Conan's Corpse Picker

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan turned and opened the door, ready to go to school.

But just as she was about to turn the doorknob, Kogoro Mori stopped her suddenly:

"It's late at night, what are you doing at school. Stay at home!"

Mao Lilan: "..."

……

At the same time, on the other side.

Hattori Heiji also encountered a similar situation.

——In disregard of his parents' dissuasion, he forcibly broke through the door.Then he was knocked back into the living room by his gentle and elegant mother with a "dong" of a wooden knife.

Hattori Heiji clutched his troubled head: "..."

During the day, there are security guards, and at night, parents stop... and let no one investigate the case!There are so many high school rules here.

Hattori Heiji stood up resolutely, and continued to try to break out, while at the same time couldn't help but began to miss his school.

……

The situation of Kudo Shinichi and Suzuki Sonoko is similar, both were stopped by their parents.

It's at Jiang Xia's house next door.

Jiang Xia stood in the middle of the living room, looked at the woman blocking the door, and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

Noah didn't know when he appeared, floated beside him, and studied the figure:

"According to the game's settings, it will automatically generate a guardian to prevent you from going out - but now that your parents are gone, the game background cannot be too divorced from reality, so this person was generated."

"...Guardian?" Jiang Xia thought for a while, then vaguely remembered something, "The nanny?"

He walked to the door with slight curiosity and looked at this woman he had never seen before.

After a while, I couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "Why is your face so blurred, isn't it murderous enough?"

Noah moved the newly added pot on his back, and muttered softly: "It was automatically generated based on the player's impression. In your impression, she really looks like this."

Jiang Xia: "..."

In fact, he had never seen this nanny with his own eyes, but only saw a little bit from the memory left in his body.

A year ago, when he traveled to this world and picked up his body, Jiang Xia took a look at the memories left by "Jiang Xia Tongzhi".But this Tongzhi's mental state seems to be very average, and his memory is not as good as that of a psychic. He doesn't have a deep impression of what happened in his childhood.

Jiang Xia: "..." I don't know what kind of nanny a couple in black will find to help them take care of their children... Jiang Xia occasionally thinks of this incident, but actually suspects that this "nanny" has been secretly silenced by the organization.

But doubts are just doubts after all.

But now, probably because he was not sure whether the nanny was dead or not, so she appeared in the game as a guardian again.

Since you can't go out according to the regulations, you can be idle if you are idle.Jiang Xia looked around the silent nanny for a while:

The woman's appearance is not young, but she is not old either... But this is a memory from her childhood, and her real age is probably a little older.The facial features seem to be more profound than Asians, and there are many mixed races in Tokyo.In addition, the attire is also very strange. She even wears a sun hat and a mask at home. In my impression, this person really rarely goes out, and the reason she gave seems to be "allergic to the sun."

Jiang Xia: "..." If you insist on saying it is reasonable, it is quite reasonable.

But to say it was suspicious, it was indeed suspicious enough.

...However, since she is a person who has not met for a long time, and there are too many suspicious people around, Jiang Xia didn't spend too much time on this strange woman.

He tried to go out, but found that the woman was blocking the door, so he went back to the sofa.

Jiang Xia picked up the Coke cup, thought for a moment, and remembered one thing:

"If after death, for the sake of the world view, you can no longer appear as a guardian. Then among us, Hui Yuanai is the only one who can go out casually?"

Noah nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Xia looked at the night outside the window, thoughtful: "That is to say, I have to wait for her action to end before going out for activities?"

Noah floated beside him, looking at the expression on the face of the psychic master, he suddenly understood something.

It swallowed back the original "yes", and changed its words naturally:

"Strictly speaking, the 'nanny' who has been terminated is not considered a guardian, and you have no problem going out—but, in order not to disrupt the balance of the game and end the game in seconds. When you get to school, please remember to cooperate with us... "

Jiang Xia waved his hand in satisfaction: "No problem!"

He stood up and walked to the door.

Sensing his intention to "go out", the nanny raised her head and glanced at him with calm eyes.

Soon, the order to withdraw was issued.Her whole body seemed to have turned into a cloud of smoke, like a piece of dust in the water, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Without the "parents" to stop him, Jiang Xia walked to the door and turned the handle. With a "click", the door opened smoothly.

……

the other side.

Hui Yuan mourns his family.

Just now, after the get out of class bell rang, Haibara Ai, who was reading materials in the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomena Research Society", was teleported home like everyone else.

Standing in the porch, looking at the "home" that should only exist in her memory, she was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look around in every room, and opened all the cabinets, and poked her head into the places where people could hide Take a look.

...But he didn't see the imaginary Miyano Akemi.

Haibara sighed.Leaning against the last door in disappointment, he slowly slid to the ground.

She hugged her knees and walked away for a while, then suddenly remembered the last time, "Colonel Moran" in the game.

