Corpse collector in Conan

In Jiang Xia's impression, the place where Ehara Tokio was scheduled to die was a party called "Izu Mysterious Journey".

The organizer of the party was a person with the forum ID "Night Baron". The Night Baron invited some people online to go to the Izu Princess Hotel for a three-day and two-night trip.

During the trip, the organizer will serve as the "Night Baron", hiding among the many participants, and create some incidents one after another. Those who can discover the true identity of the "Night Baron" can get a prize - a virus also named "The Night Baron".

Previously, after Jiang Xia saw the name "Ehara Tokio" on the assassination list, she immediately went to the forum to search for relevant information.

He successfully found the Night Baron event post, but by then, registration had ended.

If you want to pick up ghosts, you either have to travel to the same place, or you have to keep an eye on other people's quotas - this forum does not have real-name authentication, and quotas can be transferred.

Jiang Xia remembered that an old friend of Dr. Ali happened to sign up for this trip, but just before departure, the person's granddaughter fell ill. So he gave the opportunity to Dr. Ali.

The doctor is not very interested in the computer field. Recently, he is still preparing to join the society and has little time to travel.

Therefore, Jiang Xia felt that if Dr. A Li really received the invitation, he could go to his house more often to check out the situation, and he might be eligible to participate.

Anyway, the two families are so close to each other, so I dropped by when I was returning lunch boxes or grabbing a meal.

Compared with paying out of your own pocket and deliberately making a trip to Izu, this kind of participation qualification that is "sent to me by others" is less likely to arouse suspicion.

…

After making the plan, Jiang Xia went next door to have breakfast with Haiyuan Ai the next day.

As a result, he left too early. Dr. Ali stayed up late yesterday to conduct experiments, and he still hasn't gotten up yet.

Jiang Xia sighed silently, this old man deserved to have so little hair.

The first attempt to steal the case failed.

Dr. A Li's charging time is unknown. Waiting until he gets up is unrealistic and too deliberate.

So Jiang Xia didn't stay too long, but continued to do business - after carrying a few cat bags out of the house, he went to the detective agency as usual. Be prepared to receive invitations and work on your backlog.

One day passed, all the cats were delivered, and no invitation came to the door.

Jiang Xia said he was very calm.

At night, Jiang Xia locked the door of the detective agency, continued to go to Dr. Ali's house to have dinner, and started her second attempt to solve the case.

This time, the doctor woke up, but he didn't mention Izu's mysterious journey, maybe because he hadn't received the quota transferred from others yet.

However, what was more surprising was that after eating, Jiang Xia suddenly received a text message.

…

The sender is shown as "Hijikata Kozaburo", a middle-aged actor who is quite famous but has been involved in scandals recently.

Not long ago, Jiang Xia and this person participated in the same detective variety show.

At that time, Hijikata Kozaburo discovered Jiangxia's "cheating" behavior in the reasoning game, and his attitude immediately changed 180°. From turning a blind eye to Jiangxia, or even avoiding him, he quickly developed to exchanging business cards with a smile.

Jiang Xia then conveniently saved his number.

…

At this time, after receiving the text message, Jiang Xia unlocked the screen and clicked to view it.

Then, as expected, he discovered that this was indeed a message inviting him to be a guest - the reason was that Kozaburo Hijikata would be taking on a detective TV series in the near future, and he wanted to ask Jiang Xia, a famous detective, about the real life of a detective.

Time is relatively short, it's tomorrow. And there are some cryptic additional messages.

Jiang Xia smelled a hint of bad intentions from this invitation.

But he didn't mind at all, because the obviously murderous aura was stronger.

Jiang Xia moved her fingers happily and replied, "I will definitely attend the appointment on time."

He still vividly remembered the murderous aura in Hijikata Kozaburo.

It seems that after preparing for so many days, Hijikata finally couldn't hold back and planned to carry out his plan of "killing his wife in front of the detective".

…

Hijikata Kozaburo's recent life has been very troubled - he and his wife cheated on each other, but he was inferior in skills and failed to leave evidence of his wife's cheating. Instead, he was photographed by the other party.

Currently, his wife is taking advantage of this to extort high alimony from him.

Hijikata Kozaburo couldn't beat his opponent, so he decided to overturn the chessboard in anger.

——He used the layout of his home to carefully design a murder method, and planned to find someone whose speech was significant enough to serve as an "eyewitness" for him. Try to clear his name on the spot after the crime is committed, and pass the blame for the murder to the young neighbor who cheated on him.

In the last variety show, Hijikata exposed Jiang Xia's "cheating", which made him feel that Jiang Xia was a fool detective with only fame and no strength. The ability to solve the case depends entirely on the capital operation and think tanks behind it.

The recent serial murder case at the underwater restaurant made Hijikata Kozaburo confirm this idea.

——What is the shadow of the car accident... Hehe, this must be just an excuse for Jiang Xia not to solve the case. The real reason why the case was not solved must be that the incident happened suddenly. In such a closed sea, his think tank could not provide support, so he said nothing in that case.

In short, in Hijikata Kozaburo's view, Jiang Xiayi is an excellent "eyewitness".

And in the last show, Jiang Xia looked obviously panicked after he exposed her cheating. Kozaburo Hijikata claims to be a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry. Faced with such young people who are timid, have no independent opinions, and have a bad mentality, he can take full control with one hand.

Jiang Xia has the leverage in his hands, so he must not dare to refuse this invitation.

To be on the safe side, in the invitation text message sent to Jiang Xia, Hijikata Kozaburo deliberately arranged the meeting time very close to each other, so that Jiang Xia would not have time to discuss with his think tanks.

In addition, after "ps", Hijikata Kozaburo also specifically stated that this is a friendly mentorship - it is enough for two people to meet in private, and do not bring in some strange people to mix it up.

This "strange person" is of course alluding to the think tank behind Jiang Xia.

…

Hijikata Kozaburo sent a carefully written text message and was about to pour a cup of tea.

As soon as he stood up, his cell phone rang.

He was startled, looked at the screen, and saw that it was Jiang Xia who had replied to the message - the fake detective had indeed agreed.

And it turned out to be a matter of seconds.

This speed and attitude made Hijikata Kozaburo secretly nod with pleasure.

It seems that Jiang Xia has indeed realized that he has caught the handle.

Maybe these days, Jiang Xia has been anxiously waiting to be contacted by him, and even added him to his special attention... That's why he replied so quickly.
