Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 620 Enemies all over the world

  Because he knocked out the staff of the crew, at this time, the director was suddenly stopped to speak, and Toru Amuro was too embarrassed to turn his head and leave.

  Fortunately, in this world, it’s not a big deal to have a knife one by one. At most, you will only faint for a while, and you don’t even need to hit an ambulance.

   The director saw Jiang Xia and Amuroto stop, and took the opportunity to promote the drama he was filming.

  —This is a short play set in Nagasaki at the end of the Tokugawa period. A murder occurred in the Griver mansion, and the protagonist of the skit, Ryoma Sakamoto, was unfortunately regarded as a suspect because he was hiding in the mansion. In order to clear his grievances, he set out to solve the case with the help of a female doctor who had studied Dutch medicine.

   "Sakamoto Ryoma? Ran Gaku?" Heiji Hattori interjected suspiciously after listening to these familiar words, "This story should be set in Nagasaki, right? Why shoot in Tottori?"

"To be honest, we have limited funds. If we go to Nagasaki to rent a qualified Makumo mansion, the cost is too high... It happens that there is a cultural festival there. Chitoyo University has opened a foreign house, so I will borrow it to shoot." The director said. As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Jiang Xia again.

—Although Jiang Xia rarely filmed, and at most only made a friendly cameo in some old dramas, but in the director's impression, Jiang Xia has appeared in some detective variety shows, and because he often solves cases, he is frequently reported in the newspapers, and his popularity is quite high. .

   It happened that they were filming a suspense drama. If they could trick Jiang Xia into making a cameo appearance as a publicity stunt, the effect should be very good.

  …

   The director briefly introduced what he was filming, paved the way, and finally began to reveal his true purpose.

   He looked at Jiang Xia and started expressing: "So, can I ask you to do me a favor? - Look, we were knocked unconscious by you guys..."

   Jiang Xia's afterglow glanced over the staff in the corner and was about to nod his head.

   But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was Toru Amuro standing next to him—the man who nominally was in charge of this business trip.

   So Jiang Xia turned his head again, glanced intently at the boss of the organization, and politely asked for advice.

   As soon as he looked over, Hattori Heiji suddenly grabbed him and leaned forward, separating Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru.

   At the same time, he urged like an enthusiastic classmate:

   "Let's act, let's act, suspense dramas are very suitable for detectives! Anyway, you are all right, right, and that lady dragon set was indeed knocked out by you."

   said, pushing Jiang Xia from behind.

The director opposite    took advantage of the situation to move forward, grabbed Jiang Xia's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

  "..." Amuro Toru always felt that there was going to be another incident, trying to nip the crisis in the bud, "Wait, if I remember correctly, the lady who was knocked out by me is a female character."

"Haha, it's not important." The director was very happy when he heard the play, "This role should be just a trick - the real murderer can't be seen on the scene so early. The trick is to change the tone of the lines, both men and women. The same! Just be responsible for providing a clue to the protagonist."

   "Should?" Yuan Shan and Ye were a little puzzled by his words, "Aren't you the director? Why don't you know how many roles the characters have?"

"this…"

The director hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "To be honest, our screenwriter suddenly ran away, leaving only the beginning of the script. But he is a very talented person. Although he has not finished writing yet, I believe in the quality of his script. "

"So," he looked at Jiang Xia, his eyes brightened a little, "if you find out who the murderer is, please tell us. If the screenwriter doesn't come back, we will shoot as you said. "

  Jiangxia: "…"

   Amuro Toru: "…"

  …Dare to shoot like this?

   This crew is too casual.

   Amuro Toru wanted to refuse.

   But thinking about such a difficult crew, and he knocked out a person, I felt a little bit sorry. In addition, if he can reasonably spend his time on filming, then after that, he can take the time to hurry and take Jiang Xia to the mission point directly... This seems to be a good choice.

  … It just so happens that the surrounding atmosphere seems harmonious and there will be no trouble. Hope to take the opportunity to take a good rest.

  Amuro Toru did not stop him in the end.

  …

  Jiang Xia became a temporary trick for the crew.

   The original dragon suit was a young woman in the late period of the Bakuji era, wearing a dress that looked very fashionable at the time.

   But now, the script has succumbed to the enthusiastic director, and the dragon suit has been reversed gender-Jiang Xia's dragon suit has become a suit.

  Toru Amuro went to check the condition of the man who was unfortunately knocked unconscious by him.

Yuan Shan and Ye stood on the other side, holding the phone while watching and snapping a photo: "Jiang Xia looks pretty in a suit, I thought he didn't go well with such mature clothes, haha, send it to Xiaolan take a look."

   After pressing send, I suddenly felt a little quiet next to me.

   Yuan Shan and Ye suddenly thought of something and turned to look.

   Seeing him aside, Hattori Heiji was staring at the phone, his fingertips quickly pressing on the keyboard, his expression dignified with a hint of excitement.

   Yuan Shan and Ye: "...?"

   When she noticed the strange silence around her, she thought Hattori Heiji was jealous. Vaguely happy.

   But now, after seeing Heiji Hattori's expression clearly, Yuanshan and Ye fell into a sluggish moment - the solemnity is understandable, what's the matter with that excitement? ?

   A lot of weird guesses flashed through her mind, and finally ended with a clear word - perverted.

  ...However, seeing Hattori Heiji's cell phone, Toyama and Ye gradually calmed down again.

  …Maybe Heiji didn't notice what she was doing at all, but was obsessed with another thing.

  Thinking of this, Yuan Shan and Ye Qiuzheng walked over, peeked at his mobile phone screen, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

   The moment her eyes fell, the screen just refreshed, showing the interface that the email was sent successfully.

   Hattori Heiji put the phone back in his pocket, showing a sneer that he must win, and whispered back to her: "Get ready to arrest someone."

   "Arrest someone?" Yuan Shan and Ye didn't understand, "Who to arrest?"

"I heard from Kudo that Jiang Xia has never used his mobile phone for so many days. Not only did he not reply to messages, but all of his social accounts were maintained before the business trip and never went online—isn't this abnormal? Even if it needs to be kept secret commission, nor will detectives be limited to this extent."

Saying that, Hattori Heiji glanced at Amuro Toru, "In addition, their route of travel is also very strange, they always drill into the deep mountains and old forests...that's a good place to kill people, kill people and throw them in there, When found again, a lot of useful evidence will decay like dead branches and leaves buried in the mud.

   "Every year, a group of corpses that don't know whether they committed suicide or homicide are picked up in the mountains. If it wasn't for Jiang Xia and the others who happened to encounter a case on the way, they would always attract the attention of other citizens or the police, and Jiang Xia might be gone now."
