Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 694

Chapter 694

As for the camera equipment, Jiang Xia picked it up to have a look at it, then threw it down again without installing it.He doesn't really want to be photographed, whether it's the vest or the body.Fortunately, neither the conference nor the organization is a law-abiding institution. It doesn't pay attention to the supremacy of physical evidence, and it doesn't like to leave no doubt.

It is enough to have recordings related to Watanuki Tatsuzo.

……

But now, Jiang Xia feels that since there are recording equipment hidden around, it means that the conversations between himself, Toru Amuro and Tatsumi Watanuki will be recorded and listened to again.

Those who listened to the recording did not know who they were.But one thing is for sure, the more people who know who their organization is, the more problems will arise.

Although "Jiang Xia is a peripheral member" is not known to many people like "Jiang Xia is Uzuo", it is best not to spread it too much.

So facing Mianjian Chensan who wanted to delay time, Jiang Xia thoughtfully cooperated with him.

Like a normal detective, he gives priority to revealing reasoning to the murderer at a critical moment, and the flow of time seems to slow down:

"Of course not surprised. Because the deceased has actually left your name in his pocketbook.

"He always writes his name as 'ホヅミ', because according to the normal habit, many people can't read that surname if it is written in Chinese characters-the list of staff that the police asked for from the crew of "Winter Maple Red" actually does not exist. Error. 'August [-]st' is not a date mixed in, but the name of the deceased. His surname is 'August [-]st' and his given name is 'One'.

"Surnames with the pronunciation of 'ホヅミ' are usually written as 'Hoji'. But in the past, August [-]st was often the season for harvesting rice, so there are also surnames with the rare spelling of 'August [-]st'.

"Similarly, there is the surname 'April 4st'. In April, when the weather gets warmer, people will take out the cotton in their clothes... Yes, this surname is pronounced the same as your 'Mianguan' ...that's why Mr. August 1st left a bloodstain on 'April [-]st' before he died.

"Ordinary people may not understand these pronunciations. But with a rare surname like Mr. August [-]st, it is inevitable that they will be interested in similar people and know the relevant pronunciation. When you kill him, is it because he broke some secret that cannot be revealed, such as ...this pile of bones under our feet?"

Sweat trickled down Mian Guanchen's forehead.Although he had long planned to silence the two people who had seen the bones in front of him, but like now, it feels very bad to have his thoughts and mistakes being dissected and analyzed by words.

The killing intent in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, but he was suffering from not knowing where the helper was, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

At this moment, Mian Guanchen's third ear moved slightly, and found someone approaching.

He pretended to wipe his sweat, turned his head slightly, and saw a burly figure—under the moonlight, he could see a string of fluorite pendants around his neck, faintly reflecting white light.

Mianguan Chensan was overjoyed, this was an accessory for one of his little bosses, and he was very impressed because of the bright colors.Since the leader of the nearby group came over, he must be followed by other younger brothers.The way I raised my voice to summon my subordinates just now really worked!

When a helper came, Mianguan Chensan immediately straightened his back.

The smile on the corner of his mouth became serious again: "Little detective, you are indeed very perceptive, but unfortunately, the post-death message of 'April [-]st' cannot be used as evidence at all, because it may just be that guy who just grabbed his hand before he died. Debt——I only told you your reasoning until now, because you knew this in your heart, so you had to fish me out first?"

Jiang Xia didn't speak.

Mianguan Chensan felt that this young man was overwhelmed by his own aura, and his speech became smoother immediately, and he applauded in a dignified manner: "It's a good plan, and the bait you released is also attractive enough. It's a pity that before fishing, you should carefully weigh your own weight - can your thin fishing rod afford a shark like me?"

He sneered: "It's a pity that you are a very talented young man, but you saw something you shouldn't see—hehe, do you know why I didn't dispose of that corpse earlier?"

As soon as the words fell, the young detective on the opposite side had a tone of "what's the problem?": "Because you are getting old and your memory is fading, and you forgot where it was buried."

"..." Mian Guanchen's forehead twitched.The "corpse" he mentioned obviously refers to the unlucky "August [-]st", but what Jiang Xia was talking about was the bone buried five years ago.

... Forgetting his position is indeed his huge mistake; his power is getting stronger but he is too old, and it is indeed a scar in Mianguan Chensan's heart.However, when he glanced at Jiang Xia coldly, he met Jiang Xia's peaceful and serious expression.Mianguan Chenzo was slightly taken aback, and for a moment it was difficult to determine whether the young man who spoke badly was doing it on purpose, or if he was too concerned about the bones under his feet, so that he really confused the two.

Hmph, but it doesn't matter, it's a death anyway.

Mianguan Chenzo pretended not to hear the dismantling words just now, maintained his indifference, and asked and answered his own questions: "It's because there are some things that are only convenient to do after dark. And I haven't done physical work for a long time, It’s not easy to do it yourself, so I recruited my subordinates to help me with these boring tasks—"

As he said that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "I'm afraid their actions later will be very rough, because you have increased the workload for them to deal with the corpses. Too much curiosity is not a good thing, it's a pity that you We can only bring this point of knowledge into heaven.”

Having said that, no matter how you look at it, at this time, from behind the trees, bushes, in the shadows of the night, etc., the thousands of troops summoned by Mianuki Tatsuzo should flash out.

In the corner of Mianguan Chenzo's vision, the fluorite light that symbolized the helper was indeed approaching.

The bushes were pushed away with a clatter, and the little boss, who was burly and powerful, strode out.

Amuro looked at him, stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step back, looking a little shocked.

Jiang Xia was taken aback, and then took a step back, allowing her reaction to be in sync with that of a normal person.

In the next second, the little boss who appeared on the stage gave a soft leg and fell down at Mian Guanchensan's feet, making the old man tremble in shock.

The little boss raised his head with difficulty, revealing a face covered with bruises. His face was slightly swollen, and his voice was crying blood: "Boss, run away! We...we have encountered a pervert..."

After conveying this crucial message, his hands slapped down, and his raised head lowered, like a tragic hero who has finally completed his mission.

... If it wasn't for him not wearing pants, the scene might have been even more tragic.

"..."

The three of them looked at the loyal little brother who had fallen to the ground. No one spoke for a moment, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
