Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 381 Conan: Gin is eyeing Jiangxia! ? (joint chapter)

   On the platform just now, when the mermaid swam diligently over to inspect the two murderous groups, she also saw the tickets of Yun Keitaro and his store manager by the way, and knew their destination.

   So even without spoilers, the gin question is not difficult to answer.

   Jiang Xia quickly replied: [OK]

After the    message was sent, the phone did not move for a full minute.

   It took a while before a new reply from Gin arrived: [OK]

  ... This is an agreement to deactivate the bomb and let Jiang Xia try to "assassinate" in a more peaceful way.

   Jiang Xia was not surprised by this reply.

  Gin likes to use firepower to solve problems, it should be because he thinks it is the most efficient.

   But this time, compared with bombs, it is obviously more efficient to let the **** of death quietly kill people.

  Because if a bomb was used to send an entire carriage to the sky, they would have to change trains late at night.

   But if you do it according to the method of "Uzo", gin and vodka can sleep directly in the car, and when you wake up, the target is dead, and the follow-up will not be too troublesome.

  Jiang Xia put away the phone, and then thought, later, he will have to catch a chance to go out with gin and vodka, and drive Xiaobai to make the bombs in their bags misfire.

  This weapon of mass destruction, in case it explodes in a crowded place, will undoubtedly explode a group of violent ghosts.

   And this is too heavy for a young psychic passing by innocently...

  …

   The box next door.

   Gin silently looked at Jiang Xia's reply message, thoughtful.

The vodka next to    peeked at the screen, moved uncomfortably, and whispered:

"Brother, do you really want to listen to him? This time is too hasty. And the boxes in the car are locked, and the target is not the kind of outgoing person who loves to talk to. The venue here is very narrow, in case Wuzuo is unfortunately exposed. , implicated in..."

   "...hurriedly." Gin repeated the word in a low voice. At the same time, he quickly combed through all the recent contacts with Jiang Xia in his mind.

   After a few seconds, Gin showed a clear sneer:

   "It's no wonder that when he talked about the mission schedule last time, he mentioned the Big Dipper - it seems that he has already been eyeing Izumo Keitaro."

   Thinking about it carefully, among the assassination targets presented to Uzo this time, the others were all in Tottori Prefecture or even further away, and only Izumo Ketaro was the closest to them.

   For Uzo, who has been so lacking in excitement recently that he is willing to go racing with passers-by, Ketaro Izumo is obviously more attractive than those targets that are hundreds of kilometers away and inaccessible.

   In the face of him, Uzo really held back for a week and did nothing, which is rather strange.

  ...Since this is the case, then this "random encounter" with Izumo Keitaro will never be a simple accident.

  Vodka was stunned for a while after hearing the words of Gin, and said in shock: "...This is also Wuzo's plan?!"

   He suddenly felt that the Big Dipper ticket in his pocket was extraordinarily expensive; the gun in his brother's hand suddenly became terrifying.

   Gin is used to the vodka’s swooning at the mention of Uzo.

   He ignored the panic of this stupid little brother and nodded calmly.

  Gin felt that he would have this idea of ​​"Uzzo arranged in advance", not because of blind trust in Uzzo, but a certain basis.

  ——The train they took will also pass through Yokohama, Nagoya and other places before arriving in Tottori Prefecture.

   In other words, passengers who get on the train in Tokyo may not necessarily get off the train in Tottori.

  From when he and Vodka met Keitaro Izumo on the platform, until Keitarou Izumo entered the box, Gin has been observing this mission goal.

   So he knew very well that during this period, Ketaro Izumo did not talk about topics related to the destination.

   While Uzobi and the others drove at night, they were so sure that the destination of Izumo and his party was Tottori without having had contact with Izumo Ketaro at all...

  According to Uzo's past behavior, if he said that today's "random encounter" was not touched by him, Gin would never believe it.

  When Gin was dissecting this young member with a little relief.

Next to   , vodka is struggling to digest the "truth":

They picked the most suitable and comfortable sleeper for travel, and they ran into Ketaro Izumo, one of the assassination targets, in the car. It seemed like a "lucky" and "coincidence" thing... But now , Brother Jinjiu suddenly said that all this was Uzo's plan.

