Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 683 Are You Here To Deliver Food?
Mao Lilan opened the guest book and turned to the last page.

Write carefully according to what the assistant on the mountain told them just now.

"Suzuki Sonoko" enjoyed this kind of time spent with Mao Lilan like a girlfriend, and reminded her: "There is also ホヅミ, please note his name."

[There is also ホヅミ]... Mao Lilan read it like taking notes, and subconsciously followed her words while writing. He heard "Suzuki Sonoko" laughed and realized that he had made a mistake.She paused at the tip of her pen and crossed out the word "and" pretending nothing happened.

Then put down the pen, picked up the notebook and looked at it for a while, happily said: "It's done!"

A few meters away, a figure was hiding in the corner of the wall, watching the scene faintly, revealing a sneer.

"Suzuki Sonoko" suddenly glanced this way, and there was a hint of impatient threat in the original clear almond eyes.

The black shadow was startled, and instinctively shrank back behind the pillar.

Tens of seconds later, Mianjian Chensan, who had failed in peeping, gradually came back to his senses, scratched his mottled gray hair at the temples, and felt that he was sleepy, so he felt that a high school girl had sharp eyes.

When he poked his head out again in doubt, the two female high school students had finished writing, put down their guestbooks, and went to pick up maple leaves next to the hotel, talking and laughing.

Mianguan Chensan: "..." I must have misread it just now.

Thinking of this, he straightened his collar, strolled to the guest book like a curious ordinary tourist, and opened it to check.

Before, after contacting the crew assistant who had seen "The First Red Handkerchief", Watanuki Chenzo has been waiting here for news.The so-called "handkerchief that inspired the screenwriter" was actually something he used to mark the location of the corpse, but after so many years, Mianjian Chenzo has forgotten where the tree is, and can only rely on this assistant.

However, after contacting him, the assistant never called him again, and Mianjian Chenzo couldn't be too eager, worrying about arousing the other party's curiosity or vigilance.

Since it was agreed that if he was not there, the assistant would write the relevant information in the register, so every time a guest came to leave a message for the hotel register, Watanuki Tatsuzo would stroll over to take a look after they left.

However, I still can't wait for the news I want, and all I see are thank you messages for my satisfaction with the service, or strange opinions.

Seeing the passage of time, Mian Guanchensan was unavoidably anxious, worried that the employee would forget about this matter, and even more worried that the other party would discover the abnormality under the tree, dig out the bones in advance, and then call the police... He always listened to the movement outside, and prepared to If there is any sign of the police coming, look for opportunities to sneak away.

Fortunately not.

But just now, Mian Guan Chensan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the two little girls open the guestbook and mutter the words in their mouths.

He realized that he had probably waited for the news.

After seeing the message with his own eyes and confirming the situation, Watanuki Tatsuzo closed the guest book with satisfaction, showing a little relieved smile.

Then go back to the room to change clothes and prepare to go up the mountain.

Although five years ago, after getting rid of his competitors and successfully ascending to the director-general of the mud participants, he already had a group of juniors under his command.

But those subordinates, after all, were all participants in the meeting.Mianguan Chenzo didn't dare to let them touch the skeleton of another skeleton first - he had to see it with his own eyes first, and deal with any possible mistakes, and then pretend that what was buried in the ground was just a blind man. Ordinary people, let the younger brothers help with the aftermath.

……

In the hall, Jiang Xia saw Mianguan Chensan flipping through the guestbook, and remembered what happened on the mountain just now.

Since Toru Amuro told him all about the old red handkerchief just now, Jiang Xia couldn't pretend that he didn't find anything, so like a competent tool worker, he picked up his mobile phone again and knocked on the phone to give Amuro Tou a complete answer. News, and told him about meeting the staff member on the mountain.

This news further confirmed Amuro Toru's conjecture just now.

He nodded, and before he could say anything, a person came down the stairs next to him.

——The impatient Mianguan Chenzo has already quickly changed into a suit of convenient clothes.

He passed the hall, walked out of the gate as if nothing had happened, and walked quickly to the deep forest after leaving everyone's sight.

One minute later, two figures also left the hotel, falling far behind Mianguan Chenzo.This is Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru.

As long as you get the evidence that Mianguan Chensan killed his competitor and find out the connection between this matter and another organization, you can turn in the water paddling task.

……

There are thick branches and leaves piled up in the forest, and the crisp sound of dead leaves makes people's heart tighten a little every time they land.

But fortunately at this time, the mountain wind was getting stronger, the faint sound of the wind and the shaking of the branches and leaves covered the sound of the pursuit, coupled with the striding strides of the pursued, Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru did not cause Miankanchen Three notes.

but……

Jiang Xia glanced behind the tree in the distance.

On the way, he would occasionally meet some people hiding in the mountains, and corresponding peeping eyes.I don't know whether it is the younger brother Watanuki Chenzo brought to help, or the member of the peripheral organization that Amuro Toru found.The sky was already very dark, and when those people saw him passing by with Anshi, they occasionally had a faint murderous look on their bodies.

"..." Jiang Xia felt the murderous aura that was not high-end but could be used as standard rations from a distance, and counting the number of people he met along the way, his heart moved slightly.

……

Amuro Toru is not as half-hearted as Jiang Xia.The paddling is the water paddling, and he still instinctively concentrated when he was tracking.

Then it was discovered that the direction Mianguan Chensan was going was not the maple tree where the bones were buried.

The veteran cadre who participated in the mud meeting took a detour and picked a road with few people, all the way to the top of the mountain.

"..." Toru Amuro remembered the guest book in the hall.The situation was further confirmed - the message did not have any codes that implied the location, but just a literal meaning: the assistant found the tree with the original red handkerchief tied, and then designated a conspicuous place that everyone knew The place where they meet, so that they can take Miankanchen to the past.

Following all the way, the three of them arrived at the shooting location.

An artistic maple tree stands on the top of the mountain, with slightly drooping leaves, and red handkerchiefs floating all over the tree, like a group of miniature ghosts in red.

Toru Amuro stopped at a distance, waiting for the two people in front of him to finish talking and go to the place where the corpse was hidden.

……

Ahead, the assistant that Jiang Xia and the others met—the man surnamed ホヅミ saw a figure approaching, and immediately realized that it was his generous client.

He raised his hand, waved it to Mianguan Chensan, and said hello.

At the same time, ホヅミ looked at the approaching Watanuki Tatsuzo, making small calculations in his heart.
