Chapter 1049 1057 [Who is Bourbon's subordinate]
In addition, Subaru Okiya has always had a good impression of Jiang Xia: he firmly believes that this righteous high school detective will not be an accomplice of Usa, nor will he obey Usa's orders.
In this case, if Jiang Xia wants to appear at the right time and place where the murder took place to reveal Uzo's secret... something is undoubtedly needed, such as... a task from the boss of the detective agency?
Okiya Subaru suddenly had a guess:
——Perhaps Toru Amuro is actually Usa’s subordinate!
Of course, although they were both subordinates, Toru Amuro's status was probably higher than his new younger brother. "Contact Jiang Xia and lead him to the crime scene" was a very important task no matter how you looked at it...
…
Opposite Okiya Subaru.
At this moment, Toru Amuro's brain speed was not much slower than his.
Previously, Toru Amuro's observations of Subaru Okiya were all just a distant glance across the street, or a quick glance across the classroom.
But now that he was closer and had time to take a closer look, Toru Amuro discovered with a little surprise that although Okiya Subaru's expression was quite calm when facing him, there was always a vague sense of tension, and there was a slight inquiry in his eyes when he looked at him.
This made Toru Amuro a little hesitant.
——He always felt that this kind of emotion should not appear in Uzo, who invited him to "watch the fireworks".
On the other hand, Okiya Subaru's "tension" was too obvious in Amuro Toru's eyes.
Toru Amuro couldn't help but think again - what if Okiya Subaru is really Usa, and his current reaction was just his prediction of his own prediction and he acted it out deliberately?
Although I haven't met Uzo directly, a guy who is good at planning scripts must also be a good actor...
Toru Amuro: “…” However, one thing is certain.
——Okiya Subaru is likely related to Usa.
"..." Let Yuya Kazami investigate him, and then find a chance to follow Subaru Okiya and see if there are any clues.
Toru Amuro quickly determined his schedule for the next period of time.
…
Okiya Subaru and Amuro Toru were "casually chatting" in the classroom.
Behind the table a few meters away.
Conan secretly poked out half of his head, looked around, then pushed his glasses up, thinking that these two people were very strange.
Conan: "..." We are supposed to have nothing in common, so why is the atmosphere so serious? I feel like something is not right...
At the door further away.
Jiang Xia looked at Okiya Subaru and Amuro Toru, then looked at Conan who was hiding behind the table and peeking, and yawned out of boredom.
Although the imagination of these three people is definitely quite interesting, it does not lose the murderous aura... Jiang Xia quickly looked away with a lack of interest and looked at the police.
Thanks to the hard work of the forensic police officers, the evidence progressed rapidly.
"There are no fingerprints from outside on the door handle, and the last fingerprint is quite clear." Sato Miwako walked to Jiang Xia and showed him the results of the investigation:
"Combined with the timed power-off device, it doesn't look like the crime was committed by an outsider. But if it was committed by an insider... we just tested it. The cooking classroom has blackout curtains. After the power went out suddenly, the surrounding light was extremely dim. It should be difficult for the people in the room to determine the location of the deceased after he moved."
As she spoke, Sato Miwako's gaze gradually shifted from Jiang Xia, who was listening attentively to the case, to a figure in the distance.
——The mixed-race boss of Jiangxia had no intention of helping to solve the case, and was instead chatting with Subaru Okiya.
Although Okiya Subaru was also one of the students in tonight's cooking class and could be considered an insider, Sato Miwako had just carefully eavesdropped on a few sentences and discovered that what the two were talking about had nothing to do with the current case.
Officer Sato: “…” He lets his employees work hard to solve the case, while he himself is just slacking off and chatting on the side… Ha, damn capitalist, irresponsible and scumbag boss.
She paused the conversation, walked over, and prepared to throw Amuro Toru, the "person irrelevant to the case", out of the crime scene.
Jiang Xia was startled and quickly followed her.
——Although Amuro Toru's murderous aura was not that strong when facing the genuine Okiya Subaru, whose identity was questionable, it was still much more pleasing to the eye than his usual non-murderous appearance.
Moreover, the longer the two people communicate, the more suspicious Amuro Toru becomes of Okiya Subaru, and the more likely he is to take some actions, leading to a sudden encounter with his perceived enemy Akai Shuichi one day in the future.
…
So before Officer Sato interrupted the friendly conversation between the two people.
Jiang Xia pulled her aside and changed the subject: "Have you found the murder weapon?"
"...Not yet. We have to search the students' belongings first. If we still can't find anything, I'm afraid we'll have to search their bodies." Officer Sato turned around and saw Jiang Xia asking seriously. Finally, he couldn't help but answer:
"We previously suspected that the murder weapon was an ice pick and an iron skewer used in cooking. But after testing, there was no blood on them. In addition, according to the people at the hospital, the victim's wound was 5 centimeters deep and less than one millimeter in diameter - at this size, the murder weapon is more like a needle."
Next to him, Subaru Okiya, who was originally chatting, heard Sato Miwako say "body search" and a layer of cold sweat silently broke out on his back.
……search?
But he was carrying a gun. If it was found out at this time...
In Subaru Okiya's mind, a series of smooth and natural images emerged, such as "carrying a gun without a license", "being taken away by the police for investigation", "before getting on the police car, a sniper bullet from the organization streaked through the sky and flew from a distance", "biu", etc.
Okiya Subaru: "..."
He pushed his glasses up silently.
...Damn it, I was so careless.
——He had thought so much just now, but he had not realized that the presence of Wu Zuo meant that a large number of murders would soon occur around him.
A large number of murders will naturally attract the police. And "Okiya Subaru", an originally inconspicuous passerby, will actually attract a search when he plays the role of a background board!
For a moment, Okiya Subaru was filled with regret.
——If he were given another chance to write "How to Survive Uzo's Hand", he would definitely make it a priority to engrave the iron rule of "Don't carry a gun when Uzo is around" firmly on it.
Although this would greatly reduce his combat effectiveness and cause some danger...
But is there anything more dangerous than ouzo?
Okiya Subaru: “…” There’s no use regretting, so what should we do now?
If I immediately email my boss to admit my mistake, will I get a chance to reflect on it?
He fell into deep thought for a moment.
…
Okiya Subaru's ability to control his facial expressions has always been very good, and the police around him were unable to notice anything wrong.
Unfortunately, the person standing opposite him at this time was the well-known intelligence agent "Bourbon", who had risen from an outsider to a cadre in just a few years.
