Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 616

Not long after, the police received a related call.

——The gas station near the Twilight Annex, after receiving their inquiry, began to search around its own site and nearby convenience stores.

Then in an old warehouse, I found Jiang Xia who had been thrown in by unscrupulous thieves.

Toru Amuro and a group of policemen rushed there by car.

When I arrived at the place, I found that Jiang Xia was wearing someone else's coat, eating the Oden kindly provided by the lady in the convenience store. The elderly store manager passed by with a teapot and asked him kindly if he would like some hot tea.

"..."

Amuro was silent for a moment.Compared to him, the kidnapping suspect, Jiang Xia lived a very comfortable life...

However, it was thanks to Kidd's conscience - he only took off his coat, not all his clothes.Otherwise, if the clerk here suddenly sees a young man with no clothes in the warehouse, he will probably just scream in panic, thinking that a pervert has entered the store, how could he have such excellent treatment now...

Toru Amuro yawned, compared the current situation of the two sides, and felt a little bit of resentment.

……

When the police asked Jiang Xia and the people at the gas station about the situation.

A "staff" who seemed to have sensed the commotion here and came to watch the excitement took a few glances to confirm the situation, and slipped away in a low-key manner.

——This "staff" is Kidd in disguise.

Half an hour ago, Kidd heard that Konosuke Terai hadn't received Jiang Xia, and he couldn't contact Wutengu.So I changed my voice and called the police station to ask about the situation.

After discovering that Wu Tiangou didn't send Jiang Xia to the police, Kidd fell into silence with sweat on his forehead, and began to "go to the deep forest to find out if there is a famous detective hanging on a tree" and "go to a nearby gas station to see Circumstances” back and forth.

Then decisively chose the latter.

After all, the forest was too big, and he really didn't know where to look for it.

Moreover, Brother Yaokai should be very trustworthy, otherwise, Wu Tiangou would not have handed over the detective he caught with his own ability at that time.

Now, at the gas station.

Facts have proved that, regardless of the process, Kidd finally came to the correct conclusion.

——As expected, he saw Jiang Xia at the gas station.

So... Maybe Wutengu waited for Grandpa Terai to be bored, so he went shopping elsewhere alone.Then Jiang Xia woke up on the way and found herself fainted in the woods, so she tried her best to run to the warehouse of the gas station.

Afterwards, because I was temporarily safe and relaxed a little, the effect of the anesthetic came back again, so I have been sleeping until now?

"..." It feels quite reasonable.

Let's just assume that's the case.

As for the specific situation, it will probably be clear when you encounter Wu Tiangou next time you are robbed.

Thinking of this, Kidd glanced at Jiang Xia, who was surrounded by policemen and enthusiastic citizens, and then at the scumbag boss who was surrounded by policemen. He was very satisfied with this situation.

He pressed the brim of his hat to hide his achievements and fame, and left in a low-key manner.

……

Faced with police inquiries about "Is Toru Amuro a human trafficker"...

Of course Jiang Xia didn't cheat the boss.

After all, he just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible and continue on the road.

So he only said that he lost his mobile phone halfway. As for why Kidd felt that he was kidnapped, he didn't know.

Although the police are still a little skeptical, but thinking of the frequency of Jiang Xia's case-solving in the past few days in the news, and the speed with which he contacted the police, he feels that if Jiang Xia wants to ask for help, there are simply a lot of opportunities.

In addition, although Kidd has a good reputation, he is a mysterious thief after all, with many illegal records.

So it seems that Kidd’s words can’t be trusted—maybe just now Kidd secretly put the reminder note “Amuro Toru has a problem” on the other detectives, just to let the detectives focus more on Amuro Toru. so that he can escape in time.

After asking a few more words, they could only let the two of them leave first.

……

When the police left, no one was staring at him.

Toru Amuro took out his mobile phone and glanced at it openly.

I saw an unread email on my phone.

After clicking on it, judging from the email address, it was a message from Rum - the second in command of the organization.

Amuro was not surprised by this.

Before, in order to maintain the behavior that "Bourbon" should have, he had already reported the news in the Twilight Annex to Rum.

Toru Amuro clicked on the email.

I thought it was just a "good job" or something.

However, his eyes fell on it, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

It was completely different from what he thought, and what was written there turned out to be.

——[That adult already knows].

"..."

Toru Amuro subconsciously glanced at the time of receipt.

Found that Rum wrote back to him, just 1 minute after he sent the email.Rum and the boss read emails quite frequently... However, this is obviously not the current focus.

Amuro looked at the few words on the email, was shocked by the excessive amount of information, and fell silent for a moment.

Already know...

That means, before him, someone actually notified that gentleman of the news of the Twilight Villa?

The mystery of the treasure was just solved today, and there are only a few people who saw the gold...

The faces of detectives flashed through Amuro Toru's mind, as well as the maid who looked passerby, and "Matsuda", and felt that the hairs on his back were about to stand up.

... This feeling of "organizational cadres are by my side", for normal members of the organization, there will only be a feeling of being robbed of the first credit and the secret annoyance of being played by colleagues.

But for this bottle of fake bourbon, there is only horror and deep fear.

And among this group of people, who is the most suspicious...

The faces that flashed through his mind finally froze and stopped on "Kurosawa".

Amuro Toru's eyes sank slightly.

Although he had doubts about "Kurosawa" for a long time, it was just a polite doubt based on the principle of "those who cannot be confirmed as having a problem should be dealt with as having a problem first".

I didn't expect that things could come true now.

For a moment, Toru Amuro's mood was subtly synchronized with those unlucky people who "worried that the ceiling fan above their heads would fall, and then one day found that the ceiling fan really fell while spinning".

But after a while, he luckily thought that this night, he didn't actually stare at the "Jiang Xia" that Kidd pretended to be, but instead kept staring at Matsuda.

——There is no signal in the Twilight Annex, but Amuro remembers that Matsuda never used a mobile phone until the helicopter receiving the detectives arrived at the place with a signal, and until Amuro sent a message to Rum. The detective stayed up all night together, trying to catch up on sleep...

Matsuda used some means to avoid his eyes while pretending to be asleep, and sent a message to that gentleman?

Or was there actually someone else who informed the boss of these news, such as other detectives he hadn't watched much, or even the police who came to save people?
