Conan's Corpse Picker

There were only four people left in the team of six just now.

In the darkness, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha looked at each other, with a strange light shining in their eyes.

Two male college students passing by took the initiative to leave.That's nice -- that way, they don't have to worry about the two of them delaying their rescue, or getting into trouble or danger.

……

The owner of the haunted house told them to continue to visit, and the four of them followed the path he pointed out with their own minds.

The three high school students huddled together intentionally or unintentionally, keeping a little distance from Toru Amuro behind them.

The four continued to move forward.

Amidst the background sound of ghost screams, Jiang Xia suddenly felt a movement out of the corner of his eye.

——Behind him, Hattori Heiji swayed nonchalantly, blocking the line of sight between them and Toru Amuro.Almost at the same time, Yuan Shan and Ye approached with tacit cooperation, and whispered in Jiang Xia's ear: "Don't move around for a while, trust us!"

Jiang Xia didn't understand: "Huh?"

As soon as the words fell, the haunted house suddenly turned off the lights.

The originally dim lighting was completely turned off this time, and the surroundings were plunged into deep darkness.

However, this cannot affect Jiang Xia's vision at this time.

——He soon discovered that there were strange strong men running over in the dark from the small fork road next to him, and there were more than one of them.

Just as he was watching with some doubts, at this moment, his waist suddenly tightened, and his whole body suddenly flew into the air - Hattori Heiji picked up the person and ran away skillfully, while Toyama and Ye followed closely behind them.The two of them seemed to be able to see at night, narrowly bypassing a lot of obstacles, and under the cover of howling "zombies", they escaped like thieves who successfully stole vegetables.

Jiang Xia looked at the strong men and Toru Amuro who were gradually going away in the corridor, and then at the two Osaka classmates: "...?"

……

behind them.

Toru Amuro was also taken aback by the sudden darkness, unable to determine whether it was a special project of the haunted house or a simple circuit failure.

But complete darkness still makes people uncomfortable, especially in such an unfamiliar environment.

Toru Amuro took out his mobile phone, wanted to turn on the flashlight to ensure his vision, and at the same time planned to take a photo in the direction where he heard the footsteps just now - for some reason, the footsteps sounded rather heavy.He suspected that the two male college students had come running back in some huge zombie doll costume.

However, as soon as he turned on the screen of the phone, he saw a few crudely made strong ghosts suddenly rushing over and surrounded him in the faint light.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

……what's the situation?

Let's say it's human, the strong men are wearing some bandage-like zombie supplies.

But to say it was a ghost, just relying on those few bandages, it was really very perfunctory.

...However, this posture surrounded by people from all directions is quite scary.Could it be that the lighting suddenly went out to cover up the shortage of funds?

……

When Toru Amuro found out that someone was trying to surround him, he originally wanted to do it.

But thinking of the trick he accidentally knocked out just now, and the scene he was forced to take over because of it, he was also worried that the people around him were also some kind of haunted house group performer, and he was unsure whether to act or not.

When he was surrounded by a group of strong men, he was lost in thought.

the other side.

……

Jiang Xia glanced at Toru Amuro who quickly disappeared from the field of vision, and then looked at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha who did not stop: "...what's wrong?"

Hattori Heiji listened carefully, and found that Toru Amuro hadn't caught up. He glanced at the phone again, and saw that there was no signal on it—the surrounding signals had been blocked.

Then he said in a low voice: "Before, He Ye and I sneaked in from the side while the staff was not there, and memorized this section of the road. The people I arranged to turn off the lights just now—the control room of this haunted house It's right next to the gate, unguarded, not difficult to operate."

Halfway through, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

He touched his neck based on his feeling, and suddenly grabbed a hand that was poised to rest there.

"..." Hattori Heiji stayed for half a second, then suddenly realized.

The rest of his words froze immediately, and he said dryly, "Well, can you take your hand away first."

I always feel that Jiang Xia will suddenly pinch him hard in the next second, or grab him by the collar and swing him to the ground before pulling out his stick... It’s been a long time since I saw Jiang Xia hit someone, and I almost forgot that this is a violent person wearing the appearance of a friendly detective molecular.Hiss, speaking of it, just now when he was suddenly carrying someone in the darkness, Jiang Xia didn't do it directly... Thinking about it this way, besides being afraid, there was even a trace of inexplicable emotion...

Jiang Xia: "..."

He patted Hattori Heiji casually, pretending that it wasn't an instinctive reaction after flying into the air, but just helping him.

Then he broke free with a little effort, fell back to the ground, and turned back to the original topic as if nothing happened: "I didn't ask how you knew the way...why did you run away suddenly?"

Hattori Heiji felt that Jiang Xia was "protectively acting stupid", so he took out his phone, and with a hint of pride in his hidden achievements and fame, he showed Jiang Xia the "no signal" icon in the corner:

"Don't worry, the signals have been blocked. Those 'staff' surrounding Toru Amuro are all trustworthy police officers. He can't send any news now."

After finishing speaking, he found that Jiang Xia did not "take a sigh of relief and immediately tell them who is the hostage in Toru Amuro's hands", but just looked at them in a daze.

