Conan's Corpse Picker

"However, about half an hour ago, he suddenly sent the script of a new episode. We tried to contact him immediately, but we still couldn't get in touch.

"At that time, we thought he wanted to hide and create quietly. But when we saw him again, he was already like this..."

The other crew members also nodded, confirming the director's statement.

Hattori Heiji listened carefully, then turned his head, and wanted to ask Jiang Xia if he had seen anyone who was suspected of being a screenwriter around when he was filming. During that time, he sneaked into the haunted house with Toyama and Ye, and failed to observe it with his own eyes.

However, as soon as he turned his head, Jiang Xia's eyes drooped slightly and fell on the calves of the crowd in front of him.

Chapter 635 Energy Mode

Hattori Heiji stared at Jiang Xia's pensive look, startled for a moment.

... If I remember correctly, every time Jiang Xia fell into thinking, his gaze would be slightly lower than usual like this.

After that, often not long after, Jiang Xia would suddenly solve the case and expose all the murderer's tricks.

"..." Unexpectedly, this time, Jiang Xia had a clue so quickly.Obviously, this case is different from just now. This time, the case took place on a campus where people come and go, and the suspect can run away after finishing the fight. But now, they haven't even identified the specific scope of the suspect...

Hattori Heiji sighed sadly.

But after hesitating for a moment, he temporarily gave up talking to Jiang Xia.

...Don't interrupt Jiang Xia's train of thought.What if he was thinking of the key point, and when he asked a question, his train of thought was interrupted by the conversation.

Although I am very concerned about the fact that Jiang Xia solves the case faster than him, but in order to eliminate the gap between the two, it really depends on the laggard to catch up, instead of trying to drag the leader back to the original place... In addition, this time although there are people Provide Jiang Xia with an alibi, but Toru Amuro and Jiang Xia are regarded as a group, and the testimony of the unscrupulous boss may not be effective. If the case is not solved as soon as possible, Jiang Xia has always been suspicious of being "pointed to by the deceased before death". Not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji turned to look aside, and ran to harass the crew: "Where is the newly sent script, and the previous script? Show me."

The deceased was a screenwriter who was in a state of disappearance, but now, he sent the second script with his front foot, and was beaten to death near the crew behind him... There may be a key secret hidden in this script.

The director has made many suspense dramas and knows many detectives, including of course Hattori Heiji, a Kansai high school student detective with obvious characteristics and a high degree of recognition.

Seeing that the police had no objection, he handed over the two scripts together.

Hattori Heiji got the script and flipped through it roughly.

Before I could take a closer look, I suddenly thought of other possible clues: "By the way, did your screenwriter take or leave any specific items when he left?"

The director thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "I don't know exactly what luggage he brought. However, after he disappeared, we asked the staff to open his room once - no one saw him for two consecutive days. We thought he was alone in the room and something happened. However, when we opened the room, there was no one in the room, only a note from him saying he was going to 'go away for a while'. He doesn't like to tidy up the room. The place was very messy and full of things, we didn’t take a closer look and left soon.”

The two of them just said a few words, next to him, Jiang Xia seemed to have regained his senses and approached.

Hattori Heiji glanced at it with complicated eyes, and felt a little distressed about the reasoning he had just unfolded—the puzzle that he got was suddenly solved by others.

However, this time, Jiang Xia didn't say "the murderer is probably XX" at the beginning, which caused the blood pressure of both colleagues and criminals to soar at the same time.

He just joined the team looking for clues like a serious detective: "In this case, let's go to the room of the dead first. According to experience, the places where the dead lived usually leave some useful hints."

"In addition, Hattori is right. There may also be clues hidden in these two scripts." Jiang Xia pointed to the two manuscripts in Hattori Heiji's hand, "Print a few more copies and send them to others. Maybe someone can use them to associate key hints."

"Okay." The director and the screenwriter have a good relationship. Although he is saddened by the death of his friend at this time, he is a big-hearted director who has filmed many suspense dramas. He quickly entered the state of a tool man and sent the script to Police, ask them to print more copies.

Then he began to lead the way again: "We live not far from here, at the Zhifeng Hotel two streets ahead."

Beside, Toru Amuro leaned against the tree and heard the word "hotel", his stagnant eyes moved slightly, and there was a little light again.

He straightened up and followed the team heading to the hotel to find clues.

——There are not many hotels around here, and what he and Jiang Xia booked happened to be this Zhifeng Hotel.

...Maybe you can find a chance to rest for a while.Looking at the building two streets away, Toru Amuro sighed silently.

……

When he arrived at the hotel, Jiang Xia discovered that the room where the deceased stayed was actually on the same floor as his room.

Toru Amuro's room is of course also nearby.

After Jiang Xia entered the screenwriter's room with the police and started searching for suspicious items.

Amuro looked at the police in the corridor and felt that the environment here was quite safe, so he temporarily gave up his plan of "stalking Jiang Xia himself" and told the nearby police.

In this case, Jiang Xia, who was persistently pointed at by the deceased, was an important witness.

And Toru Amuro, who was on the same road as Jiang Xia, naturally became a relatively important witness.

But the witness refused to stay with the police, and there was nothing the police could do.I can only write down Amuro Toru's room number first, and then continue to try to solve the case.

Toru Amuro successfully escaped from the scene, and his whole body relaxed a lot.He hurried back to his room.

……

A few kilometers away, in the tall and straight police station building.

Kazami Yuya wore a flashlight on his head, an electric shock device and an anesthesia gun on his waist, and two hypnotic bombs in his pocket that could "die together" if necessary. He crawled carefully in a section of ventilation duct.

