Conan's Corpse Picker

Speaking of which, a well-known detective like Jiang Xia, who looks very positive, actually carries a cigarette with him... Kidd fell into deep thought for a moment: Is this detective usually under a lot of pressure?Does this have something to do with the mysterious and weird boss Amuro who is highly suspected of being a villain?

Beside, Jiang Xia ignored Kidd's advice.

Wu Tiangou is a puppet, where are the lungs, and this is not smoke...

——When the main body is not around, the puppet and the ghosts in the puppet need to replenish energy directly through ghost mint.

In the past, when Jiang Xia drove the puppet of Wutiangou and squatted to guard Kidd, he would occasionally order a ghost mint to recharge the puppet.

But at that time, you often have to pay attention to the scent, in case Kidd finds out that Wu Tiangou actually smokes the same "cigarette" as Jiang Xia.

But after today, this problem is no longer a problem.

——Wutiangou can guard the thief and steal his gems, so it can also guard the detective and steal the detective's smoke.

……

Kidd finished persuading in a low voice, and found that Wutiangou didn't mean to throw away the cigarette, but turned a deaf ear and looked into the distance.He could only sigh helplessly.

... Otherwise, what else can I do, I can't grab it, I can't beat it.

Even now, there is still something that needs the help of Wutiangou.

Kidd leaned Jiang Xia's body on the tree and looked at Wu Tiangou: "I sent a message to Grandpa Terai, and he will come to pick up this detective later. If you are tired from flying, you can go back by his car when the time comes— —The place I am going today is not a pre-selected destination for stealing treasures, but a passive banquet, and I may not be able to get suitable treasures."

…Speaking of this, Kidd suddenly became a little puzzled.

This is Tottori Prefecture, which is far away from Tokyo.Wutiangou actually appeared here... I don't know if it accidentally saw someone else's invitation letter, or discovered that the strange thief had gone out, so it followed all the way like before.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is because on weekdays, Wutiangu is not only active in Tokyo, but also in other places.

After all, there is always a gap between the times when I see Wutiangu.Maybe Wutengu spends his time wandering in the mountains and forests everywhere except occasionally going back to Tokyo to rob him...

Anyway, at such a long distance, Wutiangou can really fly.The built-in wings are more useful than hang gliding, not only can travel quickly over long distances, but also can be used to capture detectives at critical moments...

Kidd was vaguely envious, and remembered again the plan of "replacing the hang glider with artificial wings" that was dismissed by Grandpa Terai.

However, looking at the watch, the time is already a little tight, and now is not the time to covet other people's wings.

After seeing him finish speaking, Wu Tiangou nodded, Kidd was a little relieved and didn't stay any longer.

He hurried towards the direction he came from, quickly changing his appearance into Jiang Xia's appearance while running.

……

behind Kidd.

Jiang Xia drove the puppet of Wutiangou, stood quietly in place, and watched Kidd go away.

After the figure of "myself" completely disappeared from the field of vision, he walked to the side of the tree, picked up the main body, and flew away quickly.There is no plan to hand over the main body to Terai Konosuke.

The body is closer to the puppet, which can effectively reduce the consumption of murderous energy.

On the other hand, if the old man was frightened by Wutiangou and fled back to Tokyo overnight with Jiang Xia's body, the puppet might dissipate because of too much murderous energy consumption just as soon as it showed its face...

Anyway, he didn't say just now that he would not take away the main body.

Jiang Xia fluttered her wings with a little guilt, took advantage of the night, and flew away low-key close to the woods, rushing to her destination.

……

Kidd knew nothing about the Wutiangou stealing incident that happened behind the scenes.

He concentrated on following the same path and returned to the place where the vehicle was.

While in the woods, Kidd had thrown away the clothes he used to pretend to be Toru Amuro.

Although the spare tire he brought just now was thrown at the scene of the sneak attack on Jiang Xia, it was made of black technology materials.It should have been discouraged and turned into a thin film by now, blown away by the mountain wind.In short, if you go back now, you shouldn't be exposed.

At the same time, Kidd recalled Jiang Xia's reaction to "Amuro Toru" just now.

Then it was discovered that although Jiang Xia was secretly wary of the boss, before "Toru Amuro" attacked him, Jiang Xia had been sitting quietly in the car, waiting for him to come back.And when "Amuro Toru" asked Jiang Xia to help change the spare tire, Jiang Xia did get out of the car to get tools...

Generally speaking, it is still the attitude of employees towards their superiors.

Probably Jiang Xia has discovered the problem of Toru Amuro, but has not exposed it yet.

"..." In this case, let's get along in a normal way first.

……

Kidd made one last adjustment to his disguise and clothes before running out of the woods.

Then he climbed back to the road along the sloping embankment on the side of the road.

Then he saw Toru Amuro standing by the side of the car, and the two spare tires next to Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro was pressing on his phone, not knowing who he was sending a message to, with a serious expression on his face.

Sensing movement on the side of the road, he looked up and saw "Jiang Xia", he was startled for a moment, put away his phone: "Where did you go just now?"

"Jiang Xia" took a few breaths, and looked like he had been sprinting for a long time: "I think the broken tire looks like it was pierced by a triangular nail. Then I saw someone poking around in the woods, so I caught up and took a look... ...but it got darker as it went deeper, and I couldn't catch up with it, so I had to come back again."