Hattori Heiji's "Plan √" smile gradually disappeared.

"..."

He was silent for a moment, and then again.

After a few seconds, I found that Jiang Xia still didn't give any hint or express, and finally had to face the reality.

Hattori Heiji tentatively asked: "...Aren't you kidnapped by that scumbag boss?"

Chapter 626

Just now, when Jiang Xia saw those strong men rushing towards Amuro Toru, he actually vaguely understood why Hattori Heiji suddenly wanted to take him away - Jiang Xia had a good memory, and his eyesight would not be weakened by the dark environment.So as soon as the big guys rushed out, he could see the faces of those people clearly.Not long ago, Jiang Xia and Toru Amuro just came back from the police station in Tottori Prefecture. If I remember correctly, there were several of them whom he had just met at the police station.

... Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that the people who carried out the raid were actually a group of policemen.

Considering the frequency of contact between Hattori Heiji and Conan, as well as Conan's vigilance towards Amuro Toru, it is probably the brains of the two high school detectives who have a little connection.

It's just that Jiang Xia didn't expect that Hattori Heiji's mobility is so strong that he can borrow police tools in Tottori.

……

Considering that high school students are just the age to face.

Considering that the shameless high school student may avoid him in the future if he feels that he is dead.

Therefore, in the face of Hattori Heiji's inquiry, Jiang Xia did not directly deny it, but looked back with a little doubt, letting Hattori Heiji realize it by himself - the cruel truth that he realized by himself is better than hearing it from others. Some, relatively speaking, are not so embarrassing...

"..."

"........."

Although Hattori Heiji is extremely slow in emotion, but in other places, he is quite sensitive.

Just now, after showing Jiang Xia's cell phone showing "no signal" and telling him that the signal is blocked, but Jiang Xia still didn't say anything, Hattori Heiji actually had a vague premonition in his heart.

Now, I saw Jiang Xia's puzzled expression of "What are you talking about?"

Hattori Heiji finally fully realized that maybe maybe...was he thinking too much?

"..." He thought of Conan's conjecture that "Jiang Xia must have been kidnapped by that unscrupulous boss!", and felt that the boat of friendship between himself and Kudo was crumbling.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji's face turned black and then light black.

Finally, he came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Xia: "...why haven't you been using your mobile phone lately?"

Jiang Xia sighed helplessly: "The client this time seems to have encountered unruly detectives before, and the news was leaked, so he has high requirements for confidentiality. The boss is familiar with him, but a stranger like me trusts him. It's not too much, so I always left my phone in the car. Also, I heard from the boss that my phone accidentally blew up along with the car yesterday..."

"...Didn't you ever think that they are actually colluding in advance and trying to make you 'accidentally killed'?" Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched, struggling to die, "Also, why do you always go to deep mountains and old forests? , don’t you think those places are very suitable for silence?”

Jiang Xia: "..."

Now it's time to ask the boss's precious dice... No, it's his precious dice now.

Of course, you can't speak directly about the dice.

After all, detectives have to believe in science.

Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, thinking about how to answer this question scientifically.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him, answering for him: "Because we are looking for someone."

...It was Toru Amuro's voice.

——Unscrupulous surrounded by strong men... Cough, innocent boss, I don't know when he followed.

There are ghosts in Jiangxia reporting the news, so it is not a surprise to this visitor.

Hattori Heiji was habitually vigilant.

Yuan Shan and Ye were also startled, and subconsciously hid in the distance.But after thinking about it, Jiang Xia said that Amuro Toru is not a bad person...

She stopped where she was again, nervously watching.

Toru Amuro pretended not to notice the abnormality of the high school students.

He answered Hattori Heiji's question in a natural tone: "The entrustment we received this time is to find a person who has suicidal tendencies. When we follow the traces left by him, we must not let go of the deep mountains and old forests when we search all the way. Those so-called suicide holy places in the city... well, if you go on, you will violate the confidentiality requirements-are you satisfied with this answer?"

Hattori Heiji nodded awkwardly.

... This reason is barely justified.

More importantly, Jiang Xia found out that the signal was blocked before, but still didn't tell him anything... From these points of view, maybe this "kidnapping incident" is really just a misunderstanding?

…Speaking of this, Hattori Heiji suddenly wondered—why is the unscrupulous boss here?

What about the police helpers he found?

Hattori Heiji glanced behind Toru Amuro.

I didn't see the group of police officers he borrowed from his father.

At this time, several people just ran to the control room of the haunted house.

Hattori Heiji put down his doubts first, walked into the control room in the dark, and turned on the lights that had been turned off.

With a soft click, the haunted house returned to its previous state with dim light.

Then he turned off the signal jammers brought by the police, and returned to the corridor pretending nothing happened:

"The staff of the haunted house told us to wait for him in the X-ray room... Let's go back and have a look. Didn't we promise to help him see how the 'corpse' is performing?"

After finishing speaking, Hattori Heiji's face was calm, and he quickly left and fled the scene of the death, his figure was as fast as a dark shadow that merged into a haunted house.
