Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 59 Second Bandage Man

   The Shinkansen cannot be parked for too long, and the vehicle restarts quickly.

   Jiang Xia and his three classmates returned to their original positions, and the atmosphere was much quieter than before.

  Suzuki Sonoko was also in memory of the martyrs.

   But after a while, she looked at Mao Lilan, who was sad, and at Jiang Xia, who was obviously not doing anything, but seemed to be suddenly tired, and she seemed to be covering up her sadness with sleepiness... Suddenly, she realized that it was not very good.

  ...I heard that emotions are contagious.

   Never let Jiang Xia soak in this sad atmosphere!

   Sonoko Suzuki cheered up and began to talk to Jiang Xia in her sister's villa, trying to make the atmosphere light.

   She thought that although she encountered a murder case again, it doesn't matter, there is still a forest villa to recuperate.

The scenery there is good, and there is no signal - that is to say, after arriving at the place, you can no longer play with your mobile phone, and you can only communicate with people in your walk. A good place in Jiang Xia's heart to replace that **** doctor!

  …

   Two hours later.

  Suzuki Sonoko began to question his previous thoughts.

  ...This trip can really leave a good memory?

   She hid behind Jiang Xia, stuck her head out vigilantly, and looked at a suspension bridge in front of her.

  ——The suspension bridge spans a deep mountain stream with a tumbling stream below, and across the bridge is the Suzuki family villa.

  …

   Just now, Suzuki Sonoko was very happy when she saw the villa from a distance. That means they're finally at their destination and can drop their bags, rest and have fun.

When    stepped on the suspension bridge, Suzuki Sonoko saw a person on the bridge.

  The man was wearing a black robe and a hood, with his back to them, and was walking towards the villa.

  Suzuki Sonoko thought it was her sister's friend.

   However, after saying hello from a distance, the man in black robe on the bridge turned his head, revealing a face that was densely covered with bandages.

  In the dimly lit evening, deep in the mountains and forests, I suddenly encountered such a thing that I don't know if it was a human or a ghost...

  Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan gasped at the same time, flashed behind Jiang Xia, and shivered like a sieve: "You, did you see it!?"

   Of course Jiang Xia saw it.

   Not only did he see it, but he also smelled a murderous aura along the mountain wind blowing.

  ...It's a pity that the quality of murderousness is very average.

  …

   The bandaged man in front didn't stay for too long, he ran away quickly, quickly crossed the suspension bridge, and disappeared into the dark woods near the villa.

   With no one in his way, Jiang Xia planned to continue walking.

   But just after taking a step, his arms tightened, and he was dragged back to the place by two girls who were given a huge power buff because of fear.

  Suzuki Sonoko stared at the place where the bandaged man disappeared, and asked suspiciously, "That man is also going to the villa? Why did he dress up like that?"

   Jiang Xia thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "It should be because the mountain is windy and windy, that's why I put on a hat and cape."

   He was worried that the two classmates were too afraid.

  If they use the fixed phone in the villa to call the police, or call a bodyguard or something, Jiang Xia will have no ghosts to pick up...

   After finishing speaking, in order to increase his credibility, Jiang Xia also pulled his hood to the top of his head: "It's a bit cold."

   The other three: "..."

  Conan: "...Are you myopic?"

   Is the emphasis on hats and capes? The point is obviously the bandage on that man's face! Serious people who have nothing to wrap themselves up like that.

   Jiang Xia snorted and nodded: "There is indeed a point."

   This is a lie.

   But it sounds like this is a good excuse that can be used for a long time, Jiang Xia silently wrote this down in his heart.

  Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan hesitated, wanting to describe to Jiang Xia the suspicious people they saw.

   But on second thought, the bandaged man on the bridge actually didn't do anything bad. Instead, he ran quickly after seeing them. Maybe he was just a passing middle schooler.

   Don't say it to affect Jiang Xia's mood...

  …

   The four of them crossed the suspension bridge and came to the door of the villa.

  Suzuki Sonoko was about to ring the doorbell, but at this moment, there was a sudden clatter from the side of the house.

   The two girls immediately thought of the bandaged man just now, and their cold hair stood on end.

  Conan is as strong as ever and rushed over quickly.

   Jiang Xia also approached to check the situation.

   Then found that the sound came from a small warehouse.

  Through the open door, a young woman can be seen standing in the warehouse.

  The woman has slightly curly hair and squinting eyes, and her facial contour is very similar to Suzuki Sonoko.

  Suzuki Sonoko saw the woman's face clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and hugged her: "Sister!"

   Suzuki Ayako greeted her with a smile, and then looked at the others.

   She had met Maorilan before.

   So Suzuki Ayako looked at Jiang Xia, who was born, and said kindly: "This is your classmate." After that, she looked at Conan again, "This is the child who lives in Xiaolan's house? How cute."

  Suzuki Ayako wanted to rub Conan's head, but she was sorting firewood and her hands were a little dirty.

   So in the end, I just nodded to them: "You guys go ahead and put down your luggage, you are carrying a strange weight."

  Although she let the guests enter the house, Jiang Xialai came, and she was embarrassed to sit and watch the hostess do the physical work.

   So he handed the luggage to Mao Lilan, asked his classmates to help him bring it into the house, and left him to help stack firewood.

  Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko also wanted to help, but the warehouse area was not large, so many people would add to the chaos, and there was not much firewood to carry, so they brought their luggage and entered the villa.

  Conan did not leave.

  He symbolically helped hold a few firewood that was taller than him, and asked Ayako Suzuki: "Sister Ayako, among the people who came today, are there any bandages on their faces?"

   "Bandage?" Suzuki Ayako didn't know what the child was talking about, she shook her head, "No."

  Conan asked: "Are there any cosplay lovers? Or people who are very junior?"

   This time the villa party was a small class reunion held by Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko just came to bring people to stop.

   Therefore, Suzuki Ayako is more familiar with visitors than her younger sister.

   But even so, they hadn't seen each other for several years. Ayako Suzuki didn't understand the current hobbies of her classmates, so she could only answer vaguely: "Maybe there is."

  Conan nodded thoughtfully.

   Jiang Xia glanced at him, but was not too worried that Conan would hinder him from picking up ghosts.

  Although Conan looks very alert, most of the time, this child is just habitually memorizing the information around him, and rarely can prevent crimes.

  …

   The three quickly packed up the warehouse, carried firewood, and returned to the villa.

   As soon as I entered the door, I heard a girl screaming from the second floor.

   followed, and another sound.

  ...this is Maorilan's voice.

  Conan's expression changed, and he rushed upstairs quickly.

  Suzuki Ayako looked at the second floor and tilted her head suspiciously, but she was not too worried.

   Because she felt that the two screams contained more shyness than fear...

   Jiang Xia vaguely guessed the situation.

  He put the wood by the fireplace first.

When    went upstairs to look for his classmates to pick up his luggage, Jiang Xia inquired about it and found that things were exactly as he had imagined.

  —— Among the members of this party, there are three boys.

   They all forgot to lock the door when they were in their respective rooms.

  Suzuki Sonoko has her fixed room, so she can stay without any setbacks.

  Mao Lilan didn't go well - when she was looking for a room, she didn't think much about it, she opened a door, and saw a half-fruited man changing clothes inside.

  Mao Lilan was frightened and screamed. After apologizing, he closed the door in a hurry, and hurriedly opened it again. Unexpectedly, it was a similar scene again.

   He opened three fans in a daze, and after reading all the male classmates of Ayako Suzuki, Maurilan finally found his guest room and rushed in as if fleeing.

  ... However, because of what she did, Jiang Xia's search for the room went a lot better - everyone honestly locked the door.
