Conan’s Corpse Picker

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuki were stunned at the same time. They never expected that such a thing would suddenly happen.

The two saw Jiang Xia subconsciously reaching out to pull Kuroe Nao.

The two hands overlapped for a moment, but the woman's sprinting speed was too fast. The two hands that tried their best to hook together finally staggered. Kuroe Nao let out a dying scream and fell against the dead tree below.

Hattori Heiji had both hands occupied and had no time to pull. Toyama Kazuha was half a beat too slow to react, and by the time he reached out his hand, it was already too late.

She subconsciously continued to stretch her hand towards Nao Kuroe, her pupils narrowed, and she had already thought of the bloody scene that would follow.

At this moment, she heard Hattori Heiji's anxious voice coming from above: "Be careful!"

Yuan Shan and Ye Sui raised their heads and saw that Jiang Xia seemed to have lost his balance because of his actions to save people. Just as the stone at his feet came loose, Jiang Xia's feet slipped and rolled down the cliff...

Then, under the eyes of two classmates with trembling eyes, he bumped into a tree in a thrilling way, barely avoiding following in the footsteps of Kuroe Nao.

Jiang Xia pretended to calm down for a moment, then sat up as if in pain.

He secretly touched the innocent tree trunk under him, which had suffered too much, secretly added a little puppet clay, and continued to strengthen it - let alone adding him at this time, even if five or six big men were added, the tree would still be strong. Stand firm.

Jiang Xia rolled down on his own.

If you stay up there and put yourself in an overly active position, it seems that there will be a lot of trouble - who is chasing Kuroe Nao, why don't you continue to chase, why don't you come to silence, should he follow over and see... These must be taken into consideration.

In addition, when Hattori Heiji escapes from danger later and his detective heart is revived, how much information Jiangxia will provide them is also a question. It was too detailed and false at that time. It was even more false to say that I didn't see anything...

Although Hattori Heiji, suppressed by the power of spoilers, looks like an elderly detective who solves crimes slowly, in fact, his reasoning ability and ability to observe and associate cannot be underestimated, especially his intuition seems to be very accurate... Jiang Xia I always felt that if he stayed up there unscathed after this incident and couldn't provide any information, he might be linked to the murder just because of the coincidence of his appearance.

If the relationship with the detectives becomes rigid, it will be much more difficult to enjoy the case in the future...

So he might as well slide down and stay for a while - it's not that he doesn't want to explore, or that he doesn't want to chase the murderer, it's just that he accidentally fell off the cliff and got stuck in a tree, unable to move.

Of course people still need to be saved, but they have to be handed over to the vest.

Jiang Xia first glanced at the two people hanging on the tree, then stretched out his hand to pull them to the trunk.

At the same time, he lowered his eyes and said, "...I'm sorry."

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha didn't mean to blame him at all - Jiangxia himself almost fell into a piece of meat pie, and...

They glanced at Kuroe Nao, who fell to death on the stone river bank below, and died in a miserable state, and felt sad. Then I thought about it - even they would feel this way, let alone Jiangxia who was almost able to hold Nao Kuroe back...

On the tree trunk, the puppet clay used for reinforcement was dyed a little color by Jiang Xia, like exposed fibers, making it difficult to see abnormalities.

After Hattori Heiji pulled them up the tree trunk, he glanced at Jiang Xia, who had been sitting aside in unusual silence. He patted the wood under him and tried to change the topic: "This tree is quite strong."

Jiang Xia didn't say anything, didn't even raise his eyes, he still had the familiar out-of-body look. The death of Kuroe Nao seemed to have dealt a big blow to him.

Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia sympathetically, and adjusted his baseball cap again. He was a little at a loss for words and didn't know how to comfort him.

In the end, Hattori Heiji could only look at the smooth stone wall two or three meters high above, intending to relieve the three of them from their current dangerous state - although he didn't know why the tree under him suddenly became so vigorous, and looked like it could last until the end of time. , but they can't always hang on the cliff.

Yuan Shan and Ye took out their cell phones with one hand and tried to dial. The other hand stroked Jiang Xia's back rhythmically like a cat. They didn't know whether they wanted Jiang Xia to recover from this bad mental state or whether Unconsciously relieve yourself from stress.

However, there have been heavy storms in the past few days, and the signal on the island has been poor. Yuan Shan and Ye's distress call could not be dialed.

Hattori Heiji studied the cliff for a long time, and finally looked at Jiang Xia, wanting to ask Jiang Xia if he could stack a ladder with him and try to climb to the top.

But at this moment, there was a rustling sound of cloth rubbing against the grass on the cliff.

Immediately afterwards, someone poked his head out from above and looked down.

Alarm bells blared in the minds of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha for a moment - they had not forgotten that when Nao Kuroe rushed over just now, she shouted "Help!", which means that there is someone on the cliff who can make her panic and choose her way out. Risk factors for running around.

At first, Hattori Heiji thought that it would be the murderer of Nami Umihara.

Later, after Jiang Xia fell, he glanced at the top of the cliff warily and saw no one, so he thought it might be some kind of ferocious beast.

But now...

The person who poked her head out was not a green-faced, fanged beast or monster, but a beautiful woman.

The woman wore a black wide-brimmed hat, her long hair was loose, and there was a strange tattoo under her right eye. From this angle, she looked... a bit like an innocent soul who came to seek her life.

Yuan Shan and Ye shuddered and almost fell from the tree trunk.

Hattori Heiji was also surprised, but he quickly recognized it: "Anonymous!?"

How could this person who was active in the newspaper appear here? Was she the one who chased Nao Kuroe just now? What does she have to do with the legend here?

Hattori Heiji had a lot of questions to ask.

But thinking about the current situation of the three of them, he still didn't say anything in the end - there were a lot of gravel on the cliff. If the mysterious figure on the top of the cliff was angered and she picked up a few pieces and smashed them down, she would be in trouble. …

Under the nervous gazes of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Anonymous leaned over and looked at the cliff.

Then she straightened up and disappeared from the sight of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

Not long after, a rough hemp rope was thrown down along the cliff. The length just hung in front of the tree, and the other end was tied somewhere.

Hattori Heiji tugged on the rope in surprise, and it felt quite strong. He was confused for a moment, and Anonymous came to save people? And such good things?

Jiang Xia drives the anonymous puppet. After throwing down the rope, he took a few steps into the woods.

Anonymous disappeared quietly.
