Conan's Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia put down his hand: "If you play a lot of games, you will always know how to avoid the perspective of the NPC - go a little further and look for a phone booth. Martial law may be imminent around here."

……

Belmode did, as she said, have a lot of experience in avoiding the police.

The two quickly found an area without police surveillance. Belmode parked the car next to the phone booth, and Jiang Xia walked in quickly, and got the phone without disturbing anyone.

——President Omura left a sentence before the dog belt, "Just ask the then-ren and you will know."

So the next clue must be in the hands of the guest named "Shiren".

Now Jiang Xia and Belmode can be regarded as action factions, while Qin Jiu miraculously made a guest appearance in the intelligence team.

Jiang Xia then stuffed coins into the coin slot, dialed the phone of Qin Restaurant's landline, and planned to get some information from him.

However, the bell rang for a long time, but no one answered—it seemed that Gin was not at home at the moment.

Jiang Xia: "..." It's really hard to imagine Qin Jiu staying at home and waiting for the NPCs to feed him information. This person must have taken the initiative to go out and look for it...

Thinking of this, he turned off the phone, called the paging station instead, and sent a message to Gin Jiu's BP machine, asking him to find a landline that could answer the call as soon as possible, and when he found it, send the number to Jiang Xia's BP machine.

……

After sending the message, Jiang Xia returned to the car and continued to drive around the city with Belmode.

After nearly half an hour, he found that his BP machine had never received the message. Jiang Xia sighed quietly: "Why hasn't there been a reply—he couldn't have done something accidentally when he was looking for someone to ask for clues. Now He is busy avoiding the arrests of the whole city."

"..." Belmode thought about Gin's temper, and suddenly felt that this was not impossible.

However, after all, I don't want to have a pig teammate, and the chances of Gin Jiu being patient are not small.

So Belmode finally said objectively: "It may also be that he happened to be walking halfway and couldn't receive the signal.

"I checked on the way here. There are very few base stations here. It's okay in the city. If you are visiting guests who live in scattered places in the suburbs, it is indeed easy to lose contact suddenly.

"—I've been waiting, and I don't know how long it will take. Let's find a place to rest first. After driving for half a day, my waist is sore."

Belmode hasn't done this kind of hard work of overtime driving for a long time, and he didn't expect to experience it again here.

Thinking about it, her killing intent towards Anonymous became stronger:

The disguise effect cannot be reproduced, and this meaningless feeling of exhaustion is very close to reality - it is hard not to suspect that the group of guys are deliberately tossing the members of the black organization.

……

No ID is required to stay in the hotel, as long as there are vacancies, you can enter after paying.

The two found a hotel near the river, and Belmode went to open the room first and opened the window.

After a while, "Wanted Criminal" Jiang Xia took advantage of the dark sky and lightly rolled in through the window.

"You are really skilled at climbing the window."

Belmode leaned against the window, seeing his flowing movements, couldn't help expressing the above emotion.

Jiang Xia turned around and closed the window, pulled up the curtains, turned her head and glanced at her, hesitated to speak: "If you can't find someone to praise, you don't have to."

Belmode blinked slowly: Isn't this a compliment?She feels that she is very sincere, and it is rare to say what she thinks in her heart...

1191 [The Happiness of a Salary Thief] Adding to the Leader [Ganhe Patriarch]

However, it is normal to have a generation gap, Belmode did not care about such trivial matters.

She walked around the room, took out a wine list in surprise, flipped through it for a while, picked up the receiver, and started dialing the hotel's food delivery number:

"The dishes are quite rich. Since there is no news from Gin Wine, let's have some food and rest first—I don't know how the taste of the dishes here will be different from the real world."

Jiang Xia: "..." There is no difference, this side is more delicious, he has already tried it.

But this time when he came in, he only cared about his killing intent, and he really hadn't eaten well yet.

So Jiang Xia leaned over curiously and looked at the menu.

Then I was satisfied to find that Noah finally became sensible once again—this hotel looks ordinary on the outside, but the meals provided include styles from all over the world. After thinking about ordering, the "cook" can also make corresponding flavors.

Belmode has never been short of money, and has never had the habit of saving.Moreover, the virtual coins in this world can't be used up and can't be taken out, so she decisively ordered all the meals she was interested in - she is idle and idle, why not try the flavors of the dishes in this world, and maybe she From these details, we can get more information about Anonymous...

……

Not long after, the waiter pushed a cart of things upstairs, entered the room gracefully, and spread the plates on the table.

After he left, Jiang Xia came out of the suite.Turn on the TV with Belmode and watch while eating.

The two enjoyed their life for a while, and an urgent news break suddenly popped up on the screen.

In the deep blue background, the middle-aged male host sits in front of the camera with a serious expression:

"At about three o'clock this afternoon, a murder case occurred in Toshino Town. The deceased was the president of a publishing house—Kan Omura."

As these words appeared, a photo of his ID suddenly popped up in the blank part of the screen on the upper left of him.On the top is the "Mr. Omura" who was told the secret by Ju Wuliu, and his name and age are marked on the bottom.

The host continued: "There are not many fingerprints left at the scene, but an anonymous witness said that before and after the incident, he had seen a teenager coming in and out of the deceased's house—combined with the previous tragedy, the murderer is currently considered to be That high school student detective who is suspected of killing the writer Tachibana Goyanagi has been on the run. Now the police are pursuing the trail of that boy by setting up a martial law zone and other means."

……

"It's really not rigorous. There is no evidence, so I dare to make a conclusion directly." Belmode laughed and turned to Jiang Xia, "But it seems that someone is deliberately framing you. It's a pity that from the special emphasis' According to Anonymous, when the real culprit notified the police, I am afraid that he did not come forward directly, but notified by calling or sending a letter... Otherwise, if you arrest the relevant policeman and ask them, you will know the real culprit behind the scenes Who is it?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "The method of framing is very similar to that of Ju Wuliu before. And the puzzle is still continuous—"Omura" is followed by "Ren". The person who killed the president of Omura and Ju Wuliu The murderer, it seems that he really came for that manuscript, so his identity is much easier to guess."

