Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 1056: 1056 [Subaru Utsuya vs Toru Amuro]

 Chapter 1056 1056【Okiya Subaru vs Amuro Toru】

Okiya Subaru looked at Uemori Yoshitomo who had difficulty breathing, and silently lit a candle for the bad-tempered teacher.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart - he felt that he had been cautious enough today and should not have a huge interference with Uzo's script, such as "changing the weapon" and "changing the killing method".

Since the murderer chose the method of "stabbing the lungs", unless he applied poison to the needle, there was a certain chance that the rescue would be successful. This means that in Uzo's plan, the life and death of Mr. Kamimori is not that important.

—In short, to sum up the above, Subaru Okiya thought firmly: This has nothing to do with him, he must not have interfered with Uzo's script!

Okiya Subaru: "..." Speaking of which, since Uzo didn't kill Mr. Mori, he must have other goals.

what is it…

 …

 Okiya Subaru didn't have time to think of more. There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor.

 Several people in the cooking classroom heard the noise and looked towards the door quickly. I saw a group of medical staff carrying a stretcher and several police officers rushing in at the same time.

Okiya Subaru was startled.

 The first responders came, which was understandable—there was a big hospital nearby, and it was normal for the ambulance to arrive quickly.

But...why did the police come so quickly? Even the nearest police station is two to three kilometers away.

 …

 Perhaps his doubts are a little obvious. The old policeman glanced at Okiya Subaru and explained good-naturedly: "There was a murder downstairs just now. We have been here for a long time."

After a pause, he sighed and shook his head helplessly: "This place is really bad at feng shui. In just one day, there have been four accidents. Counting your teacher, three people died."

Okiya Subaru: “…” It’s nothing to do with Feng Shui, it’s just that I happened to encounter Uzo here.

Mao Lilan corrected in a low voice: "Well, Teacher Shangmori is actually not dead yet."

“Ah, yes, I forgot.” The old policeman rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, “It makes sense.”

   …”

 …

I don’t know if it’s the old policeman’s fault, or whether it’s Teacher Uemori’s luck that’s just not good enough.

 Not long after, news came from the hospital.

—Rescue efforts failed and she was gone.

This attack in the dark officially turned into a murder case.

 Not long after, the elevator arrived at this floor.

Jiang Xia and the others rushed to the scene together with the policemen downstairs.

 …

The floor that was dark just now has now become bright again.

The policeman who went upstairs in advance came up to him with a camera in his hand and reported the situation to Miwako Sato:

“The cause of the power outage was that someone used a timer device to turn off the switch.”

 He showed the photos to Jiang Xia and Sato Miwako. The above is the simplest ice cube device - hang a heavy object on the switch and place the heavy object on top of a regular ice cube. When the ice cubes slowly melt to a certain extent, the electricity on the entire floor can be turned off, plunging the place into darkness.

After reading the photo, Jiang Xia nodded and walked around the electric switch.

 Then we quickly came to the cooking class. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes lit up slightly.

There were several clouds of misty murderous aura falling on the ground, and they were all ready to be picked up. It seemed that the murderer was not the only one who wanted to kill Mr. Mori. Others had just heard the news of her death on the phone, and they all fell to the ground with no place to put their murderous aura.

 The ghosts happily rushed in and dragged back the murderous aura scattered everywhere.

Jiang Xia counted her harvests and put them all away happily.

As soon as he turned around, he saw two people looking at each other meaningfully in the classroom.

Toru Amuro didn’t go to the electric switch just now, but went straight to the classroom.

 At this time, he was observing Subaru Okiya at close range, and the look in his expression was unconcealed.

Okiya Subaru also looked at him with slight vigilance - perhaps some amazing intuition had an effect. Okiya Subaru always felt that the blond and dark-skinned guy in front of him was a bit dangerous, and even gave him a vague feeling of Uzo. .

 …

Jiang Xia looked around and felt that this scene was very good - Toru Amuro had a little murderous aura smelling of coffee. Although it was not much, it was still a gain. It's a pity that right now, the one in the classroom is only the genuine Okiya Subaru. If it were replaced by the Akai Shuichi version...

 He thought about it expectantly for a while.

 Then decide to actively promote this outcome.

“This is Mr. Okiya I just mentioned, an engineering graduate student at Toto University.”

Jiang Xia gestured to Subaru Okiya towards Toru Amuro, then looked at Subaru Okiya, and pointed to Toru Amuro: "This is the boss of the detective agency where I work."

“I have long admired my name.” Toru Amuro took the initiative to extend his hand to Subaru Okiya and introduced him politely, “My name is Toru Amuro.”

 The two men, who had their own hidden agendas, shook hands and soon started chatting without anything to say.

Jiang Xia pretended to observe the scene and stood by as if nothing had happened and eavesdropped.

 After listening for a while, he found that the two people were just chatting about work, life, reasons for coming here and other topics, without any more murderous intent brewing, and he suddenly became bored.

Jiang Xia randomly threw a ghost at Toru Amuro, asking the ghost to remember to collect the little murderous aura in Toru Amuro.

He himself went to wander around, preparing to collect clues and check in to solve the case, so as not to waste time in this classroom that no longer had murderous intent.

 …

Behind Jiang Xia, two adult men who seemed to be chatting harmoniously were not as calm as they looked.

Okiya Subaru thought of what Jiang Xia had said when he introduced him. It took him a while to remember that the office Jiang Xia worked for was actually not called "Exia Detective Agency", but "Amuro Detective Agency".

Okiya Subaru: "..." It seems that the foreigner opposite... must be a foreigner, the "hidden" boss Amuro in the physical sense.

 Although the identity of "detective" is supposed to represent "justice". But Okiya Subaru couldn't feel at ease at this moment.

After becoming Uzo's subordinate, he realized that the word "detective" is not unrelated to Uzo, but may be closely related to it. This is even the link that Uzo needs most.

—Those carefully staged killing techniques, if no one exposes them, lead to a hasty conclusion such as "suicide", which is definitely not a situation that Uzo wants to see.

For Usa, if the detective responsible for the "unveiling" is just an ordinary script reader, it would be too boring. Although there is no evidence, Subaru Okiya firmly believes that Usa is a person who attaches great importance to fun. guy. This can be seen from the rumors about him "teasing his colleagues" and "forcibly dragging his colleagues to watch death plays. If they refused, he would try to kill them."

Perhaps only a famous detective like Jiang Xia is worthy of completing the "unveiling"... Subaru Okiya tried hard to analyze his boss's mental process.
