Conan's Corpse Picker

At this time, there was a slight clicking sound from the door handle behind him.

Amuro turned his head, and saw that the cowboy detective had walked around to the door of the central control room at some point, and was bowing down to observe the doorknob.

On this door, there is a round handle.

When using it, most people will hold it with the whole hand and turn it.

The cowboy detective stretched out two fingers and twirled it, and let out a clear cold snort: "There is a mechanism on the inner handle, when someone enters the answer and wants to leave here, when he opens the door, he will be stabbed to death by a poisonous needle. "

Chapter 607 Congratulations for Surviving

Listening to the cowboy detective's analysis, Amuro nodded.

Then he looked at the empty computer screen, took the mouse, and clicked to check: "The location of the treasure was not written on it, and there was no record of sending the answer. Maybe Ms. Guntian didn't find the truth, but just wanted to come to the central control room to check the situation, and then Unfortunately, when I left, I was stabbed by a poisonous needle on the inside of the doorknob..."

"Heh, do you want to keep pretending?" The cowboy detective didn't reason according to his words.

When Toru Amuro was staring at the computer with his back turned to him, he suddenly took out the pistol, clicked it into the chamber, and pointed the muzzle at Toru Amuro.

Almost at the same time, Toru Amuro also turned around as if he had been prepared for a long time, and at some point there was a gun in his hand-of course it was not the one he used often, but a "special weapon for mutual killing" found in the guest room .

Two grown men faced each other sullenly in the middle of the room, swords drawn.

The cowboy detective looked at Toru Amuro who had been on guard for a long time, snorted coldly, and made up a reasonable reason for shooting:

"The rest of the people are dead, only you, me and two passers-by who are not detectives. I have no problem, so the mastermind behind the scenes must be among you.

"Miss Qiangtian was stabbed by the poisonous needle, which means that she closed the door when she came in, so when she left, she would hold the handle on the inside of the door, and was unfortunately hit by the poisonous needle on it—if it was just to check the room She didn't have to enter the house to control the situation in the room or find the host's hiding place, let alone close the door after entering the house.

"In other words, she must have found the answer, so she planned to enter it here. But you actually said that there is no trace of the answer entered in the computer..."

……

When two people are in a tense stalemate.

Next to them, surrounded by the busy figures of ghosts.

Tonight, among the actors that Jiang Xia placed high hopes on, Kidd, Baima Tan and Miss Maid did not show any murderous intent at all.

Gun Tian Ikumi came out a little bit before pretending to shoot, but it was a formalin smell that could compete with the murderous smell of Asai Makoto's disinfectant... This made the people who followed them all the way The ghosts were very disappointed.

……

But fortunately, the two people in the central control room in front of them made the ghosts not wandering in the annex for so long. There was a faint smell of coffee on Toru Amuro's body, while the cowboy detective smelled like black pepper steak.

Xiaobai buried his head in the killing intent, tears of emotion almost flowed down the corner of his mouth.

……

The two reliable adults faced off like duelists for a while.

After a while, the confrontation, which seemed short but felt very long, finally came to an end, and the decisive victory was only in an instant.

boom--

A gunshot spread in the dead silent room, and Toru Amuro staggered back as if he had been hit head-on by a bullet.

He glanced at his clean clothes from the corner of his eye, and pressed the ketchup packet hidden inside with humiliation.

While the "blood" was flowing, he slipped against the table and fell to the ground, dying in a low-key manner.

On the opposite side, the cowboy detective withdrew his gun and blew the invisible gunpowder smoke from the muzzle.

——At this point, the companion is dead, and the enemy is also dead.Except for two insignificant passers-by, he is the only remaining winner here.

When all the dust settled, the cowboy detective took out a cigarette and lit it lonely.

Then he walked to the computer, intending to check the answer entered by Gunida Ikumi.

But at this moment, the cowboy detective suddenly reached out and grabbed his throat, making it difficult to breathe.

——Grandma Qianjian painted poison on the handles of everyone's teacups in order to poison the gourmet detective who liked to gnaw her fingers.

That is to say, theoretically speaking, the cowboy detective's thumb is also stained with potassium cyanide at this time.

Use this hand to hold the cigarette butt and pass the cigarette into your mouth.

...the last detective, unfortunately "died of poisoning".

……

With the Cowboy Detective falling to the ground in disbelief.

In the secret room, among countless surveillance cameras, the old woman closed her eyes, pinched the bridge of her nose, and shook her head in disappointment.

...In the end, no one entered the answer about the treasure into the computer.

……

Qianjian Xiadai rested his throbbing forehead, thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, a flash of light came out of the corner of her eye—something was moving in the room where three corpses were displayed on the surveillance screen.

Startled, she raised her head abruptly.

In the central control room, there was one more person silently.

—— Kurosawa seems to have finally recovered from the "headache".He walked to the door of the central control room, looked at the corpse on the ground, seemed to be greatly shocked by this heroic scene, and had to press his forehead and lean against the door to slow down.

Then he stood up straight again with difficulty, as if he didn't want to believe this result, he walked to the side of the three "corpses" and checked their breath one by one.

And stopped for a short while beside Toru Amuro and Cowboy Detective.

"...?" Qianjian Jiangdai was a little confused.

But after thinking about it, maybe Kurosawa felt that compared to a slender woman like Ikumi Gunita, Toru Amuro and Cowboy Detective looked more durable and might have a chance of surviving, so he continued to explore for a while longer.

