Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 366 The psychic master behind the scenes asks for a monthly ticket (σ≧▽≦)σ
The four children headed for the art classroom.

After they left, a middle-aged male figure walked lightly, stooping slightly to follow behind.The man's face was slightly gloomy, and the moonlight outside the window was reflected on the top of his smooth head. He raised his hand to touch his head from time to time, his eyes rolled back and forth, as if he was observing the environment and thinking.

Further back, more than ten meters away, two figures stood quietly at the corner, watching the situation in front of them silently... This is Jiang Xia and "Amuro Toru".

Although nothing has happened yet, in the dark night, an adult follows several children, and the man's expression and actions don't look like a good person... This is really easy to make people have a series of associations about crimes.

When Jiang Xia saw the bald head of the follower from a distance, he probably understood the situation.

If I remember correctly, this should be Conan's director of academic affairs.

It all started a few days ago: the director's beloved wig was lost, and he didn't want to see people during the day, so he had to go back to school in the dark at night to look for a wig.

Just now, after discovering that there were four wandering children in the school, the director was worried that the top of his head would be exposed, so he planned to take a series of measures to scare the children away before continuing to search.

Jiang Xia was recalling, at this moment, the mermaid next to him happily wagged his tail.

"Toru Amuro" next to him, the superficial murderous aura that was about to be squeezed out suddenly became more abundant at this moment.

Jiang Xia turned her head and took a look, and found that Belmode looked calm, but looked at the dean with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

He immediately understood—Bermod didn't know the real reason why the director followed the child, and he didn't even know that this was actually the school's teacher.So now, she may be thinking of the director as some kind of gangster with evil intentions.

And the gangster's target includes Conan.

……Um?

Jiang Xia touched the murderous aura that had swelled to her side, and looked at Conan who entered the art classroom in the distance through two windows, and suddenly felt that she smelled a business opportunity.

After the director approached the Boys Detective Team, Jiang Xia moved a little further.

Then he stopped at the corner, released a ghost to float into the art classroom, and temporarily moved his vision to the ghost, borrowing it to observe the situation in the room.

……

Conan was worried about alarming suspicious people in the school, so he didn't turn on the lights, but just shone the flashlight on the plaster statue in the art classroom for careful observation.

I saw that there was indeed a mark that did not match on the plaster base and the table, which happened to correspond to the behavior of the "victim" who left the mark in the weird rumor.In other words, the rumors about the art classroom are not groundless.

Conan continued to look along the edge of the plaster while thinking.

Soon, he found that there was a trace of glue on the plaster statue's forehead.

He looked at it suspiciously, and reached out to touch it.

While the flashlight beam was shaking, Conan suddenly felt something wrong with his hand.

When I looked closely, I saw a mouth split at the top of the plaster at some point, and there were many fangs in the mouth. The terrifying fangs pressed against Conan's hand that was stretched out to touch the plaster statue, and it seemed that it would close suddenly in the next second. Bite off those fingers in one bite.

Under Conan's slightly sluggish gaze, the inexplicably protruding mouth, the corners of the lips curled up, grinned a ferocious smile that caused cardiopulmonary arrest.

……

Suddenly there was a scream in the art classroom.

The child's penetrating voice spread far along the quiet and dark corridor,
Jiang Xia withdrew his vision and clay, just in time to see "Toru Amuro" next to him froze on conditioned reflex, and seemed to want to run over to check immediately, but finally stopped for some reason.

Jiang Xia imitated Belmode's expression and reacted similarly to her, while glancing at the sudden murderous look on the woman's body.

... Kudo is really easy to use.

……

In the art classroom.

Although Conan was taken aback, of course he wouldn't be intimidated by a mere clay mouth.

On the contrary, the other three children were startled by his sudden movement, and hugged each other like frightened birds.

Under their complicated gazes, Conan nervously looked at the plaster statue with a smooth forehead in front of him.

...the scary mouth was gone, as suddenly as it had appeared.

After observing for a while, Conan approached in disbelief, touched and knocked on the plaster suspiciously, trying to figure out the reason for the weird incident just now.

The other three children did not see the "mouth" just now.

Ayumi stared at Conan who was behaving abnormally, hesitated for a moment, and suggested in fear: "Let's leave here first...how about going to Brother Jiang Xia?"

