The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 549: Bourbon he paid too much(?????)
Half a minute later.
Bang——
With the sound of a tire bursting, the body shook suddenly.
Then was quickly stabilized by Amuroto, slowly leaning towards the side of the road, and finally stopped.
Jiang Xia, who seemed to be asleep, was jerked by the shaking vehicle and woke up clutching the seat belt.
He was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and then said helplessly: "Did a tire blow out in the woods again?"
Amuro: "..."
...Why do you blame him for this, he is clearly just a victim of the incident.
After a moment of silence, Amuro decided not to worry about the people who didn't wake up, and dealt with the business first: "This area is not often passed by, and there are some gravel on the road, which can easily puncture the tire... Put on the spare tire first. ."
Jiang Xia nodded and got out of the car with him.
……
Before opening the trunk, Toru Amuro circled the car for half a circle and found the blown tire.
A closer look shows that there is a deep scratch on the oblique side, which looks like it has hit something sharp and was pierced miserably.
Amuro took a flashlight to observe. I don't know if it was because he was overly cautious, but he always felt that this scratch was too flat. Compared to a stone, it was more like a scratch with something else... But maybe there is a stone with very neat sharp parts.
He stares for a moment, temporarily jotting down the doubt.
Then stands up and walks to the trunk.
After thinking about it all the way, I finally encountered a flat tire. For some reason, compared to the irritability, at this time, Anshi felt a sense of solidity that the huge stone finally fell to the ground.
...Although I don't want to admit it, in fact, he already had this level of consciousness when he decided to come out with Jiang Xia.
Speaking of which, compared to the "tire blowout as soon as I arrived in the suburbs" when I took Conan with me, now that I've been alone with Jiang Xia for so many days, only one tire blows out... it's gratifying enough.
Jiang Xia's physique with a flat tire doesn't seem to be as strong as he thought. Does the problem really lie with those little boys who grew up in a strange direction?
Amuro Toru opened the trunk lid while thinking.
Then discovered that the spare tire was also punctured.
He lowered his eyes and watched the scene calmly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Then, while Jiang Xia was still looking at the broken tire on the side of the car.
Amuro took the opportunity to glance at the phone.
——How could he be completely unprepared since he had thought in advance that he might have a puncture.
In addition to letting subordinates carry spare tires, ready to pretend to be "passers-by" to provide support, and wait for the opportunity to capture tire vandals,
Amuro also got an infrared night vision camera and hid it in the trunk under the cover of debris.
It's time to put this ready to use, let him see what's in the car when the spare tire is broken...
Amuro opened the mailbox and found that a new email appeared in the mailbox.
From the subordinate responsible for viewing the camera.
With a flick of his finger, he clicked to view it.
As soon as I saw the "I'm sorry" at the beginning, my heart skipped a beat.
...a bad premonition increases.
Further down, you can see that this email contains a compressed video attachment, which is a key part of the subordinates deliberately intercepted.
Amuro turned the phone to silent and pressed play.
On the screen, in the silence, the camera is facing the spare tire in the trunk, quietly shooting.
This harmonious picture did not last long.
After a second or two, the camera suddenly wobbled—not a slight shake caused by the vehicle, but a sudden move forward a certain distance, as if something was taking up space behind it, pushing the camera forward.
Following, just half a second later, the screen suddenly went black.
—The camera was first broken.
Amuro: "..."
The veins on his forehead jumped, and the mobile phone in his hand made a screeching sound, bouncing on the shattered edge.
Amuro was silent for a while, remembering that he was in the outskirts now, with a member of the organization by his side, and even if the subordinates were not far behind, it would be inconvenient to change the mobile phone... In the end, he took a breath and let go of his hand.
He looks up at the junk pile next to the spare tire.
He felt just now that there was a slight difference from before, but he thought it was caused by the body shaking.
...But now it seems that some kind of creature destroyed the camera hidden in the junk pile, then broke the tire, and restored the junk pile to its original shape.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro reached in and rummaged.
A shattered camera equipment was quickly retrieved, looking even more miserable than a punctured tire and a punctured spare tire.
At this time, Jiang Xia seemed to be alarmed by the sound of clattering, and left the tires on the side of the car and came to the trunk.
Before he arrived, Amuro quietly hid the body of the camera.
Jiang Xia glanced into the trunk with the help of An Shitou's flashlight.
After seeing the spare tire, he was slightly startled and said in surprise: "Claw marks? Boss, in your car..."
"No mice."
Amuro retorted conditionedly.
Following, remembering that mice don't have such strong claws, he added: "There's nothing else that could bite a tire."
Besides, Xiaobai raised his hand, hooked it into a paw, and waved it like a water.
Amuro couldn't see it, but Akemi Miyano and her parents gave it a round of applause.
Jinping Matsuda, who is lying on Jiang Xia's shoulders, has a short entry time~IndoMTL.com~ The thickness of his face needs to be strengthened. It looked at Jiang Xia, and then looked at the side with a calm face, but slightly flickering eyes. It seemed to be doubting the life of An Shitou, and with a guilty conscience, it moved away from the victim and moved to the other side of Jiang Xia.
……
When Jiang Xia checked the tires in the trunk.
Amuro picked up the phone and flipped through the inbox again.
It is found that there is no other information in it except for the monitoring section just now.
...In other words, the subordinates who followed behind did not see suspicious creatures following them. Otherwise, he must have sent a message to him when he discovered the signs.
But the fog is so thick today, and the trees in this forest are so dense that even if something really catches up, my subordinates may not be able to find it.
……
Thinking that the hope of catching the enemy with the infrared camera was in vain, at this time, Amuro still had a hint of disappointment in his heart.
After calming down a bit, he was alert to the thick fog around him as he looked at the tragically handicapped tires in the trunk.
——If you fail to take shortcuts, then try it through normal reasoning channels, it is better than nothing.
This time, the strangest thing is that, as Jiang Xia said, the tires are not bite marks, but more like marks from being scratched by something.
…The claws of beasts?
However, a tire of this thickness can be scratched with a single blow... The size of this beast is probably so large that it can fill the entire trunk.
But judging from the short video footage just now, the creature that suddenly appeared doesn't seem to be that big.
