Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 599 Unqualified (anti-theft plus change)

the other side.

  In the dark mountain forest, the little beetle went down the winding mountain road with its pale headlights.

   After nearly ten minutes, we finally came to the vicinity of the suspension bridge.

   Qianjian's mother-in-law stopped the car and opened the door.

After    half body got out of the car, she seemed to feel a little cold, wrapped her scarf again, and shrank back.

   The other three glanced at her and said nothing. They got out of the car and went to the suspension bridge to check the situation.

   I saw a sturdy wooden bridge. Both ends were blasted and burnt. The middle part fell completely and fell into the bottomless ravine below.

   "Jiang Xia" lowered his head to observe for a moment, stared intently at the bridge, and said to the car, "Mother-in-law Qianjian, change it to low beams, so that you can't see your feet clearly."

   As he said that, he tapped on the handrail and judged the distance on both sides of the canyon: As he thought before, combined with the wind blowing here, it is really not easy to fly over with a glider.

   Amuro Toru was looking at the road across the bridge, wanting to see if there were any figures from the Ministry of Public Security poking their heads.

   Jiang Xia followed Anshitou to look in that direction—if there were police officers, and they saw a suspicious man in black following Anshitou, they would not take the initiative to probe.

   In this case, a group of people can naturally stay in the annex for a while, and then leave here after the drama detectives finish the show and lose their murderous aura.

   After the three people, the headlights changed.

   At the moment when it changed from high beam to low beam, the vehicle suddenly exploded with a "bang".

  —The only remaining car also exploded and burst into flames in an instant.

  The three people by the bridge turned around in a hurry, looking in through the front window of the car, they could only see a piece of fire.

  The car's handbrake failed, and the broken car was propelled by the blast and slid down the slope, instantly crashing in front of the three of them.

   None of the three tried to stop them, but instinctively retreated.

The   car followed the road they vacated and plunged into the cliff.

  Jiang Xia raised his hand and put out the small flames on his body: "…"

  ... I always feel that according to this scene, when I rush over and shout "Mother-in-law!", the scene is considered complete.

  ... However, this doesn't quite fit the character that Uzo should have. Forget it.

   As he was thinking, "Jiang Xia" next to him seemed to have recovered his senses.

   He chased to the side of the broken bridge in surprise, looked under the bridge, and cried out in vain, "Grandma Qianjian—!"

  Jiangxia: "…"

   He stared faintly at the back of "self": seeing the vehicle exploding at close range, shouldn't we consider a reasonable hang-up here?

...However, according to Jiang Xia's observation, in the occasional related reports, the reporters may be out of consideration for "protecting the privacy of underage detectives", and they did not describe in detail the specific state of him when he hung up, only saying "the speed of solving cases" will be significantly affected."

   Kidd may be misled by this description, thinking that after Jiangxia encounters a vehicle explosion, he will just lose his calm and slow down the speed of solving the case.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed in his heart - although Kidd usually does some detailed investigations on disguised targets. But occasionally, this strange thief would be lazy, and even made a major mistake of "pretending to be a tomboy and mistaking him for a man, so he played it as a man".

   This time, Kidd suddenly wanted to replace "Jiang Xia", probably more out of interest. Weaknesses are inevitable.

   And on the plus side, it's actually more convenient - if Kidd really started to hang up professionally, the bridge is so far away from the Twilight Annex, he and Toru Amuro have to figure out a way to get people back... It's better now.

  The fire and the car quickly disappeared at the bottom of the cliff.

  The sound of roaring burning and the sound of material cracking are also all away.

   Jiang Xia looked away from "Jiang Xia" and glanced at An Shitou secretly.

   Seeing the boss's eyes looking at "Jiang Xia", it was completely wrong.

   stared at "Jiang Xia" twice, An Shitou remembered something, turned around again, and gave Zhen Jiang Xia a complicated look.

   At the same time, Kidd also finished the "sad" scene he added, turned around, and looked at "Kurozawa" secretly vigilantly.

  —They all saw the flaws that Qianjian's mother-in-law showed before, and realized that this old lady was probably the "host" who planned all this tonight.

   And Kurosawa is the "companion" who appeared with her.

  Jiang Xia remembered the identity of the "Companion of Qianjian Descendants" that he had touched, and understood the reaction of the two.

As if he didn't see anything, he said in a relaxed tone: "Let's go back first and tell everyone what's going on here. Fortunately, it's not too far from the annex, and it won't take much time to walk back along the road... I didn't expect it to appear so soon. another victim."

  “…”

   Although the atmosphere between the three of them was a bit strange, they eventually embarked on the return journey together, and went further and further along the mountain road.

  …

   for a long time.

   seems to be sure that they have gone completely far and will not kill another carbine.

  Beside the bridge, the half-person-high weeds suddenly moved, and a squatted old woman walked out of it.

Chikan Yoyo, who was "killed by a car bombing while sitting in a car", looked at the direction where the three were leaving, then turned to look at the broken bridge with small flames, shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the evening. direction of the pavilion.

  —Senjian Koyo is the "host" who pretended to be Kid, called the detective, and killed the food detective.

   The **** story she told in the restaurant just now as the "host" was half true.

  —Forty years ago, there was indeed a massacre in the annex, but in fact, it did not take place in Karasuma's memorial service, but when Karasuma Renye was still alive.

  At that time, Karasuma discovered that there was a considerable treasure hidden in this family-owned Twilight Annex, so he wanted to ask someone to help him find it.

   Qianjian's mother-in-law's father was an archaeologist. At that time, Qianjian's father and a group of scholars were invited by Karasuma Rianya to come to this annex to hunt for treasures.

   Qianjian and her mother were pleasantly surprised by the generous rewards that Qianjian's father sent back one after another.

   However, the good times did not last long. After half a year, Qianjian’s father lost contact.

   In the last letter he sent back, countless small holes were pierced with needles. It was the code left by Qianjian’s father, describing the atrocities that took place in the annex:

   Karasuma Rianye felt that her death was imminent, and the scholars who invited her only needed funds and could not find any treasures at all. In the end, the ruthless Karasuma killed them one by one in the annex, hoping that those who had not been killed could stimulate their potential for treasure hunting under the watering of blood.

  If someone could discover the truth hidden in the letter sooner, they might have a chance to bring someone over to arrest Karasuma Rianya, who had not left at the time, or at least rescue the survivors.
