Chapter 766 Gradually Uzo
As he said this, Subaru Okiya always felt as if a gloomy shadow appeared behind him.
A spooky shadow in black clothes and curly hair.
…
On the way to the destination with a group of children.
Okiya Subaru silently reviewed what had just happened.
…No matter how I think about it, I feel that I am a little suspicious.
"..." But the deadline is right in front of him. If he doesn't seize the weekend as an opportunity, he will have no place to find naughty kids to use as tools when school starts.
If the mission fails...
Subaru Okiya's mind flashed with Usa's smiling face, and he felt that if something like that really happened, he would not need to write a thesis, and it would be more practical to write a suicide note.
However, on second thought, the change of topic just now was actually quite natural.
And he is a graduate student with a thesis deadline approaching and under great pressure. It is not surprising that such a person would do anything. If you add the setting of "liking children", then it is not so abrupt that he took the initiative to take a few cute children to find a baseball field.
…Even if there were some minor doubts, the people he was facing were just a group of inexperienced children, not quick-thinking adults or detectives. It wasn't a big problem.
As Subaru Okiya was thinking, he looked down and found that among the five children, the child with glasses and a mixed-race little girl were looking up at him again.
When the two sides looked at each other, the little girl looked away coldly, perhaps because she was shy.
The little boy with glasses showed an innocent and pure smile, and seemed to have a good impression of the big brother who helped them find an open space.
Subaru Okiya returned the boy's smile and continued walking towards the burial site.
…
Conan did feel that Okiya Subaru was a little strange.
But there have always been many strange people around them - there were some adults who were very warm and friendly to the naughty kids. Some of them... did have some problems later, but the other part was indeed just innocent passers-by.
Therefore, during this period of time, Conan did not think much about it, but subconsciously paid more attention to Subaru Okiya.
…
Under the leadership of suspicious adults.
A group of people came to a construction site next to the home of Watanuki Yoshi.
The construction site is a huge rectangle, surrounded by tall iron sheets on all sides, which separate the site from the outside world.
Subaru Okiya walked half a circle around the iron wall and came to a gap in the corner.
The gap was where the wall turned, and two perpendicular iron sheets formed a right angle. Now, this right angle was knocked down, just enough for people to get into the construction site.
The three real kids curiously moved closer to the gap and looked inside. When they saw a wide, flat open space, they couldn't help but stare with joy: "Wow! That's great!"
Conan also took a closer look, but his eyes were focused on the nearby area - he found that the gap was very fresh and had some paint chips on it, as if a car had accidentally hit it and caused the gap.
Subaru Okiya introduced the five children in a gentle voice:
"This site was originally going to be used to build some townhouses, but later, I heard that there was a problem with the contract between the builder and the landowner, so the construction had to be temporarily shelved. It has been suspended for half a month now - I heard that it will take at least another week to resume. If you really have nowhere to go, you can come here to play. Of course, if the owner of the land comes, he must remember to apologize."
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
...These kids are already naughty enough, why is Subaru Okiya still teaching them in this direction?
She glanced at Okiya Subaru with a hint of suspicion. Speaking of which, the aura of this person always made her feel uncomfortable... Could it be because his squinty eyes made him look like a bad guy?
Haibara Ai's innate radar failed to detect members of the organization whose concentration was too low.
While analyzing the faint scent, three real kids had already happily run into the construction site.
Yoshida Ayumi found that Huihara Ai didn't come in, so she ran back to the gap and waved at her: "Little Ai, come and play!"
Kojima Genta and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko also pulled Conan in: "Let's go, let's go, while the owner of the construction site is not here yet, let's have fun early, otherwise when people come, we will have to look for a place again."
Subaru Okiya also used the excuse that "I'm under too much pressure due to my thesis, my mind is blank, and I just want to be with these cute kids to relieve stress" and did not leave, intending to follow them in.
——Bringing the naughty kid to this construction site is just the first step.
Next, he had to find a way to "inadvertently" bring the body back to light.
This gap in the corner is a bit narrow for adults.
Subaru Okiya stroked his chin, looked around for a long time, and finally looked up at both sides.
Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly climbed over the wall.
After landing, just as I stood firm, I saw a flash of light in my peripheral vision.
Subaru Okiya was startled, looked over alertly, and found that the flash was Conan's glasses.
When the little boy saw him looking at him, he smiled at him with an obedient smile.
Okiya Subaru: "..." This kid really likes staring at me, could it be...
Is it because both of them were wearing glasses that Conan felt a sense of familiarity with him?
...These days, there aren't many people who wear glasses in the first grade of primary school. And those who are different from others are often bullied by other children.
Speaking of which, just now when we were in the park, a baseball flew over and it was Conan who ran over to pick up the ball - if I remember correctly, in the children's baseball game, the outfield is the least popular position, and it is basically the caddy position.
Conan was confused about why Subaru Okiya insisted on following them.
As he was secretly observing, he suddenly felt a sinking sensation on his head - Subaru Okiya came over and touched his head encouragingly: "Myopia is very normal. It's a genetic factor. It's not your fault."
Then he walked away, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
Conan: "...Hmm?"
…
Although Okiya Subaru followed in, he did not join the children's game with the strength and speed of an adult. And there were enough people.
So he found a shady place to sit down, unfolded his computer, and continued typing away, managing his time very skillfully.
Having witnessed everything, Haibara Ai walked over to Conan's side. With her experience as a person who had been through this, she analyzed in a low voice the reason why Okiya Subaru was acting suspiciously: "——How pitiful, he must have been driven crazy by the thesis."
Then, without paying any more attention to the graduate student with dark circles under his eyes, he walked towards Ayumi Yoshida who was calling her.
Conan: “…”
Is the world of academia so scary?
…
When a group of kids started playing baseball against the clock.
Separated by a wall.
The taxi carrying passengers passed by the construction site and slowly stopped on the street in front of the house of Mitsuguchi Yoshi.
Soon, two guests got out of the car.
Jiang Xia raised his head and looked at the magnificent villa and the yard as big as half a playground in front of him. He couldn't help but glance at Masao Koda next to him. He felt that this man who planned to dig up his yard while Yoshikazu Watanuki was away was really a warrior with ideals.
