Chapter 15441552 [Are you also a subordinate of Uzo? ! ]
Subaru Okiya lowered his head and didn't dare to respond. He just felt that the "capable subordinates" in Usa's previous words could be completely replaced by "fun that I want to watch."
As he waited anxiously, the man in black opposite him gently pushed up his sunglasses and finally spoke:
"Don't take the job too seriously. Learn to enjoy life and work. In general, there are only two things you need to do in the next two years. One is to return to Tokyo and take shifts with Akai as you did a while ago, and continue to be an 'ordinary' peripheral member."
When Okiya Subaru heard the name "Akai", his heart skipped a beat: he did not reply to the email sent by Akai Shuichi just now, and combined with the mysterious appearance of "Ms. Misa", Mr. Akai must have discovered something was wrong and is trying to escape from the organization's control and observe the situation secretly.
It stands to reason that such a vigilant FBI ace would not easily fall into the organization's clutches.
But now, Uzo used the word "shift", as if he was very sure that Akai Shuichi would also become his subordinate.
Subaru Okiya: “…” Although he had already deeply experienced the terrifying nature of Uzo when he was in the magic venue just now.
But thinking about his past interactions with Shuichi Akai, the FBI ace... thinking that Mr. Akai would eventually become Usa's puppet, he couldn't help but feel a creepy sense of dislocation.
In Okiya Subaru's opinion, these two people were actually evenly matched. But now...
"As for the second thing you are going to do."
He didn't have much time to think about it, Wu Zuo's voice suddenly rang out again: "You should have paid attention to the cases that Jiang Xia solved."
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses with a start and nodded.
Jiang Xia looked at him while driving the puppet, and quietly added a little bit of personal content to the second task: "One of your tasks in the future is to take the initiative to approach the high school student detective when you meet him, and take him to any place where a murder may have occurred."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
Before, he always had a vague feeling that the cases happening around Jiang Xia were secretly manipulated by Wu Zuo.
Now it seems that this is not just a coincidence. Shuichi Akai's case is understandable, after all, Mr. Akai and the organization have always been mortal enemies. But for the second mission... why did Wu Zuo keep staring at Jiang Xia? Was it just because this high school detective could crack his script?
Thinking of the fact that Jiang Xia had saved him several times by accident, Okiya Subaru felt a little pang of conscience.
He hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but whispered: "Is that detective our enemy?"
Wu Zuo just looked at him with a mysterious smile: "It's a long story. There is a hidden story behind this matter. It's a serious matter, so I don't want to say it clearly. I can only say that those who know it know it, and those who don't know it won't know it even if they hear it. You are a peripheral member, it's useless even if you know these, so don't ask nonsense."
“?!”
It sounded like just a bunch of meaningless nonsense, but to Subaru Okiya's ears, it was like a thunderclap, and his fingers trembled with shock - these words were clearly the words he had said to fool Conan in the noisy and chaotic venue just now!
Judging from how noisy it was around them at the time, these words should have been known only to him and Conan.
But now, not much time has passed, and all these words have reached Wu Zuo's ears... Could it be that the first-grade student who looks very smart is actually a puppet of Wu Zuo? !
…even a 7-year-old child was not spared!
And Conan, at such a young age, has already begun to help the evil. No wonder he always felt a creepy feeling when Conan paid attention to him before. Now it seems that the feeling was probably not an illusion, but that the child triggered the danger alarm of his body?
Subaru Okiya: "..." Thinking back, Conan's timing of mentioning "stage" seemed too coincidental. And after that conversation, he immediately saw "Miss Misa" in the corridor, as if Miss Misa had heard their conversation and rushed over in advance...
Subaru Okiya looked down at the land of London beneath his feet, and suddenly thought of the "Baker Street" located here. Then he inevitably thought of the famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.
——I heard that Sherlock Holmes has a "Baker Street Guerrilla" whose members are made up of homeless children on the street. They are responsible for helping him to gather information and, in a way, are his very capable assistants.
So... could it be that turning a child like Conan into a controlled puppet is just Uzo's way of showing off his evil taste to target the detective?
Subaru Okiya: “…” He was so naive before. Usa’s minions were already all around him, but he was completely unaware of it.
But Conan's expression just now didn't seem like he was pretending.
And if you think about it carefully, a cautious person like Uzo would never reveal his true identity to a child who is very accidental. So on the bright side, Conan may really not know about the organization, but was just manipulated by Uzo unintentionally.
For a moment, Okiya Subaru's heart was in turmoil, and he felt that every word of Usa was enough to make his heart rate soar. He regretted that he was not well prepared - before coming here, maybe he should have got some first aid medicine or something and carried it with him.
Ta, ta.
Uzo tapped his fingers twice on the armrest, as if to remind him that he was thinking too long.
Seeing that Okiya Subaru had come to his senses, he asked in a gentle voice, like a considerate boss: "It's simple, right? Can you do it?"
Okiya Subaru was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly.
Although he still felt very sorry for Jiang Xia, when he thought that there might already be more than one person like him around Jiang Xia, and that one more or one less person would not be able to stop Usa's unknown and terrible conspiracy, Okiya Subaru suppressed his conscience and reluctantly agreed.
Okiya Subaru: “…” And compared to the vague future, people will always pay more attention to the present time.
At that moment, he always felt that he and Mr. Akai were on the verge of death.
In comparison, although no one knows what earth-shattering conspiracy Wu Zuo will have in the future, at least for now, Jiang Xia’s life has not been affected at all. On the contrary, his career and mood are both booming.
Then looking at himself, who was threatened with murder every now and then, and who thought he was about to escape but actually collapsed tragically before dawn...Okiya Subaru even felt a strange sense of envy.
