Conan's Corpse Picker

Belmode was okay with helping out occasionally.

She quickly pried open the door, walked in and looked around, and found what Jiang Xia was looking for: "The map of the county, and the map of the urban area... eh?" She quickly discovered that the map here could match their world on, "Is this Karuizawa?"

"Looks like it is." Jiang Xia also entered the house, rummaged through the drawers at random, and found a truck key. There was a simple pattern on the keychain, which should be the company's distribution car.

He laughed: "It's really lucky, it seems that you don't have to run away with the police all the time."

Gin wanted to nod.But after thinking about it, I feel that a successful person should not take the illusory "luck" into consideration when doing things.

So he glanced at the car keys, and slapped him out of nothing: "This kind of old-fashioned car can be opened even if there is no key, and the wires are electrified-you are really inexperienced in the aspect of 'being a criminal'. You didn't have any Shaking hands with the police unsuspectingly... It seems that all the training resources that the organization threw at you back then were wasted."

"Why should I guard against the police? I have never broken the law, and I am a good friend of the police. It's just that this game misinterpreted my character design without authorization. And the police just said 'suspected' just now-according to my experience, although I don't know yet What exactly is the eucalyptus, but the real culprit must be someone else."

As he said that, Jiang Xia thought of something, couldn't help but glanced at Qin Jiu, a little curious: "You can even manage the training of newcomers? How wide is your business scope? How does the boss usually pay you? Commission? Annual salary? Or is it voluntary labor like a retainer?"

Gin's murderous aura rose again: "This is not something you should know."

After a pause, he said quietly again: "Don't talk about 'that lord' behind your back."

Jiang Xia was still very curious.

But now he is still "running away" after all, and Qin Jiu is not the kind of loose-mouthed person, so he might not be able to ask any questions for a while.

He had no choice but to stop talking regretfully, looked at the schematic diagram of safe evacuation behind the gate, and walked towards the garage with the other two.

……

There is a car and a map, and although the level of detail on the map is not satisfactory, it is enough for two seasoned criminals.

The three came to the garage, checked the condition of the vehicle, quickly found a few spray bottles, simply covered up the eye-catching company logo on the truck, and drove out of the neighborhood where the police could easily pay attention.

Then they ditched the conspicuous van, picked up a nondescript sedan nearby, and drove on, taking the unnoticed back roads to the two-county border.

1183【Old technology】

During the run, several people were also observing the surrounding situation.

It can be seen that the driver Gin Jiu is quite satisfied with the environment here: "There are very few cameras, and there are no annoying street photos on the road, and more people are using BP machines to communicate-the era here should be further ahead than it is now. Nearly 20 years ago."

Jiang Xia: "..." That's uncertain, maybe one day, the "now" technology will suddenly go backwards...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a pager hanging on his waist.So he took it off and fiddled with this ancient electronic product unskillfully.

At the same time, he complained in a low voice like a normal player: "I didn't even give a memory image, and started to escape directly. It's impossible for the three of us to have 'amnesia' settings."

Although Gin played games when he was young, most of the time he played arcade machines.By the time this kind of game with a plot became popular, he had long since lost the time to play happily, so he drove with a cigarette in his mouth and did not speak.

Belmode has been fishing a lot, and has touched all kinds of things.

She glanced at the fainting policeman lying next to her, and felt that it was not a big problem: "This may be the novice gift package delivered to the door - giving weapons and intelligence. Find a hidden place later, wake him up and ask Ask about the situation. Since it is the police who came to arrest you, they should have a good understanding of the situation."

"..." Jiang Xia thought of the way he organized the "inquiry", and felt sorry for the NPCs he had consumed and piled up.

However, he turned his head and looked at the two colleagues next to him who were wary of the environment and who were constantly braving murderous aura...

Jiang Xia became generous again, nodded, and threw the troublesome interrogation on others in advance: "Come on."

……

The place where the administrative divisions meet is often more troublesome to manage than other places, and it is more convenient for some shady people to hide.The goal of Gin Jiu's journey was quite clear. He went straight to the intersection of Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures, and found a remote mountain villa for a temporary stay.

This villa is obviously old, the walls are damp and mossy, and the house is covered with a thick layer of dust, obviously it has been abandoned for a while.

The three got out of the car and entered the door, dragged the policeman in the car in, and tied them to the corner.

Afterwards, Gin and Belmode began to check in the villa, while familiarizing themselves with the route, while looking for something convenient for the police to speak.

