Chapter 673 Enthusiastic Uzo Asking for Monthly Tickets (〃〃)

Jiang Xia listened carefully and nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."

"Suzuki Sonoko" was stunned and couldn't help but look at him.

"..." Jiang Xia was quite enthusiastic. This was far from the "Uzo" she knew.

Could it be that because Angel and Cool Guy were around, Uzo subconsciously wanted to hide the differences between him and his classmates, pretend to be the same type of people, and shorten the distance?

Vermouth was initially moved by this appearance.

Then I felt something was not right.

Because she suddenly remembered that a while ago, when she was still in the United States, Gin felt that the newcomer "Uzo" he favored was a little strange, so he wanted to find someone who knew about this to see what was going on. Because Uzo's original psychologist attacked a police officer and was imprisoned, the organization had no new candidates for the time being, so Gin found her.

As far as I can remember, in the information that Gin sent me at that time, "Uzo" was indeed not a warm-hearted good person, but he would often make enthusiastic actions, especially liking to talk to passers-by who had stories to tell.

According to the records, every time Wu Zuo was enthusiastic, the unlucky passers-by who were taken care of by him would often encounter some bad experiences - either becoming murderers or being killed suddenly. In the best case, they would have to go to the police station and give a statement to the police as a witness because their acquaintances suddenly killed or were suddenly killed.

...It won’t be like this again this time.

Vermouth looked at Jiang Xia, then at Conan not far away, and fell into silence for a short time.

"..." After so much time, Uzo still didn't reveal his true nature in front of cool guy, which means he was probably avoiding this.

But even so, he actually planned to harm the passers-by who took the initiative to talk to him in front of his classmates who had strong observation skills?

It can't be true, as Gin said, that Uzo has become addicted to these murder dramas.

...No, we can't jump to conclusions so quickly.

Looking at the bright side, maybe now, Jiang Xia simply wanted to play the role of an enthusiastic high school detective in front of his classmates and their parents, so he agreed to help.

I must have been led astray by Gin. As soon as I saw Uzo talking to me, I immediately thought that Uzo was instigating murder... This is not right. And just now, Uzo didn't say much, and it didn't seem like he was looking for an opportunity to hint to passers-by.

"Garden?"

Mao Lilan's voice came, the clear voice penetrated her confused thoughts and brought her back to reality.

Vermouth, who was thinking seriously, was startled and turned her eyes away from Jiang Xia, and found that the others were ready to leave. She slowed down a few steps, and the others were looking back at her.

"Haha, the scenery here is so beautiful, let me take a few more looks." "Suzuki Sonoko" smiled somewhat embarrassedly, trotted over and hugged Mouri Ran's arm, and blended back into the team as if nothing had happened.

The group left the frame tree that was tangled in a handkerchief and looked unattractive, strolled around the area, and then prepared to return to the hotel, leaving a message for Mr. Hozumi.

…

By the time we arrived at the hotel, it was almost dusk.

Toru Amuro, who had left halfway before, had returned ahead of them.

Seeing a group of people coming in, Toru Amuro nodded at Jiang Xia from a distance, as if he had something to say.

Jiang Xia then turned around and nodded to Mao Lilan and the others, and told them about the "message" she had received from the passerby assistant guide. Then she went to Amuro Toru.

As Jiang Xia walked towards Amuro Toru, the faint smell of apples behind him silently became a little stronger.

At the same time, Toru Amuro looked past Jiang Xia and glanced at Vermouth. He seemed to have discovered that she was not very friendly, so, perhaps out of an instinctive self-protection or out of disgust for the members of the organization, a murderous aura with a hint of coffee smell wafted from his body.

Jiang Xia: “…”

...What a pity. The members of the organization are always elusive. Otherwise, if they gather a few cadres who don't get along well with each other, it would be a feast of murder.

However, it seems that not all cadres have murderous aura. Let alone people like Vodka who have extremely rare murderous aura, Tequila and the like have never had murderous aura at all... Now it seems that I still need to occasionally mix up my performance, work hard to enter the elite class, and find some cadres who are not so cannon fodder.

While thinking, Jiang Xia walked to the corner of the hall.

There were some partitions separated by screens, and Amuro was on the innermost side.

At this time, this fake wine, who was very good at enjoying life, had already ordered some desserts and tea drinks. At a glance, they were all the most expensive in the store, served in exquisite bone china cups and placed on a table with a dark green background.

Jiang Xia pulled out the chair opposite Amuro Toru and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, I suddenly felt the phone in my pocket vibrate.

——This was given to him by Toru Amuro on the way from the Toshin Forest to the maple forest here. And Jiang Xia's own phone, theoretically speaking, should have been blown up in the Twilight Annex, along with Toru Amuro's No. 1 Mazda.

…

I took out my phone and saw a message lying quietly inside.

I looked at the sender's address and it was from Toru Amuro.

Jiang Xia: “…” He raised his head and glanced at Toru Amuro, who was sitting opposite him. He was holding a teacup in one hand and pressing his mobile phone with the other hand. He looked like an ordinary passerby who was killing time out of boredom.

Although I understand that the boss did not say it directly but sent a message to prevent others from eavesdropping.

but……

Jiang Xia was briefly confused for a moment, and couldn't figure out why Amuro Toru didn't go back to the room to discuss important matters, but sat in the hall to send messages. Was it because he wanted to have tea and snacks in a spacious and clean environment, or to observe the movements of other people in the hall?

However, as a subordinate who was passive and slacking off when facing organizational tasks, Jiang Xia did not ask any further questions.

Just treat yourself as a mindless tool, open your phone and check the messages.

The content of the letter was a brief explanation from Toru Amuro about what he had done after leaving the team today, as well as his speculation on the situation.

[I found a skeleton in the maple forest. There was a steel nail in the collarbone, but I haven't looked closely at other parts.

[According to what I just learned, five years ago, Omori Yuichi, who was attending the meeting, had a car accident. Nearly a month later, this person suddenly disappeared. And he happened to be an old friend and rival of Watanuki Tatsuzo.

[After his disappearance, there was a vacancy and Watanuki Tatsuzo successfully got the position of secretary-general.

[Although there is not enough evidence at present, I think these past events should have some connection with what is happening today.

[——For example, five years ago, Omori Yuichi was not missing, but was killed by Watanuki Tatsuzo. Afterwards, Watanuki Tatsuzo hid the body on this mountain and marked it accordingly, but now, he can't find where the mark is.]
