Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 374 Summary of Gin (Complete Chapter)

After focusing his attention on Jiang Xia for a moment, Bellmode suddenly had an idea:

In order to understand Usa's psychological state, Gin had sent her a lot of information... Speaking of this, before she came to Japan, Gin had clearly been urging her every now and then to ask her when she would arrive. , so as to intervene in Uzo's increasingly dangerous mental state as soon as possible. Why is it that now that she has really returned to Japan and can accept Uzo, Gin never mentions it again? She also wants to see more about Uzo's condition. Although no obvious abnormalities have been found so far, but...

Wait, no, that doesn't seem to be the point now.

Belmod pressed the center of his eyebrows to get his thoughts that had wandered off halfway back to the topic.

...In short, the exclusive information Gin passed to her gave her a deeper understanding of Uzo's "murder" methods than ordinary people.

She knew that Uzo was very good at using the target and those related to the target, combined with the surrounding environment, to quietly lead a murder that at first glance seemed very natural.

Judging from mission records, sometimes Uzo's guidance process takes a long time - some victims suddenly kill or are killed weeks or even a month after coming into contact with him.

But other times, the cycle is very short: the target just met Uzo almost an hour ago, and the murder will start immediately after an hour.

Such a short period of time seems incredible at first glance, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense: in Belmod's impression, in quite a few cases, the perpetrators who have accumulated a lot of resentment actually suddenly and impulsively kill people.

Most prisoners have a desire to survive and want to avoid punishment after killing someone.

If at this time, they suddenly have a flash of inspiration due to the actions or conversations of "someone" nearby, discover some items that can be used, and then plan a plot to kill, then this short guidance period is entirely possible.

...As for how Uzo hinted and how he made those people "eureka", this should be his secret and talent.

——There is no shortage of all kinds of geniuses in the world, and Uzo must be one of them, but the direction of genius is a little less legal... Well, in short, if everyone can understand the principles and the process , Uzo would not be so appreciated by insiders in the organization. So she can't see through the mystery of guidance, which is actually normal.

To this day, Belmode still thinks that Uzo's killing method is very strange.

In fact, if the organization had not arranged several targeted killing targets or tasks, and Uzuo had completed them one by one on time, just looking at the case reported by the outside world, she would have never imagined that Uzuo had tampered with it, and she would only feel that The organization was too lucky, or the deceased was too unlucky.

At this time, in the Gomera studio where someone had just died.

Belmod recalled all the details about Uzo, and combined with today's events, she suddenly realized that maybe now, she had personally experienced Uzo's killing method, and accidentally stepped into the layout he weaved.

——If you think about it, you can find that when Bourbon broke into the studio with a takeout bag and then left with her threatening each other, Uzo did not catch up immediately, but after a long period of time, he Appear leisurely.

During this time, Uzzo had full access to other people in the studio and quietly exerted influence on those people. And then take advantage of the situation here to create some situations that he likes to see.

Uzo came downstairs to look for them just now. Rather than for a reason such as a fight, it was actually more likely to stop her at the right time and ensure that she could not appear in the staff's sight before the murder occurred. In that case, even if she was with Uzo when Producer Kamei died, she would not be able to obtain an "alibi" from Uzo.

Thinking of this, Belmod couldn't help but glance solemnly at Jiang Xia next to the policeman.

It happened that Jiang Xia was also looking at her.

The two sides looked at each other, Jiang Xia subconsciously raised the corners of her lips and nodded towards her, looking quite happy.

Belmod didn't know if this was her illusion. In short, for a moment, she felt a pinprick-like sense of crisis - when Uzo looked at her, he looked at her with the eyes of a prey. It was as if in his eyes, Belmod was not a member of the organization who was equal to or even superior to him at all, but a delicious meal.

Belmod's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly adjusted his mentality.

...You can't be careless just because Uzo's appearance doesn't look threatening.

After all, if you think about it rationally, this is a member who successfully obtained the organization code name not long after he entered the field of vision of the organization cadres, and now, he is not even an adult yet.

