Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1020 1020 [Run, npc! 】

consciousness space.

In the activity room of Fudo High School's "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society".

Without the players, Jiang Xia opened the door and entered the room.

A few meters away, Miyano Akemi was holding "Miyano Shiho", or in other words, holding an empty shell modeled based on Miyano Shiho's data, and reluctantly handed it out.

Matsuda Jinpei took it, looked at his watch, and quickly ran to the other side with the case on his shoulders.

Jiang Xia withdrew her gaze and looked at Miyano Mingmei: "If you tell Haibara Ai that you are a ghost, she may not be able to accept it for a while. Let her make up a suitable reason for herself, such as why the body is dead but the brain is covered by mysterious science. The group intercepted it, and made it into what it is now like an 'artificial human'."

"..." Miyano Akemi nodded, looking down at her hands thoughtfully.

Although my younger sister was cute when she was a child, the adult version is more comfortable to hold... If only I could have both.

……

the other side.Each player's "home".

Suzuki Sonoko hung up the phone with a bang.

This time, before she tried to break through the door, the two parents had already heard the movement.

They looked up following the sound and asked suspiciously, "Who is looking for you?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the pair of "parents", her eyes flickered slightly, she suddenly thought of something, and said confidently: "It's a call from the school!"

"...School?" The parents muttered, "It's so late, and you still let the students go there, it's really professional... Forget it, since the teachers said so, then you go and have a look-remember to come back early, don't Running around outside."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up, he responded perfunctorily, and ran out quickly.

……

After going out smoothly, she soon met three people on the street.

——Mori Ran, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji.They finally used similar methods to sneak out of the house.

The four joined together.

Hattori Heiji looked around suspiciously: "Jiang Xia isn't here? Is he also in school? Tsk, I was beaten back by my mother just as I was about to go out, the two of them can..."

Kudo Shinichi suddenly raised his elbow to bump him, and interrupted him: "Hurry up and go to school. It seems that 'Ms. Miyano' hung up in the middle of the call... I hope nothing happened."

Hattori Heiji was taken aback.I realized something belatedly, and didn't talk about the topic just now.

The four hurried to the school.

Unlike several other Tokyoites, Hattori Heiji has been living in Osaka, and he doesn't have much contact with the families of his classmates in Tokyo.

At this time, he thought back on what happened just now, and vaguely understood the reason why Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai were not here-the "Hattori Heizo" and "Hattori Shizuka" that Hattori Heiji met just now had different personalities, but their appearance Wait, but it was obviously constructed according to his parents' model.

Hattori Heiji: "..." In this case, the reason why Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai were able to leave home in the middle of the night is already obvious - their parents are not alive, and no one is guarding the door, so they can leave at night at will.

It's just that this kind of independent exploration must be very risky... I have to rush to the school as soon as possible to help them.

……

The school is not far away.

The four of them quickly came to the courtyard wall.

Just about to climb over the wall, Mao Lilan suddenly noticed something, stared at the ginkgo tree next to him, and was shocked: "Corpse... Corpse!!"

——She remembered that this was the "sixth mystery": a student hanged on a ginkgo tree.If you come here with the intention of "seeing the dead body", you won't see anything.Only by passing by inadvertently can the corpse be seen.So according to the legend, no one has collected the student's body so far.

"?!"

The other three people also immediately understood what Mao Lilan was talking about.

Suzuki Sonoko let out an "Aww!", not daring to look up the tree at all, turned around quickly, and huddled together with Mao Lilan.

Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji looked over decisively, and then got goosebumps all over their bodies——while the tree shadows were shaking, there was actually a figure on the tree.

The terrifying corpse that had been hanging for so many years seemed to be aware of their presence, and slowly turned around, approaching the courtyard wall where they were.

Then Jiang Xia's voice came out:

"Can you come out?"

"..."

"??" The four high school students were taken aback, "...how could it be you?!"

Jiang Xia jumped from the branch to the wall, looking down at several classmates.

While stretching out his hand to pull the person against the wall, he answered the question just now:
"There was no one in my house, so I went out to see what was going on, and then I realized you were trapped by your parents.

"Later, I met Ms. Miyano and came to school with her... Sigh, if I had known you would come out, I would have waited for you to come together. The more people there are, the quicker it is to see."

"You didn't receive her call?" Kudo Shinichi climbed up the wall, and was taken aback when he heard Jiang Xia's words.

Immediately he figured it out by himself: "That's right, none of us have mobile phones, and you're not at home, and you don't have a landline..."

Kudo Shinichi quickly thought: probably Jiang Xia and Hui Yuan Ai went to the activity room together, and then Hui Yuan Ai started to check the information.

At the same time, because the bound book cannot be disassembled, it can only be read by one person.Jiang Xia couldn't be free, and time was precious, so he went to several incredible places to check the situation, and because of this, he missed Hui Yuan Ai's call.

……

Kudo Shinichi also quickly added the known information to Jiang Xia:
"We were able to leave home only after we received a call from her from school—Miyano said that she knew the truth about the 'Seven Mysteries', and asked us to come to the school to gather and plan to announce the answer. Later, she seemed to want to What did you say, but on the way, the phone was cut off suddenly."

After a few simple exchanges, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji have already climbed up the wall.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko are still under the wall.

Suzuki Sonoko raised her head and saw Jiang Xia's outstretched hand. She subconsciously held it and squeezed it, but she seemed a little shy about the "Night School" and had no intention of climbing up—this school is very Old, the atmosphere is eerie, not to mention those terrible legends.

Jiang Xia felt Suzuki Sonoko's entanglement, looked down at her, and said hesitantly:
"If you are afraid, why don't you stay outside first? ——The scope of this 'game' to solve puzzles should only be in the school, and it is probably safe outside."... If the group is destroyed again, there will still be a trace of fire, Put a few people back as they are.

Suzuki Sonoko was taken aback.

She glanced back at the foggy street, looked up at Jiang Xia, and suddenly climbed up the wall with hands and feet: "I want to be with you!"

Mao Lilan also recovered from the fright of the "corpse" just now.

She took a deep breath and climbed up the fence neatly: "Let's go. That Sakura-senpai also said that it's people, not ghosts, who cause the 'Seven Wonders'... I'm not afraid!"

This girl who looked very weak, said so, but she was still a little scared in her heart.

Jiang Xia watched helplessly as Mao Lilan encouraged herself, but she couldn't control the strength in her hand, and accidentally crushed a wall brick with a "click".
