Conan's Corpse Picker

It is completely different from Jiang Xia's good mood.

In the crowd, the short-haired woman who lost her briefcase was very anxious.

——In her opinion, the bag contained precious information that she had spent a huge sum of [-] million yen to buy.

She looked at Anonymous who was standing by the car door, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, and shouted out of composure: "Give me the bag, we can discuss other things, you can just say what you want!"

Conan also reminded anxiously: "Throw away the bag quickly! The bomb is about to explode!"

As soon as the voice fell, the car door turned past the tangent point for a moment.

Jiang Xia let go of the hand holding the car door.

He adjusted the actual weight of the puppet, and secretly adjusted the direction with the hem of his skirt, so that the puppet flew out of the bridge and fell downward like a kite, erratically and gracefully.

——"Jump something with a bomb", just like "Can't look back at the explosion", is a romantic achievement that must be done if you have the opportunity.

And in this way, the puppet can perfectly avoid subsequent inquiries and transcripts, saving a lot of trouble.

The people in the car stared blankly at Anonymous falling out of sight.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of flames exploded from under the bridge.

……

……

After a few minutes.

Due to the sudden explosion, the Shinkansen was urgently suspended.

Amidst the commotion, Jiang Xia stopped pretending to be asleep and opened his eyes on the seat.

Then he met two eyes that implied apology.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan looked at each other for a moment, then sighed in frustration—they were looking for Jiang Xia to relax.Unexpectedly, this kind of incident happened again before arriving at the place.

Although they were not there at the time, they also heard that a person jumped out of the car unprotected with a bomb.

The police were unable to find the body, because there was a river just below the crash site, and the hero may have been washed away by the flowing water.

Mao Lilan's frustration was even worse.

——There were not a few passengers who witnessed the scene of jumping off the train.This matter was quickly spread in the car with embellishments, accompanied by various lamentations of regret.

So not long after the incident, Mao Lilan heard that the deceased was a man in a black dress and a sun hat of the same color, caring for the world, full of holy light, like the most perfect marble sculpture when he was not smiling, and like an angel when he smiled Incarnate, very kind woman.

Although the last few lines are a bit abstract... But when the black dress and sun hat of the same color were mentioned, Mao Lilan immediately thought of the beautiful sister who helped her stop Conan.

Such a good person just disappeared like this... When Mao Lilan thought of this, she felt a little sad, and covered her face with her handkerchief.

The other people in the car were also silently remembering the stranger who saved them.

Although the question of "why not just throw the bomb down and leave it in the car" occasionally arises, but after thinking about it for a while, it feels like a blasphemy to the victim, so no one raised it in the end. People concentrate on mourning.

……

The police arrived soon, and the short-haired woman was taken away for investigation.

Before leaving, she tearfully begged the police to continue searching for people in the river, even if there were only corpses, and let people rest in peace. She also said that if the person who jumped off the car had no family, she could pay for the burial.

Chapter 59

The Shinkansen cannot stop for too long, and the vehicle will restart quickly.

Jiang Xia and his three classmates returned to their original seats, and the atmosphere was much more silent than before.

……

Suzuki Sonoko was also remembering the martyrs.

But after a while, she looked at the sad Mao Lilan, and then at Jiang Xia, who obviously hadn't done anything, but seemed to be suddenly tired, and seemed to be using sleepiness to cover up her sadness... suddenly realized that it was not good.

...I've heard that emotions are contagious.

Jiang Xia must not be allowed to soak in this sad atmosphere all the time!

Suzuki Sonoko cheered up and started talking to Jiang Xia about her sister's villa, trying to make the atmosphere lighter.

She thought, although there was a murder case again, it didn't matter, there was still a villa in the forest where she could recuperate her mood.

The scenery there is good, and there is no signal—that is to say, when you get there, you can no longer play with your mobile phone, and you can only communicate with people in the same company. A good place in Jiang Xia's heart to replace that bastard doctor!

……

two hours later.

The group of four walked through the deep mountains and arrived near Suzuki's villa.

Suzuki Sonoko was very happy to see the villa on the opposite side of the mountain stream from a distance across the suspension bridge—this meant that they had finally trekked to their destination, and they could leave their luggage behind and take a good rest.

However, when she was about to cross the bridge, she was slightly taken aback.

