Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 240 Is this the time to hang up?

  Sawaki felt that he was not without a way to survive - hold on first, and when the police detectives found out that he hadn't floated up, they would definitely come down to find him, and then let those people help him, and he was likely to be saved. After all, his leg was just stuck, not crushed

   As for this portable oxygen cylinder, it was said to have been picked up in the car, perhaps prepared by the murderer "Murakami Jo" for himself. Although there are many loopholes in this excuse, at such a time when life is at stake, who would care to make up a foolproof reason.

  …

  Sawamu fair head, restaurant top.

   In order to create a wider environment, the ceiling of the submarine restaurant is designed to be convex upwards, so that sea water cannot enter here.

   On the ceiling, there are also some decoration designs. Now, this kind of thing is convenient for people who come up from the sea.

   A group of people each grabbed the bulge on the ceiling and floated in the water, looking back at the sudden explosion just now.

   No one would have imagined that an attacker from the Cold Weapons faction who had been shooting people with a crossbow with low lethality would suddenly do such a thing of blowing up an entire building.

   However, Maorilan was not among those who were thinking about "what happened just now?" "Is Murakami mad?"

  She held the top edge with one hand to fix her body. The other hand grabbed Jiang Xia and was trying to artificially awaken the classmates with words full of vigor and hope.

   Just now, when Jiang Xia finished his work in the mermaid's vest under the water, he temporarily disbanded the mermaid puppet.

  This place is full of water, not a good environment to ignite the ghost mint and replenish the murderous aura.

   Fortunately, Jiang Xia didn't spend too much murderous energy when he exerted influence on Ferrari.

- Interfering with the water flow is not strictly a mermaid's skill, it is more like a certain talent of hers, just like a human being born to howl, a mermaid seems to be born to understand how to subtly influence the water flow , as long as you add a little murderous boost, let them become a great help.

   Just now, Jiang Xia relied on the mermaid to barely interfere with Ferrari, who was being swept by the current.

   Regarding this matter, strictly speaking, even if Sawagi Fairy drowned in the water because of this, it could not be regarded as Jiangxia's subjective murder.

  ——Jiang Xia was just unlucky. When he was condensing the puppet, he happened to encounter Ferrari hitting him. In order to protect himself, he hurriedly changed the direction of the sports car.

   And, the more important reason Ferrari would crush Sawagi fair than a little water flow, was the rolling sea water that propelled the car.

   And the large amount of sea water poured into the restaurant is because Sawagi Fairy planted the bomb and pressed the detonation button...

   In short, rounding up, it can only be considered that he committed suicide.

   Of course, if you want to help Sawagi achieve this kind of achievement fairly and perfectly, you need to give him a little help.

  …

After    Jiang Xia removed the mermaid's puppet, he started to assemble another puppet again.

  In the submarine restaurant, emergency lighting is installed.

   The explosion just now blew up the power supply, and in this case, the emergency lights were turned on.

   But when the bomb caused huge damage to the building, it also blew up more than half of the emergency lights, which made one side of the restaurant very dark.

   Jiang Xia let Wutiangou's soul float to the gloomy corner on that side. Then the puppet clay also gathered there, silently condensing into a human shape.

  …

   Although this explosion was earth-shattering, the human body in this world is relatively special, and the water pressure seems to have unique rules.

   In short, two minutes later, except for a hapless guy whose leg was pinned by Ferrari, everyone else floated up to the ceiling without injury, emerged from the water, grabbed the things on the ceiling, and stayed temporarily.

   Even Nishina, who was afraid of water, was pulled up by Mouri Kogoro.

  The Mumu Police Department lacks professional ability, but has a strong sense of responsibility. He wiped a handful of water from his face, and immediately began to address people anxiously.

   Counted around and found that one was missing.

   Mumu Police Department frowned and said, "Where's Mr. Sawagi? Did you see him?!"

   Jiang Xia kept the Wutiangou puppet he made just now, his consciousness returned to his body, and he opened his eyes.

   His eyes moved slightly, he looked forward, and his eyes gradually settled in one place.

  Mao Lilan was the closest to Jiang Xia, so he was the first to discover that Jiang Xia had recovered from that kind of hang up... ah no, he had recovered from that stressful state.

   She looked at Jiang Xia with a slight surprise, followed his gaze suspiciously and looked back.

   Just behind her, that is, in front of Jiang Xia, a figure was grabbing the chandelier and floating on the water.

  The chandelier has long since been powered off, and where the man was, unfortunately even the emergency light was broken. His whole body was in the shadows, and he could only see that it was a man.

   In the sound of rushing water, the shouting was not easy to hear, so Mao Lilan waved at the Mumu Police Department, and then pointed to the shadow to remind him that there was someone there.

  The Mumu police department looked over there and calmed down—very good, the number is right, and everyone is together.

   Mori Kogoro also shouted at the place where Sawagi fair was located: "Hey! Are you alright!"

  In the closed restaurant, the sound of water was loud, and the sound of small buildings collapsing was heard from time to time, and the noise cut off the communication between the two sides.

However, several people soon saw that "Sawagi Fair" was leaning on something like a floating board behind his back, raised his hand tiredly, and waved to everyone - he just said hello and said There was no sign of panic or anything resembling a call for help.

   The police, detectives and passersby breathed a sigh of relief.

  Very well, everyone is alive and miraculously no one was hurt.

  Since this is the case, it is time to discuss how to get out: since the sea water can pour in, it means that the explosion just now created a gap from the restaurant to the sea.

   If they were lucky, they might be able to swim through the gap.

  Although the Muki Police Department wanted Sawagi Fairy to swim to their side, the explosion and water waves just now caused a lot of sharp obstacles to float on the water, and going back and forth was risky. It's better to wait for them to discuss, and then make a gesture to let Sawagi keep up with fairness, which can also save some physical strength.

  …

   Since the last time Jiang Xia picked up the mermaid and the energy core from Kidd, the abilities of the ghosts have been strengthened a little.

   Specifically, even if Jiang Xia's consciousness is absent, they can manipulate the puppets in a small amount and for a short period of time and make some actions, instead of just acting as a template for maintaining the puppet's human form.

  While a group of people were discussing escape strategies, the shadowy "Sawaki Fairy"—that is, the puppet-shaped Kiritengu, lowered his hand like a broken thread, leaned on his wings wearily, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

   Now I am tired, very tired, very tired, and I want to sleep in the tattoo space immediately.
