Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 705: Countermeasures

Chapter 705 Response Plan

He needs to communicate with teammates who are unknown in the organization, but he doesn't want to reveal his identity... After thinking about it, Jiang Xia thought it would be better to throw a substitute out and let the fake Uzuo do things that are inconvenient for him.

 After all, according to the detectives, everything that has ever existed will leave traces.

So if you want to hide his real Uzo, the most cost-effective way is not to completely eliminate the traces of his existence, but to throw a shadow in front of him. People who were curious about Uzo's identity fought against the fog and followed the clues. In the end, they found only Matsuda Jinpei.

As for the fake "Uzo" Matsuda, he is actually a ghost. It is unrealistic to use him as a breakthrough to continue digging deeper.

What’s more, for a psychic, compared to having a ghost carrying a puppet running around, driving the puppet himself consumes much less murderous energy. So most of the time, this fake Uzo is actually the real Uzo. It’s even harder to see through.

Matsuda Jinpei can completely block all eyes directed at Uzo.

Of course, to achieve this goal, there is a slightly troublesome prerequisite—organizational cooperation.

 Otherwise, even if Jiangxia creates a fake "Uzuo", it will be useless if the organization refuses to recognize it and refuses to hand over relevant matters.

However, Jiang Xia didn't think the problem was big: From the organization's perspective, the identity of "Jiang Xia", a famous detective, was also an important part of Uzuo's value. His desire to find a stand-in to cover up his identity was a very reasonable request.

 …Having said that, the possibility of failure should also be considered in advance.

For example, although the organization agreed to the plan, because it did not trust outsiders, it first shot Matsuda Jinpei, a puppet who "knew too much", and then sent a blind box subordinate to Jiang Xia.

 For another example, the organization feels that "Jiang Xia", an alternative weapon, does not need to contact other members so early. He just needs to concentrate on shining in the detective industry, and then connect with the organization when he grows into a super weapon that can take down big guys from all walks of life with just his words. And then reject the plan of this substitute...

 …

 In short, it’s great to have a clear path for the identity of “Fake Uzo”.

  But in case of failure, as a cautious psychic, he should also consider the response plan in advance.

 Now, Jiangxia is preparing for that "in case".

 On the sofa opposite the stool.

Matsuda Jinpei took off his sunglasses and looked at the blood bag in his hand.

The scarlet liquid gurgled through the transparent film. This was what Jiang Xia had just handed to him, and it had only one purpose: to make him more like a normal living person in some strange ways—for example, he would bleed when he was shot.

Although Matsuda Jinpei said nothing, Jiang Xia saw the hesitation under his calm appearance. So he leaned back in his chair, like the president of an unknown small company, facing the employees who were about to charge into battle, using unreliable strategies and random encouragement:

"Don't think of yourself as a human being, you are just a ghost. There is no brain in the head, and you don't need to use it to think - even if you fail, it will collapse and reorganize again. This is just an ordinary blood bag, which will not damage your essence. .”

“…” Matsuda Jinpei nodded, his movements steady with a hint of stiffness, and he was not comforted at all.

Jiang Xia is actually a very reliable master, but according to Matsuda Jinpei's observation, this underage psychic master is sometimes very playful... In short, he is not so reliable sometimes, especially when he is thinking. It’s time to try something new.

Hide something inside a puppet, which is probably a new experience for Jiang Xia... Unfortunately, as a ghost who was deceived into Jiang Xia's name, Matsuda Jinpei could not refuse the master's request. Even now, Jiang Xia is not issuing orders, but is just engaging in a little encouraging deception, and Matsuda Jinpei is not able to refuse. This is the instinct engraved in their behavior. Even if she is a mermaid, when Jiang Xia takes away her murderous intent, she will just pounce on him and bite her a few times to express her dissatisfaction without any pain, but will not really want to take the murderous intent back from Jiang Xia's hand.

Since you can’t escape anyway, you might as well take the initiative... Matsuda Jinpei stared at the blood bag in his hand. He wanted to take a deep breath to relieve the tension of about to stuff water into his brain with his own hands.

 As a result, I suddenly discovered that I didn’t seem to have such detailed human organs as “lungs” and “trachea”. He didn't need to breathe at all, so he couldn't even talk about inhaling... The master of the psychic master was indeed right, he was indeed no longer a human being.

Thinking about it this way, Matsuda Jinpei felt a lot more relaxed despite feeling a little sad.

Finally, he gave up the useless preparation for deep breathing, and like a well-behaved and emotionless experimental subject, he consciously stuffed the blood bag into his mouth, pressed it against the roof of his mouth, then closed his eyes, and pressed it diagonally upward. .

Jiang Xia sat on the chair opposite, holding his chin up and watching this scene, like an unscrupulous landowner staring at the fields and studying how to efficiently squeeze the blood and sweat of the laborers.

After a moment, he suddenly stood up and approached, putting his hand on the back of Matsuda Jinpei's head. Based on the location of the blood bag and the information fed back by the puppet clay, he more precisely manipulated the pile of shaped puppet clay, trying to stuff the blood bag. Get inside the dummy's head.

As we all know, probably because in this world, everyone has a strong physical constitution, so the chance of death from being shot in the body is very low. Therefore, gin prefers to start when it is finished.

If we bring Matsuda Jinpei, the "fake Usa", and after the negotiation fails, Gin shoots the puppet that knows too much and destroys it, and then finds out that it is a dummy with no blood or brains...then things will become troublesome.

  At that time, the organization will definitely pay priority to this kind of human-like puppet compared to any detective or stand-in. And if we want to prevent this kind of weird information from leaking out, we can only find a way to silence or lock up Gin and Vodka... huh? It doesn’t seem impossible?

Jiang Xia slowly thought of various styles of murderous perpetual motion machines, or high-end liquor brand murderous ones, which made her a little excited.

 …But then I thought about it, Vodka was okay, but Gin had a bad temper, and I felt that the success rate of being captured alive was not high. Silencing people is too wasteful. After all, people can die at any time while they are alive and have the opportunity to become ghosts. But once dead, Gui Fei cannot risk murder every day. From birth to death, this process cannot be reversed.

In addition, Jiang Xia had arranged to meet with Gin in advance. Once Gin and Vodka disappeared, it would not be difficult for the organization to trace him, which would break his peaceful life. Jiang Xia still preferred the present to playing fighting games with a global organization every day. This kind of leisurely life where you pet your cat every day, spend time with your clients, and occasionally go on a trip, you can safely pick up ghosts and murderous spirits.
