Conan's Corpse Picker

Next to him, Suzuki Sonoko, who is quite sensitive to appearance, had the same discovery as Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia heard her muttering in a low voice: "Everyone in this family is so handsome..."

"..."

Jiang Xia nodded, feeling the same way: Daisuke Torakura's surroundings are so dangerous.In his impression, it seems that where there are more handsome men and beautiful women, cases are more likely to occur...

Speaking of which, apart from Daisuke Torakura, there seems to be another familiar person in the reception room...

……

Following Toshiya Tasho's lead, the three of Suzuki's family walked to the main entrance of the villa.

Jiang Xia followed naturally, and walked together to this villa, which looked very suitable for him to rest.

However, just after taking two steps, Toru Amuro grabbed him from behind.

The ruthless organization cadre interrupted his plan indifferently: "Just deliver it to the door, we still have business."

Suzuki Sonoko heard it sharply, stopped whispering to her sister, turned her head quickly, ran back and grabbed Jiang Xia's other arm: "Let's go in together. It's already so late, it's not safe to drive at night in snowy weather."

"..."

Jiang Xia's face was tangled, but she didn't hesitate in her heart.

——He glanced at the tires from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flickered indistinctly.

Still, nothing to do with the tires.Amuro Toru's phone vibrated suddenly.

Toru Amuro paused for a moment and turned on the phone.

See above is an urgent message from Yuya Kazami:

[The road was blocked by heavy snow, and a section of the road before and after it collapsed, and our vehicles could not pass through.I'm afraid you won't be able to get out - please find a suitable parking place as soon as possible.If something happens to your car, please contact me and we will contact the search and rescue helicopter so that they can pick you up while they look for other citizens stranded on the road. 】

Toru Amuro: "..."

...Although as long as the road doesn't collapse too much.He has the confidence to drive the car out.

But the premise of showing the car skills is that the car can still be driven.

...Now his subordinates can't get through, he only has a spare tire in the car, and the car is prone to accidents in cold weather, in case he insists on leaving with Jiang Xia at this time, and then the car will stop before reaching the subsidence section just broke...

Toru Amuro estimated the supplies on the car, and then thought of the two people shivering in the snowstorm waiting for rescue, and then thought about the possible occupation of public resources; and after being rescued, when his subordinates came to check the situation, what they saw His distressed appearance...

A second later, Toru Amuro closed the phone as if nothing had happened, and walked back to Jiang Xia's side.

"It seems that I can only disturb Mr. Hu Cang."

Toru Amuro forced a polite smile: "Just now the local disaster forecast pushed a message that there seems to be a road collapse nearby... If it is convenient, can we stay overnight?"

Chapter 537 Xiuyi's Survival Instinct

Hearing Amuro Toru's words, the student Toshiya Tasho was taken aback, looked down at his mobile phone, and indeed found relevant urgent news: "...It seems that the other guests have to stay today, I'll go to them later. Everyone clean up the room, please come in first."

……

Although the process was a little tortuous, in the end, Jiang Xia moved into the villa smoothly.

After opening the door, the hall reveals medieval European-style decoration, matching the gloomy sky outside, the bottomless cliff behind the villa, and the whistling snowstorm... the environment is reassuring.

Entering the hall, just a few steps away, the door on the right was suddenly pushed open.

Etsuko Torakura came out wearing a coat.

Amuro took a look at her and realized that it was as it should be. This is the mystery novelist they met when they were hiking together a few days ago, and she is also the hostess of this villa.

... Fortunately, Hu Cang Etsuko seems to know Jiang Xia only unilaterally, and Jiang Xia is not familiar with him, so it should not have too much influence on the observation.

Speaking of it, I always feel that in addition to the event physique, Jiang Xia's physique of going out to have an affair with an acquaintance is even more frightening, and it is impossible to guard against...

……

Etsuko Hucang wanted to find Jiang Xia for something before, but was interrupted by the sudden murder and landslide.

At this time, when she found that the person she was looking for fell from the sky and delivered it to her door, Etsuko Hukura subconsciously ran out in surprise.Then it suddenly occurred to me that it was inconvenient for others to hear my "commission".

... So I had to stop again, and smiled awkwardly at the guests, pretending that I was just a hostess who came out to greet the guests.

After a few words of courtesy, she returned to the room in a few steps.

Toshihiko Tasho looked suspiciously at Etsuko Torakura, and then at Jiang Xia, not bothering to ask about the teacher's family affairs.So in the end, without saying anything, pretending not to see it, he led the guests to the waiting room on the other side.

……

Before Jiang Xia and the others went in, there were already three people in the living room, two men and one woman.

Among them, the middle-aged man and the young man were sitting opposite each other at the same table, talking softly, and seemed to know each other.

The other woman in a cheongsam sat alone on one side.

An Shitou glanced over, his eyes stopped on the cheongsam woman, and he thought numbly: Jiang Xia met more acquaintances...

In my impression, this is a private detective named "Guntian Ikumi".

"Gunda Detective Agency" is located not far from "Amuro Detective Agency".

After Jiang Xia came, Guntian Yumei's passenger flow gradually decreased.But she already had a lot of savings, so she simply pushed all the customers who came looking for cats and dogs to Jiang Xia, and she only took big orders.In this way, the income was not reduced, but a lot of time was freed up for entertainment and travel. Not only did she not become haggard, but she also looked much more nourished than before.

