Corpse collector in Conan

Conan had often sneaked away before, and the naive Mao Lilan was not suspicious of this.

She knew that Suzuki Sonoko was indeed not good at taking care of children, but she was quite good at fighting with them... So she said something to Mouri Kogoro and Jiang Xia, and quickly returned to the room.

The two righteous little lambs who had entered the scene had all left the battlefield. Both Toru Amuro and Jiang Xia are very satisfied with this situation.

Toru Amuro is innocent and cannot eavesdrop on other people's phone calls.

But he glanced at Mao Lilan's retreating back, and the mobile phone she held in her hand, and then thought of "Suzuki Sonoko" who left here at some point, and guessed that this was probably the work of Belmode.

This is a bit nosy. But if you think about it carefully, it seems normal. Belmod has always been a strange cadre. Most of the time, she is ruthless and has one vicious scheme after another. Sometimes she even doesn't hesitate to abandon a little bit of moral integrity and use beauty traps against her enemies and friends. But sometimes, she will take the initiative to avoid hurting innocent passers-by, and is especially tolerant of children. Maybe she has reached the age where she likes children?

Amuro Toru had a vague feeling that maybe he could dig out more of Belmod's secrets based on her habits and use them as leverage or bargaining chips.

But now, it's not the time to think about this. You must first complete the tasks assigned by the organization.

Toru Amuro turned around and looked. Currently, the only irrelevant person among them was Kogoro Mouri. Fortunately, Mouri Kogoro looks easy to fool, so he won't cause trouble easily...

Toru Amuro temporarily turned his attention away from the innocent passers-by and began to concentrate on this mission.

…

Although the police identified three suspects, they were only suspects after all, not criminals.

It was already very late, and there was no progress in the case, so Yamamura Cao asked the three of them to go back to rest, and planned to ask them to go to the police station to take notes the next day.

The other two people left quickly. However, Watanuki Chenzo did not leave the hall. Instead, he went to the vending machine and bought a bottle of hot coffee in a metal can. After opening it, he drank it slowly while looking at Jiang Xia from the corner of his eye.

Just now, the information provided by Tatsuzo Watanuki's assistant was not accurate. He only said that "a detective saw a maple tree with an old handkerchief tied around it." Watanuki Tatsumi glanced at it, and by default, the "detective" became the more famous Jiang Xia.

But now, Watanuki Chenzo discovered that Jiang Xia's demeanor was indeed not quite right. This young man seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand it at all. It was very subtle...

But all in all, one thing is for sure.

——For the murderer Watanuki Tatsuzo, this was an expression that was enough to make him sound the alarm.

…

After a few minutes, Watanuki Tatsuzo felt that his decision to observe Jiang Xia was really wise.

——Jiang Xia was pacing in the lobby of the hotel, wandering here and there, pondering for a moment about the evidence secretly photographed on her mobile phone, and then suddenly, as if confirming something, she talked to the man next to him who looked like a foreigner. The blond man muttered something.

Then the two people turned around and left, entering the mountains.

"..." Wankuan Chensan took a breath silently, waited for a moment, and followed him as if nothing had happened.

You really can't relax at all when dealing with these detectives. What if Jiang Xia and the others found some important clues when they went back to rest just now, and then took the police there overnight, things would be in trouble.

Fortunately, now, thanks to his wit, everything is still under control.

Although I am not sure what the two detectives are going to do, it is said that one force can defeat ten guilds - Mian Guanchen has brought more than 60 younger brothers. Wanting two people to disappear quietly in the mountains is as difficult as raising your hand to kill two annoying mosquitoes.

…

Jiang Xia and Toru Amuro went out together.

Considering that Tatsuzo Watanuki was following behind him, although he was a criminal, he was still an old man.

So the two of them slowed down their pace respectfully, chatting in low voices, pretending to discuss important issues, and flashing flashlights. They walked toward the mountains not too slowly, but not too fast, maintaining the composure that adult detectives should have. speed.

Watanuki Chensan was worried that he wouldn't be able to catch up at first, so he sent a message to his younger brothers in advance to ask them to keep an eye on him.

However, the speed of the detectives from thinking to going out was not fast, but not slow either. So when the two detectives went out and Watanuki Tatsuzo followed him for a long distance, he realized that the younger brothers were not there yet and had not returned. His message. Only the assistant who was with me at the hotel followed me.

...I don’t know if the other people are being lazy, or the signal in the mountains is not working, or they are focused on looking for things and haven’t seen the message?

Fortunately, it doesn't matter. There are more than a dozen of his younger brothers around every possible hiding place. Once there is movement, other groups can quickly catch up.

With this thought in mind, Watanuki Tatsuzo continued to follow intently.

…

Ahead, two detectives were walking along the mountain road, whispering something as they searched, seemingly exchanging information about the case.

However, if Watanuki Tatsuzo and his assistant's hearing skills were better, they would have discovered that Jiang Xia and the others were talking about another topic entirely.

"The mission is finally coming to an end." Toru Amuro couldn't help but reveal his innermost thoughts, and his tone sounded a little relieved.

Jiang Xia nodded. In the night, the dim light from the flashlight hit his face, giving him a dark outline, making him look inexplicably heavy.

Toru Amuro glanced at him and said casually: "The name of Mud Shenhui sounds a bit rustic, but in fact it is not an honest organization. Their branches have expanded to Southeast Asia and South America, everything you can name. They were all involved in criminal acts... Murder and hiding corpses were commonplace, so Watanuki Tatsuzo didn't care much about the case where his assistant was killed. He only cared about the lives of his colleagues who were killed by him five years ago. Whether the body will be exposed, in his opinion, this is the only thing that can threaten his current status - in short, we will face a group of desperadoes later, so don't take it lightly."

It seemed like he was reminding Jiang Xia of the danger of this mission, but actually he wanted to tell Jiang Xia that Watanuki Tatsuzo was not a good person. After catching his mistakes and handing them over to the organization and participating in the meeting, the old guy will not live long, but it is his own fault, not the indirect murder of the person who caught his evidence.

However, high school detectives generally seem to value human life, both good and bad.

After listening to what he said, Jiang Xia just nodded seriously to show that he would be more vigilant, but his expression did not look much relaxed.

Toru Amuro sighed inwardly and changed other topics.

…

The two people just murmured meaningly for a while to match their deliberately slow pace.

Ten minutes later, Jiangxia and Toru Amuro stopped in front of a maple tree.

An old red handkerchief was tied to a branch, floating faintly in the night, as if summoning spirits.
