Conan's Corpse Picker

"..." This quiet personality doesn't quite resemble Matsuda's. Toru Amuro continued chatting, "There are no sights worth seeing around here. Are you here to visit relatives? Or have you received a commission?"

"Oh? Haven't you received the invitation letter? There is also a check for 200 million yen. Some of my friends—several famous detectives have received it." Qianjian Jiangdai's old voice came, "Before I saw the report about Jiang Xia solving the case in Hyogo County, and I found him in the car just now, so I thought you must also be here for the appointment."

As she spoke, she rummaged through her handbag for a while and found an invitation letter.Pass it forward through the gap between the driver's seat and the co-pilot.

"Jiang Xia" on the co-pilot took it and opened it to check.

Toru Amuro followed suit.

This invitation letter is black and white, and it looks very ominous, like an invitation from the god of death.

Compared to the packaging, the content is somewhat normal—the recipient is invited to the Twilight Annex for a dinner party.

However, there is obviously something worth noting.

"The Phantom Child Abandoned by God..." Toru Amuro noticed the lengthy signature of the middle school student for the first time. After a moment of silence, he thought about it, "Kidd?"

"Jiang Xia" next to her was suddenly named, and stretched out the letter paper uncomfortably.

...I didn't expect this unscrupulous boss to solve the mystery quite quickly.Before, he thought that Toru Amuro was the kind of scumbag capitalist who had no ability and had to rely on squeezing Jiang Xia to improve his reputation.

……

Kidd had actually seen this kind of invitation long ago.

Although the sender's signature was him, it was not actually sent by him, but someone was pretending to be in his name to summon detectives.

This is also the reason why Kidd wanted Yi Rong to mix in and check the specific situation.

Kidd pretended to read the letter, refolded the letter paper, and handed it back to Qianjian Jiangdai in the back seat.

Then he shook his head: "We were on a business trip recently, so we didn't pay attention to the office's mailbox."

"Really." Granny Qianjian put away the invitation letter and smiled, "It's already here, why don't you stay in the Twilight Villa for one night, there is a famous detective like Jiang Xia, the owner there will definitely not mind too much Add two guests."

Toru Amuro nodded thoughtfully: "This time all the invited are detectives?"

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Xia who was wearing Matsuda leather in the back seat again: "I've been too busy recently and haven't paid much attention to the news of the detective world... Is this the latest rookie?"

"Kurosawa is not a detective, he came with me." Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't intend to introduce himself, Qianjian Jiangdai only mentioned the name Jiang Xia told her, and didn't say much else, "It seems that we are coming soon .” She pointed out the window, “I’m not wrong. It’s not far away.”

"..." Kurosawa?

This surname that I heard occasionally reminded Amuro of someone he knew - a busy silver long and straight figure flashed in his mind, and his mood -1 followed.

At the same time, I feel that this is inconsistent with my speculation: the person in my car who has something to do with Matsuda from his face, to the style of his clothes, to his appearance...isn't his surname Matsuda?

Also, relatives may not have the same surname.

And if it's the person who came back from the dead, it would be more normal to use a pseudonym... Wait, what are you thinking.It is impossible for such a thing to come back from the dead. If you have any fantasies about it, it is better to think about feigning death...

The vehicle quickly passed a bridge.

While thinking, Amuro raised his head and looked diagonally upward through the car window.

The road ahead is winding, and at the end stands a large building.There were dark clouds above the head, there was faint thunder and lightning, and the dim light came out from the window of the Twilight Pavilion, which failed to bring light and warmth, but looked like monster eyes protruding from the cracks.

……

At dusk, the gate of the courtyard is wide open.

Through the sparse and unrepaired fences, you can see the flat open-air parking lot in the courtyard.

Someone had already arrived first, and at this moment, at a glance, the parking lot was full of luxury cars.

Toru Amuro also quickly found a place and parked.

After the car came to a complete stop, Jiang Xia and Grandma Qianjian opened the door and got out of the car.

Kidd, who was wearing Jiang Xiapi, consciously went over and helped Qianjian Jiangdai carry her luggage down.

As soon as the suitcase was put away, the driver's door slammed.

Kidd was stunned, straightened up and looked over, and saw Toru Amuro came down too—the unscrupulous boss had already locked the car door as if nothing had happened, as if planning to go to the other hotel for a banquet with Grandma Qianjian and the others .

Kidd: "...?"

He remembered that just now, when Grandma Qianjian said she wanted to take a ride, Toru Amuro seemed very reluctant.From Kidd's point of view, with Toru Amuro concentrating on assassinating Jiang Xia, he might not be willing to stay in the crowded annex, not to mention that there are a bunch of detectives in the annex.

So Kidd has hidden tools in his hands, and he can damage the car at any time.

did not expect……

Chapter 586

Kidd looked at Toru Amuro who got out of the car voluntarily, and was a little surprised.

Could it be that the scumbag boss is also interested in this banquet where detectives gather?

still is……

Kidd recalled Amuro Toru's seemingly natural but abnormal accusations when he was on the road before, and secretly glanced at the curly young man next to him.

The young man in black seemed to be quite sensitive to sight, so he quickly put away his gaze from observing the Twilight Villa, and turned his head to look at him as well.

"Jiang Xia" and Jiang Xia looked at each other for a moment.

