Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 392 Vodka: Brother, this dress is nice... (joint chapter)

Several plastic bullets flew out of Rob's muzzle and hit the window frame of the warehouse on the second floor.

In the warehouse, Takeda Shinichi heard a strange noise, walked to the small narrow window suspiciously, and looked out.

At this moment, Rob picked up the two passengers, stepped on the gas pedal, and started the truck.

The car left quickly, pulling the fishing line tied behind the car.A series of line mechanisms followed, and the rope loops that were stretched and fixed at the four corners of the puppet warehouse window suddenly fell off, and accurately caught the neck of Takeda Shinichi who was probing, and then tightened.

Takeda Shinichi was pulled vigorously, he flew backward in astonishment, the back of his head hit the beam of the house with a bang, and his cervical spine broke.After that, he fell powerlessly, first smashed into countless fishing lines that had been glued to the roof in advance, and then continued to fall under the weight of the fishing lines.

In the end, he was suspended in the room in a strange posture like an insect stuck to a spider web.

The mountain wind swept across the courtyard, and the roar of the truck that had just started overwhelmed the sound of death in the warehouse for just a few seconds.

No one saw this smooth and shocking scene.

——Except for the two pairs of secretly observing eyes on the opposite mountain peak.

……

In the watchtower in the forest.

As Shinichi Takeda's corpse stopped shaking, Gin looked away from behind the high-powered scope.

He and vodka came here before dark.

The gun placed by the window was one of the assassination plans chosen by Gin Jiu.

His original plan was to first have people destroy Takeda Shinichi's client list, remove those puppets containing drugs, shoot Takeda Shinichi to death, and finally retreat calmly.

——The mountains are sparsely populated, and the police cannot arrive quickly.By the time they locked the watchtower according to the trajectory, he and his subordinates might have returned to the city.

Later, as long as those peripheral members responsible for destroying lists and transporting drugs pay more attention, there will be no problem.

If those wastes are exposed, at worst, they will be wiped out again.

Now though, as Uzo seems to have other plans.Therefore, the prop in Gin Jiu's hand, which was originally used to silence people, actually functions as a telescope more often.

After arriving at the watchtower in the forest, Gin not only aimed at Takeda Shinichi, but also occasionally watched Uzo's movements, and observed the surrounding situation by the way.

Therefore, the action of Rob hitting the window of the warehouse on the second floor with an air gun just now by the lights in the courtyard was also captured by Gin Jiu.

Combined with the appearance of Takeda Shinichi whose neck was broken by the huge force as the truck started, it is not difficult to deduce the whole picture of this murder method.

Through the window of the warehouse, Gin looked at Shinichi Takeda, who was entangled in the air by countless silk threads, and he remembered his previous evaluation of Uzo's assassination method again.

--Art.

When Takeda Shinichi entered, he should have locked the warehouse door by himself.And the only window in the warehouse on the second floor was so narrow that no one could get in or out. It suddenly became a secret room engraved with traces of legends everywhere, enough to attract the full attention of those stupid policemen.

...Compared with the plan of "killing Shinichi Takeda with one shot", Uzo's handling method is indeed more convenient for dealing with the aftermath.

Coupled with this kind of dramatic viewing, it is indeed a "surprise" as he said before.

Moreover, Gin found that, judging from the appearance of the foreigner who was full of defense against Uzo and deliberately avoided him when he committed the crime, in the eyes of the murderer, Uzo was still the famous detective who opposed the criminal.

Combining what happened this time, and Uzo's performance on the train last night.It can be seen that after having a suitable goal, Uzo's assassination level has returned to the normal range, and there is no such mistake as in the previous mountain road racing, directly contacting the undetermined dead, or even becoming the cause of death of the other party.

...problem seems to be perfectly solved.

It seems that there is no need to hand over people to Belmode for the time being.

However, you can find an opportunity for the two sides to contact each other and observe Belmode's purpose.Also have to avoid those annoying fbi.

Gin skillfully disassembled the sniper rifle and put it back into the bag.

While Gin was evaluating and dismantling the gun.

Beside, Vodka also put down the high-powered telescope in his hand.

The scenery zoomed in by the lens returned to normal in an instant.

Vodka looked at the lighted courtyard of the Takeda family in the distance.There was a peaceful courtyard in front of him, but the scene of Takeda Shinichi's death replayed in his heart one after another.

