Conan’s Corpse Picker

However, unfortunately, Vodka's expectation did not work. Under his resentful gaze, the bus sent by the resort to pick up people finally arrived safely.

The bus was spacious and high-end. Looking through the windows with light-colored shading film, you can see that there are already several people sitting in the car.

"It looks good!" Suzuki Sonoko was quite satisfied with this means of transportation. "Before coming, I was worried that the 'original' forest life would be restored along with the hardship of surviving in the wilderness. Fortunately, it seems that this is indeed a resort for people to relax."

"Haha, of course." The tour guide couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He took the invitation letter and looked at it, and gestured to the new group of people, "You are the last batch of guests. You can sit anywhere in the empty seats in the car. Choose a place you like."

Vodka: "..." I want to choose outside the car.

He hesitated and didn't want to move forward, but others had already got on the bus. Vodka glanced at the car full of laughter and then at the empty forest behind him. A mountain breeze blew by, and he remembered Uzo's words "Bon voyage", and silently lowered his head and followed into the car.

He was looking around, trying to find a low-key and safe position, when a man stood up from his seat.

Vodka looked over vigilantly and saw a young man dressed neatly.

The man was a little surprised to see Suzuki Sonoko, and then smiled and greeted her: "Miss Suzuki? I didn't expect you to participate in this experience activity. I feel more at ease with someone I know."

Suzuki Sonoko laughed out loud, with a bit of guilt in her smile. She nodded and greeted perfunctorily, then pulled Mao Lilan and Jiang Xia to find a seat at a speed like fleeing in a panic and sat down.

She still remembered that when Mr. Kaibu handed them the invitation letter, he asked them to conceal their identities and not to reveal that this thing was sent by someone else - because the invitation letter was a real-name system, and they came to play under someone else's name, which violated the regulations.

Suzuki Sonoko agreed immediately. She thought the difficulty of hiding her identity was due to Jiang Xia, a celebrity. Unexpectedly, she was the first to be recognized.

Mao Lilan glanced at the young man and asked in a low voice curiously: "Is that your friend?"

Suzuki Sonoko also responded in a sneaky low voice: "Not really a friend, just met a few times at the banquet. Speaking of which..."

She touched her arm and felt a chill on her back: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that someone has been staring at me since I got on the car."

Conan was stunned and blurted out: "Do you have this feeling too?"

"Me too!" Mao Lilan joined the team. She shrank back in her seat. Suddenly she remembered something and her heart skipped a beat. "The name 'Lake of Sadness' is actually a little scary if you listen carefully. This... this car is not haunted."

Vodka, who was quietly sitting in the back seat and eavesdropping: "..."

Hey, idiot, where do ghosts come from in the world? You all felt that someone was staring at you, of course, because someone was really watching you - right there in the second-to-last row, a man and a woman, staring at you since you got on the bus.

I don't know where Uzo got the extras from, their eyes were sharp, but it was a pity that the two of them were hiding, so he couldn't see each other's faces clearly.

Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly stood up next to him.

Jiang Xia seemed to have discovered something, he turned around and walked straight to the second-to-last row.

Vodka, who was watching the show leisurely: "!"

What are you doing? The show is about to start so early? ! But I'm not ready yet!!

He sat up straight, turned his head along the way Jiang Xia was walking, looked at the back row vigilantly, and glanced at the window at the same time: while the car hasn't started yet, if something happens in the car, it's still time to jump out of the window!

...

While Vodka was deeply alert, Jiang Xia quickly walked to his destination.

At first, the man and woman were sitting leisurely in their seats, observing secretly through the gap between the headrests of the front seats.

However, as Jiang Xia approached, the two of them became visibly flustered. They began to try to cover their faces and pretend that they were just looking at the scenery, trying to reduce their presence.

Finally, when Jiang Xia stopped beside them, the two of them could no longer pretend not to see him.

The man held his baseball cap and a big mask over his head, lowering his head and muffledly saying, "What are you looking at? The car is about to start, why don't you go back and sit down!"

The woman next to him spoke almost at the same time as him: "Jiang Xia... Oh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you - then please keep it a secret for us."

Young man: "..."

He pulled off his mask, revealing a dark face, and whispered to the high school girl next to him: "We agreed not to reveal our identities, you guys are too quick to reveal it!"

Yuanshan Heye rolled his eyes: "You are also a detective, don't you know the observation power of detectives - Jiang Xia has come here, he must have recognized us, and pretending to be is just humiliating yourself, just like you just did."

Hatsuori Heiji blushed: "Nonsense! If you hadn't exposed yourself, he might not have recognized me, at most he would have thought I was more suspicious!"

Jiang Xia: "..." It's really not easy to recognize, after all, neither of you is murderous. But fortunately, the ghosts are curious, and they looked around as soon as they got on the car, and of course they recognized everyone they should recognize.

Next to him, Conan didn't expect that the two guys from Osaka would scare him.

His eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer at Hattori Heiji: "Forget it, your features are so obvious that you can't hide them with just a mask."

The dark-skinned Hattori Heiji snorted and held his chin up to mock: "You just discovered it now."

"..."Conan, "That's just because I'm not tall enough. You peeked at me and I immediately retracted my head. When I looked back, I could only see the back of the chair. Of course, I couldn't recognize it!"

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Jiang Xia picked a seat nearby and sat down. "Why are you here? What were you trying to do just now?"

Hattori Heiji: "..."

Toyama Kazuha: "..."

..."

"Well, I just helped my friend a little."

The bus started off slowly. Behind the bus, four people squeezed in the back seat and whispered to each other.

Hattori Heiji felt in his pocket and pulled out an envelope: "A journalist friend of mine took a job writing a promotional report for the Lake Beloved Resort, but he had something urgent to do and couldn't come, so he transferred the invitation letter for this experience to me."

Conan immediately understood: "The owner of the resort paid that reporter to write this report, but he didn't come, and asked you, a guy with average writing skills, to come and replace you... No wonder you two are so sneaky."

Hattori Heiji: "Hey! How can helping someone be called impersonation?"
