The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 393: Experienced Haibara Ai (together
"!" The three children didn't dare to make a sound, but withdrew their hands in a hurry.
Jiang Xia stared at them silently for a while, then looked away faintly.
Of course he didn't beat the children, after all, the children didn't have murderous intentions... Let's keep an account first, and I'll have to slap them a few more cases in the future.
……
Besides, Yuan Shan and Ye, who stepped on the human skull, gradually recovered from their shock. She also followed Hattori Heiji to see corpses before, and her resistance was stronger than ordinary people. Now that she suddenly encountered a skeleton, she subconsciously looked at Hattori Heiji...but she didn't find it.
...Oh, he's still concentrating on investigating the case in the Spider Mansion.
Yuan Shan and Ye's frightened eyes instantly turned into half-moon eyes. For some reason, there were many grooves in their hearts and they wanted to vomit, but they felt that the scene was not suitable, and swallowed them silently.
In the end, her attention fell back to the present moment.
Fortunately, there is a reliable detective nearby.
Yuan Shan and Ye turned to Jiang Xia and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with these bones?"
Jiang Xia borrowed the ghost's vision, so even in the middle of the night, the vision is very clear.
He shook the flashlight meanly, and finally stopped the aperture somewhere, and said while observing:
"It should be a human bone, with lime sprinkled next to it - lime absorbs water and releases heat, which can accelerate the decay of the corpse and shorten the time for ossification."
That is, the human traces are heavy.
Rob asked subconsciously: "Murder?"
"Probably so." Jiang Xia wasn't interested in analyzing this while standing in the wilderness. He wanted to see the ghosts first.
After observing for a while, he walked to a flat stone with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters next to him: "It seems that there are signs of movement here..."
As he said, he crouched down and pushed the stone away.
I thought there would be things like scorpions, ants, scorpions, and the like.
But no... It may be that the seasons change irregularly, and the fragile bugs are difficult to adapt.
This made Jiang Xia feel a lot more at ease.
He first asked Rob to take a few pictures, then found the gloves he was carrying and picked up what was under the flat stone.
—A mottled ring and a squashed cigarette case. In addition, there were some cigarettes scattered around.
Jiang Xia opened the cigarette case and fell into his hand.
Six cigarettes fell into his palm through the gloves, two of which were torn from the middle, four long and two short.
...a very typical death message.
I don't know how the victims had an epiphany before they died. Thinking of this...
Hai Yuanai squatted next to Jiang Xia with a flashlight to help him illuminate.
Seeing the ring that Jiang Xia was holding in her hand, she was slightly startled - there were several letters engraved on the inside of the ring, ETSUKOtoASAO.
Etsuko to Aso
"This may be the pair of rings that Miss Nonomiya Etsuko gave to her fiancé, Mr. Asao Kono." Ai Haibara said in a low voice:
"Ms. Nonomiya is a resident of the hotel we were in. I heard that she came here with Mr. Kono a year ago. After the two had a big fight, Kono left the hotel alone, and then just disappeared.
"For the past year, Mr. Kono has not heard from him until last week, when he suddenly sent out several invitations, asking those who received them to come to the hotel here.
"Ms. Nonomiya came here immediately after receiving the letter, but she couldn't wait for someone..."
...And now, Yamashita has a white bone, and next to the bone is Kono Asao's ring.
In this way, about a year ago, Nonomiya Etsuko and others were gone.
Haihara sighed inwardly, and looked up at the starry sky for a while, feeling that she had encountered a sad story.
Then she turned to Jiang Xia and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call the police?"
If it were normal, she must have made the police call skillfully.
But now, Jiang Xia is also there. And Hui Yuanai always felt that Jiang Xia sometimes was not so innocent and not afraid of investigation... So she thought that things like calling the police should be restrained as much as possible, and asked Jiang Xia's opinion first.
Jiang Xia nodded.
Then hesitantly said, "But this place..."
Before finishing speaking, Yuan Shan and Ye's disappointed voices came: "No signal."
Jiang Xia looked up at her. I almost forgot, this is also a professional alarm user, and the hand speed of 110 is not weaker than that of Mao Lilan.
The mobile phone couldn't be used, and Haiyuan Ai quickly thought of another way: "I remember there was a landline in the hotel where we stayed."
