Conan’s Corpse Picker

After settling down temporarily, Jiang Xia walked over and closed the door.

He turned around and glanced at the many murderous spirits trapped in the room, feeling that this simple hut had become very livable.

Mao Lilan was still thinking about calling the police.

There was no signal on her cell phone, so she walked to the landline in the cabin.

However, soon, Mao Lilan's anxious voice sounded: "The phone can't be reached."

"Thunderstorms often happen like this." The manager snorted, "You shouldn't go hiking during thunderstorms."

Etsuko Tokura sat at the table, quietly looking at the thunderstorm outside the window, and said in a vague tone: "After dark, the mountains will be very dangerous, coupled with the slippery rain and lightning that may strike at any time, there is no other rest nearby. Station... this is the Blizzard Villa mode. When I go back, I may be able to write a new book soon."

The man in the couple twisted his wet hat anxiously:

"You still care about studying? There is a murderer hiding in the mountains right now who forces people to jump off a cliff. Who knows if the murderer will suddenly break in in the middle of the night, and then we will have another dead person!"

Jiang Xia crossed his arms and leaned against the door. When he heard this, he corrected him strictly: "The college student is not dead, so there is no need to use the word 'Zai'."

The couple was startled and then said angrily: "That's not the point! The point is that the prisoner is still active!"

"Okay, let's eat first." The administrator brought a pot of hot water with several packets of instant curry soaked in it. "Even though this house looks dilapidated, the doors and windows are actually very strong."

"..."

It suddenly rained while climbing the mountain, and a murder almost occurred. The group of soup chickens were not in the mood to eat at this time.

But I'm really hungry...

So in the end, we all sat down around the dining table.

Jiang Xia washed her hands, poured the slightly hot curry on the rice, and took a spoonful.

Just as he pulled off the mask, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "I have indeed seen you."

"?"

Jiang Xia turned around and saw Etsuko Tokura's smiling face.

"You are Jiang Xia, right? The young detective who solves cases quickly." Etsuko Tokura stirred the curry on her plate, "Not long ago I wanted to go to Tokyo to find you, but I didn't expect that I happened to meet..."

The tips of Mao Lilan's ears twitched, and entries such as "Abandoned by a lover chasing a husband thousands of miles away" instantly appeared in her mind, and she looked shocked - she had recently been dragged by Suzuki Sonoko to watch a lot of bloody soap operas.

However, when she turned around and saw Jiang Xia's confused look, Mao Lilan suppressed the idea with a slight guilt.

...Compared with this, she felt that a more suitable term would be something like "girl crush"... Ms. Tokura's wording was too close. At this time, shouldn't she say "I want to go to Tokyo to find you" Is it more accurate to say "release commission" or something like that?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a clang next to him - a metal spoon fell to the ground.

The others were startled and looked around, seeing Kyoko Saegashi, the woman in the couple, who looked panicked.

She stared at Jiang Xia for a moment, then realized that a group of people were looking at her. Then she came to her senses, picked up the spoon in a hurry, and ran to the sink to wash it.

The man in the couple also froze slightly. After a second or two, he lowered his head in a disguised manner and took a big mouthful of curry.

"..." Such a big reaction to Jiang Xia's name?

Conan and Tohru Amuro took another look at the couple, and thought of their two smelly bags again, and were secretly wary.

Etsuko Tokura also looked here and paused the topic just now.

The manager ignored this group of strange guests. He turned on the radio and listened to the news while eating like most old people.

A local weather program was playing on the radio, mentioning the sudden heavy rain.

In the middle of the conversation, another local news was urgently interrupted——

"This morning, a burglary and murder occurred in Danyuan Village. Sixty-year-old Mr. Yan Zhong was unfortunately killed. The suspect may have fled towards Danyuan Mountain. The police are currently continuing to search. Please close the doors and windows tightly and pay attention to safety."

"Danyuan Mountain?"

Toru Amuro was startled, isn't that the mountain?

…Except for some Buddhist tourists who only walked at the foot of the mountain, all the people who came to climb today were in this resting hut.

Silver fox, home invasion suspect...at least two people.

If they are all pretending to be tourists, then add in the suspicious client, Etsuko Tokura who seems to have something to do with Jiangxia, and two members of the black organization...

Is the concentration of criminals in this hut too high?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia and remembered the term "incident constitution".

Then he remembered something and looked at Conan.

In my impression, this child was actually present many times when they encountered cases. Just because the sense of existence is very low, few people pay attention to it.

I often turn my attention away from him unconsciously.

...It seems that we need to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

…

Although looking at the bright side, the silver fox and the robber may not be disguised as tourists, but may also be hiding in the mountains.

But in such a dangerous place, you still have to be careful - before going to bed, Toru Amuro had a low-key discussion with Jiang Xia, and the two took turns to keep watch.

Toru Amuro was responsible for watching the first half of the night.

Maybe when he got serious, some indescribable temperament in him had a strong suppressive power on criminals, so nothing happened in the first half of the night.

In the early morning, Jiang Xia got up and exchanged positions with her nominal boss.

He sat down against the wall and glanced at several beddings that kept showing a murderous look.

"..."

So tempting.

…

After Amuro Toru fell asleep, Jiang Xia yawned, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and the time he spent opening his eyes became shorter and shorter.

Finally he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

When Jiang Xia was awake just now, she would occasionally turn her head to check or click on her phone, and there would often be rustling sounds from her clothes.

Now those scattered voices gradually ceased. Soon, those who were interested realized that something was wrong.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes opened faintly, looking towards where Jiang Xia was.

After waiting patiently for more than ten minutes, I found that there was still no movement on Jiang Xia's side. It seemed that he had really fallen asleep. After a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light.

Jiang Xia's speed in solving crimes really scares those who know him. What's more, on the road just now, the detective paid a lot of attention to the people around him. If this continues, his crimes will be exposed sooner or later.

How about now, while Jiang Xia is sleeping...

The swarthy figure crawled out from under the quilt while holding his breath.

He pulled out the knife from his boot and turned on the screen of his phone, illuminating it with weak light. Then, matching the sound of the howling mountain wind, it silently approached Jiangxia.

Four steps, three steps, two steps...

As the distance narrowed, the dark figure looked at the sleeping young man in front of him, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

He raised the knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and showed a cruel smile.

Everything is going smooth.

But for some reason, when he took the last step and won, he always felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning passed through the window.

Light far more dazzling than a mobile phone screen flooded into the room, making the surrounding scene briefly clear.

The light flashed away, but the image that remained on the retina made the dark figure instantly understand what was wrong, and cold sweat silently soaked his back.

——The detective who just closed his eyes and was "sleeping" now had his eyes open and was looking directly at him.

Jiang Xia raised his head and locked his eyes accurately on the figure who retreated in panic. There was no trace of the confusion in his eyes that he had just woken up from. Instead, he was extremely clear and clear, even a little hidden...

happy?

"??!"
