Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 603 Kind Uzo

   After persuading for a while, seeing that the detectives were still fighting with each other, Kurosawa sighed sadly:

   "When I searched the annex just now, I couldn't find anyone suspicious, but it doesn't really explain anything—the organizer may have sensed our movement, so he hid in the mountains ahead of time.

"In addition, we were a group of people conducting the investigation together, and this annex occupies a large area. The host who is familiar with the terrain can play hide-and-seek with us... Well, instead of quarreling, it is better to close all doors and windows first. Lock it up and search again. This time you can split into at least two teams and start searching from a few different directions."

   In a darkened room.

   Qianjian's mother-in-law looked at Kurosawa, the "terminally ill patient", through the screen, and her eyes softened a little: as expected, she is a person who is about to die, and her mentality is indeed different from those of ordinary people who are full of desires.

  Unfortunately, no matter how much you struggle, it is useless - the lead has been ignited by two lives, and it is impossible to stop. If Kurosawa continues to block, he will only become a victim of this group of people...

   However, he had intended to commit suicide. It is better to have so many detectives buried with you and experience a dramatic death than to die alone in the mountains. Thinking of this, the aching conscience of Qianjian's mother-in-law suddenly became less painful.

  "..." Speaking of which, judging from the "proposal" Kurosawa said in the hall, it was indeed correct to agree to let this young man take a ride.

   Because of the advice given by laymen, it will only help more and more.

——In a situation of mutual suspicion like the present, if everyone acts in unison, then there will be doubts, because they can always see each other, and that kind of doubt will be limited to a certain extent because of "seeing is believing". Inside.

   But once they disperse, they are out of sight of each other...

  The human imagination is incredibly powerful, especially in these tense and life-threatening times.

After separation, because they can't see what the other party is doing, the detectives' suspicions will only continue to increase... In the end, someone will definitely take the lead in some extreme self-defense actions in order to protect themselves, and those actions will once again ignite panic in others. The Mars eventually burned into a sea of ​​blood, burning up all life here.

  ...In life-threatening tensions, some people's minds go blank. But this group of detectives is different. They should be able to awaken their potential when the dead line is approaching, and solve the mystery of the treasure at the last minute...

Of course, for the mother-in-law Qianjian herself, what she is looking forward to the most is that the detectives can leave secrets about the treasure on the ground like writing a death message before they are cornered and die... According to the habit of detectives, If you solve the puzzle, but only die with the answer, it will be a kind of extreme pain. In this way, she doesn't have to do it anymore...

   Under the thoughtful gaze of Qianjian's mother-in-law.

   on the monitor screen.

   In the hall, the detectives who were much younger than Qianjian's mother-in-law and relatively "inexperienced" did not seem to have foreseen the danger of splitting up.

   They seemed to have no intention of acting with suspicious persons, but upon hearing Kurosawa's suggestion, they all nodded in agreement and began to group themselves.

  …

   in the hall.

  Jiang Xia put on the vest of "Black Zezuo" and carried out some impromptu persuasion.

After   , seeing the detectives "accepting advice" and walking away in twos and threes, he also picked a random direction and walked to the corridor beside him.

   Just took two steps, and suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

   Looking back, he saw Amuro Toru and "Jiang Xia" following along, as if they naturally formed a group with him.

  “…”

   Jiang Xia remembered the ubiquitous surveillance and nodded to them like a hospitable good person.

   Then a team of three people carefully searched for the annex.

  …

   Searched the rooms, but never found where the "host" was hiding.

   Searched halfway, and after pushing open a wooden door in the middle of the corridor, the three emotionless search machines paused for a while.

  ——Unlike those guest rooms with several-piece suits, there is no common furniture such as sofas in this room, but a striking grand piano. This appears to be a piano room.

   The three of them were slightly startled, turned on the lights, and passed by without glancing as before, but went into the room to take a look.

   "Playing a killing drama" is of course the main goal at this stage.

   But at the same time, there is another important thing - treasure hunt.

  ...People are curious, not to mention part-time detectives and phantom thieves.

   Amuro Toru and Kidd were also curious about the "treasure" that killed countless people in this annex.

   According to experience, in such a special room in front of you, the key to solving the puzzle is often hidden.

  …

   It didn’t take long for me to go in, and I really got something.

   Jiang Xia walked to the piano, as if habitually wanting to press the keys.

   But after he stretched out his hand, he suddenly made a "Huh?"

  ——On one end of the piano, between the two keys, there is a piece of old and yellowed paper.

   Jiang Xia picked up the brittle piece of paper and carefully unfolded it.

   Amidst the screeching sound, the two temporary teammates next to him noticed his new discovery, and they all approached and followed.

   I saw a few words that seemed familiar to me on the paper.

   is a reminder from the host just now:

  [The night when two travelers looked up at the sky, the devil descended on the castle; the king fled with treasures, the princess shed tears on the Holy Grail, begging for forgiveness, the soldiers slashed themselves with swords, and blood stained the earth]

  “…”

Amuro raised his hand, rubbed the piece of paper, and then leaned in and sniffed: "Like natural weathering, it has existed for a long time - it seems that the 'hint' given to us by the host is actually from the predecessors. What was left. The organizer couldn't answer it by himself, so he threw it to us as it was."

   Kidd, who was dressed as Jiang Xia, felt the same way, and wanted to laugh at the old lady hiding behind the scenes.

   But thinking about it now, he is wearing Jiangxia's skin. According to Kidd's rough investigation, Jiang Xia seems to rarely make similar moves...

   He finally swallowed the words silently again, just nodded slightly, and politely echoed the boss next to him.

  …

  Although they found new clues, but because of these hints, they had already gotten it early at the dinner party, and there was not much progress on the treasure hunt.

   Amuro Toru and Kidd were planning to look around again. If there are no new clues, go to the next room and keep searching.

   However, before he could act, "Kurozawa" looked away from the paper.

   Then he thought for a moment, went around to the side of the piano, and looked at the lid of the piano from another angle:

   "There is a wet stain here, and there is no mold. It doesn't look like a water stain that has accumulated over the years... It should be that someone else came here just now and sprayed something on it."
