Conan's Corpse Picker

So, just look at the current words: Jiang Xia's travel route was decided by Amuro Toru, and the clothes were also ordered by Amuro Toru. After discovering the camera, Jiang Xia was asked to keep quiet and stay in his room quietly, and room 207 was vacated. Toru Amuro...

Conan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Maybe my own thinking has gone astray from the beginning.Boss Amuro's purpose is not to murder Jiang Xia, but to use Jiang Xia's reputation to appear here naturally, and then use these conditions to skillfully kill the deceased and get rid of himself?

"..." Using various murders to achieve one's real goal... If it is true, such a method is really hard to guard against.And it's also extremely difficult to debunk.

Finding the physical evidence of the murder is already a troublesome part.But now, there is no evidence that Toru Amuro broke the law or abetted it, everything is just speculation.

I really hope this is just overthinking...

Conan sighed in his heart. On the one hand, he expected this to be just a coincidence. On the other hand, he had to prepare for the worst—Toru Amuro manipulated the murder.So as not to lose the chain due to lack of preparation at the critical moment.

After all, when facing vicious gangsters, opportunities are often fleeting.

……

The other people present didn't think as much as Conan did.

Although Toru Amuro also felt that the murder case was solved very cleverly and quickly.But along the way, this level of coincidence has been difficult to arouse his vigilance.

What's more, he himself plays a dominant role in these coincidences, and the choice made by "himself" is not easy to raise suspicion.Few people suddenly feel that the decisions they make independently are actually controlled by others.

...Of course, the most important thing is that Toru Amuro was not controlled in the first place, he was indeed acting completely according to his own will.

……

Shancuncao failed to deduce the murderer just now, but seeing Jiang Xia now, he inevitably felt a little guilty.

At the same time, he slowly realized that this is a powerful detective, so he simply followed the police instinct and leaned over: "Speaking of which, what exactly is in that box? It's worth them killing each other."

Although the fake Jiang Xia opened the box last night.But at that time, his back was facing the monitor, covering the inside of the box.

Only relying on the surveillance video sent by "passing eyes", the truth is still unclear.

Jiang Xia turned to look at Shancuncao.Although this confused policeman failed to squeeze out the murderous intent of the boss, he didn't work hard enough.But after thinking about it, Shancun Cao also seems to have the constitution to summon cases, and he has encountered serial murders frequently.

So he said in a friendly tone, patiently: "It's an old newspaper from September five years ago. Kumamoto Sports News, the title is "Akagi Maru's First Victory". You can go to the local library to look it up, there should be a backup."

"Quickly contact the person over there to look for it, and send a photocopy."

Shancuncao turned his head when he heard the words, and sent a subordinate to look for him like a microphone.

Then I wondered belatedly: "Is there only one newspaper?"

"That's right." The innkeeper suddenly said when he heard this.

He was deeply impressed by the "unrivaled reasoning" of Shancuncao just now, and he didn't want to go through it again, so he interrupted hastily: "I was also there at the time. After the box was handed over to Mr. Jiang Xiaxiao, it never left my box until it was opened." Sight, the contents inside are indeed only an old newspaper, which has not been swapped."

... The hotel owner originally thought that this foolish policeman would fight again.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Shancuncao, he looked at him with condemnation: "Of course! A detective like Jiang Xia, how could he drop the contents of your box! Speaking of which, you have entrusted him to investigate, and you even stared at the box the whole time... ...What about the trust between people?!"

"..." The hotel owner rolled up his sleeves unconsciously, "*&#￥%..."

Jiang Xia glanced at him subconsciously, and almost at the same time, two transparent phantoms flashed across his eyes.

——The mermaid and Miss Spider jumped out at the same time, and bounced towards the innkeeper.When they came back, they brought with them an extremely meager but real murderous aura.

This kind of murderous aura, although the amount is very small, does not care about satiation at all.But it looks like a misty veil.

The two ghosts and Akemi Miyano got together and started gesticulating at it, like several fashion designers surrounding a piece of rare fabric.

