Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 366 The Psychic Master Behind the Scenes (two-in-one chapter)

  The four children headed to the art classroom.

   After they left, a middle-aged male figure lightly followed, slightly stooped. The man's face darkened slightly, and the bright top of his head reflected the moonlight outside the window.

   Further back, more than ten meters away, two figures stood quietly at the corner, silently watching the situation ahead... This is Jiang Xia and "Amuro Toru".

  Although nothing has happened yet, in the middle of the dark night, an adult followed a few children, and the man's expressions and actions didn't look like a good man... This is really easy to create a series of associations about crimes.

   Jiang Xia probably understood the situation when he saw the bald head of the follower from a distance.

  If I remember correctly, this should be the dean of Conan and the others.

  It all started a few days ago: the director's beloved wig was lost, and he didn't want to see people during the day, so he had to go back to school in the dark at night to look for the wig.

   Just now, after discovering that there were four wandering children in the school, the director was worried that the top of his head would be exposed, so he planned to take a series of measures to scare the children away, and then continue to search.

   Jiang Xia was recalling, when the mermaid next to him shook his tail happily.

"Amuro Toru" next to   , the surface murderous aura that was about to be dried up, suddenly became a lot more abundant at this time.

   Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced, and found that Belmod looked calm, but the eyes of the dean were filled with a dangerous light.

   He understood immediately—Belmode didn't know the real reason why the director followed behind the child, and he didn't even know that it was actually the school teacher. So now, she may be treating the director as some gangster with bad intentions.

   And the target of the gangster is Conan.

……Ok?

   Jiang Xia touched the murderous aura that had swelled to his side, and then looked at Conan who had entered the art classroom through two windows, and suddenly felt that he smelled a business opportunity.

After Director    and the juvenile detective team, Jiang Xia also moved forward.

  Then he stopped at the corner, let out a ghost and floated into the art classroom, and temporarily moved his vision to the ghost, borrowed it, and observed the situation in the room.

  …

  Conan was worried about disturbing the suspicious people in the school, so he didn't turn on the lights, he just lit the plaster statue in the art classroom with a flashlight and observed it carefully.

   I saw that there was indeed a mark that did not match on the plaster base and the table, which just corresponded to the behavior of the "victim" who left the mark in the strange rumor. In other words, the rumors about the art classroom are not groundless.

  Conan continued to look along the edge of the plaster while thinking.

   Soon, he found that there was a trace of glue on the forehead of the plaster statue.

   He glanced suspiciously and reached out to touch it.

   As the flashlight beam swayed, Conan suddenly felt something was wrong.

When I looked closely, I saw that the top of the plaster had cracked a mouth at some point. The fangs in the mouth were scattered, and the terrifying cusps were pressing on Conan's hand that reached out to touch the plaster statue, and it seemed that it would snap together in the next second. Biting off those fingers in one bite.

  Under Conan's slightly dull gaze, the inexplicably popped mouth, the corners of his lips twitched, and he grinned with a ferocious smile that caused a sudden cardiac arrest.

  …

   An exclamation suddenly came from the art classroom.

  The child's highly penetrating voice radiated far along the quiet and dark corridor.

   Jiang Xia retracted his vision and clay, and just saw the "Amuro Toru" next to him froze in a conditioned reflex. He seemed to want to run over to check it immediately, but in the end, he stopped again after thinking of something.

   Jiang Xia imitated Belmode's expression and made a similar reaction to hers. At the same time, he glanced at the murderous aura that suddenly appeared from the woman.

  … Kudo is really easy to use.

  …

  In the art classroom.

Although   Conan was startled, he certainly wouldn't be fooled by a mere clay mouth.

   On the contrary, the other three children were startled by his sudden movement, and hugged each other like a startled bird.

  Conan, under their complicated gaze, nervously looked at the smooth plaster statue on his forehead in front of him.

  …the scary mouth is gone, very suddenly, just like when it appeared.

   After observing for a moment, Conan approached in disbelief, touched and knocked on the plaster in confusion, trying to figure out the reason for the strange incident just now.

   The other three children did not see the "mouth" just now.

  Ayumi stared at Conan who was behaving erratically, hesitated for a moment, then suggested fearfully, "Let's leave this place first... Shall we go find Brother Jiang Xia?"

