Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 699 Where are the people?

Jiang Xia quickly stopped.

But it was obviously too late.

——He turned his head as if nothing had happened, and saw that Conan's expression had become very complicated.

In Conan's view, Faxiao's subconscious reaction at least explained one thing - Toru Amuro is indeed the kind of scum who would throw bugs around, and even throw them at employees.Only in this way can we explain why Jiang Xia's first reaction was to look for it when the topic of "bug" was brought up just now, instead of "haha, how is it possible? The boss is not that kind of person".

"..."

Thinking of this, Conan didn't know whether he should be relieved or not.

At least this time, Jiang Xia seems to have discovered something wrong with Toru Amuro... It seems that he is not completely incapable of distinguishing scum, but he discovered it a little late.

There is no way to do this, of course the scumbags will deliberately approach the geniuses first, although the purpose is not pure, but the kind of enthusiastic closeness is obviously true, because Jiang Xia will be useful to them.

Then when necessary, the scumbags will reveal their insidious true colors to use Jiang Xia to achieve some unspeakable goals... After that time, Jiang Xia will want to do what he should have done "bring the scumbags to justice" This kind of thing will become as difficult as killing relatives righteously.

Conan hesitated for a moment, he really couldn't pretend to be ignorant.

He couldn't help asking: "What are you guys busy with going out this time? ——For some people, it's the wisest decision to rein in their horses. Indulging them in breaking the law will only harm them."

Jiang Xia: "..." He didn't seem to say anything, and the pots flew over one by one, and piled on the boss.

... well, it's not a big deal.

Although Conan is an all-rounder who graduated from a special training class in Hawaii, as a primary school student, he has no right to arrest people. Even if he gets involved with the FBI in the future, this place will still be the territory of the island country police for the time being.

In short, in the eyes of red squares like Conan, no matter how much blame the boss has on him, the police can find various reasons not to arrest him, not to mention that Toru Amuro would never leave anyone with a clue for arrest.

Thinking that the boss is a heavy-duty king who can carry countless heavy pots on his shoulders and will never fall, Jiang Xia's guilty conscience immediately dissipated a lot.

So when faced with Conan's question, he hesitated to speak for a while: "I have a request."

Then when Conan's eyes were fixed and he wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, he sighed and cut off the other party's words: "Don't ask." Accompanied by a deep pat on the head, like a mature adult who is under countless pressures. To the ignorant children who questioned, "I don't want to say."

Conan: "..."

... He really likes to ask questions, and he is also good at this. He can always hit the point accurately, until the truth is asked, or someone interrupts, or the other party can't stand the pestering and wants to attack him.

But no matter what the situation is, those people he asked, basically answered while sweating, to the limit... But now, Jiang Xia suddenly asked him very clearly not to ask.

Conan was briefly lost in thought.

. . . He was rarely asked "don't ask".In fact, Conan still wanted to ask, but the sense of morality that a detective should have made it difficult for him to refuse for a while.

After a little tangled effort, the topic has gone off track.

"We almost have to go back." Jiang Xia took out his phone, pressed the button to look at the date, and then turned to Conan, "Since you have finished reading Maple Leaf, do you want to drop by?"

While talking, Jiang Xia was secretly thinking: Although the task is over, the incident should not be over yet.On the way back, not only did I have to pass through half of Gunma County, but I also passed through Saitama County before arriving in Tokyo.On the way, whenever the boss blows a tire once or twice...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia stood up, temporarily left Conan, who was full of thoughts, and walked to Amuro Toru's room expectantly.It is the maple leaf season here, and there are many guests staying overnight.Their rooms are not next to each other, separated by a distance.

……

Then when I got to the place, I found a small cart in the corridor, and the cleaner was cleaning up the room.

Jiang Xia thought at first that this might just be a daily cleaning.

But the probe went in and took a look, and all the luggage was gone.

"...?"

...what about people?
With so much luggage, even if some of it is confidential, it is impossible for Toru Amuro to carry the luggage with him while having breakfast or taking a walk.At most, the confidential part will be drawn out.

But now...no, nothing.

Shouldn't...

A bad premonition gradually emerged in Jiang Xia's heart.

Following behind, Conan, who was watching vigilantly, was also stunned.

Jiang Xia looked at the empty room for a while, then turned to the cleaner who had noticed him.

Looking at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia hesitated and said, "Well, the people who live here..."

The cleaner recalled the record on the dispatch list: "The gentleman has already checked out."

Jiang Xia: "?"

Conan: "??"

Conan was puzzled for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Xia.

Seeing that Jiang Xia's surprise was very real, she seemed completely unaware of it.

And for some reason, Conan found that after his neighbor was stunned, his eyes fell to the air next to him, and he seemed to be distracted, but Conan couldn't be sure if it was his own illusion—he always felt that Jiang Xia When he was in a daze, his gaze was not on the potted plants in the corner, but more like hovering in mid-air.

"..." Although he didn't know what happened, this kind of weird situation still made Conan alert.

He reached out and tugged at Jiang Xia's clothes: "Are you okay?"

"……fine."

Jiang Xia looked back from the strange landing point, and the whole person looked much more normal.Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked in that direction again, but saw nothing.In the end, it had to be regarded as the dust was stirred up by the cleaners when cleaning, and Jiang Xia was looking at them.

When Conan faced the air and observed suspiciously.

Beside, Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and went downstairs, walked through the corridor and the simple stairs, all the way to the front desk.

……

"You mean the gentleman with a Japanese name who looks foreign?"

It was a bit early, and the front desk hadn't switched over yet. Among the people on duty, there happened to be the front desk who helped Amuro through the formalities in the middle of the night.

She obviously still had an impression of Toru Amuro: "The gentleman checked out early in the morning and left overnight, saying that there was something urgent...By the way, you are Jiang Xia, right?"

The receptionist endured it for a long time, but he couldn’t help but turn into a star-eyed person as he talked—looking at Jiang Xia up close, compared to watching it on TV, it has a different taste... I want to reach out and pinch it to see if it’s true Yes, but as a hotel employee, that seemed too rude.
