Conan's Corpse Picker

Conan came back to his senses under the weird gazes of the other three. He looked at Jiang Xia with an awkward voice and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to like Sherlock Holmes too. No wonder the case was solved so quickly."

Jiang Xia: "..." Although I don't understand what Holmes has to do with solving the case.But he remembered Conan just said "also".

It seems that Conan really won the invitation.

Jiang Xia was immediately relieved.

After listening to their conversation, Dr. Ali saw the date on the invitation letter, and looked at Conan confused: "But this day... isn't it scheduled to go to my uncle's villa for treasure hunting with the children?"

The Boy Detectives are relatively familiar with each other. After they got acquainted with Conan, they often followed Conan to play with Dr. Ali.Dr. Ali also likes this group of energetic children. Seeing them discussing and wanting to do a big business all day long, the doctor bought some toys with his own money, hid them in his uncle's old villa, and twisted them. He tried his best to arrange some secret signals, intending to report a "treasure hunt" game.

Conan froze slightly when he remembered that such a thing had indeed happened.

He struggled with "Friendship" and "Sherlock Holmes" for 0.1 second, and decisively released a dove of peace: "How about changing the time, or let Huiyuan go together?"

Conan is not interested in Dr. Ali's treasures and puzzles, and now his mind is full of Sherlock Holmes collections.

The villa is some distance away.Dr. Ali has no other empty schedules in the near future, so he can only accept Conan's last proposal and look at Haibara Ai.

The doctor brought Conan there because he wanted to use Conan as the last insurance—in case the children couldn't find his gift, they couldn't really let the children return empty-handed, and an insider had to lead them to solve the mystery.

Now that Conan doesn't go, Haibara Ai becomes the doctor's hope.

Feeling the sight of the old man begging for help, Hui Yuanai sighed and closed the book in his hand: "Okay."

Jiang Xia looked at Conan, then at Hui Yuanai, lost in thought.

... The division of troops into two groups was beyond his expectation.

Normally, having to choose between ghosts and murderous aura is already heavy enough, but now he is asked to do this kind of additional questions.

Jiang Xia actually had an impression of the villa treasure hunt that Dr. A Li mentioned—he remembered that a craftsman died of illness in the attic of that villa, and he has not been found so far.

At the same time, because the craftsman has a set of counterfeit banknote templates, there is a villain with a gun who has been wandering around the villa.

Jiang Xia doesn't know whether craftsmen will fall into ghosts.But he knew that the gun-wielding villain must have murderous intent.

And for the Doctor and the Boy Detectives, the gunmen are a bit dangerous. If you are not careful, the case detectors who went to the treasure hunt may be gone.

On the other hand, in the journey of Sherlock Holmes, there will be serial murders...

In Jiang Xia's heart, heaven and man are at war.

However, when Hui Yuan asked about the location of Dr.'s villa, Jiang Xia eavesdropped, and suddenly found that Dr. Ali's villa was not too far from the venue of Sherlock Holmes' trip.

In other words, this turned out to be a rare multiple-choice question—as long as he made good use of the double-opening questions and operated them properly, he could ask for them all.

After reaching this conclusion, Jiang Xia returned home with peace of mind.

……

On the day when Sherlock Holmes' trip started, Jiang Xia arrived early at the meeting place given by the organizer, and then got into the van provided by the organizer there.

Chapter 144 Hattori Heiji's Disaster

When Jiang Xia arrived, Conan and Mao Lilan were already in the car.

Kogoro Mori didn't come, Jiang Xia was not surprised by this result - Yoko Kinoshita had a concert today.

The Sherlock Holmes tour has been held for many times, and it is relatively well-known among relevant people. Although the scale is small, it can barely be regarded as a formal event.In addition, Mori Kogoro heard that Jiang Xia would also go, and there was support from both sides, so he decisively chose Kinoshita Yoko just like Conan chose Sherlock Holmes.

Besides Jiang Xia and the others, there were four other people in the car.Of course, there were more than these people who participated in Holmes' trip-in addition to this car, there was another car that went to Kansai to pick up people.

The vehicle drove into a deep mountain and stopped beside a cliff.

There is a three-story building here, which is a hotel.This is the venue for Sherlock Holmes Tours.The owner of the hotel is also the host of the event.

