Conan's Corpse Picker

Suzuki Sonoko said in horror: "You...you pushed people down?!"

"..." Amuro was silent for a moment with the new pot on his head, and suddenly thought that he might have made a mistake in blaming Anonymous just now.

He sighed: "I want to hold her..."

……

Jiang Xia dispersed the puppets in mid-air, and his consciousness returned to his body.

The main body is still in the secret passage of the castle at this time.

Jiang Xia waited quietly for a while.

Not long after, I saw Akemi Miyano leading a group of shikigami, lining up and floating back through the wall.

Jiang Xia's eyes lit up slightly, and she patted Miyano Akemi's head with rua to show encouragement, then picked up the souls one by one, folded them up, and signed the contract.

After that, he looked around and started to wander around, preparing to "encounter" with the person who came to him.

——The structure of this castle is complicated, the secret passages are even more criss-crossed, and the secret doors are also very hidden. If you are not careful, you will get lost.

Coupled with the fact that "anonymous with a strange position" deliberately obstructed it, it was normal for Jiang Xia to wander around inside for an hour.

……

After Anon jumped off the tower suddenly, the four people on the top of the tower quickly chased them down, but they didn't feel too flustered—there was news about Anon jumping the Shinkansen with a bomb in their hands. They always felt that Anon would not die just by jumping off the tower.

Facts have proved that several people were right.

Under the tower, there is no unknown corpse at all.

There was only one body of the "Old Lady".

Although human lives were at stake, the four of them couldn't determine the position of the other people in the castle, so they didn't rush to find a helper to collect the corpse, but slipped into the secret passage of the castle first and concentrated on finding someone.

They successfully found Jiang Xia.

……

After Jiang Xia met with his teammates, he briefly explained a few words, and then told them: there is a skeleton in the secret passage, the skeleton's foot bones are thinner, it seems to be an elderly woman.

The attention of the other four people was quickly absorbed by the corpse, especially the two detectives.

——They immediately thought of the "old lady" who fell to death under the tower, and gradually figured out the cause and effect.

……

The next day, the phone line was fixed.

The police arrived quickly, and the car called by Amuro Toru also came.

When Toru Amuro opened the trunk and checked the tires inside, Jiang Xia also leaned over to take a look. This time, the tires were actually packed in a metal box with a lock.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He was shocked for a moment, but soon relaxed again.

——If you really encounter the case again later, then you don't need to bite the spare tire at all.Just hide under the car while others are not paying attention, and damage the other tire casually.It is impossible for Toru Amuro to take four spare tires on the road.

However, unfortunately, the way back was very peaceful and no more incidents occurred.

Seeing the familiar streets of Mihua Town, the five people in the car let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Four of them were thankful that they had finally reached their destination.

The other, with a little bit of regret.

……

There are also specific regulations for organizing affairs.

For example, after completing a task, you need to write a report.

This was originally Toru Amuro's job, but Toru Amuro left this matter to his nominal apprentice.

……

After Jiang Xia returned to Tokyo, he went to Dr. Ali's house first, and took back the cats and dogs left there.

——He is not at home these days, but the action of the bad guys looking for cats and dogs has not stopped, and the pets picked up need someone to take care of them.

So Jiang Xia used his grandfather as a tool man—the neighbor Dr. A Li.

When he helped Dr. Ali test those new inventions in the past, he was often bombed, so when he troubled his neighbors, Jiang Xia was also very righteous.

……

Jiang Xia came to the office with her pet, and while waiting for business in the store, she wrote a task report according to the sample given by Amuro.

By evening, he had successfully completed the work.

Trying to send the report to a specific mailbox.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.

——Listen to the ringtone, it's the black one, which is the special machine for the contact organization.

"...?" Jiang Xia was startled, and picked up the phone.

Gin's voice came from the receiver: "Where are you now?"

Jiang Xia tasted these words and felt that things were unusual.

——When Gin sends out tasks, he usually goes straight to them, which saves time.It is absolutely impossible to first use such words as "where are you" and "are you free" intimately to ask the other party if it is inconvenient.

So... the "where are you" here is probably similar to the police investigation alibi?

Jiang Xia: "..."

Speaking of it, I always feel that Gin's tone is murderous.

It's a pity that I'm not by his side now, otherwise I'd be able to squeeze out a lot...

Jiang Xia regretfully listened to the voice in the earphone, and regretfully squeezed the ghost on his leg: "In the office."

As he spoke, he glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window.

Just now, just as Jiang Xia moved the cats and dogs in, it started to rain.

This weather, coupled with this time...

He suddenly thought: Could it be Shirley who defected?

Sure enough, Qin Jiu mentioned this code name in his next sentence.

It's just that before he finished speaking, someone knocked on the back of the sofa that Jiang Xia was leaning on.

Jiang Xia turned her head, and saw Toru Amuro came back at some time, standing behind him elusively, stretching out his hand towards him.

It looked like he was asking for a cell phone.

Chapter 95 Don't Rebel Me

Jiang Xia subconsciously clenched her phone tightly, not wanting to give it away.

But on second thought, no matter how murderous Gin's voice was, he couldn't get it through the radio waves.

"……"Ugh……

Jiang Xia silently handed the phone to Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro answered the phone: "Jiang Xia is helping me now. If you are short of people, go recruit them, and don't always disturb other people's subordinates—speaking of which, how long do you plan to continue your simple continuous thinking?"

Qin Jiu sneered: "Simple methods are more effective. Starting with interpersonal relationships is also the most basic method of investigation. Also, I was asking Jiang Xia, why did you mix it up? Was it because he was afraid that he would slip up. Heh, originally I was just It is customary to ask him, but now, I doubt your position."

"I'm sure because Jiang Xia has been in my office during the period when you all looked down on Shirley." Amuro Toru paused, and suddenly let out a sneer of the same style as gin, retreating as an advance:

"Since you're so persistent, why don't we make a bet. You can take him back for interrogation, but if he doesn't get involved in this matter, you give me your newly acquired potion—that precious assassination poison, What a waste in the hands of a guy like you who likes to shoot his prey."

Gin was silent for a moment, but did not agree.

He let out a disdainful cold snort, and hung up the phone.

……

In Qin Jiu's eyes, after experiencing Miyano Akemi's extermination, Jiang Xia's suspicion of Shirley's defection this time is actually not as high as last time.

I would ask Jiang Xia because it is not easy to escape from the organization.Shirley was able to succeed, most likely because she had helpers.

As for who the helper is...

Shirley's parents and sister are both dead, and she is usually cold and ignorant, and rarely makes friends.Counting down according to the relationship between people, Jiang Xia was quickly counted.

That's why Gin made this phone call.

……

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jiu thought of something and searched Jiang Xia's name casually.

In related news, there were two more incidents.

One is a murder case of a potter in Izu, and the other is an old case in an old castle.

Qin Jiu looked at the time and place, and his doubts about Jiang Xia eased a lot.

——During this period, because of Miyano Akemi's death, Shirley's relationship with the organization became visibly tense.

If Jiang Xia was really her helper, at this juncture, he would not leisurely go to other places to solve the case.

The same goes for bourbon.

...In other words, these two people can be temporarily crossed off the list of suspects.

Gin looked at his notepad.

Bourbon - this was added on the phone just now, crossed out.

Jiang Xia, cross it out too.

After that, Gin looked at the next suspicious person, then picked up the phone again, wrapped in a murderous look.Keep asking.

……

In the detective agency.

Jiang Xia took the mobile phone handed back by Toru Amuro, a little alert.
