Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Jiang Xia searched along the street and found the convenience store Mrs. Nanjo mentioned.

   When a few people came out after shopping, Hui Yuanai yawned and was about to say something when she suddenly stopped.

  Jiang Xia glanced at her: "What's wrong?"

  Haihara Ai raised her finger and pointed to the opposite side of the street.

   There is a hamburger restaurant. It may be late, and there are not many people in the store at this time. And sitting near the window was a short-haired woman who looked familiar.

  ——Hayato Nanjo's manager was leaning against the window, staring at the building diagonally opposite.

   "The manager was kicked out by Mr. Nanjo too." Dr. Ali remembered the grumpy famous actor, and looked at her with sympathy, "You have already experienced severe beatings in the workplace at such a young age."

   After all, they are not very familiar with each other, so they didn't rush over to talk to them.

   They ate snacks, strolled along the street, and went to see the nearby small attractions, but it was a pity that it was pitch black at night, and there was no beauty to see.

   After playing for a while, Jiang Xia looked down at his watch: "Mrs. Nanjo should have finished chatting with the director."

  Recalling the big meal that Mrs. Nanjo said, and the unfinished investigation, the few people did not continue to wander around, but turned back to the temporary office building of the crew, intending to have dinner.

  …

  Walking back slowly, before reaching the building where the crew is located, I saw a huge group of people at the intersection.

  —It seems that the crew has finished their work for today and is gathering at a nearby intersection, ready to have dinner.

  The director took a rough look at the number of people, and became puzzled: "Why are there still people who haven't come, and haven't eaten?"

   "Maybe they have eaten it themselves." The person in charge also counted the number of people, "I remember that a few guys couldn't stay idle and ran to visit the scenic spots."

   "That's it." The director didn't care much about these staff members, but there seemed to be other people not there, "Why didn't Nanjo come down?"

   Mrs. Nanjo looked at the building at the other end of the street, and sighed: "I must be worried about the threat letter. After receiving such a thing, who would have the mood to eat leisurely."

  The director snorted: "I don't think so."

  The staff next to him remembered something: "When I came down, I saw Mr. Nanjo going to the toilet—but that was more than 20 minutes ago."

  The director laughed mockingly: "At his age, it's normal for him to go to the bathroom slowly—you go and urge him. Otherwise, if we leave him without saying a word, he will definitely look for trouble again later."

  The staff member nodded and was about to walk back. But just as he took a step, he suddenly stared in the direction of the building in a daze.

   Immediately following, his expression became terrified.

  The staff pointed tremblingly at the temporary office building of the crew: "That, that..."

   A group of people followed his direction and looked from afar.

   Nearly a hundred meters away, a man in a black robe and a skull mask passed by and quickly ran away.

  Mao Lilan's eyes were good, and she recognized it: "That black robe and skull mask, it seems to be dressed in the 'death array'!"

  —And in my impression, the inscription on the threat letter is "in the death circle"!

  The crowd was in an uproar. Since there were many people around when the threatening letter was found in Hayato Nanjo's luggage, the incident had already spread throughout the crew at this time.

  A few seconds ago, most of the crew actually agreed with the director—according to Hayato Nanjo’s character, the threatening letter was probably a hype of his own directing and acting.

  Unexpectedly, now, the "Reaper" actually ran out.

  Jiang Xia just glanced over there, and saw a child rushing out at his feet, so he quickly followed.

  Among the crowd, except for the two detectives who rushed out, the reporters were the first to react.

  The leading middle-aged reporter waved his hand and said excitedly, "Where's the camera?"

Whether it's hype or not, this is obviously a good subject - looking at it this way, the "Death God" in the distance has excellent skills and smooth movements. A detective.

   Detective vs Reaper, no matter how you look at it, it is worth reporting.

  In the past, because the probability of cases happening around Jiang Xia was too random, when the middle-aged reporters received news related to Jiang Xia and rushed to the scene of the crime, the case was often solved.

   Unexpectedly, this time with the crew, he would actually gain something as a detective. This is really...

   Wonderful!

   "Hurry up, take pictures!" The middle-aged reporter felt that the apprentice was moving too slowly. After shouting, he simply grabbed the camera and carried it on his shoulder, followed Jiang Xia closely, and rushed over.

  …

   The speed of the detectives' pursuit is not slow.

   But after all, the starting point was more than half a street away, and Jiang Xia was very virtuous and didn't cheat by taking out spider legs, wings, black panthers and the like.

   When they finally got closer, the "Death God" in black robe just turned over the wall and disappeared in front of everyone.

   Mao Lilan looked at the not-so-low wall, clutched the freshly warm autograph book in his hand, and felt that he should contribute a little security force to Mrs. Nanjo's husband.

  She was about to jump over the wall, trying to chase someone.

  Seeing at the side, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something, and stopped hesitantly.

"I'll go and see Mr. Nanjo first." Jiang Xia said, "I'm not very familiar with the terrain around here. If the 'death formation' makes a sudden attack, or there are accomplices who attack Mr. Nanjo while we are chasing him, things will be troublesome." .”

  Maolilan: "!" That's right.

  The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

  A group of people rushed back to the building where the crew was located—just now, the "Reaper" did not run in the direction of the building, but went to a nearby park.

   On the way, the reporter who was running hard with the camera on his shoulders just caught up, and found that Jiang Xia and the others turned their heads in the direction of the building again, and couldn't help being a little surprised:

   "What's wrong? Stop chasing people?"

  For the sake of performance, while he asked, he could only run back with humming.

  …

  Jiang Xia had just arrived at the entrance of the temporary office building of the film crew, and on the other side of the gate, a person just jumped out.

  Mr. Nanjo's short-haired manager ran quickly from the direction of the burger shop just now.

   "Miss Yoshino?"

Panting heavily, Yoshino Satomi grabbed Jiang Xia, and said eagerly: "On the way back from the hamburger restaurant, I saw a man rushing into this building—that man was dressed strangely! He seemed to be wearing a A black robe, I remember the 'death circle' is that kind of attire, will it be..."

   "Oh? So, it's really the 'Death God' who came here to kill?" The middle-aged reporter's eyes lit up.