Kidd tried to observe something from Jiang Xia's eyes.However, in the dimly lit night, through the pair of light-colored sunglasses, he couldn't see the other party's eyes clearly.

Speaking of which, Kidd suddenly thought, why does Kurosawa wear sunglasses at night?

... Judging from the previous situation, this person's eyesight should be fine, not like a blind person who needs to use sunglasses to cover abnormal eyes... If so, maybe it's an interest?

Tsk, everyone I met today was so weird.

……

A group of four took their luggage and walked towards the gate of the Twilight Annex.

When the vehicles passing by, several people subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

Famous detectives in this world earn a lot of money, and all the luxury cars parked here are quite eye-catching: Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche...

"There is even an Alfa Romeo." Kidd took a second look at this rare sports car, and praised reservedly, "The shape is really good."

"Of course." A voice came from the praised sports car.

——There was someone in the car.

Soon, a tall, tough-jawed, cowboy-looking detective stepped out of the car.

The cowboy detective slammed the car door, held a cigarette, and raised his chin proudly: "It took me five years to get this savage woman."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand with love in his eyes, and touched his car.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He moved away silently.

Fake Jiang Xia looked at the shiny bonnet enviously, and wanted to touch it.

However, it is normal for high school students to be interested in sports cars, but if they are too interested, it becomes a bit ooc... Kidd remembered Jiang Xia's usual plain appearance, and in the end he could only take a normal look at the car without doing anything.

Mother-in-law Qianjian is not very interested in cars.

She seemed to be familiar with Cowboy Detective, looked up at him, and greeted, "It's brother Mogi. I heard that you were attacked by the Mafia in Chicago last week. Are you okay?"

Motegi Haruki exhaled a puff of smoke, shrugged his shoulders casually: "I don't remember what happened so long ago."

"..." Jiang Xia glanced at this tall and tough detective, and the smoke around him, and suddenly found that the lines were spoken with the cloudy sky and the smoke, which was unexpectedly quite compelling...It's a pity that although his Matsuda vest has reached the limit of tobacco and alcohol It's not a taboo age, but the iconic ghost mint is too strong, you can't just smoke it...

In the end, Jiang Xia could only regretfully touch the pocket of Ghost Mint, and did nothing.

Behind him, Toru Amuro stared at "Kurosawa Sato"'s hand.Anyway, being idle was idle, and he began to randomly collect information about "Kurosawa Zuo": It seemed that he wanted to take out a cigarette, but stopped halfway?Why?

...By the way, judging from Granny Sengen's attitude, Matsuda, cough, and Kurosawa are very similar to Granny Sengen's juniors.It is not uncommon for the younger generation to maintain an image of not smoking and drinking in front of the elders.

He was idle here, analyzing randomly.

At this time, the topic among the adults next to him immediately became realistic again.

After asking about Haruki Motegi's injury, Grandma Qianjian quickly changed to another topic that she was more interested in: "I remember that in three days, you will be 40 years old—you should also be planning to marry a wife and have children. "

"..." Following this overly down-to-earth sentence, the mysterious smoke surrounding the cowboy detective suddenly turned into a down-to-earth, sad smoke.

He froze for a moment, then deftly changed the topic: "We'll talk about it later, what we need most now is a sumptuous dinner—everywhere, people will be hungry."

As he said that, he turned his head and strode towards the gate of the Twilight Annex.

Jiang Xia looked at the two of them, and quickly followed them.

……

Knocked on the door and waited for a while, but no one came to open it.

Jiang Xia pushed it casually, and saw that the door was unlocked, and as he pushed, it creaked and slid to both sides.

The wide door opened, revealing the plain old hall behind.

The hall has a large space and there are stairs leading to the upper floor, but the overall tone is dark, and the lighting is difficult to take into account every corner.Coupled with the cloudy sky and thunder and lightning outside, the apt word "haunted house" unconsciously popped up in everyone's minds.

However, although the atmosphere is similar, there are no ghosts poking their heads.

——In the hall, there were only two very normal-looking humans.

One of them seemed to be the maid in this building. She was wearing a black undershirt and a white apron. She was thin and ordinary-looking, with fine pockmarks on her face, and she spoke softly.

Opposite the maid stood an obese man who was almost three times her size.

The man was wearing a light-colored suit and a bow tie. He was slapping the handrail of the stairs and said angrily, "The chef isn't coming? I came all the way here for the dinner on the invitation letter!"

"...Sorry, the master said that the chef has a sudden illness and can't come over, let me prepare dinner for you first." The maid didn't expect things to turn out like this, she bowed again and again, "The ingredients are ready, I'll go prepare the meal right away, It's just that the taste might..."

"Forget it, I don't need you! I will do it myself."

The fat food detective snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves, and strode towards the kitchen: "Only food and murder cases in the world are worthy of my thinking. Rather than letting a layman take over the kitchen, it's better for me to do it myself."

He hurriedly disappeared into the small door on the side of the stairs.

The maid bit her thumb, looked at his back worriedly, and sighed.

After two seconds, she came back to her senses and planned to go to the door to meet other guests.

As soon as he turned around, he realized that the guests had already entered by themselves.

The maid was stunned, and hurried up to greet her, bowed: "Welcome, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."
