Conan's Corpse Picker

I always feel very sorry.

Haibara Ai and Conan next to him: "..."

Although they didn't ask a few children in detail, they always felt that what Ayumi and the others were afraid of might not be the murder case, but something else that the murder case would attract...

Chapter 804 Corrupt Organization

But of course you can't say this to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia seems to like those children quite a bit. If she knows the truth, she may feel sad about being excluded.

Haibara Ai and Conan made the same decision at the same time, strangled the truth firmly under the water, and smiled: "After all, they are a group of children, and it is inevitable to be afraid when they see a corpse."

After saying this, for some reason, Jiang Xia really looked a little sad... Maybe he saw through their clumsy lies.

Conan observed this change, and sighed in his heart: How many times have I said that Jiang Xia is not a dangerous person, why the three children just don't believe it...

Forget it, forget about it.

A child's mind is like Juneteenth, unpredictable, so it's better to look at the case first.

The three of them were standing beside a crooked river at this time.

Across the river stood an old building waiting to be demolished.

Conan pointed to the river, and then to the building:

"When we were catching fish just now, a remote-controlled boat dragged a balloon and passed quickly through the center of the river. Immediately afterwards, the balloon burst suddenly.

"At that time, I felt that there was a faint reflection on the roof of the building, and I heard a suspicious sound, so I looked through the binoculars. Then I found that someone was holding a rifle on the top of the building—probably he had penetrated it. balloon.

"What's even more suspicious is that next to the shooter, there were several suspicious men in black suits and sunglasses standing. They pointed their pistols at the shooter. After the balloon burst, they immediately took away the rifle in the shooter's hand."

Jiang Xia listened to his words and nodded, as if he understood what he meant: "From the top of the building to here, it is about 400 meters by visual inspection. Hitting a high-speed balloon from such a long distance can be called a superb skill. ...In other words, on the whole, maybe someone has kidnapped a sharpshooter and brought him here today for shooting practice?"

Conan nodded, his expression serious.Kidnapping a sniper, of course, is impossible just to shoot balloons for fun, they are probably planning to kill people.

Haibara Ai habitually pulled up her hood to cover her characteristic hair color.

However, this was just a subconscious reaction after hearing the outfit combination of "black suit + sunglasses" - at first, after hearing Conan describe the appearance of those gunmen, she was a little nervous, after all, the organization likes all in black.A while ago, the member of the mysterious organization who knew Jiang Xia passed by her house was also wearing a black suit and sunglasses.

But later, after thinking about it for a while, Hui Yuan Ai felt that this matter should have nothing to do with the organization.

——The organization has a dedicated shooting field, so that you will not be reduced to come here to practice.Although this area can be called "the wilderness".But no matter how few people there are, they are outside after all, which may lead to the exposure of the plan.This is undoubtedly a huge difference from the organization's consistent course of action.

In addition, it sounds like the sharpshooter was targeted by criminals for his shooting skills, and then coerced to practice shooting and prepare for assassination.

But the organization has no shortage of snipers. If you want to assassinate some important person, you can always call in a few good-quality snipers to stand by.

...In short, after a simple analysis, the identities of this group of people are quite obvious.

——Probably some small organizations that can't get on the stage and are messy.

It was precisely because of realizing this that Hui Yuanai was able to stand in place calmly, waiting for Jiang Xia to come over.She remembered that Jiang Xia seemed to have the habit of beating criminals to relieve stress...

Jiang Xia also seems to be quite satisfied with this status quo.

He quickly recovered from the worry that "the children don't seem to like to make troubles anymore", looked at the opposite building with interest, and touched the swinging stick inside through his pocket: "Go and have a look—those people still Are you there?"

"Even if you do this kind of exercise in the suburbs, you may be witnessed by passers-by, so they must leave as soon as possible." Conan looked at his watch, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Xia's movement of swinging the stick, and the corner of his eye twitched, "Shooting time It's exactly one noon, and it's been half an hour since now. They must be gone."