Hui Yuan Ai: "..." Judging from the experience last time, thinking about it carefully, my sister, as an "npc" in the game, seems to have missions and can only appear on specific occasions.

But this time, all the strange things happened in school.

In other words, whether you want to see your sister or find out the truth, you must first go to school.

And according to the clues they got today, other people will probably go to the school to search at night...

After thinking about it, Hui Yuanai's train of thought slowly returned to the business.

——Go to school and have a look.

Chapter 1017 Kudo, look at this pot...

After making this decision, Huiyuan Ai took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, searched for a while, found an electric shock device from the drawer, took it out and put it in his pocket.

Then he brought some things that could be used to hit people in a mess.

Finally, she came to the door, pushed it open, and looked out carefully.

The street is filled with dense fog, and the street lamps are like hazy balls of light, connecting to the distance.

There was no one else on the street, and all kinds of houses stood in the fog like eerie haunted houses.

Hui Yuanai watched in silence for a while, and finally made up his mind.

She pushed the door open and walked towards the sign on the corner.At the same time, I thought to myself, if encountering obstacles or dangers, the worst thing is to run back immediately--at present, night exploration is an indispensable part. After all, if "night" is useless, then they probably closed their eyes and opened them. It's daytime.But now, with no sign of fast-forwarding, it meant she had to do something.

……

Although Hui Yuanai is still just a young girl, she has been in the black organization for a long time after all. At present, she is only afraid of people in black, not the dark, and she is much more courageous than her peers.

However, when she came to the corner of the street and looked at the road sign surrounded by fog, she was suddenly taken aback.

"..." The "pole" supporting this road sign is not a normal iron pole, but a figure!The "person" stood quietly in the dense fog, his figure was occasionally distorted by the swaying fog, like a monster with a road sign on its head.

This weird appearance made Hui Yuanai's mind buzz.At this moment, the "Signpost Man" suddenly took a step towards her.

"!" Hui Yuanai grabbed the electric shock device and swung it towards the "person".

His wrist was suddenly grabbed, like iron clamps, Hui Yuanai was terrified, and he struggled hard, but he couldn't get away at all.She gritted her teeth, and stretched her other hand behind her waist, holding a small dumbbell.

Just as he was about to smash it hard, the "Signposter" suddenly made a familiar voice: "...What are you doing?"

Hui Yuanai was taken aback, his movements froze.

After a while, she recognized the owner of the voice: "...Jiang Xia?!"

"Yeah." Jiang Xia took two steps forward, left the road signpost she was leaning on, and stood under the street lamp.

He looked at Hui Yuanai for a moment, then let go of her hand: "Are you going to school too?"

"Yes, I don't know which direction the school is in, so come and look at the road signs." Hui Yuanai breathed a sigh of relief.She looked around, "Where are the others?"

"They're all at home, probably won't be able to get out." Jiang Xia pointed to a house in the distance:

"Passing by there just now, I heard movement in the house. I took a closer look at the situation and saw that Hattori Heiji was being beaten by his mother, who seemed to be preventing him from going out...I knocked on the door and no one answered me. It's the same at home."

"..." Hui Yuanai thought of the black-skinned detective who had many troubles, and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.

She quickly figured out what Jiang Xia said just now, and sighed: "It seems that tonight, only we can act normally."

"Let's go to the school first." Jiang Xia didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, and turned to Fudo High School. "Although it's a six-player game, it's hard to clear the level with only two people searching. But we can collect some relevant clues first, by the way Find a way to allow everyone to operate at night."

Hui Yuanai nodded her head.

She trotted a few steps, and caught up with Jiang Xia before his figure disappeared into the thick fog.

The two walked quickly to the high school in the distance, one behind the other.

……

The school gate is locked.

Fortunately, the school's courtyard wall is not high.

Jiang Xia turned over the wall skillfully, while reaching out to pull Hui Yuanai up, amidst the rustling of leaves, she looked at the ancient ginkgo tree with lush branches and leaves.

Hui Yuanai also quickly climbed up.

She leaned on the wall carefully, and followed Jiang Xia's eyes to look at the tree: "This is the sixth incredible thing... I didn't see any corpses on it. Maybe it's because we are investigating those 'unbelievable events', which is equivalent to It’s coming for the corpse, so the condition of seeing it isn’t met?”

"It may also be because there were no corpses on the tree." Jiang Xia firmly materialized, "Judging from what Senior Sister Yingshu said, there should be someone behind the scenes with some kind of purpose."

……

Until they jumped off the wall and slipped into the teaching building while avoiding the security guards, there was nothing unusual about the ginkgo tree.

After the two entered the building, they went straight to the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Association". In order not to disturb the security guards, they did not turn on the lights.

Hui Yuanai blocked the light of the flashlight and shone on the table.
