Conan's Corpse Picker

The organization in black is fighting wits with ordinary murder cases again...

……

It was already evening when we set off.

Toru Amuro has a relatively full schedule and doesn't like to put things off until the next day.

I had planned to reach the beach that day.

However, halfway, his plan was forced to disrupt.

——When the car was traveling through the forest, it ran over something and suddenly burst a tire.

……

Jiang Xia was still leaning against the back of the chair and feeling sleepy, but now she sat upright—a tire burst in the woods, a murder case happened by chance during the night... This is how it is drawn in comics!

Amuro Toru only thought that Jiang Xia was surprised by the puncture, and didn't think much about it.

He stopped to open the door and went down to check.

Jiang Xia also got out of the car, pretending to care about this means of transportation.

In fact, he was concentrating on looking around.

Soon, his eyes passed through a thick tree and landed on the cliff tens of meters away.

There is a quaint wooden building "suspended" in mid-air, supported by countless wooden frames underneath, and a rushing waterfall hangs beside it.

……

As soon as Jiang Xia's eyes fell on it, Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi, who had been his pillows all the way, raised their heads and looked over there.

Jiang Xia originally thought that the ghosts felt the murderous aura, or the aura of shikigami.

Unexpectedly, the two ghosts exchanged mutterings, and the information they fed back turned out to be—the ghost fetus was found.

Jiang Xia was startled.

"..." Going out with the boss, is there such a good thing?

Just as he was thinking, the trunk clicked.

Jiang Xia was alarmed and looked back.

There was a spare tire in the open trunk.

Amuro took out a tool bag from beside the spare tire.Then he rolled up his sleeves, as if planning to change the tire on the spot.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

……no! ! !

No one can leave until he gets a new ghost fetus.

……

When Toru Amuro was concentrating on unloading the tire.

Jiang Xia walked up to him, squatted down, and pretended to watch the tire change.

In fact, Shikigami floated into the open trunk, and Xiaobai also floated there.

Soon, the little white-brand puppets silently piled up in the trunk.

Jiang Xia's consciousness possessed him, looked to the side, and quietly stared at the intact spare tire.

……

The puppet had no tools on it, and there was no knife in the trunk.

While Toru Amuro was outside the house, there were many tire blowouts, and the action of unloading the tire was very neat.

Listening to the movement on his side, Jiang Xia felt a little anxious. He tried to gather the shikigami's energy on his nails, but Xiaobai didn't seem to have the talent for this, so he poked hard, only a few marks were left.

... At this time, I regret not choosing Akemi Miyano just now.But Akemi Miyano is an adult after all, so she can't squeeze into the trunk and is easily exposed.

Time was running out, and in the trunk, Jiang Xia stared at the spare tire with gloomy eyes, feeling that it was fairly clean.

He thought about the new ghost tire waiting for him to pick up not far away... In the end, he broke his heart, released the energy wrapped around his nails, changed it into strengthened teeth, and aimed at the tire to bite down.

Teeth are indeed the hardest part of the human body.

Did not live up to his expectations.

……

Toru Amuro, who had just finished unloading the tire, was startled suddenly.

He listened carefully, and always felt that there were some strange creaking sounds mixed with the sound of the wind and leaves.

Amuro Toru looked at Jiang Xia uncertainly:

"Did you hear it?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xia took a while to recover, her voice was a bit vague for some reason.He looked up at the sky and said solemnly, "It's raining."

It did rain.

And it fell rapidly, and the sound of raindrops beating on the leaves gradually became obvious.

An Shitou frowned, what he asked was actually not this voice, it was more like something was gnawing on something... But forget it, since Jiang Xia didn't hear it, maybe he heard it wrong.

……

However, after a few seconds.

Toru Amuro went to the trunk, and when he reached out to get the new tires, he found that the strange noise just now was not his illusion.

——The spare tire, which was still intact just now, suddenly had a gap.

"..." The cuts are uneven, and it looks like they were torn open by force.

Combined with the dark woods at this time and the unexplained puncture just now, Toru Amuro suddenly felt a chill down his back.

Speaking of which, he remembered that there seemed to be some scary legends around here.It looks like a man-eating monster or something...

Amuro Toru's hand moved subconsciously to the place where the gun was hidden, and then stopped again.

... No, this world is materialistic and there will be no monsters.

Everything should have a reasonable explanation.

- A flat tire must have accidentally run over something on the ground.

It is not surprising that there are many sharp rocks in the woods.

And the tire was damaged because he didn't close the trunk after taking the tools just now, so an animal slipped in.

Wild animals move lightly and swiftly. In addition to the wind and other noises in the forest in the evening, it is normal for him not to notice it in time.

Just why did this unknown creature eat tires?There are snacks such as biscuits in front of the car...

Chapter 72

Toru Amuro couldn't think of a reason, but it could only be temporarily attributed to his limited knowledge of wild animals and his ignorance of biscuit packaging boxes.

At this time, it may be that he has been standing still for too long.

Jiang Xia turned around from the side of the car, wondering: "What's wrong?"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia's gaze fell on the broken tire, and he was slightly taken aback: "Is there a mouse in your car?"

"No." Toru Amuro's car has always been clean, theoretically it shouldn't attract rats, and, "It doesn't look like the tooth marks of rats."

Saying that, Toru Amuro took a closer look.The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it looked like a human bite.

...But how was that possible—the woods were full of fallen leaves and dead branches, and if someone had actually run into his trunk, he would have heard it.

……

In the dark forest, this question became more and more uncomfortable.

Toru Amuro had no choice but to put it aside first, thinking about how to deal with the current predicament.

——The car must not be able to drive, both tires are completely worn out.

I want someone to tow the car, but there is no cell phone signal here.

Next to him, Jiang Xia also enthusiastically thought of a solution together.Soon, he pointed to the building at the bottom of the cliff: "There are lights on there, there should be people living there, why don't you ask them to borrow a phone?"

Toru Amuro nodded: "That's the only way to go first."

……

He once again glanced at the bitten tire with complicated emotions.

Then lock the car, and walk to the hanging house next to the waterfall with Jiang Xia.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a temple.A plaque of "Shanni Temple" is hung on the door.

Next to it is a very high waterfall, flowing down like a white horse.This kind of environment, if placed in the daytime, can be called "beautiful scenery".

Toru Amuro originally thought that this house built in the deep mountains was suspicious everywhere.

But at this time, I saw that it was a holy place of Buddhism, and felt that the temple was built here, which was actually very tasteful - the environment is elegant and far away from the world.

……

It's a pity that the abbot here does not meet Toru Amuro's expectations.

The worldly taste is a bit heavy.

"Haha, of course you can borrow the phone! In addition to it, we also provide board and lodging here." The old abbot came out to welcome them, and after learning that they were tourists with a blown tire, he smiled and rubbed his hands, looking like a god of wealth, "Food There are 1 and 1 people in the house——our phones can only be used by "guests"."

——In a word, if you want to borrow a phone, you have to pay for the accommodation first.

When Jiang Xia heard the words of keeping a guest, he looked at the abbot, and suddenly became much kinder.

Amuro Toru's mood is completely opposite to Jiang Xia's.

He looked at his watch wordlessly, made some calculations, and found that even if he got someone to drive a new car, he would not be able to catch up with the latest closing time of the pottery classroom.

... Forget it, just stay here, and use it as a public fund for traveling.The suspended style of this temple is very unique, and it can indeed be regarded as a tourist attraction.
