Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 369 Got it, Amuro Toru is also anonymous (joint chapter)

   In addition, Conan felt that Toru Amuro's motive for appearing at school tonight was actually a big problem.

   Jiang Xia was alone at the school gate waiting for elementary school students to finish school.

   With his habit, even if he realizes that the situation in the teaching building is wrong, he will not take the initiative to seek help from his superiors, because that will prevent Jiang Xia from beating the prisoner... Well, it will prevent him from saving people neatly when necessary.

   So Amuro Toru probably joined in when he was passing by.

   If it's to help, that's fine in and of itself. But Amuroto's detective agency is not actually nearby. It's hard to imagine why he suddenly passed by the entrance of the elementary school... But Jiang Xia seems to have said that this boss likes to work, and he wanders around Tokyo every day, randomly refreshing, and also Maybe it really happened to happen, and then I had nothing to do. I wanted to see what the employees were doing, so I followed the school all the way...

  Well, in short, label it as "suspicious" and investigate slowly in the future.

  Conan gave Amuro a stamp in his heart.

  …

   Now, most of the puzzles in the teaching have been solved, and the people who died in the club have also died. Several groups of people are not good to stay in the teaching building and are ready to leave.

   On the way to the school gate, Conan looked at the back of "Amuro Toru", and then thought about his unreasonable behavior and attitude today, his thoughts diverged, and some memories emerged.

  Speaking of which, the last time I saw Toru Amuro was when Jiang Xia was drunk and abducted by the new member of the anonymous organization who would disguise and have a bad personality.

Conan remembered that when he was tracing Jiang Xia's whereabouts, he and Amuro met suddenly in the hotel's monitoring room, and then Amuro left him after finding out the clues, and used the "private detective method" to find someone... This is It made Conan depressed for a while, but fortunately, Jiang Xia arrived home smoothly that night.

   Hearing Jiang Xia say that he returned to the city by rubbing Amuro's car. From this point of view, it seems that Amuro is also credited with finding someone. This boss doesn't seem to be a bad person.

   But combined with today's events, Conan has a new question in his heart:

How did Mr.   Amuro find that anonymous member who is good at disguise?

  Anonymous people have always come and gone without a trace, even if the police can't find them. The reporters and some senior detectives who pretended to be Scuds have never successfully caught the anonymous skirt.

   The high-profile Anonymous Miss is still like this, not to mention a person who is proficient in disguise. But Amuro Toru was able to find the anonymous whereabouts on the day he discovered the clues...

   A common saying suddenly popped out of Conan's mind.

  ——The only one who can beat yourself is yourself.

  ... Could it be that Mr. Amuro is actually one of the anonymous members?

  No, it shouldn't be. When he was in Izu, Mr. Amuro was once stabbed by Xiaobai's anesthesia needle.

  ...But no one can guarantee that Xiaobai will not stab his anonymous accomplice.

  No, no, after the police car took the suspect away, Mr. Amuro once asked them if the murderer had mentioned "that little boy", which showed that he didn't know much about Xiaobai.

  ...But conversely, the question at the time seemed to be understood as that Amuro Toru was asking about the status of his accomplices.

  …

  Conan's thinking jumped and jumped, and he couldn't be sure for a while.

   He stared at An Shitou's back, stared at Jiang Xia's new acquaintance, his face was solemn, and he felt that everything was full of mysteries.

  Speaking of which, if Toru Amuro is really an anonymous member, then he should also have that fancy and complicated black "z" tattoo on his body.

  Miss Anonymous's tattoo is on her face, and Xiaobai's tattoo is on her neck, all of which are easily exposed.

I haven't seen it on Mr. Anshi for the time being, but this can't be used as a basis for excluding him - after all, Anonymous may not have a rule that "tattoos must be tattooed in a conspicuous place", only two samples of Anonymous and Xiaobai are not enough. draw valid conclusions.

   Who is Toru Amuro...

  …

  Belmode was walking on the campus, when he suddenly felt a very penetrating gaze.

   She frowned and turned her head to see Conan who was watching her from behind.

  “…”

   Belmode's frowning brows stretched again.

  coolguy seems to be wary of bourbon, which is a good thing.

   And Bourbon seems to be a very friendly person, and he is also very good at disguising. coolguy would have this attitude towards bourbon, maybe uzzo had hinted at it...