Due to the lack of murderous aura and too many people around at this time, it is difficult for Jiang Xia to reach out to push the ghosts away and rescue the murderous aura - from the perspective of normal people, it is a bit strange to interact with the air.

Chapter 662 Multiple Faces

So Jiang Xia finally didn't care about the murderous intent.

After being played with by ghosts for a while, the murderous intent will not decrease.It's just that when I start to drink it later, I always feel weird when I think of it being used as a toy.

So in the tattoo space, Jiang Xia cleverly divided the killing intent into several piles.Among them is a small pile, which is dedicated to the murderous spirit played by the ghosts, and is prepared to be used to feed the mermaid who loves to play around with food...

After giving up pulling the killing intent from the ghosts.

Jiang Xia looked at the innkeeper again.I saw that he was only a little murderous on impulse, and had no further output, so there was no need to continue to stare.

He just looked back.

At the same time, I couldn't help but glance at Toru Amuro: Boss, look at other people's boss...

……

Shancun Cao didn't care about the innkeeper's violent veins, and he didn't mean to annoy people just now, he just said what he thought, and his mouth was always faster than his brain.

"The newspaper is not in the room now, was it taken away by the murderer?"

When the detectives helped him stop the innkeeper, Yamamura Misao fell into a new thought:

"Also, why is it an old newspaper? Could it be some kind of code? Or was there a piece of gold or a small piece of diamond secretly inserted in the newspaper, but you didn't notice it at the time..."

"We went through it carefully, and nothing was caught in the newspaper. It might be something like a treasure map."

Jiang Xia meditated with him, as if recalling what he saw last night: "Although there is no evidence, the title of the newspaper is 'Akagi Maru', and Akagi Maru was 'Dongqiantou' at the time—this may be implying 'Head' The 'front' in the forest of gods fell to the ground.

"In addition, I remember that on one page, his record was printed, 14 wins and one loss. The loss happened to be the 8th game.

"So the meaning of the whole newspaper may be to start from that dizang and go eastward for eight steps, or eight meters."

The hotel owner was taken aback: "You guessed it yesterday?"... Otherwise, with so many records in the game, why do you want to remember Akagi Maru?

Jiang Xia sighed: "I did have some ideas last night. But it was too late at that time, and the weather was very bad. If I braved the storm to dig in the woods at night, it would be dangerous. And about the 'falling forward and going eastward' 8' This point is just a speculation, and the marks on the newspaper may have other meanings, so I want to wait until dawn."

"..." The innkeeper originally thought that Jiang Xia was too calm, but after thinking about it carefully, if Jiang Xia really said it in advance, then according to her personality of exploring, she might really go there with a shovel in the middle of the night... So for the time being Silence fell.

Next to him, another boss, Toru Amuro, was not dissatisfied with Jiang Xia's concealment of the "treasure map".

...Because Jiang Xia actually told him yesterday.

Last night, when he was about to fall asleep, Jiang Xia, who was laying the floor next door, seemed to be thinking seriously.

Then, when he was finally about to fall asleep, Jiang Xia seemed to suddenly understand the mystery of the newspaper, told the speculation about the treasure, and asked him if he should tell the hotel owner to complete this temporary door-to-door commission as soon as possible.

At that time, Amuro was wrapped in a warm quilt, listening to the violent wind and rain outside the window, and felt that if the treasure was buried for a few more hours, it would not grow wings and fly.Moreover, they have just arrived here, so they don't know much about the boss's temperament. What if the shovel goes down and digs up something terrible like a hidden corpse, and then the murderer hiding in the hotel realizes that he is exposed and escapes at night... It's late at night Yes, it is really difficult to chase people, and with the heavy rain, even police dogs are hard to come in handy...

In short, it is better to wait until there is a signal and it is convenient to call the police at any time before digging.

Jiang Xia has always been a very considerate subordinate. Hearing what he said last night, he immediately had no objection, and decided to tell the innkeeper the next day.