But in the middle of the conversation, she stopped.
——In the hotel where she stayed, three people were invited by "an invitation letter sent by Kono".
But Kono is now dead, so someone else must have sent the invitation.
And now, Kono's bones are scattered in front of this famous observation point... as if someone deliberately arranged it like this, only to wait for the body to be found.
If the news of "there are dead people here" is brought back to the hotel step by step, no one knows whether it will follow the intention of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Haihara Ai hesitated for a while, but didn't say these speculations - with strangers, she had to maintain the image of a "six-year-old child".
And just now she mentioned Kono's invitation to Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia will definitely understand the hidden dangers without her needing to say it.
So Hai Yuanai jumped directly to the conclusion. She looked at Jiang Xia and said briefly, "Where did you guys come from? If it's not far, why don't you go to your place and borrow a phone to call the police..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the deep forest.
A strange male voice rang out, and the man asked hesitantly, "Call the police? Did something happen?"
Jiang Xia looked up and saw a middle-aged man with long cheeks and short curly hair holding a thick discus-like object in his hand.
Dr. Li seems to know him: "Mr. Tiantu?"
Speaking, the doctor remembered the strange corpse at his feet, and couldn't help but be suspicious: "What are you doing here?"
The owner of Tiantu is the owner of the hotel where Dr. A Li and his party stayed.
Concurrently engaged in telescope rental business.
He handed the lead in his hand and said honestly, "I just remembered that there was a pair of lead weights missing from the set of telescopes you borrowed. I forgot to put them back after I used them up last time."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to still care about what Haibara Ai said just now. He swept his eyes casually and quickly saw the skeleton on the ground.
The air froze for a moment.
The next second, the owner of Tiantu let out a scream, ran away, and rushed back to the hotel.
Jiang Xia looked at his back silently, feeling that his acting skills were a bit exaggerated.
But...
"Since it's been discovered, let's use the phone in the hotel to call the police." Jiang Xia said with a helpless expression and a little anticipation in his heart.
Yuan Shan and Ye nodded, not too daring to look at the skeletons on the ground, their heads full of "call the police".
Rob didn't expect to encounter another murder. In fact, he doesn't really want to deal with the police, but he is away from home now. If the police testify, the alibi at the Spider Mansion will look more solid. So he quickly nodded in agreement.
……
The group is on their way to the hotel.
A dozen kilometers away, in the Spider Mansion.
Heiji Hattori is chatting with Ryuji Takeda.
At this time, Takeda Yuzo hurriedly opened the door: "Did you see the big brother? He just said he would go to the studio to be a puppet, but I searched the house and couldn't find him."
"What?!"
Although an adult has just been missing for an hour or two, it's not a big problem.
But Heiji Hattori still had a bad feeling.
He followed the Takeda family to find a place, and suddenly thought of a place:
"Have you found the abandoned warehouse built on the Spider Temple?"
Yamu Takeda saw a hanged corpse there three or three years ago, and now he feels terrified when he mentions the warehouse, of course he didn't take the initiative to go there: "No, no."
"Go up and see!"
A group of people stepped on the dusty stairs and rushed to the door of the warehouse on the second floor.
The warehouse door is firmly locked.
Heiji Hattori turned the doorknob, feeling some kind of alarm bell in his head.
He immediately asked for an axe and smashed the door.
Several axes slashed, and the cracked wooden door creaked open.
A corpse hangs in the air before my eyes.
Shinichi Takeda hangs like a poor insect stuck in a spider's web in this dusty warehouse.
“…”
Heiji Hattori stared at the corpse, and his mind went blank for a moment. Takeda Shinichi just left the table for more than an hour. In such a short time... who killed him?
"Lord Spider, this, this is the same as the legend of Lord Spider..." Takeda Ryuji looked at his eldest brother's death and felt a chill in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his niece who was hanged here. **** daughter.
When it comes to niece, Takeda Ryuji thinks of the two people who went to the cemetery to worship Misa just now: "By the way, in the cemetery where Rob and the others are now, I heard that there are often spiders haunting!"
"?!" Hattori Heiji's face turned brown as he thought of Toyama Kazuha.
Although he doesn't believe that there is such a thing as "Master Spider" in the world, the death of Takeda Shinichi means that there is indeed a murderer who is using the name of Master Spider to kill.