Jiang Xia got out of the car with her luggage on her back, glanced at the garage, and found that another car had arrived, that is to say, other people should be gathered in the lobby of the hotel at this time.

He entered the hall with anticipation, and as expected, he saw a stranger covered in murderous looks.

Jiang Xia's eyes stopped on this person for a moment, and then looked to the corner again.Standing in the corner was a high school student detective wearing a baseball cap and dark skin—Heiji Hattori also came.

Jiang Xia was immediately relieved.

Both Conan and Hattori have gathered here, and this Holmes trip is destined to be uneventful.

And with so many people involved, it has far exceeded the scale of an ordinary murder case where one of the three can be selected... Hattori Heiji's added physique to the serial murder case is really well-deserved.

……

The owner of the hotel is a middle-aged man named Jin Gu. He is overweight and wears a Sherlock Holmes cosplay suit.

Jin Gu welcomed the guests who came to the event, and then began to announce the schedule of the competition.

Jiang Xia was listening, but suddenly felt that Xiaobai's hair was gently tugged. He lowered his head, and saw Xiaobai pointing to the door as if complaining.

Jiang Xia looked over, and saw Hattori Heiji pushed down the brim of his hat behind the crowd, and then the man walked towards the door lightly, as if trying to get away.

A while ago, Hattori Heiji went to Tokyo full of passion, intending to compete with the high school detectives in Tokyo.However, the evenly matched and hearty competition in the imagination did not exist at all, and he was brutally crushed in the best case-solving aspect.

It may be because of the large gap between the front and the back. After Hattori Heiji returned to Osaka, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that life was boring, and he couldn't even solve the case.In order to get out of this trough, he thought about it and felt that he still needed to find a soul rival to compete with each other and make progress together.

Of course, Jiang Xia was the first to be excluded as a candidate for this opponent.

Afterwards, Hattori Heiji chose among the remaining high school detectives, and found that Kudo Shinichi was the one who suited him the most.

Although there are gossip that Kudo Shinichi has been killed, Hattori Heiji personally went to Mori's house before and learned from Mori Rana that Kudo Shinichi would sometimes call her.

Mao Lilan said that Kudo Shinichi never asked her recent situation on the phone. At first glance, this sounded like a scumbag with Mo's feelings, but Hattori Heiji speculated from this that Kudo Shinichi was not only not dead, on the contrary, he was very It may be hidden near Mao Lilan, and I can see Mao Lilan's situation with my own eyes, so I don't ask too much.

If so, it must not be difficult to find someone.

In addition, Hattori Heiji has a little more thoughtfulness.

——Jiang Xia once invited him to transfer from Osaka to Tokyo, that is to say, Jiang Xia is also looking for a suitable opponent.

But Jiang Xia did not go to find Kudo Shinichi nearby, but instead came to find him, the Osaka detective. This shows that Kudo Shinichi "disappeared" very successfully, and Jiang Xia must not know where Kudo Shinichi is.

...Since this is the case, if he finds out Kudo Shinichi who is hiding first, and rounds it up, doesn't it mean that he has won over Jiang Xia?

When Hattori Heiji thought of this at the time, he felt hopeful and full of energy in his life.

As for how to find it... As we all know, Kudo Shinichi is a Sherlock Holmes fan.In addition, in Hattori Heiji's view, such things as "using the brain" are also addictive-since Kudo Shinichi was forced by Jiang Xia to be unable to solve the case properly, he will definitely release his overly active thinking in other ways, such as participating in The journey of Sherlock Holmes, compete with other normal people.

That's why Hattori Heiji signed up for this Sherlock Holmes trip.

However, he never expected that after coming here, he would see Jiang Xia in the crowd before seeing Kudo Shinichi's shadow.

At that moment, Hattori Heiji was in a bad mood.

In the past, in order to investigate Jiang Xia's level of solving crimes, he collected a lot of information related to Jiang Xia, but he had never heard of the news that "Jiang Xia likes Sherlock Holmes".

After Hattori Heiji was shocked, he had a vague guess.Perhaps Jiang Xia came here to catch Kudou Shinichi—look, Jiang Xia not only came here by himself, he also abducted Kudou's girlfriend.