——Belmod pursed his lips, trying his best to suppress the instinctive closeness and relaxation every time he saw Uzo, and carefully tried to figure out Uzo's motive for committing a murder at such a time.

...Is it because of interest, as Gin said?

Or do you not want to see Bourbon conflict with her and are you trying to divert attention?

Let’s put aside speculations like interest that are full of subjectivity and chance.

As for diverting attention, this seems to have little effect: Uzzo should not know whether she and Bourbon are related or know each other, so it is difficult to determine what actions the two will take after leaving the studio together. If she and Bourbon were determined to take action, when the murder happened on the top floor, there would be another murder downstairs at about the same time, and there would be no time to interfere...

Perhaps the issue of tension can be ruled out for the time being.

So, there is one possibility left...

Among everyone present, it was obvious that she, the disguised "Toru Amuro," had the least ability to withstand scrutiny of her identity and the least wanted to deal with the police.

...Could it be that Uzo wanted to take advantage of the chaos to send her in?

Of course she didn't kill the producer who deserved a beating, but as long as the "evidence" and reasoning seemed real enough, she would probably be asked to go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation - the record as a witness was relatively easy to escape, and she was treated as a suspect If someone takes it back, it will be troublesome.

If ordinary organization members encountered this situation, they might have appeared on the silence list received by Gin... Uzo had just joined the organization not long ago, and he rarely had contact with organization cadres. Even if he knew "Belmod" "She will be treated specially by the boss, and she probably lacks a correct understanding and grasp of the actual situation... Is Uzo trying to kill her with a borrowed knife to get rid of her?"

Belmode frowned slightly, feeling very complicated.

On the one hand, she was instinctively angry at this intention that threatened her, and she instinctively wanted to fight back.

But then think about Uzo’s possible reasons for doing this…

Last time, she got Uzuo drunk and took her to her bed. Uzuo simply retaliated by "forcibly pushing the inconvenient pot to her side."

But this time, his attack was obviously much more ruthless than before.

In Bermod's view, this must be because when she first met Uzo, she repeatedly asked about Kudo Shinichi under the guise of "finding a loophole in Gin's job." That time she was able to use Gin as a shield, but these two times she came into contact with Uzo in disguise, she happened to meet the Young Detective Team at the same time.

Therefore, in Usa's eyes, she must now be an organizational cadre with ulterior motives who comes to the Young Detective Team... The Young Detective Team, of course, also includes the shrunken Kudo Shinichi.

For a moment, Belmode felt like an undercover agent being chased by his real teammates. While running away in embarrassment and furious, he had to applaud the opponent in his heart and praised Uzo's handling method as reasonable and even perfect for her. expectations.

Next to him, Jiang Xia finished answering Officer Sato's questions.

He was about to take a look at the paint footprints left by Gomera, check in near the evidence point, and then pull up the progress bar of the case based on the situation.

But when he turned around, he happened to look into the eyes of Bermod, who was disguised as Toru Amuro, and saw the extremely complex look in Bermod's eyes that was mixed with anger, relief, entanglement, helplessness, etc.

Jiang Xia: "?"

After a brief pause, before he could make a thorough analysis and understanding of Belmod's eyes, "Toru Amuro" suddenly looked away and stopped looking at him. Instead, he was looking at the studio by himself, his eyes falling on it from time to time. At the entrance to the corridor, prop models, etc., the eyes are focused, as if thinking.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

When he went upstairs just now, didn't Belmod still have a provocative smile after a successful prank? Why did he become so serious in the blink of an eye?

I really want to crack open the brains of the monsters and see what is inside...

Jiang Xia shook his head, stopped his dangerous thoughts, and walked to the corpse as originally planned. He planned to look at all the more important evidence and collect materials that could be used to solve the case.

But this time, he decided to slow down the speed of solving the case and see what Belmode was planning first.

Belmod's goal is very clear.

She first looked at the exits in all directions and confirmed the worst-case escape plan, which included climbing along the chassis and bumps on the outside of the floor to leave.

