Conan's Corpse Picker

Then at a glance, he saw the box he was watching, and Uzo he was watching.

——Putting the passing waiter to inquire about it, I learned that a person died suddenly in that box just now, and the deceased was the president of an internet company.

Rum: "..."

He glanced at the other people in the box.

In addition to the deceased, there were four people, three men and one woman, who participated in the company's "farewell party".

Among them, there are two people who have had contact with Wu Zuo just now.

——When ordering, the woman chatted with Uzo for quite a while.

Also, a man who seemed to be going to tell her to leave briefly confronted Uzo and showed something akin to flinching.

Rum focused on the two people, frowned slightly, and his mind was racing.

...Among the few rumors about Uzo in the organization, Uzo has always been good at seducing and killing people quietly, and can even bury deadly hints in just a short face-to-face contact—these The process is wonderfully described by vodka.

When he first heard these rumors, Rum only felt that this stupid big man was mixing water again.Or Uzo just happened to have an incident physique, so he often encountered cases.

But later, as Wu Zuo's mission files increased; and on the assassination list sent to Wu Zuo, people died precisely one after another...

Chapter 527 Uzo Trial Package

Rum is as suspicious as gin.

Therefore, after hearing Wu Zuo's weird rumors that were somewhat outrageous, he actually secretly investigated various cases related to "Jiang Xia".

But no matter which case, there is no trace of Jiang Xia's instigation or crime.Even in the vast majority of homicide files, Uzo will only appear on the edge of the case—he will be a witness who jumps out after the fact and quickly solves the case. Police and other detectives ignored.

This situation means two possibilities:

One is that Uzo is very lucky.That's why the mission targets assigned to him, without Wu Zuo doing anything, suddenly got involved in the case and died again and again before the assassination deadline.

The other is that behind these seemingly "sudden" accidents, there is an imperceptible black hand gently moving.

As for what the truth is...

As a mature organization leader who doesn't believe in tears, and even less in coincidences and luck, Rum feels that even if his brain is kicked by the FBI, he won't believe that the "assassinations" that take effect time after time are all coincidences.

... After ruling out a wrong option to send points, then the real answer is obvious.

——These homicides are by no means a simple "incident constitution".

It's a "coincidence" created by Uzo in some way.

As for Rum and his subordinates, why can't we find out Uzo's specific instigation methods... Of course, this is not because he and his confidantes are all trash, but it can only show that Uzo's way of inducing is something that is difficult for ordinary people to recognize and detect. effective means.

Maybe even if Uzo induces the murder in person, the people standing next to him will know nothing... Well, like Bourbon who often comes into contact with Uzo.

In short, although Uzo's method seemed incredible, after thinking about it, Rum felt that it could be explained: it must be some kind of unique talent.

However, even though he didn't understand why Curaçao could memorize an enormous amount of information in just a short moment, he could make Curacao and those materials all available to him——as a qualified leader, Rum It is not necessary to fully understand how geniuses work, just to know how to get the most out of them.

Rum's subordinates gathered all kinds of geniuses, so his acceptance of Uzo's "genius" was also very high.

...The only thing he didn't expect was that in this luxurious hotel full of people coming and going, Uzo would suddenly pick someone to attack, completely ignoring the other people around him and Bourbon who was close at hand.

President Wu Ye and the female employee were not included in the task list, so Wu Zuo was definitely not doing the task.

Is it really, as Vodka said, that this is purely some kind of wicked pastime?

... If it is the latter, this is indeed a bad habit that needs to be corrected.

Doing it casually means that it is easy to attract the attention of detectives and police, and the possibility of revealing your identity will increase accordingly.Plus, it does potentially get in the way of other group members who are nearby.

……

Having said that, Rum is not disgusted by what Uzo has done today.

...After all, in terms of results, the death of President Wu Ye was very much in his favor.

——Rum intends to poach someone from Wu Ye's subordinates.But the talent he fancy is actually quite loyal to Wu Ye, the confused president.

The technical talents who are forcibly kidnapped will be very difficult to use.So at first, Rum intended to try to resolve the issue as peacefully as possible.

Unexpectedly, after he tried to acquire this company, the talent he was looking for actually planned to leave with Wu Ye.

...So, in Rum's plan, the "accidental death" of President Wu Ye has already been put on the agenda, but the right opportunity and method have not yet been found.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zuo solved this problem by mistake.

After trying it out by accident, I really realized how easy it is to use Uzo.

I want to get people under my hands more and more...

Rum stroked his chin in satisfaction, and decided to pay more attention to this new member—to practice for a period of time before testing.If the loyalty is enough and there are no other problems, just look for an opportunity to get someone from Gin.It always feels like a waste to mix this kind of talent with gin.

In addition, although what happened tonight may really be just a sudden murder.

But treating "accident" as "manipulation", there is no other loss except to consume a little more brain cells; but if, on the other hand, "manipulation" is easily understood as "accident", it is possible that when he gets along with Uzo, A small part of the information that should have been lost was lost.

Only when you have a comprehensive understanding of a subordinate, will you not be backlashed when using a sharp blade.

In short, just to be on the safe side, first assume that it was Uzuo who did it, it must be true...

……

Outside the gate, sirens and ambulances were approaching soon.

Rum glanced over there, and quietly blended into the chaotic crowd, pretending that he was just a cook who came to watch.

Although this restaurant is on the outskirts of the city, it is still within the jurisdiction of the Megure Police Department.

