Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 498 The Owner of the Event Physique
After temporarily settling down, Jiang Xia walked over and closed the door.

He glanced back at the many murderous spirits locked in the house, and felt that this simple hut had become very livable.

Mao Lilan was still thinking about calling the police.

There was no signal on the mobile phone, so she walked to the landline in the cabin.

But soon, Mao Lilan's anxious voice sounded: "I can't get through the phone."

"Thunderstorms are often like this." The manager snorted, "You shouldn't climb the mountain during thunderstorms."

Etsuko Hukura sat at the table, quietly looking at the thunderstorm outside the window, and said in an ethereal tone, "After dark, the mountain will be very dangerous, coupled with slippery rain, lightning that may strike at any time, and there is no other rest nearby Station... This is the Blizzard Villa model. After I go back, I may be able to write a new book soon."

The man in the couple wrings his wet hat anxiously:

"You still care about reading? Now there is a murderer hiding in the mountain who is forcing people to jump off the cliff. Who knows if the prisoner will suddenly break in in the middle of the night, and then we will have another dead person!"

Jiang Xia folded his arms and leaned against the door. Hearing this, he corrected him rigorously: "That college student is not dead, so the word 'zai' is useless."

The lover man was stunned and said angrily: "That's not the point! The point is the prisoner who is still active!"

"Okay, let's eat first." The administrator brought a pot of hot water with a few packs of instant curry in it, "Don't look at the broken house, the doors and windows are actually very strong."

"..."

It rained suddenly while climbing the mountain, and there was almost a murder case. A group of drowned chickens were not in the mood to eat at this time.

But really hungry...

So in the end, they all sat down around the dining table.

Jiang Xia washed her hands, poured the slightly hot curry on the rice, and took a spoonful.

Just as he pulled off the mask, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "I've seen you."

"?"

Jiang Xia turned her head and saw the smiling face of Etsuko Torakura.

"You are Jiang Xia, right? That young detective who solves the case quickly." Etsuko Hukura stirred the curry on her plate, "Not long ago I wanted to go to Tokyo to find you, but I just happened to meet..."

The tip of Mao Lilan's ears moved, and entries like "abandoned by her lover to chase her husband thousands of miles away" appeared in her mind instantly, with a shocked expression on her face - she was dragged by Suzuki Sonoko to watch a lot of dog blood soap operas together recently.

However, when she turned her head and saw Jiang Xia's puzzled expression, Mao Lilan suppressed this thought with a little guilt.

...Compared to this, she thinks a more suitable entry should be "fan girl chasing stars" or the like... Ms. Hu Cang's words are too close, shouldn't she say "I want to go to Tokyo to find you" Is there a more precise statement such as release commission"?

Just as he was thinking, there was a bang beside him—a metal spoon fell to the ground.

The others were startled, followed the prestige, and saw Kyoko Mieda with a panicked face—the woman among the couple.

She stared blankly at Jiang Xia for a moment, and found that a group of people were looking at her. Then she recovered, picked up the spoon in a hurry, and ran to the sink to rinse.

The man in the couple also froze slightly. After a second or two, he lowered his head in a concealed manner and took a big mouthful of curry.

"..." Such a big reaction to Jiang Xia's name?

Conan and Toru Amuro took a long look at the couple, and thought of their two smelly bags again, secretly vigilant.

Etsuko Torakura also looked this way, and paused the topic just now.

The manager ignored this group of strange guests. He turned on the radio and, like most old people, listened to the news while eating.

A local weather program was playing on the radio, mentioning the sudden downpour.

On the way to the conversation, another piece of local news was urgently interrupted——

"This morning, a robbery and murder occurred in Danyuan Village. The 60-year-old Mr. Yan Tanaka was unfortunately killed. The suspect may have fled to the direction of Danyuan Mountain. The police are continuing to search. Please close the doors and windows and pay attention to safety."

"Dan Yuan Mountain?"

Toru Amuro was taken aback, isn't that the mountain?

…The people who came to climb the mountain today, except for some Buddhist tourists who only walk at the foot of the mountain, are all in this resting hut.

The silver fox, the suspect in the burglary...at least two people.

If they are all disguised as tourists, then add the suspicious client, Etsuko Hukura who seems to be looking for Jiang Xia for something, and two members of the black organization...

Isn't the concentration of criminals in this hut too high?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, remembering the saying of "incident physique".

Then he remembered something and turned to look at Conan.

In my impression, many times when they encountered cases, this child was actually present.Only because the sense of existence is very low, few people pay attention to it.

I also often unconsciously divert my attention from him.

...It seems that we should pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

……

Although looking at the bright side, the silver fox and the robber may not be disguised as tourists, they may also be hiding in the mountains.

But in such a dangerous place, what should be guarded against is still necessary - before going to sleep, Toru Amuro consulted with Jiang Xia in a low voice, and the two took turns to watch the night.

Toru Amuro is responsible for keeping watch in the first half of the night.

It may be that when he became serious, some indescribable temperament on his body had a strong suppressive force on criminals, and nothing happened in the first half of the night.

In the early morning, Jiang Xia got up and exchanged positions with his nominal boss.

He sat down against the wall, and his eyes swept over several beddings that were constantly showing murderous looks.

"..."

So tempting.

……

After Amuro fell asleep, Jiang Xia yawned, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and the time to open his eyes became shorter and shorter.

Finally he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

Just now when Jiang Xia was awake, she would occasionally turn her head to check, or press the phone, and the clothes would often rustle.

Now those fragmentary voices gradually died down.Soon, caring people realized something was wrong.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes opened faintly, looking towards where Jiang Xia was.

After waiting patiently for more than ten minutes, he found that there was still no movement on Jiang Xia's side, and after he seemed to be really asleep, his eyes contemplated for a moment, and suddenly revealed a little fierce light.

The speed at which Jiang Xia solved the case really frightened those who knew him.What's more, on the road just now, the detective kept observing the people around him.If this continues, his crime will be exposed sooner or later.

Why not now, while Jiang Xia is asleep...

The black figure crawled out of the quilt holding his breath.

He pulled out the knife in his boot, turned on the phone screen, and illuminated it with a faint light.Then, with the sound of the mountain wind whistling, he approached Jiang Xia silently.

Four steps, three steps, two steps...

As the distance narrowed, the black figure looked at the sleeping young man in front of him, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

He raised the knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and smiled cruelly.

Everything is going smooth.

But for some reason, when he took the last step and victory came, he always had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning passed through the window.

The light that is far more dazzling than the mobile phone screen penetrates into the room, making the surrounding scene clear for a while.

The light flashed away, but the image left on the retina made the black figure instantly understand what was wrong, and cold sweat silently drenched his back.

——The detective who was "sleeping" with his eyes closed just now, now his eyes are open and he is looking straight at him.

Jiang Xia raised her head, her eyes precisely locked on the panicked back figure.There is no trace of confusion in his eyes just after waking up, but they are extremely clear, and there is even a little hidden...

Happy?
"??!"
