Corpse collector in Conan

The silence in the air was not because the three of them were surprised that there was anyone nearby.

But the man on the ground has a really strange appearance - I don't know why, the little boss has bare legs, and the exposed skin is the same as his face, which is full of blue and purple stripes, like an old father who has just been irritated. Educated by whipping.

After a long time, Jiang Xia's ears twitched and she heard Toru Amuro commenting in a low voice: "...immoral."

Jiang Xia: "..."

His eyes wandered slightly, and then he quickly calmed down - strictly speaking, he just borrowed the belt from the little boss and did not directly pick off the other person's pants. As for what happened now... maybe the little boss thought the fabric hurt his skin, so he took off his pants? Or maybe he didn't have the strength to hold up his belt all the time, so he simply let his pants fly freely... No matter how you look at it, it seems that the problem for the person involved is bigger - as an elegant adult, how can he not wear pants because of such trivial matters. It shouldn't, it shouldn't.

Toru Amuro didn't realize that there was a guilty employee standing next to him, and he didn't expect that Jiang Xia was related to this matter.

He actually suspected that this was the work of those peripheral members of the organization. That group of people were as obedient as lambs ready to be slaughtered in front of the code-named cadres, but in fact most of them were out-and-out outlaws. Amuro Toru felt that maybe those peripheral members arranged audio and video equipment nearby according to their own requirements and planned to take photos of Watanuki Chenzo's relevant information. Watanuki Chenzo's younger brother accidentally entered this area, so the peripheral members He taught the other party a lesson without permission... Tsk, he clearly said that just hide nearby and don't conflict with other people, so as not to alert others. These peripheral members of Gunma County are not very obedient.

In addition, even if you want to teach a lesson, why do you have to...make it look like this?

Is there a potential pervert hiding among the fringe members?

Toru Amuro was speechless due to the scene at hand.

At this time, something flashed out of the corner of his eye - Watanuki Chenzo froze for a moment, turned around, and ran away like a fat but agile rabbit.

Watanuki Tatsuzo also didn't know what happened, but he was greatly shocked. And now, his assistant's sneak attack failed and was K.O. in a second. His very capable subordinate turned into that ghost again... There must be something terrible hidden in this forest. Without the help of his younger brother, Watanuki Tatsuzo did not want to fight with two young and strong detectives and an unknown pervert.

The strategy of taking advantage of the situation is not wrong in theory.

But Tatsuzo Watanuki overestimated his speed. Although he was indeed a nimble fat man, he was only more nimble than normal people, and compared to the professionals who were chasing him...

Just a few meters after Watanuki Tatsuzo jumped out, there was the sound of pursuit behind him - if he was a rabbit trying to escape, then Amuro Toru was undoubtedly like a professional counterpart greyhound, he could keep up with him without much effort. The veteran cadre who was involved in the extraordinarily long period of the second phase of the middle school career struck Mian Guanchen on the back of his neck with a knife.

Watanuki Chenzo let out a groan as if he was dying, fell down, and stopped moving.

Amuro's perspective line instinctively followed the movement of the prey, and when his eyes fell to the ground, he was startled.

——Not surprised that Watanuki Tatsuzo fell.

But after Watanuki Chenzo fell, Toru Amuro looked down and realized that there was another person lying on the ground.

Taking a closer look, it looks familiar... Amuro has always had a good memory, and he quickly recognized it - the one under his feet seemed to be one of the peripheral members responsible for assisting them this time, and was sent by the organization branch in Gunma Prefecture. On the list of victims, Toru Amuro had seen this person’s photo.

"..." Didn't the peripheral members attack Watanuki Chenzo's younger brother? But now... what is going on? Why are the peripheral members also lying on the ground? And it seemed that although this man kept his pants, his exposed skin also had traces of being beaten. It looked like he had been treated similarly to the little boss just now.

Toru Amuro was a little confused for a moment. Could it be that there was an undercover agent among the peripheral members? The "undercover" sent by Watanuki Tatsuzo at his feet was regarded by the peripheral members as Watanuki Tatsuzo's companion, and was brought down together?

As soon as this speculation emerged, Toru Amuro rationally dismissed it from his mind - it was unlikely.

Because, if there is really an undercover agent, the other peripheral members will at least talk to him, his temporary boss. After all, no matter which branch or level you are in, discovering an undercover agent is not a trivial matter. Undercover agents have all grown up from the seedling stage. It is absolutely necessary to tell your superiors about this kind of thing...

"There are people here too."

As Toru Amuro was thinking, he suddenly heard Jiang Xia's slightly surprised voice coming from behind him.

This young man with very keen observation skills has obviously noticed the situation on his side and has made new discoveries.

Amuro looked back at the sound, and before she could see clearly, she saw Jiang Xia turning to another bush that was the closest.

Jiang Xia carefully opened the branches and leaves, shined the light of his flashlight in, and his tone became solemn: "There are some here too."

As he spoke, he knelt down and touched them, and then made a sound that was either relieved or confused: "They are all still alive."

"..."

Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, walked to Jiang Xia's side, looked down at the newly discovered people by Jiang Xia, and briefly searched the area.

After a few minutes, he was sure - half of the people lying nearby were peripheral members of the organization, half were strangers, and most of them were Tatsuzo Watanuki's younger brothers.

Toru Amuro stared at the fallen members and counted the number in his mind. I feel like even peripheral members shouldn’t have so many undercover agents. Sure enough, it’s not a problem in this area…

In addition, there are no traces of group fights around here.

Compared to the grand scene where both sides were on fire, the current scene looked more like some insidious predator had quietly appeared and knocked down the group of people one by one, like a single strike in the darkness. A venomous snake hunting quietly. Wait, so to speak, their mission...

Amuro Toru's expression changed slightly, and the flashlight light was fired near the peripheral members. Soon, he found something that was incompatible with the dead leaves - it was equipment that had been disassembled but had not yet been installed. As the light beam shone upward, a dark cold light flowed on the surface of the equipment.

He walked closer and fiddled with it for a while, and found that the camera equipment was still there, but the recording equipment was gone.

After thinking for a moment, he walked back to the tree where the bones were buried and searched carefully. As the flashlight illuminated him, he saw a glimmer of light flashing on the branches above his head and in the thickest clump of branches and leaves.

Toru Amuro handed the flashlight to Jiang Xia and asked him to help with lighting. He climbed up and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was a recording equipment that was still running.