Hearing the noisy noise, Jiang Xia stood up from the side of the deceased, turned to look at the door of the box, and saw two old acquaintances.

—— Police Department Megure and Officer Sato quickly walked into the box.

The two looked at Jiang Xia with mixed emotions: It seems that it has not been more than two hours since Jiang Xia left the police station after finishing the record of the car accident...

Toru Amuro also sighed secretly: Jiang Xia met more acquaintances when he went out. I really don't know whether it is Jiang Xia's good luck or his own bad luck.Fortunately, the policemen in front of them are relatively reliable, and they probably won't do anything like secretly communicate with the organization cadres, so it won't be so tiring to prevent them...

Jiang Xia looked at Miwako Sato, and then at Toru Amuro: Both of them graduated from the police academy, and the difference in years seems not so much. I don't know if Officer Sato will recognize the boss of this detective agency. A senior from the police academy... But since Toru Amuro dared to wander around Tokyo, there should be a way to hide it. This is a problem with the police, so he doesn't need to think about it.

……

The police quickly made a preliminary examination of the body.

——President Wu Ye's cause of death is quite clear. A large area of ​​allergic-like bruising appeared on his neck, and there was an obvious pinhole in the middle of the scar.

Carefully inspecting the bouquet that fell next to it, you can find a poisonous needle tied obliquely to the branch of one of the flowers - when President Wu Ye took over the bouquet of flowers, the needle stabbed him in the right way. neck.

It was the other four employees in the box who touched the bouquet of flowers before sending them.

——The bouquet of deadly flowers was a parting gift from their joint venture to Boss Wu Ye.

Therefore, these four people have naturally become suspects in the murder of the president.

Chapter 528 Curacao Comes

It was Junnosuke Toda, the person in charge of publicity, who handed the flowers to the deceased.

He was the last person to touch the bouquet, so he naturally became the most suspected and the first one to be questioned.

Toda apparently sees it differently.

"It's Kamijou! It must be him. His motives are much greater than mine!" Junnosuke Toda said with great confidence, "This person spends a lot of money because of his reputation, and often advances his salary-now the company is suddenly sold. Losing his job and being unable to pay any more money must have resentment in his heart."

So the next person to be approached for questioning was Kamijo Hiroo.

"This is slander - I used to be a freelancer, and the company closed down. At worst, I will return to the previous state, and I will earn more." Programmer Hiroo Kamijou pressed his temple, speaking slowly, as if Feeling down, not really want to talk.

Finding that the police were still asking questions, he provided some clues in a perfunctory manner: "I heard that many of the homicides were motivated by love... Among the four of us, there is Wu Ye's ex-girlfriend. , why not ask her."

……

President Wu Ye's ex-girlfriend happened to be the squint-eyed woman who talked to Jiang Xia for a while.

"I broke up with him a long time ago - when we were dating for a short time, he suddenly said that he fell in love with someone else." Narita Moyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Actually, he is a very good person, and I also love him." I can understand his decision. Although we don't have the predestined relationship to become lovers, we usually cooperate very well in the company. This is enough. I will never kill him...

"Speaking of it... Actually, I think Yue Yuan is the most suspicious. He often quarreled with the president, and always felt that the president suppressed his talent and took his credit."

……

"I'm suspicious? Bloody mouth!" Yue Yuanronglu wiped his sweat with his hand, "I have known Wu Ye since we were in college, and the quarrel is a sign of our good relationship!... If you want to say the murderer, the bunch of flowers you met at the end Isn’t it Toda? He always embezzles funds and enjoys extravagantly in the name of entertaining customers. Now that the company is sold, this kind of good life can’t continue, he must be the most anxious person!”

……

The pot was thrown in a full circle, and the four kicked out a perfect closed loop.

Miwako Sato stared at the circle-shaped relationship chart on the notebook, sighed, looked at Jiang Xia who seemed to be distracted, and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear anything?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xia came back to his senses, "This president has offended many people. It's really not easy to live till now..."

Officer Sato: "...?"

... That's not what she asked!

Miwako Sato sighed faintly, and did not continue to ask questions.

According to Jiang Xia's habit of solving crimes, if there are enough clues, he must have revealed the murderer by now.

Since the reasoning has not yet started, it means that there are not enough clues... They have sent police officers to ask the waiter here just now, hoping to bring useful clues.

……

Jiang Xia did not expose the truth immediately.

Like Toru Amuro's concerns, he was also curious about what Rum was here for today.

However, thinking that among the suspects this time, there is a programmer who sounds like a big guy, Jiang Xia always feels that he has a vague understanding of something.

——From ancient times to the present, organizations seem to be particularly fond of harming programmers.

Moreover, judging from Rum's reaction, after the murder, he paid a lot of attention to this case.More importantly, during this period, Rum didn't pay special attention to other things - it stands to reason that after the commotion in the restaurant, Rum should immediately pay attention to his mission goals.So intuition and experience told Jiang Xia that Rum was here for that programmer.

Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out—maybe Rum just came here to work and play on weekends, enjoying his addiction to being a chef.But now he was watching the box, not the programmer, but Uzo and Bourbon.After all, in the eyes of this intelligence chief, the two members of the organization must be more worthy of attention than ordinary passers-by...

In short, Jiang Xia realized that no matter what the situation is, solving the case in advance will not delay Rum's affairs, nor will it cause Rum to not send him tasks like the recent Gin, and hinder his organization. ghost……

Only this time, there seems to be no reasoning necessary.

Compared with the technique, what is complicated is the interpersonal relationship.because……