   Even if she is beaten, she doesn't want to stay in this terrifying place where even Conan will be frightened...

  Conan has completely come to the interest.

   He couldn't find the mechanism for a while, and he couldn't take things away, so he took out his mobile phone and used the last bit of power to take a picture of this weird plaster statue.

After observing several other plaster statues and finding that none of them had a mouth, Conan felt more and more that what he had encountered just now must be a man-made trick, but he still hadn't been able to figure out the principle... …perhaps some unique material that evaporates after expanding under certain conditions?

   After shooting the plaster statue from all angles, Conan finally touched it and said energetically: "Let's go to the health room again."

   said and walked out the door quickly.

Conan remembers that a few days ago, someone claimed to have seen the mannequin in the health room running wildly in the corridor - now it seems that perhaps this series of "weird campus legends" is simply a mastermind behind chemical materials. Hide in the shadows and play tricks.

   The other three children looked at each other for a moment, afraid to walk around by themselves, and finally had to keep up with Conan.

   A group of people soon came to the health room.

  There are some ordinary-looking utensils stacked here, and there are no humanoid icy plaster statues, which is more relaxing than an art classroom.

  Ayumi looked left and right, feeling that she had calmed down a lot.

  When the other three classmates were looking for the mannequins, she also wanted to help a little, so she casually pulled away a piece of cloth covering something against the wall.

  A mannequin of adult size, without any skin on its surface, emerged from under the cloth without warning.

Ayumi stared blankly at this "human" with only muscles and blood vessels on the surface, as if it had been peeled off, giving people a **** feeling. As soon as her scalp exploded, she suddenly let out a scream like tearing her throat. , escaped the door at an unprecedented speed.

  Conan was stunned for a moment, but after regaining his senses, he hurriedly chased out.

The three little boys followed the direction that Ayumi left, ran through two right angles, and then stopped by the stairs in the middle of the corridor - just now, they clearly saw Ayumi turning in here, but at the moment there was nothing in front of them. There was no sound of footsteps fleeing upstairs.

   "...Ayumi?"

  Conan called out tentatively.

   No one responded, only echoes fell to the ground like ripples, and the three little boys stood holding their breaths, clearly hearing the sound of their hearts beating wildly in the quiet night.

   Mitsuhiko with a hint of crying, said in an inaudible voice: "Ayumi, Ayumi, she must have been swallowed up by the legend..."

   There is no one out of thin air, and Conan is no longer as relaxed as before.

   But he firmly doesn't think there are "legends": "Those 'weird legends' are all man-made, and it is likely that someone hiding in the school captured Ayumi!"

   He looked around, turning his flashlight for clues.

   Before looking around, Kojima Motota suddenly let out a miserable howl like killing a pig.

  Conan turned his head sharply, and saw Yuan Tai raised his hand tremblingly, pointing to the window of the opposite building.

   The building here is in the shape of "mouth". Looking along, I could see a skinless "person" clinging to the glass opposite, staring at them stiffly and coldly - it turned out to be the skinned mannequin just now!

  ...it can't be moving by itself, someone must be moving it. Conan gritted his teeth and rushed over.

   Mitsuhiko and Genta also instinctively followed.

  …

  After the children left in a chaotic manner, the wooden door slowly slid open in the tool room on the ground floor of the first floor, revealing three figures.

   Jiang Xia let go of Ayumi's hand and looked down at her.

  Ayumi just rushed out of the health room and ran around in a panic, trying to hide in the corner.

   Then he bumped into Jiang Xia, who was habitually hiding in the corner.

   Then, because Ayumi bumped into someone in the darkness, she opened her mouth to scream in panic, but Jiang Xia covered her mouth before she could scream.

  ... Jiang Xia didn't know why she wanted to stop her screaming, maybe it was purely a conditioned reflex after watching too many anime movies.

   After doing this, he regained his senses and looked slightly embarrassed at the other two people in the surrounding space.

   But she saw that Ayumi was stunned, and after Jiang Xia let go, she didn't make a sound.

   As for Belmod, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this reaction. Instead, when Jiang Xia was arresting someone, she instinctively looked to both sides to confirm the situation...a very skilled look.

  When no one around is embarrassed, and no one realizes that something is wrong, then the embarrassment will naturally not exist...

  The client Jiang Xia quickly returned to normal.

