Chapter 778: Embarrassingly asking for monthly votes (`)

Okiya Subaru: "!"

Thinking about the unintentional comments made by the media, and then thinking about the way Uzo completed the task, Okiya Subaru suddenly had some horrifying associations. He accidentally tripped over the curb stone under his feet and staggered two steps before regaining his balance.

 Ahead, the little mixed-race girl next to Jiang Xia heard the movement and turned around to look at him in surprise.

When his eyes fell on Okiya Subaru's glasses, he seemed to think that for a short-sighted man who was driven crazy by the paper, this kind of thing was quite normal. Haibara Ai turned his head back without caring much and continued walking on his own. road.

"Um...I'm a little worried about the gentleman just now. I always feel that he will act impulsively." Subaru Okiya made a random excuse and said to Jiang Xia like an enthusiastic passerby, "I can't help much with the investigation. , why not go to him and have a look... If you need any help, you can always come to me."

Jiang Xia nodded, grabbed the three naughty children who wanted to sneak away with Okiya Subaru, and glanced at Okiya Subaru's leaving figure.

 …Just now, the expression of the new subordinate was a bit strange, and there was a vague feeling of familiarity.

Jiang Xia recalled it carefully and found that Subaru Okiya's expression just now was similar to the expression he had when he suddenly discovered that "Usa is not a good person" before, as if he had discovered some great secret...

　　　…”

　　…this overthinking guy with glasses must be trying to take off his vest.

Jiang Xia touched his chin and thought about it from Subaru Okiya's perspective. He felt that this was not a simple matter.

—First of all, unless Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai are promoted to the status of Gin within a year, there will be no way to uncover the information about "Eka = Usa".

 As for the connection between "Wuzuo" and "Jiangxia"...

There are many coincidences in the world. It is not unreasonable for a crime-solving genius and a mastermind to exist in Tokyo at the same time. In the eyes of the world, it is quite reasonable. After all, where there is black, there is white, and where there is light, there is darkness - Jiang Xia can definitely be a clueless detective who has vaguely noticed the clues left by Wu Zuo, but there is no concrete evidence yet, so he has to pursue it silently.

Even if we dig deeper, "Uzo" will still be blamed for everything.

For example, in order to improve the efficiency of his tasks, Wu Zuo deliberately provided clues to involve the detectives... If he digs deeper, the most he can find is "Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo's subordinate. Usually the famous detectives find cases to solve and experience on their own." In life, help Uzo solve a case at a critical moment and experience work."

Even this most superficial layer is not as easy to dig as it seems.

Even if Subaru Okiya or Shuichi Akai really dig it out, the FBI is not the police of the island country. They only get tourist visas. If they are not careful, they will be deported back to the country. Without conclusive evidence and only relying on speculation, "Jiang Xia" " and "Akai Shuichi + Okiya Subaru" are placed in front of the police at the same time. No matter what they think, the police here will arrest the latter first.

 …

Jiang Xia meditated while walking.

 The only thing that makes people curious now is how much Shuichi Akai knows about "Jiang Xia".

The identity of "Jiangxia" as a "peripheral member" is indeed not a secret among some people.

But no matter how secretive it is, he is still a member of a mysterious organization, and no one has ever publicized it to the outside world with a loudspeaker. Moreover, when Jiangxia and the Miyano sisters started to have contact, Shuichi Akai had already left the organization and went to the United States. Normally, Shuichi Akai probably doesn't have time to pay attention to a peripheral paddling employee. Even if Akai Shuichi is a bit gossipy and learns this piece of information, he will at most suspect that Jiang Xia and Uzuo are slightly related, so he will return to his previous speculation... huh?

 …Speaking of which, if Akai Shuichi felt that "Essence" was also Usa's subordinate, would he take the initiative to come to him?

After all, when comparing "Esuka" and "Okiya Subaru", Subaru Okiya, who is "always a marginal member", and Jiang Xia, who is "a bit marginal, but still an ancestral member", no matter what, Jiang Xia has more information. , better promotion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but feel a little moved:

If Shuichi Akai was really so considerate, then he wouldn't have to drive a cat so hard to follow Subaru Okiya all over the city - although the murderous energy consumed by the cat vest is very small, if it leaves the main body too far, it will still consume a fortune Heart-wrenching rations.

However, the heartbeat is the heartbeat.

Jiang Xia recalled Okiya Subaru's cautious and overthinking character, and felt that he couldn't be too proactive. If you directly sell the weakness to Subaru Okiya, it will be like fishing with a straight hook, and it is easy to do bad things.

To be on the safe side, I have to be patient and take it slow...

Concerning this matter, even if "Jiangxia" loses the vest of "Uzuo's subordinates" one day, it cannot be on the same stand as Uzuo. Instead, it should be a "just subordinate who was persecuted by Uzo but who was firmly opposed to Uzo in his heart."

Since it is the true nature, of course we still have to lean towards the good people.

 After all, although Black has abundant murderous intent, Red can also pick up a lot of useful resources. The fact that the red side is not exchanging information now does not mean that they will never communicate with each other. No one wants to just do multiple-choice questions when they can "get it all" with a little more effort.

Although Shuichi Akai is good at Jeet Kune Do, in modern society, hot weapons are still preferred by the fans.

What Jiang Xia wants to see is Akai Shuichi who comes to him face to face and can be drawn into murderous auras so that he can be easily stuffed into a sack and carried away. He didn't want to face the silver bullets of a sniper rifle at a distance of several hundred yards.

 …

Conan and Haibara Ai, although they also think Subaru Okiya is a bit strange, after all, the other person seems to be under a lot of pressure, and so far, everything he says and does has reasonable explanations.

 Therefore, as soon as Okiya Subaru left, the two of them turned their attention away from him and didn't think much about it for the time being.

"I don't think we can just listen to one side of the story - if there was conclusive evidence, the police would have searched Yiichi Watanuki's yard long ago. And the current situation shows that Masao Koda lacks 'the body was buried in Yiichi Watanuki's yard' Corresponding evidence. Since there is no evidence..." Conan's heart was about to investigate the case, "Why don't we try to find it first?"

Haihara Ai remembered what Koda Masao said before they separated from them, and sighed: "His attitude just now probably meant that he wanted to cancel the commission. Do you want to continue doing it?"

Jiang Xia sighed after her: "There's no way to ignore it."

"…?" Hui Yuan Ai raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, remembering Jiang Xia's inner leisurely character who loved paddling, and suspected that there was something hidden behind the matter. However, if Jiang Xia doesn't want to talk, she'd better not ask random questions in front of Conan... If Kudo Shinichi's thirst for knowledge is aroused, it won't be able to stop it with just one or two words.