Jiang Xia stood by the policeman to prevent him from running away after waking up.But it turns out that this doesn't seem to be necessary - the policeman seemed to be frightened by the tragedy of his colleague before, and he had no intention of running away after waking up, but just stared at Jiang Xia, shrinking towards the corner with a face full of horror: "You, you This dreadful murderer! Go away, and get away from me!"

Jiang Xia: "..." The unreasonable npc was obviously done by Qin Jiu, so what does it matter to him, an innocent high school student?

He thought about Gin's insidious appearance just now, and suddenly moved towards the policeman, showing him the same malicious smile.

The policeman froze for a moment, as if he was still scolding in his heart, but he didn't speak any more.

"He's awake?" Belmode and Gin just finished looking around, and came back with some strange-looking objects, which looked like torture tools for interrogation.

Jiang Xia originally thought that this would be a long process, so she also planned to go around the villa, and when she came back, she would hear the news from Gin and Belmode.

But just as he walked to the door with screams that were not suitable for children, he heard the policeman angrily say: "Enough, stop, I said!

"

Jiang Xia: "..."

He stopped in his tracks, intending to come back and listen to the previous story.

But just as he turned his head, a huge bubble hit him.

——This big bubble is incompatible with the painting style of "Detective Dungeon". It is obviously not something that should exist in reality, but a very "game-like" prop.

Jiang Xia was hit by it, his eyes blurred, and suddenly countless pictures appeared in front of him.

The time in the picture seems to be back to a few days ago.

……

In the memory bubble spit out by the police npc friendship.

It was afternoon.

In the bubble, the BP machine on "Jiang Xia"'s waist suddenly rang.

The BP machine is a communication tool before the popularization of mobile phones, and it is quite old.It looks like a rectangular box with an electronic screen inlaid on one side.

Compared with the convenient mobile phone, the BP machine can only receive messages unilaterally—the person who wants to send a message will call the paging station and provide the content he wants to send.Then the paging station sends the "sender" and "message content" to the receiver's BP machine.

After that, the recipient can go to the landline to call the sender back according to the received information, or go directly to the designated place.

But now, on Jiang Xia's BP machine, there is no message about the sender, only a line of text - "see you at 17 o'clock, Dollies".

Jiang Xia himself doesn't know where "Dollies" is.

However, the "Jiangxia" in the memory bubble obviously knows this place.

When the time came, he went straight to a fast food restaurant.Pushing the door open, he saw "Bermod" sitting at a dining table by the window. When he raised his eyes and saw "Jiang Xia" coming in, he waved to him with a smile, indicating that the seat was here.

According to the background set in the game, the two of them obviously knew each other, and soon sat down and chatted.

Jiang Xia also found a place to sit down, and continued to look at the "self" in the bubble, wanting to see how this seemingly law-abiding "Jiang Xia" got to the point where he was almost dragged into the police station.

……

In the Dollies restaurant, "Jiang Xia" and "Belmode" chatted for a while, when the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.A vicious man with striking silver hair and long straight hair walked in, dressed in a suit.

——If you close your eyes, you can know that this is Gin, and beside Gin, there is a very gentle-looking strange man standing.

"This man wants to meet you." Qin Jiu looked at Jiang Xia, raised his chin and nodded to the strange man next to him, which was regarded as an introduction.

The strange man looks reserved, but in fact he is not socially intimidating at all.He quickly bowed slightly to Jiang Xia: "Hello, I'm the editor of Yinyu Publishing House, and my surname is 'Duck Down'—that, actually, I'm here this time, and I want to ask you to help decipher a certain code. "

"signal?"

"That's right." The editor under the duck did not refuse the high school student detective in front of him, and his expression relaxed a little. He didn't waste time, and quickly got to the point, "You know the writer named 'Orange Five Willow'."

Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and nodded: "That heavyweight writer who is good at documentary literature?"

The editor under the duck was a little happy when he heard that he knew him, and nodded: "That's right!"

1184【Beauty trap】

Jiang Xia thought about it and continued: "I heard that every book of his is very popular, but there is no fixed publishing house, so every time there is a new book interview, it will attract competition from countless publishing houses... So you come to find Me, because Mr. Ju has published a new work, and his criterion for choosing a publishing house is to 'decipher the code he gave'?"

