Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 585 Why did you cheat again

   Qianjian turned to look at the co-pilot "Jiang Xia" and was stunned at first, and recognized that this was a colleague.

   Then smiled: "It seems that you don't need to tell me just now, you will also go to the Dusk Annex... Young people, come and help me carry my luggage."

   Kidd: "...?"

  ... The old lady has a ready-made young guy in her car, why do you want to drag him to carry the luggage?

   Could it be that the natural scroll is a distant junior of hers, and Qianjian's mother-in-law has favored him as her grandson? ...Hmph, spoiling is a must.

   Kidd scolded Senjian detective's education method, silently got out of the car under the distinction of treatment, and resignedly removed the luggage on Felt and stuffed it into the Amuro Toru car.

   Amuro Toru also regained his senses and got out of the car.

   He glanced at Qianjian Granny's delicate and small suitcase, then looked at Jiang Xia who was driving the puppet, and asked casually, "Where's your luggage?"

   "Forgot to bring it." The curly-haired young man, Jiang Xia in a vest, said casually, "Since I'm going to that annex, the owner should help prepare the necessary supplies."

   "..." Amuro was silent for a while.

   The sound is so similar, could it be some relative of Matsuda? The timbre is indeed related to heredity, as well as this natural volume, as well as many details of the facial features...

Next to   , Granny Qianjian nodded approvingly when she saw that her suitcase was carefully placed.

   Then she opened the car door and got into the back seat of the car.

   Jiang Xia also walked to the other side and sat down.

  Amuro glanced at him thoroughly, and returned to the car with Kid, who was dressed as Jiang Xia.

   Soon, the vehicle began to follow the instructions of Qianjian's mother-in-law and headed for the Dusk Annex.

  …

   Amuro Toru does know the easy chair detective Senjian-in-law. I didn't recognize them at first, but after a few chats, I put people and reputations on the same page.

   After a few polite words with his colleagues, he inadvertently changed the subject to something he was more concerned about.

  Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia in the rearview mirror, and asked in a natural tone, "You seem to have a Tokyo accent, are you from Tokyo too?"

   Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the window and nodded.

  "..." This quiet personality doesn't quite resemble Matsuda's, and Amuro said as if chatting, "There is nothing worth seeing around here. Are you here to visit relatives? Or are you entrusted?"

"Oh? Didn't you receive the invitation letter? There is also a check for 2 million yen. Some of my friends—several famous detectives have received it." Senkan Kodai's old voice came, "Before I saw the report that Jiang Xia solved the case in Hyogo County, and I found him in the car just now, so I thought you must have come to the appointment."

   Said, she rummaged through her handbag for a while and found an invitation letter. Pass it forward through the gap between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat.

   "Jiang Xia" on the co-pilot took it and opened it to check.

   Amuro Toru also glanced at him.

   This invitation letter has white characters on a black background and looks very unlucky, like an invitation from the **** of death.

  Compared with the packaging, the content is slightly normal - please go to the Dusk Annex for the dinner party.

   However, there are clearly also noteworthy points.

   "The son of a phantom abandoned by God..." Amuro first noticed this second and lengthy signature, and after a moment of silence, he thought, "Kid?"

"Jiang Xia" next to    was suddenly named, and he stretched out the stationery uncomfortably.

  ...I didn't expect this unscrupulous boss to solve the mystery quite fast. Before, he thought that An Shitou was the kind of scum capitalist who had no ability and had no choice but to squeeze Jiang Xia to improve his reputation.

  …

   Kidd had actually seen this kind of invitation a long time ago.

  Although the sender's signature is him, it is not actually sent by him, but someone is pretending to be his name and calling detectives.

   This is also the reason why Kidd wanted to mix in and check the specific situation.

   Kidd pretended to read the letter, folded the letter again, and handed it back to Chikan Yoyo in the back seat.

   Then shook his head: "We were on a business trip recently and didn't pay attention to the office's mailbox."

"Really?" Qianjian's mother-in-law put away the invitation letter and smiled, "I've come here, why don't you stay overnight in the Twilight Annex, with the famous detective Jiang Xia there, the owner there will definitely not mind. Two more guests."

   Amuro Toru nodded thoughtfully: "Are all detectives invited this time?"

   After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xia, who was wearing a pine skin in the back seat again: "I've been too busy recently, and I haven't paid much attention to the news of the detective world... Is this the latest rookie?"

"Heisawa is not a detective, he came with me." Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't take the initiative to introduce himself, Qianjian Jiangdai only mentioned the name Jiang Xia told her, and the rest didn't say much, "It seems to be coming soon. ." She pointed out the window, "I was right. Not far."

  "..." Kurosawa?

   This surname that I have heard occasionally reminded Amuro Toru of someone he knew—a busy figure of Yin Changzhi flashed in his mind, and his mood was -1.

   At the same time, I felt that this was not in line with my own speculation: the person in my car, from the face, to the style of dressing, to the way of dressing... In all aspects, the person who has something to do with Matsuda doesn't even have the surname Matsuda?

   Also, relatives may not have the same surname.

   And if it is the person who came back from the dead, it is more normal to use a pseudonym... Wait, what are you thinking? Resurrection from the dead is simply impossible. If you have time to think about it, you might as well think about suspended animation...

   The vehicle quickly passed a bridge.

  Tru Amuro raised his head while thinking, and looked diagonally upwards through the car window.

   The road ahead is winding, and at the end stands a building that occupies a large area. There were dark clouds above the head, and there were faint thunder and lightning rolling. The dim yellow light came out from the window of the annex at dusk. It failed to bring light and warmth, but looked like monster eyes exposed in the cracks.

  …

   At dusk, the courtyard gate of the annexe opened wide.

  Through the sparse and poorly repaired fences, you can see the flat open-air parking lot in the courtyard.

   Someone had already arrived. At this moment, when I glanced over, the parking lot was full of luxury cars.

   Amuro Toru also quickly found a position and stopped.

After    stopped, Jiang Xia and Qianjian's mother-in-law pushed the door and got out of the car.

   Kidd, dressed in Jiang Xiapi, went over consciously and helped Qianjian Jiangdai move her luggage down.

   As soon as I put the suitcase away, I heard the driver's door rattle.

Kidd was stunned, stood up and looked over, and saw that Amuro had come down too - this unscrupulous boss had locked the door of the car as if nothing had happened, and looked like he planned to go to a banquet with Qianjian mother-in-law and the others. .

   Kidd: "...?"

   He remembered just now, when Qianjian's mother-in-law said she wanted to take a ride, Amuro Toru looked very reluctant. From Kidd's point of view, with Anshito concentrating on plotting Jiang Xia's actions, he probably wouldn't be willing to stay in the other hall with many people, not to mention that there are a bunch of detectives in the other hall.

   So Kidd already has tools hidden in his hands and can break the car at any time.

did not expect……
