Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 585 Why did you cheat again
Qianjian Jiangdai looked at "Jiang Xia" who was the co-pilot, startled for a moment, and recognized that this was a colleague.

Then he said with a smile: "It seems that I didn't need to say it just now, you will also go to the Twilight Villa...Young man, come and help me carry my luggage."

Kidd: "...?"

... The old lady has a young guy ready in her car, why should she drag him to carry the luggage?

Could it be that the natural scroll is one of her distant juniors, whom Qianjian's mother-in-law favored as her grandson? ... Hmph, doting is not worth it.

Kidd slandered Qianjian Detective's education methods, while silently getting out of the car under different treatment, resignedly removed the luggage from Felt, and stuffed it into Amuro Toru's car.

Toru Amuro also came back to his senses and got out of the car.

He glanced at Granny Qianjian's exquisite and compact suitcase, then looked at Jiang Xia who was driving the puppet, and asked casually, "Where's your luggage?"

"I forgot to bring it." The curly-haired young man, that is, Jiang Xia who was wearing a vest, said casually, "Since we are going to the annex, the master should help prepare the necessary supplies."

"..." Toru Amuro fell silent for a moment.

The voice is so similar, could it be a relative of Matsuda?The timbre is indeed related to genetics, as well as this natural curly hair and many details of facial features...

Next to her, Granny Qianjian nodded approvingly when she saw that her suitcase was carefully arranged.

Then she opened the door very familiarly and sat in the back seat of the car.

Jiang Xia also walked to the other side and sat down.

Amuro glanced at him, and returned to the car with Kidd who was disguised as Jiang Xia.

Soon, the vehicle began to drive towards the Twilight Villa following the instructions of Grandma Qianjian.

……

Toru Amuro did know about the easy chair detective, Granny Senken.I didn't recognize him at first, but after chatting a few words, I matched the name with the person.

After a few polite words with his colleagues, he inadvertently changed the topic to something he cared more about.

Toru Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia from the rearview mirror, and asked in a natural tone: "You seem to have a Tokyo accent when you speak, are you also from Tokyo?"

Jiang Xia looked away from the window and nodded.

"..." This quiet personality doesn't quite resemble Matsuda's. Toru Amuro continued chatting, "There are no sights worth seeing around here. Are you here to visit relatives? Or have you received a commission?"

"Oh? Haven't you received the invitation letter? There is also a check for 200 million yen. Some of my friends—several famous detectives have received it." Qianjian Jiangdai's old voice came, "Before I saw the report about Jiang Xia solving the case in Hyogo County, and I found him in the car just now, so I thought you must also be here for the appointment."

As she spoke, she rummaged through her handbag for a while and found an invitation letter.Pass it forward through the gap between the driver's seat and the co-pilot.

"Jiang Xia" on the co-pilot took it and opened it to check.

Toru Amuro followed suit.

This invitation letter is black and white, and it looks very ominous, like an invitation from the god of death.

Compared to the packaging, the content is somewhat normal—the recipient is invited to the Twilight Annex for a dinner party.

However, there is obviously something worth noting.

"The Phantom Child Abandoned by God..." Toru Amuro noticed the lengthy signature of the middle school student for the first time. After a moment of silence, he thought about it, "Kidd?"

"Jiang Xia" next to her was suddenly named, and stretched out the letter paper uncomfortably.

...I didn't expect this unscrupulous boss to solve the mystery quite quickly.Before, he thought that Toru Amuro was the kind of scumbag capitalist who had no ability and had to rely on squeezing Jiang Xia to improve his reputation.

……

Kidd had actually seen this kind of invitation long ago.

Although the sender's signature was him, it was not actually sent by him, but someone was pretending to be in his name to summon detectives.

This is also the reason why Kidd wanted Yi Rong to mix in and check the specific situation.

Kidd pretended to read the letter, refolded the letter paper, and handed it back to Qianjian Jiangdai in the back seat.

Then he shook his head: "We were on a business trip recently, so we didn't pay attention to the office's mailbox."

"Really." Granny Qianjian put away the invitation letter and smiled, "It's already here, why don't you stay in the Twilight Villa for one night, there is a famous detective like Jiang Xia, the owner there will definitely not mind too much Add two guests."

Toru Amuro nodded thoughtfully: "This time all the invited are detectives?"

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Xia who was wearing Matsuda leather in the back seat again: "I've been too busy recently and haven't paid much attention to the news of the detective world... Is this the latest rookie?"

"Kurosawa is not a detective, he came with me." Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't intend to introduce himself, Qianjian Jiangdai only mentioned the name Jiang Xia told her, and didn't say much else, "It seems that we are coming soon .” She pointed out the window, “I’m not wrong. It’s not far away.”

"..." Kurosawa?
This surname that I heard occasionally reminded Amuro of someone he knew - a busy silver long and straight figure flashed in his mind, and his mood -1 followed.

At the same time, I feel that this is inconsistent with my speculation: the person in my car who has something to do with Matsuda from his face, to the style of his clothes, to his appearance...isn't his surname Matsuda?
Also, relatives may not have the same surname.

And if it's the person who came back from the dead, it would be more normal to use a pseudonym... Wait, what are you thinking.It is impossible for such a thing to come back from the dead. If you have any fantasies about it, it is better to think about feigning death...

The vehicle quickly passed a bridge.

While thinking, Amuro raised his head and looked diagonally upward through the car window.

The road ahead is winding, and at the end stands a large building.There were dark clouds above the head, there was faint thunder and lightning, and the dim light came out from the window of the Twilight Pavilion, which failed to bring light and warmth, but looked like monster eyes protruding from the cracks.

……

At dusk, the gate of the courtyard is wide open.

Through the sparse and unrepaired fences, you can see the flat open-air parking lot in the courtyard.

Someone had already arrived first, and at this moment, at a glance, the parking lot was full of luxury cars.

Toru Amuro also quickly found a place and parked.

After the car came to a complete stop, Jiang Xia and Grandma Qianjian opened the door and got out of the car.

Kidd, who was wearing Jiang Xiapi, consciously went over and helped Qianjian Jiangdai carry her luggage down.

As soon as the suitcase was put away, the driver's door slammed.

Kidd was stunned, straightened up and looked over, and saw Toru Amuro came down too—the unscrupulous boss had already locked the car door as if nothing had happened, as if planning to go to the other hotel for a banquet with Grandma Qianjian and the others .

Kidd: "...?"

He remembered that just now, when Grandma Qianjian said she wanted to take a ride, Toru Amuro seemed very reluctant.From Kidd's point of view, with Toru Amuro concentrating on assassinating Jiang Xia, he might not be willing to stay in the crowded annex, not to mention that there are a bunch of detectives in the annex.

So Kidd has hidden tools in his hands, and he can damage the car at any time.

did not expect……