And "Master Spider" is often in the cemetery, which may be equivalent to that the murderer also often haunts the cemetery!
This is too dangerous!
Heiji Hattori thinks he should be frightened at this point, since his comrades are in the cemetery right now.
But in fact, when it comes to "dangerous", I think of Jiang Xia who went with me...
The connection of these two words made Hattori Heiji's mind twitch subtly - he thought of the murderers who had been wailing in front of his eyes, but he couldn't help them.
...and a certain high school detective who stepped on the murderer and kept beating.
“…”
Heiji Hattori silently glanced at Shinichi Takeda, who was hanging in the warehouse, and suddenly realized that he should be more worried than worrying about Ye and Jiang Xia being assassinated by the murderer-he is busy solving the case, and he is only short of When a few clues were enough, Jiang Xia suddenly came back with a half-dead murderer who had been beaten, and threw it on the ground with ease, saying, "I met the murderer by accident and felt suspicious, so I held down and beat it. , and now he has all recruited" and so on...
"..." Blood pressure is up.
Heiji Hattori knocked on his head for the nth time, so that he could think like a normal high school detective instead of always thinking about something messy.
He cleared his throat and took a deep breath: "Call the police first."
……
Deep in the mountains.
The inn of Boss Tiantu is indeed not far from the star observation point.
This season, tourists are quite rare. After Jiang Xia entered the room, he glanced around and found that the few guests were all gathered in the hall - a woman with a jug and a drunk, a middle-aged man with a high hairline, and a man with a spiky head .
Except for the surprised boss Tiantu, the other three guests were all found by the invitation letter from the late "Mr. Kono".
One of them is Kono Asao's fiancee, Nonomiya Etsuko.
The other two have little to do with Kono—they are editors and editors-in-chief of an astronomy magazine called SpaceSunday. The only intersection between the two of them and Kono was a year ago, on the day Kono disappeared, they both stayed at this hotel.
Haihara Ai's eyes first fell on Nonomiya Etsuko.
Some time ago, Haibara Ai had a lot more free time than before after defecting from the organization. She subscribed to many newspapers that often reported Jiangxia's crime-solving deeds.
In a newspaper, there is not only one case, Haibara Ai often flips through it and reads it all, so it also fills in a lot of experience in solving cases.
So in her opinion, the current lineup and configuration in the hotel, combined with the cause and effect, seems like someone is trying to find the enemy who killed Kono.
Hai Yuanai recalled the news she heard during the time when Jiang Xia was away, and thought it might be useful.
So he came over and quietly added information to Jiang Xia: "Boss Tiantu seems to have a good relationship with the deceased - Mr. Kono and Miss Nozhimiya are his juniors in college, and they often come here for vacations together~ IndoMTL.com~ The moment Jiang Xia entered the door, he had already looked at all the places to look. He successfully saw a somewhat outdated shikigami on one of the legs, confirming the killing of Kono Ma. male murderer.
However, he remembered that there was still a ghost to pick up.
So Jiang Xia withdrew her hidden gaze, and like a detective who was really solving a case, she whispered to Hai Yuanai in a very cooperative voice:
"It seems that the person who sent the invitation and planned all this is more likely to be between Miss Nonomiya and Mr. Tiantu."
Of course, all of these have a premise - the deceased is really Asao Kono.
Fortunately this is not difficult to confirm.
——The corpse scattered under the hill had cavities in the front teeth. After asking about Nonomiya, this could match the characteristics of Kono.
During their brief conversation, Boss Tiantu kept dialing the phone, trying to call the police, but he didn't dial out for a long time.
Jiang Xia looked at the boss who was performing hard, and approached and knocked on the phone: "Don't press it, it's not plugged into the phone line."
"What?!" The boss of Tiantu was shocked again. He looked at the landline, "No wonder I always feel that something is not right..."
Jiang Xia: "..."
In his mind, this boss was the one who sent invitations, hid phone lines, and even discovered the bones on the mountain first.
The boss of Tiantu only knew that his apprentice died tragically, but he didn't know who killed him.
So he found all the people who lived here when Kono disappeared, hoping that after seeing the body, he would surrender himself or reveal his flaws and be packaged and brought back by the police as a performance.
