Conan's Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia remembered that there was a safety hammer on the green car, and ran over to get it.

He was about to go down the river to hand over the tools. At this moment, Toru Amuro, who was next to the red car, looked at the growing fire around him, and the car that seemed to be on the verge of explosion. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and punched the tight Closed windows.

click-

The solid car window burst open.Fragments riddled with fissures in the spider's web collapsed and scattered into the water.

Holding the safety hammer, Jiang Xia froze for a moment.

Then silently retracted the feet that had touched the water: "..."

...Although I have known for a long time that people in this world have a special physique, but every time I see it with my own eyes, I still feel miraculous.

And... that's why Toru Amuro doesn't have a safety hammer in his car? ?

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, subconsciously lowered her head, and looked at her fist.

...Since Toru Amuro can do it, theoretically, maybe he can too.

The skill of removing windows with bare hands is quite practical.But Jiang Xia hasn't tried this kind of thing that is easy to make a few holes for himself, and he doesn't really want to try it.

If you encounter a similar situation... the puppet clay is very tough, but the hardness is not good enough... If no one sees it at that time, it is better to let the puppets play.

Then he raised his hand, and secretly pinched Miss Spider's spider leg protruding out of boredom.

——Look, this sharp claw looks very good at cutting.It must be more elegant than the boss to remove the windows.

Miss Spider shuddered, and instinctively raised her head to look at her master.

... Can't see anything from Jiang Xia's innocent face.

Miss Spider thought for a while suspiciously, reached out and touched Jiang Xia's fingertips, and then secretly pulled out her spider legs and retracted them.

...I don't know what's going on, but it's safer to hide.She raised her hand to tidy up the bamboo hat on top of her head, and secretly decided that if she had nothing to do in the future, she would resolutely not stick out the spider legs to play.

……

Toru Amuro didn't notice the small movements of the staff behind him.

He reached into the broken car window and probed the driver's neck in the red car, only to find that he had no pulse.

"..."

...Just as he took Jiang Xia out, he ran into a dead man.I don't know if it was a simple accident or other reasons... Toru Amuro fell into deep thought for a while.

Soon, the fire that had just been dispelled gradually drifted closer along the water flow.

Amuro came back to his senses and didn't stay any longer.

He waded back to the river bank and looked at Jiang Xia: "It's too late to save people, call the police."

Finished habitually, remembering that Jiang Xia's mobile phone was still in his storage box, Toru Amuro closed his mouth as if nothing had happened, and took out his mobile phone.

However, before dialing, a weak voice came from the side:

"...I have called the traffic police and ambulance."

"?"

Amuro turned his head and saw a man with wrinkled clothes and blood on his head huddled at the corner of the bridge: "..."

...This is probably the driver of the green car.

It's embarrassing to ask weak citizens who were injured after the car accident to call in person to deal with the aftermath...but it's quite efficient.

Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia who didn't have a mobile phone at this time, it was nothing.

He put away his mobile phone and walked to the other side of the road, while reminding the other two: "Stay away from the river, the vehicle may explode."

Finished, Toru Amuro was slightly taken aback, remembering one thing.

According to previous investigations and what the spectacle student said, when Jiang Xia encounters something related to a car accident, his reaction will be slower than usual, and when it is serious, he will fall into the state of hanging up.

But this time, why did I feel that Jiang Xia was very sensitive, and even ran to get the safety hammer, although it was useless later...

Toru Amuro fell into deep thought, thinking to no avail.

... After all, he does not specialize in psychology.

Just guessing based on existing experience, this may be because ptsd is not triggered at any time... Tsk, psychological problems are troublesome, there is no absolute specific trigger condition, and the symptoms are often mysterious.

However, it would be very good if Jiang Xia could maintain this sober state, maybe this is a sign of improvement.Well, when you find the right psychiatrist, put this on your record for him.

Chapter 516 The Shadow-Like Conan Edogawa

Just thinking about it, seven or eight meters away, there was a bang in the river ditch, and a burst of intense flames rose.

— The red car exploded.

In the burning background, the driver of the little green car stared blankly over there.

After a while, he suddenly collapsed on the ground, beating the ground and crying bitterly:

"Take a good trip, how could you encounter such a thing... I didn't see his car at all, if only I had looked around more at that time... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Is it my fault?"

While speaking, in the flames of the explosion, a shikigami finally fully emerged from the body of the driver of the red car.It fluttered up, drifted closer, and finally landed on the lap of the driver of the green car.

