Corpse collector in Conan

After locking in the suspect, Conan suddenly remembered one thing:

“No wonder I always feel like something is wrong – it’s my skin color!

"The administrator stays in the mountains all year round and is exposed to the sun. His skin should be as dark as that of the college student, but the administrator we met did not have much traces of sun exposure on his skin.

"Before, the light in the rest stop was dim, coupled with his white beard and hair, his abnormal skin color was not obvious. I thought it was because I had been looking at Brother Amuro for a long time, and suddenly I felt whiter when I looked at other people... so It seems that the administrator is probably not a real staff member, but a fake."

Toru Amuro: "...?"

Although what this kid said was true, his fists became hardened as he listened...

He clicked his fingers. Decided not to argue with the child.

At the same time, I thought to myself: In addition to the administrator who is responsible for preparing dinner and tea, other people also have the opportunity to throw sleeping pills into Jiang Xia's drinking water - just like this strange child sitting next to Jiang Xia during dinner...

And there is another question here. If the administrator put the medicine, why didn't he just put the medicine in the tea, knock everyone down, and then easily kill the client?

Looking at it this way, the administrator's suspicion has become smaller, while the suspicion of others has increased - well, that's right, such as the strange kid next to him.

Toru Amuro thought of another little boy he had met.

The child who loves wearing scarves seems to like using anesthetics. In this case, wouldn't it be very reasonable for a child who likes to throw sleeping pills to come out now?

Toru Amuro briefly speculated about conspiracy.

Then temporarily put aside the suspicion of being mixed with private goods.

Putting aside the prejudice, thinking rationally, the attacker only targeted Jiang Xia, probably because he didn't want to reveal his identity immediately - if everyone was drugged, then unless everyone present was silenced, he would be responsible for drinking water the next day. admins immediately arouse suspicion. But if we only deal with Jiang Xia, if the attack just now is successful, then once Jiang Xia dies, no one will know that he drank sleeping pills before the autopsy. The administrator's identity as a convenient drug addict will not easily arouse suspicion immediately. His actions became much more calm.

And on another matter, the administrator is indeed more suspected than Conan:

"If the administrator is a fake, the motive of the attack on the male college student would make sense - the student often comes to climb mountains and probably knows the real administrator, so the fake administrator received a call from the student to ask about the weather. After the phone call, I realized that this might expose my identity, so I took action in advance..."

In short, whether the fake administrator is the Silver Fox or the "home invasion murderer" played on the radio, his problems seem to be quite big.

Fortunately, after the assassination attempt, their identities were not revealed, and there were other tourists around, the silver fox and the robbers should not act rashly.

Toru Amuro looked at the dark forest outside the cave.

They had followed Etsuko Tokura's voice all the way here, and they didn't know the direction. Now they went out in the dark and could easily get lost. Besides, there are women and children who need to be taken care of here.

——Etsuko Tokura doesn't seem like she can act immediately. If she is carried on her back, if the silver fox or the home invasion murderer is not at the rest stop but wandering in the mountains, they will easily be attacked because they will not be able to take action. , suffered an accident.

If everything goes normally in Jiangxia, the problem of manpower shortage can be easily solved.

But Jiang Xia is now being plotted by an unknown mastermind. Although sleeping pills are not as incapacitating as anesthetics, they will inevitably be in a trance and move slower than usual during the drug's effect. It's really dangerous to go out like this.

"Let's wait here for a moment." Toru Amuro looked at his watch, "It will be dawn in less than half an hour. We will find a way back then."

This might actually save more time than going out directly.

Jiang Xia nodded.

Conan was fine with that, too.

Etsuko Tokura hugged Jiang Xia and blew the mountain breeze for a while. The fear triggered by the dark rest stop gradually disappeared.

There is no signal here, no novel, and little progress in reasoning.

Conan looked at Etsuko Tokura boredly, remembering that this was a writer who was very high on his appreciation list, and took the initiative to chat: "No wonder you like to use the term 'narrow secret room that is difficult to escape' when describing some horror scenes. The plot, it turns out you are afraid."

Toru Amuro has also read the novels of Etsuko Tokura.

Hearing this sentence, he looked at Conan: "There are many Chinese characters in Miss Tokura's novels, and most of them are not phonetic. Can you understand them?"

"..."

Conan came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, then reflexively pulled up a shield: "My Chinese scores are very good, and when I can't understand, I can ask brother Jiang Xia to read to me, hahaha."

"Oh." Amuro Toru said thoughtfully, "Is Jiang Xia so free?"

Conan froze slightly.

I almost forgot, this seems to be the boss of the office where Jiang Xia is working. It seems not good to say this in person...

So he hurriedly patched up: "Most of the time, I look for Sister Xiaolan..."

Toru Amuro nodded and did not continue to ask this question.

After discovering something suspicious about Conan, he actually asked his subordinates to check out this strange child.

Then he discovered that there was no household registration for "Edogawa Conan" in Tokyo, and he and his parents found no such person.

At present, various places are not fully connected to the Internet, and the situation in other prefectures and counties needs to be slowly investigated.

If after checking, it is found that there is no Edogawa family anywhere else, then the elementary school student in front of me is a gangster with unknown origin...

In addition, according to investigations within Tokyo, the people claiming to be Conan's parents seem to be abroad, and their names and identities are unknown.

The Maori family that adopted Conan was a well-rounded family. One of the couple was a detective, the other was a lawyer, and their daughter was a top student with good conduct and no problems.

Dr. Ali, who was the first to come into contact with Conan, was also a scholar with a clear life experience.

Although from these aspects, even if there is a problem with Conan, it does not seem to be a big problem, but his origin is still a huge mystery that needs to be investigated.

Toru Amuro even suspected that if he continued to investigate like this, he might not only be able to find problems with Conan, but also other abnormal children - such as the kid wearing a scarf who had plotted against him.

Thinking in a more conspiracy theory direction, there may be a dark organization hiding in the darkness of society that gathers genius children and uses them for some unspeakable purpose...

He frowned in thought while subconsciously looking at Conan.