——On the ten-meter-long old suspension bridge, there were people.

The man was wearing a black robe and a hood, with his back to them, crossing the drawbridge and walking towards the villa.

Suzuki Sonoko guessed that this was her sister's friend, so facing the howling mountain wind, she warmly greeted the front, and she waved her hand and shouted: "Hello——!"

Hearing the sound, the man in black on the bridge turned his head, revealing a densely packed face covered in bandages.

"!"

In the dimly lit evening, deep in the mountains and old forests, I suddenly encountered such a creature who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost...

Suzuki Sonoko was startled, and the voice stopped abruptly.She swished behind Jiang Xia, and confirmed tremblingly: "Did you see it!?"

Of course Jiang Xia saw it.

Not only did he see it, but he also smelled a murderous aura following the mountain wind blowing over.

……

The bandaged man in front did not stop.

He glanced back and ran away quickly.Soon he crossed the suspension bridge and disappeared into the dark woods near the villa.

With no one blocking the way, Jiang Xia planned to cross the bridge safely.

But just as he took a step, his arms tightened, and he was dragged back to the spot by two girls who had a huge buff because of fear.

Suzuki Sonoko stared at the place where the man with the bandage disappeared, and asked in a low voice with fear, "That man is going to the villa too? Why did he dress up like that?"

Jiang Xia thought about it meaningfully: "It should be because the mountain wind is strong, so I wore a hat and cloak."

As he spoke, he also pulled his hood to the top of his head: "It's a bit cold."

The other three: "..." No, the point is not the hood and cape at all!It was that face covered with bandages!

Conan: "...Are you myopic?"

Jiang Xia has been blowing the mountain wind for so long, and now he just wants to move into a murderous warm villa quickly, he nodded perfunctorily as he said: "It seems to be a little bit."

"..." Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan stopped talking, wanting to describe to Jiang Xia the suspicious person they saw.

But after thinking about it, the bandaged man on the bridge didn't do anything bad. Instead, he ran away quickly after seeing them. Maybe he was just a passing second child.

It's better not to say it to affect Jiang Xia's mood...

……

The four of them stopped talking about the man in black.

They quickly crossed the drawbridge and came to the gate of the villa.

Suzuki Sonoko was about to press the doorbell, when suddenly there was a rattling sound from the side of the house.

The two girls immediately thought of the scary bandaged man just now, their hair stood on end, and they shrank behind Jiang Xia skillfully with an "ow".

Conan was as brave as ever, and rushed to the corner quickly.

Jiang Xia also took a closer look at the situation.

Then it was discovered that the sound came from a small warehouse on the side.

……

Through the open warehouse door, a young woman can be seen standing inside.

The woman has curly hair, a pair of squinting eyes, and a facial contour very similar to Suzuki Sonoko.

Seeing the woman's face clearly, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over to give her a hug: "Sister!"

Suzuki Ayako greeted her with a smile, and then looked at the others.

She had seen Mao Lilan before.

So Suzuki Ayako focused on Jiang Xia, who was born in front of her, and said kindly, "Is it Sonoko's classmate?"

Then, she looked at Conan again, "This is the child who lives in Xiaolan's house, so cute."

Suzuki Ayako originally wanted to rub Conan's head, but she was arranging firewood now, and her hands were a little dirty.

So in the end, I just nodded to them: "You go in and put down your luggage, it's strange to carry."

……

Although she let the guests enter the house, but Jiang Xia has come, so it is not easy to sit and watch the hostess do physical work.

He handed the luggage to Mao Lilan, asked his classmates to help him carry it into the house, and stayed behind to help stack firewood.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko also wanted to help, but the warehouse area was small, so many people added to the chaos, and there was not much firewood to move, so in the end, they obediently carried their luggage and entered the villa first.

……

Conan didn't leave.

He symbolically helped carry some firewood that was taller than him, and asked Suzuki Ayako: "Sister Ayako, among the people who came today, is there anyone with bandages on their faces?"

"Bandages?" Suzuki Ayako didn't know what the kid was talking about, she shook her head, "No."

Conan asked: "Are there any cosplay fans? Or people who are very secondary?"

The villa party this time was a small class reunion held by Suzuki Ayako, and Suzuki Sonoko was just here to bring people to live.
