Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 541 Am I A Prophet?
After half an hour.

Jiang Xia was flooded with strange experiences.After finishing the entrustment negotiation, he opened Mrs. Hu Cang's bedroom door in a daze.

Then he caught a Suzuki Sonoko who was eavesdropping on the bedroom door.

Suzuki Sonoko waved his arms and stood up straight again with an awkward smile: "Well, I, let me ask you if you drink tea, the rosemary that Mr. Tiansuo made is very delicious!"

...Although she tried her best to listen, the door was made of thick material and surrounded by rubber door seals, and Sonoko Suzuki couldn't hear anything clearly.I only vaguely felt Toru Amuro talking inside, and there was no strange movement in the room.

Etsuko Hukura glanced at her, tilted her head uncomfortably, and wrapped her shawl.

……

The four of them walked downstairs with their own thoughts.

Jiang Xia was walking on the steps leading to the first floor, when his gaze suddenly moved, he noticed that there were more people in the crowd...

A fresh shikigami.

Jiang Xia: "..."

...Before, when he heard that this villa was related to vampires, he once thought that if there were vampire fetuses in the villa, then his air force puppet would have a replacement outfit, and he could drive the fog tengu in winter and the vampire in summer—the fog tengu The pair of big fluffy wings and the thick and simple shape look strangely hot in summer.And the vampire's wings are quite smooth, looking very cool...

However, it turned out that he thought too much.

"..."

Forget it, anyway, the flying unit already has Wutiangou, and the puppet can't feel the heat, at most it can warm up the people who see him psychologically.

Jiang Xia quickly figured it out and returned to a state of peace of mind.

He sat on the sofa next to the tea table, took the new tea from Toshiya Tasuo, and joined the poker queue.

As long as Mao Lilan is not around, good cards will basically go to him.

All in all, in Jiang Xia's opinion, playing cards is a good recreational activity that soothes the mood.

……

Winning in the middle of the night, facing Jiang Xia, Yumei Guntian, who was a little more determined to win, couldn't sit still at first.

She pressed a bunch of bad cards, and at the same time took off a stack of punishment notes attached to her head, and glanced at her watch nonchalantly: "It's 12 o'clock, get ready to sleep. I have work to do tomorrow."

Except Suzuki Sonoko, who was not paying attention to the cards, the others also took advantage of the chaos and threw the cards into the pile, took off the note, stood up and echoed: "Indeed, going to bed too late is not good for your health."

Suzuki Ayako collected the cards and wanted to ask Toshiya Tasho where these cards should be placed.

Turning around, he found that Tian Suo had been dialing the number beside the landline. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have dialed several times.

Toru Amuro also noticed the situation, he suddenly smelled something abnormal from this movement: "What's wrong?"

Tiansuo Junzai put down the receiver suspiciously: "At this time, the teacher usually orders supper. But today he hasn't called, and he didn't answer when I called..."

Editor-in-Chief Doi frowned: "Maybe he fell asleep right away after drinking. He fell into a deep sleep after drinking... Let's go and have a look."

Hidekazu Hamura pushed his pince-nez: "Is this okay? If he rushes over and disturbs his writing thoughts, he will scold people."

Editor-in-Chief Doi shook his head: "I remember that because of those collections, there was no heating equipment in the study, and that room happened to be in the air. In today's extreme weather, I don't care about the possibility of accidents. Let's go and have a look."

Toshiya Toshiya hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Jiang Xia watched several people enter the corridor.

Then he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

I just warmed my hands with cups for a while, when there was a faint noise in the corridor connecting to the study, it seemed that a few people were talking in a low voice, followed by more and more heavy knocks on the door.

As an apparently on-the-job detective, Jiang Xia got up vigilantly and walked over to check the situation.

Toru Amuro, Sonoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki also followed quickly.

Guntian Ikumi was already planning to rest, but at this moment she stopped going upstairs, looked back, and smelled a strange smell.

So he walked back and joined the team.

……

Soon, everyone walked through the corridor and gathered at the door of the study.

The thick soundproof door makes a muffled sound when clapped, which is very textured.

However, after knocking for a long time, no one came to answer the door.

"...Maybe he fell asleep after being drunk."

Etsuko Hukura recalled the structure of the study, and pointed to a door next to it: "Opposite the door of the study, there is a floor-to-ceiling window that can be opened. It is next to the cliff, and no one can go up, so it is usually not locked... Go around the balcony and call him."

Jiang Xia nodded, and pushed open the side door.

Daisuke Torakura's study is an octagonal room that protrudes separately and is built on the cliff. With the corridor, it is shaped like an octagonal lollipop connected to the living room by a stick.

The door on the side just leads to the open-air balcony surrounding the study.

As soon as the door was opened, the cold wind and snow swept in.Looking down, the circular balcony is covered with snow, the snow is flat, and there are no footprints on it.

However, after walking along the circular balcony to the side of the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the door of the study, a group of people were slightly taken aback.

——The floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open, there were messy footprints stepped on in front of the windows, the wind whistled into the room, and the scarlet curtains fluttered, giving people a bad feeling that "something happened" for no reason.

Amuro Toru's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward quickly.

He ran to the window and looked into the room through the open floor-to-ceiling windows, his pupils suddenly dilated—the study room was pitch black, and the only light was the old projector.

The old machine made a slight noise when it was running, and it was dragged to the door by someone. The cone-shaped light emitted from the port was no longer facing the movie screen at this time, but changed its direction, illuminating the corner by the wall. A cross used to burn vampires.

The old spots flickered, and in the treacherous light, one could see a man with his arms outstretched and tied to a blood-stained cross, like a stuffed vampire waiting to be burned—Daisuke Hukura's eyes were wide open, and a knife was deeply embedded in his heart. Judging from the sinking depth of the wooden nail, the person is undoubtedly dead.

"..."

Amuro looked at the corpse and fell silent for a moment.

The others realized something was wrong from his reaction, hurried over and looked into the room.

Immediately afterwards, there were screams one after another among the group of people.

Toru Amuro backed away silently.

While other people's attention was focused on that horrible corpse, he silently took out the dice in his pocket, looked it over and over, and even took a flashlight to light it.

... No matter how you look at it, there is no problem, it is just an ordinary dice, and it has not been tampered with.

The road he and Jiang Xia took when traveling was indeed a random road, and they met random acquaintances.

... Could it really be a matter of the event's physique?
