Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 372 Fake Wine vs Watered Wine (Joint Chapter)

Mentioning "a person who looks exactly like me", a figure suddenly appeared in Toru Amuro's mind.

— Belmode.The member of the organization who is good at disguise.

And if it was really her, Belmode should be upstairs right now.Otherwise, Tomomi Sakaguchi would be surprised at most, and wonder why "Toru Amuro" switched to delivering food the next day, instead of showing the hellish expression of having his worldview broken.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro walked back to Sakaguchi Tomomi.

Under the stiff and terrified gaze of the actress, he took the huge paper bag from her arms back into his hands.

Then he said kindly: "It's not easy to take so many things, I'll help you deliver them."

If there are any checkpoints in the middle, you can also try to use takeaway as a checkpoint.In my impression, the top floor of this building seems to be the studio of a monster movie that is gradually outdated.

In places that are about to close down, security should not be so strict.

……

After Conan made up his mind to verify the anonymous identity of the disguised version, he secretly opened the cover of his watch.

——If the disguised version of Anonymous is wary of him, and his hands are too late to reach the face of the disguised version of Anonymous, then try an anesthesia needle, after all, the range of the anesthesia needle is longer than his arm.

At this time, "Amuro Toru" just finished adjusting the equipment.

He straightened up, and walked briskly to where Jiang Xia and Conan were, with an ordinary smile on his face, but somehow gave people a feeling that he was very happy now.

Halfway through, the studio door was suddenly pushed open, and a person came in.

——The original Toru Amuro was holding the takeaway paper bag, and his eyes swept across the field. He first saw Jiang Xia, and then his eyes fell on "Toru Amuro".

"Toru Amuro" paused, turned to look at the door, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The two sides looked at each other, not knowing what they understood in the blink of an eye, and their murderous aura rose at the same time.

Jiang Xia looked at the two in surprise, hesitated for a moment, really couldn't think of what to say here, so she silently threw the ghost out of her body.

... In short, let's get some murderous spirit first, and subsidize the family.

Belmode's murderous aura is often high, but Amuro Toru's murderous aura is very rare.Last time, his murderous aura disappeared as soon as he probed it, but this time it lasted much longer than before.

Although these two bottles of wine can barely count as out-of-the-box lunatics, they are still far from the level of gin. In a public place like this, it shouldn't be possible to immediately draw a gun and start a fight...

So Jiang Xia's onlookers felt quite at ease.

Just thinking about it, the mermaid happily swam back with a fluffy mass of murderous spirit in her arms.

Jiang Xia glanced down, remembering that she went just now, it seemed to be in the direction of Toru Amuro...

So, while everyone was looking back and forth between the two "Amuro Toru" suspiciously, and no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Xia raised her hand when the mermaid passed by, and precisely took away the murderous aura in her arms.

When the mermaid looked at the empty hands in a daze, Jiang Xia looked at the coffee-flavored murderous look and fell into deep thought for a while.

Could it be that Toru Amuro always went to work in a coffee shop, not just to collect information, but also his personal preference?

...He thought that according to the "bourbon" style, the murderous taste should be some kind of spirit of the same name, but he didn't expect it to be coffee... Well, thinking about it, at least it's not a strange thing like a sandwich.

And in a sense, the coffee is quite compelling, but the direction of development is not the same as Jiang Xia expected before.

……

When the original Amuro entered the studio, he didn't hide much.

So not only Jiang Xia and Belmode, but other staff members and a few elementary school students also immediately noticed the slightly stiff atmosphere here.

Then I was surprised to find that there were actually two "Toru Amuro" at the scene.

The brain hole of the staff is not as big as Sakaguchi Tomomi, and it is much more normal in comparison.

Soon, Jiang Xia heard someone whispering: "Twins?"

"That's right." Belmode heard it too. She smiled at the staff members with a natural expression, turned around and walked towards Toru Amuro, and introduced, "This is my twin brother—Akira Amuro."

Jiang Xia: "...?"

Conan's eyes turned back and forth between "Amuro Toru" and "Amuro Akira". Because "Amuro Toru" reacted so naturally, he couldn't be sure whether it was someone disguised, or Boss Amuro really had a twin brother.

When Toru Amuro heard Belmode's words, the corners of his eyes twitched visibly.

