Chapter 656 What Did You Do At Night?Ask for monthly pass o(〃'▽'〃)o

Mao Lilan wondered, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Mori Kogoro blankly pointed at the door.

Mao Lilan turned her head to look over, and saw a living Jiang Xia standing in the corridor——Jiang Xia was not wearing his usual black clothes, but a sunny light color.The style happened to be the style that Mao Lilan went shopping a while ago, saw it by chance, and wanted to bring it back for Jiang Xia to try, but felt that Jiang Xia would definitely not wear it.

"Haha, it's a dream. This suit really suits him very well. High school students should dress more energetically..." Mao Lilan muttered, her voice getting quieter.

Finally, with a bang, he lay down again.

Mori Kogoro was startled when he heard the movement, turned around and found that his daughter who had just woken up had fainted again: "Lan!!"

Then he hurriedly continued to pinch people.

……

At the door, Conan glanced at Yamamura who had fainted.

As a high school student detective who used to hang out with the police, Conan was used to the police's usual shackles, but he didn't expect that the police station in Gunma County would lose the shackles so badly... Such a person can actually lead the team, No wonder there are so many suicide shrines in Gunma County.

He secretly slandered in his heart, ignored the strange policeman, and ran to Mao Lilan to check the situation.

Feeling that there is nothing wrong with it, Conan slipped next to Jiang Xia with a low sense of presence, and secretly pulled Jiang Xia away from Amuro Toru.

Then he pulled his sleeves, and after Jiang Xia squatted down skillfully, he asked in a low voice: "Who is that person in the room? This is indeed your room, right. Where were you just now?"

...Thinking about what the first person who discovered it just now said, since she came here with a clear purpose to "encounter" Jiang Xia, it is unlikely that she went to the wrong room.

In other words, the room No. 207 where someone hanged himself should indeed be Jiang Xia's room.

But just now, Jiang Xia appeared here as a crowd of onlookers after the commotion had passed...

"I haven't seen him."

Jiang Xia looked at Conan.I haven't seen this neighbor who has an incident physique for several days. When I see him suddenly at this moment, there is always a sense of anticipation that I will encounter the case again soon... The good impression brought by the bundle of "Conan" and "case" has always made me feel better. Jiang Xia is very patient with Kudou who likes to ask a long list of questions when asking questions.

After briefly answering the first question, Jiang Xia lowered her voice:

"As for the room, I was in room 207 at the beginning, but... um..." He hesitated, as if he was struggling with some things to say, but he finally confused the topic, and continued, "But this room It didn't fit well, so last night, I ran to my boss."

"Not suitable?" Conan quickly grasped the doubt, "Then why don't you change the room? The hotel also has people on duty at night, and it happens to be the off-season for tourism, so there should be many vacant rooms here."

"...Indeed, but it doesn't feel so good." Jiang Xia thought about her identity as a worker, and felt that before she knew who the person who installed the camera was on the surface, it would be best for her to keep everything secret here and let Amuro reveal the situation. It is up to the leadership to decide how much to reveal.

So he made up an excuse so that he could cope with Conan's questioning, and it would also be convenient for him to lose the pot later: "It's late at night, the front desk staff should be sleepy, that would be too disturbing."

Conan: "...?"

... Wouldn't it be more disturbing to go to the boss?

However, Jiang Xia subconsciously made such an excuse... Could it be that the incident of "suddenly making the room uninhabitable" was related to Toru Amuro, and it was more suitable for Toru Amuro to deal with it?Then that incident was directly or indirectly related to a murder...

Thinking about it, Conan's eyes gradually became sharper.

But compared to Jiang Xia, he looked more at Toru Amuro.

——During this trip, Jiang Xia didn't have a mobile phone throughout the trip, and didn't know the itinerary and destination.No matter how you look at it, it was Toru Amuro, the suspicious boss of the detective agency, who led the trip.

And Conan remembered that a few minutes ago, when they were downstairs, they ran into Amuro Toru who was going to the restaurant alone.

At that time, he asked Toru Amuro, "Where is Jiang Xia?" Toru Amuro said, "I don't know, maybe he's still in the room, or maybe in the restaurant." Just came out of Amuro Toru's house, it's impossible that the owner of Amuro Toru didn't know about Jiang Xia's whereabouts... Why did Boss Amuro hide this matter?What is his conspiracy?

Conan looked at the body of "Jiang Xia" who had been put down in the room, and felt as if a cloud full of mysteries was hanging above his head, and a black hand was slowly stretching out from it, playing with it with a sly smile.

...A stranger was suddenly killed in Jiang Xia's room by an unknown person.Jiang Xia, who was supposed to be in the room, left for other reasons.In addition, the most thought-provoking thing is that the body shape of the deceased is very similar to Jiang Xia, and even his face is somewhat similar.Such a person, paired with the black clothes that Jiang Xia often wears, appears in the dimly lit night.

…Speaking of this, he always felt that something was weird.

Conan recovered from his thoughts and looked at Jiang Xia again: "That, your clothes."

Jiang Xia: "Huh?"

Conan asked: "Why do you only wear this kind of clothes all the way? Didn't you like black more before?"

Jiang Xia was taken aback, as if she had gotten used to this outfit along the way, and only noticed her abnormality when she was asked about it.He looked down at himself:

"I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't have time to pack my luggage. Only the suit I was wearing at the time was black. Later, in the Twilight Annex... in a case in Tottori Prefecture, the car and luggage were blown up, so I had to buy something else to wear."

"Is that so." The more Conan listened, the more he felt that there was a problem, and he confirmed, "Did you choose the clothes yourself?"

"No." Jiang Xia shook his head, "The schedule is too busy, the boss ordered it directly from the store..."

Halfway through the conversation, he looked down at his clothes, and then at the black clothes of the corpse.As if thinking of something suddenly, he suddenly fell silent.

At the same time, Jiang Xia secretly decided to keep silent until the matter was over.

If you lie, you have to work hard later.It's better to tell the truth, and then leave the rest of the mess to the boss to clean up.It just so happens that the boss is not afraid of being caught, he seems to be quite free recently...

Beside, Toru Amuro suddenly sneezed.

Conan looked up vigilantly, his thoughts turned, and he quickly thought of the storm last night.

... This boss looks quite healthy, why did he suddenly sneeze?

Could it be that he did something shameful last night and got caught in the rain—for example, he used some excuses to trick Jiang Xia out of the original Room 207, and then slipped to Room 207 by himself at night, killed someone, and went out again. I went for a walk outside for a certain purpose...
