Conan’s Corpse Picker

Conan went confidently.

Then he came back with an ugly expression.

"The kidnapper didn't let Dr. Endo get on the train at all." Conan said angrily, "I didn't realize anything was wrong until I arrived at the transaction location, but it was already too late - the width of the rails in front of the platform was less than 10 meters, and there was a A high wall made of barbed wire. The kidnapper rode a motorcycle past the barbed wire and used Keita as a threat, asking Dr. Endo to throw his briefcase to him. "

Hui Yuan Ai was startled: "They didn't bring that child with them?"

"No." Conan sighed, "In fact, the ransom should not be paid directly, but the kidnapper only said, 'Don't forget that your child is still in our hands,' and Doctor Endo threw the money away in fear. …I didn’t have time to stop him.”

As he spoke, Conan clicked on his glasses: "Fortunately, I installed a transmitter in advance and wrote down the guy's motorcycle license plate - Doctor, let's go and catch up with the kidnapper!"

"Look at me!" Dr. Ali rolled up his sleeves and stepped on the accelerator of his little Beetle, feeling like he was racing.

But soon he realized a question: "Where to pursue?"

"Go to... hmm?" Conan called up the signal, and was startled. After a moment, his expression turned to surprise, "The signal point has stopped moving. It seems that the kidnapper's hiding place is nearby - go there. Open on the side!”

"Such a coincidence?" Haiyuan Ai couldn't believe it and thought there was something weird about it. She turned to look at Jiang Xia, only to see Jiang Xia lowering her head and pressing her cell phone, as if she was not in a hurry.

"..." Haiyuan Ai felt a little relieved for some reason: as long as Jiang Xia is not in a hurry, the problem should not be big. But...who is Jiang Xia messaging at this time?

Just as he was thinking about it, Conan's excited voice came from the co-pilot: "We're here, stop the car!"

"Are we here?" Dr. Ali was stunned for a moment. He looked at the place pointed by Conan with a confused look on his face. "Isn't this an alley? Do they live in an alley?"

Conan also felt strange, but even though he was here, he jumped out of the car and rushed over.

At this time, of course, the righteous high school detective cannot just sit still. Jiang Xia also opened the door and got out of the car, and entered the alley with him.

The alley is damp and backlit, with a lot of garbage placed against the wall.

Jiang Xia glanced at it and quickly landed on a corner - among the white garbage bags piled up, a brown leather suitcase was randomly thrown among them. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a round bulge in the corner of the suitcase, which is the transmitter that Conan secretly attached before.

"It's terrible." Seeing this scene, Conan immediately understood. He angrily punched the innocent wall next to him, "They took the ransom and threw the suitcase away - these guys are too cunning! But still Okay, I've written down the kidnapper's motorcycle license plate. I just need to ask the traffic police to investigate and they can confirm the owner of the car..."

"I'm afraid not." Jiang Xia walked over and revealed an even more ominous fact, "Look."

Conan was startled, and looked along where he was pointing, and saw a square object stuck headfirst into the garbage behind the suitcase.

"This is..." He stretched out his hand and pulled out a familiar motorcycle license plate.

Conan: "..."

Conan: "How dare they use fake license plates?!"

Jiang Xia: "..." They dared to kidnap someone. Wouldn't it be very reasonable to use fake license plates?

He looked up at the sky. The balloon whale from Japan TV Station was still circling tirelessly. Suddenly Jiang Xia said: "Let's go back to the Starlight Hotel and have a look."

Dr. Ali and Haibara Ai, who had just jogged over, asked: "Starlight Hotel?"

…

Among luxury hotels.

Amuro Toru was wearing a security uniform and was patrolling back and forth. Suddenly, the tip of his nose felt itchy, and he turned around and sneezed three times in a row.

"Have you caught a cold?" Thinking about the pressure on his shoulders these days, Toru Amuro accepted the situation calmly, "When I successfully get Taku Itakura, I will give myself half a day off to relax."

While muttering to himself, he suddenly stopped in his steps.

——Outside the hotel gate, a small yellow Beetle roared towards me at a speed that was not its own, and then came to a screeching halt. Before the vehicle could stop, the door opened and four people jumped out with a clatter.

...Everyone has a face that Tohru Amuro doesn't want to see.

Toru Amuro: "..."

We agreed to stay away from here. What happened to this employee? He didn't even listen to the advice at all!

While reprimanding in his mind, he lowered the brim of his hat and silently retreated into the corridor before the people at the door saw him.

As expected, the four people didn't notice him. After entering the door, Jiang Xia strode to the front desk and whispered something. The front desk's face changed slightly and handed him a room card.

Jiang Xia took the card, led the others straight to the elevator, swiped the card and went upstairs.

Looking at the upward numbers on the elevator screen, Toru Amuro walked to the front desk along a hidden place, pretending to be performing his security duties: "Why are those guests in such a hurry? What happened?"

The receptionist looked upstairs with some fear: "The gentleman said that they were looking for kidnappers and asked me to keep quiet."

After saying that, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be speaking out, and she quickly covered her mouth with regret, then grabbed Toru Amuro and warned: "Human life is at stake, don't tell anyone - otherwise, if the kidnappers find out, the hostages may suffer terrible consequences." Silence us and we will kill people!"

Toru Amuro: "..." Kidnapper?

...in this hotel?

There was a thump in his heart, and he suddenly had an even worse premonition than when Gin was approaching.

…

There is an open-air restaurant on the 15th floor of Starlight Hotel.

Jiang Xia stopped here, then pushed open the door and came to the rooftop.

Looking out from here, a chimney in the distance is slowly rising green smoke.

He looked down at the route of the Blue Whale hot air balloon, raised his hand and gestured towards the chimney: "Look at this smoke, does it look like a rising water column?"

Hui Yuan Ai looked over there blankly. At first she didn't quite understand what Jiang Xia meant, but after remembering the blue whale swimming in the sky, she understood: "When that child saw the whale hot air balloon, It coincided with the smoke rising from the chimney, so he thought it was a whale spouting water!"

"That's it!" Dr. Ali suddenly realized it at first, but then became confused again, "There are whales, but what about crabs? There is nothing similar to crabs in that direction."

"There really isn't one in that direction." Jiang Xia walked to a dining table on the terrace, stretched out her hand and patted the table, "But there is one here."

"...Huh?" Dr. Ali looked at the round white table and then at Jiang Xia's palm, "There was a crab on the table just now? Did you hold it?"
