Conan’s Corpse Picker

It wasn't until he walked out of that road and came to the bright entrance of the building that Maya Hashimoto suddenly remembered the specific tasks assigned by Uzo.

——I must observe the environment like that insidious and cunning boss, look for the murderous intention hidden in it, and then think about how to kill Jiang Xia logically.

For a moment, Maya Hashimoto fell into deep thought: "Murder intention? Let the drunk upstairs fall and kill him, or pray that Jiang Xia slipped and fell when he went upstairs?

"Of course, the easiest and easiest way is to start with food - if Jiang Xia is severely allergic to alcohol and drinks a bottle of beer out of curiosity, the task can be completed directly.

"But for a law-abiding detective in Jiangxia, it's even harder to trick him into drinking. This plan can only be implemented in two years at the earliest... Alas, in comparison, the task of buying land is still easier to do. If this is the case in the future. It would be nice to do this kind of task, but it’s a pity that Uzo can’t fulfill my small request.

"Speaking of which, how about I just suck it up for a year and be eliminated when the time limit is up? Then I will still have a happy time for at least another year. But working under Uzo, I may not be able to survive that long."

That's what he said, but soon Maya Hashimoto became alert: The time limit was set by Usa. Yesterday he said it was one year, but tomorrow it might become one day because he was dissatisfied with his paddling.

Unlike all other bosses, in front of Wu Zuo, you must not take advantage of any loopholes that shouldn't be taken - most likely, what you will face after you get through is not a straight road, but a scary, curly-haired boss with a smile.

"Mr. Hashimoto."

Suddenly a voice sounded next to him.

Maya Hashimoto came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Xia, and saw the detective inviting him: "You're all here, let's go up and sit together, as a thank you for buying us wine."

Maya Hashimoto wanted to refuse, but when she turned around, she found that she had been distracted and followed them to the apartment lobby, and they were at the stairs.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Maybe this is fate.

Thinking of Uzo's mission, Maya Hashimoto simply said: "Haha, okay, I'll trouble you. I also want to make more Japanese friends."

As they walked upstairs, Conan fell behind, and the suspicion in his eyes was so strong that it was about to flow out - who in the right mind would follow a friend to his home after meeting him by chance.

Even with the identity of "foreigner" as a cover, Maya Hashimoto's Japanese seemed to be getting better and better. Conan seriously suspected that this guy originally lived in Tokyo and was just using a face with obvious mixed-race features to deceive.

...This person is too suspicious.

And he actually seemed to be coming for Jiang Xia.

Conan was alert, but also couldn't help but wonder, and thought to himself: "But his attitude is very strange. He doesn't look like the kind of guy who is setting up conspiracies, and he doesn't have much of a criminal aura...but more like he can't help himself?"

I can't help myself...

Conan suddenly thought of some actors who were forced to take on bad dramas.

A figure in black thought in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the woman in black who appeared at the Maori Detective Agency in the middle of the night and handed him his passport.

I don't know if he is overthinking it, but he always feels that Maya Hashimoto's temperament at this time is somewhat similar to that graduate student who has not been seen for a long time - Subaru Okiya.

…

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw Jiang Xia and the others going out and bringing back a stranger.

He stared at his drunken eyes and glanced at Maya Hashimoto. He found that there were no signs of being beaten with a stick on his body, so he suddenly came to the conclusion in his heart: This guy is not like the guy who made a banging noise in the middle of the night as Omura Jun said. The source is probably an acquaintance of that boy from Jiang Xia.

Maori Kogoro suddenly lost interest in this stranger. He took the beer from Maori Lan and continued to drink happily with his old classmates.

Jiang Xia sat next to him and looked at the beers neatly arranged on the table. He grabbed a can and played with it - he had just had a few drinks last night, and he wasn't too strong on wine at the moment. Obsession, it's just that this jar is cool and comfortable to hold, and it goes well with the iced black tea that is steaming next to it.

…

Maya Hashimoto didn't want to kill anyone at this moment.

Ever since he met Uzo and heard some rumors about Uzo, he has been consciously restraining his murderous intention and trying to become a flawless legal citizen to deal with Uzo's minions. 1 - Police everywhere.

...After all, for a qualified member of the organization, being treated as a murderer by the police is a more fatal problem than being killed by ordinary people.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." When it comes to this, I have to say, fortunately, Jiang Xia is there! ——As long as he can bear not to kill anyone, Jiang Xia can help him clear himself of the crime of murder and bring him back from the brink of being silenced.

Thinking of this, the murderous aura that he had finally suppressed suddenly shrank back.

Jiang Xia, who was sitting aside and staring intently: "..."

Zheng was very dissatisfied with the speed of Hashimoto Maya's murderous intent, and was thinking about how to motivate this lazy brother.

At this moment, there was a crisp "click" sound nearby, as if a piece of glass had broken.

Jiang Xia listened and looked up at the utility room on the side: "It seems to be the sound coming from over there."

Jun Omura's hand holding the beer can stiffened, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He got up and went to the small house. When he opened the door, he saw a big hole in his window. Glass shards splashed in from the outside, as if they were smashed open by something heavy, but strangely, there were no stones or anything like that falling on the ground.

Jiang Xia also walked over.

He stood at the door and just took a look inside. Before entering the house to take a closer look, a shout suddenly came from the street outside.

"Ikuta?" someone shouted, "What are you doing lying here? Wake up!"

When Maya Hashimoto heard the sound coming from, her heart suddenly thumped.

He quickly walked to the balcony, looked out, and saw two figures in the darkest part of the streetlight.

One of them was lying on the ground, whether he was drunk or suddenly ill. The other person was squatting next to him, as if he was checking his condition in the dark.

It was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

But at this moment, a car happened to drive by. The car noticed something unusual and slowed down.

The bright car lights shine on the street, illuminating the scene below.

Downstairs, the man lying on the ground had his eyes wide open, his head was vaguely deformed, and a large amount of blood spilled from his facial features - he was not drunk, nor did he die suddenly, but he seemed to have been hit by a heavy object on the side of his head and was crushed to death in the street. .

The place where he fell to the ground happened to be the place where Maya Hashimoto passed by yesterday and stayed briefly.

What was playing in front of him was like another development in parallel time and space, a follow-up to Maya Hashimoto who would rather die than surrender to Uzo. For a moment, Maya Hashimoto seemed to be shocked to see the corpse lying downstairs. Became himself.