Even if she gets beaten, she doesn't want to stay in this scary place where even Conan will be scared...

Conan is already completely interested.

He couldn't find the mechanism for a while, and it was difficult to take the things away, so he took out his mobile phone and took a picture of this weird plaster statue with the last bit of battery.

After observing several other plaster statues and finding that none of them had mouths, Conan felt more and more that what he encountered just now must be a man-made trick, but he has not yet figured out the reason... …perhaps some unique material that expands and evaporates under certain conditions?

After shooting the plaster cast from all angles, Conan touched it for the last time, and then said energetically, "Go to the health room to have a look."

Then he walked out the door quickly.

Conan remembered that a few days ago, someone claimed to have seen the mannequin in the health room running wildly in the corridor-now it seems that perhaps this series of "strange legends on campus" is simply a behind-the-scenes mastermind who is proficient in chemical materials. Hide in the shadows and play tricks.

The other three children looked at each other for a while, not daring to walk around by themselves, so they finally had to follow Conan.

A group of people soon came to the health room.

There are some ordinary-looking utensils piled up here, and there are no human-like cold plaster figures, which is more relaxing than the art classroom.

Ayumi looked around and felt that she had calmed down a lot.

When the other three students were looking for the mannequin, she also wanted to help a little, so she casually pulled away a piece of cloth covering something against the wall.

A mannequin of adult size, without any skin on the surface, emerged from under the cloth without warning.

Ayumi stared blankly at this "human" whose body surface only had muscles and blood vessels, as if it had been skinned and intuitively gave people a bloody feeling. When her scalp exploded, she let out a throat-ripping scream , escaped the door at unprecedented speed.

Conan was startled, and after recovering, he hurriedly chased him out.

The three little boys ran across two right angles in the direction Ayumi left, and then stopped at the stairs in the middle of the corridor—just now, they clearly saw Ayumi turning in here, but at this moment there was nothing in front of them. There was no sound of footsteps fleeing upstairs.

"... Ayumi?"

Conan tentatively called out.

No one responded, only echoes fell to the ground like ripples. The three little boys stood holding their breaths, clearly hearing the sound of their own hearts beating wildly in the quiet night.

With a hint of crying, Mitsuhiko said in an inaudible voice: "Ayumi, Ayumi must have been swallowed by the legend..."

Without a person out of thin air, Conan is no longer as relaxed as before.

But he firmly does not think there are "legends": "Those 'weird legends' are all man-made, and it is very likely that someone hiding in the school took Ayumi away!"

He looked around, flipping his flashlight for clues.

Before he could look around, Kojima Motota next to him suddenly let out a miserable howl like killing a pig.

Conan turned his head suddenly, and saw Yuanta raised his hand tremblingly, pointing at the window of the opposite building.

The building here is in the shape of "口".Looking along the past, one can see a skinless "person" clinging to the opposite glass, staring straight at them stiffly and coldly—it turned out to be the skinned mannequin just now!
...It cannot be that it is moving by itself, someone must have moved it.Conan gritted his teeth and rushed over.

Mitsuhiko and Genta also instinctively followed.

……

After the children left in a panic, the wooden door of the tool room on the ground floor of the first floor slowly slid open, revealing three figures.

Jiang Xia let go of Ayumi's hand and looked down at her.

After Ayumi rushed out of the health room just now, she ran around in a panic, trying to hide in a corner.

Then he bumped into Jiang Xia who was habitually hiding in the corner.

And then, because Ayumi bumped into someone in the darkness, she opened her mouth to scream in panic, but before she shouted, Jiang Xia covered her mouth.

...Jiang Xia didn't know why he wanted to stop her screaming, maybe it was purely a conditioned reflex after watching too many anime movies.

After doing this, he came back to his senses and looked at the other two people in the surrounding space with a little embarrassment.

Seeing that Ayumi was already petrified, she didn't make a sound after Jiang Xia let go.

As for Belmode, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this reaction. Instead, when Jiang Xia was arresting someone, she instinctively looked to the sides to confirm the situation... a very skilled look.

When there is no embarrassment around, and no one realizes that something is wrong, the embarrassment will naturally disappear...

The person involved, Jiang Xia, quickly returned to normal.

