Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 583 Jiang Xia's life is not easy until now

   Kidd waited for a while, but didn't wait for the second half of the sentence, and Amuro Toru didn't seem to have any plans to continue.

   So he nodded. It is a response to the first half of the reminder.

   At the same time, he murmured to himself: According to Jiang Xia's skills, it would be easy to deal with one or two puncture offenders. But when Amuro heard the words just now, his face became very ugly...

   Was he worried that Jiang Xia would take the opportunity to run away?

   Don't let Jiang Xia go to the gas station together, maybe he also doesn't want Jiang Xia to contact the staff there and pass on the news.

  …the impact of a first impression cannot be underestimated.

   "Jiang Xia" was calm, but he was always vigilant about Anshitou in his heart.

   Kidd's control of expressions has always been in place. In addition, in this world, there are only a few people who can easily make it to this level.

   So Anshitou didn't expect that he would buy some spare tires by himself, and when he came back, the person in front of him who looked exactly like Jiang Xia had already changed the core.

   Although he felt that Jiang Xia was a little impulsive this time, judging from some rumors in the police station, Jiang Xia used to chase prisoners with a stick. This kind of behavior is not abrupt when it is put on him...

   Amuro Toru couldn't see through the disguise right away.

   is just the same as usual when facing Jiang Xia: "First put on the spare tire together."

   "Jiang Xia" nodded and went to the trunk to find the jack.

The moment    opened the lid of the box, Kidd's eyes narrowed slightly.

  In the corner of the trunk, there are some inconspicuous line marks and interfaces, which are traces of monitoring equipment.

  "..." This, is this a device used to check the situation when people are **** and locked inside, to prevent the hostages from suffocating or escaping?

  ... This boss really has a problem.

   And the problem is huge!

   Kidd was more vigilant. He pretended not to notice anything, found the jack, adjusted the luggage, and put the extra spare tire in.

  …

   When two people equip tires together, the movements are inevitably too large.

   Kidd, who is very observant, keenly discovered the gun that Amuro had hidden on his body. Suddenly there is a feeling of "right on".

  ——No wonder just now, after the sneak attack on Jiang Xia, he just pulled out a sedative gun, but Jiang Xia decisively rushed into the bushes with many obstacles when he made the action of drawing the gun.

   Now, in Jiang Xia's eyes, it's probably not a sedative gun at all, but a real gun that can kill people. No wonder he is so cautious...

   When you put the spare tire on and get in the car again.

   Kidd glanced at Amuro who was driving, and sighed for Jiang Xia inwardly.

  ...It's not easy to be a detective these days. You have to guard against theft and the boss. I heard that private detectives usually have to deal with a lot of secrets. Maybe Jiang Xia accidentally broke the secret of a big man when he was working. Looking for opportunities to meet customer requirements as naturally as possible.

  Amuro always took Jiang Xia to a remote place when he had nothing to do, maybe he was secretly looking for a chance to get off the phone. It's just that Jiang Xia has a cautious personality, strong observation skills, and has long been prepared, so Anshitou has been unable to succeed.

  ...Fortunately, now that there is a phantom thief to save him, Jiang Xia doesn't have to fight with this scumbag boss anymore.

   Kidd felt that he had done a good deed, looking at the drowsy sky outside the window, his mood improved.

  …

   Trying to go to Tottori City on the way.

  Amuro glanced to the side occasionally, and found that Jiang Xia didn't make up his sleep, and looked down as if thinking about something.

   "..." Maybe thinking about tires?

  ——Since Jiang Xia saw the figure in the woods, maybe he could get some key inspiration from it. Then, just like when solving the case before, he will quickly sort out the cause and effect, and find out the unknown creature that gnawed on the tire.

  Thinking of this, Amuro had a vague expectation in his heart.

   However, he didn't wait for the scene he was expecting to find out. On the way, suddenly something happened again.

  ——Dark night, suburban road, two cars in tandem.

   Amuro Toru was about to overtake. But at this moment, through the car window, he suddenly vaguely heard a familiar "bang--" sound from the car in front.

   followed, and the tire on the side of the car in front slumped, and the body became wobbly. Soon, the small Felt pulled over and stopped.

   followed Amuro who stepped on the brakes: "..."

  In the wilderness, there seems to be no signal on this part of the road. There are very few vehicles here and there.

   If you just leave the person in the car in front here. In the worst case, in two days, you might see reports of the unfortunate death of the people in the car.

  … All in all, it’s hard to leave it alone.

   Amuro Toru just instinctively slowed down to prevent hitting the car in front.

   After judging the situation, he sighed inwardly and had to stop the whole car.

   At the same time, considering that the co-pilot was still sitting with a member of the organization who did not know his undercover identity, Toru Amuro usually found an excuse to do good things.

He clicked his tongue impatiently, and said in a low voice, "It happened that the tire punctured in front of us, so I can't pretend not to see it—it's fine if they die in the mountains, but if you're lucky, you can go out alive, It is found that the license plate number of the rear car is the same as the car you used to solve the case a few times before.

   Kidd: "..."

  ... Even for the sake of fame, expecting others to die, this boss is really not a good person.

   Kidd speculated about Jiang Xia's possible reaction at this time, nodded silently, and did not continue.

   The distance between the two cars quickly narrowed.

  Amuro's face changed from a gloomy face to a sunny and friendly part-time worker in an instant.

   He pulled down the car window under the complicated gaze of "Jiang Xia" and looked at the unfortunate car with a flat tire: "Are you all right, do you have a spare tire on the car?"

   With the headlights, I could vaguely see two people sitting in the car.

  …

   Amuro Toru's voice sounded a little friendly and compassionate.

   Kidd glanced at him from behind, thinking that this guy's acting was pretty good.

   While muttering, the door of the car in front opened, and an old woman with a squat stature opened the door and stepped out of the driver's seat.

She looked down at the broken tire and sighed: "My baby Felt probably won't be able to walk. I forgot to put the spare tire back after I left my luggage..." She then looked up at Amuro Toru , "Young man, is it convenient to take me to the nearby Twilight Annex? I have to go there for a dinner party."

   "...Twilight Annex?" Amuro Toru vaguely had some impressions of this place name, but he was not impressed.

   However, there was one thing he knew.

  ——This place, the name sounds like some foreign mansion far away from the city.

   And along the way, the deep mountain mansion he encountered...
