Chapter 1088 1096 [Letter from Uzo]
The central figures of several mysteries were not present at the scene at this time.
Conan, full of questions, finally had to turn his inquiring gaze to Toru Amuro.
"Amuro-nii-san."
Conan glanced at the surrounding police officers and asked in a voice that they could all hear: "I heard from Sister Xiaolan that when the second elevator left, you were still in the lobby - how strange, the police had already asked male passengers to evacuate via the bridge, why did you secretly stay in the building?"
Toru Amuro came back to his senses and glanced at the scheming first-grader: "..." Oh, luckily he brought the crutch back just now.
Facing Conan and the police, Toru Amuro said naturally, "I already had some ideas about the case, and I thought the fire was on the 40th floor, and it would take some time for it to reach the banquet hall, so I wanted to stay secretly and look for clues - if the fire can't be put out, the clues will all be burned to ashes. As a professional detective, I don't want to see a criminal escape the punishment of the law."
Inspector Megure thought of the crucial cane given to him by Toru Amuro and the "broken wine glass" serial murder case that had troubled the police for several days, and his face suddenly broke into a smile.
He patted Amuro Toru's shoulder affectionately, and after a pause, he secretly wiped off the water as if nothing had happened: "Thanks to you this time, Amuro brother."
Conan: "..." Don't call everyone "brother"! This guy is definitely not a serious detective. At least he must be more than just a detective. No matter how you look at him, he seems to have a lot of secrets!
However, as a "first-grade elementary school student", without any evidence, Conan could only watch the suspicious Amuro Toru silently, and constantly use his cunning means to improve Inspector Megure's favor.
Of course, as a true detective, Conan would never take it lightly like the police.
He looked at Amuro Toru suspiciously: If I remember correctly, this detective boss has always been a hands-off boss, throwing all the client commissions and even those private jobs to Jiang Xia.
He absolutely did not believe that such a lazy detective would stay in the building to solve the case.
So, why is Toru Amuro acting so abnormal today?
Conan: "..." This person took the initiative to take on the task of "solving the case". Could it be that he wanted to persuade Jiang Xia to evacuate so that he could trick Jiang Xia into the elevator and assassinate him? If the snipers who were hiding in the dark had a sudden thought and thought that they were going to kill someone anyway, they might as well snipe the famous detective. Then Jiang Xia...
"..." Fortunately, Jiang Xia was alert enough and took Yuanzi to avoid the first shot. After that, the light in the elevator dimmed, and the elevator was damaged and shaking, making it difficult to aim. Otherwise, he might have lost two classmates tonight... Conan thought about it and couldn't help showing a sharp look of being offended.
While Toru Amuro was secretly guessing Okiya Subaru's intentions, Conan was secretly guessing Amuro Toru's intentions, and Okiya Subaru was secretly guessing "Usa"'s intentions.
…
Uzo himself didn’t think about anything and had successfully reached home.
He parked his motorcycle, closed the curtains, stretched comfortably in his own space, and then removed the tie around his arm.
When he turned up the tear in his sleeve, he saw that the scratch inside had healed... Fortunately, he ran fast enough and was not taken to the ambulance.
Jiang Xia washed and changed his clothes. To be on the safe side, he found a blood bag and a bandage and wrapped his arm again. Then he decided to close the door tonight and fool around for the night.
The scars in this world are quite strange. Even though they are both bullet wounds, some can heal in the blink of an eye, some can heal in two days, and some can kill people instantly... In addition, even if they are both shallow scrapes, some can disappear in a day, while others can remain for a long time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked down at his arm - since no one had ever seen what this wound looked like, he might as well just treat it as a bullet scratch from the "will heal after a good night's sleep" series.
Also, speaking of scars…
Jiang Xia remembered something, took off the black wristband with golden patterns on his left hand, and looked down.
There is still a long and deep scar on the wrist.
Jiang Xia: “…” This scar is really stubborn. It refuses to disappear no matter how it is repaired.
But on second thought, this is also proof that Jiang Xiatongzhi has lived and died. And anyway, it no longer affects movement, it's just a little ugly... I'll just keep it, at worst I can buy some more wrist guards of various styles to cover it up. This way it will not only not be an eyesore, but also look mysterious, and I can change the pattern every day to show my good mood for the day...
While thinking, Jiang Xia opened his mobile phone and placed an order for several new wristbands.
Then he found another mobile phone, opened the email, entered Okiya Subaru's email address, and prepared to communicate with the surprising "buy one get two free new subordinates" before going to bed.
…
[You seem to have a little secret of your own.
But I don't mind.
——A mature leader should tolerate his subordinates’ occasional creative ideas and surprising unauthorized actions.
After all, we are people engaged in creative work. It would be too boring if everyone followed the rules and their actions could be seen through at a glance.
In short, I hope you can keep doing what you are doing and bring me more surprises.
PS: After today, please continue to go to work as usual when your boss needs you.
Of course, people are born free and should not be bound by leaders. If you are determined to resign, please don't feel burdened. You can tell me at any time, and I will prepare a grand farewell banquet for you to commemorate our meeting.
——by: Your enlightened leader]
“…”
More than ten kilometers away, in an apartment near Dongdu University.
Subaru Okiya's hand holding the phone trembled, his face turned pale and blue. He stared at the screen of the phone, and had the urge to throw the phone away immediately... But he was afraid that if he did so, the phone would be broken, and he would lose contact with Usa for a short time, and then Usa would mistakenly think that he was going to "resign" and come to his house to give him a "farewell surprise" in advance.
"...He found out. He must have found out." Okiya Subaru pinched the phone with two fingers and instinctively lifted it away, as if the farther away it was, the safer he would be. "What does Uzo mean by this? Not letting me resign... Are you going to continue to send me missions as if nothing happened, and then trick me into killing you?"
On the other side, Akai Shuichi has been dealing with brutal villains for many years, but he is much calmer than Okiya Subaru.
He saw the cell phone that Okiya Subaru had pushed far away but he didn't dare to let go of, so he walked over to take it in his hand, looked at the mailbox, and checked it carefully.
