message, he looked up with emotion and saw a car with a familiar style passing in front of him.

After driving five or six meters, he stopped and reversed back.

The white Mazda parked next to him with precision and rolled down the window.

Amuro Toru's face was revealed behind the car window. He looked at Jiang Xia doubtfully: "What are you doing standing here?"

As he spoke, he turned back and looked at the elementary school on the other side. After his eyes turned back and forth between Jiang Xia and the elementary school several times, Toru Amuro seemed unable to understand the relationship between the two and became even more confused.

Jiang Xia looked at the extremely clear murderous aura lingering on Toru Amuro, and his expression was even more confused than Toru Amuro's for a moment.

But soon, as the car windows opened and the gentle breeze blew, Jiang Xia smelled the familiar smell of apples.

The ghost in his body noticed the abnormality earlier than he did.

The mermaid looked blankly at "Toru Amuro" and then at her arms. In her arms, she was holding a piece of murderous aura that smelled exactly like the murderous aura on "Toru Amuro" - it was taken from Belmode before. Jiang Xia gave her a small piece of it after the mermaid's hard work. Usually held as a toy, it is the mermaid's new favorite.

"..." Jiang Xia gently sniffed the murderous high-end apple fragrance, then took a closer look at "Amuro Toru" in the car, and fell into deep thought.

He suspected that this boss was disguised by Belmode, and he already had evidence, and he could even knock the person down and pretend to be captured.

However, before reaching into the car window and tearing off the disguise from Belmod's face, Jiang Xia had other ideas.

...I heard that the FBI is watching Belmode.

If she exposes her true colors on the street and is accidentally seen by the FBI, then in the eyes of the FBI, Jiang Xia, an innocent detective, will be easily linked to Belmod and targeted.

On the other hand, as long as Jiang Xia is not exposed, he is just an innocent victim who is approached by Belmode.

In addition, Belmode himself is not a person willing to seek death. Without her disguise, she might leave quickly to avoid the FBI; or after losing her disguise, she might choose to leave immediately because she could not achieve her original purpose.

As the saying goes, it's time to come... Rather than leaving as soon as they meet, Jiang Xia still prefers to pretend that she didn't notice anything first, so as to remove the murderous aura from Belmod's body, and by the way, "he didn't see through her true identity". ", encouraged her to continue to send murderous intent every now and then.

Since we don't plan to expose it, now, towards Bermod who is wearing Amuro Toru's skin, we have to try our best to treat Amuro Toru with the same attitude as usual. No, we have to block out all topics related to the police. In addition, it is best to have a different attitude than normal. So friendly... Tsk, when Belmod came, there were more and more strange vests, and there were more and more things to consider. Having said that, luckily Shirley came home early, and obedient children are lucky... Also, what are the FBI doing? Are they really following Belmode seriously?

A series of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Jiang Xia looked at the people in the car and answered the previous question in a natural tone: "I promised my neighbor that I would accompany some of his children to watch a movie for him."

Hearing this, "Toru Amuro" looked down at his watch, then at the empty school, and reminded: "It's past school time."

Jiang Xia explained patiently: "They are on duty today and will come out later."

"I see..." "Toru Amuro" nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

The car drove away quickly.

Jiang Xia looked at the back of the car going away and was slightly startled.

Belmode put a lot of effort into disguising herself as Toru Amuro, and even stopped to talk to him. She originally thought she was holding back some big move... but this is what happened?

Leaving now? ?

... Could it be that this bottle of water wine was not meant for him this time, or for Conan in elementary school. But have other plans?

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, took out her phone, and debated whether to give Toru Amuro a heads-up immediately or follow the direction where Belmod left to check the situation.

After struggling for a while, the sound of tires approaching - "Toru Amuro" with murderous intent on his body is back again, bringing with him a large bag of crispy and fragrant burritos.

"Toru Amuro" opened the passenger door, sat in the driver's seat and waved to Jiang Xia casually: "Come in and have something to eat, the kids are cleaning and playing at the same time. They can't remember the time. I don't know how long it will take to come out. "

Jiang Xia: "..."

He suspected that even if he couldn't see the murderous intent, he must have discovered that the "Amuro Toru" in front of him was a fake.

Genuine products are not so busy. If I remember correctly, it should be the time when Toru Amuro is busy delivering express...

With this thought in mind, he took another look at the natural-looking "Toru Amuro" in the car.

Although the other party's expression was indeed the emotionless and polite smile used by Amuro Toru, I always felt that Belmod beneath the skin seemed to be subtly very happy and somewhat expectant.

Jiang Xia thought about it and felt that she understood - looking at her wanting to use the burrito as a stepping stone and sneaking into the team as if nothing had happened, it was probably because she was moved after hearing what Jiang Xia had just answered and wanted to miss her. My godson Conan went to watch a movie together.

While thinking about it, Jiang Xia got into the car and turned to glance at the steaming paper bag with simple patterns on the armrest box.

The burritos are quite delicious... but when "Belmod" is associated with "food", he can't help but think of the scene where this unscrupulous witch wanted to feed him at Belmod's house, and then he thought of it again. Some embarrassing social moments.

"Amuro Toru" saw Jiang Xia's hesitation and was also thinking: Uzuo is really wary of people in the organization, and he doesn't want to touch the food delivered by Bourbon... But it's not a good habit to not eat on time at a young age. Children in school tend to lose track of time while cleaning and playing, and who knows how long they will have to wait.

She speculated on how the real Tohru Amuro would react at this time - Usa's vigilance towards food was barely concealed. In other words, Usa's current attitude might be his normal state in front of Bourbon...

Belmode felt that he had caught the truth.

There was a sneer on her lips, and she was about to say "Afraid of being poisonous?" in a teasing and provocative way.

However, before he opened his mouth, Jiang Xia slowly stretched out his hand, opened the mouth of the bag, and lowered his gaze to observe for a while.

Then he picked the one with the best-looking packaging among the pile of burritos, took it out and unfolded it.

Jiang Xia did wonder if Belmode might have put something strange in the food.

Fortunately, Belmode drove away too fast just now, and the murderous mermaid was still hanging on her body. According to the news brought back by the mermaid, Belmode simply bought some cakes and did not do anything to them.

In addition, the murderous intent can also reflect the level of safety - Belmod has no murderous intent directed at him.

If I had to say it, there might be a hint of it in the beginning.

But the parent ghosts remembered what Jiang Xia had said before, and after identifying the person in the car as Belmod through their murderous aura, they immediately hugged Jiang Xia's legs tightly.

So when Jiang Xia woke up from the brief confusion that "the smell of murderous aura does not match his face", Belmod's body was completely free of murderous aura... Well, the cake was quite fragrant, and the Belmod people were really surprised. A little bit, but the taste of the food is pretty good.

Jiang Xia looked at the paper bag and remembered the trademark on it. I will buy from this store next time too.

While eating, he continued to look at the school gate, ready to intercept the young detective team who might slip away at any time, and did not pay attention to the strange look from "Toru Amuro" next to him.

——Belmod stared at Jiang Xia who was eating, with a complicated mood.

She remembered her inference just now about "Uzuo is wary of organization cadres", and then looked at Uzuo's actions that were inconsistent with this inference... Taking advantage of the fact that she was now wearing someone else's skin, she said in a sinister manner: " Aren’t you afraid that the cake is poisonous?”
