Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 690 The Last Case

   In addition to Mian Guan Tatsuzo, the other two suspects who were singled out were a guest who used vulgar language and looked like a vulgar gangster; and a foreigner.

   Mori Kogoro looked at the three suspects in neat order and just right, and his reasoning was about to move.

He whispered to Jiang Xia: "Generally people leave their names in Chinese characters. But the name that the assistant asked us to write in the message was the pronunciation of 'ホヅミ'. 'ホヅミ' should be written as 'Suiji'. The two characters are quite complicated, so the deceased probably wrote this for the convenience of the guests to read? - For example, the guest is an old man with poor eyesight, so he can't read the characters." He looked at Mian Guan Chensan, and then turned to the little boy. The gangster, "Or the guest didn't read well, and he doesn't know how to read Chinese characters. Or..." Kogoro Mori glanced at Toru Amuro for the last time and lowered his voice, "Is the guest a foreigner who is not good at Chinese characters?"

  Maolilan had long noticed that they were whispering, and secretly came over to listen.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but interjected to retort: ​​"But Mr. Amuro has no foreign accent at all, and his name doesn't sound like a foreigner at all--the deceased assistant teacher said that he only contacted the guests by phone, in that case, He would not consider Mr. Amuro a foreigner at all."

   She always felt that Amuro was not like a bad person. Not only because Amuro himself looks kinder, but also because Jiang Xia - it is said that people are divided into groups, and friends of friends should be good people.

   Belmod, wearing the skin of Suzuki Sonoko, nodded in agreement, but sighed inwardly. Innocent angel, Bourbon is not a good thing... but this is just like her, she always thinks about the good side of people.

  …

   Yamamura didn't hear the muttering behind him.

   He stared at the three suspects intently, thinking for a long time, but also did not understand which one was the murderer.

   At this time, his efficient subordinate trotted over: "The Yamamura Police Department has supplemented, we have got the list of crew members. But... there is no one named 'Hoizumi'. The deceased may have lied."

   Jiang Xia leaned over to look at the list and punched in the clue points.

   Yamamura took the list, glanced at it, and shouted: "There is no need for the deceased to lie? You should get a serious list, and there are dates mixed in it!"

   He raised his hand and pointed to the bottom row.

   That does say "August 1st"

The    subordinate touched his head suspiciously: "...It's a serious list, maybe they sent it wrong? I-I'll check again." Then he ran away.

  Conan cocked his ears, searching for all the information around him.

   Hearing this, he was suddenly startled and understood.

   Amuro also understood something and glanced at Jiang Xia.

I saw that Jiang Xia did not have the expression "So it is", which represented a sudden realization, nor was he confused... It seems that this genius detective had already known the **** fingerprint when he got the deceased's handbook just now. What does "April 1st" mean? It's just because they are doing tasks for the organization now, it is not good to solve the case so quickly, otherwise their task target will fall into the hands of the police.

  Thinking about it, Amuro Toru sighed regretfully.

   In the current situation, Jiang Xia's reasoning ability and observation ability obviously cannot continue to be used in solving the case.

However, it is possible to use the identity of a detective to complete the task of the organization - after the police are involved, the scene will inevitably become more difficult to control. He and Jiang Xia must let Mian Guanchen San find the corpse five years ago as soon as possible, and then Candid photos of relevant evidence.

   Although he had already relied on "leaving information during small talk" before, Tatsuzo Mianguan narrowed the scope of his search.

   But now it seems that time is not enough, and it will be faster.

   For example... Let Jiang Xia pretend to be a lone hero, find an opportunity to lead Mian Guanchen San to the burial ground, and directly deliver the answer to this slow-witted veteran cadre?

   Under Amuro Toru's gaze, Jiang Xia quickly understood what was going on.

   He recalled what Conan looked like just now and copied it on the spot. His eyebrows moved slightly, with an "I understand!" look.

   Then put away the excitement after seeing the truth, frowning slightly, as if suffering from the lack of some evidence.

  Amuro watched this scene, and while he was relieved, there was a hint of complexity.

  ... Jiang Xia is not only smart in solving cases, but also in other aspects.

   But the more he did, the more he had the feeling that he was pushing this young man into the abyss of crime with his own hands... Tsk, if Belmod wasn't around, he wouldn't have to look like Bourbon.

   Hateful organization, hateful Belmod.

  …………

at the same time.

   When Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru were planning to go fishing.

   A self-conscious bait has turned around silently and ran to the door, wanting to go up the mountain to confirm one thing.

  ——Conan now has all the clues he needs to know, but he is still close to confirming it.

   In addition, he realized that even if confirmed, the police seemed to have a hard time finding physical evidence.

   So, you have to take a little bait. A little bait for the real murderer, Mian Guan Chensan...

  …………

   Jiang Xia didn't see Conan's movement, but Xiaobai, who was floating beside him, saw it.

  It seems to appreciate Conan, who also likes to give other people anesthesia, so when there is no murderousness, no ghosts and shikigami, he will look at Conan more when he has nothing to do.

   After discovering that Conan was going to risk himself again, Xiaobai proficiently poked Jiang Xia and complained.

   Jiang Xia swept his eyes to the door. He originally planned to pick a fast and enthusiastic puppet, follow him into the mountains, and give Conan a shot in the dark, or a knife... or be gentle and pick up a sack and put it back.

   But before he could act, a figure passed by silently and lightly in the corner of his line of sight—"Suzuki Sonoko" was also keenly aware of Conan's movements and chased after him.

  “…”

   Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, saving the energy of putting the puppet out.

  Belmode knows both Conan's habits and the organization's behavior, so he should be able to handle things properly.

  …………

  Conan crossed the corridor and ran to the hotel door. In his mind, he kept thinking about the operation process to bring out the real culprit and bring out the evidence together.

But before the plan was fully formed, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, gently scooping him up like a chicken, followed by the other hand. A handkerchief tightly covered his mouth and nose.

  “?!!”

  Conan was sprinting and was short of breath. When I came back to my senses, I was already unfortunate.

  The foreground object swayed, and the familiar feeling of dizziness came like a flood... Familiar is because after he became Conan, it seemed that he had been anesthetized several times by anonymous people. Although it is not an anesthesia needle this time, the effect is the same.
