Chapter 1038 1046 [Usa = Okiya Subaru? ]
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed. He looked at the wine table blocked by Amuro Toru and picked a cup of Coke from his tray with disdain.
Then Jiang Xia glanced at Conan and Suzuki Sonoko who were getting dessert at the next table, and before the two noticed this, he lowered his voice and said:
"You mean Mr. Okiya? He is a graduate student of engineering at Toudou University. We met him in a case before, and he also provided us with some clues..."
As he spoke, Jiang Xia seemed to understand something, and his eyes became thoughtful: "Is there something wrong with him?"
Toru Amuro nodded, his movements somewhat hesitant.
——Ever since receiving the invitation letter from Uzo to "come to the Nishitama City Hall to watch the fireworks", Toru Amuro has suspended his other part-time jobs, rushed here quickly, quickly interviewed for a suitable job, and explored the building.
However, after two days of investigation, they still couldn't find anything unusual: no one with the aura of the organization coming in or out, no dangerous items, and no fireworks... If we were to say the most "abnormal" factor during this period, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Xia and the graduate student who had just talked to Jiang Xia and the others.
Of these two people...
Toru Amuro compared the two in his mind for a moment and felt a bit of a headache, so he stopped thinking and silently crossed out Jiang Xia.
——Some time ago, he had already verified at a considerable cost: Jiang Xia is not Wu Zuo.
This employee is just a bit strong in the event physique. In addition... Thinking about it, Amuro Toru couldn't help but look at Suzuki Sonoko and Conan, the two "acquaintances of Jiang Xia".
…
Seeing Toru Amuro nod, Jiang Xia began to think about the possible questions that "Okiya Subaru" might have:
"The last time I met him was in a corpse hiding case. The deceased was an employee of a securities company, and the murderer seemed to be a president... At that time, Mr. Okiya and Conan met by chance in the park, and went to play baseball near the burial site to relax. That's where we met.
"This time it was because Mr. Okiya, the cooking class, had an invitation letter from a nearby class, and he got the time wrong and came too early, so he just joined us..."
Jiang Xia briefly recounted his experience.
Amuro Toru didn't listen carefully to the second half of the conversation, because he was upstairs just now and saw the encounter between Jiang Xia and Okiya Subaru.
- If I remember correctly, before meeting Jiangxia, Okiya Subaru had looked in the direction of this municipal building several times. It seemed that he originally wanted to come here, but he saw Jiangxia halfway and changed his plan.
Later, this group of people encountered a murder case at Toya Design. Amuro Toru had asked Kazami Yuya to find out the details of the case.
——According to the police officer involved, Okiya Subaru's presence was not high throughout the case. The only thing he remembered was that he seemed to be always near Jiang Xia, and he had a conversation with Jiang Xia, and he vaguely heard Jiang Xia praising him for being suitable to be a detective.
Amuro Toru: “…” The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became.
Speaking of which, if Okiya Subaru is someone related to Usa, it is inevitable that he would be interested in Jiang Xia - detectives in the organization are already very rare, and Usa specially sent an invitation letter to "Bourbon", indicating that he is currently paying attention to him. In this way, it is normal for him to pay attention to Jiang Xia who works in Amuro Detective Agency.
In addition, Jiang Xia said that Okiya Subaru is a graduate student of engineering at Toudou University. Toudou University is a top university in the country. The organization has always had the habit of recruiting members from scholars and politicians. Although studying for a master's degree at this age is not considered a genius, if Okiya Subaru has other expertise, even the identity of "Toudou University graduate student of engineering" is itself a kind of entertainment...
We need to check this person out.
Toru Amuro's investigation, which was originally a little confused, suddenly had a direction.
Coming back to his senses from his thoughts, he found Jiang Xia was still looking at him. Amuro Toru remembered Jiang Xia's question just now and nodded: "Be careful with him."
...Even if Okiya Subaru is not Usa, it would never be a bad idea to be more careful when facing such a strange stranger.
…
After asking the suspicious graduate student, Toru Amuro finally remembered something.
He looked at Jiang Xia: "What are you doing here? Do you have any related commission?" - It couldn't be that he just came out to play with his classmates.
"Of course I'm here to take the cooking class! And by the way, I'm here to join in the fun at the party." A voice from the side interrupted. Suzuki Sonoko was holding a tray of small desserts and threw a piece into her mouth.
She looked at Amuro Toru, her eyes paused briefly on the slim-fitting waiter uniform: "..." This boss in Jiangxia really likes working part-time...
"Mr. Amuro is working here now?" Suzuki Sonoko recalled this and was a little confused. "I never saw you when I came here before."
"I just come here occasionally." Amuro Toru vaguely felt that her eyes were not right, as if she was thinking about something strange. However, after all, it was still the clear eyes of a high school student, not threatening, so he didn't think too much about it.
Seeing her, Toru Amuro suddenly thought: Not only Jiang Xia has an event-prone physique, but all of his classmates seem to be similar... No, maybe Jiang Xia just has the "occasionally encountering acquaintances" physique, and the event-prone physique is inherent to these acquaintances - in the last fully closed-door experiment, the information was clearly blocked tightly, and even the routes were random, but they always ran into Jiang Xia's classmates everywhere, and then encountered cases... Tsk, I feel a little tired just thinking about it.
…
Amuro Toru pressed his forehead calmly, trying to drive the bad memories out of his mind.
He was just trying to find an excuse to go to the cooking class to see that "Okiya Subaru".
But at this moment, two women suddenly passed by one after another in the passage next to them.
The woman in a suit and skirt chased after the man in a kimono, looking anxious:
"Teacher, I really think it's better to stop the performance - that threatening letter..."
"Shut up!" Okano Rika scolded her, "Do you know how long I have been preparing for this dinner? You want me to stop the performance with a jokey letter? - Tui! He's dreaming!"
When Conan heard the key words "threatening letter", his ears twitched and he couldn't help but move closer to talk.
Before he spoke, Conan had an idea. He turned around and pointed at Amuro Toru, and said to the two women passing by: "If you are troubled by the threatening letter, why not go to the detective for help - that gentleman is the owner of the famous 'Amuro Detective Agency'!"
...Although there is no evidence, Conan always feels that there is something wrong with Toru Amuro.
Since we have met here, we might as well find an excuse to keep him busy so that he has no time to do other things.
"Amuro Detective Agency?"
Rika Okano and her assistant were startled, and looked in the direction Conan pointed, their eyes fell on Toru Amuro.
