Conan’s Corpse Picker

After thinking about how to effectively eliminate the signs of death, Jiang Xia returned to the hall, skillfully found a sofa and sat down, and then let the shikigami and ghosts pass through the wall, piled up like clay, and condensed into a puppet in the woods.

This time, he chose the foggy dog.

Although it was decided to cut the bridge, this time it involved a river ditch. To be on the safe side, we had to choose one that could fly.

It was getting late, and the puppet took shape in the shadow of the branches and flew close to the ground towards the bridge without leaving any footprints on the snow.

…

Kidd was admiring the snow scene by the window at this time.

That's what he said, but in fact, he was just using the reflection on the window to observe Jiang Xia.

According to his father's "last words", magicians do not perform unprepared performances, and Jiang Xia is an unplanned figure and has enough ability to influence him, so he must be observed more.

However, Jiang Xia didn't do anything. After coming back from the room, she kept leaning on the sofa quietly.

Instead, in the woods outside the window, a figure suddenly flashed past.

Kidd was startled, and his attention was instantly withdrawn from the reflective fictional scene and plunged into the forest.

At this time, there were no strange things in sight.

But Kidd thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more serious his expression became: According to his recollection, the passing shadow he saw just now was flying in the air. Combined with the general body shape and the pair of wings that are suddenly flapping behind the back...

Dog in the fog? !

Kidd had a headache... When the foggy dog ​​took away the billiard cue last time, he clearly said that he was not here to steal anything this time. Could it be that Wutiangu was worried about being deceived by the monster thief, so he wanted to come over to see the situation in person?

Ha, this is an insult to the character of the Phantom Thief. He is a model Phantom Thief who doesn't lie... at least he doesn't lie in the trailer... Well, even if he did, it's because the plan couldn't keep up with the changes...

Kidd thought a lot in his mind, but in the end he still couldn't let go.

The way Wutian Dog was flying at low altitude in the forest just now made him look like he was hunting close to the ground. And he remembered that there was still someone at the party who had not arrived. If that person was unlucky and met Wutian Dog on the way here, it would be nothing. The thought monster grabbed him and took him away...

With this in mind, Kidd found an excuse to go back to the room and hurriedly used the hang glider to enter the woods. He wanted to communicate with the foggy dog ​​first and ask why it came to the vicinity of the villa.

However, after walking around the villa, there was no one around at all.

Kidd was slightly confused. The foggy dog ​​just left like that? Did it just come to patrol and monitor?

If you think about it this way, it actually makes some sense. After all, according to his investigation, Shanni Temple is on the other side of the mountain.

In other words, this place can be regarded as the hometown of Wutian Dog. With so many people suddenly coming to the house, it is normal for it to want to come and have a look...

Kidd wrapped himself in a hang glider and struggled for a moment in the woods where the cold wind was howling, and finally decided to take a look at the situation along the road leading from here to the suspension bridge.

If not found, it means that the foggy dog ​​may have finished its patrol and left.

In this way, he can return to the villa with peace of mind and continue to focus on his own affairs...

…

Jiang Xia drove the puppet and jumped from the tree. After a while to identify the direction in the woods, she quickly found the right path and flew all the way to the suspension bridge.

He didn't fly too high, but used trees to cover his figure in case anyone who was bored looked out and saw something strange in the moonlight.

The bridge was already on fire.

Jiang Xia landed on the bridge, broke the suspension rope several times, and the burning suspension bridge suddenly fell. There are only bare cliffs and rivers covered with thin ice below, so there is no need to worry about them causing forest fires.

Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at the results, hiding his skills and reputation and planning to dismantle the puppet and return to his true form.

But at this moment, he heard a roaring engine sound, and a car seemed to be rushing here along the mountain road on the opposite side.

It should be that Conan and Mouri Kogoro are back... Thinking this, Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and did not return immediately. Instead, he hid behind a tree to conduct a final review of the fruits of his labor.

Within a few seconds, the car that had been driven like a sports car appeared on the other side of the bridge, rolling up a cloud of snow foam and mud and stopping.

The driver's and passenger's doors opened at the same time, and two figures, one large and one small, jumped out of the car, and then rushed to the edge of the cliff simultaneously, where they saw the completely broken suspension bridge.

The same message flashed through Conan and Mouri Kogoro's minds instantly - something happened! Judging from the direction of the break of the suspension bridge, the murderer must be in the villa on the other side, and is planning to commit a serial murder!

Mouri Kogoro looked at the cliff more than ten meters wide, frowning and dialing anxiously.

However, he soon put down his cell phone again - there was no signal here, so he had to walk a little further outside to make a call.

Mouri Kogoro waved to Conan: "Go back to the car!" and then hurried to his car.

Conan stopped staring at the cliff ahead and glanced back, as if he was looking at Mouri Kogoro's car.

...This should be the plan to go back. Jiang Xia watched secretly from behind the tree, feeling gratified that her efforts had paid off.

He retracted his head that was sticking out a little, and was about to return to his original body and warm himself leisurely by the fire in the warm villa.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a very strange sound, as if something was being stretched continuously, and was about to be stretched to the limit.

Jiang Xia was startled, stopped what he was thinking, and stuck his head out again.

On the other side of the bridge, Conan took advantage of Mouri Kogoro's back to him and tied the two ends of the magical telescopic strap given by the doctor to two trees.

He leaned in the middle of the strap, and then used the power of the foot-strengthening shoes to keep pressing the strap backwards, like a projectile trying to launch himself with a slingshot.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Jiang Xia: "…………"

...nb

…

Conan took a few steps back to his extreme position.

Then when Mouri Kogoro finally discovered the scene here and asked in shock, "What are you doing?!", he suddenly let go of his feet and flew out in a whoosh.

The moment it flew off, he immediately judged based on the angle and speed of his launch that this wave could work!

Conan's lips curved into a steady smile.

The next second, the smile suddenly solidified - he found that if he continued like this, he would have no problem flying to the other side. He could not only cross the river ditch, but also fly a few meters further, but the problem was... on his route. There is a tree!

Conan fluttered hard, trying to change the landing direction, and stepped on the tree trunk with his feet for cushioning, but he couldn't turn around at all. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and protect his head.

However, just as he was about to hit a pillar and be crippled, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. Someone pressed on his shoulder, giving him a precious buffer, and then rushed to stop him completely before hitting the tree. Down.

Even so, Conan's head, which was being attacked by a severe cold, was still dizzy. He shook his head and opened his eyes. Just as he was about to say thank you, he tentatively mentioned the murder to this person who, judging from his appearance, might be a party attendee.

However, just as his vision became clear, he was startled by the pair of golden eyes that glowed in the dark forest.
