Corpse collector in Conan

Yagawa Koji originally wanted to try to scare Jiang Xia and make the young detective believe that there are indeed some things in the world that cannot be explained by science - such as the resentful ghosts who died in vain.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia was so calm that he accidentally injured the little girl next to him.

Yachawa Koji cleared his throat sheepishly and glanced at the food on the table.

Finding that everyone else had finished eating, he stood up and said, "It's getting late. We have to gather at five o'clock tomorrow. Let's go back to bed first."

…

A corner of the dining table.

Vodka, who had a very low sense of presence, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He instinctively wanted to stand up and leave the house quickly. But before getting up, I suddenly remembered something and sat there again, stretching for two seconds.

After three of the six people at the table stood up, he stood up calmly and walked calmly to the door.

On the contrary, Toru Amuro got up relatively late.

——He was reading emails on his phone.

Sent by my subordinates.

[We followed the direction Fengmi was heading and looked for it along the way, and found that the main road seemed to have collapsed due to yesterday's rain.

[The fog is too thick and it is currently impossible to determine where the edge of the collapse is, and the vehicle cannot continue moving forward. We plan to investigate the specific situation of the cave-in first, and then find him on foot]

Toru Amuro: "..." The road actually collapsed?

In this way, even if there is a signal, it will be difficult for rescue to arrive in time after calling the police and ambulance. Just like before in the vampire villa...

...Wait a minute, why did he consider "calling the police" as a prerequisite for thinking?

Toru Amuro pressed his forehead to suppress the strange thoughts.

——The one who should worry most now is obviously the missing Yuya Kazami.

Combined with the blurry photos of the scene sent by other subordinates, Toru Amuro always felt that Yuya Kazami seemed to be distracted and drove directly into the collapsed section of the road.

And the structure of that kind of place is very unstable. If the person cannot be found as soon as possible, the more time passes, the more dangerous Kazami Yuya will be.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro took another look at the location of the collapse.

Then I discovered that it was not too far away from this mansion, and it only took ten minutes to run there.

...It’s better to find a chance and go over there to see what’s going on.

…

As others started to walk out of the restaurant.

Toru Amuro slowed down and fell in last.

At the same time, he turned the volume of his mobile phone to 0 and made a video call to his subordinates. He planned to take a look at the situation at the scene and conduct a simple assessment... At least before he arrived, he wanted to find out a few possible risks of Yuya Kazami. Let the subordinates search the place first.

Although according to the plan, at present, Toru Amuro should focus on isolating Jiang Xia from others and observing whether this employee is an "Uzo" or an "incident physique".

...But in fact, along the way, the two of them kept encountering cases on the road and almost never stopped.

Although among them, the background of some cases is vaguely related to Jiangxia. But at this time, in Toru Amuro's mind, the possibility of "Esuka is Usa" has been almost completely covered by "Essence is just an incident physique".

Moreover, there was another characteristic that impressed him more than the incident physique.

——No matter where he randomly goes, Jiang Xia can accurately meet acquaintances.

...If this is the case, then the incident where Eka went to Tottori Prefecture to pick up Aso Minoru's commission a while ago, but encountered Gin, Vodka, and that "Usa" on the road, would no longer look so suspicious.

For example, today, Toru Amuro personally experienced Encounter Vodka.

If you think about it carefully, going forward, they even met Rum and Curacao.

...If this continues, Toru Amuro suddenly feels that even if one day he and Jiang Xia encounter the mysterious boss of the organization when they go out, he probably won't be surprised anymore... Alas, it's a pity that he doesn't know the appearance of the boss, Jiang Xia I don’t know, and I wouldn’t even be able to find it if I met it.

…

In addition, from Toru Amuro's point of view, Vodka's attitude towards Jiang Xia tonight is also very revealing.

——The last time Gin and the others came back from Tottori Prefecture, after Toru Amuro saw the file about "Usa" in Gin's bag, he just casually mentioned this new code name, which aroused a strong reaction from Vodka.

However, today, Vodka suddenly saw Jiang Xia at the door, but he just glanced at her and passed by, as if he was just looking at an insignificant passerby.

His attitude has been bland since then. Even just now, Vodka took the initiative to sit next to Jiang Xia in the meditation room...

In Tohru Amuro's impression, Vodka is very skilled in computers, driving and other majors. But among the skills he possesses, "superb acting skills" are not included.

...In other words, the attitude of Vodka when meeting "Uzo" is indeed very different from when meeting "Jiangxia". The difference is so big that it's like facing two completely different people.

... Speaking of this, there is another thing that is concerning.

——Why did Vodka want to take the place next to Jiang Xia just now?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suddenly thought of the way Rum was bored and looked at Jiang Xia from time to time in that high-end restaurant a few days ago.

He couldn't help but frown.

Nowadays, it seems that being too famous is not a good thing.

Not long after Jiang Xia became famous, he was already being targeted by those who were short of manpower in the organization...

Of course, in the case of vodka, the person who is eyeing Jiang Xia should not be Vodka himself, but the gin behind him.

Speaking of which, it is understandable that Rum takes a fancy to Jiang Xia. After all, private detectives like Jiang Xia may possess a large amount of confidential information through commissions from celebrities in the future, and can be regarded as an intelligence agent.

...But what does Jiang Xia have to do with Ginjiu?

These two people are completely unrelated in every aspect. Toru Amuro could not imagine the scene of Jiang Xia carrying heavy weapons and shooting arrogantly...

Toru Amuro suddenly wondered if it was because a long time ago, he mocked Gin that he had "no discernment". After that, Jiang Xia really grew into a famous detective with great potential, so Gin felt that he was slapped in the face. , so he holds a grudge to this day, and also remembers Jiang Xia?

"..." Gin should not have time to target a peripheral member in the growing stage.

But if he did encounter it, he might not mind a little revenge.

I don’t know if Vodka inherited his elder brother’s idea, so he paid attention to Jiang Xia...

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt vaguely uneasy.

He quickly glanced at the late-night forest videos sent by his subordinates, circled a few suspicious locations, and sent back the email.

Then he looked away from his phone and entered the hallway.

The corridor was empty at this time, and there was no one there - the few people who had just gone out after dinner had probably returned to their respective rooms and were resting.

Toru Amuro looked around and was silent for a moment.

...When he was looking at his cell phone in the restaurant, why did Jiang Xia go back to the house without waiting for him?

This is not like the polite and sensible employee. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xia would at least say hello first.

"..." The bad premonition increased.
