Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2342 2346 [Acting is tiring] Asking for monthly tickets (づど)

"Wait for the bus to pick us up? How long will we have to wait? By then, they may only pick up a pile of corpses."

The others remembered the schedule of this vacation and could no longer sit still. The senior who knew Suzuki Sonoko thought of something and suggested, "No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. While it's still light, let's walk back together - as long as we go back to the place where we got off before, we can always wait for a passing car, and then we will be safe!"

This plan sounds good, and everyone nodded when they heard it.

But the rich lady had some objections. She hesitated and said, "Wait, if we leave, will the two lifetime membership coupons for the resort still be issued?"

Her husband was no longer in the mood to coax his wife, and said impatiently, "What time is it, and you are still talking about this!"

The rich lady was also anxious: "But I came to this hellhole just for it, and I'm here..."

Vodka: "..."This woman is obsessed with money. Can she use "I'm here" as a reason for action when her life is at stake? ...But judging from her previous reaction, she seemed to know Jiang Xia, and maybe even had contact with him in private. It's no wonder that Uzo is a bit of a brainwasher.

"That..."

When the couple was arguing, a weak voice came and interrupted their conversation.

Yuyama Kazuha pointed out the window, with a bad feeling in her heart: "There seems to be smoke over there."

Jiang Xia walked to her side, looked out, and frowned: "I remember the suspension bridge we walked on when we came here, it seems to be in that direction."

"?!" Others, "You mean..."

Jiang Xia sighed, his face a little solemn: "I hope it's not what I think-let's go over and take a look first."

The group nodded in panic, not even taking the luggage, and hurried over there with only the important items they carried with them.

"Dr. Shinde" followed silently behind: "..."Cool Guy really should learn acting from his classmate...By the way, how did Yukiko teach him back then? How come all the acting skills were inherited by this neighbor's child?

…

The two cadres of the organization who knew that the Wuzo element was too strong here had already given up hope of "escaping" when they saw the body falling from the sky. Their anxiety at this time was just a formality to avoid being treated as a suspect.

The mentality of others was completely different. They ran to the suspension bridge as fast as if they were running for their lives, praying that the suspension bridge was safe while running.

However, in such a place without signal, prayers often do not work: as soon as they arrived near the canyon, they saw a blazing fire in front of them-the 20-30-meter-long suspension bridge had been engulfed by flames, and the old wood and the ropes wrapped around it twisted and burned, occasionally making a slight explosion.

A group of people stopped in their tracks, not knowing how to put out such a large fire. And as they watched, the flame suspension bridge reached its limit, and the ropes connecting the two banks broke with a bang, and the long strip of flames roared and fell into the river below.

The suspension bridge fell into the water, splashing a huge splash. Before the flames on it were completely extinguished, the turbulent water had washed the bridge away.

... This was completely hopeless.

The tour guide's knees went weak and he sat down dejectedly on the ground: "This is the only way to leave here... How could this happen!"

Jiang Xia walked to the shore, looked down at the smoking ashes on the ground, and looked far away at the opposite bank of the river: "This fire should have been lit from our side."

Everyone stared at him blankly, unable to understand the meaning for a while.

Fortunately, there were other high school student detectives translating at the same time. Hattori Heiji frowned and looked at everyone with a deeper look: "It seems that the worst thing has happened - after the murderer killed Mr. Kurata and hid him in the tree, he did not escape from here, but burned the suspension bridge, trapping everyone in this resort."

The three female high school students were horrified: "Is he trying to..."

"Dr. Shinide" saw Conan was about to join the conversation, so he spoke first as if nothing had happened: "Maybe he has taken a fancy to this place, so he burned the suspension bridge and wanted to avoid being wanted in this Jedi where no one can enter."

After saying that, she found that Conan still wanted to take over the conversation, so she had to say: "If that's the case, we are in danger - in order to prevent the leak of information, that guy may do something extreme... such as silencing."

Conan: "..." What's wrong with this doctor today, why is he talking so much? Does he really want to show himself in front of Xiaolan?

Jiang Xia also looked at Vermouth twice more: "..." This fake school doctor is very proactive today. He has long said that all organizational cadres have the potential to be detectives. Vermouth hides in Teitan High School, where there are few cases every day. It is really a waste of talent.

Vermouth was ready to interrupt at any time, but she suddenly saw Wu Zuo's eyes looking at her.

Looking at that admiring look, her whole body stiffened slightly, and she felt something was wrong: "..." Oops, I seem to be a little abnormal, am I stepping on that guy's stage?

When she thought of the "stage", Vermouth couldn't help but look at Vodka, who was the most threatening to her at this time.

Vodka: "?"

... What does this woman who has become Wu Zuo's accomplice want to do to me?

...

Although being "stranded on the same island with a brutal murderer" is scary, there is no point in staying on the edge of the cliff without the suspension bridge.

The wooden suspension bridge that was on fire could easily be swallowed up by the rushing river. With this lesson in mind, everyone had no intention of jumping down and risking their lives, and returned to the camp withered heads.

When they returned to the room and closed the door, the sense of security provided by the house made several people who were scared out of their wits gradually come back to their senses.

The wealthy real estate businessman took a deep breath, smoothed a handful of his gray hair, slapped it on the table, and continued to attack the tour guide: "Tell me, what should we do now! That murderer is probably hiding near us. ah!"

Vodka glanced at Jiang Xia, who was sitting opposite him: "..." That's quite right.

The scolded tour guide grabbed his hair and also collapsed: "I don't know either..."

The old doctor thought for a while: "I remember that there is a forest to the south, with no rivers or lakes blocking it. If we go out from there..."

"It is very dangerous to walk through an undeveloped forest without a map or a guide." The senior Suzuki Sonoko knew shook his head and looked at the tour guide, "But if Mr. Kujo knows the way... "

Everyone was refreshed and looked at it expectantly.

Tour guide: "...but I haven't been there either. In fact, this is my second time here."

Everyone: "..."
