Conan's Corpse Picker

However, the expression of the couple was tense, and they would be alert to the slightest disturbance, which looked very suspicious no matter how they looked.

Mao Lilan, who is full of "catching killers", is inevitably a little excited.

She glanced back, approached Jiang Xia and whispered:

"Speaking of which, many girls like to use cute code names like 'Silver Fox'. And Mr. Amuro said that the gender of Silver Fox is still unclear-maybe this is actually because Silver Fox has two people. Sometimes It is a man who commits the crime, sometimes it is a woman, that's why there are such rumors?"

... quite reasonable.

Jiang Xia nodded patiently and echoed: "Yeah, that makes sense. Watch them more later."

...Although he remembered that the couple behind him was not Silver Fox, compared with the perfunctory Conan just now, Jiang Xia's words of "observing more" this time seemed much more sincere.

In the gap between his words, he even looked back.His eyes paused for a moment on the couple's calves.

The couple behind them sensed the sight and stared keenly.Then he hurriedly lowered his head and hurried on his way.

As a result, even Toru Amuro and Conan gradually focused their attention on the two people behind them—the looks of the lovers looked very strange.

……

After walking the relatively flat road at the foot of the mountain, the road in the middle suddenly became steep.

——On the steep cliff, some large rocks protrude like steps, spiraling upward along the cliff body, this is the way to go next.

A row of hemp ropes are nailed to the mountain so that tourists can grab them and climb.

...This seems to be an excellent location for an assassination.

Chapter 496 The old classmate is really a good person

The enthusiastic male college student seems to be very good at climbing, always walking in the front.

When he came to the cliff section, he looked back at Jiang Xia and his party from a distance, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to slow down.

When the tourists behind approached, he stood on the protruding stone, stretched out his hand towards Mao Lilan, and said enthusiastically like a coach:

"Pay attention to your strength when climbing, you are novices, you can pull these ropes up. Of course, you can also hold my hand..."

As soon as the words fell, a hand was raised and rested on his.

...Everything develops as the male college student wishes.

Only the person who made this action was slightly different from the picture he was looking forward to.

——It wasn't the cheerful and lovely female high school student who pulled him, but the person next to her who covered his face with a mask and a hat, but whose figure was definitely "male".

Male college student: "..."

Before the enthusiastic person could react, Jiang Xia grabbed his arm and flipped over the rock lightly.

Under the stone, Conan pushed the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose in relief, and let go of his hand that kept poking Jiang Xia's calf, and a reflection flashed through the mirror.

Mao Lilan didn't notice Conan's little trick.

She looked at the height of the stone, stepped on a narrow bump on the side with her toes, and jumped up easily, at a speed not much slower than going up ordinary steps.

The male college student looked at this scene with a froze smile.

This is not the same as the "bringing newcomers" script he imagined...

Amuro Toru didn't climb up immediately, he glanced down at Conan and observed the strange child.

Conan raised his head and stretched out his hand towards Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, I don't want strangers to pull me. What if he is a bad person and pretends to be slippery in the middle of the pull? It's always played like that on TV."

Toru Amuro: "..."

The client, Chao Wenzao, was taken aback, and also realized the danger of asking someone to pull him.He looked at the male college student who seemed to have ulterior motives, snorted coldly, ignored him, but grabbed the climbing rope next to him and climbed up.

With a soft bang, the moment he exerted force, the thick hemp rope suddenly snapped.

Chao Wenzao lost his balance, his feet slipped on the edge of a relatively smooth rock, and he fell to the side of the cliff with a scream.

Jiang Xia looked down and saw it, and quickly stepped forward, holding him down.Chaowen made a risk and hung on the edge of the cliff.He was dazed for a moment, then hurriedly climbed up the stone.

Toru Amuro was also taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.

He thought of the characteristics of the "left-handed" silver fox, and then thought about the suggestion of "pull the rope to climb up" put forward by this left-handed college student, his eyes became sharp in an instant.

The male college student shivered in shock from his scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis that the other party wanted to push him down immediately and send him somewhere. He stammered and explained: "I, I don't know how this happened. thing……"

Jiang Xia let go of Chao Wenzao who had already stood still, jumped back under the rock, picked up the broken hemp rope, and took a look.

Then he patted Amuro Toru, handed over the rope, and whispered, "It might just be an accident."

While the boss was concentrating on checking the hemp rope, Jiang Xia secretly withdrew the hand that patted him just now.

... There was a murderous smell of coffee in his hand.

I didn't expect that the thrilling scene just now would bring such a harvest.Does the boss have a little prejudice against lefties?In this way, it is true that Akai Shuichi and Gin are both left-handed... It may be the key words "left-handed" + "killing", which made some associations with Toru Amuro just now.

While thinking about the reason for the murderous aura, Jiang Xia took advantage of the chaos in the scene to secretly put away the unusually rare coffee-flavored aura.

And couldn't help but look at Toru Amuro again, wanting to see if he missed anything.

