Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 248 Don't worry, I won't find strange people

In Jiang Xia's impression, Jiang Yuan Tokio's scheduled death place was a party called "Izu Mysterious Journey".

The host of the party is a person with the forum id "Night Baron".The Dark Night Baron invited some people to the Izu Princess Hotel on the Internet for a trip of three days and two nights.

During the trip, the host will act as the "Night Baron", hiding among the many participants, and creating some incidents one after another.Those who can discover the true identity of the "Night Baron" can get a prize - a virus also named "Night Baron".

Previously, after Jiang Xia saw the name "Jiangyuan Tokio" on the assassination list, he immediately went to the forum to search for relevant news.

He successfully found the night baron's event post, but at that time, the registration was over.

If you want to pick up ghosts, you have to travel to the same place, or you have to look at other people's quotas-this forum does not have real-name authentication, and quotas can be transferred.

And Jiang Xia remembered that an old friend of Dr. A Li happened to sign up for this trip, but just before departure, that person's granddaughter fell ill.So he gave the opportunity to Dr. Ali.

The doctor is not very interested in the computer field. Recently, he is still preparing to participate in the society, and he doesn't have much time to travel.

So Jiang Xia felt that if Dr. A Li really received the invitation, he could go to his house more to see the situation, and he might get the qualification to participate.

Anyway, the two are so close to each other, when returning the lunch box or rubbing the rice, I went by the way.

Compared with paying out of your own pocket and deliberately going to Izu, this kind of participation qualification "sent by others" is less likely to attract doubt.

……

After making a plan, the next day, Jiang Xia went next door to have breakfast with Hui Yuanai.

As a result, he went too early. Dr. Ali stayed up late yesterday to conduct experiments, and he hasn't gotten up yet.

Jiang Xia sighed silently, the old man deserves to have so little hair.

The first attempt at looting the case failed.

Dr. Ali's charging time is unknown, waiting until he wakes up is unrealistic and too deliberate.

So Jiang Xia didn't stay for too long, but continued to do business - after going out with a few cat bags, he went to the detective agency as usual.Get ready to receive invitations and deal with backlogs along the way.

One day passed, the cats were all delivered, and no invitation came.

Jiang Xia said she was very calm.

In the evening, Jiang Xia locked the door of the detective agency, continued to go to Dr. A Li's house for dinner, and started his second attempt to find a case by the way.

This time, the doctor woke up, but he didn't mention the mysterious trip to Izu, maybe he hasn't received the quota transferred from others.

However, what was more unexpected was that after dinner, Jiang Xia suddenly received a text message.

……

The sender appears to be "Kusaburo Hijikata", a well-known middle-aged actor who has recently been involved in scandals.

Not long ago, Jiang Xia and this person participated in the same detective variety show.

At that time, Hijikata Kosaburo discovered Jiang Xia's "cheating" behavior in the reasoning game, and his attitude immediately changed 180°, from turning a blind eye to Jiang Xia, or even avoiding it, to exchanging business cards with a smile.

Jiang Xia then conveniently saved his number.

……

At this time, after receiving the text message, Jiang Xia unlocked the screen and clicked to view it.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that this was indeed a message inviting him to be a guest—the reason was that Kosaburo Hijikata would be accepting a detective TV series in the near future, and he wanted to ask Jiang Xia, a famous detective, about the real life of a detective.

The time is relatively short, and it will be tomorrow.And there are some cryptic additional messages.

From this invitation, Jiang Xia smelled a hint of bad intentions.

But he didn't mind, because the obvious murderous aura was stronger.

Jiang Xia moved her fingers in a happy mood, and said "I must make an appointment on time".

He still remembers the murderous look on Kosaburo Hijikata.

It seems that after so many days of preparation, the earth party finally couldn't hold back, and planned to carry out his plan of "killing his wife in front of the detective".

……

Hijikata Kosaburo's recent life can be described as a state of desperation - he and his wife cuckolded each other, but he was inferior in skills and failed to leave evidence of his wife's cheating, but was photographed by the other party.

Currently, his wife is using this to extort high alimony from him.

Hijikata Kosaburo couldn't play against the opponent, so he decided to overturn the chessboard in anger.

——He used the layout of his home to carefully design a murder method, and planned to find someone who could speak with enough weight to be his "witness".Try to clean up the crime on the spot, and by the way, hold the blame for the murder to the young neighbor who cheated him.

In the last variety show, Tufang found out about Jiang Xia's "cheating", which made him feel that Jiang Xia is a stupid detective with no reputation and no strength.The ability to solve the case depends entirely on the capital operation and think tank behind it.

The recent serial murder case in the undersea restaurant made Kosaburo Hijikata confirm this idea.

——What casts a shadow on the car accident... Heh, this must be just an excuse for Jiang Xia not to solve the case.The real reason for not solving the case must be that the incident happened suddenly. In that kind of closed sea, his think tank could not provide support, so he didn't say anything in that case.

In short, in Hijikata Kosaburo's view, Jiang Xiayi is an excellent "witness".

And in the last show, after Jiang Xia was caught cheating by him, he looked visibly flustered.Kozaburo Hijikata claims to be a veteran of the entertainment industry. Facing this kind of young man who is timid, has no idea, and has a bad mentality, he can control everything with one hand.

Jiang Xia has something in his hands, so he must not dare to refuse this invitation.

To be on the safe side, in the invitation text message sent to Jiang Xia, Hijikata Kosaburo deliberately arranged the meeting time very close, this is also to prevent Jiang Xia from having time to discuss with his think tanks.

In addition, behind the "ps", Hijikata Kozaburo also specifically stated that this is a friendship guidance-it is enough for two people to meet in private, and don't bring some strange people to get involved.

This "strange person" is of course alluding to the think tank behind Jiang Xia.

……

Kosaburo Hijikata sent a well-written text message and just wanted to pour a cup of tea.

As soon as he stood up, the phone rang.

He was startled, looked at the screen, and saw that it was Jiang Xia who replied the message - the fake detective really agreed.

And it turned out to be a second.

This speed and attitude made Hijikata Kozaburo nod secretly in relief.

From this point of view, Jiang Xia really realized that he had caught him.

Maybe these days, Jiang Xia has been anxiously waiting to be contacted by him, and even added him to the special attention... That's why he replied so quickly.
