Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 550 Rejecting the arrangement of fate

   In addition, Toru Amuro continued to rule out: This would not be because Jiang Xia set up a mechanism.

   Jiang Xia had been sitting next to him, still wearing his seat belt. Even if he looked straight ahead while driving, if the person next to him made a small movement that could break the tire, or set up a similar mechanism in the car in advance, he would never have been able to detect it.

  …so how did these tires break?

   There are still many things in this world that cannot be fully explained by science.

  Before, Amuro always felt that those things were far away from him.

   But now...

  “…”

When this observation on Jiang Xia is over, and when you have some free time, maybe you can try to take Conan and Jiang Xia out together, and then find an excuse to apply for more infrared devices, pinhole cameras, hunting nets, etc., all of them. Orientation monitoring of your own vehicle.

  There are things that are difficult to explain, but they must not be too many. Perhaps, this is actually a puncture achieved by some ingenious method, but he has not been able to see through it yet...

Jiang Xia seemed to think so too - Anshitou saw Jiang Xia look at the tires for a while, then began to observe the frame of the trunk lid, and pressed the rear seat a few times, as if thinking about the unknown creature sneaking into the trunk and breaking it. The way of tires.

   Seeing this, he took the opportunity to type an email and send it to his subordinates.

   - Immediately take a spare tire, pretend to be a tourist or a family visitor, drive "passing by" here, and pick them up.

   In addition, there are spare infrared cameras on the side of the subordinates.

   Taking into account his own experience, when Amuro sent a message, he asked Feng Jianyu to arrange two opposite instruments to monitor the trunk in all directions to prevent dead spots.

  In this way, even if Kazami Yu had a flat tire when he came to pick them up, he could find the culprit of the punctured tire.

  …

   After solving the current predicament, Amuro put away his mobile phone and glanced at the faint light emitting from a few dozen meters away.

  ——There seems to be a mansion there, where travelers with flat tires can stay.

  …but he doesn’t go.

Beside   , Jiang Xia rummaged in the trunk for a while, and seemed unable to find any useful clues, so he had to stop.

   He straightened up, followed Amuro Toru's line of sight to the light source, and suggested, "Why don't you go over there to stay for one night and wait for the towing company to go to work tomorrow, and then find someone to tow the car away?"

   Amuro Toru shook his head: He wanted to wait for his subordinates to come over and set off overnight.

   Of course, the real reason cannot be told directly to Jiang Xia.

   Amuro Toru quickly found his reasoning.

   He showed a gloomy smile that belonged to Bourbon, as if he knew all the truth:

   "Don't you think it's too coincidental? - We happened to have a puncture here, and there was another mansion near the puncture point. It was as if someone was forcing us to go to that house."

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ... a little guilty.

   But on second thought, unless the boss has completely abandoned the concept of science, in his eyes, the co-pilot who has been sitting quietly next to him to make up for sleep obviously has no chance to attack the tires.

   So Jiang Xia kept his face calm, and nodded along with Anshitou's words: "Indeed."

   At the same time, he began to think: If the boss is determined not to stay overnight, how can he let him in as reasonably as possible...

   At this time, Wutiangu fell from the side and landed on Jiang Xia's shoulder as if nothing had happened.

  ——This is the place where it used to like to stay, and it was later occupied by the new ghost Matsuda Jinpei of unknown status. At this time, Matsuda Jinping moved to the other side because of his guilty conscience, crowded with other ghosts, and this place was temporarily vacant.

   Misttengu took a peek at Matsuda Jinping, folded his wings nervously and sat down.

   found that the other party had no intention of coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his knees and reminisced about the good life in the past when he had an exclusive site.

   Then he returned to business and told Jiang Xia that he had peeked at the content of the text message sent by Amurotou just now.

  ——Amuro arranged for the police "passers-by" to come to meet and rescue the two who were forced to break down.

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ... No wonder the boss is so confident that he would rather stay in the cold woods in the middle of the night than enter the house. It turned out that he was still thinking of leaving.

  Speaking of which, although it is not difficult to break Kazami Yuya's tires again, as far as Jiang Xia knows, in addition to Kazami Yuya's car, there are many other police cars behind.

   If you tie all of them one by one, the workload will be too much. And it always felt like that, the intent would become too obvious. The incident of a puncture will also reduce the sense of mystery, which will easily arouse the boss's desire to explore and slow down the speed at which he feels the fate of the "puncture"...

   So let’s change to a slightly more technical idea.

for example……

   Let Kazumi Yu also disappear in this wood for a while?

  ——Although the boss is a bit devilish in terms of work, he is not the kind of person who can continue to be ruthless as if nothing happened after his subordinates disappear.

   In other words, if Kazami Yu, who came to pick him up, suddenly disappeared, Amuro Toru should also stay nearby during this period of time until the police found him.

   In this way, Jiang Xia will have the opportunity to stay for a while next to the nearby house that looks rather gloomy and has the potential to give birth to ghosts.

  …

Thinking this way, when Amuro said to him, "Someone may deliberately spread sharp objects on the road to puncture the tires and lead people into the house, so it's best not to go there directly, but to check the situation in the car first", Jiang Xia had no idea. Dissenting nodded, and returned to the car with Amuro Toru.

   Then yawned, leaned back in the chair, and entered the doze process proficiently.

   At the same time, he released the shikigami in the tattoo space, letting the shikigami drift away. Eventually, it was transformed into puppet clay under a stout tree and formed into a pile.

  The puppet emerged from nothing, and as Miss Spider jumped into it, under the tree, a figure wearing a white kimono and a hat of the same color took shape. It was mixed in the thick fog, like a misty vapor.

  Jiang Xia consciously went in, and adjusted his bamboo hat unaccustomed to make it block the tattoo on his forehead.

After   , with the slight sound of fabric tearing, the puppet protruded eight slender spider legs from behind. Jiang Xia recognized the direction and started walking quickly through the forest.

  ——When signing a contract with ghosts, ghosts have a chance to awaken special skills.

   Some of these skills are very useful, some of them are...complicated.

   As for Miss Spider, her awakening skills are related to the legend of her hometown. It's a little more complicated, but if used properly, it can also provide a good boost.

Before   , Jiang Xia gave this skill the name of "Q&A in Heaven". When activating the skill, the user has to ask the target, "Do you think there is a heaven in this world?", "What kind of place is that?", and "Would you like to come and see it with me?".
