Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 546 Belmode: Jiang Xia lost contact?

Although there was a murder case, the murderer was not the kind of random murderer. A group of people slept peacefully in the guest room.

When he woke up the next day, Toshiya Tasho didn't take the opportunity to escape when he was clearly unattended. Instead, he stayed in the villa, cooked breakfast for the whole room, and waited calmly for the arrival of the police.

After the news that "the road has been repaired and the police will arrive soon" came through the phone, everyone in the house breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting rid of the state of being trapped in the haunted house, their minds became a little more relaxed, and some people's minds became active.

……

Jiang Xia went to the bathroom to sign Shikigami, and was stopped by editor-in-chief Doi on the way back.

The middle-aged man with a tall hairline wiped his sweat and looked around.

He failed to find Toru Amuro, who was hiding in a corner and suspiciously eavesdropping, thinking that there was no one around, so he began to report to Jiang Xia's own publishing house.

"Jiang Xia...Mr. Xiao." Doi always felt that facing this face, and at his age, it was a bit difficult to call Mr. directly, "Well, have you considered writing a book part-time? For example, based on the cases you have experienced. , adapted into unit stories one by one, and serialized in our magazine."

Jiang Xia thought about it, and felt that there were not too many events related to the novelist, and writing a book would take up a lot of time.If you have the time, why not get to know a few more novelists directly...

So I declined, "I have never written anything similar, and I don't have any creative talent, so forget it."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to write." Editor-in-Chief Doi would be wrong, feeling hopeful, so he whispered in a low voice, "Actually, I know a few suitable ghostwriters, as long as you are willing to publish the novel under your own name and make a little contribution. publicity……"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Ghostwriting...

He suspected that the editor-in-chief wanted to murder him, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

Editor-in-Chief Doi would like to say something else.

But halfway through the conversation, he suddenly felt a chill with an extremely strong presence.

He shivered, looked at Jiang Xia after a daze, and saw that Jiang Xia was looking at him carefully, as if trying to find something from him.

During the few seconds when Editor-in-Chief Doi didn't dare to move, the young detective sized him up and down several times with sharp and expectant eyes.

Then left disappointed.

Editor-in-Chief Doi who was left in place: "...?"

Although I don't know what happened, but... it seems that the persuasion failed?

……Ugh.

……

After a while, the police finally came to the villa along the clear road.

After the body and Toshiya Tiansho were picked up by the police, Sonoko Suzuki sighed as he looked at the passing vehicles.

Then, not wanting to affect other people's mood, he adjusted his state as soon as possible, turned his head to the side and smiled and asked Jiang Xia: "Xiaolan and I have made an appointment for a few days to check in at the Red Maple Leaf attraction, do you want to go together!"

Jiang Xia was very moved.

But he tangled between Suzuki Sonoko and Amuro Toru for a while, and then found that the boss at this time seemed a little more suspicious than on the way to Dracula's villa before - Amuro Toru didn't seem to intend to end his relationship Observation plan.Instead, the trip will be extended.

In other words, the boss still has great potential and can continue to squeeze for a while...

And Jiang Xia always felt that if he chose to follow Toru Amuro, then he might be able to have both.

——Amuro Toru secretly threw the dice behind his back. It was really very hidden. Even if Jiang Xia wanted to see it curiously, he never managed to see it.

But the ghosts, especially Matsuda Jinpei, who was observing Toru Amuro in doubt, paid special attention to the behavior of this old classmate.

So Jiang Xia soon found out about the dice and why they kept changing their routes frequently along the way.

Judging from the current results, Toru Amuro's dice is quite miraculous - it can always guide them to the owner of the event physique.Such as Conan and Maori father and daughter, such as the sisters of the Suzuki family...even such as Rum and Curacao.

And according to Suzuki Sonoko, she is going to hang out with Mao Lilan soon.At that time, Conan will definitely be cute and follow the past... These three people get together, and it may be obvious where Toru Amuro's dice will turn.

...Of course, if the dice really doesn't know how to lift it, you can also try to use puppet clay or ghosts to make a little trick to make it turn in the desired direction.

……

Thoughts flashed in Jiang Xia's mind, and she quickly made a decision.

He looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and regretfully declined the invitation: "We still have urgent orders to deal with."

"Oh..." Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed.Coupled with the tragedy of the Tiansuo brothers and sisters last night, she didn't ask any more questions for a while, and waved to Jiang Xia listlessly, and got into the car sent by Suzuki's family to pick them up.

Jiang Xia also waved her hand, thinking to herself: See you at the scenic spots in a few days.

……

Next to him, Toru Amuro knew nothing about what happened to him and Dice next.

He declined the request to go to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters to make a statement, and briefly made a statement with Jiang Xia in the vampire villa, and then left quickly and quietly.

On the way, Toru Amuro occasionally glanced at Jiang Xia from the corner of his eye, lost in thought.

In Dracula's villa, Jiang Xia's refusal to solve the case has been given a reasonable explanation.

But those associations of Toru Amuro before have not completely dissipated in his mind.

——If Jiang Xia is not suspicious, there are too many "coincidences" around Jiang Xia, and there may even be potential motives for committing the crime.

But to say it's suspicious... there's no evidence at all.

Moreover, the closer Jiang Xia was monitored, the more innocent he felt.Because Toru Amuro was able to confirm that during this period of time, Jiang Xia did not make any moves, nor did he contact any possible "accomplices". He didn't even know anything about the route he was going to take next.

...In any case, it was still necessary to decide not to waste manpower and complete the observation schedule of Jiang Xia - there are indeed some doubts that have not been clarified.

Having said that, if you go farther, you should not meet acquaintances.At that time, there will be fewer distracting factors...

Toru Amuro secretly looked forward to it.

……

That night.

Tokyo, new clinic.

After taking a bath, Belmode finished processing the information collected by Yi Rong in the past few days, then glanced at the mobile phone next to him, and frowned.

Whenever she is free, she likes to send a few messages to Jiang Xia, trying to find out about the children she cares about. At the same time, she also hopes that Jiang Xia can get rid of her wariness as soon as possible, give herself to her, and come to her to be a child. Psychotherapy or something...

However, in the past when she sent messages to Jiang Xia, especially when she mentioned that she was going out for a party or going on a trip, Jiang Xia would occasionally reply.

But now, no matter what he said, there was only a cold automatic reply - to the effect that he was busy with something, please do not contact him.

"..." I always feel that something is wrong.
