Conan’s Corpse Picker

Sendav had done a lot of petty theft in the past.

He walked around the hotel and quickly slipped into this hotel with lax management and relaxed atmosphere.

And while the front desk went to the bathroom, he peeked into the room where Jiang Xia was.

…

Room 207.

Jiang Xia finished dinner and returned to the room.

Then I found that the mermaid who was left to look after the house was crossing her arms at this time, fluttering here and there unhappily, muttering in her mouth, as if she was not satisfied with any part of this room and did not want to end up in it. Anywhere.

The whispers of ghosts are inaudible to ordinary people, and difficult to understand even if they hear them.

But there was a contract between Jiang Xia and the ghosts, and he quickly understood the mermaid's complaints.

——When he left to finish his meal just now, a few big men in suits pried open the door and sneaked in.

"..." The big man in a suit... probably refers to the police officers who followed him and Toru Amuro.

Because Toru Amuro had stolen Jiang Xia's ghost mint before, the mermaid remembered this boss deeply, and also disliked the island country's police who were good at sliding doors and picking locks.

…

Jiang Xia didn't have much thoughts about the police sneaking into her room, and she wasn't surprised.

He was just a little amused to find that currently, in this observation operation "targeting Jiangxia", although the commander Toru Amuro had begun to fish in secrets, the public security subordinates failed to discover the lazy behavior of their superiors. Still conscientiously monitoring and observing the target according to the original standards very closely.

... These surveillance operations naturally include secretly installing cameras in Jiang Xia's room after booking the room and while Jiang Xia is leaving. This was to prevent Jiang Xia from sneaking out in the middle of the night, or using the phone in the room to communicate with "Wu Zuo's associates" who did not exist.

It's probably the same this time.

…Unscrupulous police officers invade the privacy of innocent citizens at will.

Jiang Xia secretly condemned in her heart.

Then I thought about the shikigami I picked up along the way, as well as the various flavors of murderous aura, and my mind calmed down again.

...You can watch it if you want. Anyway, there is nothing shameful about him. After all, the camera cannot reflect the ghosts.

At most, I can't just mess around, and since I don't have a mobile phone to play with, I have nowhere to put my hands.

While Jiang Xia was thinking about it, when he passed by a cluster of fabrics on the table filled with stars, he rubbed it twice like stroking a cat's head.

When he retracted his hand, he suddenly heard a soft snap on the table.

He was startled and looked down.

As the craft flowers swayed, a pinhole camera hidden among the flowers fell down.

The black body covered with a green film fell on the off-white table, extremely conspicuous.

Jiang Xia lowered his eyes and looked right into the dark lens.

"..."

...I pretended that I didn't find anything and quickly put it back in its place. Is it still too late?

Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

Then I felt it wasn’t working.

The lives of Toru Amuro's subordinates must have been quite boring these days. Behind this camera, there might be a few pairs of bored eyes staring closely at the surveillance screen. They might have seen the scene just now.

And in this case, if you firmly pretend that it is just a decoration and put it back as if nothing happened... pretending to be stupid will look too weird.

Just have a normal reaction.

Speaking of which, I suddenly discovered that there was a camera in the room where I was staying. What should I do?

A normal person might angrily question the hotel, or call the police to inquire about the situation.

However, as a member of a shady organization who is performing a mysterious mission, the steps are of course different from ordinary people and more complicated in comparison.

Of course, for Jiang Xia, it's not that complicated.

——After all, he is just an innocent errand boy. The main person in charge of this mission should be Bourbon in the other room.

Thinking this, Jiang Xia stared at the camera, frowned, and her expression became solemn.

Quickly, he grabbed the napkin next to him, pressed the camera with a snap, then rolled it up and wrapped it tightly, put it on and quickly left the room. He turned off the lights as he left the room, blocking other cameras from filming.

Then he went straight to Tohru Amuro.

When I got to the place, I knocked on the door.

Boss, get up and work.

…

inside the house.

Toru Amuro finished cleaning up early and lay down - his experiences in the past few days made him deeply aware of the importance of maintaining his condition. Sleep is very important for human beings, not to mention if you don't sleep well today, who knows if you will have time to sleep when you do the next task.

However, as soon as his head hit the pillow, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Toru Amuro: "..."

...There won’t be another murder.

He hesitated for a moment between "pretending to be asleep" and "going and taking a look", but in the end his sense of responsibility prevailed.

…

Toru Amuro got up and walked to the door, looking out through the peephole.

He saw Jiang Xia standing outside. His face was solemn, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

"..." It was Jiang Xia who knocked on the door?

...It seems that this is not a murder case. Otherwise, Jiang Xia should be busy solving the case and would not think of looking for him.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro opened the door much more neatly.

…

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Xia first looked left and right in the corridor.

As if he was sure that no one was following him, he quickly entered the door cautiously.

Then he put something tightly wrapped in a napkin into Toru Amuro's hand.

"There's something wrong with this store." Jiang Xia whispered, pointing to the napkin in his hand.

Toru Amuro carefully untied it.

Then he saw Bree revealing a pinhole camera with a very familiar model.

"..."

Although Toru Amuro himself has relaxed his standards for surveillance, he has not yet spoken directly to his subordinates about this behavior that sounds somewhat lazy.

...Now it seems that the subordinates did not understand what he meant, and still monitored Jiang Xia according to the previous standards... Even if they did not monitor, they immediately showed their flaws. Even installing a camera couldn't last one night, and Jiang Xia turned it out so quickly.

Fortunately, Feng Jian didn't let them pretend to be strangers and come to pick up himself and Jiang Xia who had a flat tire. Otherwise, the identity of "Bourbon"'s undercover agent may no longer be concealed...

…

When Toru Amuro stared at the camera and fell into silence.

Jiang Xia and the ghosts on him were also secretly looking at Toru Amuro expectantly.

Then I was disappointed to find that the boss condemned him, but did not show the murderous intention towards his subordinates when he was angry.

...Jiang Xia sighed secretly in her heart. Sometimes it's not a good thing if your boss is too law-abiding. If Gin's subordinates had done something like this, Gin would have definitely been simmering with murderous intent, and even his subordinates might have had some vanilla ice cream because they were facing life-threatening danger and out of self-protection. Delicious and murderous.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xia moved her fingers slightly, wanting to take out the ghost mint.
