Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 417 Who should the organization and the police choose?

   Jiang Xia drove a dummy and walked into the rental car with a fake ID.

   Twenty minutes later, he successfully drove a truck with a puppet.

   He drove the car to a hidden place, and hid the body in the car first, so as not to be too far apart from the puppet later, which would consume a lot of murderous aura.

   Then he returned to the driver's seat, took out the money to buy a set of tools, and piled it on the car.

  After getting ready, the truck set off and drove all the way to the Dusk Pavilion.

   Vehicles pass through dense forests and old bridges.

  In the end, through the branches and leaves blocking the view, you can see an old castle standing in the forest.

   Jiang Xia looked at the tall old castle from a distance, raised his hand to support the bucket hat, and a gloomy light full of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

  …

When    approached the annex, Jiang Xia first took a turn around.

   He was driving a puppet framed by Miss Spider. Eight hook claws stick out from the back, the action is light and silent, and the speed is fast. In this kind of mountain with complex terrain, it is more convenient than a truck.

   went around and found no one.

   Then he walked along the wall to the gate, reached into the hook to pry open the gate, and arrogantly drove the truck inside.

On the way   , Jiang Xia sensed it carefully, and asked the ghosts to help find it.

   But no traces of ghosts or shikigami were found.

  Although there seems to have been a massacre here more than 40 years ago, the shikigami usually picks up on his own body or the leg of the murderer. Now that the body has been transported away and disposed of, and the murderer has long since left, it seems that none of the shikigami can stay.

   Moreover, according to the results of the investigation at the annex just now, there is no ghost here...

   Failed to find the ghost, Jiang Xia had no choice but to turn his eyes back to Gold.

  …

   After half a day, at the foot of the annex at dusk.

   Jiang Xia carefully placed the last piece of gold dug up on the truck, looked at the fully loaded truck, and nodded secretly with satisfaction.

   He didn't dig too much, just grabbed a lot of gold from the humble corner house.

   Although this precious metal is very heavy, Jiangxia now has quite a few shikigami.

  As the number of shikigami increases, the quality of the puppet clay gradually improves, and the strength of the puppet also increases. Today, the power of the puppets has long exceeded the scope of ordinary humans. He easily used the puppet to carry it back and forth, and quickly piled all the gold that had been pryed on the cart.

   After digging, Jiang Xia did not forget to sweep the tail and restore the dusty castle shell to its original state.

   Finally, before the sun went down, we drove away in a low-key manner.

  It has to be said that although money is useless, the act of mining itself gives a sense of achievement.

  Jiang Xia plans to wait for this batch of gold from the boss's hometown to be laundered into money, so he will open a puppet that can disguise himself as a human, and try to buy the Twilight Annex.

  If you are under great pressure in the future, or if you are robbed by gin again, you will come and dig a little to cultivate your body and mind.

As far as Jiang Xia knows, the current owner of the Golden Pavilion, Dashang Zhushan, is now destitute—a few years ago, when Dashang Zhushan heard about the treasure, he put all his net worth on buying the Dusk Pavilion. , to find treasure.

  Dashang Zhushan is also a famous detective.

   He thought that according to his reasoning ability, as long as he bought the annex, the treasure would be within his grasp... Who knows that there is a huge gap between ideal and reality, he has been searching for many years, but there is still no clue, and the pressure on his body is also increasing.

Up to now, Dashang Zhushan has even come up with the idea of ​​"find a few detectives and lock them up in the annex, kill them one by one if they can't solve the mystery, and use their lives to let them explode their potential." To this extent, if someone is willing to bid to buy the castle at this time, Dashang Zhushan may agree to change hands, and by the way, he will drop a bunch of good quality murderous aura.

  If you don't want to, then you have to explore other uses.

  ——I don’t want to buy the annex, but wait until Zhu Shan wanted to kill someone but was killed, first pick up the ghost he dropped, and then move his hands and feet to block the mechanism, so that the gold in the castle cannot be exposed for the time being.

After   , tell the gentleman about the news of the Twilight Annex, or disclose it to Amuro Toru as appropriate, or do both at the same time, and change the friendliness of both sides to facilitate their ghosts in the future.

  There are so many detectives in the castle, and there will be murders at that time. Even if Jiang Xia doesn't notify Amuro, it is normal for the police to go to the Twilight Annex. Don't worry that the grown-up suspects that he is selling both sides of a message.

As for Amuro... Twilight Annex was once the property of the boss's family, and the organization's eyes and ears were all over the island country, so it's not surprising to know anything. After the case of Twilight Annex was exposed to the outside world, the boss suddenly had an association and sent someone to find him. Here, the same is normal...

   After the news is sold out, you can eat melons and watch the show, and open an auction to see who will end up in the hands of this pile of gold.

  …

   After playing the miner game, Jiang Xia used a puppet to drive a fully loaded truck into the black market, found an institution that had a chain relationship with Tokyo and where he frequented, and threw away the gold and accounts.

After   , he threw the body in a hidden place, returned the car, scattered the puppets, and returned to the body.

   Then we headed back to Tokyo overnight.

  …

   At noon the next day, Jiang Xia returned to Rice Flower Town.

When    arrived near his home, he got out of the taxi, stepped on the snow, and turned into the street where his home was located.

   pushed open the courtyard door and walked to the door of the house.

   was about to take the key to open the door when he heard a soft click from the next door.

Turning around, he saw that the door of Dr. A Li's house was pushed open, and two small heads poked out of the room - the courtyard wall between Jiang Xia and Dr. A Li's house. When Dr. A Li was doing experiments last night, unfortunately, A gap was blown open.

  Haihara Ai looked at Jiang Xia through the gap, and quickly swept his eyes around again.

   Seeing that Jiang Xia looked quite healthy, there was no problem, and there were no suspicious black Porsches around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

——A few days ago, I met Jiang Xia in Tottori County, and was reminded by Jiang Xia to wear more hats, pay attention to cover up, and not stay up late to avoid hair loss... When Haibara Ai had a bad premonition, she knew that there might be an organization nearby member.

   When she got home yesterday, she was approached by Conan, who was out of her mind, and the two sides had a simple exchange. Haibara Ai found out that Conan met Jiang Xia and Gin at the same time on the train to Tottori Prefecture.

  ...That is to say, she probably passed Gin without knowing it.

  Haihara mourned for a while and was afraid.

   At the same time, she found that this also meant that Jiang Xia and Qin Jiu were acting together again.

   Although he knew that Jiang Xia was a member of the organization, it was normal to stay with Qin Jiu and others.

   But after Hui Yuanai returned home, when he thought of the terrible gin, and then looked at the unlit building of Jiang Xia's house next door, he felt very uneasy.

   Therefore, yesterday and today, the time she spent in the laboratory was correspondingly reduced. She would come to the living room with a fashion magazine from time to time, and occasionally go to the kitchen to look at Jiang Xia's house.
