Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 533: Idle time is also idle, let’s do something (monthly ticket adds more updates)

Now that her stomach was growling, Mao Lilan almost wanted to work as Jiang Xia's assistant.

It's a pity that she doesn't like reasoning very much, and she doesn't dare to skip class every day like Jiang Xia. Mao Lilan sighed and thought to herself that if one day she got full marks in all subjects, she could skip a class and experience the free life in Jiangxia...

Well, there is also this store. I'll give it a try when I save some pocket money from working during the holidays. Of course, it would be perfect if the restaurant could host some lottery experiences...

…

When Mao Lilan looked through the lottery information expectantly.

Next to him, Conan had seen the photo of the scene in the restaurant, but he still couldn't rest assured. Instead, he felt that things were even weirder.

——If Jiang Xia rushed to the client's place after being separated from them and before he called. Then due to the need for entrustment, he stopped contacting the outside world... So Jiang Xia has been out of touch, but it can still be tolerated.

But in fact, Jiang Xia was eating out.

And judging from the photos Xiaolan showed, there is no similar "mysterious client" around Jiang Xia. In other words, Jiang Xia went there with Boss Amuro... Since there was no client with him, what kind of task should be kept so secret that he couldn't even reply to his friends?

What's more, judging from the photos, Toru Amuro clearly has a mobile phone in his hand, so why can't Jiang Xia use it? This is too suspicious.

By the way, he installed a transmitter on Toru Amuro before...

Conan remembered this and secretly pressed on the temples of his glasses while Mao Lilan wasn't paying attention.

One of the lenses suddenly changed color and switched to the display interface of the transmitter.

However, at this time, there is no small dot representing the position.

——The transmitter installed on Amuro Tohru's car is no longer working at this time.

"..."

Conan was silent for a moment and pressed a few more times to call up the route he took before the transmitter lost contact.

I saw a red line segment outlined in my field of vision, bending and spreading. It did not pass by the restaurant where Jiang Xia was murdered, but went in another direction.

Conan thought for a while and called up the map.

After comparing it for a while, he found that the route taken by the transmitter happened to be along a stream... Maybe Toru Amuro noticed the transmitter and threw it into the river. The signal was suddenly cut off just now, was it because the transmitter was finally damaged by water?

Conan was a little disappointed. It seemed that the tracking method "transmitter" was not very useful for private detectives.

…

No clues could be obtained from the transmitter, and no one answered the call to Jiang Xia. Maori Kogoro and Mao Lilan lacked the necessary vigilance towards Toru Amuro. In addition, according to the known information, it may be difficult to file a case if the police are called now.

Conan thought about the current situation and sighed sadly. He could only hope for the time being that he was overthinking.

At the same time, he opened the browser and began to search for keywords about restaurants and Jiangxia, intending to get more relevant information - such as other perspectives of the case just now, or photos from other times.

——If Toru Amuro really has a problem, with Jiang Xia's observation ability that is like reading a script when solving crimes, he will definitely be able to detect the danger.

Perhaps those photos will contain the message Jiang Xia wants to convey to the outside world.

Conan looked serious as he looked through the online interface and quickly found the photo he wanted.

...Well, in this picture, Jiang Xia is leaning on the door frame and looking at other people's calves. It doesn't look like she's asking for help, she's just distracted.

...It doesn’t look like this one either. He was looking at desserts, maybe he wasn’t full. He also experienced this kind of thing that was suddenly interrupted in the middle of the meal... Conan couldn't help but nodded secretly.

...This picture shows me touching a potted plant in someone else's shop. The action of pinching the leaves is like turning a cat's ears... Could this be some kind of hint? Or are you on a business trip and have no cat to pet, so you have to pet something else?

Anyway, save it first...

Conan solemnly pressed save.

…

When Conan browsed through the photos of the case, trying to find help information that did not exist.

On the other side, snow gradually began to fall on the road.

A white Mazda was driving into the distance at a constant speed.

Toru Amuro felt that he had never driven such a careful car before.

Before getting on the highway, he secretly threw the dice while Jiang Xia next to him was catching up on his sleep on the passenger seat.

...to the southwest.

Amuro Toru opened her eyes to Yamanashi Prefecture.

…

It drove silently all the way.

It wasn't until he left the Tokyo area that Toru Amuro felt the stable body of the car, looked at the stable dashboard, and breathed a sigh of relief.

...No punctures, no strange things happened.

What a blessing.

Perhaps Jiang Xia's bad luck has been used up in the previous two cases?

Toru Amuro looked in the rearview mirror at the rapidly passing Tokyo landmarks, and for a moment, he felt much more relaxed.

Originally, according to his plan, if an incident occurred within a week, Jiang Xia's "incident constitution" would be supported by evidence.

Unexpectedly, now, let alone a week, there have been two incidents in one day, and three people have died...

In Toru Amuro's heart, the label "Uzuo" has actually become farther and farther away from Jiang Xia.

But he didn't put the person back immediately.

The purpose of his trip this time was to go to Gunma County to handle organizational tasks.

If Jiang Xia were not Wu Zuo, then he would have to take Jiang Xia with him on this mission - peripheral members who paddle too much will be thrown away by the organization and used as cannon fodder. Even if Jiang Xia's identity as a famous detective is quite useful, if his motivation and loyalty are insufficient, the final result may be that he is assigned a task of "using his identity as a detective to assassinate someone and complete the task", and then either commits a suicide attack. Complete the mission, or disobey and wait to be cleaned up...that would not be good.

Moreover, Jiang Xia's connections and organizational power are easier to spread within Tokyo. To be on the safe side, it is best to go to a place where you are not really familiar with and see the situation for testing.

More importantly, the plan had already been made - Toru Amuro and his men had set aside a whole week for this purpose. Now that we have to leave anyway, why not just go out to Beijing to test things out and solve Jiang Xia's identity problem once and for all.

…

More than a thousand meters away, Feng Jian Yuya suddenly turned his head and sneezed.

He pressed his nose in confusion, suspecting that he was being talked about by the devil boss again, but he had no evidence...

…

It was rare that nothing happened all the way in the car, so Toru Amuro didn't stop at all.

He threw the dice again midway, then followed the instructions of fate and continued on, driving to Nagano Prefecture overnight.

After that, the two of them found a restaurant in the city that was still open for dinner.

After finishing their meal in a hurry and waiting for their subordinates to make the necessary arrangements at the hotel, Amuro Toru and Jiang Xia stayed at the hotel to catch up on their sleep.

Jiang Xia didn't need to worry about driving. He was sleeping all the time in the car.

So the next day, unlike Toru Amuro, who worked hard, he woke up very early.
