Conan’s Corpse Picker

Vodka didn't dare to make any more tricks and said weakly: "There is still a small number with the Nagano Prefectural Police. I will ask them to come over right away."

Although he was severely beaten, he could act as long as he had breath left here.

Gin skillfully did not slap him in the face, so Vodka was able to change his clothes and return to the Metropolitan Police Department.

This pig teammate who was thrown into the police camp is actually quite useful once he understands how to use it.

Not long after, Jiang Xia had several photos of the murder scene, villa design drawings, and other fragmentary information in her hands.

"That's right." Vodka said in a low voice, not daring to look directly at him, "When I was beaten... well, I mean during the time when I was reflecting, Gui Hengping died - I don't know where the rumor came from. Say you were seen in the host's lounge."

Belmode frowned: "Dead? Isn't there police protection around him?"

Vodka lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. For the first time, he experienced the trouble caused by Little Pig: "Gui Hengping wanted to go to the bathroom, but the police actually let him go in by himself, and then..."

"..." Belmod followed Jiang Xia the whole time and knew very well the order of messages left by the writer, "Then the information he holds..."

"It's not a big problem." Jiang Xia said, "If I guess correctly, his message before his death should be 'Ask Tomomi Nonaka'."

"How do you know?" Bellmode was startled. At first she thought Jiang Xia had installed a bug somewhere, but she quickly remembered something, "Nonaka Tomomi... By the way, it's the last memory, it's the writer who was looking for death with beauty. The one who plotted clues?"

Jiang Xia nodded and looked at Vodka.

A jolt of vodka.

"Leave it to you." Jiang Xia looked like she was planning to make the best use of everything. "Find where she is, then lead people to ambush around, wait for the murderer to come to the door, and capture the murderer alive. It's very simple - if that's the case If you can't handle simple things well, you should die here to apologize."

Vodka: "..."

…

The whereabouts of Nonaka Tomomi is not difficult to find.

She was on a business trip for the company, so Vodka went all out to investigate quietly and quickly found her location.

——Yasawa Hotel in Karuizawa.

…

After discussing with the partners, Nonaka Tomomi returned to the hotel.

Just as I was about to take a rest, I suddenly heard a strange movement at the door.

She was startled, turned around and saw a piece of paper being handed in through the crack in the door below.

"...?" After all, Nonaka Tomomi is not a member of a dark organization, nor is she a victim of persecution delusion. Without thinking too much, she walked to the door and picked up the note.

I saw a few words written on it: "Come to the grove behind the hotel. I have something important to discuss with you - Kurosawa."

"...Why is it so sneaky?" Nonaka Tomomi felt a little strange.

However, remembering that Kurosawa seemed to be the leader of the "small group that helped Jiang Xia get out of crime", and that he had unfortunately been roped into the group a few days ago, Nonaka Tomomi suddenly understood - to discuss matters related to Jiang Xia, a fugitive wanted criminal, It's normal to be a little sneaky. And maybe Mr. Kurosawa is being watched by the police because of his too active helping behavior.

With this thought in mind, Nonaka Tomomi closed the door and came to the woods.

In the distance, a burly figure wearing a hat, mask and gloves, with his whole body covered tightly, saw Tomomi Nonaka walking out from the side, with a cruel sneer on his lips.

He followed quietly.

…

Nonaka Tomomi stopped in the woods, looked around and saw a man walking over.

She took a few steps towards him, but couldn't see his face clearly, so she confirmed in surprise: "Mr. Kurosawa?"

The man nodded, his voice hoarse: "Think carefully, did Mr. Tachibana tell you anything related to the 'clue' at the birthday party that day?"

"..." Nonaka Tomomi vaguely felt that his voice was a little strange, and it was different from Kurosawa's usual voice, but then she thought about it, maybe she had a cold. So her attention quickly focused on the question, "Things related to clues? Let me think about it... Ah, by the way, when I asked him where the manuscript was that day, he said something strange to me - Said that if anyone came to me and asked me for a clue, let me tell that person, 'This is the end of it.'"

The man was silent for a moment, as if thinking: "I see..."

Nonaka Tomomi waited for a while and couldn't help but asked: "Um, is there anything else?"

"Well, there's only one thing left that I need your help with." The mysterious man glanced at her, put his hand into his pocket, and when he pulled it out, there was a cold dagger in his hand, "Please be someone who won't leak anything." Secret dead man."

"?!" Nonaka Tomomi was stunned. Although she didn't know what happened, her instinct told her to turn around and run away.

There is no way a tired woman in high heels can outrun a well-prepared murderer. Originally, she was going to die in this forest soon, but at this moment, a person suddenly appeared from behind the thick tree next to her.

Jiang Xia grabbed Nonaka Tomomi's arm and swung him to the side, just in time to avoid the sharp blade that slashed down.

Nonaka Tomomi fell out in a daze. Just as she was holding on to the tree trunk to stand still, she looked up and saw a straight, silver-haired man standing in front of her - Kurosawa, the Kurosawa who said he wanted to kill her!

"ah--!!!"

Nonaka Tomomi didn't realize why there were two Kurosawas. She wanted to run away, but Gin took her back and couldn't bear it. She pinched her neck from behind and pointed at the place where she came just now.

Nonaka Tomomi was forced to turn her head and saw in a daze that there was "Mr. Kurosawa" behind her. The man who was covered tightly was grabbed by Jiang Xia's wrist and flicked, slamming to the ground.

"..." The forest became dead silent for a moment.

Nonaka Tomomi finally reacted: "He, he is fake?"

"Huh." If it were true, you might not be able to run this far.

Jiang Xia turned to look at Vodka and waved to the "policeman" as if summoning a coolie: "Come here, take the people and go to Ju Wuliu's villa. If you find it troublesome, you can also ask your policemen to come over." Driver – it’s time for this to end.”

…………

If the duration of the game space exceeds a certain limit, the murderous energy consumed will increase exponentially.

It just so happened that a lot of murderous aura had been gathered now. In addition to the main stock of wine and apple flavors, he also rarely got a large amount of ice cream-flavored murderous aura. Jiang Xia was quite satisfied with this harvest.

On the way there, Gin glanced at the mysterious masked man who called himself "Kurosawa". After all, he still cared a little about the real murderer, and reached out to pull off his mask.

...However, it was not pulled off.

"...?"

Gin tried it a few more times in disbelief.
