Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 638 How can I not close the door? Ask for a monthly pass (〃)
In the shadows of the corridor.

Two pairs of eyes stared quietly at Jiang Xia's back.

Seeing Jiang Xia's expression of "So that's it!", Renzhaojiro and Sakuda Xiong looked at each other with a look of gratitude.

——Fortunately, they didn't run around with other detectives, but chose to stay and monitor Jiang Xia, a famous detective.Otherwise, Jiang Xia might have exposed everything while they were busy following the police to find clues.In that case, it will be too late.

While sighing with emotion, the two followed Jiang Xia away.

——Ren Zhaojiro and Sakuda Yu, are actors and prop masters who often cooperate.

In addition to their superficial identities, the two were also members of the "art theft group" in the news.On weekdays, they took advantage of their work to mix stolen goods into the props of the crew, transport and sell them.In this way, it escaped countless scrutiny.

The screenwriter who was killed just now had a background in writing suspense dramas. He usually collects various social cases as inspiration for writing.

A while ago, the screenwriter inadvertently discovered that a reported stolen artwork had appeared in their crew.At first, he thought it was just a similar imitation, but after checking it out, he found that the "prop" that appeared in the crew was missing, and looking through the recent video, there was no scene It's been used in a play - it doesn't seem to be their prop, but something else that got in there.

After being suspicious, the detective soul hidden in the screenwriter's heart awakened.He began to investigate the matter seriously.

However, Ren Zhaojiro and Su Tianxiong were defenseless against this.It didn't take long for the screenwriter to take a picture of them holding a few resold products and happily discussing the price.

After getting the evidence, the screenwriter hesitated for a moment and did not call the police.

Instead, he was inspired and wrote a script with a hidden mystery, intending to use this as a hint to make his acquaintances realize that the matter was exposed and turn themselves in to the police.

——In the script written by the screenwriter, the murderer is exactly that "A Zhen".The pseudonym "てい" of "Zhen" happens to be similar to the ancient writing method of "butterfly" which is the same pronunciation as "Zhao" in Ren Zhaojiro.In addition, the prototype of Madame Butterfly that appeared in the plot also used homonyms to allude to "Lian Zhaojiro".

As the screenwriter wished, the two criminals quickly realized that they had been exposed.

But then, things didn't quite go the way the screenwriters expected.

——The two did not turn themselves in, but gradually became murderous towards the screenwriter.

The screenwriter felt the killing intent from the surroundings, and after struggling, he quickly packed up his package and fled. This is the reason why he "run away from the crew".

In the second script sent just now, the screenwriter hinted that the place where he hid the memory card—the memory card was the evidence of reselling that he photographed.

By this time, the screenwriter was still thinking about his plan of "making the prisoner surrender".The memory card was left just in case—today, the screenwriter did come to the set to observe, and seeing Jiang Xia mistakenly entered the crew, he temporarily added some lines to the second episode that hinted at the location of the memory card.Time was running out, and he didn't have time to think about it, which made the lines of the riddleman "A Zhen" very abrupt.The screenwriter felt that if something happened to him, the evidence left behind might be discovered by Jiang Xia.

……

Jiang Xia did know where the memory card was located.

After he left the hotel, he quickly returned to Zhifeng University and found the filming location where the crew was when he first met the crew.

——A foreign-style building with a long history.

The crew finished filming the relevant plots here, and have already withdrawn at this time.

The mansion is not open for viewing, the doors on all sides are locked tightly, and there is no one inside.

……

The administrator of this university happens to be a fan of mystery cases, and usually collects a lot of newspaper clippings on solving cases.

Jiang Xia asked him to borrow the key, and when the other party asked "Want to help?", she refused decisively and left quickly. A qualified high school student detective should be an ironclad before the truth comes out. Hard-talking riddlers + lone rangers, this is common sense.

The administrator is getting old and can't keep up with the young people.In the time he sighed after being rejected, Jiang Xia had already left quickly.

The administrator has other jobs, and there is no excuse like "the detective asked me for help", so he can't be absent from work without authorization, so he can only watch Jiang Xia leave with regret.

……

Jiang Xia got the key, opened the door of the mansion, and entered the lobby.

Although the school's Western-style building is old, the valuable antiques inside have long been scattered around for collection.

Now what is placed inside are just some antique-style modern handicrafts.

The paintings hanging on the walls are all the same, of course.

Jiang Xia entered the hall, glanced around, and soon landed on the diagonally opposite wall.

There is a landscape painting with a greenish color, depicting a lake in summer—this is the famous scenic lake in Chitoyo University that Hattori Heiji mentioned just now.

The picture frame is a little outside, and on the wall near the top, there is a hole left after the pipe was removed, and the hole is half covered with decorative flowers.

Jiang Xia walked towards the hole.

He didn't slack off using puppet clay to pull down the things hidden inside, but after looking up for a while, like a normal person, he honestly moved a stool, raised it up, put his feet close to the hole, and carefully searched for it. .

It didn't take long for him to find a mini ziplock bag from a gap in the stone.

Picking up the bag and shaking off the earth and rocks used to cover it, you can see a black memory card in the bag-it is the evidence of Ren Zhaojiro and Yu Tianxiong stealing antiques.

Jiang Xia looked at the memory card, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, showing a smile that should be after solving a difficult problem, and jumped off the stool.

As soon as he stood firm, he suddenly felt the light behind him dim.

He was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head hastily and dangerously.

An iron rod grazed his hair with a "woo--" and made an astonishing sound of piercing through the air.After failing to hit the target, the iron rod finally slammed into the wall, smashing a large piece of wall skin, and the broken soil fell down.

Following the dodging movement, Jiang Xia took two steps back, with surprise in his eyes - he looked at the person in front of him who was wrapped in a hat and mask, as if he didn't know when the two of them had touched behind him.

At this time, the blow was missed, and the tall man in charge let out an impatient "tsk".

The shorter one, seeing Jiang Xia retreating towards the door, couldn't help panicking: "Stop him, don't let him go out!"

They didn't expect that Jiang Xia would be lucky enough to avoid this surprise attack from behind.

So the door was not locked.

After all, according to their plan, the script of the two of them was: knock Jiang Xia down with one stick, beat him to death with another stick, and then run away with the memory card - in this case, locking the door will only delay their escape.

The plan was quite smooth, but he didn't want to implement it, and got stuck in the first step.

...But it's not a big problem.

This mansion is not small, just beat people to death before Jiang Xia goes out.
