Chapter 1035 1043 [Thank you for the gun]

"Ms. Kamimori went to the beauty salon."

The assistant instinctively answered the guest's question, and then her tone suddenly became a little complicated: "The teacher's new book has sold very well. We are going to hold a small celebration banquet tomorrow, so I have to get my hair done in advance."

Okiya Subaru: "..."Beauty salon. Fortunately, he almost thought the person was in the oven...

…

Next to her, Aunt Yashiro heard the words "celebration banquet" and said with a sigh, "It's amazing."

Okiya Subaru was pulled back to reality from the horror drama in his mind by her voice, and nodded in agreement.

Just after ordering, I heard Yashiro Aizhi continue without pause:

"You make a lot of money by plagiarizing other people's ideas, and you don't feel ashamed. How thick-skinned you are! I remember that most of the dishes in that 'best-selling cookbook' were carefully created by the assistant lady."

Yashiro Aizhi looked at his assistant and said with regret in a sarcastic tone:

"You've been her assistant for five years, and you must have been squeezed out of your bones. No wonder you're always so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow you down."

"Please don't say that." The assistant lowered her head in embarrassment and tugged at her skirt. "That's not an important dish... and the teacher has improved it herself."

"Ha! Everyone can do this, I can do it too." Yashiro Aze sneered and pushed his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose:

"The basics are all yours, and you don't even have a single complaint... Seriously, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Nishitani Hiroaki couldn't listen any longer:

"Sister Aze, stop talking. This is a matter between the teacher and Yuko! We outsiders can't help if we butt in."

"Really?" Yashiro Aizhi glanced at him from behind the lenses and smiled knowingly, "That's right, Kamimori has been investing in your store. How dare you butt in on the financial backer's business."

"You...!" Nishitani Hiroaki's forehead jumped and he wanted to say something, but he held it back.

“…”

Next to him, Okiya Subaru silently took a half step back, trying to distance himself from this group of people.

——In the past, when people around Subaru Okiya died suddenly, he actually had some premonition and tried to remind his friends to restrain certain behaviors, but it was to no avail.

This time...

Okiya Subaru glanced at everyone in the room, but for a moment he couldn't tell who was in the worst situation.

…

Maybe it was because his mind was too focused, as he was thinking, a picture suddenly popped up in Okiya Subaru's mind.

——Uzo, wearing a black suit that looked like a funeral procession, pushed up his sunglasses and taught him patiently in a gentle voice:

"Of course, my Lord chooses to take them all."

"!"

Subaru Okiya shuddered, shook his head to get rid of the horrible images in his mind, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He raised his head and glanced across the classroom, with a hint of worry in his eyes: there were so many people in the classroom, but how many of them could walk out alive from the room shrouded in the dark cloud of "Uzo"?

"..." Could it be that in the end, the people here will have a closed-loop case where B kills A, C kills B, D kills C, and then D dies from A's poisoning, and everyone dies... Although this place is located in a bustling municipal building, the classroom itself is quite remote, and not many people come up to this floor.

Okiya Subaru's eyes gradually became serious.

He couldn't help but tighten his arms and secretly felt the gun hidden in his ribs, which gave him a slight sense of security.

…

After struggling between "Run away!" and "Wait and see what happens", Okiya Subaru slowly calmed down.

He took out his cell phone, opened it and checked his mailbox.

As you can see above, there is still no news from the boss "Uzo".

After hesitating for a moment, Subaru Okiya decided to pretend that he didn't notice the unusual atmosphere and continue to be an ordinary freeloader.

Subaru Okiya: “…” If Usa doesn’t want to kill his humble subordinate, then there is no problem with him staying here.

And if Wu Zuo had already made up his mind to kill, and ran out randomly, he might die faster.

In addition, even if Wu Zuo did not intend to kill him, when he saw him running out in a panic, he might think that he was "guilty of a thief" and would not be able to resist testing him... In short, it is better to stay here until receiving instructions.

…

While Okiya Subaru's mind was working frantically, doing completely useless analysis questions.

From behind, Jiang Xia glanced at him strangely: "..."

Why does it seem like this graduate student is very nervous today? Did he discover that Uzo is right next to him?

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia simply took a step forward and patted Okiya Subaru on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"!!"

Okiya Subaru was startled and dodged sideways, while his other hand seemed to instinctively want to grab something.

But he quickly came back to his senses, stopped his movements in the surprised gazes of the crowd, then stood still and smiled naturally: "...Nothing. Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Jiang Xia: “…”

He recalled Okiya Subaru's dodging movements just now, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to the side of his new brother.

——As far as I can remember, when Toru Amuro saw a torn tire in the woods before, he had a similar reaction, as if he wanted to reach for a gun... How dare Subaru Okiya carry a gun with him?

Jiang Xia: “…” Subaru Okiya is not an adult detective and has no other relevant identity, so he should not be able to obtain a pistol license.

——In short, this person is likely carrying a gun illegally!

As a member of an organization that is supposed to hide its identity at all times, Lian Wuzo didn't risk doing such a thing. How could a subordinate be so careless about the overall situation... Next time I see you, I should give you a severe reprimand and confiscate something.

but……

Jiang Xia touched his chin and thought: In this way, if I take Okiya Subaru on a mission in the future, I can naturally borrow his gun... Even if this causes trouble later, Akai Shuichi will take the initiative to help clean it up. After all, "Okiya Subaru" is the alias he has targeted, and it is even possible that he got the gun.

After realizing this, Jiang Xia's slightly gloomy mood suddenly improved again.

…

Next to him, Subaru Okiya did not notice Jiang Xia's subtle changes.

He also realized that he had overreacted. So after briefly explaining a few things and fooling everyone present, Subaru Okiya focused his attention on the windows, outside the door, and corners that might be equipped with surveillance cameras - he was worried that his "traitor embryo" would be discovered by Usa, who was nowhere to be seen.

Conan heard the noise here and also poked his head out from the table, looking at Okiya Subaru in confusion.

——He just wandered to the other side of the classroom, his vision blocked by the tall table, so he didn’t see what happened before.

So now, I have to slowly look at the graduate student who has returned to normal, and try to get rid of my prejudice and objectively examine whether there is any problem with this person.