At this time, seeing Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru coming in, Guntian Ikumi didn't get up, but just nodded her head as a greeting.

——A few days ago, she received an invitation from Daisuke Hukura, saying that she had an important commission to discuss with her.But today she came a little earlier than scheduled, Daisuke Hukura is still soaking in his favorite study and has not come out, so she can only wait here for the time being.

Compared with the slightly aloof gun Tian Yumei, the middle-aged man on the side seemed much more enthusiastic.

Doi Wenli looked at Jiang Xia in surprise, and quickly recognized the detective.

He took the initiative to stand up and approached, and introduced himself: "I am the editor-in-chief of "Horror Times Monthly", and my surname is Doi."

With that said, he distributed a few business cards to the people who came.

In Editor-in-Chief Doi's impression, the young detective in front of him would always encounter some thrilling or horrific cases.Moreover, Jiang Xia is also well-known, if she can find a chance to cooperate...

Seeing editor-in-chief Doi like this, although the young man on the side didn't know Jiang Xia, he followed suit and came over.

He pressed the simple pince-nez on his face, and also handed out business cards to everyone who came:

"My surname is Yumura, and I work in the Folklore Research Office of Dongcheng University. I am mainly engaged in research related to vampires - if you have any questions about this, you can come to me at any time to communicate."

Jiang Xia took the business card and looked at it politely.

Then, facing the full name of "Hamura Shuichi", he fell into silence for a while.

Almost at the same time, the tip of Matsuda Zhenping's nose, which was spread on his shoulder, moved, and suddenly a salted fish straightened up and bounced.

And earlier than that, the mermaid had gracefully swam to the side of Toru Amuro, and opened his arms in an ungraceful manner, hugging the murderous smell of coffee, and wagging his tail happily.

"..." Shuichi Hamura vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right, his hairs stood up slightly, he instinctively stared at Toru Amuro, and took a step back: "...What's wrong?"

"...Huh? No, I just feel that the subject matter you are studying is very interesting."

Toru Amuro's tragic memories evoked by the keyword "Shuichi" were interrupted by Shuichi Hamura's words.

He put away the business card with a smile, and the murderous aura on his body also subsided at the same time.

The mermaid and Matsuda Jinpei sighed in disappointment at the same time.

The other ghosts had to be a little more reserved, but although they didn't sigh, they all looked a little disappointed - the high-level rations came too fast, and the rations were too fast.

On the opposite side, Hideo Hamura didn't know the reason for the weird atmosphere, so he had to temporarily regard the sense of crisis just now as his own illusion.

He hesitated for a moment, moved a little further away, left the group of guests, and returned to his seat.

……

Suzuki Ayako has not encountered many cases, and her sense of killing intent is a little dull.

After seeing several people exchanged business cards peacefully, and barely got to know each other, she looked at Toshihiko Tasho, who was like a housekeeper, and said, "Sorry, something happened on the way, and we came much later than the scheduled time. Is Mr. Hu Cang convenient now?"

When a guest comes, he should say hello to the host, and the host should also come out to receive...or drive away the uninvited guest.

This is the way it should be.

But Daisuke Hukura is an eccentric writer who is not bound by secular rules.

Toshihiko Tasho hesitated: "At this time, the teacher is writing in the study, so he may not be able to receive guests..."

"It doesn't matter." A mature female voice came from the side.

Guntian Ikumi turned her wrist, looked at her watch, and stood up from the table at the same time: "There are still 3 minutes, and it will be the meeting time that Mr. Torakura and I have agreed to meet - you go to say hello now, it will not affect his way of writing."

After providing this information, she looked at Jiang Xia, and said the second half of the sentence to this fellow detective.Compared with just now, the tone is still mild:

"Mr. Hu Cang is just looking for a detective recently, and I don't know what kind of difficult case he wants to investigate... Maybe he will be happier to see you."

Chapter 538 Jiang Xia, You Are Changing Soon

So in the end, except for Shuichi Hamura and editor-in-chief Doi, the two regular visitors, everyone followed Toshiya Tasho to Daisuke Torakura's study.

Jiang Xia was among them.

The shape and location of this study are very special - it is an octagonal room, which happens to be built on a protruding cliff.The only road leading to it is a four or five meter long corridor connecting the hall.

An Shitou walked in the corridor, glanced at Jiang Xia next to him, and suddenly jumped out of his mind to comment on the design of the study room - a place that is very suitable as a secret room.

"..."

...There hasn't been a homicide yet, so it's really unlucky to think like this, it's almost like cursing the owner of the house... Toru Amuro pressed his forehead and threw out the inexplicable thought.

——There is no event constitution in the world.Even if it exists, it should just be that the person involved encounters accidents more often than ordinary people.So the main issue is between the murderer and the deceased... But now, the family seems to be in harmony, except that the husband is looking for a detective, and the wife seems to be planning to find a detective...

Toru Amuro: "..."

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the novelist couple are in danger.

Let's keep an eye on them later, lest they kill each other...

…………

Daisuke Hukura's study door was not locked.

Toshiya Tasho knocked on the door and pushed open the door.

I saw that the study room was pitch black, and the only light source was an old projector and the movie screen projected on the wall by it—Daisuke Torakura was not writing at this time, but was alone in the gloomy study room, watching vampires Movie.
