Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 690 The Last Case

In addition to Watanuki Chenzo, the other two suspects who were singled out were a guest who used vulgar language and looked like a vulgar gangster; and a foreigner.

Kogoro Mori looked at the three suspects who were neatly arranged and just right, and his reasoning heart was ready to move.

He murmured to Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Ordinary people will leave Chinese characters when they leave their names. But the name that the assistant asked us to write in the message is pronounced as 'ホヅミ'. 'ホヅミ' should be written as 'Suiji'. This The two characters are quite complicated, so the deceased may have written them like this for the convenience of the guest? ——for example, the guest is an old man with poor eyesight and can't read clearly." The gangster said, "Maybe the guest didn't study hard and is not very good at reading Chinese characters. Or..." Mori Kogoro glanced at Toru Amuro for the last time, and lowered his voice, "The guest is a foreigner who is not good at Chinese characters?"

Mao Lilan had already noticed that they were whispering, so she sneaked over to listen.

Hearing this, I couldn't help interjecting to retort: ​​"But Mr. Amuro doesn't have a foreign accent at all, and his name doesn't sound like a foreigner at all—the dead Mr. Assistant said that he only communicated with customers by phone. In that case, He would never consider Amuro-san a foreigner at all."

She always felt that Toru Amuro didn't look like a bad guy.Aside from Amuro Toru's seeming kindness, it is also because of Jiang Xia—it is said that people are divided into groups, and a friend of a friend should be a good person.

Wearing Suzuki Sonoko's skin, Belmode nodded in agreement, but sighed inwardly.Naive angel, Bourbon is not a good thing...but this is just like her, she always thinks of people on the bright side.

……

Yamamura Cao didn't hear the muttering behind him.

He stared intently at the three suspects, pondered for a long time, but also couldn't figure out which one was the murderer.

At this time, his efficient subordinates trotted over: "Shancun Police Department, we got the list of crew members. But... there is no one named 'Suiji'. The deceased may have lied."

Jiang Xia leaned over to look at the list, and punched in the clue points.

Shancun Cao took the list, glanced at it, and shouted: "There is no need for the deceased to lie, right? You should get a serious list, and there are dates mixed in here!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the bottom row.

It did say "August [-]st"

The subordinate scratched his head in doubt: "...It's the official list, maybe they sent it by mistake? I, I'll check again." Then he ran away.

Conan strained his ears, searching for all the information around him.

Hearing this, he was startled suddenly and understood.

Toru Amuro also understood, and glanced at Jiang Xia.

I saw that Jiang Xia neither had the expression of "so that's the case", which represented sudden realization, nor was he puzzled... It seems that this genius detective, when he got the deceased's handbook just now, already knew that the person with bloody fingerprints "April [-]st" means something.It's just that because they are currently doing missions for the organization, it is not good to solve the case so quickly, otherwise their mission goals will fall into the hands of the police.

Thinking about it, Toru Amuro sighed regretfully.

In the current situation, Jiang Xia's reasoning ability and observation ability obviously cannot continue to be used to solve the case.

However, it is possible to use the identity of a detective to complete the mission of the organization. After the police are involved, the situation will inevitably become more difficult to control. Candid photographs of relevant evidence.

Although he had already relied on sending "Information Leaked While Chatting" before, Watanuki Chenzo narrowed down the scope of the search.

But now it seems that time is still not enough, and it needs to be faster.

For example... Let Jiang Xia pretend to be a tough lonely hero, find a chance to lure Mianjian Chenzo to the burial place, and directly send the answer to this dull old cadre of the mud ginseng?
Under Amuro Toru's gaze, Jiang Xia quickly understood what was going on.

He recalled what Conan looked like just now, and copied it on the spot.His brows and eyes moved slightly, with a look of "I understand!"

Then put away the excitement after peeking at the truth, and frowned slightly, as if suffering from the lack of some evidence.

Looking at this scene, Amuro felt relieved, but also complicated.

...Jiang Xia is not only smart in solving cases, but also transparent in other aspects.

But the more it was like this, the more he had the feeling that he was personally pushing this young man to the abyss of crime in this scene... Tsk, if Belmode wasn't by his side, he wouldn't have to be so like Bourbon.

Hateful organization, hateful Belmode.

…………

at the same time.

When Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru were planning to go fishing.

A self-conscious bait has turned around silently and ran to the door, wanting to go up the mountain to confirm something.

——Conan has now collected all the clues that should be known, but he is almost confirmed.

In addition, he realized that even if it was confirmed, the police seemed to have difficulty finding physical evidence.

Therefore, you have to put a little bait.A bit of bait for the real murderer Watanuki Chenzo...

…………

Jiang Xia didn't see Conan's movements, but Xiao Bai, who was floating beside him, did.

It seems to have some appreciation for Conan, who also likes to give others anesthesia injections, so when there is no murderous intent, no ghosts and shikigami, it will look at Conan more when it is free.

After discovering that Conan is both ready to risk his life again, Xiaobai pokes Jiang Xia skillfully and sues.

Jiang Xia glanced at the door, originally planning to pick a fast-running enthusiastic puppet, follow it into the mountains, and give Conan a needle in the dark, or a knife...or be gentle, pick up a sack and bring it back.

But before he could act, a figure passed by silently and lightly in the corner of his sight—"Suzuki Sonoko" also keenly noticed Conan's movements and chased him out.

"..."

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, saving the energy of letting the puppet out.

Belmode knows both Conan's habits and the organization's behavior style, so he should be able to handle things properly.

…………

Conan walked through the corridor and ran to the hotel door.In his mind, he kept thinking about the operation process to lead out the real culprit and bring out the evidence.

But before the plan was fully formed, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, gently scooping him up like a chicken cub, followed by the other hand, a hand covered with an unknown liquid The handkerchief tightly covered his mouth and nose.

"?!!"

Conan was sprinting and was short of breath.When he came back to his senses, he was unfortunately hit.

The foreground shakes, and the familiar dizziness hits like a flood... The familiarity is because after he became Conan, he seemed to have been anesthetized by anonymous people several times.Although it was not an anesthetic needle this time, the effect was the same.