Of course, in the end, the miracle of resurrection from the dead did not happen.

Chiken Kodai saw that on the monitoring screen, Kurosawa shook his head helplessly as if he had finally accepted the result of no survivors.His expression seemed a little sad, but to a very shallow degree, as if he was watching a drama that ended in tragedy through the glass.

Afterwards, the passer-by who was lying down at the end turned his head to look at the computer, thought for a moment, pulled away the stool in front of the computer desk, and sat down.

He reached out to touch the keyboard and typed slowly.

With the sound of the keyboard jumping, a line of words appeared on the computer in the secret room synchronously:

【I thought about it for a while just now, and I probably understand what the treasure is all about—would you like to listen to my layman's reasoning.

Please come to the restaurant if you can.Fluorescent things like screens make me dizzy.Things are too verbose for typed statements. 】

"..."

Granny Qianjian frowned and looked at the screen, hesitant.

Leaving the secret room to meet other people in the restaurant meant she would lose her pretense of identity and shed her protective shell of safety.

but……

She looked at the young man on the screen who was so weak that he seemed to die suddenly on the spot in the next second, and after thinking about his words, she felt that the problem should not be serious.

——Some behaviors of Kurosawa are indeed a bit strange, one of which is that at night, he insists on wearing sunglasses.

Before, Qianjian Jiangdai only thought that this was a strange trend among young people.

But now, when I think of Kurosawa in the piano room, after reading the fluorescent fonts on the piano, he suddenly became blurry; think about what he said on the computer just now, "things with fluorescent light will make me dizzy"... Besides , It seems that Matsuda has never seen Matsuda use a mobile phone.

...Judging from these circumstances, Matsuda probably wasn't lying—the fluorescent objects in his vision might indeed be the cause of his illness.

Chapter 608 Who Is The Real Host?

Although Sengen Kodai couldn't remember what kind of terminal illness it was, but there are so many strange diseases in the world, maybe Kurosawa really can't stare at the electronic screen for a long time.

...In this case, if she insisted on refusing to leave the secret room and asked Kuisawa to type the answer on the screen, what if Kurosawa was halfway through the typing, and the symptoms flared up, and the person suddenly disappeared, what should I do?

"..."

This feeling of "the answer that I have been searching for for more than 40 years is right in front of me, and when it will be unsealed in the next second, I shake my hand and throw the out-of-print reference answer into the fire"...

Qianjian Substituted it in, and couldn't help shivering.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally stretched out her hand and typed "OK" on the computer in front of her.

The answer was synchronized to the computer in the central control room.

Qianjian Xiadai looked at the screen.

In the surveillance screen, the young man in black smiled towards the direction of the camera, then slowly got up while supporting the computer desk, walked out the open door, and headed all the way to the restaurant.

Qianjian Jiangdai watched his figure break and pass by the adjacent monitors, took a deep breath, and made up his mind.

She turned and opened the door of the secret room, fell into the corridor, and walked towards the dining room as well.

……

Qianjian Jiangdai originally thought that according to "Kurosawa"'s slow pace, she would have to wait for a while before the young man came over.

Unexpectedly, when I came to the restaurant and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

Beside the dining table, there was already a person sitting upright.

——The young man in black sat on the "host" seat with a leisurely posture, stepping on the former plastic "host" that had not been removed.The "former host" who once made the detectives feel threatened is now like a corpse that was randomly abandoned, and like a silent footstep.The whole scene didn't seem to have any sense of disobedience, and it even made Qianjian Jiangdai stunned for a moment, suspecting that his plots and tricks were actually a fantasy, and the young man in front of him who had just met once today was the real one. The hand that stirred up the bloody wind in the annex.

Qianjian became nervous for no reason, and began to regret that he was blinded by "Kurosawa"'s weak appearance just now, anxious to hear news about the treasure, and didn't bring a gun with him.

Just when she was wondering whether to rush into the nearest guest room to find a weapon, the young man in the main seat looked up and saw her, and suddenly smiled: "It really is you, mother-in-law."

His tone was calm, and the "mother-in-law" sounded a little kind.

Following the words that broke the silence and the subtle changes in his expression, the dangerous aura that lingered around the young man in black just now disappeared instantly, like a cluster of illusory bubbles that never existed.

"..."

For some reason, Qianjian Jiangdai looked at him from a distance, and always felt that Kurosawa seemed to be in a good mood now... Obviously so many people died here just now.Could it be that the detectives refused to listen to Kurosawa's advice and insisted on suspecting each other, which led to the sudden blackening of this terminally ill patient before his death?

Uzo didn't care about her thoughts, and continued to say in that friendly tone:

"Affected by the building, the color of the soil in the courtyard of the Dusk Villa is slightly darker than other places in the forest - and when I met you, there was a little dust of a similar color on the mat of your driver's seat. So here Here, after figuring out the situation, I will inevitably have doubts about you.

"However, because the mother-in-law seems to be forced to do so, and several detectives seem to advocate violence, I am worried that if you expose it directly, you, an old man, will be abused and lynched by them in the mountains, or even killed in anger—the detective should It’s very good at destroying corpses and evading legal punishment—so I didn’t say it, I didn’t expect... things turned out like this in the end.”

"..." Qianjian Jiangdai was suddenly issued a good person card, and then heard that "Kurosawa" was so considerate of her, his heart softened.

His mouth softened a little.
