Conan’s Corpse Picker

Senjian Shidai looked at "Jiang Xia" in the co-pilot. He was startled at first and recognized that this was a colleague.

Then he smiled and said: "It seems that I didn't need to tell you just now, you will also go to the Dusk Villa... Young man, come and help me carry my luggage."

Kidd: "...?"

... The old woman had a young man in her car, so why did she drag him to carry her luggage?

Could it be that the natural volume was one of her distant cousins, whom Qianjian's mother-in-law doted on as a grandson? ...Humph, you cannot dote on me.

While Kid was criticizing Detective Senjian's education methods, he silently got out of the car despite being treated differently. He unloaded the luggage from Felt and stuffed it into Tohru Amuro's car.

Toru Amuro also came to his senses and got out of the car.

He glanced at Granny Qianjian's exquisite and compact suitcase, then looked at Jiang Xia who was driving the puppet, and asked casually: "Where is your luggage?"

"I forgot to bring it." Jiang Xia, the curly-haired young man wearing a vest, said casually, "Since we are going to that annex, the master should help prepare the necessary supplies."

"..." Toru Amuro was silent for a moment.

The voice sounds so similar. Could it be a relative of Matsuda? The timbre is indeed related to genetics, as well as the natural curls of the head, and many details of the facial features...

Next to her, Granny Qianjian saw her suitcases carefully arranged and nodded approvingly.

Then she opened the car door very skillfully and got into the back seat of the car.

Jiang Xia also walked to the other side and sat down.

Toru Amuro glanced at him and returned to the car with Kid, who was dressed as Jiang Xia.

Soon, the vehicle began to follow Qianjian's mother-in-law's instructions and drove towards the Dusk Villa.

…

Tohru Amuro does know about Senjian Granny, the armchair detective. I didn't recognize him at first, but after chatting for a few words, I made the connection between the person and the reputation.

After a few polite words with his colleagues, he inadvertently turned the topic to something he cared more about.

Toru Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia in the rearview mirror and asked in a natural tone: "You seem to have a Tokyo accent when you speak. Are you from Tokyo too?"

Jiang Xia retracted her gaze from the window and nodded.

"..." This quiet personality was not unlike that of Matsuda. Toru Amuro added in a casual manner, "There are no scenic spots worth seeing around here. Are you here to visit relatives? Or have you received a commission?"

"Oh? Didn't you receive the invitation letter? There is a check for 2 million yen enclosed with the letter. Some of my friends - several famous detectives have received it." Senjian's old voice came, "Before I saw the report that Jiang Xia solved the case in Hyogo Prefecture, and I just found him in the car, so I thought you must be here to attend the appointment."

As she spoke, she rummaged through her handbag for a while and found an invitation. Pass it forward through the gap between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

"Jiang Xia" on the co-pilot took it and opened it to check.

Toru Amuro also took a glance.

This invitation letter has white text on a black background and looks very ominous, like an invitation from the God of Death.

Compared to the packaging, the content is a little more normal - the recipient is invited to attend a dinner at Dusk Villa.

However, there are obviously things worth noting.

"The phantom child abandoned by God..." Toru Amuro immediately noticed the long and lengthy signature. After a moment of silence, he thought, "Kid?"

"Jiang Xia" next to him was suddenly called, and he stretched the letter uncomfortably.

...I didn't expect this unscrupulous boss to solve the mystery very quickly. Before, he thought Toru Amuro was the kind of scumbag capitalist who had no ability and could only rely on squeezing Jiang Xia to improve his reputation.

…

Kidd had actually seen this kind of invitation letter before.

Although the sender was signed by him, it was not actually him who sent it. Instead, someone was pretending to be in his name and summoning detectives.

This is why Kidd wanted to disguise himself and blend in to check the specific situation.

Kidd pretended to read the letter, folded the paper again, and handed it back to Senjian Yudai in the back seat.

Then he shook his head: "We were on a business trip recently and didn't pay attention to the office's mailbox."

"Really?" Qianjian's mother-in-law put away the invitation and smiled, "You're already here, why don't you stay in the Dusk Villa for one night? With the famous detective Jiang Xia here, the owner will definitely not mind too much. Two more guests."

Toru Amuro nodded thoughtfully: "Are all the detectives invited this time?"

With that said, he looked again at Jiang Xia, who was wearing Matsuda leather in the back seat: "I've been too busy recently and haven't paid much attention to the news in the detective world... Is this the latest rookie?"

"Kurosawa is not a detective, he came with me." Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't take the initiative to introduce himself, Senjian Fangshi only mentioned the name Jiang Xia told her, and didn't say much else, "It seems that we are almost there. ." She pointed out the window, "I'm right. It's not far away."

"..." Kurosawa?

This surname that I heard occasionally reminded Tohru Amuro of someone he knew - a busy silver figure flashed in his mind, and his mood dropped -1.

At the same time, I felt that this was inconsistent with my speculation: the person in my car who looked related to Matsuda in every aspect, from his face to his dressing style to his appearance, was not named Matsuda?

Also, relatives may not have the same surname.

And if it's the person who came back from the dead, it would be more normal to use a pseudonym... Wait, what are you thinking about? Resurrection from the dead is simply impossible to happen. If you have time to think about this, you might as well think about fake death...

The vehicle soon passed a bridge.

While thinking, Toru Amuro raised his head and looked diagonally upward through the car window.

The road ahead is winding, and at the end stands a large building. There were dark clouds overhead, and there were faint thunder and lightning. The dim light shone from the window of the villa at dusk, failing to bring light and warmth. Instead, it looked like monster eyes exposed from the cracks.

…

At dusk, the courtyard door of the villa opens wide.

Through the sparse and poorly repaired fence, one can see the flat open-air parking lot in the courtyard.

Someone had already arrived first. At this moment, I glanced over and saw that the parking lot was full of luxury cars.

Toru Amuro quickly found a spot and parked.

After it stopped, Jiang Xia and Granny Qianjian opened the door and stepped out of the car.

Kidd, who was wearing Jiang Xiapi, went over and helped Qianjian Shengdai move her luggage.

As soon as I put the suitcase away, I heard a sound from the driver's door.

Kid was startled, stood up and looked over, and saw Toru Amuro had also come down - the unscrupulous boss had already locked the car door as if nothing had happened, as if he planned to go into the annex for a banquet with Granny Senjian and the others. .

Kidd: "...?"

He remembered that just now, when Granny Senjian said she wanted to take a ride, Toru Amuro looked obviously reluctant. From Kidd's perspective, given that Toru Amuro was concentrating on plotting Jiang Xia's actions, he would probably not be willing to stay in a crowded annex, not to mention there were a lot of detectives in the annex.

So Kidd already has tools hidden in his hand and can damage the car at any time.