Amuro recalled the sharp claw marks on his spare tire last night, and the terrible bite marks again and again in the past, and frowned: "If you see it again in the future, don't chase it alone, shoot..."

He originally wanted to say that it would be fine to take a photo, which means that he has grasped important clues and is safe.

But in the middle of the conversation, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia's mobile phone was with him, and stopped the conversation a little awkwardly.

I thought that when I got to the city, I would have to get a camera for Jiang Xia—according to Jiang Xia's event physique, he might really be able to draw out the mysterious force that scratches the tires...

Chapter 583 It's Not Easy For Jiang Xia To Live Up To Now

Kidd waited for a while, but did not wait for the second half of the sentence, and Toru Amuro seemed to have no intention of continuing.

So he nodded.It is a response to the first half of the reminder.

At the same time, he murmured to himself: According to Jiang Xia's skills, it would be easy to deal with one or two abortion offenders.But when Toru Amuro heard what he said just now, his expression became very ugly...

Could it be that he was worried that Jiang Xia would take the opportunity to run away?

Jiang Xia was not allowed to go to the gas station together, perhaps because he did not want Jiang Xia to contact the staff there and pass on the news.

…the power of first impressions cannot be underestimated.

"Jiang Xia" remained calm on the face, but kept a trace of vigilance against Toru Amuro in his heart.

Kidd's control over expressions has always been in place.In addition, in this world, there are only a few people who can be easily tolerated to this extent.

So Toru Amuro never expected that when he went to buy some spare tires by himself, when he came back, the person in front of him who looked exactly like Jiang Xia had already changed the tires.

Although he felt that Jiang Xia was a little impulsive this time, judging from some rumors in the police station, Jiang Xia used to chase criminals with a stick.This kind of behavior is not out of the ordinary for him...

Toru Amuro couldn't see through the disguise immediately.

It's just like when facing Jiang Xia: "First put the spare tire on together."

"Jiang Xia" nodded, and went to find the jack in the trunk.

The moment the lid was opened, Kidd's eyes froze slightly.

In the corner of the trunk, there are some inconspicuous thread marks and interfaces, which are traces of surveillance equipment installed.

"..." This, is this a device used to check the situation and prevent hostages from suffocating or escaping when they are tied up and locked up inside?

... This boss really has a problem.

And it's a big problem!

Kidd grew more wary.He pretended he didn't find anything, found out the jack, adjusted the luggage at the same time, and put the extra spare tire in it.

……

When two people equip the tires together, the movements will inevitably be too big.

Kidd, who is very observant, keenly discovered the gun hidden on Toru Amuro's body.Suddenly, there was a feeling of "matching".

——No wonder just now, after the surprise attack on Jiang Xia, he just drew out an anesthesia gun, but Jiang Xia decisively rushed into the bushes with many obstacles when he made the action of drawing the gun.

Looking at it now, in Jiang Xia's eyes, it probably wasn't an anesthesia gun at all, but a real gun that could kill people.No wonder he is so cautious...

When the spare tire is installed and the car is seated again.

Kidd glanced at Toru Amuro who was driving from the corner of his eye, and secretly sighed for Jiang Xia in his heart.

... It's not easy to be a detective these days. You have to guard against fire and theft, and you have to guard against the boss.I heard that private detectives usually have to touch a lot of secrets. Maybe Jiang Xia accidentally broke the secrets of some important person when he was working. Looking for opportunities to meet customer requirements as naturally as possible.

Toru Amuro always takes Jiang Xia to remote places when he has nothing to do, maybe he is also secretly looking for opportunities to get off the phone.It's just that Jiang Xia has a cautious personality, strong observation skills, and has long been on guard, so Toru Amuro has never been able to succeed.

...Fortunately, now, there is a strange thief to cross the tribulation for him, so Jiang Xia no longer has to fight wits with this scumbag boss.

Kidd felt that he had done a good deed, looking at the drowsy sky outside the window, his mood improved.

……

Trying to go to Tottori on the way.

Amuro Toru glanced to the side occasionally, and found that Jiang Xia hadn't caught up on sleep, and seemed to be thinking about something with lowered eyes.

"..."Maybe thinking about the tires?

——Since Jiang Xia saw the figure in the woods, maybe he could get some key inspiration from it.Then, just like when solving the case before, quickly sort out the cause and effect, and find out the unknown creature that gnawed on the tire.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt a little hopeful in his heart.

However, before he found the scene he was looking forward to, something happened to both of them suddenly on the way.

——A dark night, a suburban road, two cars one behind the other.

Toru Amuro was about to overtake.But at this moment, through the car window, he suddenly vaguely heard a familiar "bang--" sound from the car in front.

Immediately afterwards, one side of the tire of the front car was flattened, and the car body became wobbly.Soon, the small Felt pulled over and stopped.

Toru Amuro, who stepped on the brake, said, "..."

In the wilderness, there seems to be no signal for this section of the road.There are very few vehicles here and there.

If you just leave the person in the car in front here.In the worst case, after two days, there may be reports of the tragic death of the people in the car.

... All in all, it's hard to let go.

Toru Amuro originally just instinctively slowed down to prevent hitting the car in front.

After judging the situation, he sighed inwardly, and had to stop the whole car.

At the same time, considering that the co-pilot was sitting with a member of the organization who did not know his undercover status, Toru Amuro routinely found an excuse to do something good.