  Thinking of this, Belmod's peeped dissatisfaction fell into the fire like snowflakes and disappeared instantly, turning into a few strands of warmth.

  …

When    arrived at the school gate, the dean turned the corner nonchalantly and walked away quickly.

   Teacher Xiao Lin wanted to do the same, but before she moved, she suddenly saw Jiang Xia turn her head and her eyes fell on her.

   Kobayashi Chengko shuddered: "What, what's wrong?"

  There are street lamps at the entrance of the school, and there is a little bright light in the security room next to it, and the figure and face of Kobayashi Sumiko are clearly reflected.

   Looking at it this way, I realized that she really looks like Police Officer Sato.

   Jiang Xia instinctively pulled the hem of his clothes to cover the pocket with the stick.

   Then he pointed to the children who were eavesdropping on the side, and asked clearly, "Do they have other duties in the near future? Or, are there other arrangements for them to stay in school?"

  ... It's rare to have a reason to go out with a juvenile detective team in an open and honest area. If you don't come back with shikigami and murderousness, you always feel that your life is not full enough.

   Teacher Xiaolin heard this question, shook his head with strong desire to survive, and whispered: "Actually, we rarely occupy students' spare time, and we don't have to work so late on duty... There will be no such thing again."

   "Is that so..." Jiang Xia's eyes moved and fell on the four children, showing a gentle smile, "I'll pick you up after school tomorrow."

  The three children huddled together, trembling, with the same despair in their eyes.

   They looked at Teacher Xiaolin as if asking for help, but saw that the introverted teacher kept his head down after barely answering Jiang Xia's question.

  ——She was still immersed in the shadow of social death that she practiced late at night but was caught by the students on the spot. At this time, she didn't want to look at anyone at all, she just wanted to find a shell to hide herself in. Naturally, she didn't notice the silent screams of the children.

  The three children had to turn their attention to another adult present, "Amuro Toru".

   This time, both sides looked at each other successfully.

  The young detective team suddenly had a little look of anticipation in their eyes, hoping that this good-tempered blond older brother could understand the innocent children's wishes to escape the movie.

   However, although "Amuro Toru" looked at them, his mind was obviously elsewhere.

  "He" continued Jiang Xia's words just now, and said with some regret: "I just have something to do tomorrow, so I can't come here."

  Conan rolled his eyes and glanced at the strange boss: Why did he answer the call so naturally, obviously no one invited him to go with him...

  Thinking of this, Conan touched his chin warily.

  Although all previous attempts at Amuroto, including telling the Mumu police department that Amuroto was holding a gun, etc., have only received normal feedback - no matter how Amuroto investigates, he is a serious detective with no problem with his identity.

   But Conan still intuitively felt that this person had secrets and problems.

   Especially after contact today.

  ... Do you want to find an excuse and let Jiang Xia trick Amuro into a hot spring or swim?

  In this way, if Toru Amuro is really anonymous, maybe he can use the parts he deliberately concealed to infer where the "z" tattoo on his body is hidden.

   Of course, in the case of holding a tattoo, Amuro will definitely refuse to go to the place where he must show his body.

   So, pay attention to his attitude when he refuses the invitation.

  Conan felt ok and began to work **** planning the details.

  …

   I was delayed in the teaching building for a while, and the night was already deep.

  Mr. Kobayashi slowed down a bit, then waved goodbye very decisively and walked away quickly.

   "Amuro Toru" glanced at the rest of the people - a Jiang Xia + four children, and thought about the car that he drove today.

   Then I found that although it was a little squeezed, four children in the back seat could actually sit out.

   It's really not possible. You can also let Jiang Xia hold Conan and sit in the passenger seat next to her. During this time period, it should not be easy for the traffic police to catch...

  Bermaud thought about it, and the corners of his mouth twitched indistinctly.

   She turned the car key on her finger very naturally: "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

   Jiang Xia glanced at "Anshitou"'s increasingly thin murderous aura, and then thought about the magic of the young detective team: "No need, their homes are not far from here, I will send them back."

  “…”

  Bermode stopped turning the key, slightly unwilling.

But considering that she is now wearing Bourbon's skin, and Bourbon is not quite like the kind of person who will make this kind of invitation over and over again... plus Conan's eyes looking at her are getting more and more wary and weird, Belle Mord finally swallowed his words.

