Conan's Corpse Picker

Toru Amuro had no special reaction to this.

The suspicion of Conan in his heart has long been full, and now the remedy is not remedied, the result is the same, just wait for Kazami Yuya to check the household registration and find out the result.

Toru Amuro silently looked away from Conan, and looked around the empty rest station: "Where are the others?"

Mao Lilan said: "After you rushed out, some people said that the mountain was very dangerous, so they suggested looking separately. I walked for a while, accidentally got lost and went back to the original place, and vaguely heard movement in the house. When I came back, I saw... ..."

Her eyes stopped on the dead woman and she sighed.

Jiang Xia also sighed, Lu Chi still dared to go into the mountains to find someone... Fortunately, Mao Lilan was lucky enough, and went back to the starting point in a daze.

He looked towards the corner where the luggage was piled up: "One backpack is missing."

——The climbing couple originally carried a pair of couple bags, one blue and one red, stacked side by side next to their bedding.

But at this time, the blue bag disappeared, leaving only a pink one.

Combined with the wool on the hands of the dead woman...

"It should be the man who killed her and ran away with the bag in a hurry." Conan remembered that when they were on the road, the lovers covered their bags carefully, not daring others to see what was inside the bag.

Chapter 502

Now it seems that there should be something very heavy in the bag that would hinder the escape, otherwise the man would not just carry one and leave the other.

As for what's inside...

Combined with the news he heard last night, Conan vaguely speculated.

As a child who seemed to be only 7 years old, Conan consciously took on the responsibility of violating the law and discipline—he walked over and opened the dead man's bag.

Seeing what was exposed inside, he was slightly taken aback.

——The bag is full of stacks of [-]-yen bills.The corners were stained with blackened blood, and some piles were more than half soaked.As soon as the waterproof backpack was opened, a rotten smell rushed towards him, and Conan covered his nose and stepped back a little.

Jiang Xia passed him and looked at the money inside:

"I remember the news just now that the victim of the burglary was the leader of a violent gang, and he was robbed of a total of [-] million yen in cash... It seems that's all."

[-] million yen is enough for Gin Jiu to do a vote himself, and I don't know if it can be exchanged for a task list if it is handed over to the organization.

It's a pity that Toru Amuro is right next to him. The money can only be handed over to the police, and then returned to the heir of the leader of the gang, depending on the situation. It always feels a bit wasteful...

Um?and many more.

Strictly speaking, "Uzo" also happens to be on the hill right now.

Jiang Xia, who is serious about being a detective and intends to leave the organization and become a good person, of course cannot do such a thing of following criminals to collect money.

...but Uzo can.

Speaking of which, if you want the "fake Uzo" to act instead of him and use the organization's resources in the future, you must first introduce the puppet constructed by Matsuda Jinpei—the virtual person named "Xitu" to the organization, or more Introducing to Gin, to be precise.

Although in Jiang Xia's view, the puppet will never leak secrets.

But for the organization, especially for Qinjiu, which pays great attention to confidentiality, Jiang Xia's behavior of suddenly recruiting an outsider to replace "Uzuo" in the organization, and even share some of the authority of "Uzuo" , undoubtedly leaked the organization's information to unrelated people.

If Qin Jiu is too rigid about the rules, he will shoot Xitu to death as soon as they meet, and then arrange an "elite" who can be trusted by the organization to come over and help Jiang Xia... Then Jiang Xia won't be able to do so with the new vest It came in handy.

In addition, there may be one more insider who knows his identity as an undercover agent, who is forced to expose his vest—Jiang Xia really can't believe the organization and Gin Jiu's vision of picking "elites".

So it's better to bring some greetings to the door.

——The last time in Tottori Prefecture, after his puppet sank the organization's ship, Gin's murderous aura was significantly more evident, which shows that Gin still cares about the organization's funds.

Human behavior is inevitably affected by mood.

If he brought [-] million yen with him when introducing "Xitu", maybe Qin Jiu would not only accept the tool man he found, but also send him a long-lost assassination list, let him see which cases can be solved to rub...

For Jiang Xia, [-] million yen is not much.

Leaving aside the remuneration for being a detective, part-time job, and recording programs; the hundreds of millions he got during the Maple Leaf Gold Coin incident before were not spent at all.And recently, Jiang Xia successively dug up several trucks of gold from the boss's hometown - Twilight Villa, the money was too much to worry about.

... But the source of the money cannot be told to the organization.

The former, Anonymous has come forward.

The latter... Such things as poaching the corners of the boss's house, of course they must be covered if they can be covered.

Unlike the cash in front of me.

The money in front of you can be thrown to the organization as soon as you get it, and the source of the money can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, which is safe and worry-free.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at the bag full of cash in front of him, his eyes changed slightly, and he felt that he saw a list of tasks sent by a string of gin.

Amuro Toru and Conan don't know what Jiang Xia is thinking.

The attention of the two serious detectives was still focused on the case in front of them.

"The money is less than 5000 million, but 5000 million is about the same... The other [-] million should be on the man who escaped after the murder." Toru Amuro looked at the blood-stained cash in the bag, and then at the dead man beside him, stabbed in the back woman:

"This couple is probably the robbers who broke into the house. It's just that the two of them had internal strife - when the deceased heard Jiang Xia's name last night, she frightened the spoon in her hand. Maybe she wanted to surrender or run away, but Colleagues do not agree... There are indeed many such things.”