But he also quickly returned to normal, looking at the others: "You seem to be taking a break—I have something to ask him, don't mind."

As he said that, he put the takeaway into the arms of the staff next to him, put his arms around Belmode, and Belmode raised his hand slightly at the same time, and the two of them instantly became a common good brother posture.

It's just that among the "good brothers", one has a sharp blade hidden between his fingers, and the other has a pocket gun hidden in his palm with a slightly wider cuff.

The two identical faces looked at each other closely, and Jiang Xia seemed to see a string of illusory sparks in the air.

Then the two bottles of wine left the venue tacitly, pushed the door out, and disappeared quickly.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Conan stared at the door thoughtfully. Although he didn't see the murder weapon in Belmode and Toru Amuro's hands, at least he could see the tense atmosphere under the calm surface.

...The two Anonymous don't seem to have a good relationship...No, according to this, the probability of Mr. Amuro being Anonymous is actually not high.

——That's right, after seeing Toru Amuro's reaction, Conan felt that compared to the "twins", the lighting assistant was more likely to be disguised as Anonymous, who would accidentally be approached by the real one.

He looked towards the corridor where the two "Amuro Toru" disappeared, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to follow to see the situation.

However, as soon as he took a step, a voice with a strong sense of presence suddenly came from behind him.

A man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in the studio at some point.

——Producer Kamei looked at the "Gomera" who was only a little taller than an adult with his nostrils, and then looked at the three children who were surrounding the Gomera, wondering why there were human beings in it, and said strangely:
"It's disappointing. In fact, there is no Gomera in the world—only these old and expensive rag covers, and the bearded uncle inside, haha. Fortunately, after this year, this old crew will be completely disbanded."

Director Mikami turned his head when he heard the words, frowned and said, "The children are just visiting guests, please don't say such things in front of them."

Producer Kamei showed a mocking smile, rejected the director's request, and continued to criticize the music, performance, special effects props, Gomera's appearance, and the age of the resident actors in front of the guests. He just strolled away comfortably, ready to eat - as time went by, he became more and more impatient with the Gomera series of movies, and felt that nothing was in line with the trend of the times.

Because of this episode, the atmosphere in the studio became dull.

Director Mikami cleared his throat in embarrassment: "By the way, the raw film shot yesterday has been developed. Let's go to the screening room and have a look."

Other staff members chimed in.

But for a few guests who came to visit, it is not suitable to see the film in advance.

The actor who had just taken off his Gomera special effects costume - Hideo Matsui wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and said, "Let me take the guests to visit the studio."

As he spoke, his slightly hesitant eyes fell on Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia glanced at the murderous look on Matsui Hideo, and patted Conan: "Go and accompany those children, the equipment here is very precious, don't let them mess around."

Seeing that Jiang Xia seemed to be going to find the "Amuro Toru" in person, Conan immediately stopped his steps to fight and nodded.

...Thinking rationally, if Mr. Anshi really had a conflict with Anonymous, Jiang Xia is obviously more suitable than him, a primary school student, in terms of fighting.

His watch anesthesia needle can only bring down one person.And if he stabs Mr. Amuro unconscious, no one knows what the weird Anonymous who has a previous kidnapping record will do.

On the other hand, if she is paralyzed, she will be anonymous in disguise, and Mr. Amuro chooses to hand her over to the police... These mysterious organizations seem to have high requirements for "secrecy", just like the organization in black will silence and expose Members who have lost their status—no one knows if Anonymous has the same rules.If it causes a bloody storm... that's not what Conan wants to see.

In comparison, Jiang Xia should be able to fight in a more normal way.

And Jiang Xia has a little connection with those two people: Needless to say, Amuro Toru, at least they have something in common.

As for the Anonymous who will change her appearance, her attitude towards Jiang Xia is also very strange.

...Maybe the two of them can end up peacefully for Jiang Xia's sake.

Conan nodded secretly, then turned and walked towards the children chattering around Hideo Matsui, silently praying for world peace.

……

Toru Amuro and Belmode walked quickly, and Jiang Xia was delayed for a while because of the sudden appearance of producer Kamei.

When he entered the corridor from the studio, he could no longer see the figure of Brother Transparent.

