Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 652 Don't come here

   Jiang Xia stared solemnly at himself in the mirror: "Do you think there is a paradise in this world?"

   Then nodded: "Exist."

   "What kind of place would that be?"

"have no idea."

   "Would you like to come and see with me."

"No."

   After proficiently walking down a set of procedures, because Jiang Xia, who activated the skill, was rejected by himself, the second result of the "Question and Answer in Heaven" was determined to take effect.

   His vest suddenly went numb, followed by Chi La puncturing his clothes, revealing a few sharp spider legs.

  In the legend of Miss Spider's hometown, a big spider who turned into a beautiful woman would stop travelers on the road and ask the three questions just now. If she doesn't get the response she wants, she'll turn back into a spider, tearing up the hapless traveler.

   Among the skills related to the legend, "Heaven's Questions and Answers", when you ask the last question, if you are rejected, you will be "spidered" and get eight useful spider legs.

  Supported by the characteristics of ghosts, these spider legs are much harder than pure puppet clay.

  Jiang Xia squatted down, raised his claws and poked at the mud below, digging quickly.

   This kind of spider legs obtained through skills are lower in hardness than the spider legs of Miss Spider’s puppet, but they are better than all-match. After all, Miss Spider's kimono is inconvenient, and if she moves a little bit, it is easy to be caught by her clothes. I don't know how Miss Spider herself acts like the wind when she opens the puppet.

  …

   After digging out the pot, Jiang Xia carefully filled the emptied hole and took care of the aftermath.

   After thinking about it, I simply buried the former Kizang in the pit.

   Afterwards, he left with the clay pot and buried it in a place he could remember. I plan to dig it out and bring it back when I pass by Gunma next time.

   Now, of course, you can't take it away directly. This time, he went out in a hurry - Amuro Toru, who came to him on a "business trip" at that time, was still adhering to the code of conduct in complete isolation and did not give him a chance to pack his luggage at all. And if he went back, Jiang Xia suddenly had an extra bag of luggage on his body... Even An Shitou, who was in the state of fishing, couldn't overlook this change.

   After burying the specialties, Jiang Xia scattered the puppets and returned to his body.

   Outside the empty house, the rain poured down, and the footprints gradually disappeared.

  …

   The next morning.

   The storm that raged all night has stopped in the early hours of the morning. At this time, the air outside the window is fresh, birds and insects are singing, and it is peaceful.

   Toru Amuro opened his eyes in this peaceful atmosphere and saw the sunlight streaming in through the curtains, and his mood rose.

   Then he got up and tidied up, planning to wake Jiang Xia and go to breakfast.

   But when he walked to Jiang Xia's group of bedding, An Shitou stopped hesitantly.

  “…”

   Confused for a moment, he turned around gently and walked towards the door.

  ...let's wait for Jiang Xia to wake up and let him eat by himself.

  ...not wanting to enjoy a quiet morning. Instead, he felt that Jiang Xia had been stared at by him for so long, and now that the mission was almost over, he should readjust to a free life, instead of being stared at every meal.

  Thinking like this, Amuro pushed open the door and walked out, walking briskly through the corridor, all the way downstairs, ready to go to the restaurant for dinner.

  …

the other side.

   On the mountain road not far from the hotel.

  Mori Kogoro and Maurilan carried a few pieces of luggage and walked towards the "Kwai House Hotel" in their sight.

   They originally came to the "Sacred Land Parade"-Yoko Kinoshita recently had a hit drama, and Kogoro Mouri planned to visit the filming location. Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko were also very interested in this, and also made an appointment to meet at the filming location.

   From the direction of Tokyo, to the location of the scene, there is a shortcut, passing through this mountainous area.

   Then Mouri Kogoro lost his way when he was passing by.

   Later, unfortunately, he hit a car parked in the grass and was forced to break down.

   A group of three miserably hid in the car from a sudden storm, and it was not until the middle of the night that they finally contacted the towing company.

   However, it was told that there are no vacant vehicles at present, and the road conditions are uncertain after the heavy rain, so it may be later. Afterwards, the sweet-sounding service staff suggested that they go to a nearby hotel for some repairs.

   "Damn, I'll never run into this ravine again!"

Mouri Kogoro glanced at his trousers that had been splashed with muddy water, and sighed sadly: "When it's time to take a long detour, you really should take a long detour. Although these **** trails are close, it is too easy to blow out tires - tsk, even if If you don't puncture your own tire, other cars will puncture, and then those unscrupulous car owners will park their cars casually and harm the people who come later..."

Mao Lilan followed with a sigh: "It's not that you refused to go down the mountain road, you had to run over the weeds and walk in a straight line, blocking your vision before you crashed... According to the rescue team, the owner of the car also Rest in the hotel in front. If you see someone later, don't talk about such easy-to-beat things, it's still a new car."

  Conan was carrying his small schoolbag and tried his best to follow behind the two people.

   On the way, he glanced back at the direction he came from, thinking of the car that was parked on the side of the road after a flat tire and was hit by Kogoro Mouri, and he was a little distracted.

   The unlucky car was a white Mazda.

  Although the license plate number is different from the old and the new, it is obviously not the same car, but this style makes Conan suddenly think of it and think of Toru Amuro who he met once before.

   Then he thought of Jiang Xia, who went out with Amuro Toru and was said to be doing "a very confidential commission", so that he lost contact.

  "..." As Jiang Xia lost contact with him for a longer period of time, Conan suspected that the Anshi boss, who was suspected to be related to the anonymous name, was doing some kind of human traffickers behind the scenes.

  Unfortunately, just relying on his guesses and intuition, this matter could not be filed at all—even if he used Kudo Shinichi's voice to go to the Meguro Police Department, he could only get an invalid reply such as "pay attention as much as possible". Especially after the Mumu police department has read the news and found that Jiang Xia is outside to increase performance for other police departments, and even if he travels, he has been in the police pile all the year round... The Mumu police department felt that Kudo Shinichi thought more, and said that compared with Jiangxia , Brother Kudo seems to have been missing for a longer time. Is he in trouble? Do you need him to provide a little help?

   In the end, Conan could only give up asking the police and try to investigate himself.

In addition to collecting the reports and photos of Jiang Xia's case along the way, and trying to find out the distress signal, Conan also told the situation to Hattori Heiji who called him a few days ago - Hattori Heiji received the invitation from the Twilight Annex After the letter, I originally wanted to take Conan to play with him, but Conan was traveling with Maurilan and the others, so he could only refuse.

  However, Hattori Heiji unexpectedly met Jiang Xia in Tottori Prefecture.
