Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 639 Victory is in sight
The two desperately swung their iron rods and chased them all the way.

However, the "detective who knows too much" who is close at hand is lucky to escape every time.

As Jiang Xia continued to approach the gate, the hearts of Ren Zhaojiro and his accomplices were already in their throats.

Just when they were ruthless and prepared to chase them outside to kill them, Jiang Xia stumbled and accidentally bumped into the half-open door.

The door clicked shut with his slam.

The only unlocked door opened inwards.

Now, the detective's way of escaping was blocked by himself, and he finally stopped in confusion.

Lian Zhaojiro was overjoyed, he didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

He snorted and swung the iron pipe vigorously.With the sound of the wind, the iron pipe hit Jiang Xia's head heavily.

Then, with a muffled bang, Jiang Xia raised her hand to hold her.

The iron rod that had just smashed a shallow hole in the wall fell into Jiang Xia's hands, like a plastic rod played by a child, and failed to affect him in any way.

This completely inconsistent situation made the two pursuers startled at the same time.Although the weapon of the other accomplice was not caught, he was originally thin and timid. Now, holding the half of the iron pipe that had not been swung down, he stopped in surprise.

The next second, the door suddenly clicked.

The two followed the sound and took a closer look, and found that for some reason, Jiang Xia suddenly locked the door.

"...?"

……

Jiang Xia took back the puppet clay on his palm as if nothing had happened.

Then, feeling the murderous intent of the two groups chasing him all the way, he turned his head in a good mood.

Soon, Ren Zhaojiro and Shi Tianxiong saw him stretching his hand into his arms, as if he wanted to take something, but suddenly thought of something on the way, gave up the action, and pulled the iron rod out of Ren Zhaojiro's hand with force come out.

"..." Lian Zhaojiro's hands were caught off guard, he felt the friction pain of the stick being pulled away abruptly, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.Without thinking about it, he instinctively grabbed his accomplice's iron rod and swung it again...

state--

"what--!!"

Before he swung down, the iron rod in Jiang Xia's hand swept over smoothly, hitting his forearm with one stick.

The water pipe in Ren Zhaojiro's hand spun out and fell with a bang.He broke out in a cold sweat from the severe pain on his forearm, and held his arm in pain.

Before he could recover from the stabbing pain, the neckline suddenly tightened.Immediately afterwards, amidst the screams of the cowardly companions nearby, Lian Zhaojiro's eyes blurred, and he was thrown onto the floor of the mansion.

"Before you do something that cannot be seen, you must first close the door." A peaceful voice came from above—their target of silence sighed softly like a teacher who encountered a stupid student, "This is common sense. "

"???"

……

Zhifeng University, next to Lovers Lake.

Hattori Heiji and a group of policemen followed the prompts in the script and searched for a place where "the monster's nose" might refer to.In addition, I also asked the janitor to borrow fishing nets, and fished the dead horses along the stones by the lake as if they were live horses.

But apart from some innocent little fish and shrimps on the Internet, I couldn't find anything else.

Hattori Heiji went to look at the bridge opening, and found a few rocks with special shapes, but they didn't find them either.

He scratched his hair with a touch of irritability, while replaying the part of the script related to "A Zhen" in his mind, while circling the lake.

As he walked, his steps gradually slowed down, and finally stopped completely.

Yuan Shanhe Ye next to him walked a few steps forward and suddenly felt that there was a person missing by his side.

She turned her head and looked suspiciously at Hattori Heiji who stopped suddenly: "What's wrong?"

"I always feel..." Hattori Heiji looked at the lake, raised his hand and gestured, "It looks familiar."

"Familiar?" Yuan Shan and Ye thought he was referring to the person on the bridge.

She squinted and looked there, and found that it was a beautiful female student, and immediately frowned unhappily: "I don't know!"

"No, I'm not saying that people look familiar." Hattori Heiji, relying on intuition and fragmented words, "It's the lake from this angle... huh?!"

He suddenly remembered, punched the hammer in the palm of his hand, and said slightly excitedly: "I see, it's the mansion where the movie was filmed just now! — There is a painting inside, which depicts the lake from this angle."

In order to fit the style of the mansion, the brushstrokes and colors of the painting tend to be exaggerated.But combined with rockery, trees and bridges, it can still be seen that its prototype is the couple lake from this angle.

"In addition, the lines of 'Ah-Jung' in the script are 'There are monsters living here in summer, but don't worry, powerful things also have weaknesses, and the weakness of this monster is the nose'——

"From here, I can't see the bridge hole, and there is no other part that looks like a nose. In addition, the season is not right. It is late autumn and the trees are withered and yellow, but the script says 'summer', that is to say, that clue It probably refers not to the lake itself, but to the mansion—the main color of the painting in the mansion is green, which is the real clue!"

Hattori Heiji reasoned quickly while speaking, and at the same time he was in a good mood because he solved the puzzle.

Solving mysteries is certainly not uncommon for a high school detective.

But when he met Jiang Xia, he successfully solved the puzzle by himself, instead of being poured by Jiang Xia with the correct answer when he was halfway through his thinking and reasoning well... He could argue with Kudo about this for a week.

"Go and see the mansion." Hattori Heiji quickly ran towards the mansion, and at the same time said to Toyama and Ye, "Go and call the police."

Yuan Shan and Ye responded, and instinctively took out the phone.

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly remembered that there was a bunch of policemen next to me.She just pressed two "1"s and her fingers froze.

Then he exited the call interface as if nothing happened, and trotted to find the police who were salvaging physical evidence by the lake.

……

Hattori Heiji ran halfway, and suddenly remembered that the door of the mansion was locked—when he left the haunted house just now, he saw that the crew had finished filming.When the crew left with the equipment, the janitor locked the door.

So he turned his feet and went to find the janitor on the way first, wanting to borrow the key of the mansion.

——In the mansion, there are hidden clues left by the dead.If you find it, you should be able to solve the murder case and find out the bigger case hidden behind the murder case.

However, the matter of borrowing the key did not go well.

"The key has been borrowed."

The administrator took a sip of tea cheerfully: "Jiang Xia came here just now—by the way, you know Jiang Xia, the famous high school student detective."

As he said that, he wanted to take out his collection of case clippings to popularize science for this seemingly reckless high school student.

But on the way, the administrator suddenly remembered something, he stared at Hattori Heiji for a moment, and suddenly started flipping through the newspaper clippings: "Hey, your color looks familiar, you can't be..."

He raised his head as he spoke, then paused.

——The high school student detective in Osaka didn't listen to him at all, and had already run away quickly at this time.
