Conan’s Corpse Picker

  “…”

  The moon is dark and the wind is high, the river is cold and the water is cold.

  Shi Kaobing stared at the man who was floating in front of him, feeling a coolness on his back for no reason, he couldn't help but shuddered.

   But after all, she is a murderous thief. She quickly regained her composure, and a hint of suspicion gradually appeared in her eyes: Didn’t this person drift away long ago, why did she turn back from the other direction? It's as if he swam back on purpose...

   But soon, Shi Kaobing denied the guess again: with her alertness and the level of silence around her, if this person really swam back, then she couldn't have heard any movement.

  Perhaps she had been parked here, and the boat disturbed the direction of part of the current, so this person was washed back again?

"Oh, it's really fate." Shi Kaobing sneered in his heart, pulled out the gun hidden on his body, lowered the muzzle, and aimed at the guy who startled her, "In that case, I'll just give you a ride. already."

   Just before pulling the trigger, a gust of night wind blew.

   There was a faint sound of sirens on the river bank.

  "..." Shi Kaobing paused with his finger on the trigger, and his pupils shrank: Why did the police suddenly come here? !

   Could it be that the group of trash also predicted Kidd's escape location and planned to come here in advance? But in that case, they shouldn't sound the siren...

  Shi Kao Bing ignored the people in the river for a while, grabbed his binoculars and looked at the river bank, and he really saw some police lights gradually approaching.

   She snorted: Although the gun was equipped with a silencer, the smoke that exploded when the gun was fired fell on the clothes on the boat, which was difficult to deal with. If he shoots and kills now, and is seen by sharp-eyed policemen and stopped for inspection, things will be in trouble.

  Shi Kaobing: "..." is just an insignificant passerby, and should not affect her great cause of stealing the treasures of the Romanov Dynasty the next day.

   She took a deep breath and put away the gun aggrievedly, not intending to continue to ignore the annoying guy in the river, wanting him to drown himself.

   She turned and prepared to sail.

   But just a moment before the boat started, there was a crisp sound of water behind him.

  "?!" Shi Kaobing turned his head sharply, and saw that the young man actually grabbed the side of the boat and climbed up. He was in a neat shape, and when the water splashed to the ground, he had already flipped into the cabin lightly.

   It may be that his dashing movements when getting on the boat exhausted his strength. As soon as the man got on the boat, he immediately sat down weakly against the side of the boat, and coughed twice as if he was choking on water.

After two seconds, when Shi Kaobing sorted out his expression, he just raised his head in a daze, looked at her, and a trace of apology crossed his face: "I don't have enough strength to swim to the shore, so I can only get on you first. The boat...wet the board, you shouldn't mind. I'll pay for it later."

   "..." Shi Kaobing didn't expect this guy to wake up, and suddenly climbed up like a water ghost.

  Holding the gun in her pocket, she barely suppressed the thought of drawing a gun to kill him, and her gaze swept coldly across Jiang Xia.

   Then he was slightly startled, and his eyes stopped on his face.

  Shi Kaobing: "..." Wait a minute, this seems like... that famous high school detective? !

  …

  Shi Kabing is actually not quite the situation in Japan. …

   But this time, after all, he is going to steal treasure, and he can't fully hope for Kidd. Therefore, she disguised as a "Romanov Dynasty researcher", and planned to use this identity to directly contact the owner of the treasure, the Suzuki Foundation.

   In order to facilitate the action, it can be regarded as a hostage candidate, and the historical researcher checked the relevant information. She knew that near Sonoko Suzuki, there was a powerful detective who often encountered murders.

  I saw the news during the day and learned that Jiang Xia had also come to Osaka. Shi Kaobing once thought at random: Jiang Xia might also be one of the obstacles to his stealing this treasure.

   She had even thought about how to keep her flawless in front of this detective tomorrow, but she didn't expect to meet someone suddenly tonight.

  …

   At this time, when he recognized the person who fell into the water, a thought flashed in Shi Kaobing's mind: If he had a good relationship, he might be able to use Jiang Xia as a cover.

  Because in addition to the detective, there must be many obstacles for her tomorrow: the police, Kidd, other detectives... Maybe there are experts specially invited by the Suzuki family to protect the treasure.

   If Jiang Xia can be turned into a teammate, it is not difficult to imagine that many links will be much simpler.

but……

  Shi Kaobing frowned again, and thought suspiciously: If Jiang Xia saw her observing the nearby behavior just now, and tomorrow he found out that Kidd would have an accident here, and then associated the two things together. Then she will undoubtedly risk exposure.

   Sure enough...

   Kill it.

  …

   A series of thoughts flashed through, and Shi Kaobing quickly made a decision.

  There are police officers searching nearby, guns tend to leave gunpowder, and knives tend to leave bloodstains. But luckily, if you want to kill someone, there are so many ways.

  ——For example, the simplest one at present, strangling people to death.

   She put on gloves, moved her slender fingers, and took a step forward, trying to grab the weak detective's neck.

   But at this time, Shi Kaobing's eyes suddenly stopped.

  "..." I couldn't see it from the angle just now, but now that I got closer, I saw a handprint printed on the side of the boat. It was very much like what was left behind when the boat was turned over - the board was made of alloy. This detective...

  The intuition honed over the years in life and death made Shi Kaobing cautiously stop.

   She suddenly recalled previous reports: Although she had never heard that Jiang Xia was good at fighting, there were several reports that Jiang Xia went into danger alone in order to fight against criminals.

   Judging from the photos attached to the report, Jiang Xia was always unscathed in the follow-up, but the prisoner did not appear on the scene, and could only vaguely glimpse the back of the ambulance from a distance from the photo.

  Shi Kaobing: "..." is not right.

   One has to be careful.

   It’s not that he’s worried that he won’t be able to beat Jiang Xia, it’s just that people’s desire to survive is very strong. If Jiang Xia's strength is really so strong, he will struggle later, even if it is "strangled", it will definitely leave many traces.

  The police on the shore are getting closer and closer, and the same sentence: To get the "egg of memory" first, you can't expose yourself.

  …

   At this time, Shi Kaobing was opposite.

   Jiang Xia seemed to hear the sound of her approaching footsteps, and raised his lowered gaze.

   He looked over without the slightest suspicion, but only with a little focus and gratitude towards the savior.

   found that Shi Kaobing's eyes were strange, he followed the woman's line of sight, as if he understood something.

After a while, Jiang Xia moved his body slightly, blocked the side of the boat behind him, and said a little embarrassedly: "There is really no easy place to hold the boat, and the water is too cold, so I can only do this. But...cough , please rest assured. As I said just now, I will compensate according to the price for any damage to the ship."
