Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 639 Victory is in sight

   The two of them fought their lives with iron rods and pursued them all the way.

   However, the "detective who knows too much" who is close at hand has been lucky to escape every time.

   As Jiang Xia kept approaching the gate, the hearts of Ren Zhaojirou and his accomplices were already in their throats.

   Just when they were ruthless and made a plan to chase out the door, Jiang Xia stumbled and accidentally bumped into the half-open door.

   The door was clicked shut by him.

   The only unlocked door is to open inward.

   Now, the detective's escape was blocked by himself, and he finally stopped in confusion.

  Lian Zhaojirou was overjoyed, but he didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

   He drank and waved the iron pipe vigorously. The iron pipe slammed into Jiang Xia's head with the sound of the wind.

   Then, with a muffled bang, Jiang Xia raised his hand and held it.

   The iron rod that had just smashed a shallow hole in the wall fell into Jiang Xia's hands. It turned out to be like a plastic rod played by a child, and it failed to affect him in any way.

   This completely inconsistent situation made the two pursuers startled at the same time. Although the other accomplice's weapon was not caught, he was originally thin and timid. Now, holding the half iron pipe that has not yet been swung down, he stopped in surprise.

   The next second, the door suddenly clicked.

  The two followed the sound, and after a closer look, they found that Jiang Xia suddenly locked the door for some reason.

  “…?”

  …

  Jiang Xia took back the puppet clay in his palm as if nothing had happened.

   Then, feeling the murderous aura of the two groups chasing him all the way, he turned his head in a good mood.

Soon, Renzhaojiro and Okuta Yu saw him stretch their hands into their arms, as if they wanted to take something, but they suddenly thought of something on the way, gave up the action, and turned to use force to pull the iron rod out of Renzhaojirou's hand. come out.

  "..." Lian Zhaojirou's hand was caught off guard, he felt the friction pain of the stick being pulled away, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He didn't have time to think about it, he instinctively grabbed the iron rod of his accomplice and swung it up again...

  Bang——

"what--!!"

   Before he could swing down, the iron rod in Jiang Xia's hand swept over smoothly, hitting him on his forearm.

  Ren Zhaojirou's hand swirled and flew out of the water pipe, and it fell with a bang. He was sweating coldly from the severe pain in his forearm and held his arm in pain.

   Before he could recover from the stinging pain, his neckline suddenly tightened. Immediately after, in the screams of the timid accomplices next to him, Lian Zhaojirou's eyes were blown, and he was overturned on the floor of the mansion.

"Close the door before doing something that can't see the light." A peaceful voice came from overhead - their silence target sighed softly like a teacher who encountered a stupid student, "This is common sense. "

  “???”

  …

  Chifeng University, next to Lovers Lake.

   Hattori Heiji and a group of policemen followed the hints in the script and searched for a place where "the monster's nose" might refer. In addition, the school worker borrowed fishing nets, and along the rocks by the lake, dead horses were fished as living horses.

   But apart from some innocent fish and shrimps on the Internet, nothing else could be found.

   Hattori Heiji went to the bridge hole to have a look, and found a few rockery with a special shape, but also found nothing.

   He scratched his hair irritably, and went around the lake while reviewing the parts of the script related to "Azhen" in his mind.

   Walking, his footsteps gradually slowed down, and finally stopped completely.

Yuan Shan and Ye next to    took a few steps forward and suddenly felt that there was someone missing from his side.

   She turned her head and looked suspiciously at Hattori Heiji who stopped suddenly: "What's wrong?"

   "I always feel..." Hattori Heiji looked at the lake, raised his hand and gestured, "It looks familiar."

   "Familiar?" Yuan Shan and Ye thought he was referring to the person on the bridge.

   She squinted and looked there, and found that it was a beautiful female student, she immediately frowned unhappily: "I don't know!"

   "No, I'm not saying it's familiar." Hattori Heiji, relying on his intuition to say in pieces, "It's the lake from this angle... eh?!"

   He suddenly remembered, slammed a punch in the palm of his hand, and said excitedly: "I see, it's the mansion where the movie was filmed just now! - There is a painting in it, which is the lake depicted from this angle."

   In order to fit the style of the Western-style house, the brushstrokes and colors are exaggerated. But combined with rockeries, trees and bridges, it can still be seen that its prototype is the lovers lake from this angle.

   "In addition, the line of 'Azhen' in the script is 'There are monsters living here in the summer, but don't worry, strong mistakes will also have weaknesses, the weakness of this monster is the nose'——

"Looking from here, I can't see the bridge hole, and there is no other part that looks too nose-like. Besides, the seasons are not right, it is late autumn, the trees are withered and yellow, but the script says 'summer', that is to say, that clue It's probably not referring to the lake itself, but the mansion - the main color of the painting in the mansion is green, and that's where the real clue lies!"

   Hattori Heiji reasoned at a fast rate, and was in a good mood because he solved the puzzle.

   For a high school detective, solving puzzles is of course not uncommon.

   But in the case of Jiang Xia, he succeeded in solving the riddle by himself, instead of being watered by Jiang Xia with a pot of correct answers when he was halfway through his thinking and was able to reason correctly... He could blow with Kudo for a week on this matter.

   "Go and see that mansion." Hattori Heiji ran quickly in the direction of the mansion, and said to Toyama and Ye at the same time, "Go and call the police."

   Yuan Shan and Ye responded, and instinctively took out the phone.

   followed closely, and suddenly remembered that there were just a bunch of police next to him. Her fingers froze just after pressing two "1"s.

   Then he exited the call interface as if nothing happened, and trotted to the police who were salvaging physical evidence by the lake.

  …

   Hattori Heiji was halfway through his run, and suddenly remembered that the door of the mansion was locked—when he left the haunted house just now, he saw that the film crew had finished filming. The janitor locked the door as the crew left with the equipment.

   So he turned his foot and went to the janitor first, and wanted to borrow the key to the mansion.

  ——In the mansion, there are clues that the deceased worked hard to leave behind. Finding it should be able to crack the murder case and uncover the bigger case behind the murder case.

   However, the matter of borrowing the key did not go well.

   "The key has been borrowed."

The uncle    took a sip of tea cheerfully: "Jiang Xia came here just now—by the way, you know Jiang Xia, that famous high school detective."

   As he said that, he wanted to take out a collection of newspaper clippings from cases that he had collected to give popular science to this high school student who seemed a little rash.

   But on the way, the administrator suddenly remembered something, he stared at Hattori Heiji for a moment, then suddenly started flipping through the newspaper clippings: "Hey, your color looks familiar, shouldn't you be..."

   raised his head as he spoke, then paused.

  ——The high school detective in Osaka didn't listen to him at all, and was already running away at this time.
