Corpse collector in Conan

The case was over and when we walked out of the building, it was completely dark.

Suzuki Yuanzi, Jiang Xia, Mao Lilan and Conan stood on the street, waiting for the driver to pick them up.

Opposite is the newly built "Nishitama City Twin Towers". Although it has not been officially opened to the public, it has now entered the trial opening stage. Warm lights are lit in the corridor, drawing a bright boundary for the building in the night.

Suzuki Sonoko looked up at the spectacular twin buildings. While feeling emotional, she suddenly had bad memories.

——She recalled the photos of what she would look like "ten years from now" that were spit out from the "foreign appearance prediction machine" when she visited the building a few days ago.

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Damn it, her face has not changed much, but because she was given a "same hairstyle as Tokiwa Mio" by a machine, ten years later, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly changed from her original "mature and sexy" one. "Sister" turned into a strict and mean aunt...

Suzuki Sonoko crossed her arms and snorted in her heart: Fortunately, she covered the photo tightly at that time. Except for the naughty kid who looked like a triangular rice ball, no one else had seen that photo. , no, Black Future.

After that, she immediately destroyed the "photos taken ten years later".

But even so, when thinking about this matter, Suzuki Sonoko was still quite concerned.

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Speaking of which, I really don't seem to care much about dressing up these years - even Mr. Uemori, who has already gone to heaven...or hell, knows that he needs to have his hair styled before attending the banquet. , but I am often too lazy to deal with it.

I did catch a glimpse of a few handsome guys at the flower arrangement dinner just now, but no one came to talk to me...

Suzuki Sonoko was thinking about it, looking at the dark billboard on the side of the road, looking at the reflection left and right, thinking to herself: in a few days, when attending the opening ceremony of the Twin Towers, she must hold the most beautiful hair on her head. Come with a nice hair style.

"..." However, what kind of hairstyle looks better?

Suzuki Sonoko, who has only had one hairstyle since she was a child, couldn't help but look solemnly and fell into deep thought.

…

the other side.

Okiya Subaru did not go with several high school students, but went to the station.

Although he usually travels by car, today, he went out to investigate the situation secretly. Okiya Subaru always feels that compared to driving, traveling by public transportation is less likely to attract the attention of some people - if I remember correctly, Uzo has seen his car before.

"..." Of course, now it seems that this measure has no effect at all. As long as a person is unlucky enough, no matter how hard he hides, he will suddenly encounter Uzo when he goes out...

Okiya Subaru sighed quietly, got on the train, and returned to his apartment.

…

After getting off the bus at the station and getting away from the dangerous air in Nishitama City, Subaru Okiya grabbed the pocket of his windbreaker and walked home, planning to go to a nearby tavern for a drink later to relax his tense mood today. .

But before he entered the store, his phone vibrated and he received a message.

Okiya Subaru took out his phone and unlocked the screen.

There are only a few words in the newly arrived email. But when it fell into Okiya Subaru's eyes, it was nothing more than a thunderclap——

[You are being followed]

Okiya Subaru: "!!!"

...He knew this email address, it belonged to Shuichi Akai.

Although Subaru Okiya himself did not realize that he was being followed at all, he did not doubt the authenticity of the news at all.

——Someone must be following you.

...Who is it? What's that person's purpose?

…

The cold and lonely streets, the people following behind with unknown purpose...

The only thing that can make Subaru Okiya feel relieved is that since Shuichi Akai has discovered that someone is following him, the FBI ace must also be nearby.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Thigh! Take me! !

He did not enter the tavern he often went to, but passed by. At the same time, he carefully typed a reply: "What should I do now?" ]

Akai Shuichi seemed to be thinking too.

After a while, the message was sent again.

Okiya Subaru opened it expectantly and glanced at it.

Mr. Akai gave his valuable advice:

[Go home directly and lock the door]

"..."

It seems that he guessed Subaru Okiya's thoughts after seeing the email. Later, Shuichi Akai added one more sentence:

[Don’t worry about revealing your address. Anyway, you have never hidden it deliberately. If the person following you wants to find out, he will find out sooner or later. ]

"..."

Okiya Subaru was silent for a moment.

But then I thought about it, outside, Shuichi Akai, who was wanted by the FBI, could not help.

But if you are indoors and the person following you suddenly invades your home, Shuichi Akai, who is hiding nearby, will definitely be able to outflank and capture the person directly.

In addition, Subaru Okiya also has a little calculation: in this case, once "Subaru Okiya" exposes the connection between himself and Shuichi Akai, then he doesn't have to wait any longer - he can leave directly In this country with endless criminals to catch, fly to a safe place.

…

Thinking this, Okiya Subaru no longer hesitated.

He put away his cell phone, followed Akai Shuichi's suggestion, and walked to his home at a natural pace.

During this period, Subaru Okiya gradually realized something else.

As early as when he first became Usa's subordinate, Okiya Subaru was asked to meet once by this capricious boss.

After that, he quickly gave Akai Shuichi his boss’s recognizable appearance of “suit, sunglasses + natural curls”, as well as rumors and personality.

And now, judging from Akai Shuichi's tone in the second half of his sentence, it seems that the stalker is not Uzo.

In this case……

After crossing out Uzo, another figure soon appeared in Okiya Subaru's mind.

——The blond and dark-skinned man, who is suspected to be a senior subordinate of Uzo, is responsible for escorting Jiang Xia to the "Amuro Detective Agency" near the crime scene.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Why is this person following me?

...could it be the legendary workplace struggle?

Subaru Okiya checked his mailbox carefully while muttering to himself.

Finding that there was no message from Uzo, he had no choice but to sigh and decided to wait and see what happened.

As for asking Uzo directly...

This option was immediately eliminated by Subaru Okiya after he escaped the danger of being "searched".

——He didn’t want to attract Uzo’s attention in any way.

And Subaru Okiya knew in his heart: all the current situations were just his speculations without any evidence.

If he guesses wrong, Uzo, who was originally not interested in this matter, may suddenly become very interested and come to get involved.

And if the guess is correct, if Uzo hates his subordinates for randomly guessing things related to him, and then decides to clean up the house...

Okiya Subaru shook his head in the cool breeze, shaking off the messy thoughts. Walk steadily towards your home.
