Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 494 Examples of Wrong Ways to Pick Up a Talk

  The enthusiastic male college student was walking at the front, but now he looked back at Jiang Xia and his group, and took the initiative to slow down.

   When Jiang Xia was talking to Mao Lilan, he deliberately did not hide his voice.

   There were also a few people who were preparing to climb the mountain next to him. Hearing this, he glanced at them.

   Mao Lilan, who has a high affinity, saw this, suppressed his nervousness, smiled, and tried his best to naturally nod and greet the person who came over.

  ——According to what Jiang Xia said before, among these people, there may be the killer codenamed "Silver Fox" hiding... Phew, I'm a little scared thinking about it. She repeatedly simulated various offensive and defensive moves in her mind, secretly clenching her fists.

  The travelers who climbed the mountain didn't know what was going on in this cute girl's mind, and only saw a sunny and cheerful high school girl. So they all nodded kindly in response.

   The client Chao Wenzao saw this and took the opportunity to walk up to them, pretending to be a destined climber, and planning to go up the mountain together later.

   At this time, a male college student next to him also approached and said enthusiastically to Mao Lilan:

   "You look like a novice? I come to climb this mountain regularly every year, and I am familiar with the environment here. If you are worried about getting lost, you can follow me later."

"..." Conan glanced at him faintly, and on the basis that he was a child, he stretched out his hand to push him away, "Don't bother, we know the way well." After speaking, he dragged Jiang Xia over, "Yeah Jiang "Brother Dong."

   Halfway through the words, Conan, who was soaked in the vinegar vat, woke up - he couldn't expose Jiang Xia's detective identity, that would make Silver Fox alert.

   But this way...

  He looked up at Jiang Xia's face covered with his hat and mask, and sighed sadly. It's not good to use it to stop the peach blossoms... Could it be that he can only rely on his own efforts today.

   As I was thinking, another person came over.

  Looking at the figure, he is still a man.

  Conan raised his head in annoyance and was about to push this man away too.

   But soon, he discovered that this turned out to be an acquaintance.

   A little blond hair was exposed on the edge of the hat, his skin was darker, and his facial features were darker than those of ordinary Asians—he was the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.

  “…”

   Jiang Xia didn't say that his boss would come too...

  Conan looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously, and saw that Jiang Xia seemed surprised too.

   Amuro Toru, like the client just now, pretended to be a passerby who came to say hello.

He approached, first casually explained the reason for his sudden appearance today, and said in a low voice: "I went to the client's medical examination place and found that he was not misdiagnosed. There may be something wrong with this person, and it happened that I was fine today. So come and see."

  Conan: "..."

   I found out that there is a problem with the client, why didn't I call Jiang Xia directly, but come directly and make a surprise attack?

  ... Jiang Xia, the boss, jumps around repeatedly between "suspicious" and "perhaps a good guy" every day.

  Conan silently added the name "Amuro Toru" to his watch list for today.

   At the same time, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xia: Jiang Xia would definitely notice the abnormal behavior of An Shitou.

   However, Jiang Xia didn't seem to mind. On the contrary, there was suddenly one more person in the traveling team, and his mood was vaguely better than before: "So that's how it is."

  Conan: "?"

   Jiang Xia could not have found the problem. Now his reaction... Could it be that Boss Amuro often used to hide information like this?

  The mysterious scum boss...

   His vigilance towards Amuro Toru was raised again.

  …

   Jiang Xia didn't pay much attention to Conan's secret observation.

   Amuro Toru looked down thoughtfully.

   Jiang Xia saw that Amuroto seemed to be quite concerned about his two classmates, and explained: "Yesterday I happened to meet them when I went to buy mountaineering equipment, and they said they wanted to come and see together."

   "Well..." Amuro Toru looked at the slender girl and the children whose legs were not as tall as adults, and originally wanted to say: It would be very dangerous to involve them.

   But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, in the Mihua Art Theater, the solid wood railing that was kicked and cracked by Mao Lilan volleyed into the air, and went silent again.

……never mind.

   When Jiang Xia was talking to his classmates just now, the volume was louder than usual. Strangers may not see it, but it is obvious to acquaintances. This shows that Jiang Xia must have told the two companions about the purpose of their climbing and the dangers of climbing, instead of abducting two innocent people as cover.

   And these two innocent people don't seem to be as weak as they look...

   Amuro Toru didn't think about it any more.

   Seeing the client approaching, he turned to the topic:

"The whereabouts of 'Silver Fox' is secret, and he is also very good at anti-tracking. There is not much information about him, and even men and women are not clear at present. Only from the traces of his previous assassination scene, we can judge that this is a left-handed man. And compared to guns and bombs , he seems to prefer the traditional method of assassination, using knives, throwing knives, bows and the like..."

When    said the last sentence, Amuro glanced at the client Chao Wenzao, obviously thinking of the sniper rifle yesterday - this is not in line with Silver Fox's usual method.

  Chao Wenzao noticed his gaze, looked away, and snorted coldly:

"Maybe Silver Fox just suddenly wanted to develop a new method of assassination. Also, he may have killed people with guns before, but those who died of gunshots were not counted in his name and became headless koans, so he It gives people the illusion that he only uses cold weapons... I hope he doesn't like to use guns. Sniper rifles are too difficult to defend in this kind of place."

   Said, he briefly looked at the dense trees on the mountain, but quickly looked away, and his eyes fell on other tourists who were preparing to climb, trying to find out who was the "Silver Fox".

  The three detectives glanced at him, but did not investigate the suspicious things in front of him.

   "Speaking of lefties..." Conan remembered the clues that Amuro had just provided, and suddenly there was a suspect.

   He looked seven or eight meters away, the male college student who came to talk to him just now, frowned and said in a low voice, "That person is left-handed."

   Jiang Xia followed along.

  The male college student who is said to come to the mountain regularly every year seems to feel that the weather is not right. At this time, he is standing next to the landline of the mountain entry management office, dialing the rest station on the mountain to inquire about the situation.

When    dialed, he was holding the receiver in his right hand and pressing the keys in his left hand - indeed, as Conan said, he was left-handed.

but……

   Jiang Xia glanced at Conan silently, always feeling that Kudo-san's reasoning this time was mixed with private goods.

   But thinking about the ghosts hanging on his body, many of them were caught by Conan, Jiang Xia nodded in favor: "Pay more attention to him when you go up the mountain."

   "Yeah." Conan's eyes have been on the male college student, and he has begun to pay attention.

  But, just after watching it for a while, another person walked by.
