Chapter 1698 1706 [Uzo's subordinates] Ask for monthly tickets (づど)

Miyano Akemi wandered back and forth, stroking her chin and thinking for a long time. Finally, she overcame her conscience and nodded modestly.

It's not that he's greedy, nor does he want to harm Akai Shuichi for food, it's just that the psychic master won't kill people, at most he'll take some murderous aura, and he's also willing to give Akai some necessary intelligence. This isn't exploitation, it's a fair and just transaction. After all, living people don't need murderous aura, so it's better to give it to the group that needs it.

Jiang Xia was not surprised by her choice. He touched Miyano Akemi's head and suddenly remembered another thing.

Jiang Xia walked to the window and closed the curtains, then pulled Matsuda Jinpei, who was still concentrating on sorting out the smell of smoke and murderous aura, out of the seal space and threw him into the puppet.

Soon, "Uzo" took shape in the house.

Jiang Xia possessed the body and called Subaru Okiya, like a good boss who cares about the health of his employees after a dinner party: "Did you get home safely?"

"I've returned to Tokyo as you said." Okiya Subaru's voice was a little vague, as if he had just returned from a near-death experience.

After a pause, he remembered his mission to "lead Jiang Xia to the crime scene anytime and anywhere": "By the way, Jiang Xia and I are in the same carriage, and Jiang Xia has also arrived in Tokyo."

Jiang Xia: "..." In the same carriage with me? Your presence is so low that I didn't even notice it.

...By the way, even you are here, how come there is no case in the car? Are you tired too?

Jiang Xia was not very satisfied with Conan and Okiya Subaru's performance on the road.

On the other side of the phone, Okiya Subaru heard that he didn't say anything, so he had to guess what his boss meant.

He hesitated and said, "Do you want me to wait near Jiangxia? He seems to have gone home now. I wonder if he will go out today."

Jiang Xia almost nodded.

However, remembering that this subordinate was now being used to lure Akai Shuichi, it would be best to let him return to his normal life temporarily, so he said regretfully: "You should go back to the apartment first, don't hide when you go out, write papers, attend classes, go shopping, and do whatever you want in your daily life - if Akai Shuichi contacts you during this time, tell him that I want to talk to him."

Although Shuichi Akai also killed people without blinking an eye, he was an undercover agent in the organization at that time.

And now, facing Okiya Subaru who was implicated by him, he would at least give him a chance to speak, without worrying about the life of the marshmallow brother he rescued being threatened.

Speaking of his younger brother, Jiang Xia was in a good mood: "By the way, I found a colleague for you, you two should get along well."

Okiya Subaru remembered the meaning of his previous words, and his eyes went dark: "...You mean Mr. Akai?"

Jiang Xia: "He's not yet, but when he comes back, we should talk about it - you two should get along well by then."

Okiya Subaru: “…” Goodbye.

I don't know if Mr. Akai would feel embarrassed when he thought of his "perfect escape plan", but when Subaru Okiya thought about how he finally succumbed to Usa's tyranny, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Thinking about the future meeting scene, he always felt very suffocated.

Fortunately, it sounds like Mr. Akai is still safe now and has not fallen into the hands of Uzo because of his capture.

Although the plan made by Shuichi Akai and his FBI teammates was completely useless, Subaru Okiya was not too angry: after all, their opponent was that devilish boss, and their defeat was not intentional, so it could be barely forgiven.

…But wait.

Since the "subordinate that gets along well with him" that Usa mentioned is not Mr. Akai, who else could it be?

During this trip to the UK, was there anyone else who fell victim to Uzo's murder?

When he thought that someone had experienced the same terrible thing as him, Subaru Okiya felt strangely relieved, and then a sense of sympathy welled up in his heart.

He suddenly hoped to meet that person as soon as possible, so that someone could distract Uzo's deadly attention from him in the future.

——Suffering alone is suffering. If two people suffer, they can unite and denounce the unscrupulous boss. Of course, at most, they can only grumble in their hearts... But that is much better than struggling alone now.

…

After Jiang Xia explained things to his younger brother, he dispersed the puppets, tidied up, and prepared to start the live broadcast to build momentum.

The live broadcast will be conducted online and will then be edited into a recording and broadcast on the show at the appropriate time.

Today is Monday, and school has already started. You can go to school to take a look at the situation.

However, from what the program crew said, it seems that they want to shoot detailed interior shots of the school tomorrow. Today, we will just give a general glimpse of the places Jiang Xia often goes to, so that the audience can have some basic understanding of the daily life of the famous detective.

So after negotiation, the initial filming was decided in Beika Town.

…

When the time came, Jiang Xia packed up and went out to a nearby cafe.

——Although he didn't mind his address being exposed, the production team was worried that some crazy fans would come to his house. So in the end, they made an appointment to meet at a cafe in Beika Town.

Jiang Xia followed the address and just as he turned the corner, he saw the filming team sent by the program production team standing in front of the cafe from afar.

The TV station's car stopped on the side of the road, and nearly ten people got out.

On the sidewalk, the sound and lighting equipment were doing their jobs, and a crowd of people surrounded a young and beautiful female star. And next to the female star was a... a... uh, a huge cat doll - the kind that often appears in amusement parks, wearing doll clothes and handing out balloons.

Jiang Xia stopped and looked at the huge fake cat: "......?"

Didn't they say the hosts were a man and a woman? Why did the male host suddenly become a cat?

"This is our live mascot today, Mr. Rice Flower!"

Yoko Kinoshita changed into a youthful outfit that was more like a student, and said something to the camera with a smile, interacting with the audience from time to time, warming up the audience.

Suddenly she noticed Jiang Xia approaching, she waved happily and said to the camera: "Our protagonist has appeared."

Although he felt that the stuffed cat standing on the street was a bit strange, Jiang Xia still walked over with a natural expression, as if one of the hosts originally chosen by the program team was a stuffed cat.

The general process of the live broadcast had been arranged, but in order to avoid confusing the audience, Jiang Xia shook hands with Kinoshita Yoko and the fake cat, and then specifically asked about today's schedule in front of the camera.

…

"Tell me about my daily life?"

"Yes." The cat spoke. His voice sounded like a child's. It was changed with a voice changer. It was not a high-end product like Dr. Agasa that could change into anyone he wanted. It was just a smooth voice that made it hard for others to distinguish the original voice. "And look at what kind of school has cultivated talents like you."