Amuro Toru was able to continue sleeping.

After that, when I woke up this morning, An Shitou slept refreshed, and accidentally forgot this little episode of half-dream and half-awake... Who would have thought that something would happen that night.

Speaking of...

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro forgot to glance at the direction of the restaurant.

I haven't had time to eat breakfast today, and the people in the room should be similar, especially Mao Li and his group... Aren't they hungry?

……

The mountain village is not hungry.

On the contrary, he is very excited now.

The word "treasure map" itself represents mystery and wealth... Although as a policeman, even if he digs up something, he can only hand it over to the country or return it to the owner, but this does not prevent him from experiencing treasure digging. wonderful process.

He waved his hands at his subordinates: "Did you hear that, go dig!"

Then I couldn't help but ran out excitedly, and borrowed a shovel from the innkeeper who disliked him very much.

……

Of course the detectives followed suit, pursuing the case, which seemed to have become some kind of instinct.

Mao Lilan was walking in the woods with a group of people, listening to the police and local staff discussing the suicide legend in the "Head God Forest" and the murder of the man in red, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.She crossed her arms, feeling cold all over.

Just as I was about to hug something warm and light, I felt courageous when suddenly a scent wafted from my side.

He turned around suspiciously.

I saw Jiang Xia holding several packaged beef buns, and handed one to her: "You haven't had breakfast yet, here you are."

Then hold the food bag and send it all the way down.In the end he saved one for himself, and took a steaming bite.

"..." Mao Lilan took a bite, feeling much warmer, and narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Next to her, Conan's movements and expressions are completely in sync with hers.It's just that he doesn't know why, although the steamed stuffed bun in his hand is delicious, he always intuitively feels that he seems to have missed something...

This inexplicable thought quickly dissipated.Conan concentrated on eating breakfast - they didn't eat well yesterday, and just wanted to put down their luggage to eat today, but unfortunately encountered a murder case and didn't have time to eat.Fortunately, Jiang Xia wisely took some portable breakfast.People tend to feel cold when they are hungry, but the current body feeling is gradually becoming more comfortable.

An Shitou glanced at the steamed bun in his hand, then took a bite, feeling that Jiang Xia's movements of distributing breakfast showed a hint of proficiency.

And this bun...

He wondered, "Where did it come from?"

Jiang Xia ate her breakfast on time and lived a healthy life: "When I passed by the restaurant just now, I asked the staff to get it."

...When Conan is nearby, it is common sense to keep an eye on the portable food around you.

Even Hui Yuanai has gradually realized this truth, and often makes some portable food for him, so that he can take it and eat it at any time.Presumably after some time, the boss will understand this truth.

And with the strength of Amuro's organization's funds, when he realizes it, maybe he will be able to usher in a more luxurious upgraded version of portable dishes... Jiang Xia is looking forward to this future.

Chapter 663 A Ghost Exorcist

The buns were finished quickly, and a group of people wiped their hands and got ready to work.

However, along the way, I didn't see where the "falling forward and hiding" was at all.

Before, although some criminal police were sent around to look for the missing Shenbao Nobita.But they still have enough people to dig out the treasures—not to mention a few young and strong detectives, there are several curious employees who are willing to help in the hotel alone.

Due to the large number of people, on the way here, Shancun Cao simply divided them into two groups—according to Jiang Xia’s two conjectures, after finding the "Front Ksitigarbha", one group will dig eight meters away from the Ksitigarbha. The other group dug at the place where the toe touches the heel for eight steps, which can effectively verify.

However, I walked along the path until I saw two cars colliding with each other in the distance...

Amuro fell silent.

... Half of it was because my new car, which was in good shape, not only had a flat tire, but was also suddenly hit.The car in the back looked familiar... No wonder Mori Kogoro was so polite to him today.

The other half is because the place where he parked is a symbol of some kind.

Toru Amuro shouted to the policemen who were still buried in their heads:
