Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia quickly stopped moving.

But it's obviously too late.

——He turned his head as if nothing had happened, and saw Conan's expression next to him had indeed become very complicated.

From Conan's point of view, Fa Xiao's subconscious reaction at least showed one thing - Amuro Toru was indeed the kind of scumbag who would throw bugs around and even throw them at employees. Only in this way can we explain why when the topic of "eavesdropping devices" was mentioned just now, Jiang Xia's first reaction was to look for it on his body instead of "Haha, how is that possible? The boss is not that kind of person."

"..."

Thinking of this, Conan didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

At least this time, Jiang Xia seems to have discovered something wrong with Toru Amuro... It seems that he is not completely incapable of distinguishing scum, but he discovered it a little late.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Of course, the scum will first deliberately approach the genius. Although the purpose is not pure, the passionate intention of getting close is obviously true, because Jiang Xia will be useful to them.

Then when necessary, the scum will reveal their insidious true colors and use Jiang Xia to achieve some unspeakable purpose... When that time comes, Jiang Xia will want to do what he was originally supposed to do, "bring the scum to justice." This kind of thing will become as difficult as killing a relative for the sake of justice.

Conan hesitated, unable to pretend to be ignorant.

He couldn't help but ask: "What are you busy with when you go out this time? - For some people, stepping back from the cliff is the wisest decision. Allowing them to break the law will harm them."

Jiang Xia: "..." He didn't seem to say anything before the pots flew over one by one and piled on the boss.

…Fortunately, it’s not a big deal.

Although Conan is an all-rounder who graduated from the special training class in Hawaii, as a primary school student, he has no right to arrest people. Even if he hooks up with the FBI in the future, this place will still be the territory of the island police for the time being.

In short, in the eyes of red parties like Conan, no matter how much blame is placed on the boss, the police can find various reasons not to arrest him, not to mention that Amuro Toru will never leave any evidence for arrest.

Thinking that the boss is a heavy-bearing king who can carry countless heavy pots on his shoulders and will never fall, Jiang Xia's guilt suddenly disappeared.

So when faced with Conan's question, he hesitated for a while: "I have a commission."

Then when Conan's eyes were fixed and he wanted to break the casserole and ask the end, he sighed and cut off the other party's words: "Don't ask." It was accompanied by a deep head-touch, like a mature adult who is burdened with countless pressures. To the child who asked ignorantly, "I don't want to say."

Conan: "..."

... He really likes to ask questions, and he is good at it. He can always get to the point accurately, until he asks for the truth, or someone interrupts, or until the other person can't stand the entanglement and wants to attack him.

But no matter what the situation was, those who he asked basically answered in cold sweats until they reached the limit... But now, Jiang Xia suddenly asked him very clearly not to ask.

Conan fell into deep thought for a moment.

... Very few people asked him "don't ask". Conan actually still wanted to ask, but the sense of morality that a good detective should have made it hard for him to refuse.

After a little effort, the topic has already gone astray.

"We almost have to go back." Jiang Xia took out her phone, pressed it and looked at the date, then turned to Conan, "Since you have finished reading Maple Leaf, do you want to go along with us?"

While talking, Jiang Xia was secretly thinking: Although the mission is over, the incident should not be over yet. On the way back, we not only have to pass through half of Gunma Prefecture, but also pass through Saitama Prefecture before finally arriving in Tokyo. Along the way, the boss may have had a flat tire or two...

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xia stood up, temporarily leaving Conan who was thinking deeply behind, and walked to Amuro Toru's room expectantly. It is the maple leaf season here, and there are many guests staying overnight. Their rooms are not next to each other, but separated by some distance.

…

Then when I got to the place, I found a trolley in the corridor and the cleaner was cleaning the room.

Jiang Xia initially thought that this might be just routine cleaning.

But when I peeked in, all the luggage was gone.

"...?"

...where are the people?

There was so much luggage, and even if some of it was secret, Toru Amuro wouldn't be able to carry it with him while having breakfast or taking a walk. At most, the confidential part will be taken out and carried with it.

But now...no, nothing.

Could it be...

Jiang Xia gradually had a bad feeling in her heart.

Following behind, Conan, who was wary of the onlookers, was also stunned.

Jiang Xia looked at the empty room for a while, then turned to the cleaner who had noticed him.

Looking at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia hesitated and said: "That person who lives here..."

The cleaner recalled the record on the dispatch sheet: "That gentleman has already checked out."

Jiang Xia: "?"

Conan: "??"

Conan was confused for a moment and looked up at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia's surprise was very real and she seemed completely unaware of it.

And for some reason, Conan found that after his neighbor was stunned, his eyes fell to the air next to him. He seemed to be distracted, but Conan couldn't be sure whether it was his illusion - he always felt that Jiang Xia The focus of his eyes when he was in a daze was not the potted plants in the corner, but more like they were hovering in mid-air.

"..." Although he didn't know what happened, this somewhat strange situation still made Conan alert.

He reached out and tugged on Jiang Xia's clothes: "Are you okay?"

"……fine."

Jiang Xia looked away from the strange landing point and looked much more normal. Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked in that direction again, but saw nothing. In the end, I had to think that the dust was stirred up by the cleaners while cleaning, and Jiang Xia was looking at them.

When Conan looked at the air and observed suspiciously.

Next to him, Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and went downstairs, passing through the corridor and ancient stairs, all the way to the front desk.

…

"Are you talking about the gentleman with a Japanese name who looks like a foreigner?"

It's a bit early, and the front desk hasn't started working yet. Among the people on duty right now, there happens to be a front desk person who helps Toru Amuro with the procedures in the middle of the night.

She obviously still had an impression of Toru Amuro: "That gentleman checked out early in the morning and left overnight. He said he had something urgent... By the way, you are Jiang Xia."

The front desk had to endure it for a long time, but still couldn't help but turn into starry eyes as he spoke - looking at Jiang Xia up close, it was a different feeling compared to watching it on TV... I almost wanted to reach out and pinch it to see if it was real. Yes, but as a hotel employee, that seems too rude.
