Conan's Corpse Picker

If Bourbon finds out the clues, taking Jiang Xia on this trip is also to test what Jiang Xia has concealed...

"..."

I really want to follow up and see the situation.

Unfortunately, at present, she only knows the final destination of the mission.The mission time declared by Bourbon was too long, and no one knew where he and Jiang Xia were during this time.

At worst, maybe in some hidden interrogation room...

"Tsk."

Belmode scratched his steamy hair a little annoyedly, then picked up the dart on the table, and threw it lightly twice, casually.

The sharp dart flew out in a whirl, and with the sound of the wind, it shot towards the wall next to the photo, and was nailed to one of the photos.

In that photo, there was a man with blond hair, dark skin, and a delivery uniform.

In the background around him, several familiar children can be vaguely seen, including Conan wearing glasses.

——It was Bourbon and the Detective Boys that Belmode secretly photographed while visiting the Gomera studio a while ago.

At this moment, the dart was nailed to Amuro Toru's forehead.

Belmode looked at the photo on the wall with his forehead nailed through, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and breathed a little easier.

...Damn Bourbon.

I don't know what kind of life Jiang Xia is going through in the past few days.

……no.After thinking about it, I still have to think of a way to find it and see the situation.

A sharp light flashed in Belmode's beautiful eyes.

……

hundreds of kilometers away.

In the deep forest of Hyogo Prefecture.

Toru Amuro was concentrating on driving, but suddenly his whole body froze, feeling that he was being watched by something annoying.

He frowned and looked into the distance.

Outside the window is a thicker fog.The full moon was in the sky, and the headlights of the car were turned on, but the winding mountain road soaked in the pale mist was hard to see clearly anyway.

Although the roads in the deep forest are regularly repaired, they are not as smooth as the roads outside, and it is inevitable that there will be accumulation of litter.

Toru Amuro regretted it not long after he drove in.

——In this environment, even if there are no mysterious forces targeting his tires, he can easily run over sharp stones and the like and blow out the tires by himself.

No matter how good your driving skills are, if you can't see the road, it may be difficult to get out of this forest completely.

However, after all, this is a road randomly drawn by dice.No matter how many times you check, the dice are fine, so it should be right to go this way...

And now, after traveling several kilometers, the vehicle is still stable.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro stopped contemplating, and pinched his forehead vigilantly—reminding himself not to worry about the tires like a ptsd patient, but to concentrate on driving.

……

ten minutes later.

Jiang Xia, who was leaning against the co-pilot to catch up on sleep, was happily woken up by the ghosts.

——Compared with the main body, ghost fetuses have a farther range and more precise response to murderous aura and shikigami.

Therefore, they were the first to discover the anomaly, and told Jiang Xia considerately that there was a shikigami and murderous aura in a mansion deep in the mountains obliquely ahead.

"..."

Jiang Xia opened his eyes a little, and took a vague look at the boss who was driving tired late at night. For the sake of health, he had better find a place to lie down and rest immediately.

After that, he glanced at the faint light in the distance again.

Chapter 549 Bourbon He Pays Too Much

After half a minute.

boom--

With the sound of a tire bursting, the car body shook abruptly.

Then he was quickly stabilized by Toru Amuro, slowly leaned towards the side of the road, and finally stopped.

Jiang Xia, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, was slammed by the shaking vehicle and woke up grabbing her seat belt.

He was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and then said helplessly, "A tire blown out in the woods again?"

Toru Amuro: "..."

...Why does he sound like he should be blamed for this matter, he is obviously just a victim of the physique of the incident.

After a moment of silence, Toru Amuro decided not to bother with those who hadn't woken up, and dealt with the business first: "People don't often pass by in this area, and there are gravels on the road, which can easily puncture tires...let's replace the spare tire first."

Jiang Xia nodded and got out of the car with him.

……

Before opening the trunk, Toru Amuro walked half a circle around the car and found the punctured tire.

If you look closely, you can see a deep scratch on the oblique side, which looks like it was run over by some kind of sharp object and was punctured miserably.

Toru Amuro checked with a flashlight.I don't know if it's because of my overthinking, but he always feels that this scratch is too flat, and it looks more like it was scratched by other things than a stone... But maybe there is a stone with a very neat sharp part here.

