The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 399: Gin poisoning incident (together
With a bit of a creepy feeling, eight hard and sharp spider legs slowly stretched out from Jiang Xia's back and waved in the air unskilledly.
Jiang Xia manipulated the puppet he possessed, allowing the spider legs to stick out in front of him.
Jiang Xia glanced at the cold light they glowed in the moonlight, and continued to stretch it forward, letting one of them rest lightly on the outer wall.
The moment he grabbed the wall, the tip of his leg suddenly developed a strong adsorption force.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Xia noticed that the consumption of murderous aura increased rapidly.
“…”
The ability to climb walls in spider form seems to be coin-operated?
After realizing this, Jiang Xia briefly fell into contemplation.
After a second, several other spider legs came out of the window one after another, gropingly clawing at the wall.
...and try coin-operating too.
It wasn't because of curiosity, but because he thought about it, he still felt that he should familiarize himself with the situation of the puppet before it was officially used, so that he would not make mistakes in the future.
……
In the darkness of the night, a figure with eight slender legs behind it climbed carefully along the wall of the building.
Gradually, the figure in the white kimono grew faster and faster, and finally swept back and forth across the wall like a spot of light, light and without leaving any traces.
It wasn't until the new legs were almost cooked that Jiang Xia slowed down and hung it by the window of his room.
He carefully looked at the hook-like spider legs on the wall, recalled the speed of movement just now, and was quite satisfied.
Now that the monster vests of water, land and air are all in place, in the future, he may be invincible in terms of running alone. Judging from the speed just now, in the short term, Amuro Toru's car may not even be able to run this one. spider.
After understanding the use of the new vest, Jiang Xia was about to return to the room.
At this time, I saw that the mermaid and the misty dog who were following seemed to have found something. The two ghosts chatted for a while, and pointed Jiang Xia in a direction.
Jiang Xia looked over there. After thinking for a while, he manipulated the spider legs to go around the inn horizontally, and stopped on the second floor on the opposite side, next to a window.
...When I tested my legs just now, the speed was too high. The biggest feeling during the whole process was "the sea breeze is really strong today" and "I climbed really fast".
Now that I stopped to observe carefully, Jiang Xia gradually realized that something was wrong—across the wall, I could vaguely feel a murderous aura in the room.
In addition, going deeper, there seems to be a more seductive atmosphere.
…Murderous and Shikigami?
Isn't the luck a little better recently... Jiang Xia silently touched his arm, feeling that he was holding the European energy.
……
The humanoid part of the spider golem is very light and moves like a weightless paper figure.
Jiang Xia first let the ghost sneak into the suspicious room with murderous intent in front of him to take a look.
Confirming that the owner of the house was asleep, Jiang Xia hung himself on the side of the window, then gently stuck out a sharp claw, placed it on the window, and stirred it along the gap.
An old-fashioned window bolt falls.
The window slowly slides open.
The eight spider legs behind Jiang Xia moved silently. When he landed again, he had already entered the house.
This room is a one-bedroom with a simple layout with a low coffee table and an equally very low bed on the left.
There was a middle-aged man with brown hair lying on the bed. He didn't seem to be sleeping very well. He was gnashing his teeth in his dreams, as if he wanted to catch someone and take a bite at any time.
Jiang Xia glanced at him, and his eyes quickly landed on the coffee table beside him.
——Maybe thinking about counting before leaving, the owner did not put the luggage in the bag.
At this time, two sets of fishing rods, a pair of insulating gloves, and a lighter are neatly arranged on the table. Jiang Xia took a closer look and found that the fishing rod was made of carbon and was very light.
…also conducts electricity.
“…”
Put this group of things together, Jiang Xia feels that the memory bank has moved.
...He seems to have encountered a case he had seen before.
Thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia didn't move the items on the table, but instructed the ghosts to float into the owner's bag and looked at the business card holder.
There is a stack of business cards tucked into the business card holder. The most repeated ones are the owner's own, with the name "Kazuyuki Kazui", the president of the Kazui Public Works Store.
Jiang Xia nodded secretly, recalling this somewhat impressive name.
——He remembered that in this case that had not yet happened, Kazuyuki Kazui wanted to use the entertainment activity of "fishing" to cause an electric shock accident. Fortunately, a certain financial president who oppressed him with loan sharks "accidentally" died".
...It seems that on the way to Moon Shadow Island, it is really possible to pick up something else along the way.
Just like that, you have to find an excuse not to take the boat sent by the organization.
By the way, before that, one more thing needs to be confirmed.
