Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 191 Didn't You Really Steal a Gun? Ask for a Monthly Ticket ()
Waiting and waiting, more than an hour passed.Toru Amuro's tea had been refilled for two cups, but the writer still didn't show up.

Jiang Xia had already changed her drink from tea to fruit juice, and couldn't help but glance at Toru Amuro: "Boss, are you going to stay overnight today?"

Toru Amuro nodded calmly: "I'm busy with work."

Jiang Xia: "..."

Just as they were talking, there was a commotion in the corridor—the ceremony was about to begin, Kogoro Mori and the others hurriedly packed up the table tennis room, went out one after another, and prepared to go to the ceremony.

After they left one after another, a figure suddenly came down the stairs.

Toru Amuro's eyes lit up, and he poked Jiang Xia secretly, reminding him to pay attention—if I remember correctly, the person who came down was none other than Tomo Imatake's friend of the writer, Nobuichi Sasai.

The roommates are all down, will Tomo Imatake be far behind?

Toru Amuro felt that he had seen the dawn.

……

Under the veiled gaze of the two, Sasai Nobuichi walked to the front desk while looking at his wrist, and asked the waiter, "What time is it? My watch seems to be broken."

The waiter said politely, "7:46 in the evening."

"...I said the clock was slow, but that guy still doesn't believe it." Nobuo Sasai clicked his tongue, turned and walked out of the hall, heading straight for the festival.

Toru Amuro looked away from him, waiting for Satoshi Imatake to appear.

Jiang Xia looked at Nobu Sasai for a while, until his back completely disappeared, then looked away dully, flipped through the mystery novel in his hand, and passed the time.

……

Before I knew it, another ten minutes passed.

The stairs were almost swept away by Tomo Amuro's passing gaze from time to time, but Satoshi Imatake still didn't go downstairs.

As the time of the festival approached, there were fewer and fewer people in the hotel.

After a while, the festival is about to begin.

Amuro glanced at his watch silently, then looked upstairs: "... Imatake Tomo will not forget that there is a festival today, right?"

Jiang Xia cooperated with him to analyze: "It may also be that he found out that he was late, and then he just didn't bother to go there."

While talking, at this moment, the door of the hotel was pushed open from the outside, and a man wearing sunglasses, a scarf and a hat, who was tightly shielded, strode in and went straight to the second floor.

Jiang Xia glanced at the man, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Following what he said just now, he continued to whisper to Amuro Toru: "It's not an option to wait like this. If the festival is over, Imatake Tomo's roommate will come back, and it will be troublesome at that time... Why don't I go to the second floor for a stroll , Try to meet by chance? There are also some lounges upstairs, he might pass by."

Amuro thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will continue to guard here."

……

Jiang Xia walked up the stairs slowly to the second floor.Like a tourist enjoying life.

It is different from Jiang Xia's leisurely "hanging out" attitude.

In the two adjacent rooms, someone was busy busy.

……

In room 201, there are a man and a woman.They were Kogoro Mori's two classmates—Kazushi Nakamichi who proposed to play table tennis just now, and Yumi Horikoshi who was angry because of it.

At that time, the reason Horikoshi Yumi was furious was because the time of "playing table tennis together" just now was originally a "private chat" time that she had agreed with Nakamichi Kazushi.

She and Nakamichi Kazushi talked about a love that spanned more than ten years.The two should have entered the marriage hall long ago, but Horikoshi Yumi didn't like the feeling of "being bound", and rejected Nakamichi Kazushi's marriage proposal several times.

Nakamichi Kazushi then broke up with her, went on a blind date with another woman, and quickly decided to get married.After Horikoshi Yumi learned about it, she was resentful of this behavior of "abandoning her", and took the intimate photos of the two at the time to blackmail Nakamichi and Kazushi.

Furious, Nakamichi Kazushi decided to kill this annoying guy.Just now, after the students finished playing table tennis, they went to visit the festival one after another.He coaxed Yumi Horikoshi to play a game alone.

When both of them were sweating profusely, Zhongdao Hezhi suddenly smiled sinisterly and said, "I have already stolen those intimate photos you brought."

