Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 616 Cadres are by my side

   Not long after, the police received a related call.

  ——The gas station near the Twilight Annex, after receiving their inquiries, he began to search around his own station and nearby convenience stores.

   Then in an old warehouse, he found Jiang Xia who was thrown into it by the unscrupulous thief.

   Amuro Toru and a group of police rushed to the car.

   When he got there, he found that Jiang Xia was wearing someone else's coat, eating Oden provided by the lady at the convenience store. The elderly store manager next to him passed by with a teapot and asked him kindly if he wanted some hot tea.

  “…”

   Amuro was silent for a while. Compared to him, the kidnapping suspect, Jiang Xia lived a very comfortable life...

   However, it was thanks to Kidd that he had a little conscience - he only took off his coat, but not all his clothes. Otherwise, the clerk here suddenly sees a young man without clothes in the warehouse, I am afraid he will only panic and shout, thinking that a pervert has entered the store, how can there be such a good treatment now...

   Amuro Toru yawned, compared the current situation of the two sides, and there was a little bit of resentment.

  …

   When the police asked Jiangxia and the people at the gas station to inquire about the situation.

  One of the "staff" who seemed to sense the commotion here and came to watch the excitement took a few glances, checked the situation, and slipped away in a low-key manner.

  ——This "staff" is Kidd in disguise.

   Half an hour ago, Kidd heard that Terai Huang Zhisuke didn't receive Jiang Xia, and he couldn't contact Wutiangu. So he changed his voice and called the police station to ask about the situation.

After discovering that Wutiangou didn't give Jiang Xia to the police, Kidd fell into silence with sweat on his forehead, and began to talk about "Go to the deep forest to find out if there is a famous detective with grain reserves hanging on the tree" and "Go to the nearby gas station to check. situation” in the back and forth.

   and decisively chose the latter.

   After all, the woods are too big, and he really didn’t know where to look for a while.

   Also, Yokai-san should be quite trustworthy, otherwise, at that time, Wutengu wouldn't give him the detective he caught with his ability.

   Now, at the gas station.

   It turns out that, regardless of the process, Kidd finally came to the right conclusion.

  ——He really saw Jiang Xia at the gas station.

  So...Maybe it's because the Wutengu and other Grandpa Terai got bored of waiting and went for a walk in other places alone. Then Jiang Xia woke up on the way and found that he had fainted in the woods, so he tried his best to run to the warehouse of the gas station.

   After that, because it was temporarily safe, relaxed a little, and the effect of the anesthetic started again, so you have been sleeping until now?

  "..." feels quite reasonable.

   Let’s just pretend that’s the case.

   As for the specific situation, it will probably be clear when you encounter a foggy dog ​​next time you are robbed.

  Thinking of this, Kidd glanced at Jiang Xia, who was surrounded by police and enthusiastic citizens, and at the scumbag boss who was surrounded by police. He was really satisfied with this situation.

   He pressed the brim of his hat while hiding his merits and fame, and left in a low-key manner.

  …

   In the face of the police's inquiries about "Is Amuro Toru a human trafficker"...

  Jiangxia certainly didn't cheat the boss.

   After all, he just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible and continue on his way.

   So he just said that he lost his mobile phone halfway. As for why Kidd thought he was kidnapped, he didn't know.

   Although the police are still a little suspicious, but remembering the news, the frequency of Jiang Xia's case detection in the past few days, and the speed of his contact with the police, he felt that if Jiang Xia wanted to call for help, there were simply a lot of opportunities.

   In addition, although Kidd has a good reputation, he is a thief with a mysterious identity and has a lot of illegal records.

So Kidd's words don't seem to be trustworthy--maybe Kidd secretly stuffed a "There is a problem with Amuro" on other detectives just now, just to make the detectives focus more on Amuro, so that he can escape in time.

   After asking a few more questions, we can only let the two of them leave first.

  …

   When the policeman left, no one was staring at him.

   Amuro Toru took out his phone and gave it a fair look.

   I saw an unread email in my phone.

After    clicked on it, judging from the email address, it was a message from Rum, the second-in-command of the organization.

   Amuro is not surprised by this.

Before   , in order to maintain the behavior that "Bourbon" should have, he had already reported the news in the Twilight Annex to Rum.

   Amuro Toru opened the email.

   I thought it was just a cliché like "well done".

   However, his eyes fell on it, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

   was completely different from what he thought, and what was written there turned out to be.

  ——[The lord already knows].

  “…”

  Amuro glanced at the receipt time subconsciously.

   found Rum writing back to him, just a minute after he sent the email. Rum and the boss read emails quite frequently... However, this is obviously not the current focus.

   Amuro Toru looked at the few words on the email, was shocked by the excessive amount of information, and was silent for a moment.

   Already know...

   means, before him, someone had already notified the gentleman about the news of the Twilight Annex?

  The mystery of the treasure was just solved today, and only a few people saw the gold...

  Amuro's mind flashed through the faces of the detectives, the maid who was a passer-by no matter how she looked, and "Matsuda", only to feel that the cold hair on her back was about to stand up.

  ... This feeling of "organizational cadres are by my side", for normal organization members, there will only be a kind of unhappiness of being robbed of the first credit, and secret annoyance of being tricked by colleagues.

   But for the fake bottle of bourbon, there is only horror and deep fear.

   And among this group of people, who is the most suspicious...

   The faces that flashed in his mind finally settled on "Black Ze".

   Amuro's eyes sank slightly.

   Although he had doubts about "Kurozawa" for a long time, it was only based on the principle of "people who can't confirm that there are no problems, treat them as problems first", so he politely doubted them.

  I didn’t expect that today, things might come true.

   For a moment, Toru Amuro's mood was subtly synchronized with those unlucky people who were "worried that the ceiling fan above their head would fall, and then one day found out that the ceiling fan really fell while spinning".

   But after a while, he thought about luckily, that night, he didn't actually stare at the "Jiang Xia" that Kidd disguised as, but kept staring at Songtian.

——There was no signal in the Twilight Annex, and Amuro remembered that Matsuda never used his cell phone until the helicopter that picked up the detectives arrived at the place where there was a signal, and until Amuro sent a message to Rum. The detectives stayed up all night together, making up for sleep all the time...

   Was Matsuda using some means to avoid his eyes while pretending to be asleep and sent a message to that gentleman?

   Or, the boss who notified the boss was actually someone else, such as other detectives that he hadn’t watched much, or even those police officers who came to save people?
