Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 76 What did you do at night to ask for a monthly pass≧≦

   The next day, Amuro woke up very early.

   The bedding was a bit hard, and I was not used to sleeping.

   More importantly, yesterday's strange event still had an impact on him.

   - He dreamed of a giant mouse hiding in the car and gnawing on his tires. In the dream, after Amuro was surprised, he captured this strange mutant mouse and sent it to the national research institute, but the research institute found a new type of zombie virus in the mouse... Then Amuro fought zombies all night in the dream , and finally woke up suddenly when surrounded by a large number of zombies.

   At this time, it was just dawn, and although it was time for the monks to get up, it was still early for them.

  Amuro Toru tried to fall asleep, but failed—as soon as he closed his eyes, the **** mouths of mutant mice and mutant zombies swayed back and forth in front of his eyes, making people sleepless.

  Amuro had no choice but to sit up again with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

   He glanced enviously at Jiang Xia, who was sleeping comfortably beside him, and planned to get up to see if the car he called had arrived.

   Who knew that when he was passing by the dining room, he suddenly heard a vague scream.

   Amuro was startled, and ran after the voice.

   Due to the distance of the screams and the unfamiliarity with the place, Toru Amuro wasn't quite sure where the voices were.

On the way   , he met two other little monks - one just came out of the dining room and one just came out of the kitchen. The two monks looked at each other and headed towards the confinement room with a clear goal.

   Amuro Toru followed behind, slightly puzzled. Even if the monks knew the layout of the temple well, they didn't just hear a scream, so they could find the source of the sound immediately.

   The detective's instinct made him frown.

   Combined with the unfinished "two years ago" that the little monks said last night, Amuro felt that there was a problem with this temple, and the problem was not small.

   Soon, they ran to the door of the confinement room.

   Senior Brother sat down by the door with weak legs and feet. Seeing other people approaching, he shivered and pointed to the sky: "I, I saw the door of the confinement room was open, so I came in and took a look, and it turned out..."

  Amuro walked into the door, looked up, and his eyes were solemn—the roof was nearly ten meters high, and the old abbot was hanging from the beam like a piece of dried bacon.

  …

Five minutes later, Amuro finished calling the police and waited for the police to arrive.

   He was worried that the monks in the monastery would stop him or secretly cut the telephone line.

   However, neither situation happened, which made Amuro Toru feel a little relieved - since he can successfully contact the outside world, it means that this time should not be a serial murder case, it may be the suicide of the old monk, or it may be a common murder.

   If it is the latter, then there is a murderer hiding among these four seemingly simple and honest little monks.

   So, before asking about the situation, Amuro Toru went to the guest room and planned to call Jiang Xia up. In case he worked hard to find out the truth, the murderer turned his head and took the pig teammates as hostages...

   It's not that Amuro thinks too much. Whether it's partnering with the police or partnering with members of the organization, he has experienced it too many times.

   The difference is that he did his best to save his colleagues in the public security, while his colleagues in the organization...

   Well, this is probably one of the reasons why few people in the organization are willing to partner with him.

   At present, Jiangxia can only be regarded as an accomplice of the organization. However, Amuro had hope for him, and he might become a colleague in the future, so he couldn't ignore it.

   "Jiang Xia." An Shitou pushed open the door of the guest room, "Wake up, someone is dead."

After shouting   , he planned to go back to reason. However, after two steps, no movement was heard.

  An Shitou returned to the door of the guest room again, and saw Jiang Xia under the quilt motionless, with no intention of getting up.

   Amuro was startled.

  Although it is still early, it is already dawn. When people are very light in sleep, when they hear someone call their name and add keywords such as "dead", will they fall asleep so deeply?

   Besides, Jiang Xia is not an ordinary person. His alertness should be much higher than that of normal people.

   After a moment of silence, Toru Amuro suddenly had a bad guess.

   Shouldn't it be, it's not "sleep like dead", but really dead...

   Someone could kill someone next to him in the middle of the night without disturbing him! ?

  Amuro thought of the tire that broke inexplicably yesterday, and his heart sank. He took a few steps to the side of the bed, shouted "Jiang Xia!", and pushed the person to the side.

  I thought that on Jiang Xia's neck, I would see a stubble that was exactly the same as that on the tire...but it didn't.

   Touched again and found that the person was warm and had a pulse.

   "..." Amuro's eyes jumped twice, a very pale blue vein appeared on his forehead, he grabbed the person and shook it, "Wake up."

   After shaking for several seconds, Jiang Xia finally opened his eyes.

  An Shitou looked at him, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind—Jiang Xia looked so tired, could it be because he secretly did something bad last night, such as hanging up the old monk...

   But soon, Amuro Toru rejected this conjecture again.

   He is very confident in his level of alertness. Jiang Xia did go out last night, but he came back not long after that. That time was definitely not enough for him to kill and hang people. Later, he was in the room all the time - Jiang Xia had no time to commit the crime, and no motive.

   After coming to this conclusion, Amuro sighed, why is he always suspicious today... He let go of his hand and stood up: "Go to the hall first, there is a murder in the temple."
