Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 636 Amuro, offline

   Kazami Yuya: "...?"

   He actually didn't quite understand why Amuro Toru suddenly said such a sentence.

   But he intuitively felt that the devil's boss's tone was not quite right - it didn't sound so devilish anymore, but it seemed like he had been ravaged by the devil.

  ...Speaking of which, before their team set off, Jiang Xia was the suspect of the cadre codenamed "Wuzuo".

  Although along the way, with the exposure of the Jiangxia incident, the possibility of "Jiangxia = Wuzuo" has been greatly reduced, but now... they are all looking for someone at the police station, Mr. Jianggu will not overturn the car.

   Feng Jianyu also had a bad premonition in his heart and became alert: "Ji...Are you alright."

"I'm fine." Amuro had already finished taking a shower. At this time, he was pressing the remote control to close the curtains, and pulling the soft quilt of the star hotel all the way to his chin, lying in an environment without Jiang Xia and no screaming. Feeling like these days have never been better:

   "You pick two people who are good at stalking, come to the Chifeng Hotel as a local police officer, and record Jiang Xia's actions for me - there happens to be a ready-made case here, and there are a lot of police officers, so it won't be very conspicuous if you come directly.

   "Remember not to choose people who have appeared around us before, Jiang Xia has a good memory, so be careful to be discovered by him.

   "Okay, let's do this first. If there is no urgent matter during this time, don't contact me."

   Then he hung up the phone neatly.

   Feng Jian Yuya: "..."

   He originally wanted to ask about Jiang Xia and Wu Zuo.

   However, after thinking about it: Mr. Jiang Gu suddenly delegated the stalking task, which may conversely show that Jiang Xia is not a big problem.

  ...But, since Jiang Xia has no problem, why doesn't Mr. Jiang Gu not allow him to contact him? During this period of time, Mr. Fugu's job was not only to identify whether Jiang Xia was the cadre with the code name. The task of the organization can only be done in Gunma Prefecture.

   Feng Jianyu also noticed a trace of disobedience, and wanted to call back immediately to ask clearly.

   In the end, however, between curiosity and command, command prevailed.

   He silently put down the phone.

  ——Maybe Mr. Fukutani encountered some unexpected situation, such as a sudden encounter with a member of an organization carrying important information.

  In that case, don't bother Mr. Furuya. Maybe he will soon start a contest with those dangerous members as "Bourbon". If he suddenly makes a phone call at this time, it may cause some irreparable losses.

   Thinking so, Kaze Jian Yu also carefully exited the call interface to avoid accidental touches.

   After a while, he sent an email to the other teammates, asking them to pick two popular faces and go to the hotel to stare at Jiang Xia.

   Surveillance is one aspect. On the other hand, Jiang Xia's mobile phone is still with them, and it has been blown up in name, so there is no way to replace it immediately.

   In this case, a famous detective with an event physique is in a foreign land and always feels that he is prone to encounter all kinds of strange emergencies. It is necessary to send someone to watch over it as soon as possible, so as not to reproduce the branches.

  …

   Zhifeng Hotel.

   in the room of the deceased.

   This deceased person seemed to be occupied by other things during his lifetime, and he had no time to pay attention to hygiene. His room was littered with scattered books and clumps of paper, and there was leftover food in the corner. Because of the "Do not need to be cleaned" sign hanging on the door and the windows closed again, a few days later, the air was filled with an unpleasant smell, and even the whole room became dirty.

   Jiang Xia wanted to follow along to find clues.

   However, after stepping into this room for a second, he rationally changed his mind.

   - There are so many cops here. Searches like this should really be left to professionals. If he, an inexperienced high school detective, goes in and rummages, he might destroy some key evidence...

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia instinctively returned to the corridor covered with soft carpets.

After    found that he could smell the smell here, he entered the room again and walked to the window. And after the police checked, he opened the window, while breathing the fresh air outside, while watching the progress of other people's search.

  …

   Hattori Heiji was not so particular about it, and was rummaging around in the police crowd.

   What the police have seen, he will re-read it for insurance, so as not to miss clues.

   After all, Hattori Heiji is really uneasy about his police teammates. On the other hand, Jiang Xia, who was next to him, respected the police so much that he did not search for it for the sake of protecting the scene...

   Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji glanced at Jiang Xia, who was standing in the corner, leaning against the window, with a low sense of presence, trying not to cause trouble to the police, and sighed.

  ——You can only come by yourself.

  …

   It turns out that this well-known Osaka high school detective is very reliable when it comes to finding things.

   It didn't take long for Hattori Heiji to make a new discovery: "Hey, come and see this!"

   Jiang Xia looked back from the window and found Hattori Heiji standing in front of the wardrobe.

   The door of the cabinet was wide open, and there were so many clothes hanging inside that it almost filled the closet.

   Jiang Xia approached and saw Hattori Heiji stretch out his hand and force his clothes to the sides, exposing the wooden boards behind.

  ——On the wooden board of the wardrobe, there are several newspapers concealed.

   At first glance, it seems that I don’t want the clothes to rub against the wardrobe, so I put a layer of newspaper.

   But if you look closely, you can find that those newspapers are not posted on a whole sheet, but specially cut out specific reports, and all the reports have relatively obvious traces of delineation.

   Hotels obviously don't post such things to guests.

   And if it was left by a previous guest, the cleaning staff will also clean them up.

   In short, this should have been posted by the deceased himself.

  …

  The police took off the hanging clothes, carefully took off the newspapers, and found that each one was an independent report.

   "Consecutive theft of artworks", "Suspected resale organization in the dark"... Several news points all point to the same theme.

"To actually post a case report in my own room, as expected of a screenwriter who is good at suspense script." The police officer looked at the newspapers in his hand that looked like they were taking notes with short sentences and question marks, and guessed, "Could it be? Borrowing these for inspiration?"

   "Art Theft Group..." Jiang Xia also leaned over to read the newspaper, and flipped through the script in his hand again.

   Just now, he didn't just stand aside and paddled, but while waiting for someone to search, he read the script of the two episodes before and after:

"There is no such organization in the script, and there are no key items such as 'artwork'. According to the director, this is a 5-episode short play. Since the first two episodes are completely absent, I am afraid there will be no more after that. Appeared - these reports, should have nothing to do with 'looking for inspiration'."

   As he said, he turned his attention to the crew members who were standing outside the door, poking their heads.
