Conan’s Corpse Picker

Masuo Eri has been frightened a lot these days. Moreover, the kidnappers obviously didn't bother to help the hostage with a reasonable diet. They adhered to the simple principle of "as long as he doesn't die" in terms of food, clothing and housing.

In this harsh environment, Masuo Eri was mentally exhausted and had been sleeping drowsily just now.

...until she was startled by waves of strange muffled sounds, she then managed to open her eyes relying on her remaining vigilance and instinctive fear of the sounds.

Then at a glance, I saw someone beating someone with a stick. I don't know if it was an illusion, but in a blur, Masao Eri actually saw "pleasure" and "relaxation" on the face of the attacker, terrible emotions that were incompatible with the current environment.

What's even more frightening is that after she stared blankly for a few times, as if he noticed the movement on her side, the guy who hit him suddenly looked away from the half-dead man in black, turned his head and looked at her.

Masuo Eri: "!!!"

Jiang Xia: "..."

He looked at the frightened hostages and then at the kidnappers who had lost their murderous intent. First, he picked up the murderous intent that was knocked out and put it away. Then he picked up the rope next to it, stepped on the man in black and tied it tightly, and tied it with a few knots.

Then he turned around and walked towards the woman in the corner.

As he got closer, the other party squirmed in panic, wishing he could retract himself into the corner.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person." Jiang Xia noticed that her attitude was wrong, paused slightly, and hid the stick behind her back.

Then he showed a heartwarming smile.

He said softly: "Mr. Yamabe left a code for the outside world. I felt that the location the code referred to might be near the track, so I wanted to go over and have a look. Unexpectedly, I was unfortunately knocked down by brutal robbers on the way, and I caught this . So after I woke up just now, I took advantage of the absence of the other men in black to defend myself... Sorry, did I scare you? "

As he spoke, he untied the rope and gauze from Masuo Eri's body.

Masao Eri had just woken up and was still a little confused.

Although she was still very frightened, she understood Jiang Xia's words about "come and save them".

Look at the man in black who fell to the ground like a rice dumpling, plus he recognized that Jiang Xia is indeed a detective, and after putting away the stick, Jiang Xia is indeed a good person no matter how you look at it... Masuo Eri's nose With a sore heart, the panic just now gradually turned into happiness after escaping danger. In addition, he was also a little moved by the young detective's risk to save people.

If it weren't for her and Koichi, the detective wouldn't have been hit by a robber in a deserted alley.

...Although Masuo Eri was still asleep, she vaguely heard the sound of beating people. But now, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that maybe Jiang Xia was fighting to the death with the gangsters, and Jiang Xia won in the end.

As for his expression when he hit someone, well, maybe it was an illusion caused by the angle... I have been in a bad state these past few days, and I get dazzled easily. Now Jiang Xia's gentle demeanor can be seen very clearly. What's more, there's a gunman across the street. What's wrong with the detective beating him a few times?

As a victim of the men in black, Masuo Erie thought about the encounters between herself and Yamabe Koichi in the past few days, and soon half sincerely and half hypnotically forgot about the movement she had just woken up.

She rubbed her sore arms and legs, glanced at the door that was closed by Jiang Xia, and asked softly: "What should I do next? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Jiang Xia recalled the layout of the corridor outside and pointed out the direction to her: "You leave from the east stairs. There should be no robbers there." Because there is no murderous intent there...

"What about you?" Masao Eri has many things to worry about, "Koichi is still in their hands..."

"Don't worry and go, don't worry about us." Jiang Xia had a solemn expression of "I'll come to the rear", patted her shoulder, helped her up, and pushed her to the door, "You are not here, Mr. Yamabe dares to resist. I will Help him create opportunities..." As he spoke, he noticed that Masuo Eri was getting more and more worried, and Jiang Xia vaguely realized that it didn't sound safe to say so.

So he changed his words very naturally: "Of course, considering that it is more dangerous. Rather than clashing with the gangsters, I will hide nearby and keep an eye on the movements of the people in black - in case the robbers notice that you are missing, They may move with Mr. Yamabe, and I will stay here until I know which way they went.

"In the meantime, you should find the police as soon as possible and call the police - my mobile phone is broken and cannot be used. The mobile phone of the man in black in the room is also a bit fragile. I took a look just now and it is broken... Your mobile phone is also broken. They’ve all been taken away.”

Seeing Masuo Eri nodded, Jiang Xia continued: "I didn't see the road clearly when I came here. I don't know if there is a police station around here. If the police station is too far, I have to ask passers-by to borrow their mobile phones for help - You must remember to go further away before asking someone to borrow it. If there are their accomplices in plain clothes nearby and you bump into their hands, things will be in trouble."

"Yeah!" Masuo Eri nodded solemnly after hearing this plan.

She also knew that she couldn't help by staying. Thinking that Jiang Xia's words made sense, she didn't delay any longer. She followed the direction Jiang Xia pointed out, opened the door gently, and left quietly.

Before going downstairs, she took one last look over. The young detective stood in the shadow by the door and nodded slightly towards her. There seemed to be a little determination and sadness in his eyebrows. He looked like a hero who took the initiative to stay in the enemy's lair.

Masuo Eri wiped away the emotional tears from the corners of her eyes and hurried downstairs without staying any longer, preparing to rush to a nearby crowded place as fast as possible and borrow a phone to call the police as soon as possible.

…

When she went downstairs, a cat on dark clouds and snow silently jumped out and followed her.

The one wearing the cat vest this time is Ganfanmao Benmao.

Although his thinking ability is not comparable to that of humans, the cat still firmly remembers what Jiang Xia just took the time to tell him - if Masao Eri really meets the robbers' accomplices, then the cat will be responsible for transforming where no one can see it. Like a leopard, he suppressed the murderous aura while others were unprepared, and waited for Jiang Xia to come and knock him out.

…

After one person and one cat left.

Jiang Xia stood up and looked to the other side expectantly, feeling the aroma of chicken rolls that was still clear across several walls.

But, before that...

There is another hostage next door.

Jiang Xia has never had any contact with Yamabe Koichi and is not sure about the policeman's habits. If it's another loudmouth who loves publicity, then it's best not to be seen by him when he's knocking out the murderous energy... In short, this possible witness must be sent away first.

...Fortunately, Masao Eri is here, so this is not a problem.

…

The windows of the room where Yamabe Koichi was imprisoned were tightly sealed, and the room was a bit cold.
