Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Jiang Xia held the receiver: "You are the only one at the banquet who can talk to Mr. Tachibana with the surname of 'Omura' - think about it carefully, did he leave any hints or clues before his death."

   "Mr. Tachibana's code is for you to ask me?" President Omura was even more puzzled.

   But Jiang Xia's words seemed to give him some kind of hint.

He thought about this for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "That's right! Speaking of which, the day before the birthday party, I went to Mr. Tachibana to get the manuscript of the new book. He smiled mysteriously at the time. , didn't say whether to answer or not, but told me something strange

  "—he said that if someone came to me and asked a question I didn't understand, he would tell that person 'ask Shiren and I'll know'...Ah—!

who? ! You, what are you doing? ! "

   There was a dull sound of "bang" across the phone.

   followed by another muffled sound, the familiar sound of sticks and flesh colliding.

   Gradually, Jiang Xia heard that the president of Omura was silent, and the other side of the phone quickly became quiet.

  …

  Two kilometers away, at the home of the head of Omura.

   A burly man, holding a golf club, stood next to the out of breath President Omura, reached out and picked up the receiver that was hanging in the air, and hung up the phone.

   He wore gloves, a hat and a mask, his face was tightly covered, and his figure was also covered by a wide windbreaker.

After    finished speaking, the man glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground, tightened his mask, and quickly turned to leave.

  …

After    Jiang Xia returned to the car, Belmod asked, "What happened?"

  Although no sound could be heard through the phone booth, the walls of the phone booth were transparent. Belmod looked inside and quickly judged that something was wrong on the other side of the phone, interrupting Jiang Xia's questioning.

   "Omura answered the phone and was beaten to death." Jiang Xia fastened his seat belt. "But before he died, he gave a new clue - 'You can find out when you ask Shiren'."

   "Are you going to visit Omura?" Belmod asked casually.

   "Forget it." Jiang Xia looked out the car window.

The place where the head of Omura lives is still prosperous, and now it is just daytime, and the traffic flow is not small: "The distance of two kilometers, this road condition, when we pass, the murderer has already run away - I don't want to really As in my memory, I ran to the crime scene to check the body, and then suddenly a group of 'witnesses' jumped out from behind...

   "But I remember from the map that there is an overpass near Omura's house. When passing by, take a look at the situation and don't get too close."

  Belmode thought so too, so she didn't drive to Omura's house at the beginning.

   Holding the steering wheel, she seemed to inadvertently detour toward the nearby viaduct.

When    was about to reach the place, Belmod's eyes moved slightly:

   A police car was approaching in the distance, apparently heading towards Omura's house.

  ——The president of Omura really died, and someone called the police directly.

When    passed the police car, Jiang Xia raised his hand to block the sunlight, which just blocked the policeman's unintentional sight.

  The two cars crossed and were far away. The police car did not find any problems and continued to drive towards Omura's house.

  Bermode looked at the police car that was getting farther and farther in the rearview mirror, and smiled: "You are much more skilled than I thought."

  Jiang Xia put down his hand: "If you play a lot of games, you will always know how to avoid the NPC's perspective-go farther and look for a phone booth. There may be martial law in this area soon."

  …

  Belmode, as she said, has a lot of experience in evading the police.

   The two quickly found an area without police surveillance. Belmod parked the car next to the phone booth, Jiang Xia walked in quickly, and got the phone without disturbing anyone.

  ——President Omura left a sentence before he took the dog, "You will find out when you ask him."

   So the next clue must be in the hands of the guest with the surname "Shiren".

   Now Jiang Xia and Belmod are considered action factions, while Jin Jiu miraculously made a cameo appearance in the intelligence team.

   Jiang Xia stuffed coins into the coin slot and dialed the phone number of Qin Restaurant, intending to get some information from him.

   However, the bell rang for a long time, but no one answered - it seems that Gin is not at home at the moment.

  Jiang Xia: "..." It's really hard to imagine how Jinjiu would stay at home and wait for the NPCs to feed the information. This person must have taken the initiative to look for it...

  Thinking like this, he switched off the phone, turned to the paging station, and sent a message to Jinjiu's BP machine, asking him to find a landline that could answer the phone as soon as possible, and after finding it, send the number to Jiangxia's BP machine.

  …

   After sending the message, Jiang Xia returned to the car and continued to follow Belmod for a ride in the city.

After nearly half an hour, he found that his BP machine had never received the news, Jiang Xia sighed: "Why haven't you replied yet - he didn't do something accidentally when he was looking for someone to ask for clues, now You're busy evading the city's most wanted."

   "..." Belmod thought about Gin's temper, and suddenly felt that it was not impossible.

   However, after all, I don’t want to have a pig teammate, and the chances of Gin being patient are also not small.

   So Belmod just said objectively in the end: "It may also be that he is just walking halfway and can't receive the signal.

   "I saw it on the way here. There are very few base stations here. It's okay in the city. If you visit those scattered guests in the suburbs, it is indeed easy to suddenly lose contact.

   "——I've been waiting, I don't know how long. Let's find a place to rest first. After driving for a long time, my waist is sore."

  Belmode hasn’t done this kind of overtime driving for a long time, and I didn’t expect to experience it again here.

   Thinking about it, her killing intent towards Anonymous couldn't help but grow stronger:

   The effect of disguise cannot be reproduced. This senseless feeling of tiredness is very close to reality. It is hard not to suspect that those guys are deliberately tossing the members of the black-clothed organization.

  …

  No ID is required to stay in the hotel, as long as there is a room available, you can enter by paying.

   The two found a hotel near the river, and Belmod went to open the room first and opened the window.

   After a while, Jiang Xia, the "Wanted Criminal", took advantage of the dim sky and turned in lightly from the window.

   "You're really skilled at climbing windows."

  Bermode leaned against the window and couldn't help expressing the above emotion when he saw his flowing movements.

  Jiang Xia turned around and closed the window, pulled up the curtains, turned to look at her, and hesitated: "If you can't find a compliment, you don't have to."

  Bermode blinked slowly: Isn't that a compliment? She feels that she is very sincere, and it is rare to say what is on her mind...