  ... She plans to play again as Toru Amuro, so coolguy can't be too vigilant.

   So after "Amuro Toru" was rejected, he nodded his head naturally, turned and walked away, his pace was dashing, but for some reason he seemed to be walking slowly.

   But it's not far from her car after all.

   Not long after, her slightly lonely figure disappeared in the car, and the car drove away quickly and disappeared at the end of the road.

   A gust of wind blew past and rolled up the fallen leaves at the school gate.

   Now, there are only Jiang Xia and a few children left here - the director fled faster than Mr. Xiaolin, Jiang Xia didn't even notice when he slipped away.

"Let's go." Jiang Xia beckoned to the children, ready to send them home one by one to fulfill their elders' duties, um... I'll also check to see if there are any sudden murders along the way, or anything that cuts through the night sky. scream.

  …

   After half an hour.

   Jiang Xia stared at the back of Ayumi who ran quickly into the gate, and sighed in disappointment.

   Yuanta and Mitsuhiko's home is closer to the school, and the two children had already arrived home long before they came to Ayumi's home.

   Now Ayumi also went back, but nothing happened on the way...

   Jiang Xia took the remaining Conan to the Maori Detective Agency, and no longer had much hope for what triggered the case tonight.

  ——In my impression, Conan has to be with someone in order to encounter murders frequently. In the case of being completely alone, the case will be relatively less, perhaps this is some kind of restraint in this world against the power of death... Jiang Xia's thinking went wrong for a second, and then quickly returned to the main topic.

   In short, there are no other supporting characters staying with Conan now, and the probability of a murder is actually very low.

Jiang Xia, who was full of expectations for the juvenile detective team, at this time, spent half an hour breaking a strangely shaped stone in a free exploration game, and then found that it was really just a stone, and there was no surprise in it. .

  ...Fortunately, he has more time, not less than a short while.

   And, anyway, he has already made an appointment to watch a movie together tomorrow, and he has already confirmed the situation with Mr. Xiaolin. It is not so easy for the children to find excuses to pigeon him.

  If nothing else, we can see you in the cinema tomorrow, and this kind of entertainment has always been a place with a high incidence of murders.

   If there is an accident, then 80% of the accident will turn into murderous and shikigami, wouldn’t it be better…

   Jiang Xia felt that a new mysterious gift package was placed in front of him.

   His mind quickly became calm and expectant, and his pace eased.

  …

  Conan couldn't understand the ups and downs of his neighbors, and he couldn't find Jiang Xia's subtle changes in expression in the dim light.

   He yawned and saw that all the children who were in the way had left, so he planned to ask Jiang Xia about An Shitou.

   However, just as he spoke, a vibrating bell suddenly came from beside him.

   - Jiang Xia's cell phone rang.

   In order to prevent missing news and some important customers, Jiang Xia cautiously switched the phone back to vibrate mode after discovering that neither Mr. Xiaolin nor the director would be murderous.

The    ringing is for everyday mobile phones.

   This is just right, otherwise if it is the organization's special machine, then he has to think about how to turn off Conan, or how to pretend that he didn't hear Gin's call.

   Jiang Xia took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.

   is a call from Dr. A Li.

  “…”

  If I remember correctly, Dr. A Li should be still attending the society in Kyushu.

   It was because of the business trip that the grandfather passed on the matter of "inviting the children to watch a movie" to him for help... The doctor won't come back early, right?

   Jiang Xia answered the phone hesitantly, and secretly decided that no matter what the doctor said, she would go to the movies with them tomorrow, or at least have a chance encounter at the cinema.

  Although the Gomera series of monster movies loved by the Youth Detective Corps is a bit young for a high school student, Jiang Xia Tongzhi is a person who has no childhood. He is interested in children's movies, isn't it very reasonable...

   A series of thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

   Jiang Xia quickly pressed the answer button in a normal tone: "Hello? Doctor."

   Dr. A Li's cheerful voice came from the receiver: "How is it? Did you enjoy watching the movie?"

   "Actually I couldn't go today..." Jiang Xia briefly explained what happened tonight, "So I asked them to go again tomorrow."

   "Haha, those children are still so naughty." Dr. A Li twirled his chubby beard, remembering the lively but bearish appearance of several children, and his tone became relaxed.
