Conan's Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia: "..." He didn't seem to say anything, and the pots flew over one by one, and piled on the boss.

... well, it's not a big deal.

Although Conan is an all-rounder who graduated from a special training class in Hawaii, as a primary school student, he has no right to arrest people. Even if he gets involved with the FBI in the future, this place will still be the territory of the island country police for the time being.

In short, in the eyes of red squares like Conan, no matter how much blame the boss has on him, the police can find various reasons not to arrest him, not to mention that Toru Amuro would never leave anyone with a clue for arrest.

Thinking that the boss is a heavy-duty king who can carry countless heavy pots on his shoulders and will never fall, Jiang Xia's guilty conscience immediately dissipated a lot.

So when faced with Conan's question, he hesitated to speak for a while: "I have a request."

Then when Conan's eyes were fixed and he wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, he sighed and cut off the other party's words: "Don't ask." Accompanied by a deep pat on the head, like a mature adult who is under countless pressures. To the ignorant children who questioned, "I don't want to say."

Conan: "..."

... He really likes to ask questions, and he is also good at this. He can always hit the point accurately, until the truth is asked, or someone interrupts, or the other party can't stand the pestering and wants to attack him.

But no matter what the situation is, those people he asked, basically answered while sweating, to the limit... But now, Jiang Xia suddenly asked him very clearly not to ask.

Conan was briefly lost in thought.

. . . He was rarely asked "don't ask".In fact, Conan still wanted to ask, but the sense of morality that a detective should have made it difficult for him to refuse for a while.

After a little tangled effort, the topic has gone off track.

"We almost have to go back." Jiang Xia took out his phone, pressed the button to look at the date, and then turned to Conan, "Since you have finished reading Maple Leaf, do you want to drop by?"

While talking, Jiang Xia was secretly thinking: Although the task is over, the incident should not be over yet.On the way back, not only did I have to pass through half of Gunma County, but I also passed through Saitama County before arriving in Tokyo.On the way, whenever the boss blows a tire once or twice...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia stood up, temporarily left Conan, who was full of thoughts, and walked to Amuro Toru's room expectantly.It is the maple leaf season here, and there are many guests staying overnight.Their rooms are not next to each other, separated by a distance.

……

Then when I got to the place, I found a small cart in the corridor, and the cleaner was cleaning up the room.

Jiang Xia thought at first that this might just be a daily cleaning.

But the probe went in and took a look, and all the luggage was gone.

"...?"

...what about people?

With so much luggage, even if some of it is confidential, it is impossible for Toru Amuro to carry the luggage with him while having breakfast or taking a walk.At most, the confidential part will be drawn out.

But now...no, nothing.

Shouldn't...

A bad premonition gradually emerged in Jiang Xia's heart.

Following behind, Conan, who was watching vigilantly, was also stunned.

Jiang Xia looked at the empty room for a while, then turned to the cleaner who had noticed him.

Looking at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia hesitated and said, "Well, the people who live here..."

The cleaner recalled the record on the dispatch list: "The gentleman has already checked out."

Jiang Xia: "?"

Conan: "??"

Conan was puzzled for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Xia.

Seeing that Jiang Xia's surprise was very real, she seemed completely unaware of it.

And for some reason, Conan found that after his neighbor was stunned, his eyes fell to the air next to him, and he seemed to be distracted, but Conan couldn't be sure if it was his own illusion—he always felt that Jiang Xia When he was in a daze, his gaze was not on the potted plants in the corner, but more like hovering in mid-air.

"..." Although he didn't know what happened, this kind of weird situation still made Conan alert.

He reached out and tugged at Jiang Xia's clothes: "Are you okay?"

"……fine."

Jiang Xia looked back from the strange landing point, and the whole person looked much more normal.Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked in that direction again, but saw nothing.In the end, it had to be regarded as the dust was stirred up by the cleaners when cleaning, and Jiang Xia was looking at them.

When Conan faced the air and observed suspiciously.

Beside, Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and went downstairs, walked through the corridor and the simple stairs, all the way to the front desk.

……

"You mean the gentleman with a Japanese name who looks foreign?"

It was a bit early, and the front desk hadn't switched over yet. Among the people on duty, there happened to be the front desk who helped Amuro through the formalities in the middle of the night.

She obviously still had an impression of Toru Amuro: "The gentleman checked out early in the morning and left overnight, saying that there was something urgent...By the way, you are Jiang Xia, right?"

The receptionist endured it for a long time, but he couldn’t help but turn into a star-eyed person as he talked—looking at Jiang Xia up close, compared to watching it on TV, it has a different taste... I want to reach out and pinch it to see if it’s true Yes, but as a hotel employee, that seemed too rude.

Chapter 700 The Runaway Toru Amuro

Jiang Xia's eyes moved, and he quickly noticed the strange light in the front desk's eyes.

He wondered for a moment, and began to wonder if this beautiful receptionist was a peripheral member left behind by Toru Amuro—maybe the boss didn't leave, but just left him a friend in order to avoid acquaintances like Conan and Mori father and daughter Connection code, need to go quietly?

Thinking of this, facing the question from the front desk, Jiang Xia nodded cautiously.

The front desk got an affirmative answer.She buried her body and took out a bulging travel bag from behind the counter.

Then put it on the table and pushed it to Jiang Xia, his eyes were fixed on him, and he smiled sweetly: "The gentleman said this is your luggage, let us remember to hand it over to you."

