Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 612 Dusk Annex → Golden Annex

   "..." Amuro glanced at the cowboy detective, feeling that the man's words were a bit exaggerated.

   But after thinking about it, the detective's acquaintances are likely to ask the police for help or find it by themselves after discovering that the detective who went to the "Twilight Annex" for a dinner mysteriously disappeared.

And now, with so many detectives in the Dusk Pavilion, their acquaintances add up to a dozen or even dozens. Among these acquaintances, one calls the police, two call the police at the same time, three, four... whatever. Arrange and combine them, one hundred kinds are enough, and there are even super.

   So in the end, Toru Amuro did not express any opinion on this somewhat boastful statement.

   He looked at Jiang Xia who was wearing a Matsuda shell—Jiang Xia was looking at the cowboy detective with a puzzled expression.

   Amuro Toru then took the initiative to explain:

   "I don't actually need to do that scene just now, just wait a little longer - White Horse used his eagle to send a distress message to the outside, and now the helicopter is almost here."

   "Yeah, he didn't say it earlier, causing us to lie on the ground for so long."

   Gunda Yumi slapped the dust on her body and sighed.

She looked at "Black Ze" who proposed "acting", and then at the White Horse Detective who concealed information and indirectly contributed to the massacre drama, with a slight condemnation in her tone: "Master White Horse, don't you think acting is fun, that's why you cooperate? His."

  ...Speaking of which, although the White Horse Detective looks elegant and calm, but after careful calculation and rounding up, he is actually still a child, and it is entirely possible that he will be attracted by some novel proposals...

  “…”

   White Horse Tan was silent for a while, carefully wiping the ketchup on his body.

   He did find this live-action battle royale somewhat interesting, but, ahem, of course, this is not the reason why he did not hide it.

"I'm sorry to let the lady take part in such a cruel play." Bai Ma Tan's face was calm, his expression was gentle, but his eyes were slightly fluttering, "It's really because Watson was very disobedient today. So I wasn't fully sure at that time—prepared with both hands. Always right."

  ...The sophistry is fairly reasonable.

   Gunda Yumi nodded reluctantly.

  …

   The rumbling noise grew louder as the helicopter approached and landed on the wide house.

   But after listening to it for a while, Amuro always felt that something was not right - it seemed that it was not only the noise of the police helicopter, but also some other noises.

   Jiang Xia didn't know much about police helicopters, but he had a deep understanding of the Golden Pavilion.

   In addition, he was very aware of the surrounding situation, so he immediately noticed the abnormality.

  ——In my impression, the gold watch on the wall that is so precious that ordinary people can live without food and clothing is actually not the treasure itself, but just a key to unlock the treasure.

  When this hidden mechanism is triggered for many years, the outer shell of the entire Dusk Annex will crack and collapse, revealing the dazzling gold inside.

  …

  As the vibration gradually intensified, the detectives quickly realized that the sound of "rumbling" was not caused by the helicopter.

   "...Earthquake? It seems that the building's earthquake resistance is okay. But it's not safe to stay for a long time, so leave as soon as possible."

   A group of people trotted towards the exit.

   Jiang Xia followed behind them, planning to take a helicopter.

   looked up at the crumbling building.

   However, it shook for a long time, without any progress, not even a piece of wall skin fell.

   A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Xia's head.

  ...The progress of the collapse seems to be much slower than he remembered?

   He pondered briefly, then felt he understood.

——Although it is not clear how the complicated science institutions in the annex work, the huge amount of gold mixed in the middle is likely to be a key part of it. For example, it needs to use its weight to trigger the next one to undertake. Organs and the like... But now, the weight of gold is probably a little less than the designer expected.

  Jiang Xia watched the collapse progress extremely slowly, until a group of them approached the hall from the restaurant, and there were only some buildings with slightly cracked walls: "..."

   It shouldn't last until the end, and it won't collapse, and then the gold will continue to be hidden in it.

   He's already tired of digging...

And since "Wuzuo" has already appeared here, it is inconvenient to continue to dig the gold of the boss's old house, otherwise, if it is exposed, it will be easy for the boss to wear small shoes... In short, since it is useless here, it is better than letting gold It is better to use them as soon as possible and turn them into achievements if they are piled here aimlessly.

   Thinking of this, Jiang Xia secretly poked the ghosts on his body, intending to let them float around in the trap and find a key stress point where he can easily use the puppet clay.

   At this moment, there was a sudden click nearby—a piece of wall skin finally fell.

   Under the light of the dim yellow swaying wall lamp, a golden light burst out from the wall.

  The detectives who had already run around the corner failed to see this scene.

   But Jiang Xia, who was behind them, and Anshitou, who was behind Jiang Xiagen, were attracted by the movement of the wall skin falling, and looked at them subconsciously.

   Then Jiang Xia discovered that Amurotou paused slightly—the intelligence officer seemed to realize the problem, and obviously had an association after seeing the golden light.

   Jiang Xia: "..." It seems that the real "treasure" has been discovered.

   He withdrew his gaze towards the wall, kept walking around the corner, and asked the ghosts to keep an eye on Toru Amuro.

At the same time, I thought to myself, if the eccentric boss only reports to the police and ignores the boss, then when there is no one around, lean over and say "Hi, Bourbon~" like Belmode. if. In this way, Amuro Toru should immediately stop his behavior that is not in line with "Bourbon".

   However, just after Jiang Xia turned the corner and his sight was cut off.

  Amuro, who was at the end, turned his head and looked at the place where the crack spread, and then looked at the atrium from the side window. His mind was running fast, and he completely constructed the distribution of the entire annex based on the road he walked when he searched the annex just now. After that, he suddenly took out the pistol from his pocket, put on the silencer, and under the cover of the increasingly loud building collapse, he turned out the wall from the side window, and fired a few shots from outside while the night was dark.

   Then he returned to the corridor as if nothing had happened, ran quickly forward, and followed the team of detectives.

  …

As the last person stepped out of the gate of the annex, the first ray of sky lit up on the horizon, the mountains and the annex were illuminated, and everything looked hopeful, as if to indicate that this ridiculous "massacre" was over. .

   A group of people quickly walked to the open space in the courtyard and boarded the helicopter sent by the police to rescue them.

  The large helicopter took off the detectives with all their thoughts and drove towards the city.

   At this moment, the grandmother Qianjian who was near the window looked down and suddenly stood up excitedly, as if she had seen some extremely shocking scene, she stuck close to the window.
