Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 535 Rescued Strange Creatures

   After eliminating his own problems in an instant.

   Jiang Xia followed Amuro Toru's line of sight and looked forward.

   Then suddenly I understood.

  ——In front of the side, a luxury car with reinforced and modified traces was parked.

   A burly man in a suit stood beside the car, like a bodyguard and a driver.

   This man pushed the door to get out of the car just now, hurriedly stood on the side of the road and waved, stopping their car.

  …

  In the wilderness, when he suddenly encountered a man in a black suit, Toru Amuro instinctively became vigilant.

   But soon, he found that one of the tires of the car had obviously deflated, as if it had been punctured by something sharp - in short, a puncture.

   Amuro Toru: "..."

   I’ve seen a flat tire a lot, but it’s very rare to encounter someone else’s flat tire.

  ...how should I put it, in addition to sympathy, my mood is a bit complicated, and there is a little bit of happiness and superiority that I didn't have a flat tire...cough, this shouldn't be.

  Amuro was in the space where his thoughts were gathered.

The unlucky driver of the car in front wrapped his suit tightly and trotted over: "Excuse me, can you help us to take us to a place where there are people nearby? After we had a puncture, we kept the air conditioner on to keep warm, and the oil was about to run out, and the rescue was always on. not here……"

   As someone who had a flat tire, Toru Amuro understood the driver's desperation.

   When this unfamiliar driver ran over just now, he looked at the place where the gun could easily be hidden, and found that the man didn't seem to be carrying a weapon - at least from the front.

   So he nodded: "Call the passengers in your car to come over. You said 'men' just now, there should be other people in that car."

   The driver breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully. Then he trotted back to his car, said a few words into the slitted window, and opened the door.

   During this process, Amuro scanned the driver's back with an X-ray-like gaze, and found that there were no traces of weapons hidden behind his waist, legs, etc., which made him feel a little relieved.

  Amuro Toru certainly won't leave a few citizens who may have problems frozen here.

Fortunately, with Jiang Xia by his side at this time, Bourbon's various good deeds can all find suitable excuses - for example, unless the person in the car in front is completely silenced, he will not help when passing by. It will damage Jiang Xia's positive image and will not help him continue to enter the upper class. And if you silence it for this trivial matter, it doesn't meet the organization's low-key surface requirements...

   In short, save it.

  …

   After half a minute.

   Amuro Toru looked at the person who got out of the car in front, was silent for a moment, and began to regret it.

  ——After the driver ran back and opened the door, two women got out of the car.

   One of them looked grown-up with mature curls.

  The other is slightly childish.

   Although both of them were wrapped in scarves, Toru Amuro quickly recognized the younger one from his hairstyle and body shape.

  ——Suzuki Sonoko.

  ...another Jiangxia acquaintance.

  Thinking of this, Anshi looked at Jiang Xia subconsciously.

   I saw Jiang Xia was also staring at the visitor. After recognizing Suzuki Sonoko, his mood seemed to have improved a lot, and he waved his hand from the car window to greet his classmates.

   The rear car door opened and closed, and the three people got into the car wrapped in the cold wind.

  …

Taking into account the need to pack luggage, equip tires, and perhaps pack corpses, although Amuro Toru still drove a Mazda this time, he did not choose a sports car with a relatively narrow space before, but chose a sports car that was more suitable for long-distance travel. The three people in the back were barely able to sit away.

  Suzuki Sonoko was sitting right behind Jiang Xia.

   She hugged the back of the co-pilot's seat and whimpered, "Fortunately I met you, otherwise I might freeze to death in the mountains... People are so scared."

   Amuro Toru started the car and glanced in her direction silently: Really? Can you put away the too bright smile when you say you are afraid? Also, don't rub your saliva on his pillowcase...

  Although he was quite critical of Suzuki Sonoko's behavior, Amuro Toru didn't say anything in the end and drove silently.

  …

   In addition to Suzuki Sonoko and her driver, the other passenger is Suzuki Sonoko's sister-Suzuki Ayako, who has met several times before.

   Jiang Xia remembered that there were many villas in her name that had been murdered.

He looked at Sonoko Suzuki through the rearview mirror, and spoke in a friendly way, intending to comfort the sisters, who seemed to be frightened, and, if possible, take a peek at their trip—for a short period of time, it seemed more The boss has a future: "Why did you suddenly go to such a remote place?"

Suzuki Sonoko rubbed his arms to keep warm, squinted his eyes slightly, and said romantically like a poem: "Because fate guides us to meet... Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we went out to play together. You've always been busy lately, next time you go to Osaka We must be together when the time comes, and we’ll agree!”

  Suzuki Ayako is a gentle and sensible adult unlike her younger sister.

Although Jiang Xia, who was invited, nodded happily, but Suzuki Ayako noticed Toru Amuro's disgusting gaze next to her, so she reached out and touched Suzuki Sonoko's head, pulled her sister back with a little force, and pressed her back on the seat. , away from the co-pilot's headrest.

Then he replied seriously for her: "In our newly opened museum, we plan to reserve a European medieval exhibition hall, part of which will display vampire-related exhibitions - Mr. Torokura Daisuke is a well-known expert in this regard. Just as I am free recently, we plan to visit him and seek cooperation."

  ... Of course, the main purpose is to come out and play.

   Although Daisuke Torokura is far less wealthy than the Suzuki consortium, as a novelist who is quite arrogant and fanatical about vampire culture, he will certainly not easily lend out real treasures.

  If you want to appreciate those precious collections face to face, you can only visit Daisuke Torakura's residence - "Dracula's Villa".

   "Hucang..." Amuro Toru felt that this surname was too familiar, as if he had only heard of it recently.

   followed him and remembered: "Is that the famous couple of novelists?"

  ——A while ago, Jiang Xia received a request from the killer "Silver Fox", when a group of people went to climb the mountain. Among those who climbed the mountain on the same day, there was Huokura Etsuko.

   Unlike her husband, she is better at writing mystery and assassination novels.

  ...another acquaintance?

   "That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko's attention was on Jiang Xia, but he didn't notice the complicated expression in Amuro's eyes.

   She secretly escaped from her sister's hand, and put it back on the back of the co-pilot's seat.

"Hucang's house is built on the top of a gloomy cliff. It is said that his family is full of vampire-related things. In addition, in most of his novels, the protagonists are vampires, so Hucang Daisuke gradually added a 'de' Mr. Gura's nickname.

   "His villa is also called 'Dracula's Villa'. Look, you can already see it from a distance - that building with the spire."