He stared for a moment, temporarily remembering this doubt.

Then stood up and walked to the trunk.

I thought about it all the way, and finally encountered a flat tire at this time.For some reason, compared to being restless, Toru Amuro felt a faint sense of solidity in his heart as if the huge rock had finally landed.

...Although he doesn't want to admit it, in fact, when he decided to come out with Jiang Xia, he already had this level of awareness.

Speaking of which, compared to the "tire blowout as soon as I arrived in the suburbs" when I took Conan with me, now I have only blown one tire after walking alone with Jiang Xia for so many days... It is enough to be gratifying.

Jiang Xia's physique with a blown tire in a car doesn't seem to be as strong as he thought.Does the problem really lie with the group of little boys who grew up in a strange direction?

Toru Amuro thought as he opened the trunk lid.

Then it was discovered that the spare tire was also broken.

He lowered his gaze and watched the scene calmly, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Then, while Jiang Xia was still checking the broken tire on the side of the car.

Toru Amuro took the opportunity to glance at the phone.

——Since he thought of a possible tire blowout in advance, how could he be completely unprepared.

In addition to letting the subordinates carry spare tires, ready to pretend to be "passers-by" at any time to provide support and wait for the opportunity to capture the tire destroyer,

Toru Amuro actually got an infrared night vision camera and hid it in the trunk under the cover of sundries.

It's time to put this hand ready to use, let him see what was in the car when the spare tire was damaged...

Toru Amuro clicked on the mailbox, and found that there was a new email in the mailbox.

From the subordinate responsible for checking the camera situation.

He moved his finger and clicked to check.

As soon as I saw the "sorry" at the beginning, my heart skipped a beat.

... The bad premonition increased.

Further down, I saw that this email contained a compressed video attachment, which was a key part deliberately intercepted by his subordinates.

Toru Amuro turned his phone to silent and pressed play.

In the picture, in the silence, the camera was shooting quietly at the spare tire in the trunk.

This harmonious picture did not last long.

After a second or two, the camera shakes suddenly—it is not a slight shake caused by the driving of the vehicle, but suddenly moves forward for a certain distance, as if something behind occupies the space and pushes the camera forward.

Immediately after, just half a second later, the screen suddenly went black.

——The camera was destroyed first.

Toru Amuro: "..."

The veins on his forehead twitched, and the phone in his hand made a crackling sound, bouncing on the broken edge.

Toru Amuro was silent for a while, remembering that he was in the suburbs with a member of the organization with him, even if his subordinates were not far behind him, it would be inconvenient to change the phone... Finally, he took a silent breath and let go of his hand.

He raised his head and looked at the pile of debris next to the spare tire.

Just now, he felt that there was a slight difference from before, but he thought it was caused by the shaking of the car body.

...But now it seems that this is clearly some kind of creature that destroyed the camera hidden in the debris pile, then broke the tire, and restored the debris pile to its original shape.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro reached in to search.

A piece of broken camera equipment was quickly fished out, which looked even more miserable than a blown tire and a broken spare tire.

At this time, Jiang Xia seemed to be alarmed by the sound of turning over, leaving the tires on the side of the car, and came to the trunk.

Before he arrived, Amuro quietly hid the body of the camera.

Jiang Xia glanced into the trunk with the help of Toru Amuro's flashlight.

After seeing the spare tire clearly, he was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise, "Claw marks? Boss, in your car..."

"No mice."

Amuro retorted reflexively.

Immediately afterwards, remembering that mice don't have such strong claws, he added: "There is no other thing that can bite the tire."

Next to him, Xiaobai raised his hand, hooked it into a paw, and waved it like paddling water.

Amuro couldn't see it, but Miyano Akemi and her parents applauded it very much.

Matsuda Jinping, who is lying on Jiang Xia's shoulders, has only been in the job for a short time, and his thickness needs to be strengthened.It looked at Jiang Xia, and then looked at Toru Amuro, who had a calm face but a slight twinkle in his eyes, who seemed to be doubting his life, and moved a little away from the victim guiltily, and moved to the other side of Jiang Xia.
