Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 94 Are you here to throw the pot again?

After Toru Amuro came up with that speculation, he looked at Unnamed and asked in a low tone, "Where is Jiang Xia?"

After a pause, he couldn't help it, and asked again, "You broke my tire? You followed us all this time?"

"..." Anonymous, who was adjusting the hem of the skirt, paused suspiciously.

Toru Amuro was taken aback, his eyes became sharper, and he began to think about which question he was asking, and the question hit the point.

However, Anonymous only chose the last question to answer: "I didn't follow you on purpose."

Amuro didn't believe it.

In just a few days, he has met Anon twice, and once he even approached him on his own initiative: "You don't mean to say that these are all coincidences, right?"

"It's not a coincidence, but it's not intentional either." Anonymous took a step back and smiled meaningfully, "I'm here only because...we are everywhere."

... After all, as we all know, there are countless clones of Anonymous, anyone can be "Anonymous", and "Anonymous" can be anyone.

As soon as the words fell, Topin Amuro understood the cryptic words.

Anonymous suddenly turned around, stepped out of the eaves, and instantly fell into the thick darkness below.

Toru Amuro: "...?"

He didn't expect that someone would jump off the building suddenly while talking well.He subconsciously took a step towards the window, trying to hold him back, but failed.

Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to turn around, planning to run back to the tower to check the situation.

However, as soon as he turned around, he happened to meet Suzuki Sonoko's shocked gaze.

Suzuki Sonoko said in horror: "You...you pushed people down?!"

"..." Amuro was silent for a moment with the new pot on his head, and suddenly thought that he might have made a mistake in blaming Anonymous just now.

He sighed: "I want to hold her..."

……

Jiang Xia dispersed the puppets in mid-air, and his consciousness returned to his body.

The main body is still in the secret passage of the castle at this time.

Jiang Xia waited quietly for a while.

Not long after, I saw Akemi Miyano leading a group of shikigami, lining up and floating back through the wall.

Jiang Xia's eyes lit up slightly, and she patted Miyano Akemi's head with rua to show encouragement, then picked up the souls one by one, folded them up, and signed the contract.

After that, he looked around and started to wander around, preparing to "encounter" with the person who came to him.

——The structure of this castle is complicated, the secret passages are even more criss-crossed, and the secret doors are also very hidden. If you are not careful, you will get lost.

Coupled with the fact that "anonymous with a strange position" deliberately obstructed it, it was normal for Jiang Xia to wander around inside for an hour.

……

After Anon jumped off the tower suddenly, the four people on the top of the tower quickly chased them down, but they didn't feel too flustered—there was news about Anon jumping the Shinkansen with a bomb in their hands. They always felt that Anon would not die just by jumping off the tower.

Facts have proved that several people were right.

Under the tower, there is no unknown corpse at all.

There was only one body of the "Old Lady".

Although human lives were at stake, the four of them couldn't determine the position of the other people in the castle, so they didn't rush to find a helper to collect the corpse, but slipped into the secret passage of the castle first and concentrated on finding someone.

They successfully found Jiang Xia.

……

After Jiang Xia met with his teammates, he briefly explained a few words, and then told them: there is a skeleton in the secret passage, the skeleton's foot bones are thinner, it seems to be an elderly woman.

The attention of the other four people was quickly absorbed by the corpse, especially the two detectives.

——They immediately thought of the "old lady" who fell to death under the tower, and gradually figured out the cause and effect.

……

The next day, the phone line was fixed.

The police arrived quickly, and the car called by Amuro Toru also came.

When Toru Amuro opened the trunk and checked the tires inside, Jiang Xia also leaned over to take a look. This time, the tires were actually packed in a metal box with a lock.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He was shocked for a moment, but soon relaxed again.

——If you really encounter the case again later, then you don't need to bite the spare tire at all.Just hide under the car while others are not paying attention, and damage the other tire casually.It is impossible for Toru Amuro to take four spare tires on the road.

However, unfortunately, the way back was very peaceful and no more incidents occurred.

Seeing the familiar streets of Mihua Town, the five people in the car let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Four of them were thankful that they had finally reached their destination.

The other, with a little bit of regret.

……

There are also specific regulations for organizing affairs.

For example, after completing a task, you need to write a report.

This was originally Toru Amuro's job, but Toru Amuro left this matter to his nominal apprentice.

……

After Jiang Xia returned to Tokyo, he went to Dr. Ali's house first, and took back the cats and dogs left there.

——He is not at home these days, but the action of the bad guys looking for cats and dogs has not stopped, and the pets picked up need someone to take care of them.

So Jiang Xia used his grandfather as a tool man—the neighbor Dr. A Li.

When he helped Dr. Ali test those new inventions in the past, he was often bombed, so when he troubled his neighbors, Jiang Xia was also very righteous.

……

Jiang Xia came to the office with her pet, and while waiting for business in the store, she wrote a task report according to the sample given by Amuro.

By evening, he had successfully completed the work.

Trying to send the report to a specific mailbox.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.

——Listen to the ringtone, it's the black one, which is the special machine for the contact organization.

"...?" Jiang Xia was startled, and picked up the phone.

Gin's voice came from the receiver: "Where are you now?"

Jiang Xia tasted these words and felt that things were unusual.

——When Gin sends out tasks, he usually goes straight to them, which saves time.It is absolutely impossible to first use such words as "where are you" and "are you free" intimately to ask the other party if it is inconvenient.

So... the "where are you" here is probably similar to the police investigation alibi?

Jiang Xia: "..."

Speaking of it, I always feel that Gin's tone is murderous.

It's a pity that I'm not by his side now, otherwise I'd be able to squeeze out a lot...

Jiang Xia regretfully listened to the voice in the earphone, and regretfully squeezed the ghost on his leg: "In the office."

As he spoke, he glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window.

Just now, just as Jiang Xia moved the cats and dogs in, it started to rain.

This weather, coupled with this time...

He suddenly thought: Could it be Shirley who defected?

Sure enough, Qin Jiu mentioned this code name in his next sentence.

It's just that before he finished speaking, someone knocked on the back of the sofa that Jiang Xia was leaning on.

Jiang Xia turned her head, and saw Toru Amuro came back at some time, standing behind him elusively, stretching out his hand towards him.

It looked like he was asking for a cell phone.