Fortunately, his ghost is still hanging on the two of them, and they can be found everywhere...

Jiang Xia sensed the location, and quickly walked through the corridor and into the stairwell.

After going down a few floors, he walked towards an empty office with a clear goal.

When he came to the door, Jiang Xia didn't look around immediately, but first checked the situation of the two people in the office from the perspective of a ghost.

I saw that the items in the room were scattered and messy, a table had been knocked over, and Belmode's disguise was gone, revealing his true face - there seemed to be a simple conflict between the two bottles of wine, but it quickly subsided.

... Judging from the current situation, it seems that fake wine and watered wine have reached a certain consensus in a short period of time.

According to Jiang Xia's observation, the murderous aura on Toru Amuro has almost disappeared.On the contrary, Belmode's murderous aura has increased a lot... Judging from this result, it seems that the counterfeit is the one who suffers.

A group of ghosts were immersed in the murderous aroma one after another, unable to extricate themselves.

Sensing Jiang Xia's approach, Wu Tiangou temporarily stopped the action of gathering murderous aura, floated back and gave Jiang Xia the mass of murderous aura in his hand, and briefly told him what happened just now.

Before coming here, Jiang Xia had actually expected it.

Listening to Wu Tiangou's retelling now, I found that it was Belmode who was caught by Bourbon.

——Toru Amuro actually found out the relationship between her and the boss of the organization, and threatened Belmode with this. If he pretended to be him and wandered around again, he would reveal the secret to the public.Also, if Belmode attempts to silence Bourbon, the secret will be sent automatically.

Even if that secret is revealed, it won't be fatal for a short time, but it will have a lot of influence on Belmode after all.

Belmode weighed the respective weights of "killing Bourbon" and "secret exposure" very unhappily, and thinking that Bourbon is actually not that easy to kill, he finally put down his gun and temporarily decided to live in peace with Toru Amuro.

No wonder Belmode's murderous aura is so abundant. ... Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at her again from the perspective of a ghost.

Then I thought with relief, although the boss usually looks at it and is not doing his job properly, but he actually let him sniff out a lot of useful information.

After observing for a while in the corridor near the door, Jiang Xia felt that there was nothing to pay attention to, so Jiang Xia continued to move forward.

——Two Toru Amuro popped up suddenly, he'd better follow along to see what's going on.

Jiang Xia's footsteps were very light, and before the two people in the room noticed the movement, she had silently appeared at the door.

Then he glanced at Belmode, who had been torn off and revealed his true face, and said with a slight frown, "It turned out to be you. I felt something was wrong last time."

"...Last time?"

Amuro Toru's already softened eyes became sharp again.

...It seems that Belmode has pretended to be him more than once.Is this because she is interested in Jiang Xia and is getting close to Jiang Xia, or is there some other purpose hidden behind it?

For example, Belmode may have pretended to be "Amuro Toru" many times and wandered around Tokyo, planning to wait for Bourbon's acquaintances to come to him, but two of them happened to meet Jiang Xia...

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help thinking of his group of subordinates who sometimes seemed not very witty.

In case Belmode encountered them...

Amuro Toru's heart shuddered, and he thought that he had to investigate and confirm this matter as soon as possible.

And before the results are obtained, it is necessary to avoid direct contact with the organization to prevent them from discovering that Bourbon is an undercover agent, and setting up a targeted trap for this, and in turn extracting information from the public security from him.

In addition, when Belmode is not present, Jiang Xia will have to ask him about the details of his two contact with Belmode.

As for now, of course not right now—if asking, Belmode, who was listening, gave out bad information, it would be too troublesome.

At the same time, Belmode felt the same tension when he heard this topic.

——The last time she appeared pretending to be Toru Amuro, she came into contact with Jiang Xia and the Boy Detective Team;
This time, the people they came into contact with were Jiang Xia and the Boy Detective Team again.

... For an intelligence officer of Bourbon's level, it is impossible for him to ignore the children who appeared twice, and among those children, Conan of unknown origin is included, that is Kudo Shinichi who was shrunk by APTX4869.

A series of thoughts flashed like sparks, Belmode's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts subtly coincided with Toru Amuro's.

——Jiang Xia's narration must be interrupted, and he cannot be allowed to tell the details of the "last time"!
