Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1190 1190 [Model worker, take a break] Ask for a monthly ticket ()
Jiang Xia held the receiver: "At the banquet, you are the only one with the surname 'Omura' who can talk to Mr. Ju——Think about it carefully, did he leave any hints or clues before his death?"

"Mr. Orange's secret signal is for you to ask me?" President Omura was even more puzzled.

However, Jiang Xia's words seemed to give him some hint.

He thought about this for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "That's right! Speaking of which, the day before the birthday party, I went to Mr. Orange to get the manuscript of the new book. He smiled mysteriously at that time , did not say whether to answer or not, but told me a strange thing

"—He said that if someone comes to me and asks me a question that I don't understand, I'll tell that person 'ask Shiren and you'll find out'...Ah——!! Who?! You, what are you doing?!"

Across the phone, there was a blunt "bang".

Followed by another messy muffled sound, the familiar sound of sticks and flesh colliding.

Gradually, Jiang Xia heard that President Omura fell silent, and the other side of the phone quickly became quiet.

……

Two kilometers away, at the home of President Omura.

A burly man, holding a golf club, stood next to President Omura who was already out of breath, reached out to pick up the receiver that was hanging in the air, and hung up the phone.

He wore gloves, a hat and a mask, his face was tightly covered, and his figure was also covered by a large windbreaker.

After killing his mouth, the man glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground, tightened his mask, turned around and left quickly.

……

After Jiang Xia returned to the car, Belmode asked, "What happened?"

Although no sound can be heard through the phone booth, the wall of the phone booth is transparent. Belmode looked inside just now, and quickly judged that something happened on the other side of the phone, interrupting Jiang Xia's questioning.

"Omura answered the phone and was beaten to death." Jiang Xia put on his seat belt and buckled it up. "However, before he died, he gave a new clue - 'ask Shi Ren and you'll find out'."

"Do you want to go to Omura to have a look?" Belmode asked casually.

"Forget it." Jiang Xia looked out the car window.

The place where President Omura lives is quite prosperous, and it is daytime now, and the traffic flow of people and vehicles is not too small: "The distance of two kilometers, the road conditions, by the time we pass, the murderer will have already run away—I don't want to really Just like in my memory, I ran to the scene of the crime to check the corpse, and then a group of 'witnesses' suddenly jumped out from behind...

"But I remember from the map that there is an overpass near Omura's house. When you pass by it, take a look at the situation and don't get too close."

Belmode thought so too, so she didn't drive towards Omura's house at first.

Holding the steering wheel, she seemed to inadvertently detour towards the nearby viaduct.

When approaching the place, Belmode's eyes suddenly moved slightly:

A police car drove towards him in the distance, and it seemed that it was going in the direction of Omura's house.

——President Omura was indeed dead, and someone directly called the police.

When passing by the police car, Jiang Xia raised her hand to block the sunlight, just blocking the police's unintentional glance.

The two cars converged and then moved away. The police car found nothing wrong and continued to drive towards Omura's house.

Belmode looked at the police car that was getting further and further away in the rearview mirror, and smiled: "You are much more skilled than I thought."

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...
