Conan’s Corpse Picker

In newspapers, although photos of detectives are also published, the quality is often worrying due to limitations in color and fineness.

In short, the hotel owner probably couldn't remember what Jiang Xia looked like at all.

Therefore, after learning that the hotel owner planned to find a detective to help investigate the matter of the man in red.

Shenbao Daxiong quickly hired a person who was similar in age to Jiang Xia and looked somewhat similar. He asked the person to put on a suitable disguise, come before Jiang Xia, pretend to be Jiang Xia, and then deceive the suitcase away from the hotel owner.

Originally, Shenbao Daxiong thought that the most difficult part of the plan was to prevent the hotel owner from recognizing Jiang Xia as a fake.

However, in fact, the plan died before that...

"..." So why did Jiang Xia suddenly appear here? ?

I heard that this detective solved the case quickly. Could it be that Jiang Xia thought of something after seeing the report about the man in red, so he came here to investigate...

Thinking of this, Shenbao Daxiong felt threatened, and habitually had a murderous intention.

However, on second thought, regardless of how much Jiang Xia knew about the robbery and silence, the top priority now was to get the 100 million yen first.

Divine Treasure Nobita touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and gradually fell on the registration book.

Then his eyes lit up slightly.

——At this time, it happens to be dinner time. When he was waiting at the door just now, he noticed that Jiang Xia didn't come by car, but walked all the way. He must be hungry now.

So, think on the bright side. What if Jiang Xia left the box in the room now and went to eat?

In this way, couldn't he just break through the empty door and steal the box?

"..." Heartbeat.

If you don't try, it's useless.

…

Considering that there are some semi-open partitions and private rooms in the restaurant, you may not be able to observe Jiang Xia's movements when you go to the restaurant. On the contrary, if an employee who is not responsible for catering suddenly goes to the restaurant, it will easily make people suspicious.

Therefore, Shenbao Daxiong gave up his plan to go to the restaurant to observe Jiang Xia's movements and went directly to the restaurant.

He carried the cleaning utensils and walked to the floor where Jiang Xia was, pretending to clean.

When passing by Room 207 where Jiang Xia was, Shenbao Daxiong looked around and found that there was no one around.

So he carefully approached the room and listened to what was going on inside.

Then I was very disappointed to find that there were footsteps in the house.

And it sounds like there's more than one person. It might be Jiang Xia's companion and the hotel owner among them.

"..." Forget it, come back tonight.

Fortunately, according to the weather forecast, there will be a storm nearby. At this time, the signal in the hotel, which is already bad, is often completely cut off.

Even if Jiang Xia and the others opened the suitcase, they found that it really contained 100 million yen. The police won't be able to get through for a while, and even the 100 million yen won't be able to escape. I still have a chance to get the money.

Divine Treasure Nobita secretly hatched a plan, regretfully left the corridor and returned to his job.

…

Two minutes later.

In the corridor on the second floor.

Jiang Xia's room door opened silently from the inside.

Several people in suits pushed the door open a crack and carefully observed it. Then he opened the door in a natural manner, pretending to be a tenant living here, and quickly left the room.

…

At the same time, it started to rain on the mountain road.

A young man wearing a mask and dressed in black held an umbrella and pressed the brim of a baseball cap on his head. The brim of the hat, which was already very low, was pushed even lower by him. Together with the mask, it almost covered his entire face.

The young man came to the Aoi House Hotel and looked up at the sign.

Then he put away his umbrella, walked the rest of the way in a few steps, and entered under the wide eaves of the hotel.

…

As soon as Shenbao Nobita returned to his welcome post, he saw another guest coming to the door.

He instinctively smiled and greeted him.

However, at this moment, the young man suddenly reached out his hand rudely and grabbed his collar.

As soon as the young man in black opened his mouth, his noisy voice ruined most of his mysterious and low-key style.

He asked impatiently: "What do you mean by 'Jiang Xia is here'? Didn't you mean that the hotel owner never contacted him?!"

Shenbao Daxiong was startled and looked carefully at the young man in front of him, focusing on the little gap exposed between his mask and the brim of his hat.

I could vaguely see a hint of Jiang Xia, and I immediately confirmed the identity of the person in front of me.

——Previously, in order to get the box without injury, the magic treasure Nobita hired the man named Sendaf in front of him, intending to let Sendaf impersonate Jiang Xia and trick the box away.

However, now, with the sudden appearance of Jiang Xia, this brilliant plan can only be scrapped on the spot.

Divine Treasure Nobita thought of the plan that had ended before it even started, and he felt aggrieved, and he even had a bad look on the impostor in front of him.

He changed his attitude of welcoming guests warmly and snorted coldly. He grabbed his hand angrily and pushed him away: "Who knows why Jiang Xia is here... I told you not to come! Find a place to hide yourself, don't Make trouble for me!"

Saying that, the divine treasure Nobita threw a few big bills to the young man in black as payment and hush money, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

——As far as he knew, Sendav was pretending to be a handsome and rich young man, and he was dating a girlfriend from a wealthy family, and he was about to get engaged.

The two sides hold each other's secrets, and it happens that the two sides are in harmony with each other. Now that Sendav has done nothing and he has paid him, he should not bother him anymore.

It was almost time to change shifts.

Seeing Sendaf holding the few banknotes, he seemed to be stunned, and the sacred treasure Nobita did not stay any longer. He secretly pushed the impostor toward the door, signaling him not to stand with him.

Then he returned to the hall and changed shifts with another companion who knew nothing about it.

…

Sendav stood in the shadows outside the house, his gloomy gaze passed through the door and fell on the back of the divine treasure Nobita.

Then he hung down again and counted the bills in his hand several times.

I came all the way here, and when I arrived, I was suddenly told, "You're useless." It felt very bad.

Fortunately, the reward offered by Shenbao Daxiong is indeed generous enough - just by running to the mountains, you can get so much money. This is a good part-time job that you can't even squeeze your head to get.

...But on the other hand, Sendaf secretly thought that Shenbao Daxiong, a hotel clerk, was actually willing to hand over such a generous reward for that box.

Thinking of this, his eyes changed several times, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

——Before, Divine Treasure Nobita only asked him to pretend to be Jiang Xia and defraud him of a box. Didn't say what was in the box.

Now it seems that it must be some very valuable treasure, and its value cannot be compared with a few big bills.

"..." Sendaf thought about it over and over again, feeling that it was already here, and it was already late at night, and he wouldn't be able to go back for a while.

Now that the box is in Jiang Xia's hands, it's better to leave it here, then go to Jiang Xia's room in the middle of the night and steal the box.