Although I saw news of the hunt on TV, "Jiang Xia" is still a minor after all.No arrest warrant was directly released on the news, nor was the name of this "high school student detective" announced.

Jiang Xia and Belmode didn't take this matter to heart at all, but there was a piece of good news instead.

——Don’t hang out near Omura’s house if you have nothing to do recently, because martial law is indeed enforced there.

……

When eating the last dessert.

The BP machine that Jiang Xia placed next to him suddenly rang.

He was startled, and then remembered that he had made an appointment with Qinjiu before, but he didn't expect Qinjiu to be so busy so late.

Jiang Xia picked up the BP machine and took a look, and found that there was not much content in it, only a series of numbers were displayed.

He found the phone and dialed it.

Soon, Gin's voice came from the receiver: "What's the matter?"

Hearing his calm tone, Jiang Xia guessed that Qin Jiu might not have had time to watch the news.

So he briefly summed up today's events. Of course, the big meal was omitted as usual: "After I came to Tokyo, I first found a way to contact President Omura, and asked him about the situation. But after Omura immediately He was killed, and the murderer also called the police anonymously—the same framing method as before.”

Gin thoughtfully.After a while, he lowered his head and flipped through the notepad in his hand: "I have found a lot of useful information. According to Duck, this time Ju Wuliu's new work is about the 'medical world'.

"In addition, among those who agreed to help you, a cameraman sent me some information he overheard - he had previously heard the conversation between Orange Five Willow and the boss of the TV station, and it is said that the unpublished book New book, related to 'smuggling'.

"So now, I'm checking who among the guests at the birthday party has the characteristics of 'medicine' and 'smuggling' at the same time. The identity of 'medicine' is easier to start with, but Ju Wuliu's new book contains this Therefore, on the way of writing, he had contacts with many professionals in the medical field, so there were several such people at the banquet. I just checked three, and found no problems for the time being, and there are still five left. "

Jiang Xia was silent for a while after hearing this: "... Well, it's a good thing to find out quickly, but before the truth is found out, you must not be wanted together."

"..." Qin Jiu didn't speak, but through the phone, he seemed to be able to feel his increasing murderous aura.

Jiang Xia felt relieved.

Then, before Gin Jiu hung up his phone, he talked about the business: "By the way, do you know about 'Ren'? The clue given by President Omura before his death was about him—it is said that Ju Wuliu told President Omura said that if someone asks him about the matter, he should answer 'ask Shiren and it will be clear'."

"When?"

Gin actually had some impression of this name.He found his phone book, a small book that looked like it had been used for a while.Turning to the first page, there was indeed a person with the surname "Shi Ren" on it.

"This person works at Kandagawa Publishing House." Qin Jiu looked at the information in the notebook, and reported the location and phone number of the publishing house to Jiang Xia.

……

Jiang Xia hung up the phone and returned to the hotel room with the information in her mind.

"Where are you going next?" Belmode leaned against the bed, and at this moment he slowly enjoyed a sliver of the fun of this world—you can eat all kinds of things like a pastime, and you don't have to worry about staying up Bad.

"Go to Kandagawa Publishing House." Jiang Xia walked to her bag and took a look, and quickly reached out to take out a map.He started to observe for a moment, his eyes paused slightly.

1192 [Vodka is so terrifying] Add more to the leader [Ganhe Patriarch]

"What's the matter?" Belmode saw Jiang Xia's subtle expression changes, and approached curiously.

Looking down, she quickly understood what Jiang Xia was thinking.

"Kandagawa Publishing House... is only three streets away from Omura's house." She once again felt the ubiquitous malice of Anonymous, "This happens to be what the police call a 'martial law area'."

Jiang Xia looked at the map and recalled the complex terrain nearby when he passed that area today:

"According to the current police forces they can mobilize, it is impossible to really seal off this block, and at most increase the patrol strength-even if we go in directly, the chance of being discovered may not be as high as imagined.

"But it's troublesome to hide and hide, and it doesn't rule out that there are powerful people on the police side. So it's best to make a phone call to trick Ren out - it's not easy for me to get in, but if he wants to come out, there should be no problem There were too many people invited to the birthday party of Juwuliu that day, and it is impossible for the police to put them all on the protection list."

……

This plan sounds simple and easy, very trouble-free.

However, after making a phone call, Jiang Xia was surprised to find that the number turned out to be empty—Kandagawa Publishing House seemed to have changed another phone number.

Jiang Xia sighed, hung up the handset, and rejoined Belmode: "...the information given by Qin Jiu has expired, and the phone cannot be connected."

Belmode was startled, and immediately commented unceremoniously: "What an unreliable guy."

Jiang Xia: "..." It's a bit strange to hear a person who specializes in fishing make such comments on model workers...

He silently lit a wax for the gin in his heart, when he suddenly thought of something, he turned to Belmode and looked her up and down.

Belmode froze slightly from his stare: "...?"

"By the way, it's better for you to contact the then editor." Jiang Xia's eyes lit up:

"I am wanted now, but you are not yet, you can move freely in that 'martial law area'. And compared to me, a 'murderer', your affinity is obviously higher - just ask him Just know what’s going on.”

Belmode nodded thoughtfully: "That's right."

……

This is how PlanB is generated.

Soon, Belmode and Jiang Xia separated, and went to Kandagawa Publishing House first, planning to chat with Shi Ren.

Jiang Xia watched her go away, turned back to the hotel, and waited for the news while watching TV.