As for the method of escaping by "disguising herself as a passerby while others are unprepared", Belmode didn't think much about it - since Uzo had already made a response, there was no way she could escape so easily.

After feeling confident, Belmode shifted his focus to a more peaceful solution.

——Find the real culprit.

In her impression, in order not to arouse suspicion, Uzo would always start reasoning after actually looking at all the evidence.

Compared with other detectives, this period of verification time is by no means long, but it is still a rare free time after all.

As long as during this period of time, enough evidence is produced to prove "Toru Amuro"'s innocence, her identity can be changed from a suspect to a detective, and she can make an appointment "definitely next time" when she is invited to the police station, and then Take advantage of the trend and leave everything else to Bourbon.

Thinking this, Belmod's eyes quickly fell in the direction of the warehouse.

Gomera star Hidehao Matsui, who was allegedly stabbed in the leg by a gangster, was still sitting there and only received a simple bandage.

Bellmode knew clearly: in terms of speed in solving the case, she was certainly not as good as Uzo, who wrote the script and created the real murderer.

But fortunately, she also has her own way.

——In fact, when he learned that Producer Kamei was assassinated, Belmode already had a rough candidate in mind.

She has worked here several times and knows the current situation of the crew better than the police:

The murdered producer Kamei actually offended many people. Among them, he was particularly harsh on Hidehao Matsui. In order to persuade the crew to stop filming, producer Kamei made up a rumor behind the back of the starring Hidehao Matsui.

He said that Matsui Hidehao had come to him privately many times, saying that starring in monster movies made him physically and mentally exhausted, and that he just wanted to be an ordinary actor. Others considered it difficult to refuse after having been colleagues for so many years. In the end, many factors combined to create the current scene of "The Last Gomera".

In this way, Matsui Hidehao became the traitor of the crew without knowing it.

A while ago, he learned the truth behind it, so he hurriedly went to the producer Kamei and asked him to help clarify it. But by that time, "The Last Battle of Gomera" had already been hyped up, and there was no time to change it.

——When Bermod came here to work disguised as Toru Amuro, he happened to overhear the conversation between Hidehao Matsui and producer Kamei, and also discovered that Hidehao Matsui had become more and more silent recently.

Now that producer Kamei was suddenly killed, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Hidehao Matsui was a very suitable material for Usa to play.

Once you have doubts in your heart, many doubts will emerge.

——For example, Matsui Hidehao said that he was stabbed with a knife by "someone wearing a Gomera monster suit."

If I remember correctly, his wound was on his thigh.

But Gomera is taller than an adult man, and his upper limbs are relatively thick and short. If someone wearing a "Gomera" monster suit really attacked Matsui, the wound should not be so low down.

Assuming that Matsui is directing and acting, combined with the topography of this floor and the four children who are witnesses...

Belmode gradually had an idea in his mind, but he still lacked some details.

Jiang Xia looked at Bermod, who had transformed into Toru Amuro, wondering what she wanted to do.

At this time, the police officer responsible for questioning the genuine Amuro Tohru came towards Jiangxia and wanted to confirm the alibi of Mr. "Aki Amuro" with him.

Jiang Xia was about to repeat part of what he had just said to Officer Sato to the police officer in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Bellmode reacted quite a lot to "Jiang Xia planned to talk to the police" - she immediately stopped thinking, turned around and walked this way.

Under Jiang Xia's slightly confused gaze, Belmod felt a little guilty, but spoke with confidence on his face.

She raised her hand and patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder, and said in Toru Amuro's voice: "It seems that you don't need to appear this time - I already know the real murderer."

The police officer next to him hadn't reacted yet, but more than ten meters away, the Mumu Police Department's ears twitched, he looked over, and said in surprise: "Really?"

Jiang Xia silently glanced at the distance between the Mumu Police Department and Belmod, then listened to the noise around him, thinking that the Police Department's hearing was really good.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he is very sensitive to certain keywords...