Jiang Xia: "..."

His fingers trembled instinctively, wanting to reach for the stick.

But remembering that there was Toru Amuro standing next to him, he could only change his actions regrettably, raised his hand and patted the driver of the little green car on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Fortunately, there is surveillance above the head, let's wait for the traffic police to come and determine responsibility—if It was just an accident, and the sentence should not be more serious than murder."

The driver of the little green car who was busy crying: "..."

... Was it his illusion?

...Why do I always feel that the second half of this young man's sentence has something to say?

But raising his head and taking a peek at Jiang Xia's calm and slightly encouraging gaze, Chegu Zhengsi felt that he was guilty of being a thief and thinking too much.

So he struggled for a moment, then continued to cover his face, crying bitterly.

Beside, Toru Amuro didn't think there was any problem with Jiang Xia's words.

——Even if it was an accident, people died here after all.In this case, for the parties involved in the car accident, it is equivalent to causing the death of a person with their own hands.

Ordinary citizens have never seen this posture, so they panic and feel that they have killed someone.

Jiang Xia must have noticed this thoughtfully, so he deliberately compared "death caused by traffic accident" with "murder" and told the driver of the green car the difference between the two... Jiang Xia's keen insight seems to be used not only in solving cases In practice, it is often used in the service industry. No wonder whether it is the clients who come to the detective agency, or the bosses and clients of various working places, they all speak highly of him...

Toru Amuro's thoughts went astray for a short while, but he quickly retracted.

——Speaking of which, is this really just an accident?

He glanced at Jiang Xia who was still comforting the driver, and a trace of suspicion slowly rose in his heart.

...To tell the truth, he has never seen a death caused purely by accident in the vicinity of Jiangxia.So now, he always had a vague feeling that there might be something hidden in this car accident.

...Fortunately, there are surveillance cameras here. When the time comes, I should call it out and have a look. I should be able to know whether it was an accident or a murder.

Toru Amuro thought while looking at the driver who was kneeling and crying bitterly.After observing suspiciously for a moment, he finally said nothing.

He turned his head and looked at the distance of the road, waiting for the traffic police and ambulance to arrive.

……

Soon, a small dot appeared at the end of the road in the field of vision.

Vehicles are approaching.

...the ambulance and the police car came so soon?

... No, there was only one car coming, and it should be a passerby passing by.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro glanced at the intersection, intending to go over and move the Mazda that stopped just now to the side, so as not to block the traffic.

When he walked to his car from the place where he avoided the explosion.

The car coming from a distance approached and stopped.

In the car, a middle-aged man poked his head out, looked around the river, and asked Toru Amuro vigilantly: "Why is there smoke in the river? What happened?"

Amuro Toru heard the words and looked over, then was taken aback.

The driver who was probing had a long and thin face, with a mustache and a hint of confusion in his ordinary appearance.

At the first glance, a name jumped out of Amuro Toru's intelligence-like brain.

--Maori Kogoro.

Although I haven't seen it directly, recently, when the subordinates investigated Edogawa Conan's information, they also collected the information of this foster family, so Amuro saw the photos of the Mori family.

And now, Kogoro Mori is the driver, and there seems to be someone sitting in the back seat of his car...

Toru Amuro suddenly thought of something, turned his gaze, and looked over with complicated emotions.

I saw the rear window was just put down.

Then, two familiar people poked their heads out from inside - Mao Lilan and Conan saw Jiang Xia who was a little far away at a glance, and they waved to Jiang Xia in surprise and joy: "What a coincidence, you want to go out too?"

Toru Amuro: "..."

Why is there a kid with glasses everywhere!

...Thinking about it carefully, it was the same as the previous few times—every time, before and after my car blew out, I would always meet Conan.

This time, there was no unlucky vehicle with a flat tire...

But one car exploded directly.

"..."

Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought, maybe it wasn't Jiang Xia who should be taken out of the closed door, but this Edogawa Conan who could always meet them cleverly?

... For a moment, he even suspected that he was arranged by this weird child.

But think about it calmly, today, he took Jiang Xia out at a random time and in a random direction—more precisely, it was decided by throwing a dice.

... Conan could never have manipulated his dice.

In addition, when he was in the city, he arranged for his subordinates to follow and monitor, but at that time he did not find any suspicious people following his car.

So... Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
