The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 497: Detective habit observation


  Chapter 497 Observation of Detective Habits

  Conan heard the topic of "human heads", and finally realized that Mao Lilan was afraid.

   He smiled dryly and comforted: "It may just be that the food was in the bag and forgot to take it out, and it was accidentally broken, and they couldn't litter the mountain, so they had to put it in the bag and cover it - wait. Let's take a sneak peek at the rest stop whenever we can."

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

   "...Really?" Maurilan was skeptical.

  Jiang Xia nodded, echoing the statement that "food is spoiled".

   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 a chance to scare these two people, can I scare extra murderousness?

   Or wait until the rest stop, learn Conan to say "It's weird", get close to their bags, and find another opportunity to be alone and show their backs?

   There was a sudden cold behind the couple who were resting. The two raised their heads vigilantly and looked at Jiang Xia following their intuition.

   However, he saw that the young detective had already looked away and was taking a leisurely drink of water to rest.

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

   As soon as they left, there was no one else around, Jiang Xia and others became the last group of passengers to go up the mountain.

  The client looked left and right, but didn't find any "Silver Fox" hiding around, so he also stood up: "Let's go, it's getting cloudy, it might rain, so we have to go to the rest stop 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's ears moved, and they rushed over immediately.

  Jiang Xia followed seamlessly—the "Observation Notes on Detective Habits" in his heart was no longer thinner than "Observation Notes on Jiang Xia" by Haibara Ai, and he had already roughly figured out the action pattern that a detective should have.

   A group of people ran to the sound, walked through the dense forest, and saw Hucang Yuezi, the novelist who had just come to talk to Jiang Xia, was sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bottom of the cliff in surprise.

  "What happened?"

  As Jiang Xia asked, he had already run to the edge of the cliff.

   Just below, on the outcropping rock seven or eight meters away, there is a person lying quietly.

  ——is the enthusiastic male college student who is said to often come to climb mountains.

  …

   From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff, there is a sloping winding path.

   A group of people descended to the rock outcropping.

  Jiang Xia walked to the male college student, squatted down and touched him, a little surprised: "...he is still alive."

   This classmate has a very iron head... Maybe when he fell, he brushed off the path and vegetation on the cliff, giving him some buffer.

   Conan and Toru Amuro couldn't hide their surprise.

  —they heard the screams and saw someone lying motionless on their backs at the bottom of the cliff, and instinctively began to look for the murderer.

   Hearing that the person was still alive at this time, he slowly regained his senses and began to try to give first aid to him.

   Of course, the detectives did not forget to simply observe during the first aid.

   There is a narrow scar on the face of the male college student. It doesn't look like a scratch when he fell, but was cut open by something sharp.

  In addition, a small knife was stuck in a tree a few meters away.

  ——He didn't seem to have fallen and fell, but he fell down accidentally when he was dodging something like a flying knife.

   Flying Knife...

  Silver Fox? !

   The client quickly came to the same conclusion.

   The screams of the male college students when they fell off the cliff just now attracted not only them, but also several other tourists. At this time, a group of people were gathered around and looked around.

  Although the couple was the most sneaky, they left late and did not have enough time to commit the crime.

  The only thing left is...

   The client looked at Hucang Etsuko who was contemplating Jiang Xia, and grabbed him: "Did you do it!"

  —— just now Conan told Jiang Xia that "Tokura Etsuko is also suspicious". Jiang Xia didn't care too much, but the client eavesdropped on it.

  Tokura Etsuko was pulled like this, and she recovered from her thoughts.

   She patted the client's hand away, and slowly adjusted her scarf and neckline: "When I heard the shouts running, things had already become like this. And from the appearance of the injured, he Like being attacked by a sharp weapon, I wouldn't use those things - besides, since he's still alive, won't it be clear when he wakes up and asks about the situation?"

   The client snorted coldly and let go of his hand: "...with such a ruthless attack, who knows if he will still wake up."

   A thunderous thunder fell.

   A few lightning bolts flashed across the gloomy sky with dark clouds piled up, and raindrops fell along with them, and the water droplets hit the ground.

   Today's weather forecast is really inaccurate. It was a cloudy day, but it suddenly rained, and it was getting heavier.

  Jiang Xia took out his phone and looked at it: "No signal."

  Maolilan nodded disappointedly.

   As early as when she saw a person lying under the cliff, she had already called the police. At this time, when she moved to the bottom of the cliff, she reluctantly called the ambulance, but it was still unsuccessful.

  …

   After completing the simple first aid, Jiang Xia put down his phone, looked at the male college student who fell to the ground, and sighed.

  ...Although I want to pick up ghosts, I can't do anything about the fateful Emperor Ou. He could never pull people to the top of the cliff and push them down again.

   He took off his waterproof hat and slapped the big male college student on the face to shield him from the rain.

   didn't want to continue to get wet, so he suggested: "It's not good for the wound to get wet, and if we continue to stay in the mountains, we will also be in danger. Let's go to the rest stop first."

  …

   ten minutes later.

   Before it got completely dark, a group of drenched people finally came to the nearest rest stop.

   said it was a rest stop, but it was actually just an old house.

  Jiang Xia raised his hand and knocked twice on the door~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing that the door was unlocked, he simply pushed the door open.

   creaks. As the door rang, in the dim light, the white-haired grandfather in front of the stove turned around and looked at the door.

  The old man has thick beard and hair, and his eyes are fierce. He stared at the people who entered the door, and it happened that a thunder and lightning struck outside the window. His whole person was terrifying as if he had just stepped down from the family tree of cannibals.

  Maolilan's whole body jolted, and he assumed a defensive posture.

   Jiang Xia silently pressed down her hand in front of him.

  Amuro glanced at the old man's uniform and whispered, "It should be the manager here."

  The hut manager looked at them for a while with disgust, and threw a few towels of average quality: "Dry and come in."

  "..." This tone should really be a manager, not a monster that haunts thunderstorms...

   Not only Maorilan, but several other timid travelers also breathed a sigh of relief.

   A group of people carried the stunned male college student into the house and found some bandages and disinfectant for temporary emergency.
