Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1912 1912 [Uzo’s Purpose]

   Perhaps he had figured out the situation, this time, the detective finally showed some face.

  Jiang Xia's tone became serious: "Are you 'Santa Claus with a red beard'?"

   Miwako Sato next to him was startled when she heard what he said, and leaned closer to the receiver to listen.

   "Santa Claus with a red beard" sneered: "You can see the window on the 3rd floor from you, right?"

   Police officers Jiang Xia and Sato turned their heads and looked over after hearing the words. At this time, the night was dark, and most of the guests who came here were traditional guests who liked drama, and they had already rested. At this point the whole building was almost pitch black.

  The voice of "Santa Claus with a red beard" continued to sound: "Look carefully, the third act of the murder drama is about to kick off."

   After speaking, he let out a series of uncomfortable grins.

   Miwako Sato heard that he was actually announcing another murder, so she quickly took the phone from Jiang Xia, wanting to ask questions. However, the screen has returned to the normal interface—the other party hung up the phone.

  At this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly raised her hand and pointed her in the direction of the building.

   Miwako Sato was startled, looked up, her expression changed suddenly.

  In the originally pitch-black building, a window lit up at some point—it was the red room on the third floor.

  The red light was already extremely glaring, but now it was the only room with lights on, making it even more conspicuous.

   And if you look closely, you can see a man in a windbreaker and hat standing quietly in front of the window of the red room. The man was leaning against the window, overlooking the yard, as if sneering at the policemen and detectives in the yard.

   After watching for a few seconds, he turned and left.

  The figure disappeared, and Miwako Sato recovered from the shocking scene like a horror movie: "Isn't this the house of the three temporary workers?!"

  Jiang Xia also seems to be very worried about those friends who are not very familiar: "Go and see."

  Two people rushed into the hotel one after the other.

  Several policemen on guard in the lobby were startled when they saw someone running. After recognizing that it was a detective, they put down their hands holding the batons: "What's wrong? You probably found the body in the yard, right?"

   Saburo Inozuka heard the movement and glanced over from a distance. Seeing Jiang Xia standing, he was startled: "..." This detective is still alive? !

  Jiang Xia told the police: "We saw a suspicious figure in Room 315, and the 'Santa Claus with a red beard' might have been there just now."

   "Santa Claus with a red beard!?" The policemen thought of the guy who had announced the murder, their expressions became serious, and they ran upstairs with Jiang Xia.

   Saburo Inozuka: "..."

  He eavesdropped on Jiang Xia's conversation, and then looked down at his mobile phone, which he hadn't replied to.

   Then he folded his hands quietly, bowed to the phone: "..." I didn't expect that it wasn't Jiang Xia who died, but those two poor accomplices... I'm sorry, but he really tried his best.

   After worshiping, Inozuka Saburo silently squeezed his burly body into the middle of the sofa: "..." Never leave this only safe island. This hotel has become more and more dangerous!

  …

  When Saburo Inozuka ignored the lives of Kurosawa and Maya Hashimoto and focused on his life.

  The righteous detective has brought a group of policemen to the 3rd floor.

  The red room here is very famous. On the way here, the policemen just listened to Jiang Xia's retelling of the situation, and they couldn't help getting some goosebumps.

   They went straight to room 315, stared at the door vigilantly, and knocked a few times.

   However, there was no movement in the room, and no one came to open the door.

   Fortunately, the police were clever and notified the hotel manager in advance.

  At this time, the administrator held the magnetic card of Room 315 and ran over panting: "Here is the key."

  Jiang Xia took the magnetic card and opened the door.

  Opening the door and looking, in the dim light, a person was lying upright beside the bed, unconscious, but his expression looked very uneasy.

   "Mr. Hashimoto?" Jiang Xia ran over in shock, knelt down and poked him, "Are you okay?"

  ... Isn't it just standing in a narrow entrance with no room to dodge, being attacked from behind with a tranquilizer gun? This can't be avoided, the bucket of iced black tea doesn't seem to be very good at fighting.

   But anyway, he fell under the gun, better than the neighbor who was thrown down by the stick.

  Jiang Xia reluctantly forgave the younger brother's carelessness.

  And perhaps because he felt that he was threatened with death when he fainted, the desire to survive and the desire to attack erupted together, and the murderous aura of iced black tea fell all over Hashimoto Maya, and it was a scene of a bumper harvest.

  Jiang Xia turned his back to everyone, and by checking the situation of Maya Hashimoto, he gathered all the murderous spirits, straightened them out and stuffed them into the tattoo space.

  Maybe because of the thick clothes and the lack of anesthetic, Maya Hashimoto woke up stubbornly.

   "You're awake." The detective looked at him with concern when he opened his eyes, Jiang Xia said sadly, "You were attacked by a 'red-bearded Santa Claus'."

  Hashimoto Maya looked at him, then at the policeman behind Jiang Xia, unbelievable: "..." I am...alive? !

  He thought Uzo finally got his hands on him, but now it doesn't look like that. But what happened to the bunch of situations that happened just now? ?

   At this moment, there was a commotion from the few policemen gathered at the door.

  Jiang Xia left Hashimoto Maya behind, looked back, and saw who opened the bathroom door.

  In the narrow bathroom, under the eerie red light, a person hangs there quietly.

  Hearing movement in the corridor, I couldn't help but come over to check together. Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko saw this exciting scene when they probed: "..."

"ah-!"

  …

   A good Christmas Eve turned into a sleepless night.

  Hashimoto Maya was helped by the kind detective to sit on the sofa in the lobby. After what happened just now, he never wanted to sleep again in his life.

   And now, Maya Hashimoto didn't care about where the disappeared Saburo Inozuka is now, and her mind was filled with question marks: "..." Kurosawa died?

  Although the ambulance came and managed to send the person to the hospital, Hashimoto Maya always felt that the old brother of the accomplice was in danger.

   What's even weirder is that he, who was obviously more likely to be Uzo's target, survived smoothly.

Hashimoto Maya felt like being scratched by a tiger in his heart for a moment, and every second felt that he would die the next moment: "So why did Uzo let me go so lightly? Is this just a small warning? He wants to pass The way he keeps murdering people around me, telling me that my life is in his hands?

   "But why did he treat a small peripheral member of mine like this, even going after him from Tokyo to Hokkaido? ——If he wanted to ask Mr. Ireland's information from me, why didn't he just ask me?!"