If it is to concentrate on the competition, there is no need to bring a classmate who is not familiar with Holmes. In other words, Jiang Xia's move may be to force Kudo out of the dark.

Hattori Heiji himself has a green plum who grew up with him - Toyama Kazuha.At this moment, he couldn't help substituting it in, thinking about what if Jiang Xia took Yuan Shan and Ye out to play in order to catch him... Suddenly, his back shuddered.

...too insidious.

No one can hold back their heads.

Jiang Xia is really not as harmless as he looks, on the contrary, this is a hidden level demon who will do anything to find his opponent.

But now, Kudo didn't show up...

Hattori Heiji thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong.

No matter what reason Kudo refused to show up for, this would lead to a result - besides the two of them, there was no third high school student detective present, and Jiang Xia would definitely turn his attention to Hattori Heiji.

After realizing this, Hattori Heiji decisively decided to run away.

He had no interest in Holmes in the first place.Now, since Kudou can't be found, and Jiang Xia might be following him, he certainly has no reason to stay.

However, just as Hattori Heiji tiptoed to the door, his arm suddenly sank and he was grabbed from behind.

Jiang Xia's joyful voice came from behind, with a very happy look: "Coincidentally, you also signed up for this event - it hasn't started yet, why do you want to leave suddenly?"

Hattori Heiji, who was only one step away from the door: "..."

He glanced at the blue free sky outside with tears in his eyes, quickly collected his emotions, and turned around as if nothing had happened: "...I don't want to leave, I just think the air at the door is better."

Chapter 145 Repatriation home... Is there such a good thing?

Damn, it was just one step away, and it was actually seen.Hattori Heiji clenched his fist unwillingly.

Having said that, he obviously didn't make any movement just now, and Jiang Xia has been looking at the innkeeper in front of him, with his back turned to him, but just as he was about to leave, Jiang Xia actually found out, this terrible intuition and insight...

If Jiang Xia hadn't seen it, Hattori Heiji could of course slip away without any pressure.

But now, since Jiang Xia found out that he was there, if he left again, it would be as if he was hiding from Jiang Xia on purpose, and he would always feel ashamed.

The murderous and unashamed Osaka high school student detective had a fierce ideological struggle, and finally decided to stay on the scene.And he comforted himself in his heart—at worst, when Jiang Xia invited him to Tokyo, he firmly refused with reasons such as "I prefer Osaka".

In addition, Hattori Heiji thought that Kazuha is a very principled girl, even if Jiang Xia stared at him like Kudo, Kazuha would definitely not run out to play with Jiang Xia easily like Kudo's girlfriend.

Mao Lilan was listening carefully just now, and when she turned her head, she found that Jiang Xia had walked to the door and was standing with Hattori Heiji, so she also came over, wanting to say hello to someone she knew.

However, as soon as he got closer, he inexplicably received an extremely complicated line of sight from Hattori Heiji.

Mao Lilan stopped in a daze, and touched Rua Conan's head casually.She observed Jiang Xia, who was obviously in a good mood, and Hattori Heiji, who was obviously full of vigilance, and wondered why this Osaka detective looked so unfriendly... I hope Jiang Xia will not be affected.

……

After Boss Jingu finished explaining the rules, he sent a stack of Sherlock Holmes 1000 questions to the visitors.

Only those who have answered more than 990 questions correctly and handed in the paper before tomorrow's dinner can participate in the reasoning question-and-answer session the next night.

"And if you can't reach 990 points——" Boss Jin Gu put away his smile and changed his expression coldly, "Get out of my hotel immediately. Such unscrupulous people have no right to stay here."

The guests looked stagnant.Although they were all very confident in themselves, it was inevitable that they would complain about such ruthless words.

Only Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up slightly.To be honest, he thought...

However, just after the light was turned on, he found Jiang Xia Youyou who was next to him looked over.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

He forcibly suppressed his expectant look, changed into a displeased look, and complained: "It's really strict."

Hattori Heiji's sentence is purely out of words.

However, Boss Jin Gu is very strict, which is true. Jin Gu continued: "If you cheat, you will be scored as 0 points. In addition, monitoring and bugging devices are installed in each room. I hope everyone will be more conscious when answering the questions."
