Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 597 Survival without a car (anti-theft plus more)

   Looking out the window of the restaurant, you can see a corner of the parking lot.

   But can't see the whole picture.

   Although the others were not so obsessed with the car, they also felt that the cowboy detective had a point, nodded, and got up one after another, preparing to go to the courtyard to check the condition of the car. After all, seeing is believing.

  …

   Arrived in the hall, before going out, An Shitou paused slightly, thinking of Jiang Xia's ptsd that was always up and running.

   - According to Conan, and some other gossip. For Jiang Xia, the combination of "destroyed car" and "explosion" seems to be one of the most direct triggering factors, and there is a chance that Jiang Xia will quickly fall into that kind of hang-up state like losing his soul.

  Thinking of this, he looked back at "Jiang Xia" who was following him: "You stay in the hall. Don't be too far from the door. If someone sneaks up, you can run out."

   Kidd was startled and nodded, his first reaction was to be vigilant: Is the scumbag boss afraid that Jiang Xia will escape without authorization as soon as he gets outside?

   However, as the others opened the door and closed the door again, Kidd vaguely heard the sound of the car crackling and burning between the opening and closing of the door.

  “…”

   He gradually remembered that it seemed that some tabloids had said that when Jiang Xia encountered a car accident, his reaction would slow down and the speed of solving the case would drop significantly.

  ...Although I don't know where the news came from, but based on the reports of the corresponding cases, the credibility is quite high.

In the past, when Kidd Yirong went to experience life in the black market, he occasionally heard an extrajudicial fanatic say: He intends to pretend to be an innocent client, invite Jiang Xia to the murder scene, and then take advantage of Jiang Xia's weakness to slow down his speed of solving the case. , In the end, Jiang Xia became a witness that they did not break the law - in this world that attaches great importance to detectives' reasoning, after committing a crime, successfully escaped from Jiang Xia without being guilty, which is barely a trump card of immunity.

  Thinking of this, Kidd looked at the closed door and sighed in his heart.

   The detective that I played was really bad luck.

   I don't know if those cunning criminals who are trying to take advantage of other people's weaknesses have implemented their sinister plans now... Tsk, after this incident is over and I leave, I have to find a way to remind Jiang Xia.

  ... But that being said, if Jiang Xia really has a similar ptsd, then the scumbag boss seems to be quite humane in this regard? It would even take the initiative to remind him to avoid it.

... Of course, it can't be ruled out that it is superficial consideration, secretly using this to let Jiang Xia relax his vigilance; or worrying that if Jiang Xia behaves too abnormally, other detectives will find out that something is wrong, and even the police and the hospital will intervene, making it difficult for him to harm himself. staff.

Kidd remembered Jiang Xia's quick response to the "Anshito" sneak attack, Jiang Xia's mobile phone that was taken away, Jiang Xia's move into the deep forest instead of running to the gas station; All kinds of behaviors during pregnancy, whispering hope that others will die...

   The label he attached to Amuro in his mind was still very firmly labeled "suspicious scum."

  …

   Outside the house.

  Amuro Toru was standing under the awning in front of the gate, and suddenly sneezed.

   He came back to his senses and felt the cold wind outside the house, suspecting that he had not slept for several days, and that he was tense every day, causing his resistance to drop.

  …

   A group of detectives stood at the prominent gate, looked to the side, and clearly saw several burning cars.

   The fire was extremely violent. According to this posture, even if the vehicle suddenly exploded in the next second, it would not be surprising.

   And all the cars were burning, none of them were spared.

Jiang Xia, wearing Matsuda Jinping's vest, leaned against the porch, glanced at the Alfa Romeo whose skeleton could only be discerned, and secretly looked at the cowboy detective, with an expectation in his eyes: his wife was innocently bombed, and she couldn't justify her murderousness. Bar.

   Yet the detectives seem to be extremely well behaved.

  The resolute face of the cowboy detective was covered with a layer of fire, and there was only deep sadness and anger on it, but there was no killing intent that Jiang Xia wanted to see.

  In the end, the tall detective just clenched his fist with a sullen face, determined to catch the behind-the-scenes host and hand it over to the police. At the same time, he looked at his car and sighed sadly,

   Jiang Xia also looked at him and sighed sadly. Scumbag, this is it?

   As he was thinking, a question came from the side.

  Amuro came over again at some point, carefully observed his expression, slightly puzzled: "What's the matter? Your car is not here, right?"

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ...how do you feel that the boss is staring at Matsuda more than "self". Does he remember that he is now conducting an observation experiment on "Jiangxia"?

  ...Irrespective, in short, very disengaged.

   was quite condemned in his heart, but he could only shake his head calmly on the face: "I just think that without means of transportation, it will be difficult to leave here."

  "..." Amuro thought to himself that it didn't matter - his subordinates were still following. When the wind sees them following halfway, and finds that the bridge is broken, he will definitely find an excuse to come in and pick up people. Just to avoid being suspicious, they probably won't come too soon...

  The cowboy detective lost his beloved wife and looked at his car, his eyes were a little dull, but he had not lost his detective instinct.

His eyes swept around the row of cars and felt a little strange: "Mother-in-law Qianjian and the others came in that Mazda, mine is Alfa Romeo, Ferrari I remember Miss Guntian's, the older one is That Porsche..."

   He counted four cars, but five were burning in the parking lot.

   Everyone else found the problem too.

   Toru Amuro looked at the White Horse Detective: "Is that Mercedes yours? You seem to be just 17 years old."...A driver's license needs to be 18 to test, so driving without a license?

   Bai Ma Tan shook his head and firmly pushed away the pot that fell over: "I came here by taxi."

  The maid also followed and whispered: "The car that may be the owner--when I came to the annex ahead of time to prepare for the dinner, it was already parked there."

   "I see." Gunda Yumi looked at the maid, "Then how did you come here?"

"I came here by car... The owner said that it was not polite to park my car at the front door, so he asked me to park at the back door." Speaking of which, the maid bit her thumb distressedly, and said sadly, "I'm probably being taken with me now. Blow it up."

   The others were startled: "Go to the back door to see." What if it didn't explode.

   They turned to the gate, intending to return to the hall, through the atrium to the back door.

   As soon as he pushed the door, he almost bumped into "Jiang Xia" who was eavesdropping on the door.

   Kidd moved back nimbly, protecting his carefully disguised face.

  The door here is well soundproofed, and he couldn't hear the conversation outside: "...what's the matter?"