——When the car drove out, Takeda Shinichi, who was looking around in the warehouse, was wrapped around his neck by a hidden rope, dragged away, fell, and hung on the "spider web" that had been arranged long ago...Death is only a moment.

From such a distance, Vodka couldn't see the fishing line clearly, but he could see Takeda Shinichi's terrifying posture as if he was stuck in mid-air.

"...I remember this area, there seems to be a legend of 'Spider-sama'." Vodka put down the binoculars a little stiffly, touched his neck, as if he heard the sound of Takeda Shinichi's cervical spine breaking in the air.

He murmured: "He still likes propositional composition so much..."

Gin glanced at the vodka, lit his cigarette, and snorted coldly: "I thought you were going to say something stupid like 'the time is too short, did he really do this'?"

Vodka: "..." No, no matter how you look at it this time, it looks like Uzo's style, especially those fishing lines, which are exactly as he thought!
He couldn't help touching his neck again.

At the same time, Vodka's eyes fell on Gin's stand-up collar trench coat and the layered high collar inside.

Looking at his brother's attire, and feeling his shirt with a short collar, Vodka silently decided to go back and change into a set of the same style as his brother's... Well, when the time comes to secretly stuff a neck guard in the collar, no one should be able to find out.

After thinking about the new equipment, Vodka regained a sense of security.

At the same time, he remembered what happened just now.

— Uzo got into the murderer's car.

"Brother, did he leave just like that?"

Qin Jiu put on the bag with the sniper rifle, looked out the window at the dark mountain road, and didn't care: "He has his own ideas."

Uzo's mind is not easy to guess, but it is not difficult to find out the general direction.

It is nothing more than feeling that it is too troublesome to search people all over the mountain, and he does not want the murderer to take the opportunity to abscond; or there is still some excitement after finishing his art, so he wants to drag the murderer to a place where no one is around and beat him up...Of course, think of the good , or it may be to cooperate with the organization's next actions——

Gin took out the satellite phone, pressed the button, and got through the logistics lent to him by the Tottori branch, and said briefly: "It's ok."

They don't care about the scene of the crime, so the foreigner is naturally responsible.They just need to take Takeda's list and those drugged golems.

It took a lot of manpower to transport these away, and now that Uzo left with the foreigner and the young girl, he had an alibi.

... an alibi.

Gin was quite unfamiliar with this word before.He never had to find such things for himself.

I didn't expect to be in frequent contact now.

Thinking about it this way, it's actually quite interesting: the detective who stands within the framework of the rules has already secretly extended his thread beyond the law, but the stupid police can't see those cobwebs stained with blood and despair... the art of irony.

The only thing left is Moonshadow Island.

I don't know if Wu Zuo has any surprises or surprises over there... Tsk, when you put him off the car at noon, you should ask him first.

Gin glanced at the list on the pocketbook, feeling a little complicated.

……

Vodka usually has no murderous intent, and for Jiang Xia, he is a very difficult person to observe.

Although the murderous aura on Qin Jiu's body is obvious, once it exceeds a certain distance, neither Jiang Xia nor Gui can perceive it.

So Jiang Xia failed to find the two secretly observing lines of sight.

But when the truck left, he still looked around secretly.

He remembered getting out of the car at noon and Gin had said they'd be 'coming later'.If the vehicle the two men in black were riding in hadn't had a flat tire on the way...then they should be nearby by now.

It just didn't show up for some reason.

Jiang Xia looked around casually, but didn't find the two colleagues, so she turned her gaze away and stopped looking.Gin may have his own ideas...

……

The truck drove for nearly an hour.

A crowded but orderly cemetery gradually appeared in front of him.The white tombstones were close together. Meisha had just died for three years, so the location was not in the depths, so it was very conspicuous.

Looking at the photo on the tombstone, Rob felt that there should be a howl here, but remembering that there was a detective standing beside him, he suppressed his tears again.He can't show too strong emotion for Meisha, otherwise it is easy for these big-minded detectives to think that he is taking revenge.Fortunately, this is not the first time he has come here. He came here a few days ago, and his suppressed feelings have just been vented, which is easy to control.

Jiang Xia stopped for a short while beside the locked car.

