Conan’s Corpse Picker

The seat where the waiter led Jiang Xia and Amuro Tohru happened to be by the window in the lobby.

The dishes were served quickly and tasted much better than the snacks in the car.

After Jiang Xia finished her meal and dessert, she lay down comfortably on her seat to eat. Apart from picking up ghosts, the biggest advantage of going on a business trip with Toru Amuro is that she doesn't have to worry about her boss being too simple. On the contrary, Bourbon always chooses the best food and accommodation, and is often very tasteful. Even those who are obsessed with it can take advantage of it.

I don’t know how Toru Amuro discovered this restaurant with outstanding taste. Maybe he worked here before? After all, Rum has come to work... Speaking of this, Jiang Xia is actually a little curious about the purpose of Rum coming to work in person. It can't really be for fun.

Just as he was thinking about it, a vague sound of clapping came from the box next to him.

——It’s like using this action before someone speaks to remind everyone to pay attention.

This hotel is generally soundproof... Across from Jiang Xia, this thought flashed through Toru Amuro's mind.

Seeing Jiang Xia turn her head to look at the box, he instinctively followed it with a glance, then quickly retracted his attention and continued to scoop up the dessert in front of him.

…

At the same time, in the box that was watched by two people.

At the luxurious round table, the president of Crano Network Club, Jiro Wuye stood up and cleared his throat:

"Today's farewell meeting was rather sudden. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work over the years. This is also the reason why our club is prosperous. I am sorry to sell the company at this time. Well, I am actually very sad. I’m reluctant to give up, but this is for everyone’s benefit, so don’t blame me, hahaha. In fact, with your ability, even if you go elsewhere, you can quickly find a suitable position.”

"..."

"..."

"..."

Several key members sitting around stared at him and fell into silence.

——The president never told them about such a big thing as selling the company. The news leaked out after the matter was settled. This farewell meeting was filled with resentment.

The woman who had just talked to Jiang Xia - the manager of Creno Network Club - looked around and saw the angry expressions of everyone glaring at the president. She smiled and tried to smooth things over: "He probably didn't mean not to tell us, he just didn't know how to say it. .Although the president is not good at explaining, he is actually a very good person."

The other two male employees at the table scoffed at the explanation.

Junnosuke Toda, the publicity manager closest to President Wuye, is relatively calm.

He stood up calmly, took out a large bouquet of flowers from beside his seat, and handed it to President Wuye:

"Although the separation came suddenly, my time in the company was indeed a wonderful experience - this bouquet of flowers is a little bit of our common thoughts. Please accept it."

President Wuye looked down at the half-person-high bouquet and the photo of the five of them placed among the flowers, feeling a little moved.

He hugged the bouquet and sighed: "We have encountered many twists and turns in these years. Thanks to you, the company can reach the scale it is today. What a pity...?"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his neck, and soon after, his breathing became unsmooth, his chest suddenly became stuffy, and his smile froze on his face.

Two seconds later, the president's lips trembled, he closed his eyes, fell to the ground, and gradually stopped moving.

"...?"

Several employees approached him suspiciously and anxiously, and checked his breath. Then their faces turned pale. Half a second later...

"ah--!!!"

…

Across the wall, Toru Amuro, who had just finished his meal and was wiping his mouth gracefully with a napkin: "...?"

Jiang Xia was startled when she heard the shouting. Then like a serious detective, he stood up anxiously.

He was about to rush towards the source of the shout, but at this moment, Toru Amuro suddenly walked around in front of him and blocked the way.

At the same time, Toru Amuro turned around and whispered to him: "Be more restrained this time."

Jiang Xia: "!"

He was slightly shocked. These words seemed to be what Gin always said to "Uzo" - let Uzo kill innocent citizens on the road so as not to attract unnecessary attention...

At this time, this sentence suddenly appeared in Amuro Toru's mouth. Jiang Xia's first reaction was that he had unknowingly lost his horse and his boss was so frightened; his second reaction was that he suspected that Gin had secretly possessed the boss for unknown reasons...

But soon, he realized rationally that the "restraint" mentioned by Toru Amuro should not refer to the shark people, but to solving the case - to prevent him from quickly finding the murderer like most of the time in the past.

Jiang Xia thought of Rum, whom she met by chance just now, and vaguely understood.

But he still had doubts on his face, and then nodded reluctantly.

Seeing this, Toru Amuro made way to the box.

Although according to the current speed at which Jiang Xia became famous, it was only a matter of time before the top management of the organization noticed him. But if possible, it is best to try to extend this time as long as possible.

And this kind of reminder to "be more restrained" will not reveal his own position as an undercover agent - if Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo, then this sentence can be interpreted as asking Jiang Xia not to steal Rum's limelight, lest Rum has other plans. , but they interrupted the plan later.

Blocked by Toru Amuro, the two of them headed to the door of the box a little slower than before.

At this time, there was already a small group of people watching.

Jiang Xia persuaded the onlookers to leave, and then slowly began the routine process of a detective encountering a murder case - checking the situation, calling the police for an ambulance, and clearing the scene.

…

Restaurant chef.

Rum heard the commotion and came out to investigate.

Then at a glance he saw the box he was paying attention to, and Uzo who he was paying attention to.

——I grabbed the passing waiter and asked about it, and I learned that someone suddenly died in that box just now. 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 a total of four people, three men and one woman, participating in the "farewell party" of this company.

Among them, there are two people who had contact with Uzo just now.

——While ordering, the woman chatted with Uzo for a long time.

In addition, a man seemed to briefly encounter Uzo when he went to ask her to leave, and vaguely expressed an emotion similar to cowering.

Rum focused on the two people, frowned slightly, and his thoughts were racing in his mind.

... Among the few rumors about Uzo in the organization, Uzo has always been good at seducing and killing people quietly, and can even plant fatal hints in people in just one face-to-face contact - these The process is described uncannily by Vodka.

When he first heard these rumors, Rum just thought it was the stupid big guy mixing things up again. Or maybe Uzo just happens to have an incident constitution, so he often encounters cases.

But later, as Uzo's mission files increased; and on the assassination list issued to Uzo, people died accurately one after another...
