Chapter 770: Collusion and seeking monthly tickets ( ` )
Okiya Subaru: "!!"
Thinking about the media's careless comments and the way Uzo completed the task, Okiya Subaru suddenly had some horrifying associations. He was accidentally tripped by the curbstone under his feet and stumbled two steps before he regained his balance.
In front, the mixed-race little girl next to Jiang Xia heard the noise and turned around to look at him in surprise.
When her eyes fell on Okiya Subaru's glasses, she seemed to think that this was normal for a nearsighted man who was driven crazy by his thesis. Haibara Ai turned her head back without much concern and continued on her way.
"Well... I'm a little worried about the gentleman just now. I always feel that he will act impulsively." Okiya Subaru made up an excuse and said to Jiang Xia like an enthusiastic passerby, "I can't help much in investigating the case, so why don't I go to his place to take a look... If you need any help, you can always come to me."
Jiang Xia nodded, grabbed the three naughty kids who wanted to run away with Okiya Subaru, and glanced at Okiya Subaru's back as he left.
...Just now, the new subordinate's expression was a little strange, and vaguely familiar.
Jiang Xia recalled carefully and found that Okiya Subaru's expression just now was not much different from the expression he had when he suddenly realized that "Usa was not a good person", as if he had discovered some great secret...
“…”
...This overthinking guy with glasses, I wonder if he is trying to expose his true identity.
Jiang Xia touched his chin, put himself in Okiya Subaru's perspective and thought about it, feeling that this was not an easy matter.
——First of all, unless Okiya Subaru or Akai Shuichi is promoted to the same position as Gin within a year, it is impossible to dig out the information that "Jiang Xia = Usa".
As for the connection between "Uzo" and "Jiangxia"...
There are so many coincidences in the world. It is not unreasonable for a genius to solve crimes and a mastermind to exist in Tokyo at the same time. In fact, it is quite reasonable in the eyes of the world. After all, where there is black, there is white; where there is light, there is darkness. Jiang Xia could be a stubborn detective who vaguely noticed the clues left by Wu Zuo, but had no solid evidence for the time being, so he had to investigate alone.
…Even if we dig deeper, “Uzo” is still to blame for everything.
For example, in order to improve the efficiency of his tasks, Wu Zuo deliberately provided clues to get the detectives involved... If you dig deeper, the most you can find out is that "Jiang Xia is Wu Zuo's subordinate, and usually the famous detective finds cases to solve and experiences life, and at critical moments he helps Wu Zuo solve a case and experiences his job."
Even this most superficial layer is not as easy to dig as it seems.
Even if Okiya Subaru or Akai Shuichi were really dug out, the FBI is not the police of the island country. They only have tourist visas and may be deported if they are not careful. In the absence of solid evidence and only relying on speculation, "Jiang Xia" and "Akai Shuichi + Okiya Subaru" are placed in front of the police at the same time. No matter how they think about it, the police here will catch the latter first.
…
Jiang Xia was lost in thought as he walked.
The only thing that makes people curious now is how much Shuichi Akai knows about "Jiang Xia".
——Jiangxia’s identity as an “outer member” is indeed no secret among some people.
But no matter how poor the confidentiality is, he is still a member of a mysterious organization, and no one has ever used a loudspeaker to announce it to the outside world.
Moreover, when Jiang Xia started to have contact with the Miyano sisters, Akai Shuichi had already left the organization and went to the United States. Normally, Akai Shuichi probably didn't have the time to pay attention to an outside employee. Even if Akai Shuichi was a little gossipy and learned this information, he would at most suspect that Jiang Xia and Usa had a little connection, so he returned to the previous speculation... huh?
...By the way, if Shuichi Akai thought that "Jiang Xia" was also Usa's subordinate, would he take the initiative to come to him?
After all, when comparing "Jiang Xia" and "Okiya Subaru", Okiya Subaru, who is "always a marginal member", and Jiangxia, who "is a bit marginal but is an hereditary member after all", no matter how you look at it, Jiangxia has more information and is more likely to be promoted.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but feel a little moved:
If Akai Shuichi was really so considerate, then he wouldn't have to drive a cat around the city with all the trouble of following Subaru Okiya - although the murderous aura consumed by the cat vest is negligible, if it is too far away from the main body, it will still consume a heartbreaking amount of food.
However, I am still moved.
Jiang Xia thought about Okiya Subaru's cautious and overthinking personality, and felt that he couldn't be too proactive. If he directly exposed his flaws to Okiya Subaru, it would be like fishing with a straight hook, which would easily lead to trouble.
To be safe, I have to be patient and take my time...
Regarding this matter, even if "Jiang Xia" one day drops the vest of "Wu Zuo's subordinate", he cannot stand on the same side as Wu Zuo. Instead, he should be a "righteous subordinate who was persecuted by Wu Zuo but was firmly opposed to Wu Zuo in his heart."
——Since it is the real body, of course you should lean towards the good side.
After all, although the Black side is full of murderous intent, the Red side can also pick up a lot of useful resources. The Red side does not exchange intelligence now, but it does not mean that they will never communicate with each other. When they can "have it all" by spending a little more effort, no one is willing to just do a single choice question.
Although Shuichi Akai is good at Jeet Kune Do, in modern society, hot weapons are still more preferred by the hackers.
What Jiang Xia wanted to see was Akai Shuichi, who would come to him face to face, so that he could be filled with murderous intent and put into a sack and carried away. He didn't want to face the silver bullet with a sniper rifle from a distance of several hundred yards.
…
Although Conan and Haibara Ai also felt that Okiya Subaru was a little strange, he seemed to be under a lot of pressure after all, and so far, there were relatively reasonable explanations for everything he said and did.
Therefore, once Okiya Subaru left, the two of them turned their attention away from him and didn't think much about it for the time being.
"I think we can't just listen to one side of the story. If there was solid evidence, the police would have searched Watanuki's yard a long time ago. And the current situation shows that Koda Masao lacks the corresponding evidence that 'the body was buried in Watanuki's yard'. Since there is no evidence..." Conan's heart was itching to investigate the case, "Why don't we try to look for it first?"
Huihara Ai recalled what Koda Masao said before they separated, and sighed: "From his attitude just now, I think he wants to cancel the commission. Should we continue with it?"
Jiang Xia followed her and sighed: "There's no way we can just ignore it."
"......?" Huiyuan Ai looked up at him suspiciously, thinking of Jiang Xia's leisurely and carefree personality, and suspected that there was something else going on. However, if Jiang Xia didn't want to say it, she'd better not ask in front of Conan... If she aroused Kudo Shinichi's curiosity, then it wouldn't be stopped by just a few words.
