Corpse collector in Conan

Jiang Xia was puzzled for a moment, then quickly put aside his boss who was good at disappearing and started to prepare the equipment for mountain climbing.

In any case, Toru Amuro would not be able to find evidence that "Jiang Xia was behind the scenes to control the murder case", nor would he arrest the person back to the police station without any reason.

In this case, there is no need to worry too much, and if it is other important matters, Amuro Toru will definitely come to him again.

Thinking this, Jiang Xia looked at the time.

Seeing that it was still early, he locked the door of the office and headed to Mihua Commercial Building.

…

Considering that this time, the client has already walked to the door by himself, and the probability of the "Silver Fox" chasing the client and appearing is very high.

Therefore, Jiang Xia felt that even if he didn't deliberately find someone to go with him, he should be able to get what he wanted.

However, there are always some people who will take the initiative to crash into places where there are incidents.

——While choosing a suitable hiking bag in a shopping mall, Jiang Xia was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

He turned around and saw a familiar classmate standing behind him.

Mao Lilan was carrying a shopping bag, followed by Conan.

She looked at the bags on the shelf and asked curiously: "Are you going to go hiking? Did you get the hospitality ticket in the lottery?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "I haven't won any prizes recently... It's not a famous scenic spot, it's just an ordinary mountain."

Mao Lilan was startled: "Go alone?"

Conan also felt that this scene was quite rare: "It's rare to see you in the mood to travel alone..."

……Um? etc.

Conan suddenly became alert.

This morning, he had just seen a piece of news on TV - an unidentified male body in red was recently discovered in the "Tougami Forest" in Gunma County. Since the police have not yet determined whether it was suicide or homicide, the focus of the report was on the strange forest where the body was found. It was called the "Suicide Land."

There are actually many similar so-called "holy places". A large part of them are distributed in the mountains everywhere.

After suddenly thinking of this, Conan felt more and more suspicious the more he thought about it - speaking of it, when Jiang Xia went out in the past, he seemed to like to find people to go with him, let alone travel, just connect to the commission. Jiang Xia would sometimes ask them specifically. If you have time, even Uncle Maori has been invited several times...

But this time, Jiang Xia actually wanted to go hiking alone?

...It’s very strange, in short, it’s very strange.

Conan thought of the eerie appearance of the suicide holy land, and asked tentatively: "There are many thunderstorms in this season, which is not a good time to climb mountains. Why do you suddenly want to travel to the mountains?"

Jiang Xia looked down at him.

After Kudo-san turned into Conan, every time he asked a question with a purpose, he would subconsciously use the cute tone commonly used by children...

Although I don’t know the reason for Conan’s change of tone this time, one thing is certain – Conan seems to be very interested in mountain climbing.

Jiang Xia fell into deep thought.

...Although in the commission received this time, the chance of Silver Fox appearing in Danyuan Mountain is not small, so there is no need to deliberately bring people here.

But if Conan and Mao Lilan want to come, Jiang Xia will definitely not refuse. With two event physiques by my side, maybe there will be other gains...

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "It's not that I want to travel, but I recently received a strange commission..."

He briefly recounted what happened at the office, as well as the strange words and deeds of his client, Chao Wenzao, who hired a killer to assassinate him and double the mountaineering reward.

Conan: "..."

Mao Lilan: "..."

The two classmates were filled with questions. They obviously didn't expect that such an operation of "paying someone to kill you" could be possible.

Conan digested the amount of information, pulled Jiang Xia aside, and whispered:

"The purpose of this client should not be simple. There are too many variables on the mountain. And the sniper appeared very coincidental. If the client actually has a grudge against you, find someone to pretend to be a sniper in order to trick you out. Find a gunman to assassinate you..."

"I know." Jiang Xia nodded, saying that he had considered the risks, "But anyway, since something like this happened, it shows that snipers are real - if he is left alone, the harm to society will be too great. It’s better to go to the mountain to see the situation and try to lure people out and catch them.”

Conan: "..."

... quite socially responsible.

He sighed inwardly: He was right not to tell Jiang Xia about the black organization. Otherwise, he might have another mature and steady elementary school classmate now...

Conan was silent for a moment, thinking that he had nothing to do the day after tomorrow: "I want to go too."

If you are idle, you might as well find out what is wrong with the client. Thinking about it, this will be an interesting puzzle that is no less difficult than deciphering the murder case.

And he is a child. If the client really has a conspiracy, he will definitely be despised and let him discover more truth.

While making the decision, Conan also found a reason to persuade Jiang Xia: "The matter of 'the client has a problem' is just a conjecture, and it cannot be ruled out that he really lost his mind and hired someone to kill him.

"——Didn't you and the client make an appointment that day to pretend that you don't know each other, wait until you reach the foot of the mountain, and then meet up as strangers? If you go by yourself, you will easily be included in the killer's suspicion. But if you bring a child with you , the killer will treat us as mere tourists and take us lightly."

Hearing this, Jiang Xia hesitated: "This is very dangerous..."

Mao Lilan, who was eavesdropping next to her, twitched her ears. Is it dangerous?

Danger requires more people to go together: "Then I will go too!"

"..." What a group of considerate and good classmates.

Jiang Xia was a little touched, and then decided to find an opportunity to let "Uzuo" out to show them.

...It’s not that he wanted to show off his rare new vest, but the main reason was that Conan seemed to be very interested in the black organization. He might be happy to send a code-named cadre to play with him in advance.

In short, after some not-so-firm rejection, Jiang Xia successfully abducted two classmates with precious event physiques.

…

On the day of the appointment.

Jiang Xia took her packed luggage to the foot of Danyuan Mountain and found the Mountain Management Office.

To climb mountains here, you must first submit the mountain entry procedures. Afterwards, the staff of the management office will send the names of the number of people climbing the mountain to the rest stops along the way, so that people at the rest stops can prepare lunch.

After Jiang Xia handed in the list, he found Mao Lilan and Conan who were waiting next to him.

Mao Lilan looked at the road map at the foot of the mountain: "I'm going to stay at the Mountain Villa tonight... I hope I don't go astray."

Jiang Xia pulled up her mask and pulled down the brim of her hat, pretending that she was not a detective, but just a passerby with a sun allergy:

"It's okay. I heard there is only one road here. But if it doesn't work, you can still go with others."
