Conan’s Corpse Picker

The enthusiastic male college student was walking at the front. At this time, he looked back at Jiang Xia and his group, and took the initiative to slow down his pace.

When Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan were talking, they deliberately did not hide their volume.

There were a few people who were preparing to climb the mountain nearby. Hearing this, he glanced in their direction.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan, who was very friendly, suppressed her nervousness, smiled, and nodded to the people who looked over as naturally as possible.

——According to what Jiang Xia said before, among these people, there may be the killer codenamed "Silver Fox"... Huh, it's really scary to think about it. She repeatedly simulated various offensive and defensive moves in her mind, secretly clenching her fists.

The mountaineers didn't know what was going on in this cute girl's mind. They only saw a sunny and cheerful high school girl. So they all responded with friendly nods.

Upon seeing this, the client, Chao Wenzao, took the opportunity to walk next to them, pretending to be acquainted climbers, and planned to go up the mountain together later.

At this time, a male college student next to him also came over and said enthusiastically to Mao Lilan:

"You look like a novice? I climb this mountain regularly every year and am familiar with the environment here. If you... are worried about getting lost, you can follow me in a while."

"..." Conan glanced at him faintly and, relying on the fact that he was a child, stretched out his hands to push him further away. "No need to bother, we know the way." As he said that, he pulled Jiang Xia over and said, "Yeah Jiang ...Brother Dong.”

Halfway through the words, Conan, who was soaked in a vinegar vat, finally came to his senses - Jiang Xia's identity as a detective could not be exposed, as that would alert Silver Fox.

But then...

He looked up at Jiang Xia's face, which was covered by a hat and mask, and sighed sadly. This is not easy to use to block the romantic relationship... Could it be that he can only rely on his own efforts today?

Just as I was thinking about it, another person came next to me.

Judging from the body shape, he is still a man.

Conan raised his head rather unhappily and was about to push this person away.

But soon, he discovered that he was an acquaintance.

The visitor had a bit of blond hair exposed from the brim of his hat, his skin was darker, and his facial features were darker than those of ordinary Asians - he was the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.

"..."

Jiang Xia didn't say that his boss would also come...

Conan looked at Jiang Xia doubtfully and saw that Jiang Xia seemed quite surprised by this.

Toru Amuro, like the previous client, pretended to be a passerby who came to say hello.

He came closer, casually explained the reason for his sudden appearance today, and said in a low voice: "I dropped by the place where the client was examined and found that he had not been misdiagnosed. There may be something wrong with this person, and I just happened to be fine today. So come and take a look.”

Conan: "..."

If it is found that there is a problem with the client, why not just call Jiang Xia and tell him, but instead follow him directly and carry out a surprise attack?

...Jiang Xia, the boss, alternates between "suspicious" and "maybe a good person" every day.

Conan silently added the name "Toru Amuro" to his watch list for today.

At the same time, he turned to look at Jiang Xia: Jiang Xia would definitely notice the abnormal behavior of Toru Amuro.

However, Jiang Xia didn't seem to mind this at all. On the contrary, there was suddenly an additional person in the travel team, and his mood was vaguely better than before: "So that's it."

Conan: "?"

It was impossible for Jiang Xia not to discover the problem. Now his reaction... Could it be that Boss Amuro often used to hide information like this?

The mysterious scumbag boss...

His vigilance towards Toru Amuro increased again.

…

Jiang Xia didn't pay much attention to Conan's secret observation.

Toru Amuro glanced down thoughtfully.

Seeing that Toru Amuro seemed to care a lot about his two classmates, Jiang Xia explained: "Yesterday when I went to buy mountaineering equipment, I happened to meet them. They said they wanted to come and see them together."

"Hmm..." Toru Amuro looked at the slender girl and the child who was no taller than an adult's legs. He originally wanted to say: It would be dangerous to involve them.

But before speaking, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, in the Mihua Art Theater, the solid wood railing was cracked by Mao Lilan's kick in the air, and he fell silent again.

……never mind.

When Jiang Xia was talking to his classmates just now, the volume was louder than usual. It may not be obvious to strangers, but it is obvious to acquaintances. This shows that Jiang Xia must have told the two fellow travelers the purpose of their mountain climbing and the dangers of climbing, instead of just kidnapping two innocent people to use as cover.

And these two innocent people don't seem to be as weak as they look...

Toru Amuro didn't think about it any more.

Seeing the client approaching, he turned to the topic:

"The 'Silver Fox' has a secretive whereabouts and is also very good at counter-tracking. There is not much information about him. We don't even know his gender at the moment. We can only judge from the traces at his previous assassination site that he is left-handed. And compared with guns and bombs , he seems to prefer traditional assassination methods, using knives, throwing knives, bows and crossbows..."

When he said the last sentence, Toru Amuro glanced at the client, Shio Fumizou, and obviously remembered the sniper rifle incident yesterday - this was inconsistent with Silver Fox's usual tactics.

Chao Wenzao noticed his gaze, looked away, and snorted coldly:

"Maybe Silver Fox just suddenly wanted to develop a new assassination method. Moreover, maybe he has shot people before, but those who died from gunshots were not counted in his name, and it became a headless case. That's why It gives people the illusion that he only uses cold weapons... I hope he doesn't like to use guns. In a place like this, sniper rifles are too difficult to defend against."

As he spoke, he briefly looked at the dense trees on the mountain, but then quickly looked away, focusing on the other tourists preparing to climb the mountain, trying to find out who the "Silver Fox" was.

The three detectives glanced at him, but did not investigate the suspicious matter in front of him.

"Speaking of left-handers..." Conan remembered the clues Toru Amuro had just provided, and suddenly had a suspect.

He looked at the male college student who came to talk to him seven or eight meters away, frowned and whispered: "That person is left-handed."

Jiang Xia looked over.

The male college student who was said to come hiking regularly every year seemed to feel that the weather was not right. At this time, he was standing next to the landline of the mountain management office, dialing the rest stop on the mountain to inquire about the situation.

When dialing, he held the receiver in his right hand and pressed the buttons with his left hand - indeed, as Conan said, he was left-handed.

but……

Jiang Xia glanced at Conan silently, feeling that Kudo-san's reasoning this time was mixed with personal information.

But thinking about the ghosts hanging on his body, many of which were encountered by Conan, Jiang Xia still nodded in support: "Pay more attention to him when you go up the mountain."

"Yeah." Conan's eyes stayed on the male college student and he had already begun to pay attention.

However, just after watching it for a short while, another person walked over next to him.