Jiang Xia nodded slightly disappointed.

Soon, the three squeezed onto Jiang Xia's small motorcycle, followed the bridge to the other side of the river, and came to the abandoned building.

Then follow the stairs and climb up to the roof.

The rooftop has also been deserted for a long time, with a thick accumulation of dust, and various sundries such as beer bottles, weeds, and plastic bags scattered on it.

Jiang Xia took a rough look, and his eyes quickly stopped on the same messy steps—a few pieces of cement fell off there, and the debris was stacked together, and the cat ghost got into the crack at some point.

The mermaid, Miyano Akemi, and Miss Spider were standing around, discussing in whispers whether to catch the cat or not.Although after signing the contract, the cat will never get lost, but if it runs too far, the master of the psychic medium has to restart the cat to get the cat back to the tattoo space, and then release it again... If Jiang Xia forgets, they will lose it in a short time There will be no more cats.

Just as she was thinking, Jiang Xia suddenly walked over here, reached out to pick up the stone, and opened the gap between the stones.

A calculator is exposed below.

The screen of the calculator was still on, and there was a string of irregular numbers on it. It looked like someone just rolled his face across the keyboard, or wrote down some complicated passwords.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Conan and Haibara Ai were also looking around for possible traces.

Hearing the sound of the stones, they turned their heads and looked in the direction where Jiang Xia was.

Then they got closer at the same time and watched the calculator.

"3135134162, there is no gap in between..." Conan stared at the string of numbers, then looked at the calculator, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be the person who was held hostage? I used a telescope to observe the roof of the building. He happened to look over his shoulder at the time, and probably saw the reflection on my glasses - if so, it might be the distress signal he left behind."

Hui Yuanai nodded her head, indicating "I see."

But then he was a little puzzled: "But why does he carry a calculator with him?"

Jiang Xia was silent for a while.Good question, he wants to know too...

However, if you insist on thinking about it, it is not without explanation.

He put on his gloves, picked up the calculator, and muttered meaningfully: "It may be that there happened to be a calculator in the place of detention, and then the hostage sharpshooter came up with a secret signal that could be conveyed with the help of the calculator, so While the robbers were not paying attention, I hid it on my body - stealing a mobile phone will be discovered, if stealing a calculator, there are fewer and fewer people using it now, and the kidnapper may not notice it if it is taken away."

Chapter 805

"And this calculator looks relatively clean, and there is no accumulation of dust in the crevices. Although there are some on the shell, they should be freshly stained-the robbers don't need to hide such things, this may be the hijacked sniper The signal left by the hand."

Conan nodded, pointed to the ground next to him, and added: "There are still traces of friction here. Probably the hostage pretended to fall and stuffed the calculator into the crack of the brick."

Jiang Xia has the consciousness to be a good detective, so she raised her mobile phone, clicked on it and took a few photos, which is regarded as a certificate.

Although they still destroyed the scene, but they are better than other detectives...

Jiang Xia put away her mobile phone, as if she suddenly remembered something, and asked Conan who had seen the situation on the roof: "What does the hijacked person look like?"

Conan thought for a while: "It's a little backlit, so I can't see the specific appearance... I'm about [-] or [-] years old, and I feel very young. I have a hedgehog head and a tall stature."

"That's it..." Jiang Xia also imitated him and thought for a while, "Let's go to the police with me first, and ask them about the situation—this may be related to the disappearance case I encountered just now."

"...The disappearance case?"

……

For the abandoned building, there are not many useful clues for the time being.

The two fake children then followed Jiang Xia back to the urban area and came to Masuo Erika's house.

——The police are still collecting traces here and there, trying to find the whereabouts of the missing.

"...that's how it is."

Jiang Xia repeated to Miwako Sato what she had just heard from the children:

"Since he disappeared while preparing for his honeymoon, and no one called the police before today, it means that the newlywed husband is also likely to be related to this disappearance—either he is an accomplice of the kidnappers, or he is also a victim.