   He waited nonchalantly in the dark for a while, and after the three children ran away, he put Yoshida Ayumi on the ground next to him.

  Ayumi looked up and saw that it was Jiang Xia. She was a little stunned and stepped back subconsciously.

   At the same time, she turned her head and looked to the side, looking for a friend who could be beaten with her, but there was no one on both sides of the corridor, and the farther she went, the darker it became, as if there was a terrifying black fog.

  “…”

  Ayumi thought about the cold-eyed plaster statue in the art classroom just now, and then thought about the mannequin that looked like it had been skinned, and shuddered suddenly.

   Then she moved her toes forward, came to the place where she was just a step away from hitting Jiang Xia, raised her tender little arms, and silently hugged Jiang Xia's legs.

... She would rather be beaten by brother Jiang Xia than be eaten by that terrifying model, or be torn off a layer of skin by it and turned into the same kind... Compared with the strange legend, at least brother Jiang Xia is better looking, and He does not kill.

   Jiang Xia inexplicably picked up a temporary attendant.

   He looked at Ayumi, who was not making any noise or making a fuss, and was so scared that her legs were weak. He felt that a bear child of this level was acceptable, so he bent down and picked up the child.

After   , Jiang Xia looked down at his long shadow in the dim light, and found that after adding Bumei, the outline of his shadow instantly expanded deformed, and he nodded secretly with satisfaction.

   In fact, let Bumei ride on the neck, the scary effect should be better.

   But this kid seems to be wearing a skirt today... Forget it.

   Facing the shadow on the ground, after adjusting his hugging posture, Jiang Xia planned to continue following to see the current situation of the three children.

   However, when he looked up, he saw "Amuro Toru" beside him frowning slightly, thinking of something.

   Seeing Jiang Xia looking at her, Belmod, who was wrapped in murderous intent, whispered, "I also saw the opposite window through the crack of the door just now. There is indeed a mannequin facing this side and sticking to the window, but..."

  Speaking of this, she pointed to the corridor at right angles to here through two windows.

  According to her observation just now, the figure following the children was hiding behind the side window.

   In other words, someone else moved the mannequin.

  ——In this not too big teaching building, besides them, there are actually two people hiding.

   Jiang Xia frowned slightly after hearing this, keeping a high degree of synchronization with Belmode.

   But then, while Belmod was not paying attention, he glanced at her suspiciously.

  ...He thought that according to Belmod's concern for her coolguy, when she found a dangerous sign, she would rush over as soon as possible to avoid Conan's misfortune. He didn't expect Belmod to be calm.

   Is the mother-child tutoring of the black-clothed organization different, or is it the result of her rational consideration?

   The latter actually has some truth - he and Belmod have been hiding very well, so in Belmod's view, in the eyes of the person who followed Conan, there should be only him and a few children in the school.

  So if the follower has the idea of ​​killing, then he can pick up the mop and rush over to kill, there is no need to scare people around.

Belmod may feel that if she rushes over in such a not fatal situation and exposes her goodwill towards Conan to Uzo, who is in the same organization, she will lose a lot of advantages - even if she is now facing Amuro This kind of behavior will also make Wu Zuo beside him suspicious, and while doubting her attitude towards children, he will take off her waistcoat by the way.

   Belmod endured very hard.

   Because of this, the murderous aura on her body also gradually increased unknowingly.

   Jiang Xia watched silently, her mood kept +1, and she continued to lead Bumei to the health room.

   Although there was a little anxiety on his face that forced him to pretend not to be anxious, but in reality there was no turbulence in his heart.

   After all, based on what happened tonight, Jiang Xia had already guessed which incident it was.

  ——Two sneaky "bad guys" in the shadows, one is the dean with only a wig in his eyes.

  The other is Conan and their new class teacher, Sumiko Kobayashi.

   Mr. Kobayashi's appearance is very similar to that of Police Officer Sato, but his inner personality is completely different.

   In comparison, Kobayashi Sumiko is more introverted and weak, and she is very nervous about the upcoming parent meeting.

So every night, she sneaks into the school, uses mannequins and plaster statues, and some dolls in the classroom, makes them act as students and parents, and conducts parent-teacher meeting exercises... Well, in another sense Said, this is actually a very courageous person, a woman who deserves to be the same model as Officer Sato.
