Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 686 Where is my army of sixty? Please vote for me ()

Jiang Xia possessed his consciousness into the puppet and moved his hands and feet slightly.

In addition to shikigami, the materials for constructing puppets also include ghost fetuses.

And ghosts are inherently capable of night vision, so of course puppets can also see in the dark.

In Jiang Xia's eyes, the dark woods where one can't even see his fingers are clearer than when the sun is at its strongest during the day.

He looked at the vast forest, thought for a moment, and then walked towards a mountain path trodden by tourists.

What Toru Amuro said during the "small talk" just now was not only heard by Watanuki Chenzo's younger brother, but of course Jiang Xia also heard it.

And Jiang Xia felt that as long as Watanuki Tatsuzo had a little bit of analytical ability, he could use the information provided by Amuro Toru to focus on certain points that were ten minutes away from the top of the mountain and the intersection of commonly used paths. There will be a gathering place for the younger brothers.

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Xia was slightly surprised to find that she had indeed found the target of entertainment when she was bored.

——He went straight to the little brother who sometimes looked up at the treetops, sometimes looked down at the roots, and seemed to be helping Watanuki Chenzo find a red handkerchief.

…

Yamada Takeru, as a person who has been following Watanuki Tatsuzo ten years ago, has always been worried about his superiors and takes Watanuki Tatsuzo's orders as his own responsibility. He is a qualified and loyal old subordinate.

Not long ago, he received a call from Watanuki Tatsuzo.

"I just got news from Konno - when a detective went up the mountain, he noticed a faded red handkerchief on a nearby tree." Watanuki Tatsuzo said:

"In other words, the target maple tree should be in a strip area nearly ten minutes away from the top of the mountain. You notify others of the news and prioritize the search from the paths most commonly passed by tourists."

The strip area surrounding the mountaintop shooting location, plus the roads that tourists pass most often when going up the mountain, interweave this information into several points, outlining the most likely location of the target, greatly reducing their workload. .

Yamada Ken, who was running all over the mountain, realized this and breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he was a little alert: "Brother, detectives are very cunning. The news coming from them..."

"Don't worry." Watanuki Tatsumi was comfortably soaking in the bathtub, with the winning ticket in hand:

"There are more than sixty of us. If the detective found any clues on the mountain and said that to lure us there and confirm our purpose, then the worst we can do is dig a few more corpse pits - Detective They are often very arrogant and do not like to share information with the police before they only find anomalies but do not obtain conclusive evidence. It is not difficult to deal with them alone. "

The current Watanuki Tatsuzo is no longer the same person he was five years ago who had no place to hide even if he wanted to dispose of a corpse. Today, he is already the well-known secretary-general of the Ni Shen Association, with a large number of subordinates under his command.

Moreover, killing a detective who is naturally against them is completely different from the difficulty of assassinating a cadre in the organization. The former is not afraid of his subordinates knowing about it. In short, if assassinating Omori Yuichi five years ago was a hell of a challenge, now, dealing with an officious detective is as difficult as eating a plate of dessert.

"Okay." Yamada Ken was convinced.

He hung up the phone, sent a message to others, and followed Watanuki Tatsuzo's instructions to the possible "spots" to prepare to search for the body.

Not long after I arrived, I was looking for it intently.

Suddenly, I heard a faint voice coming from behind: "What are you looking for? A corpse buried a few years ago?"

The dark woods, the cold mountain wind, and the ground where bones may be buried. Suddenly a ghost-like voice sounded from behind.

Fear pinched Yamada Ken's heart like a giant hand. He suddenly reached for the folding knife hidden in his pocket, and at the same time turned his head quickly, with the thoughts of "self-defense" and "silence" arising in his mind at the same time.

But before he could see the person behind him clearly, and before those thoughts could be transformed into the actions he should take, he was hit hard on the crook of his leg and fell to his knees. Then he was hit on the back and jumped into a ball. The dust is choking in the dead leaves.

Before he got up, a force came from his back and firmly stepped on him. I don't know why, but the sneak attacker seemed to be very skilled in this process of putting people down. Yamada Ken thought he was well-trained, but in the previous raid, he had no time to react at all.

…

Jiang Xia drove Matsuda Jinpei's puppet and lowered his head to look at the people at his feet.

I've seen a lot of high-end murderous auras recently, but when I suddenly see ordinary murderous auras, it always feels like a bowl of rice followed by delicacies. The attraction isn't as strong as before.

However, it is definitely better to pack up something that can be used than to stay in the restaurant and wait dryly for the uncle to go out.

Moreover, there are so many people in the mountain, and the total number is definitely considerable. They are enough to make the psychic feel relaxed and happy. This beautiful night is still long.

Jiang Xia thought as she held a branch next to her that was two fingers thick, intending to lift it up and use it as a weapon.

But before that, he thought of something and stopped again.

"..." Uzo, the reserved substitute, can't be too similar to the real person. Especially when the main body happens to be nearby. It would be better if there is a little difference between the two...

Thinking this, Jiang Xia looked around. His eyes swept over the sharp rocks, dirty soil, and a few clusters of mushrooms after the rain under the trees... Finally, he stopped at Yamada's waist.

He squatted down, pulled out the belt that was the source of the frightening and murderous aura, and swung it a few times in his hand.

"..." Seems pretty good?

At least it sounds like the frightening sound is no worse than a swing with a stick, and it should be painful enough to hit someone.

…

At night, there was a commotion at the Red Tree Hotel at the foot of the mountain.

Some campers couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and went out late at night, hoping to appreciate the beauty of different locations. As a result, there was no hazy moonlight in Maple Leaf Mountain at night, let alone the beauty under the moon. Instead, it was so eerie that nothing could be seen clearly. In the end, the artistic camper stepped on the dead body, tripped and gave the body a heartfelt hug.

After turning on the flashlight and seeing clearly the dead man beneath him and the blood covering his body, the camper grabbed his companions and ran down the mountain, crawling on the ground and howling. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he came to his senses and called out slowly. police.

…

at the same time.

Toru Amuro was spending time in the hall with Jiang Xia, waiting to observe Watanuki Tatsuzo's reaction, and try his best to organize the final stage of the task - if Watanuki Tatsuzo rested, they would also go back to the house to rest; Watanuki Tatsumi Let's go, they will immediately come out for activities, that will be too obvious. After all, the two of them are still detectives on the surface, and there are many people nearby. In addition to the peripheral members of the group of organizations in Gunma County, there are also many people around Tatsuzo Watanagi. Before Watanuki Tatsuzo shows enough abnormality, they have to become more normal.
