Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia's eyes moved and he quickly noticed the strange light in the front desk's eyes.

He was puzzled for a moment, and began to wonder if this beautiful receptionist was some of the peripheral members left by Toru Amuro - maybe the boss didn't actually leave, but just wanted to avoid acquaintances like Conan and the Mori father and daughter, so he left him a The secret code for the connection, need to go quietly?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia nodded cautiously when facing the front desk's question.

The front desk got the answer in the affirmative. She leaned down and took out a bulging travel bag from behind the counter.

Then he put it on the table and pushed it to Jiang Xia. His eyes were fixed on him and he smiled sweetly: "The gentleman said this is your luggage. Let us remember to hand it to you."

"..." Jiang Xia took the travel bag, feeling anxious. But his reason kept him calm and did not open it immediately. After all, this was a hotel lobby, surrounded by travelers of unknown origin, people coming and going.

Fortunately they couldn't see the ghost.

Decisively let the ghosts squirm into the bag and take a look.

Then Jiang Xia was very disappointed to find that there was nothing inside except some changes of clothes and daily necessities, and an envelope containing cash.

If you take a closer look, you will see that the letter is an ordinary letter, the money is ordinary money, and the clothes are ordinary clothes... There is nothing that can be regarded as a "code", and no connection point can be decoded from it.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xia opened her phone again, looked through her mailbox carefully, and clicked on the trash can to take a look.

There was no news from Toru Amuro in the mailbox.

While he was staring at his phone in a daze, it suddenly vibrated.

Perhaps because it was his wake-up time and he thought it would be too suspicious not to send a letter after such a long time, Toru Amuro finally sent a brief message - [I have other tasks to deal with. The current mission is over and you can move freely]

Jiang Xia: "..."

It seems that the boss really left, and he left very decisively.

Jiang Xia sighed silently: Is there any task that cannot be discussed? Take him with you to see him. He is so easy to use as a tool, he doesn't talk much, he works seriously, and he is very considerate to his boss.

...Unfortunately, it is useless to talk about this now.

Jiang Xia calculated the time told to him by the front desk. At this time, at the speed of the boss's car, it was enough to run back to the boss's hometown.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh again, and looked at the mermaid huddled behind the flower pot.

Last night, it was the turn of the mermaid and Miyano Akemi to be on duty. Miyano Akemi had been standing beside him, knitting flower ropes, and was responsible for waking him up in case any perverted murderer broke into the room. The mermaid was responsible for patrolling the surroundings, and she just couldn't take any time off.

As a result, when Belmode left, the mermaid reluctantly chased him for a short distance until the distance was so far that it would burn out too much murderous energy and wake Jiang Xia up. Then he happily floated back with a ball of apple-flavored murderous energy in his arms.

Toru Amuro probably ran away during that time.

This fake bottle of bourbon is not the same as gin or Belmode. He doesn't have the murderous aura that surrounds him all year round. It seems that he only enters the state of coffee-flavored murderous aura when he is face to face with organizational cadres or doing very "organizational style" tasks.

...This led to the fact that whether it was Jiang Xia or Gui, there was inevitably something missing in their observations of him.

And the most important thing is...Jiang Xia didn't expect Toru Amuro to leave without saying hello.

Otherwise, a ghost should be specially released to float into Toru Amuro's room and stare at him, and then at the right time, the boss will lack the physical conditions to leave, such as making him lose his normally functioning car... Tsk, that's careless.

…

After coming to the front desk to confirm the whereabouts of Tohru Amuro.

Conan followed Jiang Xia back like a tail, hesitating to speak along the way.

Although Jiang Xia said not to ask, there seemed to be more and more mysteries. If he didn't ask again, Conan felt like he would collapse into chaos and become a mystery.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind before Jiang Xia returned to the room and chased after him: "Why are you leaving your luggage with Boss Amuro?"

At the same time, he looked at the travel bag suspiciously. I'm worried that there is some deadly illegal substance in it.

"..." Because I don't have any luggage at all, Jiang Xia said casually, "Because I can't fit it in my own room."

Conan: "..."

This reason, which even Mouri Kogoro would not believe, clearly shows the perfunctory nature of the answerer.

Conan slowly realized that what Jiang Xia said just now, "Don't ask," actually included another included meaning in the package: "You can't get anything out of me if you ask."

He had no choice but to shut up silently and try to sort out this messy trip on his own.

Of course, the first step to find out the truth is to shamelessly follow Jiang Xia's room and try to observe the contents of the travel bag.

If it is really illegal, it is not too late to call the police now - those at the front desk and lobby will prove that this bag was given to Jiang Xia by someone else, and Jiang Xia is just an unlucky victim.

After entering the room, Jiang Xia opened the bag.

Conan took a closer look and was shocked to find that the bag was really just ordinary luggage.

The only suspicious thing was an envelope containing money.

But it was obviously not illegal funds, because there was only 100,000 yen in it, and Jiang Xia earned it back just by accepting any commission. Compared with dirty cash flow, this is more like subsidies related to travel expenses and living expenses. Judging from the amount, Toru Amuro actually looks like a conscientious boss who does not exploit employees.

Since it is ordinary luggage...could these luggage just serve as hostages? Was Toru Amuro detaining Jiang Xia by detaining his luggage before?

This kind of ineffective method does not seem to fit the sinister image of a scumbag boss... Also, why did Toru Amuro suddenly leave now?

Conan just felt confused.

First of all, the reason why Boss Amuro ran away was probably not because he met enthusiastic people like him and the Mori family, because the two parties had met before. At that time, Toru Amuro didn't give any reaction.

I heard that a few days ago, Hattori specially mobilized the police to arrest people, but in the end there was no result.

And Conan remembered that Hattori Heiji, a second-generation police officer, secretly shared information with him after he inquired about it, saying that similar things happened more than once - even Kidd, whom he met by chance on the way, reported Toru Amuro, saying that he was a personal trafficker who kidnapped innocent high school students. .

As a result, Toru Amuro is fine so far.

Of course, Conan and Hattori Heiji agreed that this did not mean that Amuro Toru had no problems.

Because if you think about Jiang Xia's attitude, you will understand - even the person being persecuted does not admit that Amuro Toru is committing illegal acts against him, so no matter how hard others try, it will be difficult to use...