Then he walked to the side of the cemetery.Just listen to Rob pointing to a small mountain bag like a tour guide, and introduce to Yuanshan and Ye:
"It's the best place to observe stars in this area. I heard that some people have discovered new comets there. There are relatively few people in this season. If it is two months later, it may be so crowded that there is no room for an instrument."

"Wow~!" Yuan Shan and Ye were a little moved, and they all came, "Let's go up and have a look."

Jiang Xia is not interested in looking at the stars, but Rob's introduction just now makes him feel a little familiar.

He nodded, climbed over the fence with the two of them, stepped on the dirt and rocks, and walked towards the small hill.

When approaching the foot of the mountain, Yuan Shan and Ye stepped on something and slipped.

Jiang Xia gave her a hand.Yuan Shan and Ye Hou jumped twice in fear, took a photo with the mobile phone used for lighting, and whispered: "What is it?"

The aperture hits the feet.

Take a round and smooth skull.

Yuan Shanhe Ye: "..."

"........."

"what--!!!"

A shrill scream sounded, piercing the night sky and drifting far away.

Jiang Xia pressed his ears, and touched his eyes with this action, randomly picked one from his own ghosts, and borrowed its night vision ability.

In his eyes, the dark forest instantly became clear.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Xia saw a few low flashlights swaying and approaching—people nearby heard the screams and ran over quickly.

There were four children and one adult who came, and they were the young detectives who were attracted by the screams, and they brought Dr. A Li.

……Um?

Boy detectives?
……

The children ran very fast, and Dr. A Li also strode forward vigorously, wanting to see why there were girls screaming at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night.

Yuan Shan and Ye Gang stepped on someone else's head, and now they saw someone approaching again, they were startled, and shook their flashlights to shine the light.

After a period of chaos, the two sides finally saw each other clearly.

Rob, Yuan Shan and Ye had never seen the Detective Boys, and they were a little dazed.

The child who recognized Jiang Xia froze in place.

Jiang Xia looked around and found that he seemed to be the intersection of the two sides.

He looked down at the children: "...Why are you here?"

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta didn't say anything, and they didn't know what to say for a while—the flashlights on both sides flickered at the same time, illuminating a large area around them, so they also saw scattered human skulls on the ground , and other parts of the bones.

It's scary enough to have skeletons, but there is brother Jiang Xia... The three children fell into autism for a short time.

Hui Yuanai also saw human remains on the ground.She swept her eyes and recognized each part more accurately than children—mandible, upper wrist, femur, ribs...

Wild countryside.

Jiangxia.

Scattered bones.

"..."

Combining several key words, Hui Yuanai stopped breathing, and suddenly thought, could this be related to some of Jiang Xia's tasks?
but……

She looked at the two people who obviously came with Jiang Xia.It's hard to say about the foreign man, but the high school girl next to her doesn't look like a member of the organization at all. The scream just now should also be from her.

...With Jiang Xia's prudence, if this messy person on the ground is really related to him, he will not let the scene become the current situation where everyone is watching.

So this should be just a coincidence—it is probably just that Jiang Xia went out to relax like before, but accidentally encountered a murder case.

Thinking of this, Hui Yuanai secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little more at ease.

Seeing that the other children did not speak, she answered Jiang Xia's question just now:
"The doctor's friend gave him a set of magazines, which contain astronomy content. The children...cough, we are very interested in this. It happened that the doctor was free today, so we came to play together." Remembering that there was a stranger next to him, Haibara Ai reluctantly puts herself in the category of "children".

"..." After Jiang Xia listened silently, she turned to Dr. A Li, and said nonchalantly, "When I asked a few days ago, didn't you say that you have no travel plans recently?"

Dr. A Li vaguely felt a bit of condemnation in the neighbor's words.

He rubbed the back of his head with inexplicable guilt: "Come here was suddenly decided the day before yesterday. Because at that time I heard that you had received a commission, the child said that he didn't want to disturb your work-it's rare that they are so sensible, so I didn't go to you."

Dr. Ali felt that this is a behavior that needs to be encouraged.Maybe this can help children develop the good habit of "not disturbing other people's work".

When Jiang Xia asked, three small hands tremblingly stretched out towards Dr. Ali, as if trying to stop something.

But obviously, there was no time.

Hearing this, Jiang Xia looked thoughtfully at the three "considerate" children: "So that's how it is."
