Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 550 Rejecting fate

In addition, Toru Amuro continued to rule out: This will not be because Jiang Xia set up a trap.

Jiang Xia has been sitting next to him, wearing a seat belt. Even if he looks straight ahead while driving, he will definitely not be able to detect if the person sitting next to him makes any small move that could break a tire, or if he has set up a similar mechanism in the car in advance.

…So how exactly do these tires break?

There are still many things in this world that cannot be fully explained by science.

In the past, Toru Amuro always felt that those things were far away from him.

But now...

"..."

After this observation of Jiang Xia is over, when you have free time, you may try to take Conan and Jiang Xia out together, and then find an excuse to apply for more infrared devices, pinhole cameras, hunting nets, etc. Position monitoring of your own vehicle.

Although there are things that are difficult to explain, there must not be too many. Perhaps, this is actually a tire blowout achieved through some ingenious means, but he hasn't been able to see through it yet...

Jiang Xia seemed to think so too - Toru Amuro saw Jiang Xia looking at the tires for a while, then began to look at the frame of the trunk lid, and pressed the back seat a few times, as if he was concentrating on the unknown creature sneaking into the trunk and breaking it. Tire method.

Seeing this, he took the opportunity to type an email and send it to his subordinates.

——Immediately bring a spare tire, pretend to be a tourist or a person visiting relatives, drive "by" here, and pick them up.

In addition, the subordinates also have backup infrared cameras.

Taking into account his own experience, when Toru Amuro sent the message, he asked Kazami Yuya to arrange two opposite instruments to monitor the trunk in all directions to prevent any blind spots.

In this way, even if Kazami Yuya had a flat tire when he came to pick them up, he could still find the culprit of the punctured tire.

After solving the current dilemma, Toru Amuro put away his phone and glanced at the faint light dozens of meters away.

——There seems to be a foreign hotel there for travelers with flat tires to stay.

...but he won't go.

Next to him, Jiang Xia rummaged through the trunk for a while, but seemed unable to find any useful clues, so she had to stop.

He straightened up, followed Toru Amuro's gaze towards the light source, and suggested, "Why don't you go and stay there for one night first, and wait until the tow truck company goes to work tomorrow, and then find someone to tow the car away?"

Toru Amuro shook his head: he would wait for his subordinates to come over and then go on the road overnight.

Of course, it is impossible to tell Jiang Xia directly the real reason.

Toru Amuro quickly found an excuse.

He showed a gloomy smile belonging to Bourbon, as if he had understood all the truth:

"Don't you think it's a coincidence? - We happened to have a tire puncture here, and there was another mansion near the puncture point. It was as if someone was forcing us to go to that house."

Jiang Xia: "..."

...a little bit guilty.

But then I thought about it, unless the boss completely abandoned scientific concepts, in his eyes, the co-pilot, who had been sitting quietly next to him to catch up on his sleep, obviously had no chance to attack the tires.

So Jiang Xia maintained the calm on his face and nodded along with Amuro Toru's words: "Indeed."

At the same time, I began to think: If the boss makes up his mind and refuses to stay overnight, then how to let him in as reasonably as possible...

At this time, Wutian Dog fell from the side and landed on Jiang Xia's shoulder as if nothing had happened.

——This is the place where it used to like to stay, but it was later occupied by the new ghost Matsuda Jinpei whose condition was unknown. At this time, Matsuda Jinpei moved to the other side because of a guilty conscience, and crowded together with other ghosts. This place was temporarily vacant.

Kiritengu secretly glanced at Matsuda Jinpei, folded his wings slightly nervously and sat down.

Finding that the other party had no intention of coming back, it breathed a small sigh of relief, hugged its knees and melancholy recalled the beautiful life of having its own exclusive territory in the past.

Then he returned to business and told Jiang Xia that he had just peeked at the text message sent by Amuro Toru.

——Toru Amuro arranged for "passers-by" from the police to come and rescue the two people who were forced to break down.

Jiang Xia: "..."

...No wonder the boss is so confident that he would rather stay in the cold woods in the middle of the night than enter the house. It turned out that he was still thinking of leaving.

Speaking of which, it is not difficult to damage Yuya Fengmi's tires, but as far as Jiang Xia knows, in addition to Yuya Fengmi's car, there are many other police cars behind him.

If you do it all one by one, the workload will be too much. And it always feels like that way, the intention will become too obvious. The matter of a flat tire will lose a sense of mystery, which will easily arouse the boss's desire to explore and slow down his acceptance of the "flat tire"...

So let’s change to a slightly more technical idea.

for example……

Let Feng Jian Yu also disappear in this forest for a while?

——Although the boss is a little devilish at work, he is not the kind of person who can pretend that nothing happened and continue on the road ruthlessly after his subordinates disappear.

In other words, if Kazami Yuya who came to pick him up suddenly disappeared, Toru Amuro would probably continue to stay nearby until the police found him.

In this way, Jiang Xia would have the opportunity to stay for a while next to a nearby house that looked quite eerie and had the potential to give birth to ghosts.

Thinking like this, when Toru Amuro said to him, "Someone may have deliberately spread sharp objects on the road to scratch the tires and attract people into the house, so it is best not to go directly and check the situation in the car first." Jiang Xia had no idea. He nodded in dissent and returned to the car with Toru Amuro.

Then he yawned, leaned back in his chair, and expertly entered into the process of falling asleep.

At the same time, he released the shikigami in the seal space, letting them float farther away. Finally, it was transformed into puppet clay under a strong tree and accumulated into shape.

The puppet appeared out of nowhere, and as Miss Spider jumped into it, a figure wearing a white kimono and a bamboo hat of the same color took shape under the tree. It was mixed in the thick fog, like an ethereal vapor.

Jiang Xia consciously went in and adjusted the hat unaccustomedly so that it could block the mark on his forehead.

Afterwards, with the sound of a slight tearing of fabric, eight slender spider legs poked out from behind the puppet. Jiang Xia identified the direction and began to walk quickly through the forest.

——When signing a contract with ghost fetuses, the ghosts have a chance to awaken special skills.

Some of these skills are very useful, and some are... mixed feelings.

As for Miss Spider, her awakened skills are related to the legend of her hometown. Although it is a little more complicated, it can provide a good boost if used properly.

Previously, Jiang Xia tentatively named this skill "Question from Heaven". When activating the skill, the user must ask the target questions in turn: "Do you think there is paradise in this world?", "What kind of place is that?", and "Do you want to go see it with me?".
