Conan's Corpse Picker

Following the prestige, I saw that it was Eiko Toya.She immediately turned to look at the driver.

The driver also simultaneously took out a bouquet of flowers prepared in advance from the car and handed them to Sonoko Suzuki.

"Miss Toya!"

Suzuki Sonoko didn't call Auntie to her face.

She waved at Eiko Toya, went up to greet her, and handed flowers to the top designer who was hurriedly approaching, at the same time proudly raised her small chin: "Long time no see, I brought you a suitable model—"

As he spoke, Suzuki Sonoko happily raised his hand backwards, gesturing to Mao Lilan and Jiang Xia whom he had abducted.

I originally thought that Eiko Toya would be surprised and happy, and praised her, "You have a good eye!", and then started to change clothes and take photos of the models frantically, and give her a refined photobook in the future...

However, it does not.

……

Eiko Toya was obviously much calmer than Sonoko Suzuki imagined, and even her eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and after recognizing the detective, the corners of her eyes seemed to twitch slightly.

Suzuki Sonoko was taken aback: "...what's wrong?"

"...Huh? Nothing. Just a pleasant surprise."

Chairman Toya took the bouquet from her hand, quickly recovered his elegant appearance, and said with a kind smile, "Come in first. I'm so sorry——I was in the coffee shop just now, and I forgot to check the time, so I was almost late."

With that said, she walked quickly into the building.

Seeing this, several high school students also followed.

Okiya Subaru hesitated for a moment. He looked up at the municipal building diagonally behind him, and then glanced at the mobile phone that had no news. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to follow.

at the same time.

In a building nearly a hundred meters away, behind the reflective floor-to-ceiling windows.

A pair of purple-gray eyes stared quietly at Okiya Subaru's back, with a trace of inquiry in his dignified gaze.

……

The door of the house building.

Jiang Xia and the others followed Toya Eiko and walked towards the hall.

Eiko Toya seemed to be distracted, not paying attention to the guests behind her, and strode ahead alone.

Conan looked at the exquisitely designed building in front of him, then glanced at the empty hall, and muttered, "It's so deserted."

"Because today is a regular holiday." Mao Lilan remembered something and said in a low voice:

"In addition, a while ago, the clothing show of Huya Design Company was suddenly suspended. I heard that it was because their finale had a large number of details overlapping with the works displayed by their competitors. The company received a lot of criticism because of this incident. Crackdown, dismissed some employees, and some employees resigned voluntarily..."

While speaking, they had already arrived in the hall.

Without the buffer of street noise, conversations are much clearer than before.

A few gossip-loving young people stopped discussing the bleak scene of Toya Company and quietly entered the hall.

……

It's really deserted here.

In the huge hall, apart from their group, there were only two elderly security guards.

However, after they entered the door, another person walked in.

——It was a fashionable woman, obviously also an employee here, and she looked very young.

She walked into the hall familiarly, looked up and glanced around, nodded and greeted the chairman with a perfunctory tone: "Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Chairman Toya also nodded to her, and then gave a brief introduction to the two parties, "This is Mika Taniguchi, my secretary."

Then he gestured to Mika Taniguchi to the group of people behind him: "This is Ms. Sonoko and her friends, and they are also our models today."

Mika Taniguchi glanced at it without interest, and responded through her nasal cavity, obviously a little disdainful of this behavior of "looking for a layman to act as a model".

Chairman Toya was also a little embarrassed when he saw her lack of interest, and cleared his throat: "I'm so sorry that I asked you to come to help me on a regular holiday."

"Nothing." Mika Taniguchi waved her hand indifferently:

"However, if you really feel sorry, let me go through the resignation procedures earlier. Your personnel efficiency is too low-I really can't stay in a company that allows employees to come to work overtime on their rest days."

Chapter 1038 He Lights a Cigarette and Talks About the Past

"..."

The air was quiet for a moment.

In front of a group of guests, Chairman Toya was even more embarrassed.

She shook her head, changed the subject, stopped talking to Mika Taniguchi, and turned to Sonoko Suzuki: "I'll go to the office to put down the flowers first, and take down the corresponding contract documents—please wait over there."

She raised her hand to signal the hall—to the south there was a carpeted seating area with a simple bar.

Suzuki Sonoko nodded, expressing his understanding, the work area generally does not allow guests to enter: "Okay."

Chairman Toya looked at Mika Taniguchi again: "You go to the clothing accessories room on the 8th floor to prepare. Today I will take pictures of those college-style clothes. The guests have something to do in the evening, so hurry up."

