Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 694 The perverted ghost

   As for the camera equipment, Jiang Xia picked it up and looked at it, and then threw it away without installing it. He doesn't really want to be photographed, whether it's the vest or the body. Fortunately, neither the participants nor the organization are law-abiding institutions, and they don't pay attention to the supremacy of physical evidence, nor do they like to suspect a crime.

   It is enough to have a recording related to Mianguan Tatsusan.

  …

   Now, Jiang Xia feels that since there are recording equipment hidden around, it means that the conversation between himself and Amuro Toru and Mian Guan Chensan will be recorded and listened to again.

  I don't know who is listening to the recording. One thing's for sure, though, the more people who know who their organization's members are, the more likely things go wrong.

   "Jiangxia is a peripheral member", although not many people know about it like "Jiangxia is a Wuzuo", but it is best not to spread it more.

   So facing Mian Guan Chensan who wanted to delay time, Jiang Xia gave a considerate and cooperative attitude.

   Like a normal detective, at a critical juncture, he prioritized revealing his reasoning to the murderer, and the flow of time seemed to slow down:

   "Of course not surprised. Because the deceased is already in his handbook, leaving your name.

"He always writes his name as 'ホヅミ', because according to normal habits, if it is written in Chinese characters, many people can't read that surname - the list of staff members that the police asked for from the "Winter Maple Red" crew, there is actually no Error. 'August 1st' is not the date mixed in, but the name of the deceased. His surname is 'August 1st' and his given name is 'One'.

  “‘ホヅミ’ surnames are usually written as ‘Suiji’. However, in the past, the first day of August was often the season for harvesting rice, so there were also rare surnames with the spelling of ‘August 1st’.

"Similarly, there's the surname 'April 1st', and in April, when the weather gets warmer, people take the cotton out of their clothes... Yes, that's the same surname as your 'Mianguan' This is why Mr. August 1st left a bloodstain on 'April 1st' before he died.

"Ordinary people may not understand these pronunciations very well. But with a rare surname such as Mr. August 1st, it is inevitable that they will be interested in the same kind and know the relevant pronunciation. When you killed him, did he break a secret that cannot be revealed, such as ... this pile of bones under our feet?"

  Mian Guanchen had sweat dripping from his three foreheads. Although he had long planned to silence the two people who had seen the corpses in front of him, but like now, his own thoughts and flaws, the feeling of being opened up and analyzed by language, is very bad.

  The killing intent in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, but he didn't dare to move because he didn't know where his helper was.

   At this moment, Mian Guanchen's three ears moved slightly, and found that someone was approaching.

   He pretended to wipe off his sweat, turned his head slightly, and saw a burly figure—under the moonlight, he could see a string of fluorite pendants on his neck, reflecting the white light faintly.

  Mian Guanchen San was overjoyed. This was the accessory of one of his little bosses. Because of the bright colors, he was deeply impressed. Since the leader of the nearby group has come over, there must be other younger brothers behind. Just now, I raised my voice to summon my subordinates, and it really took effect!

   came to help, and Mian Guan Chensan immediately straightened his back.

The smile at the corner of his mouth also became cold again: "Little detective, you are indeed very keen, but unfortunately that 'April 1st' message before his death cannot be used as evidence at all, because it may just be that guy just grabbed his hand before he died. Account - it is only now that you express your reasoning, because you know this in your heart, so you have to fish me out first?"

   Jiang Xia did not speak.

Mian Guanchen San felt that this young man was intimidated by his aura, and his speech became smoother, and he applauded: "It's a good plan, the bait you put out is also tempting enough. It's a pity that before fishing, you should weigh yourself carefully - can a thin fishing rod like you catch a shark like me?"

   He sneered: "It's a pity that you are a very talented young man, but you saw something you shouldn't see - hehe, do you know why I didn't deal with that corpse earlier?"

   As soon as he finished speaking, the young detective opposite had a "what kind of problem" tone: "Because you are getting older, your memory has deteriorated, and you have forgotten where it was buried."

   "..." Mian Guanchen's three foreheads jumped. The "corpse" he said was obviously referring to the unfortunate "August 1st and 1st", but what Jiang Xia said was the white bone buried five years ago in front of him.

  ... Forgetting the position is indeed his huge mistake; the power is increasing but he is too old, and it is indeed a scar in Mian Guan Chensan's heart. However, when he glanced coldly at Jiang Xia, he met Jiang Xia's peaceful and serious look. Mian Guanchen San was slightly startled, and for a while it was difficult to determine whether this unpleasant young man did it on purpose, or whether he was so concerned about the bones under his feet that he really confused the two.

  Huh, but it doesn't matter, it's a death anyway.

Mian Guanchensan pretended not to hear the words that had been demolished just now, and maintained his ruthlessness, asking and answering his own questions: "It's because there are some things that can only be done easily after dark. And I haven't done physical work for a long time. It's not easy to do it myself, so I found my subordinates to help me with these boring jobs-"

As he said that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "I'm afraid their actions later will be very rough, because you have increased the workload for them to deal with corpses. It's not a good thing to be too curious, but it's a pity that you We can only bring this knowledge point into heaven.”

   Having said that, no matter how you look at it, at this time, you should dodge the thousands of troops that Mian Guanchen San called from behind trees, bushes, and the shadows of late night.

   In Mian Guan Chen San's peripheral vision, the fluorite light that symbolized the helper was indeed approaching.

   The bushes were slammed aside, and the burly and powerful little leader strode out.

   Amuro Toru looked at him, stunned for a moment, and took a step back subconsciously, looking a little shocked.

   Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then took a step back, synchronizing his reaction with that of a normal person.

   The next second, the little leader who made his debut with a slack, suddenly fell to the feet of Mian Guanchen, making the old man tremble.

   The little leader raised his head laboriously, revealing a face covered in blue and purple. His face was slightly swollen, and his voice was sobbing: "Boss, run away! We...we have encountered a pervert..."

   After conveying this vital information, his hands fell and his raised head lowered, like a tragic hero who has finally completed his mission.

  ...If it wasn't for his lack of pants, the scene might have been even more tragic.

  “…”

   The three of them looked at the loyal younger brother who fell to the ground. No one spoke for a while, only the wind rustled the leaves and rustled.