"It now appears that the situation should be the latter."

Conan was looking at the photo frame nearby.

After looking at it for a while, he nodded and echoed Jiang Xia's words: "Although I was far away at the time, I couldn't see clearly, but judging from the figure and general outline, the sniper who was held hostage should be this person."

"Yes, we have verified the identity of the new husband."

Mumu police department jumped out from nowhere, looking at his brothers with a serious expression:

"His name is Koichi Yamabe. He is a colleague of our fourth search section. He used to be an Olympic shooter. After retiring, he changed his job to become a policeman... This is exactly what you see. If this is the case, the group of gangsters The Yiren must be plotting some huge conspiracy!"

As he spoke, he patted the heads of the two children: "You have made great achievements." Jiang Xia really knows how to take care of children... The only question is, have these two children also been infected with the incident constitution?It seems this is not the first time...

The Mumu Police Department is a little worried about the future of society.

But on second thought, there are more urgent things to worry about than this.

——Those men in black kidnapped Yamabe Koichi and his wife at the same time, and pointed guns at Yamabe Koichi and took him to practice sniping.It is very likely that the kidnappers are taking Masuo Eri as a hostage, threatening Yamabe Koichi to shoot an assassination target according to their requirements.

This is undoubtedly a murder that is about to happen.

Moreover, the method of sniping was deliberately used, and perhaps some important figures were killed.

The most worrying thing is that even if they learned of the other party's conspiracy, they have no clue now.

Thinking of this, Mumu Police Department looked at Jiang Xia and the calculator he brought back, expecting.This is probably the clue left by Koichi Yamabe: "Do you see anything?"

Jiang Xia glanced at the calendar and found that the assassination was still some time away.

Think about the number of robbers, the fluffy feel of their knocks, and the people who may be involved in this case.

Jiang Xia didn't fast forward this time, but showed a thoughtful look and shook his head:

"This string of numbers may refer to the scheduled sniper location, the date of action, or the place where the couple is currently imprisoned... There is no interval between the numbers, and there are too many combinations when they are separated. Currently, there are several commonly used None of the cracking methods can be applied. It may be the code that Mr. Yamabe thought of in a flash. In this case, it is better to start from another angle-since it is a practice, the terrain of the shooting location is likely to be the same as the 'S' shaped The river, and the building are similar."

"Could it be this?" Beside, Hui Yuanai listened to Jiang Xia's "reasoning" quietly, took out her phone, and clicked on the map.

At a glance, there is really an "S"-shaped road, and it happens to be on National Highway No. 162-the last few numbers of the "3135134162" code on the calculator are exactly "162".

Conan was also looking at the map, and shook his head: "Since it is a hijacking sniper, the sniper should not be detained too far from the official shooting point - the location you pointed to is almost to Kyoto. Compared with it, More likely a major local road...Maybe County Road 162? It also has an 'S' on it."

Mumu Police Department heard the reasoning with sharp ears, waved his hand skillfully, and commanded his subordinates: "Go to this location to have a look, pay attention to concealment, and don't expose yourself!"

Except for a few people who continued to collect evidence at Masuo's house, and those who went to the building to collect evidence secretly.

The other police officers got into the police cars respectively, ready to go to observe.

Conan also jumped into the car.

"You guys go there, I want to look elsewhere." Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about something, instead of going with them, she walked in another direction, "I always feel that something is not right..."

He said the Riddler lines that detectives usually use, and put on his helmet.

Before anyone else came to their senses, he disappeared around the corner and headed straight to the parking lot, ready to be a normal detective lone ranger.

……

On the way, Conan gradually realized something was wrong.

——Many roads that are straight lines on the map are actually S-shaped when walking.And it is far more in line with the shape of the river used for practice than the one marked "S" on the map.

The police also noticed the problem, and they were a little confused-what should I do, should I keep looking for it along the road?