Shocked, Horikoshi Yumi rushed back to the room and looked down at her backpack.

Nakamichi Kazushi followed immediately, and after entering the room, he took out a pistol and pointed it at her from behind—Horikoshi Yumi had exercised violently just now, and if she was killed at this time, her body would stiffen faster than usual.Going forward and backward, she will just "die when everyone is playing table tennis together", and Nakamichi and Kazushi will have a perfect alibi.

Thinking of the wonderful scene at that time, Kazushi Nakamichi slowly tightened his hand on the trigger, showing a happy smile.

……

In room 202 next door, there are two writers—Tomomo Imatake and Shinichi Sasai.

After Noburu Sasai swaggered out of the hotel, he put on his disguise again and ran back—he was going to kill the bastard Tomato Imatake along with him.

In Sasai Nobuichi's view, the work that made Tomoka Imamake famous was clearly completed by the two of them, but in the end, it was only Tomo Imatake who became popular.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world was unfair, and gradually he became murderous, so he spent a year preparing for tonight's murder.

For tonight's ceremony, bonfires in the shape of "Heaven", "Down" and "One" will be set off on the top of the mountain in order.

A year ago, Sasai Nobuichi used an old-fashioned camera to take a photo of himself with the two bonfires "Tian" and "Xia".

This year, he planned to rush to the scene wearing the same clothes after shooting Tomokazu Imatake, and asked a passer-by to take a photo with the word "one" for him.In this way, he looks like he has been staying at the festival venue and has never returned to the hotel, so he can naturally have an alibi.

At this time, Sasai Shinichi was already wearing a disguise, entered the room, and was messing up the room—in order to disguise it as a burglary.

Hearing movement in the living room, Imatake Tomo came out suspiciously with a toothbrush in his mouth, and saw Nobuichi Sasai standing by the door, covered tightly.

Imatakechi said doubtfully, "You are..."

Sasai Nobuichi smiled at him and pulled out his gun suddenly.

……

In the corridor separated by a wall.

When Jiang Xia went up to the stairs on the second floor, through the window of the corridor, he could see the fireworks at the festival from afar.

At the same time as the fireworks exploded, there was a "bang" gunshot in the hotel.

It was actually two shots, but because they happened to go off at the same time, it sounded like there was only one gun.

……

Sasai Nobuichi shot and killed Tomo Imatake one by one, carried a bag of belongings, pretended to be a robber, and rushed out the door.

When the guests on the same floor heard the gunshots, they poked their heads out of the room suspiciously. Nobu Sasai hissed and shouted at the crowd watching: "Get out of the way!"

Passers-by saw the gun in his hand and swished back into the room.

……

As soon as Nobu Sasai finished shouting, he glanced around and saw that the corridor in front of him was empty, except for a young man passing by.

The man probably hadn't reached his own room yet, so he couldn't withdraw into the room, but he also stopped, as if obediently "get out of the way".

Sasai Xuanyi didn't pay much attention to this "passer-by" and ran past Jiang Xia.

The moment he passed by, his collar was heavy, and he was suddenly pulled into the air by a hand, followed by a heavy blow to his wrist.

"what--!!"

Sasai Nobuichi let out a scream, let go of his strength, and the gun fell to the ground with a click.

Almost at the same time, his whole body was swung around like a sack, and hit the ground with a "boom".

……

Sasai Nobuichi, a mental worker, was suddenly hit by such a heavy blow, and passed out without saying a word.

And what fell from him was not only a gun, but also a camera.

The camera drew an arc in the air, and fell precisely to the door of Room 201—the room where Nakamichi Kazushi and Horikoshi Yumi were.

While knocking the door open a crack, the moment the camera landed, a lump of clay-like thing protruded from the ground out of thin air, and hit the shutter indistinctly.The camera made a "click" shutter sound, which was wrapped in clay and diluted by the sound of Nobuichi Sasai's slap on the ground, making it inconspicuous.

The camera has done its job and continues to slide aside.

One hand caught it just as it was about to tumble down the stairs.

——Toru Amuro heard the gunshots and ran upstairs vigilantly.

Behind him are Mao Lilan and Conan—two high school students who were already on their way to the festival. she.
