Conan’s Corpse Picker

When the detectives rushed out the door chasing the client, Mao Lilan subconsciously followed a few steps.

As she ran to the door, she suddenly remembered that if she left too, only Tokura Etsuko and the unconscious male college student would be left in the rest stop, and she immediately hesitated - what if the gangsters circled back to the rest stop after they left? , attacking these two helpless people in the house, then when they come back, there may be two more corpses in the house.

It's better to stay by yourself...

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan stopped.

She turned around and saw Etsuko Tokura, who was disturbed by the commotion just now, stopped packing her luggage and walked next to her.

Etsuko Tokura followed Mao Lilan and looked outside the door, her eyes full of doubts. She guessed and said: "You guys went up the mountain not to have fun, right? Did you receive some commission? Is it related to the 'Silver Fox'?"

Mao Lilan nodded.

By now, Jiang Xia's identity as a detective has long been exposed, and Yinhu's identity has been roughly confirmed. If the secret is continued, Etsuko Tokura may be missing information at critical moments and make wrong decisions - for example, when something happens, she goes to the administrator's "staff" for help, which may lead to danger.

Mao Lilan then briefly told her the situation.

As he spoke, the window behind him made a soft "click" sound.

The two of them were startled at the same time, looked at each other slightly in panic, and turned back in confusion.

Behind him, the room was empty, the windows were still closed, and no one was there.

"...Maybe it was blown by the wind." Etsuko Tokura breathed a brief sigh of relief.

Mao Lilan vaguely felt that something was not right.

She looked at it intently for a while and suddenly remembered something:

"...The pink backpack next to the window is missing, the one with 50 million in cash!"

Could it be that the robbers are back to collect their stolen goods? !

Remembering that it was a villain who had just killed someone, Mao Lilan walked to the window vigilantly and glanced out through the glass covered with thick dust.

There was no one outside, just a forest after the rain, and fresh air filtered into the room through the cracks in the wooden house.

"..."

Mao Lilan looked at it suspiciously for a while, but found nothing wrong, so he temporarily withdrew his gaze.

She locked the window, ran to lock the door, and waited for the detectives to return.

…

A few meters away, in the woods.

A man in a black casual suit and light-colored sunglasses on his nose leaned against a tree, holding a heavy backpack that smelled of blood, and stood quietly.

After finding that no one was chasing him out, Matsuda Jinpei relaxed a little and looked down at the bag in his hand.

This is the bag left by the couple who robbed the leader of the violent gang. Jiang Xia asked him to find an opportunity to take it away.

Just now, after Matsuda Jinpei found an opportunity, he took away the bag with the intention of confiscating the stolen goods. But in the end, I am still not used to this kind of behavior. I always feel that I am doing something bad and breaking the law.

But Jiang Xia said that the money had a legitimate purpose - to give it to the alcoholic high-end murderous aura producer, and then use it to increase the chance of meeting, gather more murderous auras, and get a list of people who produce murderous aura shikigami... …

A few days ago, Matsuda Jinpei believed Jiang Xia's words and thought that the wine-smelling murderous spirit was really going to be out of print.

Who would have thought that now, there would be another source right away...

He leaned against the tree trunk, hugging the stolen goods, and sighed. The ghost's instinct and the human conscience were fighting fiercely.

A few seconds later, Matsuda Jinpei took his bag and left quickly.

It's better not to think so complicatedly and just follow the orders of the psychic. After all, he is just a ghost...

He found a hiding place and temporarily hid the bag.

After that, there’s something else to do.

A while ago, after Jiang Xia drained Koizumi Hongzi's magic power, the ghost fetuses were greatly strengthened. In the past, when constructing puppets, the ghosts only maintained the puppet's human form and had already tried their best, unable to control the puppet to perform certain actions.

But after strengthening, they can briefly control the puppet's actions within a few minutes.

Later, with the unknown and strange teardrop, the time for controlling the puppet was actually extended to nearly an hour.

Although it seems that there is plenty of time. But finding people in the mountains is not an easy task.

And the more time you stay outside, the more murderous energy you consume. You have to complete the tasks given by Jiang Xia within this period of time and try to save rations...

Matsuda Jinpei has been overwhelmed by a group of murderous ghosts in the past few days, and his thoughts have been assimilated by his ghost colleagues unconsciously.

He hurried to where he needed to go next.

…

the other side.

After the client, Chao Wenzao, used the elimination method to lock the identity of Silver Fox, he rushed towards the nearest road down the mountain.

——This is actually not the first time for him to come to this mountain. He has been here secretly several times before and is quite familiar with the terrain here.

That's why he specifically used Danyuan Mountain as a climbing location so that he could have more autonomy after luring the "Silver Fox" out.

The purpose of Chao Wenzao trying every possible means to lure out the "Silver Fox" is not to revoke the commission and ask the Silver Fox not to kill him.

Instead, he planned to kill Silver Fox.

——Six months ago, Silver Fox was hired to assassinate the president of a loan shark company. While driving, the president was hit in the chest by Silver Fox with a flying knife. Immediately afterwards, the president's car hit a kindergarten school bus head-on. In addition to completely killing the president, the car accident also killed a little girl. Unfortunately lost his life.

The dead child happened to be Chao Wenzao's daughter.

After the child's death, Chao Wenzao frantically searched for traces of Silver Fox, but was unable to catch the elusive killer.

Later, he had an idea and decided to use himself as bait to lure out the silver fox and kill it.

He specifically went to Jiang Xia to give a commission, hoping that the detective could identify the "Silver Fox" as soon as possible so that he could take action easily. In addition, if he fails to kill the silver fox, he can at least use the detective to set up double insurance. If he fails, the detective can throw the silver fox into prison and make the murderer pay the price.

The day before yesterday, the body-stroke sniper attack in Amuro Detective Agency was also arranged by Shio Wenzo.

He was worried that the detective would think that "inviting a killer to kill him" was too bizarre and that he was making up a story and would not accept his commission, so he invited a friend to come over and shoot a few random shots.

In this way, the righteous detective discovered that his life was really threatened, so he should accept the commission and come with him.

…

In times of emergency, people's imagination becomes rich.

At this time, on the mountain, Chao Wenzao ran wildly, trying his best to guess where the silver fox might be.

——The task of "assassinating Chao Wenzao" that Silver Fox accepted has not yet been completed.

When they separated just now, the identity of the "administrator" that Silver Fox was pretending to be had not yet been exposed.

Moreover, two murderers suddenly appeared on the mountain. It was very chaotic at this time. Silver Fox had no reason to give up this good situation, abandon the still alive assassination target, and go down the mountain alone.
