Corpse collector in Conan

Jiang Xia disappeared without warning. In the castle room, Amuro Toru, Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent - none of them could even accurately tell the time when they last saw Jiang Xia.

——There happened to be two windows in this room, and there was a clothes hanger in the middle to block the view. Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan did not see Jiang Xia, so they thought that Jiang Xia, as a boy, was going to have sex with the man next to the other window. Pile up.

Toru Amuro felt that Jiang Xia must be on the side of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko based on the enthusiasm Jiang Xia expressed towards his two female classmates.

As for Conan... As soon as he arrived at the window, he entered the puzzle-solving mode as soon as he saw the huge chessboard full of puzzles, without even thinking about the question "Which window is Jiang Xia next to?"

Now that Conan was aware of the situation, he silently lowered his head and reflected - his observation skills were so poor that he didn't notice that there was a living person missing next to him... It shouldn't be, this really shouldn't be the case.

There is no signal here, so there is no way to use the mobile phone to ask where Jiang Xia is now.

However, although one person was missing, the four of them had not heard any suspicious movements just now, let alone screams. So they didn't panic at all - maybe Jiang Xia just went to the bathroom.

However, they went to the bathroom and looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

Considering that the terrain of this castle is relatively complex, several people walked around in the corridor on the same floor for a while, but did not see Jiang Xia at all.

Finally, the four of them stared at the end of the corridor and fell into silence.

This is a bit strange. Even if you get lost, you won't get lost in other levels.

Conan frowned, thinking of Jiang Xia's reasoning speed, and suddenly thought: "He...Did brother Jiang Xia solve the puzzle, so he went to the location indicated by the chess piece?" Jiang Xia may have already made a preliminary inference, but I wasn't quite sure of my judgment, so I wanted to verify it first.

After having this idea, Conan remembered how Jiang Xia carefully answered questions when he was dragged by Kudo Yukiko to participate in a puzzle game when he was a child. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.

Toru Amuro didn't have as much imagination material as Conan. He thought wrongly: "You want to say that Jiang Xia went to find the treasure by himself?"

...But if Jiang Xia really deciphered the code, even if he didn't tell the castle owner, he would at least tell them.

This kind of sneaking away can easily be thought of as "snatching the treasure".

But Toru Amuro thought about the funds that were not embezzled by Jiang Xia but were used to advertise the store, as well as the experience coupons and Feng Shui Pills that Jiang Xia refused to sell, and felt that Jiang Xia should not be that stupid.

Of course Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan didn't think about the bad things.

Suzuki Sonoko was convinced: "He must be obsessed with solving puzzles and was too focused. When he left, he forgot to tell us - that so-and-so, Kudo. Didn't he often run away suddenly when he thought of clues?"

Mao Lilan nodded decisively: "Indeed."

After such inferences, although the mental journeys of the four people were completely different, they managed to come to similar conclusions.

"This castle is very big. If you want to confirm the location of the treasure, it will indeed take a lot of time." Toru Amuro said, turning around, "Let's go back to the room and wait. Maybe he will go back by himself after a while. .”

However, it turned out that it didn't.

Until dinner time, Jiang Xia did not show up.

However, Mamiya Mitsuru sent someone to find them - Mamiya Mitsuru prepared a feast for the guests, and wanted to ask about the progress of solving the puzzle.

When the four of them arrived at the restaurant, Mitsuru Mamiya rubbed his hands and came up to them. Then he was confused and disappointed to find that the detective he had most high hopes for was missing.

After such a long time, the protagonists finally realized that things seemed to be beyond expectations.

No matter why Jiang Xia left, he still hasn't come back so late. Maybe there was an accident.

Toru Amuro's face was particularly ugly.

He looked out the dark window, and for the nth time he couldn't help but think of the weird tooth marks on his tires and the inexplicable puncture.

If the tire blowout was not an accident at all, but caused by other people or other things, such as g...cough, no, it can only be interference from other people. That meant that Mitsuru Mamiya, the owner of the castle, might not be as friendly as he showed.

Mamiya Mitsuru was peeping around to find where the famous young detective was, but before he could find it, he suddenly felt a shiver behind him.

Mamiya Mitsuru raised his head alertly and found Toru Amuro staring at him with a creepy gaze again.

Mitsuru Mamiya shrank his neck: "What, what's wrong? Where is that young gentleman?"

Amuro Toru looked at him silently for a while, but saw no problem.

He pressed his frown, and after a moment, he remembered the vast area of ​​the castle and the number of Mamiya Mitsuru's servants. He tried to tell Mamiya Mitsuru about someone missing, and planned to ask the castle owner to help find the person.

If Mamiya Mitsuru really plotted against Jiang Xia and caused Jiang Xia to disappear, then if Mamiya Mitsuru was asked to help find someone, at most he would only be laughed at by Mamiya Mitsuru for "trusting others easily", and there would be no worse consequences.

And if Mamiya is full of innocent people, then his group of helpers will undoubtedly greatly increase the speed of finding people.

If Jiang Xia's disappearance was not due to someone's plot, but because he was unlucky enough to encounter an accident - for example, if he followed the prompts and found a certain place, but the place fell into disrepair and suddenly collapsed, causing him to be trapped, then he would have been found earlier, of course. This will help you avoid accidents.

…

Mamiya Mitsuru did not refuse.

Someone is missing from his home, or a detective who is suspected of finding treasure is missing. Of course, he must do his best to find the person.

While Mamiya Mitsuru and the protagonists are trying to find someone, there is another person in the gloomy secret passage who is desperately trying to find Jiang Xia.

Nishikawa Suimi, the maid who had been transformed into a fake old lady, was walking silently in the long passage carrying a wooden stick.

She usually pretends to be demented, but in fact she has been paying close attention to what is happening at home. Today, as soon as several guests came, Nishikawa Suimei noticed it immediately.

Sitting in a wheelchair, she pretended to be crazy and chatted with a few customers. She was shocked to find that there were two detectives in the group, one of whom was quite famous.

Nishikawa Suimei was a little nervous. Firstly, she was worried that these people would covet her treasure. Secondly, she had killed so many people before, so she naturally felt guilty towards police detectives and the like.

Nishikawa Suimei originally planned to wait until later to take the opportunity to drive these people away, but before that, she suddenly discovered that the young famous detective was missing.

Others couldn't figure out why a living person could disappear out of thin air, but Nishikawa Suimei knew it very well.

——She had accidentally discovered the mechanism in the castle before and knew the distribution of the secret passages well. Nishikawa Suimei recalled where Jiang Xia and the others were when they observed the chessboard, and immediately realized that there happened to be a secret passage entrance nearby.

The detective must have discovered the secret passage and walked in.