Matsuda Jinhei also stared at Toru Amuro, his eyes lighted up slightly: I didn't expect my old classmate to have a high-end murderous look... Although it still prefers the smell of alcohol, the coffee is also very good, no matter what, it is much better than that disinfectant .

There will be a sudden murderous look, maybe the old classmate thought that the killer had made a move in front of him, so there was a corresponding mood swing... Hey, he is still so jealous.Matsuda Jinping was a little emotional.

While Matsuda Jinpei was secretly observing Toru Amuro, Jiang Xia was also secretly observing this new ghost with active thinking, hesitating to speak.

Finally swallowed the words silently.

Toru Amuro, the vest man, is too complicated to explain.Let Matsuda Jinpei take a look at it by himself in the future...

……

Amuro Toru did not drop any more murderous aura.

——He checked the hemp rope used as a handrail, and soon found that the break of the rope was not smooth, and there was no smell of caustic medicine.Coupled with the old state of the entire length of rope, this looks more like natural aging.

The client seems to be just unlucky... Is this left-handed guy really not a killer?

The client, Chao Wenzao, didn't think so.

He gathered himself together, grabbed the male college student by the collar, and shouted angrily: "You really are the silver fox!"

The male college student was startled, and hastily denied it.

The sudden break of the rope, the gloomy gaze of Toru Amuro, and the angry roar of the client after recovering, made other passengers faintly realize that something was wrong.

The mountaineering team that was originally gathered together gradually became wider, and a group of people gradually dispersed.

Only the couple still followed Jiang Xia and the others, and did not try to overtake them.The bags on the couple seemed to be particularly heavy, and the woman among them was weak and walked very slowly.

……

When there was still some distance from the rest point, the client couldn't walk anymore, and a group of people temporarily stopped to rest.

The couple stopped not too far away to get water from their bags.

When taking the water cup, they carefully blocked the bag, and quickly closed it after taking it.

Mao Lilan caught a glimpse of these movements, and asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "They don't seem to want us to see the bag. Could there be killer equipment hidden in it?"

A group of people were sitting just downwind of the couple.

As soon as the bag was opened and closed, the tip of Toru Amuro's nose moved suddenly, and said in a low voice, "There is a strange smell."

Conan also frowned at the same time: "There is some rancid smell."

Jiang Xia: "?"

He sniffed it, but couldn't smell anything.

So let the ghost float over and take a peek at the lovers' bags.

After confirming the answer, Jiang Xia echoed like a serious detective: "It's like bleeding for a while."

"Blood?!" Mao Lilan had goosebumps silently, and she turned her head to glance at the client—the silver fox's recognized assassination target.

Seeing that Chao Wenzao was sitting next to him drinking water and was not assassinated, the horror lessened.

"...What's in their bags?" Mao Lilan asked in a low voice, thinking of the countless thriller novels she had read before, "It can't be the head of the mission target."

"Probably not." Jiang Xia also whispered back to her, "No one would carry a human head with them to do tasks. And if it was a head, the smell should be stronger."

Chapter 497 Detective Habits Observation

When Conan heard the topic of "human head", he finally realized that Mao Lilan was afraid.

He comforted with a dry smile: "It may be that the food was put in the bag and forgot to take it out, and it was accidentally broken, and littering is not allowed on the mountain, so they had to put it in the bag and cover it——When they arrived at the rest stop, Let's take a sneak peek at it when we get a chance."

Although it is illegal to search other people's bags, he is only a 7-year-old kid on the surface, and he will not be sanctioned for this...

"...Really?" Mao Lilan was dubious.

Jiang Xia nodded, echoing the statement of "food spoilage".

At the same time, he stared at the fresh shikigami on the couple's legs, lost in thought.

...Idle is also idle, if I find an opportunity to scare these two people, can I scare them with extra murderous intent?

Or wait until the rest stop, imitate Conan and say "that's weird", get close to their bags, and then find a chance to get along alone and show them your back?

There was a sudden chill behind the couple who were resting, and the two raised their heads vigilantly, looking at Jiang Xia intuitively.

But he saw that the young detective had already looked away and was drinking water and resting leisurely.

The couple looked at each other. Although their legs were still sore, they still stood up firmly and walked quickly to the resting point.I always feel that if I continue to stay, something bad may happen.

As soon as they left, there were no other people around. Jiang Xia and the others became the last group of tourists to go up the mountain.

The client looked around, but didn't find any "Silver Fox" hiding around, so he also stood up: "Let's go, the sky is getting cloudy, it might rain, so we have to go to the rest station early."

A group of people set foot on the mountain road again.

……

After walking for a while, across the dense forest, a man's exclamation suddenly sounded.

"!?" Conan and Amuro moved their ears and rushed over immediately.

Jiang Xia followed up seamlessly—the "Detective Habits Observation Notes" in his mind was no thinner than Hui Yuanai's "Jiang Xia Observation Notes", and he had already roughly figured out the action patterns that detectives should have.