"...No, that's right." The editor under the duck was stunned for a moment, and then he was even more pleasantly surprised.Before hearing "Gin Jiu" say that he knew a reliable high school detective, he was worried that the other party was young and unreliable, but now it seems that this young detective is very reliable.

He hurriedly explained in detail: "Mr. Orange is about to celebrate his birthday. At that time, he will hold a birthday party in his villa in Karuizawa. The password will be announced at the party. And the first person to decipher the password will be able to Get the opportunity to cooperate with him... I, our publishing house really need this publishing right!"

……

The high school student detective did not refuse the commission.

On the day of the gathering of great writers, the four people in the restaurant - "Jiang Xia", "Belmode", "Gin Wine" and editor Yaxia drove to Karuizawa.

The car drove through the mountains, and for an unknown amount of time, a magnificent villa gradually appeared in front of my eyes.In front of the vast villa, there were rows of various cars parked. Apparently, apart from the editors and reporters who had heard the news, there were also some big figures who came to join in.

The party is held in the evening.Dozens of dining tables were set up in the courtyard, on which were all kinds of exquisite meals.

While the guests were chatting with different thoughts, the emcee stepped up on the temporary stage in front of him: "Mr. Ju Wuliu's birthday celebration is about to begin! Thank you for coming. I am today's emcee, Gui Hengping."

"Gui Hengping?" Behind "Jiang Xia", a person who was familiar with "Qin Jiu" showed doubts and said in a low voice, "I heard that Xiaofuting Chunle was chosen by the master of ceremonies, why did they suddenly change?"

The two melon eaters came over at some point, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ju forcibly asked for a replacement—maybe because Chunle's popularity has plummeted recently, and he felt that it would be a shame to find such an emcee, haha. After all, it is his 50th birthday, I can understand if I want to be a little more grand."

The subject of discussion, Ju Wuliu, had already stood on the stage.

"Thank you for coming to my birthday party." Ju Wuliu is over fifty years old, a little fat, with an uncomfortable haughty smile on his lips, he doesn't seem to want to talk nonsense to the group of editors who want him. Quickly cut to the chase, "Then, let's immediately start the long-awaited reasoning game."

"I saved the completed manuscript on a floppy disk and hid it somewhere. If you find it, it will be published by your publishing house." As he spoke, Ju Wuliu showed a malicious smile, "In addition, this In this new work, there is actually an 'easter egg' - although this is just a documentary, the villain in it has a prototype, and that 'villain' is currently hiding among the crowd participating in the party."

Hearing this, Jiang Xia subconsciously removed the memory bubble and glanced at the nearby gin.

However, Gin obviously didn't have the self-consciousness of being a "villain". At this time, he was sticking to his memory bubble, carefully checking to avoid missing any details-no one knew whether this bubble would only be played once.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, after all, he was playing a game of "gambling his life", so he had no choice but to get serious, and continued to look at the bubbles while no one was paying attention to him.

……

Tangerine Five Willows has already announced the clues, and the clues are written on a huge banner. It is a very unnatural sentence that seems to be made up-[Li Chuanbe Qi々なる草を].

A group of editors are a little confused, but at least they can recognize the place "Satokawabe".

It happened that there was a small river behind the villa, so a group of intellectuals sitting in the office rolled up their sleeves, put on their shovels, and began to rummage along the river.

Jiang Xia seemed to have thought of something, but wanted to enjoy the time of taking leave and absenteeism again, so she didn't say the answer.

A full night passed, and no one successfully dug out the floppy disk from the river.But the editors were apparently not discouraged, convinced that it was because of the dark sky and poor lighting.So early the next morning, I picked up the shovel again and ran to the river.

Jiang Xia and Belmode are not editors, so they are not anxious about this matter, they are sitting in the courtyard and having breakfast leisurely.

On the table next to it, Ju Wuliu was sitting, chatting with a beautiful female editor, Noaka Tomomi, and Ju Wuliu, suddenly approached, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Tangerine, what is the code?" It has nothing to do with 'Little River', right?"

Ju Wuliu didn't reject her approach at all, and teased, "Oh? You've unlocked the code? You really deserve to be a leader of B1 Publishing House—since you've unlocked it, go and get the original manuscript."

"Haha, they just wanted to ask you for a hint because they couldn't solve the password." Nonaka Tomomi moved closer, and gently raised her white and delicate hand, covering the big rough hand of Tangerine Wuliu, full of hints Sexually, "Are you right?"
