Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 91 How to Pretend You Have a Hostage Please vote for me ()

When they got outside, the fake old lady looked at her watch and sat back in her wheelchair.

She went out to inquire about the situation and was relieved to learn that Jiang Xia was still missing.

——Since Jiang Xia has not brought out the news that "the real Mrs. Tai is dead" from the secret channel. Then for her, everything is still saved.

However, judging from the position where Jiang Xia entered the secret passage and the location of Mrs. He Tai's body. Xi Chuan Suimei thought that Jiang Xia must have discovered the body. Maybe the cunning young detective wanted to hide in the tunnel, wait for the phone to be repaired, and then come out and call the police.

Nishikawa Suimi: "..." You can't always follow the opponent's rhythm.

We must quickly think of a way to find Jiang Xia and silence him.

…

At this time, several other guests happened to pass by from the other end of the corridor.

Xi Chuan Suimei looked at them, and suddenly an idea flashed:

It's better to kidnap a hostage yourself, take the hostage into the secret passage, and force Jiang Xia out - the high school detective must be very upright. If his partner's life is threatened, he will not leave it alone.

After Nishikawa Suimi had an idea, she chose among the remaining four guests and set her target on Conan without much hesitation.

——Children are relatively simple and easy to deceive. Once they are deceived, they are also easy to handle. And if it were the other three people, dragging them around to find Jiang Xia in the secret passage would be too exhausting.

We have to find an opportunity to lure that child out alone...

With this in mind, Xi Chuan Suimei put on some clothes and re-entered the secret passage.

…

A group of people searched all over the castle, but found no trace of Jiang Xia at all.

Conan was thinking about the "treasure" puzzle in the courtyard, and he had to distract himself from thinking about where Jiang Xia was. He was a little overloaded.

He paced around the hallway, trying to cool himself down.

Halfway through the walk, Conan's ears twitched and he suddenly heard a noise.

He followed the sound direction and turned the corner of the corridor.

I saw an extra black coat on the ground there.

Conan's pupils shrank... He was not thinking of the members of the black organization, but of Jiang Xia.

——Jiang Xia often wears black from head to toe, and even likes to choose black for trivial items such as scarves, masks, and stationery boxes.

When Jiang Xia disappeared, a coat of the same color suddenly dropped nearby... Could this be Jiang Xia's clothes?

Conan was confused for a moment, then walked over quickly, picked up his coat and checked it.

…

Behind Conan, in the secret passage in the wall.

A pair of eyes watched this scene quietly.

Nishikawa Suimi stood at the door of the secret passage. When she saw the child approaching, she sneered and took out her wooden stick, preparing to knock Conan unconscious and drag him into the secret passage.

However, just at the moment she was about to push open the secret door.

Another set of footsteps suddenly approached.

Toru Amuro came closer and looked at the thing in Conan's hand: "Is this...?"

"A piece of clothing." Conan shook off the clothes and looked at them, frowning slightly, "I originally thought it was Brother Jiang Xia's coat, but now it seems that it's just the same color."

So...why did a piece of clothing fall out here?

Toru Amuro obviously also thought about this problem.

He raised his head thoughtfully and surveyed the surrounding scenery.

…

Behind the wall, Nishikawa Suimei gradually broke out in a cold sweat.

——On weekdays, she often wanders around in secret passages, looking for treasures. Therefore, each secret passageway will leave some traces of being opened.

And Nishikawa Susumi remembered that Toru Amuro, who was separated by a wall, seemed to be a detective as well. If he looked carefully and found the entrance to the secret passage...

Xichuan Suimei: "..." No, the body of the wife in the secret passage must not be discovered by more people!

Instead of waiting for Toru Amuro to find the secret passage, it is better to take a preemptive strike... Nishikawa Suimi's mind was filled with evil thoughts of "killing her mouth".

I saw Toru Amuro checking the opposite wall with his back to this side.

Xi Chuan Suimei gritted her teeth, pushed open the secret door, and hit him hard on the back of the head with a stick.

Conan was startled and was about to shout "Be careful!".

But Toru Amuro seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly raised his hand backwards, accurately catching the fake old lady's wrist holding the wooden stick.

He originally wanted to elbow him, but when he saw the attacker clearly, Toru Amuro stopped.

——For an old lady of this age, she always felt that if she hit her, she might be sent directly to be cremated... But, having said that, this "old lady"'s wrist didn't feel old when she grasped it.

Amuro Toru snatched off Nishikawa Susumi's stick and threw it aside. He detained the person and asked doubtfully: "Why did you attack me? What is your purpose? Who sent you here, or was it your own idea?"

…

he asked, sizing up the strange old lady.

Although the opponent looked weak, he was actually weaker... However, after arriving at the castle, this was the first person to show obvious hostility to him.

Just as he was thinking about it, the old lady under his command suddenly struggled and shouted: "Let me go! Otherwise, you will never see that high school detective again!"

"..." Amuro Toru reacted for a while, then hesitated, "You want to say that you captured Jiang Xia?"

"Of course." The old woman sneered and continued to say harsh words, "Let go, or I guarantee he won't survive today!"

...Xikawa Suimei secretly thought that Jiang Xia happened to be missing anyway. It's better to take advantage of this first and pretend that you have a hostage.

In this way, as long as Amuro Toru hesitates for a moment, she can take the opportunity to break free and rush into the secret passage to escape.

Nishikawa Suimi is thinking about her future.

After a second or two, she realized that Toru Amuro was holding her hand without letting go at all. The "hostage" didn't seem to have the threatening effect it should have.

Nishikawa Susumi raised her head in confusion, and saw Conan and Toru Amuro looking at her silently, their expressions subtly synchronized.

That is a very complicated sight. If we had to put it into concrete form, it could probably be translated as: ...just you?
