Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 697 What to do when the moon is dark and the wind is high (updated)

This night, it may be a tired life, suddenly ushered in the dawn of the end.Amuro Toru did not sleep as soundly as the previous two times.

In addition, that "mysterious man" occupied a lot of his energy - not long ago, those peripheral members who fainted on the mountain gradually woke up, and Toru Amuro got in touch with them immediately.

However, due to the darkness and the fact that the raiders approached without warning, the peripheral members couldn't see who the raiders were at all.But Amuro got at least one important piece of information from them—all said they hadn't installed recording equipment.

In other words, the recording equipment was actually installed by the mysterious person who brought down the two parties.The purpose is unknown.

Toru Amuro pondered for a long time, but he didn't want to understand the specific connection between Matsuda and this task.

Therefore, at night, he paid extra attention to the movement outside, and would go to the window to have a look from time to time—if Matsuda did not leave after beating someone, but stayed nearby to observe the situation as he did in the last case... then maybe he himself Any chance to try to catch someone, or at least meet up?
Asking about the situation is definitely more useful than all guesswork.That way, even if you can't get an answer, at least you can get some information on the sidelines.Unlike now, now, even the conjecture that "it was Kurosawa who beat the person" itself is just his conjecture.

……

However, Toru Amuro paid attention for a long time, but failed to catch the pine that was haunting nearby... Sasa Kurosawa.

Instead, another abnormality was discovered.

— Belmode answered the phone.He frowned, then reluctantly drove away.

"..." Amuro looked through the window, looking at this scene with slight doubts.The phone call is from the boss?Or are there some quests that only Belmode can do?

He stood in the shadows behind the curtains, speculating wildly about the situation.

However, looking at Belmode's car going away, Toru Amuro felt a little more relaxed - having such a mysterious and cunning organization cadre by his side will inevitably make their undercover spirit tense .

In normal times, Toru Amuro would not mind a few tricks with these people, maybe he could get some information instead.

But now, it is not a good time to do such a thing.Before, Belmode had already appeared when the public security department was present. Although Toru Amuro had arranged for his subordinates to withdraw, this was still a flaw.

In addition, he is not alone now, there are Jiang Xia and Mao Li's family beside him.I don't know why, Toru Amuro always feels that Belmod seems to be more interested in Jiang Xia than himself... What does this woman want to do?It can't really be because of the covetousness of the little fresh meat.But although Belmode is not young anymore, at least she looks like a charming woman. She is at the right age, and she can take everything from top to bottom. When she looks back and smiles, countless little fresh meats will fall into her arms one after another, but why does she Prefer to hang around Jiang Xia after cross-dressing?
...Could it be that the last time Jiang Xia was captured, he overturned tragically, so he has been thinking about it until now?
Of course, "Bermode came for Jiang Xia", this is also just an unfounded conjecture.

After all, apart from Jiang Xia, there are other factors that can attract members of the organization -- such as that mysterious person.

The last time in the Toushen Forest, this time in the Red Tree Hotel, both Belmode and the mysterious person were suspected to have appeared.

Toru Amuro suddenly thought, there is actually another possibility.

——Bermod actually came to track down that mysterious man.And now, the mysterious man has completed his unknown goal and left the Chishu Hotel, so Belmode also left.

As soon as the mysterious person was mentioned, Toru Amuro instinctively thought of Matsuda Jinpei.

But... But Matsuda doesn't seem to have the habit of beating others, let alone taking off his pants.Speaking of this, Jiang Xia is a bit fond of hitting people, but she is not so perverted, and Jiang Xia has been with her today, and she has an absolute alibi.

Also, talking about Matsuda... Kurosawa just looks like Matsuda, and occasionally moves like Matsuda.He doesn't have to be the real Matsuda.

In short, regardless of whether he is Matsuda or not, what does this have to do with the organization and Belmode?
Amuro was lost in thought.

A few seconds later, he got up suddenly and began to pack his luggage in the dark.

Instead of guessing in the absence of information, it is better to follow the past and have a look.

Anyway, Belmode didn't say anything like "she received a secret mission and needs to be avoided by Bourbon and others".In this case, wouldn't it be very reasonable for intelligence personnel to be curious to see what other cadres are doing.

And now, the task of participating in the meeting has been completed, and it would only be a waste of time to stay.

The only thing to do is probably to return to Tokyo with Jiang Xia, because he brought him out, so he seems obliged to bring him back.

but……

Amuro let out a sigh.

Although Jiang Xia is a good boy, it is too tiring to travel with him.

To be honest, when Toru Amuro sees Jiang Xia standing next to the car, his scalp tingles instinctively... But he can't say it directly, it's not all because of his boss's face, but also because he is worried about poking the fragile heart of a young genius.Young people's minds sometimes twist and turn and it's hard to guess, and Jiang Xia is obviously the kind of person who is keen and thinks a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have cut himself into the hospital a year ago.

And now, the opportunity presented itself.

With the matter at hand, it is natural to fly solo logically, and let Jiang Xia go back in other ways - such as going to his acquaintances for a ride.Conan Mourilan and the others are still young, and they look very energetic. They should have no problem staying in Tokyo.

Toru Amuro quickly sorted everything out, and pressed his conscience by the way.Then he picked up his luggage and went out, quickly completed the formalities at the front desk, and silently got into his car.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, a shadow of a car left the hotel, moving steadily with a hint of lightness, like an eagle running towards freedom.

……

the next morning.

Jiang Xia was awakened by a knock on the door.

The ghosts didn't give any warning about this, only saying that the knocker seemed to be a public-faced policeman.

Jiang Xia got up, patted the slightly messy pajamas, opened the door a crack, and found that it was indeed a policeman.

At first, the other party looked past him and secretly looked into his room.

Later, I recognized Jiang Xia who opened the door, and her tone became friendly again: "Good morning, one of our important witnesses is missing. After we parted last night, have you seen this person?"

He handed over a photo.

On it is a kind-faced old man, very familiar - Mianguan Chenzo's face looks like a passport photo, in a suit and leather shoes.This should be downloaded from the official website. On the surface, Watanuki Tatsuzo is the president of a logistics club.