He waited for a while in the dark as if nothing had happened, and after the three children ran away, he put Yoshida Ayumi on the ground next to him.

Ayumi looked up and saw that it was Jiang Xia, she was stunned for a while, and subconsciously stepped back.

At the same time, she turned her head and looked to the side, looking for a little friend who could be beaten with her, but there was no one on both sides of the corridor, and the farther it went, the darker it became, as if filled with a terrible black fog.

"..."

Ayumi thought about the plaster statue with cold eyes in the art classroom just now, and then thought about the mannequin that seemed to have been skinned raw, and shivered suddenly.

Then she moved forward on her toes, and came to the place where she was only one step away from bumping into Jiang Xia, raised her immature arms, and hugged Jiang Xia's legs silently.

...She would rather be beaten by Jiang Xia's brother than to be eaten by that terrible model, or torn off by it to become the same kind...Compared with the weird legend, at least Jiang Xia's brother is more beautiful, and He doesn't kill people.

Jiang Xia inexplicably picked up a temporary follower.

He looked at Ayumi, who was so calm and frightened that her legs were weak, and felt that this level of brat was acceptable, so he bent down and picked up the child.

Afterwards, Jiang Xia looked down at his elongated shadow in the dim light, and found that after adding Ayumi, the outline of his shadow instantly expanded deformedly, and he nodded secretly in satisfaction.

In fact, if Ayumi rides on the neck, the scaring effect should be better.

But the kid seems to be wearing a skirt today...forget it.

Facing the shadow on the ground, after adjusting his hugging posture, Jiang Xia planned to continue following to see the current situation of the three children.

However, when he raised his head, he saw "Toru Amuro" next to him frowning slightly, thinking of something.

Seeing Jiang Xia looking at her, Belmode, who was wrapped in a murderous look, said in a low voice: "I also saw the opposite window through the crack of the door just now. There is indeed a mannequin facing this side and pasted on the window, but..."

Speaking of this, she pointed to the corridor at right angles to here through two windows.

According to her observation just now, the figure following the children was hiding behind the side window at this moment.

In other words, there are other people who move the mannequin.

——In this not too big teaching building, apart from them, there are actually two people hiding.

After Jiang Xia listened, she also frowned slightly on the surface, maintaining a high degree of synchronization with Belmode.

But then, taking advantage of Belmode's inattention, he glanced at her suspiciously.

... He thought that according to Belmod's concern for her cool guy, when she found a sign of danger, she would run over immediately to avoid accidents to Conan, but he didn't expect Belmod to be quite calm.

Is it because the mother-child tutor of the Black Organization is different, or is it the result of her rational thinking?
The latter actually makes some sense—I and Belmode have been hiding very well, so in Belmode's view, in the eyes of the person who followed behind Conan, he and a few children should be the only ones in the school.

So if the follower has the idea of ​​killing someone, he can pick up the mop and rush over to kill people randomly, there is no need to beat around the bush and scare people.

Perhaps because of this, Belmode felt that if she rushed over in such a non-fatal situation and exposed her affection for Conan to Uzo, who was also in the organization, she would lose a lot of advantages—even if she was against Amuro now. This kind of behavior will also make the Uzo next to him suspicious, and while doubting her attitude towards children, he will take off her vest by the way.

Belmode endured very hard.

Because of this, the murderous aura on her gradually increased unconsciously.

Jiang Xia watched silently, her mood kept +1, and she continued to take Ayumi to the health room.

Although there was a little anxiety on his face that he was trying to pretend not to be anxious, but in fact there was no disturbance in his heart.

After all, based on what happened tonight, Jiang Xia already guessed which incident it was.

——Two sneaky "bad guys" in the shadows, one is the teaching director who only has a wig in his eyes.

The other is Conan's new homeroom teacher, Kobayashi Chengko.

Mr. Kobayashi's appearance is very similar to Police Officer Sato, but his personality is completely different inside.

In comparison, Xiaolin Chengzi is more introverted and weak, and she is very nervous about the upcoming parent meeting.

So every night, she would sneak to the school, use mannequins and plaster figures in the dark, and put some dolls in the classroom, let them act as students and parents, and conduct parent-teacher meeting drills... Well, in another sense Said, this is actually a very courageous person, worthy of a woman who is the same model as Police Officer Sato.