Mika Taniguchi snorted as a response.

The two walked to the elevator door and waited silently for the elevator.

Okiya Subaru looked at their backs silently, and couldn't help but think of the gaze of "Uzo" from behind the building next door just now.He raised his hand and pushed his glasses, always feeling that something would happen today.

……

Subaru Okiya slowed down a few steps because he was thinking about something.

As a result, I just heard the muttering of two security guards, and they seemed to be talking about Mika Taniguchi.

The young one was full of complaints: "Who would steal a plan and sell it to a rival company just because she doesn't want to work overtime! She even asked the captain to help her erase the monitoring, and now a large number of people have left... I don't want to lose my job. If this continues, the company will not go bankrupt."

"How can it be, such a big company." The older one is quite buddhist, "If it really goes bankrupt, it will be a big deal to get compensation and find another job."

The young security guard shook his head: "It's not that easy to change jobs..."

The elder hugged the thermos cup and comforted him with a smile:

"Don't think about things too complicated. If you don't do it, how do you know you can't do it?

"To be honest, my former presidents were unfortunately killed, and now I have changed jobs several times. Look, I am still alive and well?

"Actually, at the beginning, after I came here, I found that the president of Toya always made people work overtime. I thought this time it wouldn't last long. I didn't expect the employees here to have a good temper. They just steal the plan and sell it to the opponent... ..."

Okiya Subaru couldn't help but glanced at them: "..."

He thought that his life experience was rich enough, but he didn't expect that compared with a real social person, he was actually far behind... Wait, why is it always the president who dies?Could it be that in the shadows of society, there are actually many people similar to Wu Zuo, and even Wu Zuo's assassination skills are actually some kind of family-passed occupation, or a type of work organized for special training?

"..." Hiss, it seems that by accident, something incredible came to mind.

Okiya Subaru couldn't help but froze for a moment.Then he quickly returned to normal. He walked a few steps quickly and caught up with several other people.

……

Jiang Xia and a few classmates came to the rest area.I saw a drink cabinet here.

He walked to the side to study for a while, took out the paper cup, and took a glass of Coke.

Looking back while drinking, I saw Mao Lilan looking at the elevator from a distance, seeming a little puzzled:

"They all go upstairs, why don't they take the same elevator?"

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko turned his head and glanced at the elevator.

There are three iron doors on the wall over there, which are three elevators.

At this time, President Toya and Mika Taniguchi entered one each, and the elevator went up.

"That. Those elevators work differently."

Suzuki Sonoko also came to Jiang Xia's side, chugging on the Coke, while casually explaining science to his friend:

“我记得有一架是1-8楼停靠的客户用电梯，一架是直达15楼的社长专用电梯，还有一架是直达8楼，从8楼开始每层正常停靠的电梯——因为8楼以上是员工区域，客户只能进入下面的1-8层。”

"..." Jiang Xia looked over there, vaguely remembering something.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, a figure walked up to him.

"?" Jiang Xia turned her head and saw her new subordinate.

Okiya Subaru seemed hesitant to speak, and was speaking.

Looking at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia assumed the attitude that a high school detective should have, and asked, "What's wrong?"

……

Okiya Subaru wanted to quietly find out why Jiang Xia appeared here today.

Although curiosity killed the cat, he was really curious about whether Uzo's black hands were secretly moving in today's experience.

After hesitating for a moment, Okiya Subaru chatted and said, "I just heard from the chairman that you are today's models—is this also your part-time job?"

Jiang Xia: "..." Did this person just follow in without even understanding the situation? ...Speaking of which, why did Okiya Subaru get together with them so naturally?

Although I don't mind having an extra member of the organization next to me, but thinking about it, I always feel that something is not right...

Jiang Xia sized Okiya Subaru for a moment, then thought about it and explained: "It's not considered a part-time job, but I just came here to help temporarily."

"Is that so..."

Okiya Subaru pushed his glasses back, and the lenses clicked and reflected light.Although he looked like a calm scholar, Jiang Xia always suspected that he was doing reading comprehension in his mind.

While thinking and talking, the progress of the conversation was very slow.

Before Okiya Subaru could successfully extract any information, there was a sudden "ding--" from the elevator.

Someone is coming down.

……

A few people startled, stopped talking and looked over.

The door of the "direct access to the 15th floor" elevator opened with a clatter, and Chairman Toya ran out quickly.

She ignored the guests sitting in the rest area, and ran straight to the security guard: "Has Taniguchi left?"

"Ah?" The security guards were taken aback and shook their heads, "No, no one entered or exited the hall just now."
