Chapter 3207 Chapter 3219 [Arrest]
Jiang Xia silently suppressed what he shouldn't have said, looked at the barrister who was surrounded by the murderous aura of others, and made up an excuse to agree to the invitation:
"A man like him would not be emotional even if his friend was killed - he threatened to take on this case, perhaps for other reasons."
Hearing what he said, Conan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. He glanced at Lawyer Tachibana who was walking away and lowered his voice: "You mean, he did this probably because his dead friend had some secrets that could not be discovered?"
Jiang Xia hummed: "As long as we hold him back and make him worry about this matter, he should have no time to do unnecessary things."
Conan nodded at first, but suddenly, his conscience ached: "Although the old hunter has his reasons, if we do this, isn't it..."
Jiang Xia: "This is just to prevent that well-connected lawyer from using some off-court factors to influence the verdict."
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko had no qualms about this action. She quickly entered into her new role and whispered stealthily, "Let me, the righteous undercover, expose the numerous crimes of that lawyer! - I want to see if he still has time to deal with that unlucky old hunter after I get into trouble!"
Curacao suddenly sensed something and turned around, he saw Uzo and the people beside him standing in the dim woods, all staring at this side.
The ghost figures standing side by side in the forest made Curacao's hair stand on end and he got goose bumps again.
——When she thought of Bourbon's unwillingness to suffer and his insistence on taking Uzo out for a stroll, she had often laughed at this pathetic fellow.
But now, in a similar situation, Curacao found himself somewhat unable to laugh.
...Why is that person like a real ghost? Once you get involved, you can never get rid of him?
…
What happened in the afternoon was despairing enough.
Not long after, Curacao discovered that something even worse was happening.
——That lawyer Ju seemed eager to get closer to Jiang Xia, and after calling the hotel where Jiang Xia was staying and finding out there was a room available, he actually moved here with his group, planning to meet up with Jiang Xia the next morning and go to his suburban villa together.
"Is this guy afraid that Jiang Xia will change his mind and run away?" Curacao looked at the funny scene of a rabbit chasing a fox, his eyes twitching slightly. For a moment, he doubted whether the shrewd lawyer Ju in the information was the guy in front of him.
But things had come to this point, and as a young lawyer planning to join the other side, she could only hold her nose and move in with them.
…
"We are only a few walls away from Uzo. Why on earth did things turn out like this..."
Late at night, Curacao stood on the observation deck on the second floor, leaning on the railing, looking at the brilliant starry sky in the distance, and sighed heavily.
On the way here, there were countless moments when she wanted to abandon the stupid lawyer who took the initiative to invite Uzo, just walk away, and try to see if she could escape this maddening series of "encounters", but...
"Although every time I met Wuzo in the past, he would kill my mission targets and would 'thoughtfully' help me complete various tasks...but who can guarantee that he will still do the same after I leave this time?"
"When Rum asks me about this, should I just say, 'Uzo will help me get the job done, so I left to avoid him'?"
...Based on her understanding of the dictatorial one-eyed man, whether it is the first half or the second half, it would probably cause Rum to become furious.
And if the second-in-command of the organization felt that she was not only derelict in her duty, but also not loyal enough to her superiors' orders...
"I can't leave." Curacao pressed his forehead tiredly, forced to accept this reality. "If I really leave, I will fall into Uzo's trap. I am an adult who has worked for many years. I can't step into this crude trap that could have been avoided."
However, simply avoiding it will only make the situation worse.
After thinking for a moment, Curacao suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up.
“I remember Uzo threatening me in the woods before by swinging a silver pistol around.”
"If I'm not mistaken, his current mission should be to maintain his identity as a detective, gradually infiltrate the upper class, and build enough connections... and this long-term mission obviously does not include illegal activities such as 'possessing guns'."
"Gin actually turned a blind eye to such dangerous behavior. We can't count on him. Why not give it to Rum? That greedy one-eyed lizard has long regarded Uzo as his subordinate. Now that he knows that his 'future subordinate' is doing something illegal, he will definitely not turn a blind eye."
Thinking of this, Curacao took out his mobile phone and opened his email.
However, before sending the message, she suddenly thought of something and paused.
"But...what if Rum takes care of this matter as I wish, and the way he intervenes is to do something to Uzo through me?"
Personally interfering with Uzo's hobbies, greatly offending this dangerous guy...
Curacao was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have dug a hole for himself without realizing it.
"Is this the effect that Wu Zuo has had on me after spending so much time with him?" A trace of sweat dripped down the forehead of an innocent cadre, and he sighed softly, "It's really scary."
"But as an intelligence officer, I have the information that Uzo was illegally carrying a gun, but I can't use it... This is really uncomfortable."
"Where does it hurt?"
A voice came from behind, and at the same time, there was a click behind the head, and something cold was pressed against it.
"?!" Curacao was shocked. The familiar voice that was engraved into his DNA was scary enough. But what was even more terrifying was what happened to him at that moment - was it that Uzo's stealth ability was too strong, or was he too careless, so careless that he allowed someone to slip up behind him?
Curacao was sweating again. She slowly raised her hands, feeling annoyed: the long-term high-intensity mental tension had weakened her vigilance to this extent...
While quickly thinking about the chances of Uzo shooting, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you plan this a long time ago?"
Jiang Xia: “……?”
What am I planning? I don't know.
He looked at Curacao's back and sighed: This colleague's mental state seems to be unhealthy, like the kind of person who is suspicious of everything after watching a horror movie, and who gets scared to death by the mirror when he looks up after washing his face... Is he too tired from working non-stop recently? Rum is really merciless in squeezing his subordinates.