Conan glanced at Toru Amuro vigilantly: Boss Amuro seems to be very familiar with this kind of money packed together, and he can tell that there are not enough money after a cursory scan.Detectives usually don't receive commissions of this amount.Amuro Toru often encountered kidnapping cases before, and the kidnappers demanded a large amount of ransom, or... the other way around?

When two detectives suspect each other.

The door slammed and the client walked in.

Chao Wenzao also went out to find someone just now, but couldn't find him, so he returned to the rest station.

Seeing the corpse on the ground at this time, he was startled: "What's going on?!"

Jiang Xia recovered from the money, turned to look at the murderous client, and explained in a friendly manner:

"Do you still remember the news you heard last night—the robbery murderer was probably the couple we met on the road. Later, they seemed to have a dispute...and then it became like this."

Chao Wenzao frowned, and said in a low voice, "So they are not silver foxes..."

...Even if Silver Fox snatched up a ticket on the spur of the moment when passing by a nearby village, after that, he, or they, would not run up the mountain to do an assassination mission with such a heavy load of dirt on their backs.

Get rid of the lovers, get rid of the male college student who was plotted by the silver fox and unfortunately fell off the cliff, get rid of the hired detective and the detective's classmates, of course, the seven-year-old child is also excluded, and the rest is only Etsuko Torakura, and... that administrator?

Chao Wenzo pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked to the corner, grabbed Etsuko Torakura's bag, and shook it upside down.

The contents of the bag crashed to the ground.

Drinking water, a change of clothes, a few books, notebooks and pens...

No iconic throwing knives, crossbows, or other oddities.It's not like Silver Fox's luggage.

Chao Wenzao glanced at the contents inside, dropped the empty bag, pushed open the door and went out, chasing into the deep forest.

——Torakura Etsuko was also excluded, and the only thing left was the administrator!

"..."

Etsuko Hukura looked at the closed door in surprise, walked to the scattered luggage with a frown, and put back the things she had poured out one by one, a little annoyed: "It's so rude..."

After a pause, she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Xia and his party suspiciously: "The 'silver fox' you just mentioned is..."

Before the words were finished, a group of detectives slowly pushed the door out, chasing after the direction the client left.

Chapter 503 Matsuda Jinping Has No Bad Ideas

When the detectives rushed out the door after the client, Mao Lilan subconsciously followed a few steps.

When she ran to the door, she suddenly remembered that if she left too, only Etsuko Hukura and the unconscious male college student would be left in the rest stop, and she hesitated for a while—in case the gangsters went back to the rest stop after they left , Attack the two helpless people in the house, and when they come back, there may be two more corpses in the house.

It's better to stay by yourself...

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan stopped in her tracks.

Turning around, she saw Etsuko Torakura was alarmed by the commotion just now, stopped packing her luggage, and walked to her side.

Etsuko Hukura looked out the door with Mo Lilan, her eyes full of doubts.She speculated and said, "You guys probably didn't come to play when you went up the mountain. Could it be that you received some commission? Does it have something to do with that 'Silver Fox'?"

Merlin nodded.

By now, Jiang Xia's identity as a detective had already been exposed, and Yinhu's identity was roughly confirmed.If you continue to keep it secret, it may cause Etsuko Hukura to lose information at critical moments and make wrong decisions-for example, when encountering something, she ran to the "staff" of the administrator for help, which would be more likely to be in danger.

Mao Lilan then briefly told her about the situation.

While speaking, there was a light "click" from the window behind him.

The two were startled at the same time, looked at each other with a little panic, and turned their heads in a hurry.

Behind him, the room was empty, the windows were still closed, and there was no one there.

"...Maybe it was blown by the wind." Etsuko Hukura breathed a sigh of relief.

Mao Lilan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

She stared at it for a while, then suddenly remembered something:

"...the pink backpack next to the window is gone, the bag containing 5000 million cash!"

Could it be that the robbers are back to pick up the loot? !

Remembering that it was a villain who had just killed someone, Mao Lilan walked to the window vigilantly, and glanced out through the glass covered with thick dust.

There was no one outside, only a piece of woods after the rain, and the fresh air entered the room through the gaps in the wooden house.

"..."

Mao Lilan looked suspiciously for a while, but found nothing wrong, so she temporarily looked away.

She locked the window, ran to lock the door, and waited for the detectives to come back.

……

A few meters away, in the woods.

A man in a black casual suit and light-colored sunglasses on the bridge of his nose was leaning against a tree, holding a heavy backpack that smelled of blood, and stood quietly.

Seeing that no one was chasing him, Matsuda Jinpei relaxed a little, and looked down at the bag in his hand.

This is the bag left by the couple who robbed the leader of the gang.Jiang Xia asked him to find a chance to take it away.

Just now, when Matsuda Jinpei found an opportunity, he walked away with the intention of confiscating the stolen goods.But in the end, I am still not used to this kind of behavior, and I always feel that I am doing bad things and breaking the law.

But Jiang Xia said that the money has a legitimate purpose - to give it to the source of the wine-flavored high-end murderous aura, and then use it to increase the chance of meeting, get more murderous aura, and get the task list...

A few days ago, Matsuda believed Jiang Xia's words, thinking that the murderous smell of wine was really going to be out of print.
