The Corpse Collector In Conan: One thousand six hundred and forty-three [little brother wants to kill me]

"You can call me George."

Hashimoto Maya casually picked up a pseudonym that sounded more like a foreigner: "When I came to ask for an autograph just now, I always felt that you looked very familiar. After I went back, I suddenly remembered—I was on a Japanese detective show. Saw you. I heard you're a very famous detective, that's cool, can you sign me too?"

Jiang Xia: "..." The new boy is good at everything, but he has a weird tone of voice, which is obviously not the case when he talks to Ireland... Forget it, the problem is not big. Thinking about it the other way around, he speaks strangely It's a good point, so if you meet an impatient and irascible brother, you might be able to squeeze some murderous energy.

...Thinking about it this way, the new little brother is working hard.

Jiang Xia immediately became more pleasing to the eye when he saw Maya Hashimoto. He casually played with the new murderous spirit he had just obtained, and tolerantly forgave this little brother: "Of course, but I'm not used to using a signature board. Can a business card be okay?"

As he spoke, he took out a business card, signed his name, and handed it over.

Hashimoto Maya took the business card with a smile, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: In his impression, he had just seen the exact same thing in Ireland - how much does this detective like to give out business cards to people.

...And if I remember correctly, not long after Mr. Ireland received his business card, he was unfortunately attacked and lay dead on the street. This thing must not be stained with bad luck or something.

Although he really wanted to throw this business card out of the cabin immediately, his good professionalism allowed Hashimoto Maya to restrain all expressions of disgust.

He looked at the business card appreciatively, and put it away politely.

Then his expression became a little more serious, he lowered his voice, and got to the point: "Actually, I have a commission I want to find you——I recently encountered some very serious accidents that endangered my life. I was still thinking about what to do. How to do it, I didn’t expect to meet you, maybe this is God guiding me to the way of life.”

Jiang Xia tried hard to adapt to his strange tone: "What accident? If I can help, I will do my best."

Hashimoto Maya showed a embarrassed expression: "I don't know how to describe it. Specifically, I have been involved in some murders recently-it is clear that the murderer is not me, and the victim is not me. I just pass by. But they are always forced to face some danger to their lives.

"Afterwards, both the police and the people around me told me that it was just an accident, but I didn't think that was the case—I always felt that I was being watched by someone, but I couldn't find the mastermind behind it at all. traces."

When he said these words, he looked at Jiang Xia carefully, not letting go of the slightest expression on the detective's face.

Then Jiang Xia thought about it for a moment, and said: "There are many possibilities, first of all, let's rule it out—you don't have any mental illness, such as persecution paranoia."

"..." Hashimoto Maya, "Of course not, I am very healthy physically and mentally. And this is by no means a 'delusion', I was really injured because of those cases. The injury must be more serious, and he may even die on the spot."

Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully, her expression finally became serious.

He looked around and lowered his voice: "Actually, you are not alone. I have noticed similar phenomena and have been investigating. It's just a pity that I haven't found too many effective clues yet."

"Isn't it an example?" Hashimoto Maya didn't expect that such a test would yield such important information, and he hurriedly asked, "Who else was...cough, who else encountered the same thing?" ? Can I meet them?"

Jiang Xia shook her head.

Hashimoto Maya refused to give up, and wanted to pry out Uzo's information from those people as soon as possible: "I know that you private detectives have the obligation to keep your clients confidential, but only if we victims unite, can we improve the current situation." situation. You can discuss it with them, and I think they will definitely be willing to see me."

"No, they won't. And I don't recommend you to look for it." Jiang Xia looked a little embarrassed, "To be honest, they... are no longer alive."

"???"

Hashimoto Maya raised her head in shock, and was stunned for a moment when she met the young detective's half guilty, half pity eyes.

It's careless, it should have been thought of earlier: How long can the people targeted by Wu Zuo live in total?

Despair gradually surged in his heart: Could it be that my fate is also...

Hashimoto Maya: "..." Huh? No, it's too dramatic. It's not me who is currently being targeted by Uzo, but Mr. Ireland!

In just a few minutes, Hashimoto Maya was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs in mood.

Jiang Xia looked at the lazy boy who was no longer murderous: "You have also seen that I may not be able to help you with these matters. Are you sure you want to entrust me?"

"Of course." Maya Hashimoto came back to his senses, "It's not convenient on the plane. When we get to Japan, let's make an appointment and tell about my experience slowly?"

"Yes." Jiang Xia smiled, "But when the time comes, I need to interview the client—I mean the client who has experienced countless murders. What you said is not your own story."

Hashimoto Maya's fingers trembled violently.

...He was so deep in his substitutions that even he believed it. Where did this detective see the flaw? !

"I, cough, that..."

Hashimoto Maya originally wanted to be tough.

But raising his head and meeting the detective's quiet eyes, he suddenly realized that the acting skills he was so proud of seemed to be just a thin layer of paper in Jiang Xia's eyes, too shallow to be worth mentioning.

When searching for information about Jiang Xia before~IndoMTL.com~Hashimoto Maya glanced over those touted words such as "quickly solve the case" and "new age Sherlock Holmes". , is wasting the reader's time.

But now sitting face to face, he felt the weight of those words for the first time. That is by no means a simple compliment, but a medal piled up by criminals with blood and tears.

This young detective's current reputation is not due to the praise of the media, the favor of the rich woman, nor any face or luck——Jiang Xia only needs to rely on his meticulous insight to make all lies invincible. hide everywhere.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." No wonder people in the organization don't like to contact detectives. Before, he thought that this was just some kind of spiritual tradition of "no balance between good and evil", but now it seems that this may be the precious experience that the predecessors have paved the way for generations with their lives.

Cold sweat broke out on his back at some point, and he regretted sitting next to Jiang Xia.

But it's too late to regret it - the only good thing is that Jiang Xia is an unarmed and good citizen. Such a person has a natural disadvantage when facing organization members who trample on social rules.
