Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 687 The usage of different vests

   Late at night. Seeing the people who rushed into the hotel and hearing the news of them calling the police, Amuro felt the increasingly chaotic scene, and his mood was complicated.

  ...he has been fishing for a week. And now, for a Bourbon who's working on an organization, it's not a good time for the police to get involved.

   But if the police are confused enough...

  Amuro Toru thought of Gunma Prefecture, the police department assistant named Yamamura Cao.

   This kind of person can be mixed up like this, so the other police officers in this county may also be half-hearted.

  …

   Although this maple forest is located in the mountains, it is not far from the city.

  The police arrived shortly after.

   Amuro Toru was watching secretly, when he suddenly saw a few people he knew coming from the hall.

  ——Although it was already late at night, Kogoro Mouri was trapped in the stormy car last night, his schedule was reversed, and he has not been transferred until now. He was going to rest with his daughter and Conan just now, but they couldn't sleep due to various reasons.

   Now there is the sound of the police car squeaking from the window, the three of them moved their ears, hula la put on their clothes and ran down. Next door, "Belmode" disguised as Suzuki Sonoko also opened his eyes alertly and went down to the hall.

   In an instant, this place was occupied by Jiang Xia's acquaintances.

   Amuro Toru: "..."

   However, after thinking about it, what does Jiang Xia's acquaintance have to do with him?

  Isolation observation is over, just some people you know...

  Amuro Toru took a leisurely sip of coffee. The task of observing Jiang Xia is coming to an end, and the air of freedom is so beautiful.

  …

   As a detective and a former detective, Kogoro Mori wants to go up when he encounters a case. And now, there happens to be a junior next to him who is good at solving cases.

   In Maori Kogoro's view, Jiang Xia must look more reliable than these sleepy local policemen, and Jiang Xia should be planning to go up the mountain to take a look. This is the curiosity of detectives.

   As a result, he turned his head and found that Jiang Xia had his back to him, sitting on the rattan chair in the corner of the hall, with no intention of getting up at all.

   "Suzuki Sonoko"'s gaze has long since fallen there.

   She looked around in front of Jiang Xia curiously, and found that the young detective had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, so she made a silent gesture towards Maori Kogoro who was about to shout "Jiang Xia, let's go!". At the same time, he sighed. Jiang Xia is probably really tired. These days, in order to calculate Bourbon...cough, in order to deal with Bourbon's provocation, he has consumed too much unnecessary energy.

   While thinking, she glanced to the side, then frowned.

  Bourbon himself looked radiant and slept well. Oh, this intelligence agent seems to be working in various places, which must also include places that are open at night such as bars and clubs. Seeing how Bourbon had been dragging Jiang Xia in the hall just now, he probably wanted to consume Jiang Xia's energy in the field of staying up late, which he was good at?

  ...a crude, insidious, but unexpectedly useful strategy.

  Amuro didn't notice Belmode's eyes that contained murderous intent and condemnation.

   At this time, he was also looking at Jiang Xia and wondered in his heart - Jiang Xia had a good rest along the way. When he was driving, Jiang Xia was making up sleep in the co-pilot. ...Is it because I slept a lot these days, so I got used to sleeping for a long time instead?

  An Shitou looked at Jiang Xia, who was sleeping peacefully in the chair, and then thought about the days when he had difficulty closing his eyes a few days ago. He was in a complicated mood and walked over to wake him coldly.

  ... It's not that he cares about children, but in front of Belmod, Bourbon would not considerately let Jiang Xia leave the task and continue to sleep because of "the subordinates are sleeping".

   It's not okay to indulge the outer members like this, Bourbon is not that kind of person...

  …

at the same time.

   Thousands of meters away, in a dark maple forest.

   Jiang Xia, who was driving the Matsuda puppet, intensified his beating, and used three times the speed to smash the murderous aura of the last murderous aura.

   Then he threw away the belt he had captured, walked to a corner where no one was watching, scattered the puppet, and returned to his main body.

   When the alarm sounded in the hotel, the ghost who stayed beside the main body told him the relevant news.

   It's just that the distance between the two sides is a little far, and there will be a slight delay in the transmission of this kind of news. In addition, he had already started smoking, and it was as uncomfortable as peeling an orange and only peeling half of it, so he delayed for a while.

  Fortunately, he is indeed staying up late today, and his reaction is a little slower, which is normal...

   After ten seconds.

In the    Chishu Hotel, Jiang Xia opened his eyes and looked around.

   A group of people saw him "wake up" and briefly told him the current situation in the hotel and the fact that a camper had found the body, but no one really doubted the situation just now. After all, "a person who sleeps in front of them is actually knocking someone in the mountains", it is estimated that no one will believe it.

  Jiang Xia showed the surprised expression he should have, and his curiosity about the scene, and nodded to indicate that he knew.

   Then mixed among them and went up the mountain with a few gossip crowds.

   There is a sudden death in the surrounding area, how could the detective not come and take a look. Even if that mountain is already familiar to him, very familiar, very familiar...

  …

   came to the filming location again, and the red handkerchiefs and maple leaves fluttered in the secluded trees.

   And the man who was the assistant of "Maple Red in Winter" before, who asked them to help leave a message on the guest book of the hotel, has now turned into a corpse.

   He fell motionless under the tree next to the policeman who was setting up lights.

   As Jiang Xia approached, he found that on the ground, among the dead leaves, lay a handbook, half of which was buried by the leaves rolling in the wind.

  The notebook is dark and unremarkable at night.

   He remembered that he was peeping on the mountain with Toru Amuro and saw the deceased holding the notebook before he died. He bent down and picked up the tent.

   All the way to the present, Jiang Xia has been able to find various clues at the crime scene very proficiently, and collect them easily. In order to avoid the embarrassing scene of "difficult to explain the source of key information" when solving the case - he can't say "Conan told me" like Kudo Shinichi, Conan is Kudo Shinichi's vest, all of which are from the red side good friend. He is not, he can't always say "Wuzo told me", then the anonymous public security will probably block the venue soon, trying to find his precious vest...

   In short, it seems that the last handbook that the deceased touched is undoubtedly a pre-death message, and it is also an important check-in point.

   This is a dedicated schedule book with dates printed in advance.

  Cut in from the loosest part, open it, and see the place "April 1st". A **** fingerprint was pressed on it. It should be the deceased who finally grabbed a handful on it.
