Corpse collector in Conan

……Forget it.

Is it that the task of picking things up for free is not fun, or is it that the high-end murderous aura of gin is difficult to collect? Why make your paddling life more difficult?

Let’s wait for the island country’s public security to step up its defense efforts before discussing this kind of thing.

Toru Amuro really knew nothing about Jiang Xia's code name.

He is indeed doing well in the organization and has a lot of information in his hands, but most of that information was dug out by Toru Amuro himself, rather than being actively provided to him by the organization. Bourbon's undercover career was considered a success. But as long as Rum is still afraid of him, Toru Amuro will inevitably be constrained in the organization.

If you check hard, you may be able to find clues. But Toru Amuro never imagined that Jiang Xia, who was working in his office as an ordinary person, would suddenly become a full member.

So currently, in Amuro Toru's eyes, Jiang Xia is no different from before except that he is more famous.

After Jiang Xia discovered this, he simply pretended that nothing happened.

He glanced at the book in Toru Amuro's hand and asked in a low voice like a serious helper: "Got a mission?"

"Yes." Toru Amuro responded and handed him the book in his hand, "Page 156."

This is a mystery novel that has just been published.

Jiang Xia opened the book and turned to the page that Amuro Toru was talking about, and found that it was about an episode the protagonist encountered in solving the case - the protagonist encountered an explosion, and the person who caused the explosion was "all in black, gray and white" The old man's hair was swollen, his floppy face was buried in a thick scarf, and there was a black mole hanging under his eyes."

This bunch of words...

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment and vaguely guessed something: "When the author was collecting the material, did he witness our people creating explosions?"

Toru Amuro nodded: "The time, place, and character characteristics all match. If it were just an ordinary member, the matter would be simple, just silence him. But the person witnessed this time has a lot of seniority. So further confirmation is needed. ——The writer who wrote this book has the habit of taking photos to collect materials. If he has relevant photos..."

Jiang Xia: "..."

It seems that it's not that Gin is unlucky, but that every member of the organization is unlucky - for example, this old member who was picked on can be secretly photographed for committing random crimes.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia himself is just a happy paddling monster, and he probably hasn't been exposed to too much organizational bad luck.

Having said that, this writer is actually quite unlucky...

Jiang Xia closed the book and glanced at the author's name sympathetically, and found that it was a somewhat impressive name, "Imazhu Chi".

Amuro Toru found out that Imakichi would be traveling here in the near future, so he planned to pretend to be his fan, have a chance encounter, make a conversation, and then walk around Imakichi's room to look for possible incriminating photos.

Now that he met Jiang Xia, Amuro Toru immediately thrust the book into Jiang Xia's hand, and handed Jiang Xia a piece of information about Imadochi. Leave the job of pretending to be a fan to him.

He felt that Jiang Xia had a higher affinity than him.

In the past, when he occasionally approached the target together, he kept smiling until his face almost froze, but the effect was not as good as Jiang Xia standing next to the target.

Jiang Xia had an extra job inexplicably, but he had no objections to it since he had a soul to pick up.

Jiang Xia briefly looked at the information. The target's pen name is "Imaki Chi". This person has recently won a literary award and is in the limelight.

Imakichi lives in Room 202 of this hotel. He came here because he was invited by an old friend.

The information provided by Toru Amuro also contains some information about "old friends". An old friend named Sasai Nobuchi is also a writer. He once collaborated with Imtake Satoshi, but unlike Imtake Satoshi, who has become so successful, Sasai Nobuchi is still unknown.

These two familiar names made Jiang Xia quickly think of an incident... It seemed that this time there was no need to organize a silence, and Imazuki would be killed automatically by others.

Rounding it all off, I picked up another task for nothing.

Jiangxia read the information and handed it back to Toru Amuro, and the two of them began to wait for the writer to come downstairs.

However, it may be that writers are a bit of a nerd. They waited for a long time, but Imazuki was still in his room with no intention of coming out.

In this way, Jiang Xia can't pretend to be a fanboy, and Amuro Toru can't sneak into Imatake Satoshi's room to look for possible photos of the target.

After waiting, Mao Lilan and Conan came back from the hot spring first.

The two of them were a little surprised when they saw someone else next to Jiang Xia, someone they knew.

Normally, Conan might come over to talk to me.

However, just now, he shamelessly went to take a mixed bath with Mao Lilan. At this time, facing Jiang Xia, who knew that he was "not a real child," Conan felt guilty, fearing that Jiang Xia would accidentally spill the beans, causing Kudo Shinichi to be beaten to death by Qingmei... …so it seems very quiet.

Jiang Xia glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and pretended not to see anything. It just so happened that he didn't want to answer the question right now.

The book that Amuro Toru gave him was quite good. Jiang Xia was flipping through the book to pass the time while waiting for the writer to come downstairs so that he could pick up ghosts... ahem, so that he could help the organization complete its mission.

Toru Amuro didn't wait for his target, but he was not in a hurry because he felt he would have a chance tonight.

——Tonight, a grand festival will be held nearby.

During the festival, a huge text bonfire will be lit on the top of the mountain and a large number of fireworks will be set off, which is a great sight. Almost all the people who have come here in recent days are here for this festival.

Since those two writers are here, they should also go and have a look...

…

Mouri Kogoro and his classmates also came for the festival.

The festival won't start for another hour or two.

In order to kill time, one of Mouri Kogoro's classmates, Nakamichi Kazushi, the bald man with murderous intent, suggested: "Why don't you go play table tennis for a while? When I was wandering around just now, I saw that this hotel has a table tennis table. .”

Next to him, the very beautiful middle-aged aunt, Yumi Horikoshi, glanced at him in surprise, and then her face dropped angrily.

Jiang Xia watched this scene from a distance.

Mouri Kogoro and his group of classmates were all members of the judo club back then.

As early as college days, Nakamichi Kazushi began to have an affair with Horikoshi Yumi, but the two have not been able to achieve success so far.

Recently, Nakamichi Kazushi was about to get married to someone else, but Yumi Horikoshi used photos to blackmail him, so he decided to use this class reunion to kill and silence him.

At this time, Nakamichi Kazushi proposed to play table tennis, which was actually preparing to obtain an alibi.

——He made an appointment with Yumi Horikoshi to "have a chat" before, and then like now, he suddenly proposed to play table tennis and let Yumi Horikoshi's pigeons go.

As a result, the grumpy Yumi Horikoshi would go back to her room to sulk alone, and would refuse to go to the festival with them, leaving her alone.
