Corpse collector in Conan

After hearing Usa's denial, Okiya Subaru lowered his head subconsciously to show his acceptance and reflection.

But soon, he suddenly felt that this tone sounded familiar - it was very much like the professor who rejected his idea step by step, and then ruthlessly threw "redo"...

Um? etc.

That being said, it's customary. After this, a less strict professor might...

Okiya Subaru showed an open-minded expression and secretly prayed that Usa was a good person - the boss who could say the words just now must not be too harsh. And Uzo is still young, maybe the new generation of the organization will indeed start to develop in a more civilized direction. After all, this is the mainstream of the times...

Luckily, Uzo does seem to be very talkative.

He unfolded the sunglasses he had been playing with, put them on the bridge of his nose, stood up, and walked towards the steps leading to the exit.

When he passed by Okiya Subaru, he lowered his hand and patted his shoulder: "Follow me."

Okiya Subaru quickly packed up the things he brought and stood up.

When he got down to the first floor, he had no time to pay, so he had to give up the change, handed over the bill and the change, and quickly followed him out to the street.

…

This area is considered an old city. Many residents have moved away one after another, and there are many vacant lots under construction. There aren't many people, so it's relatively quiet.

Okiya Subaru looked at Uzuo who was walking diagonally in front of him and the sunglasses on Uzuo's face, and secretly thought in his heart: This should be Uzuo himself, and it is the second situation he just speculated - Uzuo has already been killed due to some reasons. The reason has attracted the attention of some institutions. Habitually wearing sunglasses also shows that he doesn't want to be recognized...

The two walked one behind the other.

Soon, Okiya Subaru discovered that he was heading to the target's home.

He was thinking that Uzo might be negotiating with the target.

However, at this time, a taxi happened to be coming towards them and passed them by.

Subaru Okiya accidentally glanced at the car and was slightly startled - sitting in the back seat was none other than the chairman who needed to "disappear", Watanuki Giichi.

Okiya Subaru: "..."

Just now, I had been squatting for a while, and Watuan Yiyi didn't go out.

Now, Uzo planned to talk to the target, but Watanuki Yiichi happened to go out.

...Are they a little unlucky?

Okiya Subaru raised his head and glanced at the curly-haired young man in front of him, remembering just now, when the taxi passed by, the other person didn't look sideways the whole time, as if he didn't care about the car at all.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to give a tactful reminder, lest his boss make a mistake later and vent his frustration on innocent subordinates.

But at this moment, Uzo's voice suddenly came from the front:

"In the past month, Watanuki Yiichi has been trying to avoid going out.

"But he is not in good health, especially recently - he has frequent angina due to excessive stress. So he has to go to the hospital every Saturday for a physical check-up."

……Saturday?

Hearing this, Subaru Okiya clicked on his phone with some confusion and looked at the date.

Then I realized that I had remembered correctly—today was not Saturday, but Thursday.

Uzo didn't look back, but seemed to be aware of his movements:

"Today is an exception. Last time Watanuki Yiichi went to the hospital, he had a full physical examination, so he has to get the report today. He originally wanted to postpone it until Saturday, but the email showed that there was something wrong with the physical examination results."

"...So that's it." Subaru Okiya looked at the young boss in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

——Uzo knows this in detail, which shows that he has done a lot of research beforehand.

Looking back at myself, who just started paddling and doing the task an hour ago...

Okiya Subaru suddenly felt embarrassed. He wrote a topic eloquently, but when he was preparing to present it in class the next day, he suddenly found out that the professor had seriously worked on the same topic.

"..." Before officially leaving the organization, it is better to learn from Uzuo and be a good and conscientious subordinate... He pushed up his glasses, his conscience aching.

However, it seems that Uzuo has long known that Watanuki Yiichi is not at home now.

This is inconsistent with the guess he just had that "the boss wants to have a friendly conversation with the target and make the target disappear voluntarily"... How does Uzo plan to complete the task?

Under Okiya Subaru's micro-strip inquiry.

They were getting closer and closer to Watanuki Yiichi's villa.

…

While there was no one on the surrounding streets, the two of them climbed over the iron fence and landed on the ground.

Okiya Subaru straightened up and looked around subconsciously.

This piece of land is obviously privately owned, and it always feels like it is illegal to break into someone else's property without permission.

But then I thought about it... Although I didn't want to admit it, I was originally a member of the black organization, and the young man in black next to me was not a law-abiding companion to play with.

Okiya Subaru suppressed the thoughts that had just come to him and looked around as if looking at the wind.

Suddenly, he saw Uzuo walking to the corner, looked down, turned around and waved to him.

Okiya Subaru was startled, then quickly approached and followed the gaze of the young man in black.

Uzo was standing next to two trees, and the ground between them had not yet had time to plant turf. A bare piece of soil is dotted with a touch of rising green.

When Subaru Okiya lived on campus, there was a classmate majoring in gardening next door. The dormitory was filled with all kinds of messy plant posters, and Subaru Okiya also learned a lot from them.

"This is... a cosmos seedling?"

He looked carefully and quickly recognized the type of the plant. He frowned and thought: "It is difficult to survive if planted in this season. And there is only one plant... It should not be planted on purpose, let alone Like seeds carried here by the wind.”

While listening to him, Uzo took a step to the side, his steps steady, as if he was estimating the distance of his steps.

After walking, he stopped and took out a completely black folding shovel from nowhere. He unfolded it and threw it to Subaru Okiya. He pointed at the ground under his feet and said, "Dig it up and take a look. Don't be too rough with your movements. Don't hurt those small things." of vegetation, and don’t mess with the soil—restore it after digging.”

Okiya Subaru looked at the shovel and then at the ground, and suddenly felt that he understood:

According to the boss, is there something buried under here?

Moreover, judging from the current mission, it must be some kind of shady item that can be used to threaten the target Watanuki Yiichi.

... Speaking of which, many elderly people really like to bury important information or treasures in the ground, thinking that others will not be able to find them.

In addition, Subaru Okiya discovered that this just answered his doubts - there are no public places greened with cosmos nearby, and there are fences around, and there are no too tall buildings next door. The only one The high-rise apartment has not yet been completely completed, and there are no residents at all. Naturally, no one is planting cosmos upstairs...

Therefore, just now, Subaru Okiya was wondering where this cosmos seed floated from.

Now, the answer is obvious.