   For a moment, Vodka only felt the aura of Uzo around him, and he was also covered with Uzo's illusory threads that seemed to be able to manipulate people's hearts.

  ... But, looking at the best, after thinking about it so carefully, vodka remembered - Uzo did say before that he wanted to take the Big Dipper train.

  Although it was just an understatement when talking about the mission schedule, Uzo didn't even deliberately "request", but just mentioned it like a chat. But seriously, after all, this is also the trace left in his planning.

   And as long as there are traces to follow, things are actually not that scary... Yes, as long as you stay vigilant, you will be able to catch Uzo's clues and prevent him from doing evil things such as assassinating colleagues and replacing them.

   Vodka soothed herself as she tried to subside the goose bumps on her arms and back.

   After a short pause, he murmured, "Why didn't Wu Zuo inform us in advance. What if something goes wrong? It's so unorganized and disciplined..."

  Gin snorted coldly: "If the script is revealed in advance, when the real scene is shown to the audience, he will not be able to get the emotional feedback he wants from the audience - we are also the 'audience' in his eyes."

  ... Of course, understanding comes from understanding, but Uzo's approach is obviously not worth advocating.

   However, to be honest, after encountering several mystics such as Bourbon and Belmod, the tolerance limit of Gin for this type of people has been raised a lot.

   And compared to them, they are both geniuses, at least Wu Zuo is not so yin and yang, nor does he casually consume organizational funds, fish and paddle, but in a sense, he loves his work very much.

   And he is still young, some bad habits can be corrected gradually.

   The process of answering vodka questions is also the process of Gin sorting out its own thoughts.

A few minutes later, Gin put away the phone, bent down to dismantle the temporarily assembled bomb, and decided to temporarily hand over the assassination target in the car to Uzo, so as to achieve one of the purposes of taking Uzo on this business trip - to observe him. state.

   Wuzuo will not kill himself, the probability of exposure is very low, and the probability of being caught is extremely small.

   And on the same train, he and Vodka should have time to take action if there is a mistake.

If Uzo fails unfortunately, the big deal is to continue with the previous plan - reload the bomb and kill the entire car, including the target... But if it really gets to this point, Uzo will be too disappointing .

   Hope things don't go in this direction.

  …

   Jiang Xia successfully stopped Jinjiu's plan to clean the ground, and secretly sighed in relief.

   As for their dark shark target, Boss Izumo, will he accidentally die on the train tonight? Jiang Xia doesn't think it's a big problem.

  ——The store manager who traveled with Ketaro Izumo has a very murderous aura, and no matter how you look at it, he looks like he is about to start.

   In addition, according to the information Jiang Xia had inquired before, the wedding of Kogoro Mori will be held tomorrow afternoon.

   If Kogoro Mori wants to take his family to Tottori Prefecture, the probability that he will take Conan to take this car should be high.

Jiang Xia thought, maybe while he was packing his luggage, Conan and the others had already gotten into the car... Speaking of which, it's really hard to tell people who don't have murderous aura. The taste of murderousness varies from person to person, so everything is perfect...

   Jiang Xia spent a few seconds imagining the ideal world of a psychic.

  …

   The Big Dipper train will depart soon.

  It was already evening when the train started, and it didn't take long before it got completely dark.

   The food truck has already prepared meals at this time.

  Jiang Xia drove the ghost first, and floated around in each box from the ghost's perspective to grasp the general situation.

After   , I packed my luggage, left the box, and prepared to go to the dining car for dinner.

   Open the sliding door and enter the dining car.

   Just took a few steps inside. A surprised voice suddenly sounded diagonally ahead: "Jiang Xia?"

  ... is Maorilan's voice.

After    Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, he looked at the sound, and unsurprisingly saw Maori and his group sitting at the table.

   He nodded and said hello, walked over naturally, pulled out the empty chair and sat down—this happened to be a table for four.

  …

   Jiangxia rice is halfway through. Gin and vodka also came to the dining car.

   The two of them opened the sliding door and stepped into the carriage. After a quick glance, he saw Jiang Xia who was sitting with three other strangers.

