Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 303 I lost

   After thinking about how to effectively eliminate the signs of death, Jiang Xia returned to the hall, skillfully found the sofa and sat down, then let the shikigami and ghosts pass through the wall, piled up like clay, and condensed a puppet in the woods.

  This time, he chose Misttengu.

  Although I decided to cut the bridge, this time it involved rivers and ditches. To be on the safe side, I had to choose someone who could fly.

  It was late, and the puppet took shape in the shadow of the branches and flew to the bridge, leaving no footprints on the snow.

  …

   Kidd was admiring the snow scene by the window at this time.

   That's what he said, but in fact, he just used the reflection on the window to observe Jiang Xia.

  According to his father's "last words", magicians do not perform unprepared performances, and Jiang Xia is an unplanned character, and has enough ability to affect him, so he must be observed more.

   However, Jiang Xia didn't do anything. After returning from the room, he had been quietly leaning on the sofa.

   Instead, in the woods outside the window, someone suddenly flashed past.

   Kidd was startled, his attention instantly recovered from the reflective fictional scene and plunged into the forest.

   At this time, there were no strange things in sight.

   But Kidd thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more solemn his expression became: According to his memory, the passing shadow he saw just now was flying in the air. Combined with the approximate body shape, and the pair of suspected wings behind it...

  Fog Tengu? !

   Kidd had a headache... The last time he was robbed of the billiard cue by Wutengu, he clearly said that he was not here to steal from the mountains this time. Could it be that Wutiangu is worried about being deceived by strange thieves, so he wants to come and see the situation in person?

  Oh, this is an insult to the character of the phantom thief. He is a model phantom thief who doesn't lie... At least he doesn't lie on the notice... Well, even if he did, it was because the plan couldn't keep up with the changes...

   Kidd thought about it a lot, but he couldn't let it go in the end.

The appearance of Wutiangu flying at a low altitude in the forest just now, no matter how he thought about it, it looked like he was hunting on the ground, and he remembered that there were still people in the party who hadn't come. The yokai of ideas grabs it and takes it away...

  Thinking of this, Kidd made an excuse to go back to the room, and hurriedly used the glider to enter the woods, wanting to communicate with the fog tengu first and ask why it came near the villa.

   However, after walking around the villa, there was no one around.

   Kidd was slightly puzzled. The foggy dog ​​just left? Did it just come to patrol and monitor?

  Thinking about it this way, it actually makes some sense. After all, according to his investigation, Shanni Temple was on the other side of the mountain.

   In other words, this is the hometown of Wutiangu, and suddenly there are so many people at home, it is common sense for him to come and have a look...

  Kid wrapped his hang glider and tangled in the windy woods for a while, and finally decided to take a look at the situation along the road from here to the suspension bridge.

  If you can't find it, it means that the fog tengu may have finished patrolling.

   In this way, he can return to the villa with peace of mind and continue to focus on his own business...

  …

  Jiang Xia jumped down from the tree with his puppet, checked the direction in the woods a little, quickly found the right way, and flew all the way to the suspension bridge.

   He didn't fly too high, but used trees to cover his figure in case someone bored looked out and saw something strange in the moonlight.

The    bridge was already on fire.

  Jiang Xia landed on the side of the bridge, broke the slings a few times, and the scorching suspension bridge fell with a bang. There are only bare cliffs and a river with thin ice below, and there is no need to worry about it causing a forest fire.

  Jiang Xia glanced down at the results, hiding his merit and fame, intending to dismantle the puppet and return to the main body.

   But at this moment, he heard a roaring engine sound, and a car seemed to be rushing here along the opposite mountain road.

   Conan and Mouri Kogoro should have returned... Thinking of this, Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and did not return immediately, but hid behind the tree to conduct a final inspection of the fruits of his labor.

   After a few seconds, the car that was driven out of the sports car effect appeared across the bridge and stopped with a piece of snow and dirt.

  The doors of the driver and co-pilot opened at the same time, and two figures, one big and one small, jumped out of the car, and then rushed to the edge of the cliff in sync, and saw the completely broken suspension bridge.

   Conan and Mouri Kogoro flashed the same message in an instant - something happened! Judging from the breaking direction of the suspension bridge, the murderer must be in the villa on the other side, and is planning to create a serial murder case!

  Mori Kogoro looked at the ten-meter-wide cliff, frowning and dialing anxiously.

   But soon he put down his phone again - there is no signal here, so he has to go out for a while and call again.

   Mouri Kogoro waved to Conan: "Get back to the car!" Then he hurried to his car.

  Conan retracted his gaze from staring at the cliff ahead, and glanced back, as if he was looking at Mouri Kogoro's car.

  ... This should be the plan to go back. Jiang Xia watched secretly from behind the tree, feeling relieved that her rush had paid off.

   He retracted his head that stuck out a little bit, and was about to return to the main body, and have a leisurely fire in the warm villa.

   However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a very strange sound, as if something was constantly being stretched, and it was about to stretch to the limit.

   Jiang Xia was startled, stopped what he had just thought, and stuck his head out again.

   Seeing the other side of the bridge, Conan took advantage of Mouri Kogoro's back to him, and tied the two ends of the magical retractable strap given by the doctor to two trees respectively.

   He himself leaned against the middle of the strap, and then used the power of the power-enhancing shoes to keep pressing the strap back, like a projectile trying to shoot himself with a slingshot.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ……nb

  …

  Conan took a few steps back to the limit.

   Then when Maori Kogoro finally discovered the scene here and asked in shock "what are you doing?!", he let go of his feet and flew out.

The moment the    bounced off, he immediately judged based on the angle and speed of his launch that this wave could do it!

  Conan's mouth curled into a steady smile.

In the next second, that smile instantly solidified—he found that if he continued like this, he would have no problem flying to the other side, not only to cross the river ditch, but also to fly a few more meters, but the problem was... on his route There is a tree!

  Conan tried his best to change the direction of the landing, and stepped on the tree trunk with his foot to buffer, but he couldn't turn it at all. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and cover his head.

However, when he was about to hit the pillar and be disabled, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. Someone pressed him on the shoulder, giving him a little precious buffer, and then rushed to the tree and carried him to a complete stop. Down.

   Even so, Conan's head, which was being hit by a bad cold, was still dizzy. He shook his head and opened his eyes, just as he was about to thank him, by the way, he tried to mention the murder case to this person who might be a party participant from where he appeared.

   However, just as his vision became clear, he was startled by the pair of golden pupils that glowed dimly in the dark forest.