When he was almost at the exit, his phone vibrated twice.

A phone call came in.

Kazami Yuya freed his hands, took out his phone, and glanced at the number displayed on the screen.

It turned out to be his reliable boss - Jiang Guling.

He immediately picked up the phone seriously and reported the situation:

"Mr. Jiang Gu, we have already checked floors 5 to 7, and we haven't found anything yet."

Amuro Toru's voice quickly came from the opposite side: "Well, don't worry, look slowly."

In this incident, Amuro Toru's requirements for the efficiency of his subordinates are actually not high.

——In his opinion, as early as a few hours ago, when the subordinates were waiting outside the bathroom for Matsuda to come out, Matsuda probably had already left the police station along the ventilation duct.

And he asked his subordinates to check the ventilation pipe again, just in case, to prevent Matsuda, whose health status is unknown, from being stranded in the pipe and turned into a corpse.

Therefore, this kind of low-standard task of "finding people before they starve to death" does not matter a few hours earlier or later... If it ends later, he can just rest for a while.

Toru Amuro thought of his own life these past few days, and couldn't help but sighed faintly: "... not being able to sleep is indeed a kind of torture."

Not being able to sleep and being disrupted by unexpected situations every day is even more so.

Chapter 636 Toru Amuro, Offline

Kazami Yuya: "...?"

In fact, he didn't quite understand why Toru Amuro suddenly popped up such a sentence.

But he intuitively felt that something was wrong with the tone of the devil's boss—it didn't sound so devilish anymore, but rather like he had been ravaged by the devil.

...Speaking of which, before their team set off, Jiang Xia was the suspect of the cadre codenamed "Uzuo".

Although along the way, the possibility of "Jiangxia=Uzuo" has been greatly reduced with the revelation of Jiangxia's incident, but now...they are all looking for someone at the police station, and Mr. Jianggu will not be overturned.

Kazami Yuya had a bad premonition in his heart, and became alert: "Jiao... are you okay."

"I'm fine." Toru Amuro had already finished his shower quickly. At this time, he was pressing the remote control to close the curtains, and pulled the soft quilt of the star hotel up to his chin, lying in the environment without Jiang Xia or screaming. It feels like these days have never been better:

"You pick two people who are good at stalking, come to Zhifeng Hotel as local policemen, and record Jiang Xia's actions for me-there happens to be a ready-made case here, and many policemen have come, so it won't be very conspicuous if you come here directly.

"Remember not to choose someone who has appeared around us before, Jiang Xia has a good memory, so be careful not to be discovered by him.

"Okay, let's do this first. If there is nothing important during this time, don't contact me."

Then he hung up the phone neatly.

Feng Jian Yuya: "..."

He originally wanted to ask about Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo.

However, after thinking about it: Mr. Jiang Gu suddenly delegated the tracking task, which may in turn show that Jiang Xia's problem is not serious.

... But, since Jiang Xia has no problem, why doesn't Mr. Jiang Gu allow him to take the initiative to contact?During this period of time, Mr. Jiang Gu's job is to identify whether Jiang Xia is that code-named cadre.The task of organizing can only be done in Gunma County.

Kazami Yu also noticed a slight violation, and wanted to call back immediately to ask for clarification.

In the end, however, between curiosity and command, command prevailed.

He silently put down the phone.

——Maybe Mr. Jiang Gu encountered some unexpected situation, such as a sudden encounter with a member of an organization carrying important information.

If that's the case, don't bother Mr. Jiang Gu.Maybe he is about to start a hidden contest with those dangerous members as "Bourbon". If this is the case, if he suddenly makes a phone call, it may cause some irreparable losses.

Thinking of this, Kazami Yu also carefully exited the call interface to avoid touching it by mistake.

After a while, he sent an email to his other teammates, asking them to pick two public faces and go to the hotel to stare at Jiang Xia.

Surveillance is one aspect.On the other hand, Jiang Xia's mobile phone is still with them, and it has been blown up in name, so there is no way to replace it immediately.

Under such circumstances, a well-known detective with an incident physique is in a different place, and always feels that he is prone to encounter all kinds of strange emergencies.It is necessary to send someone over there to watch as soon as possible, so as not to cause further complications.

……

Zhifeng Hotel.

in the room of the dead.

The deceased seemed to have had a lot of energy occupied by other things during his lifetime and had no time to pay attention to hygiene.His room was littered with scattered books and clumps of paper, and leftover food in the corner.As the door was hung with a "no cleaning" sign and the windows were closed tightly, the air was filled with an unpleasant smell after a few days, and even the whole room became dirty.

Jiang Xia originally wanted to follow to find clues.

However, a second after stepping into this room, he rationally changed his mind.

—There are so many policemen here.Searching this kind of thing should really be left to professionals.If he, an inexperienced high school student detective, went in and fumbled around, he might destroy some key evidence...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia first instinctively returned to the soft carpeted corridor.

After discovering that the smell could be smelled here too, he entered the room again and walked to the window.And after the police check, opened the window, while breathing the fresh air outside, while watching the progress of other people's search.

……

Hattori Heiji was not that particular, he rummaged around among the police officers.

What the police have seen, he will go through it again for insurance, so as not to miss clues.

After all, Hattori Heiji is really hard to trust his police teammates.And Jiang Xia, who was next to him, respected the police too much, so he didn't search for it out of the consideration of protecting the scene...

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji glanced at Jiang Xia who was standing in the corner, leaning against the window, with a low sense of presence, trying not to cause trouble to the police, and sighed.

——I can only come by myself.
