Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 496: My old classmate is such a good person. Please vote for me (づど)

The enthusiastic male college student seemed to be very good at climbing and was always at the front.

When he came to the cliff section, he looked back at Jiang Xia and his group from a distance, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to slow down.

When the tourists behind him approached, he stood on the protruding stone, stretched out his hand towards Mao Lilan, and said enthusiastically like a coach:

"Pay attention to your strength when climbing. You are novices. You can pull these ropes up. Of course, you can also hold my hand..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand was raised and placed on his hand.

...Everything develops as the male college student wishes.

Only the person who made this action was slightly different from the picture he envisioned.

——The person who pulled him was not the cheerful and cute female high school student, but the person next to her who covered his face with a mask and hat, but his figure was definitely "male".

Male college student: "..."

Before the enthusiastic person could react, Jiang Xia took his arm and used some strength to gently climb up the rocks.

Under the stone, Conan pushed the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose happily, and put down the hand that kept poking Jiang Xia's calf. The lens clicked and flashed with a reflection.

Mao Lilan didn't notice Conan's little move.

She looked at the height of the stone, stepped on a narrow bump on the side with her toes, and jumped up easily, not much slower than going up ordinary steps.

The male college student looked at this scene with a slightly stiff smile.

This is not the same as the "bringing new people" script he imagined...

Toru Amuro didn't climb up immediately. He glanced down at Conan and observed this strange child.

Conan raised his head and stretched out his hand towards Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, I don't want a stranger to pull me. What if he is a bad guy and pretends to be slippery in the middle of the pull? It's like that on TV."

Toru Amuro: "..."

The client, Chao Wenzao, was startled, and also realized the danger of finding someone to pull him over. He looked at the male college student who seemed to have ulterior motives, snorted coldly, ignored him, grabbed the rope used for climbing next to him, and climbed upwards.

There was a soft bang, and the moment he exerted force, the thick hemp rope suddenly broke.

Chao Wenzao lost his balance and his foot slipped on the edge of a relatively smooth rock. He screamed and fell to the side of the cliff.

Jiang Xia lowered his eyes and saw it, quickly stepped forward and held the person down. Chao Wen created a dangerous situation and hung it on the edge of the cliff. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly climbed up the stone.

Toru Amuro was also startled by this unexpected turn of events.

He thought of the silver fox's "left-handedness" and then thought of the left-handed college student's suggestion of "holding the rope and climbing up", and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The male college student was startled by his scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis that the other party would immediately knock him down and twist him somewhere. He stammered in explanation: "I, I don't know what's going on. thing……"

Jiang Xia let go of Chao Wenzao, who had already stood firmly, jumped back under the stone, picked up the broken hemp rope, and took a look at it.

Then he patted Toru Amuro, handed over the rope, and whispered: "Maybe it was just an accident."

While the boss was concentrating on examining the hemp rope, Jiang Xia secretly retracted the hand that had just slapped him.

... There is a trace of coffee-flavored murderous aura in his hand.

I didn't expect that the thrilling scene just now could bring such a harvest. Does the boss have some prejudice against left-handers? In this way, it is true that Shuichi Akai and Gin are both left-handed... It may be that the key words "left-handed" + "killer" made Toru Amuro have some associations just now.

While Jiang Xia was thinking about how the murderous aura was dropped, he took advantage of the chaos to secretly put away the unusually rare coffee-flavored murderous aura.

And couldn't help but look at Toru Amuro again to see if there was anything he missed.

Matsuda Jinpei also stared at Tohru Amuro, his eyes shining slightly: I didn't expect that my old classmate would also drop high-end murderous aura... Although it still prefers the smell of wine, the coffee is also very good, and it is much better than that disinfectant. .

He would suddenly have murderous intent, maybe because his old classmate thought that the killer had taken action in front of him, so he had corresponding mood swings... Hiss, he still hates evil so much. Matsuda Jinpei was a little emotional.

While Matsuda Jinpei was secretly observing Toru Amuro, Jiang Xia was also secretly observing this new ghost with active thinking, but he hesitated to speak.

Finally swallowed the words silently.

Toru Amuro, this vest-like guy, is too complicated to explain. Let Matsuda Jinpei watch it slowly in the future...

…

Toru Amuro did not lose any more murderous aura.

——He checked the hemp rope used as a handrail, and soon found that the break of the rope was not smooth, and there was no smell of corrosive drugs. Coupled with the old state of the entire length of rope, this looks more like natural aging.

The client seems to be just unlucky... Is this lefty really not a killer?

The client, Chao Wenzao, didn't think so.

He calmed down, grabbed the male college student by the collar, and shouted angrily: "Sure enough, you are the Silver Fox!"

The male college student was startled and hurriedly denied it.

The sudden break of the rope, Toru Amuro's gloomy gaze later, and the client's roar after regaining consciousness, made other passengers vaguely aware that something was wrong.

The distance between the climbing team that was originally together gradually widened, and a group of people slowly dispersed.

Only the couple still followed Jiang Xia and the others and did not try to surpass them. The bags on the couple's bodies seemed to be particularly heavy. The woman among them was weak and walked very slowly.

…

When they were still some distance away from the resting point, the client could no longer walk, and a group of people stopped temporarily to rest.

The couple stopped not far away to get water from their bags.

When taking the water glass, they carefully blocked the bag and quickly closed it after taking it.

Mao Lilan caught a glimpse of these movements and asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "They don't seem to want us to see the bag. Is there any killer equipment hidden in it?"

A group of people were sitting just downwind of the couple.

As the bag opened and closed, the tip of Amuro Toru's nose suddenly moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "There is a strange smell."

Conan also frowned: "There is some rancid smell."

Jiang Xia: "?"

He followed it and smelled nothing.

So he let the ghost float over and peeked into the lovers' bags.

After confirming the guess, Jiang Xia echoed like a serious detective: "It's very much like bleeding for a period of time."

"Blood?!" Mao Lilan silently got goosebumps. She quickly looked back at her client, the recognized assassination target of Silver Fox.

Seeing that Chao Wenzao was sitting next to him drinking water and had not been assassinated, the horror subsided a little.

"...What exactly is in their bags?" Mao Lilan recalled the countless thriller novels she had read before and asked in a panic, "It can't be the heads of the mission targets."

"Probably not." Jiang Xia whispered back to her, "No one would carry a human head with them on a mission. And if it were a head, the smell would be stronger."