"..." Jiang Xia took the travel bag, feeling ready to move.But rationality made him calmly not open it right away. After all, this is a hotel lobby, surrounded by tourists of unknown status, and people coming and going.

Good thing they can't see ghosts.

Resolutely let the ghosts squirm into the bag and take a look.

Then Jiang Xia was very disappointed to find that there was nothing in it except some changes of clothes and daily necessities, as well as an envelope containing cash.

If you take a closer look, the letter is an ordinary letter, the money is ordinary money, and the clothes are ordinary clothes... There is nothing that can be regarded as a "signature", and it is impossible to decipher any joint location from it.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xia turned on the phone again, looked through the mailbox carefully, and clicked into the trash can to take a look.

There was no news from Toru Amuro in the mailbox.

When he was staring at the phone in a daze, the phone suddenly vibrated.

Perhaps because it was his wake-up time, and he felt that it was too suspicious not to send a letter after so long, Toru Amuro finally sent a short message—【I have other tasks to deal with.The current mission is over, you can act freely]

Jiang Xia: "..."

It seems that the boss really left, and he left very decisively.

Jiang Xia sighed silently: Is there any task that cannot be discussed?Take him to take a look together, he is such a good tool man, he doesn't talk much, works hard, and gives his boss face.

...Unfortunately, it is useless to say these now.

Jiang Xia calculated the time the front desk told him. At this time, at the boss's speed, it is enough to run back to the boss's hometown.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help sighing again, and looked at the mermaid hiding behind the flower pot.

Last night, it was the mermaid's and Miyano Akemi's turn to be on duty, and Miyano Akemi had been standing by his side all the time weaving flower ropes and was in charge of waking him up in case any perverted murderer broke into the room.The mermaid is responsible for patrolling around, and it happens that she can't be free.

As a result, when Belmode left, the mermaid reluctantly chased him for a short distance, until the distance was so far that it would burn too much murderous aura and wake up Jiang Xia, and then happily floated back with a cloud of apple-flavored murderous aura.

Toru Amuro probably slipped away during that time.

This fake bottle of bourbon is not the same as gin and Belmode.He doesn't have the perennial murderous aura around him, it seems that only when he is face to face with the organization cadres, or when he is doing a very "organizational style" task, will he enter the state of the coffee-smelling murderous aura.

... This led to the fact that no matter whether it was Jiang Xia or Gui, the observation of him would inevitably be lacking.

And the most important thing is... Jiang Xia didn't expect Toru Amuro to leave without saying hello.

Otherwise, a ghost should be specially released, floating into Amuro Toru's room to stare at him, and then at the right time, make the boss lack the physical conditions to leave, such as making him lose the car that is working normally... Tsk, careless.

……

After checking Amuro Toru's whereabouts at the front desk.

Conan followed Jiang Xia back like a tail, hesitant to speak along the way.

Although Jiang Xia said not to ask, there seemed to be more and more mysteries. If he didn't ask again, Conan felt that he would also collapse into a mess of mysteries.

He hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally made up his mind before Jiang Xia returned to the room, and chased after him: "Why did you leave your luggage with Boss Amuro?"

At the same time, he looked at the travel bag suspiciously.I'm worried that there's something terribly illegal in it.

"..." Because I have no luggage at all, Jiang Xia said casually, "Because I can't fit in my own room."

Conan: "..."

This reason, which even Kogoro Mori would not believe, very frankly shows the perfunctory of the respondent.

Conan realized slowly that the sentence "Don't ask" that Jiang Xia just said actually contained another meaning behind the package that came with "You can't get anything if you ask".

He had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and try to sort out this messy trip on his own.

Of course, the first step to find out the truth is to follow up with Jiang Xia's room cheekily and try to observe the things in the travel bag.

If it is really an illegal product, it is still too late to call the police - those people at the front desk and lobby will prove that this bag was given to Jiang Xia by someone else, and Jiang Xia is just an unlucky victim.

After entering the room, Jiang Xia opened the bag.

Conan leaned over to take a look, and was shocked to find that the bag was really just ordinary luggage.

The only suspicious thing was an envelope containing money.

But it was obviously not illegal funds, because there was only [-] yen in it, and Jiang Xia earned it back just by accepting commissions casually.Compared with dirty cash flow, this is more like a subsidy for travel expenses and living expenses. Judging from the amount, Toru Amuro seems to be a conscientious boss who does not exploit employees.

Since it's ordinary luggage... Could it be that these luggage are just used as hostages?Was Toru Amuro detaining Jiang Xia by detaining his luggage before?

This ineffective method doesn't seem to fit the sinister image of a scumbag boss... Also, why did Toru Amuro suddenly leave now?

Conan just felt confused.

First of all, Boss Amuro ran away, probably not because he met enthusiastic people like him and the Mori family, because the two sides had met before.At that time, Toru Amuro did not give any response.

I heard that a few days ago, the Hattori specially dispatched the police to arrest people, but in the end there was no result.

And Conan remembers that Hattori Heiji, the second-generation policeman, secretly shared information with him after inquiring about it, saying that similar things happened more than once—even Kidd, who ran into him on the way, reported Amuro Toru, saying that he was a human trafficker who kidnapped innocent high school students .

As a result, Toru Amuro is fine so far.

Of course, Conan and Hattori Heiji agreed that this does not mean that Toru Amuro has no problems.
