Conan's Corpse Picker

After turning around for a while, the black Porsche slammed into a small road and stopped.

——According to Vodka's calculations, after such a pursuit, he could just turn his defense into an offense and block the car that was trying to track them in this remote corner, so as to facilitate silence or press questions.

However, as soon as the car stopped, when he was about to pull out his gun and get out of the car aggressively, he saw that the dead end in front of him was empty, and there was no sign of the "stalker" at all.

Vodka looked around and found that there was no one around: "Brother..." It must be that the group of followers were too timid to come over...

Gin made no sound, and he looked around from under the brim of his hat.

After a while, still no one came, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Let's go."

The car drove away again.

Both of them looked very skilled, and they didn't feel embarrassed by fighting against the air, which may have been experienced countless times before.

Jiang Xia expressed understanding, this is normal, don't be suspicious, gin and vodka may have been arrested by groups of undercover agents long ago.

Jiang Xia also pretended to be not surprised, pretending that this was just an ordinary defense.

However, he remembered the car keys he picked up for Bai Cangyang just now, and vaguely guessed what was going on.

Bai Cangyang's key happened to belong to Toyota.The car that Qin Jiu noticed was "tracking" them was probably Bai Cangyang's car.

Both sides are rushing to Hirota Masami's house, and it's normal to drop by.

In Jiang Xia's impression, Bai Cangyang recently received an invitation from a column called "The Surprising Side of Models". The requirement for participation is to provide a photo that fits the theme.

After thinking about it, Bai Cangyang finally remembered that when he was in college, he once took a photo of a woman wearing heavy makeup at an event.He immediately felt that this was very suitable - Bai Cangyang had undergone plastic surgery before, if he used other ordinary photos, it might expose his dark history.

Bai Cangyang didn't have the habit of saving photos, but he remembered that Professor Hirota had them at home, so he wrote to ask for photos.

However, in the reply letter sent to him by Masami Hirota, he did not put the photo of the women's clothing he wanted, but put a photo of Bai Cangyang's ordinary appearance before, and attached the text: "This is your real face."

Bai Cangyang tore up the photo angrily, deeply feeling that he was being ridiculed.But he had submitted the "photos of women's clothing in college" before, and if he changed the content temporarily, he couldn't think of a more suitable photo for a while, so he decided to visit Professor Hirota's house in person.Face-to-face visits are more sincere, and face-to-face communication is usually more friendly than across the Internet.That's why he's here today.

……

Vodka showed off his driving skills, but failed to catch anyone.On the way to Professor Hirota's house, he was more cautious than before, but he found no other "stalkers" along the way.

The three arrived near Professor Hirota's house smoothly.

As soon as I arrived at the intersection, before I could get close, I suddenly saw someone walking out of Masami Hirota's house carrying a bag of things, and then that person walked away quickly along the street.

The person who came out was Bai Cangyang. As he walked, he wiped his forearm heavily with a wet towel, and looked down at his trouser legs and soles from time to time, as if he was afraid of splashing something.

Under the halo of the street lamp, you can see some blood stains on the wet wipes, but there is no wound on Bai Cangyang's arm - it's not his blood, but he got it from somewhere else.

... No matter how you look at it, it looks like he hastily fled the scene after killing someone.

As soon as Jiang Xia looked over, his gaze fell precisely on the fresh shikigami on Bai Cangyang's legs.

He was about to get out of the car to pick up ghosts, and take back the information in Bai Cangyang's hands by the way, taking care of public and private interests.

But at this time, Gin next to him clicked the gun and pointed it at him - he recognized that Bai Cangyang happened to be the one who was talking to Jiang Xia near the station.

Gin felt a little coincidental.Their target was Hirota Masami, and Jiang Xia had contact with Bai Cangyang on the front foot, and Bai Cangyang came here to kill Hirota Masami on the back foot.This is not Tokyo, but Shizuoka, which is about three hours' drive away from Tokyo. Jiang Xia usually has no reason to contact these two people.

Qin Jiu looked at Jiang Xia coldly: "Did you know our plan for today?"

"I don't know." Jiang Xia had already adapted to Qin Jiu's behavior of pointing guns around all day long when he was working part-time - even if it was just an ordinary greeting, Qin Jiu might be secretly aiming the gun at the muzzle people, let alone when in doubt.

He adapted well, and said calmly: "I just felt that his mentality was very tense, like the kind of person who was hesitant on the edge of the bottom line, so I gave him a hand."

Chapter 140 Bumping into an Unknown One

Qin Jiu replayed the situation tonight in his mind, especially the scene of Jiang Xia and Bai Cangyang getting along before, and lowered his gun: "...you really like to cast a net everywhere."

When Jiang Xia left the sushi restaurant last time, he left a ghost in the house and eavesdropped secretly, so he basically figured out the dark black design that Gin Jiu worked so hard to make up for him.

He sighed, and said helplessly: "I can't help it. I'm not one of those famous detectives who are born with an incident physique. If you want to achieve your goal, you have to take more detours than others."

Vodka: "..." Why do you have to say such a crazy thing so inspirational?Do you still expect us to praise you?

Just as he was thinking about it, Gin Jiu nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his tone: "Indeed."

Vodka: "..."

Big Brother, Big Brother, take a closer look, this is simply a pervert who kills people indiscriminately!

Gin doesn't often kill civilians, but that's not because of morality, but to minimize the presence of the organization and avoid getting into trouble for the organization.

If Jiang Xia is the kind of killer who is keen to run into the streets in the middle of the night and randomly grab lucky victims, he will definitely take care of them, because this kind of reckless hunting behavior can easily expose their existence.

But now, Jiang Xia just moved his mouth.Even if someone doubts, it is difficult to find evidence, so as not to add chaos to the organization.

And from Qin Jiu's point of view, Jiang Xia's method of obtaining qualifications can be said to have achieved remarkable results.In such a short time, he has changed from an ordinary high school student to a well-known detective.

Qin Jiu dispelled the suspicion inside, and looked at Bai Cangyang who hadn't noticed them yet and was getting closer: "The bag in his hand has a strange printed shape, take it here and have a look."

With that said, Gin Jiu got out of the car and went into a hidden place beside him.

……

Bai Cangyang looked around his body with a guilty conscience, for fear of leaving bloodstains.

——Just now he asked Professor Hirota for a photo of women's clothing, but Professor Hirota said that he forgot which disk the photo of women's clothing is stored in, and said with a smile, "If it was the photo I sent you before, I can immediately Find it out, how about I send it directly to the editorial department for you?"

In the photo he mentioned, it was Bai Cangyang's appearance before plastic surgery.

To Bai Cangyang's ears, this was completely threatening and ironic.He suddenly became angry, picked up the decorations in the room, and shot Professor Hirota in the back pose.

After calming down, Bai Cangyang looked at the corpse on the ground, and his desire to survive caused his small universe to explode in an instant—he took away all the disks, and hurriedly arranged the death scene as a semi-finished secret room where "Professor Hirota was accidentally killed by a bookshelf", and then I plan to steal the disk and hide it first, and then come back to make the second half of the secret room.

Bai Cangyang wiped off the blood splattered on his forearm, and continued walking towards the parking lot in the gloomy night.

At this time, a man came from across the street, walked past him, and walked towards the vending machine.

It was getting late, and this section of the road happened to be in the darkest place beside the street lights. Bai Cangyang didn't see the passerby's face clearly, so he went around him and wanted to continue walking.

But the moment the two passed by, the "passer-by" suddenly raised his hand and grabbed him by the collar, and swung him into a hiding place by the bridge.

The "passer-by" is of course Jiang Xia, and the outlines of the other two are too obvious.

Bai Cangyang was thrown to the ground so hard that the mud seemed to shake.Vodka silently glanced at the nosebleed that splashed on his shoe, and followed it with a slight tremor.

Logically speaking, this scene is actually not too bloody, and to them, it can even be considered harmonious.

But I don't know why, when some things are in Jiang Xia's hands, it seems to be even more scary.

Vodka thought about it seriously, and felt that he understood - no matter how cruel the other accomplices are, they are also cruel to the outside world, and they will not attack their own people who have not made mistakes, especially him who drives honestly.But a pervert who takes pleasure in instigating murder is different...

Gin doesn't have as many emotions as vodka, but is only satisfied with Jiang Xia's neat grasp.He knelt down and grabbed Bai Cangyang's hair, raised his face, and asked about the situation.

When Bai Cangyang fell, the bag in his hand also fell to the side, and a bunch of disks crashed out of it——Bai Cangyang wasn't sure which one contained his photo, so he simply took them all away.

Jiang Xia secretly grabbed the Shikigami on Bai Cangyang's leg, but found that it was still not loose, so she had to let go first, and handed over the interrogation work to Qin Jiu.

He himself went to the side of the vodka to check the bag of disks on the ground together.

After flipping aimlessly for a while, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.

——According to the spoiler in his hands, not long after Professor Hirota died, Conan, Haibara Ai and the doctor arrived.They also come for the disk.

The reality and the spoiler are somewhat different, Jiang Xia doesn't know if these three people will come today.But he figured he'd better be more careful.

Otherwise, if Conan and the others really came to look for the disk, happened to pass by here, and happened to see him standing next to the gin and vodka, looking like a good friend...then the vest would fall off.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia secretly let the illusory shikigami fly out of the street, condensing into a puppet of Wutiangu in the blind spot of vision.

After that, his main body hung up temporarily, and his consciousness drove the puppet to fly to the sky to observe the surrounding situation.

This place is not in the center of the city, the night sky is very dark, the dog's clothes and hair are all black, and the wings are also black.Fly a little higher, and after leaving the range of street lights, it is not easy to be found.

Gin is currently concentrating on interrogating Bai Cangyang, while Jiang Xia's body is browsing the disk with Vodka.

Just now Jiang Xia found out that he was completely paddling - he didn't know which disk the organization wanted and what it looked like.

And when he was distracted just now, he stopped for a while, not only did Vodka not have the slightest opinion on his passive sabotage, on the contrary, after Jiang Xia took his hand away from the bag, Vodka's movements seemed to be smoother.

So it should be able to hang up safely.Even if there is a problem, the big deal is to come back as soon as possible.

……

Originally, Jiang Xia's observation of the surroundings was just to be on the safe side and act cautiously.

But what Jiang Xia didn't expect was that he actually saw a Beetle on the road - Dr. A Li's favorite car.

Jiang Xia hovered in the air, looked down at the route below, and found that according to this situation, it would not be long before the doctor and the trio in black suddenly met by the bridge.

...Even if the three of them hid in the corner and were not easily seen, Gin's Porsche 356A was still parked nearby.When the time came to pass by that car, Haibara was terrified, and Conan questioned + observed... It didn't feel very good.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia picked a place to drop, and decided to take a simple and effective way to prevent the doctor from moving forward.The method is very simple - touch porcelain.

Chapter 141 I'm a Shark, You Catch Me

Considering that suddenly bumping into something with wings in the middle of the night would easily destroy the world view of the protagonists, Jiang Xia considerately switched the vest used for touching porcelain to Akemi Miyano.

He looked at the approaching car, adjusted the weight of the puppet, picked a time when the speed was not high, and ran to the front of the car quickly and steadily.

Dr. Ali was concentrating on listening to the Haihara Ai popular science disk. During the period, because Conan said thoughtfully, "I always feel that the name 'Hirota Masami' sounds familiar", Dr. Ali glanced at Conan. , and asked "Huh?" very talented.

As a result, just by turning his face away, when he raised his head again, there was suddenly a figure in front of the car.

Dr. A Li was shocked and stepped on the brakes in a hurry, but the man was too close.In an instant, the car body shook violently, and the person in front of the car was knocked out and rolled into the lush weeds by the river—this road happened to be next to a river.

The car screeched to a stop, and the three people in the car stared at the flattened front of the car, and they all froze.

After a while, Hui Yuan Ai was the first to react.Her face turned pale, she pushed open the car door and ran out of the car, standing on the embankment and looking at the lush weeds that were taller than her below, trying to find where the person who was knocked into the air just fell fell.

Conan followed immediately.He turned on the flashlight to shine on the grass, and at the same time glanced at Hui Yuanai next to him, keenly feeling that her reaction was a little strange.

It's normal to feel panic and worry when the car hits someone suddenly, but as a former member of the organization, even if she's just a researcher, Haibara Ai's reaction at this time is a bit too big.

Conan guessed: "Do you know the person who was hit just now?"

Conan doesn't know if Haibara Ai recognizes her or not.But Conan recognized it anyway—the long black dress, the same-color wide-brimmed hat, the tattoo under the right eye, and the undamaged appearance under the pale headlights from bottom to top... No matter how you look at it, it looks like an anonymous person .

Theoretically speaking, Conan also felt very anxious when he bumped into someone suddenly.

But in fact, deep in Conan's heart, he always felt that Anonymous would not die just like this—that is the god who can survive jumping off the Shinkansen with a bomb in his arms, or jumping off the top of a [-]-meter-high tower. Man, just getting hit by a car right now... well, "just" isn't the right word.In short, her vitality is so tenacious, she should still be alive at this time.If you send it to the doctor in time, it will not lead to a big mistake.

Haibara Ai did not answer Conan's question.She also recognized that the person hit was Anonymous - after all, he was a very famous person, and Anonymous had disrupted Gin Jiu's extermination plan. Many people in the organization knew about her, including Hui Yuanai.

From the first time Hui Yuanai saw the photo of Anonymous, she felt that this person was kind of kind.Until just now, she finally understood why she had that thought—the moment the headlights illuminated Anon, she saw his side face, and from that angle, Anon looked very much like her sister.
