Corpse collector in Conan

The Shinkansen cannot stop for too long and the trains restart quickly.

Jiang Xia and his three classmates returned to their original positions, and the atmosphere was much quieter than before.

Suzuki Sonoko originally also remembered the martyrs.

But after a while, she looked at the sad Mao Lilan, and then at Jiang Xia, who had done nothing but suddenly seemed tired, and seemed to be covering up her sadness with sleepiness... Suddenly she realized that something was not good.

...I heard that emotions are contagious.

Jiang Xia must not be allowed to soak in this sad atmosphere!

Suzuki Sonoko then cheered up and started talking to Jiang Xia about her sister's villa, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

She thought that although she had encountered another murder, it didn't matter, there was still a villa in the forest where she could heal her mood.

The scenery there is beautiful, and there is no signal - that is to say, after arriving, you can no longer play with your mobile phone and can only communicate with people traveling with you. It is a good way to make a boy's heart bud... ahem, it is a place that promotes the in-depth development of friendship. A good place in Jiang Xia's heart to replace that bastard doctor!

…

Two hours later.

Suzuki Sonoko began to question her previous thoughts.

...Can this trip really leave good memories?

She hid behind Jiang Xia and stuck her head out warily, looking at a suspension bridge in front of her.

——The suspension bridge spans a deep mountain stream. Below is the tumbling stream. On the opposite side of the bridge is the Suzuki family's villa.

…

Just now, Suzuki Sonoko was very happy when she saw the villa from a distance. This means they have finally arrived at their destination and can drop their luggage, rest and have some fun.

When he stepped onto the suspension bridge, Suzuki Sonoko saw a person on the bridge.

The man was wearing a black robe and a hood, with his back to them, and was walking towards the villa.

Suzuki Sonoko originally thought this was her sister's friend.

However, after saying hello from afar, the man in black robe on the bridge turned around, revealing a face covered with bandages.

In the dimly lit evening, deep in the mountains and old forests, I suddenly encountered such a thing that I didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost...

Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time, and swooped behind Jiang Xia, trembling like a sieve: "You, you, you, you, you saw it!?"

Of course Jiang Xia saw it.

Not only did he see it, he also smelled a trace of murderous aura following the mountain wind blowing over.

...It's a pity that the quality of murderous aura is very average.

Sure enough, I'd better wait to pick up the ghost.

The bandaged man in front did not stay for long. He ran away quickly, quickly crossed the suspension bridge and disappeared into the dim woods near the villa.

Without anyone blocking the way, Jiang Xia planned to continue walking.

But just as he took a step forward, his arms tightened and he was pulled back to the original position by two girls who had received a huge strength buff due to fear.

Suzuki Sonoko stared at the place where the bandaged man disappeared and asked doubtfully: "That man is also going to the villa? Why is he dressed like that?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while, then said in an evasive manner: "It must be because the mountain wind is strong, that's why I wore a hat and cloak."

He was worried that the two classmates were too afraid. If they use the landline phone in the villa to call the police, or call a bodyguard or something, the ghost will be gone...

After saying that, in order to increase his credibility, Jiang Xia also pulled his hood over his head: "It's a bit cold."

The other three: "..."

Conan: "...Are you short-sighted?"

Is the emphasis on hats and capes? The key point is obviously the bandages on that man’s face! No serious person would wrap themselves up like that.

Jiang Xia groaned and nodded: "A little bit indeed."

This is a lie.

But it sounds like this is a good excuse that can be used for a long time, Jiang Xia silently noted this in her heart.

Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan hesitated, wanting to describe to Jiang Xia the suspicious person they saw.

But then I thought about it, the bandaged man on the bridge actually didn't do anything bad. Instead, he ran away quickly after seeing them. Maybe he was just a passing chuunibyou.

It’s better not to say it and affect Jiang Xia’s mood...

…

The four of them crossed the suspension bridge and arrived at the door of the villa.

Suzuki Sonoko was about to press the doorbell, but at this moment, there was a sudden crashing sound from the side of the house.

The two girls immediately thought of the bandaged man just now, and their hair stood on end.

Conan, as stubborn as ever, rushed over quickly.

Jiang Xia also came closer to take a look at the situation.

Then it was discovered that the sound came from a small warehouse.

Through the open door, a young woman can be seen standing in the warehouse.

The woman has slightly curly hair, a pair of squinting eyes, and her facial profile is very similar to Suzuki Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko saw the woman's face clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and hugged her: "Sister!"

Suzuki Ayako greeted her with a smile, and then looked at the other people.

She had met Mao Lilan before.

So Suzuki Ayako looked at the stranger Jiang Xia carefully, and said kindly: "This is your classmate, right?" After that, she looked at Conan again, "This is the child who lives in Xiaolan's house? How cute."

Suzuki Ayako originally wanted to rub Conan's head, but now she is sorting firewood and her hands are a little dirty.

So in the end I just nodded to them: "You guys go in first and put down your luggage, it's very heavy to carry."

Although she asked the guests to go into the room first, Jiang Xia had already come and was too embarrassed to just sit back and watch the hostess do manual labor.

So he handed the luggage to Mao Lilan and asked his classmates to help him take it into the house, while he stayed to help stack firewood.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko also wanted to help, but the warehouse was not large, and the large number of people would only cause trouble. Moreover, there was not much firewood to move, so they took their luggage and entered the villa.

Conan didn't leave.

He symbolically helped to hold a few firewoods that were taller than him, and asked Suzuki Ayako: "Sister Ayako, do any of the people who came today have bandages on their faces?"

"Bandage?" Suzuki Ayako didn't know what the child was talking about. She shook her head, "No."

Conan asked: "Are there any cosplay enthusiasts? Or people who are very good at it?"

This time the villa party was a small class reunion held by Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko was just here to bring people to stay.

Therefore, Suzuki Ayako is more familiar with visitors than her younger sister.

But even so, they haven't seen each other for several years. Suzuki Ayako doesn't know her classmates' current hobbies, so she can only answer vaguely: "Maybe."

Conan nodded thoughtfully.

Jiang Xia glanced at him, but wasn't too worried that Conan would hinder her from picking up ghosts.

Although Conan looks very alert, most of the time, the child just memorizes the surrounding information out of habit and rarely prevents crimes.

…

The three people quickly packed up the warehouse, carried firewood, and returned to the villa.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a girl's scream coming from the second floor.

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound.

...This is Mao Lilan's voice.

Conan's expression changed and he rushed upstairs quickly.

Suzuki Ayako looked at the second floor and tilted her head in confusion, but she was not too worried.

Because she felt that there was more shyness in these two screams than fear...

Jiang Xia vaguely guessed the situation.

He first put the firewood next to the fireplace.

When Jiang Xia went upstairs to find his classmates to pick up their luggage, Jiang Xia inquired about it and found that things were exactly as he had imagined.

——There are three boys among the members of this party.

They were in their respective rooms, changing clothes, but they all forgot to lock the door.

Suzuki Sonoko had her own fixed room, so she checked in without any setbacks.

Mao Lilan was in trouble - when she was looking for a room, she opened a door without thinking too much and saw a half-guo man changing clothes inside.

Mao Lilan was frightened and screamed. After apologizing, she hurriedly closed the door and opened it again in a panic. Unexpectedly, a similar scene happened again.

After opening the door three times in a daze and looking at all the male classmates of Suzuki Ayako, Mao Lilan finally found her guest room and rushed in as if she was fleeing.

...However, because of what she did, Jiang Xia found the room much more smoothly - everyone locked the door obediently.