   Seeing this harmonious scene of talking and laughing, a judgment flashed in Jinjiu's mind instinctively - Uzo stared at the three people at the same table with him.

   But after a closer look, I found that Ketaro Izumo was not among the three.

   Then he turned to think that at least one of these three people should be premeditating to kill Keitaro Izumo.

   The unlucky passers-by sitting with Uzo were a primary school student, a young girl, and a middle-aged man.

  Children want to kill an adult man like Ketaro Izumo, which is a little more difficult, as is a slender young girl.

   So the would-be murderer should be the middle-aged man with the mustache... No, not necessarily. In Wu Zuo's words, it is not impossible for a child to kill an adult by accident, not to mention Jinjiu remembers that Wu Zuo has a precedent for using children to achieve goals.

   There were already a few tables in the dining car, both at the front and rear of the car.

   The people who came in later sat down without being obtrusive.

  Gin didn't go too far to "pretend not to know each other", but sat down at the table adjacent to Jiang Xia - the one behind Kogoro Mauri.

   Here you can hear every word Uzo said. I can observe Uzo's current state very well, and by the way, listen to how he guides others to commit crimes.

  Gin was quite happy with the location. After sitting firmly, he reached out and picked up the menu on the table.

  …

  At the dining table for four, Jiang Xia sat opposite Maurilan and Mauri Kogoro, next to Conan.

  The location of gin and vodka is exactly where Jiangxia and Conan are facing, and behind Mauri Kogoro and Maurilan.

   As soon as the two sat down, Jiang Xia saw it.

   Or to be more precise, Jiang Xia had already discovered him through murderous intent as soon as Gin entered the dining car.

   Seeing that gin and vodka chose the adjacent table, Jiang Xia was a little puzzled.

  What are you doing sitting so close?

   He doesn't mind, that's how he scare Conan... Well, it's actually okay, Conan is bold, he definitely won't be a problem, maybe when stimulated, he can activate the death aura to a greater extent.

   Jiang Xia naturally looked at the two men in black while thinking, then withdrew his gaze and continued talking to Mao Lilan, acting as if he was no different than usual.

   On the other hand, after the vodka was swept by his gaze, he sat up straight a lot, looking tense and alert.

   It wasn't just the big man in black who was stiff.

  When Jiang Xia retracted his gaze, Yu Guang glanced to the side, and saw Kudo's classmate sitting next to him, who had froze to a stone at this time.

The fake child stayed for more than ten seconds before recovering a little bit. He grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip, as if he wanted to suppress the stormy waves in his heart in this way. Unusual pause after vodka.

  Jiang Xia also took a sip from his teacup, ignoring the two people with unqualified acting mentality next to him and the next table, and concentrated on chatting with Maorilan and Maori Kogoro.

  Don't worry about the abnormality of vodka - after all, this bottle of wine is a member of a mysterious organization that can't see the light. When he appears in public, his tension and vigilance are very normal, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Xia.

As for Conan... Conan is still a first-year elementary school student. Children of this age are easily attracted by various people or objects, ignore the movements of their hands, and fall into the sluggish state just now. Exceptions are not fatal.

  …

   Gin really didn't care about the dumb-looking kid with glasses next to Jiang Xia.

   After ordering, he sat in silence for a while.

   Then he was slightly surprised to find that the topic that was going on at the adjacent table was different from what he expected.

  Compared to the trappings in his imagination, Uzo seemed to be just chatting with the girl of the same age. Gin heard some topics such as exams and clubs, and their class seemed to have a new English teacher.

  ...It turned out to be Uzo's classmate.

  In this way, when Uzo sat at that table, he might not be calculating Yun Ketaro, but simply a chance encounter.

  ...think about it too. From the point of view of the ticket, Uzo should have already made preparations for what he should do, and the murderer and murder plan have long been in place.

   Therefore, if you rashly contact Keitaro Izumo, who is doomed to have an accident, or contact the murderer who is doomed to be exposed, it will easily increase the risk of exposure.

   On the other hand, hanging out with classmates and the children of classmates can reduce some suspicion... This is indeed more thoughtful and safe than contacting the murderer. Gin nodded secretly.
