Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 76 What did you do at night? Ask for a monthly ticket≧≦

The next day, Toru Amuro woke up very early.

The bedding was a bit hard, and I was not used to sleeping.

More importantly, yesterday's weird incident still had an impact on him.

—he dreamed of a giant rat hiding in his car and eating his tires. In the dream, Toru Amuro was surprised, and captured this weird mutant mouse and sent it to the national research institute, but the research institute discovered a new type of zombie virus in the mouse... Then Toru Amuro beat zombies all night in his dream , and finally woke up suddenly when surrounded by a large number of zombies.

...

At this time, it was just dawn.

Although it was already the time for the monks to wake up, it was still very early for the guests.

Toru Amuro tried to sleep back into the cage, but failed - as soon as he closed his eyes, the bloody mouths of mutated mice and mutated zombies swayed back and forth in front of his eyes, making him sleepless.

In the end, Toru Amuro had no choice but to sit up again with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

He glanced enviously at Jiang Xia, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and stood up, intending to see if the car he called had arrived.

Unexpectedly, when passing by the dining room, I suddenly heard a vague scream.

...

Amuro Toru was taken aback, and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

On the way, he met two other young monks.

The three came to the door of the confinement room.

Seeing that the senior brother's legs and feet were weak, he fell and sat by the door.

Seeing other people approaching, the elder brother trembled and pointed upwards: "I, I saw that the door of the confinement room was open, so I went in to have a look, and it turned out..."

Amuro walked in the door, looked up, his eyes fixed.

——Above the confinement room, a roof nearly ten meters high. The old abbot was hung from the beams of the house.

His death-defying head drooped weakly, facing the door, and was gently shaken by the wind, like a piece of dried bacon.

...

five minutes later.

Amuro finished calling the police and waited for the police to arrive.

He was worried that the monks in the monastery would stop him from calling the police, or secretly cut the phone line.

However, neither happened.

This reassured Toru Amuro a little - since he was able to contact the outside world smoothly, it meant that this time, it shouldn't be a serial murder case.

——could have been the old monk's suicide, or it could have been just plain murder.

And if it's the latter...

Amuro thought, that means: among the four seemingly simple and honest young monks in the temple, there is a murderer hiding.

...

Therefore, before asking about the situation, Toru Amuro went to the guest room first, planning to wake Jiang Xia up. In case I worked so hard to find out the truth, but the murderer turned around and took his teammates as hostages...

It's really not that Toru Amuro thinks too much - he has experienced this kind of thing too many times, whether he is partnering with the police or with members of the organization.

The difference is that he tried his best to save his colleagues from the police, while his accomplices...

"..." Well, this is probably one of the reasons why few people in the organization are willing to partner with him.

"Jiang Xia." Amuro Toru pushed open the door of the guest room, "Wake up, someone is dead."

After shouting, he planned to go back and reason.

However, after walking two steps, she didn't hear Jiang Xia getting up.

"...?"

Toru Amuro retreated to the door of the guest room.

Seeing that Jiang Xia in the quilt was motionless, she didn't intend to get up at all.

Amuro was taken aback.

Although it's still early, it's already dawn. When most people are in such a light sleep, when they hear someone calling their name, coupled with keywords such as "dead"...would they sleep so deeply?

What's more, Jiang Xia is not an ordinary person. His alertness should be much higher than normal people.

After a moment of silence, Toru Amuro suddenly had a bad guess.

Could it be, not "sleeping as if dead", but really dead...

Someone could kill someone next to him in the middle of the night without alarming him! ?

Toru Amuro thought of the inexplicably broken tire yesterday, and his heart sank.

He ran a few steps to the side of the bedding, shouted "Jiang Xia!", and pushed the person aside.

I thought I would see a stubble on Jiang Xia's neck that was exactly the same as the tire...but it didn't.

Touch it again and find that the person is warm and has a pulse.

"..." Anshi Toru's eyes twitched twice, a faint vein appeared on his forehead, he grabbed the person and shook him, "Wake up."

After shaking for several seconds, Jiang Xia finally opened his eyes.

An Shitou looked at him, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind - Jiang Xia looked so tired, maybe it was because he did something bad secretly last night, such as hanging the old monk up...

But soon, Toru Amuro vetoed this conjecture.

He is very confident in his level of vigilance. Jiang Xia did go out last night, but he came back not long after. That time is definitely not enough for him to kill and hang people. He has been in the room since then.

——In short, Jiang Xia has no time to commit the crime, let alone a motive.

After reaching this conclusion, Toru Amuro sighed: Why am I always suspicious today...

He let go of his hand, stood up, and said to Jiang Xia: "Go to the hall first, there was a murder case in the temple."