……
Jiang Xia raised his hand to recall the ghost, opened the puppet, and silently walked to the door of the room.
He pushed out the door, used the hook to restore the latch behind him, and then came to another door on the right.
It is customary to put the ghost in first and take a look.
After confirming that the owner of this room was also asleep, Jiang Xia pushed the door open and entered.
Then, his eyes freeze slightly.
——In this room, a middle-aged man was also sleeping. This man has a broad chin, a tall aquiline nose, and deep nasolabial lines on his face, which are clear even when he is not smiling.
Combining with what happened just now and these characteristics, a name quickly popped up in Jiang Xia's mind: Yamazaki Tsuneo.
——That is, the unscrupulous lender that Kazuyuki Kawai next door planned to assassinate, and the president of Yamazaki Financial Society.
Of course, to Jiang Xia, Yamazaki's name is not important, character is not important, and status is not important.
The important thing is that this person has a large piece of Shikigami on his leg, so dense that it almost covers his calf. If you count it carefully, there are seven.
Seven.
“…”
Jiang Xia stared at him for a while without saying a word.
Then he left the room silently, restored the doors and windows, and climbed down the stairs along the wall.
Dodge the lights and head all the way to the beach.
Eight legs are indeed faster than two legs, and when they only walk on flat ground and don't climb walls vertically, they don't consume as much murderous energy as before.
Jiang Xia approached the pier while secretly adapting to the new way of walking.
The damp smell of the sea is blowing in my face, and the fine waves lapping the shore make the sound of rushing water. In the dark atmosphere, two yachts could be seen moored in the small port.
One of the boats was for business use. The hull was painted with "Oiyuan". At this time, the lights on the boat were not lit, and there was no one.
There is activity on the other ship.
Jiang Xia put his vision on the ghost and let the ghost float into the second boat for a walk. I saw two men in black suits who looked like passersby, and they seemed to be on duty on the boat.
...It looks like this is a ship sent by the organization.
Jiang Xia's eyes flickered back and forth between the two ships.
Organized boats are certainly safer and more convenient.
But now, as long as you switch to another mode of transportation, you can easily pick up eight shikigami along the way... It's like if you switch from driving to taking a bus to work one day in a month, you can send an extra whole The monthly salary is the same, it is hard not to be moved.
...After all, he is not a big ghost, and there is never enough ghosts.
——Judging from the brochure Jiangxia received when he checked into the hotel, the "Haiyuan" next to the organization's ship was a traveling merchant ship.
In this season, there are not many interesting places around, but there is a main island near Yueying Island. The southeast corner of the island is full of fish, which is suitable for fishing. The recent destinations of the Haiyuan are also there.
The murderous owner who had prepared conductive fishing rods and insulating gloves just now planned to use the Kaiyuan cruise and fishing as recreational activities to kill the boss who had a lot of ghosts.
Jiang Xia thought about it and realized that if he did not take the Haiyuan, but took the organization's boat to Yueying Island, and then went to the island to solve the case after the incident, he would probably only be able to pick up Duogui President himself. One of his shikigami - once the president is electrocuted by Kazui, the seven old shikigami on his legs will release their obsessions and fall on the spot, and then they are likely to squirm into the sea and disappear, making it difficult to find.
...In short, Jiang Xia felt that he had to take a boat on the Haiyuan.
And... it's better that Gin also hitchhikes with him.
After all, once Jiang Xia took the Haiyuan, after the electric shock case, whether he solved the case or simply watched, it would inevitably be delayed for a while.
This is different from Tokyo. Everyone in Tokyo is familiar with it and you can go directly. But here, he might have to follow the police to go through the process - according to Jiang Xia's accumulated experience during this period, where there are many detectives, similar regulations will be looser, while some places are more strict. Jiang Xia seldom came to Tottori Prefecture, so he didn't know what was going on here.
Therefore, if he splits up with Gin tomorrow, he will delay for a long time to pick up the shikigami, and then he will take the organized boat to arrive at Moon Shadow Island's Gin first, and he will probably be busy picking up a few books on the island. The targets that should be murdered by others are all killed, improving the efficiency.
As a result, Jiang Xia will lose a few shikigami, and the loss will outweigh the gain...
Thinking about it carefully, it's not too difficult to invite the leader to join the boat anyway, at most bear the anger of the boss.
And the anger of the boss is actually a good thing... To be honest, if I didn't want to be expelled from the organization; I didn't want to be shot and killed by Jin Jiu in a rage, and then forced to take away Jin Jiu's busy body to work for him, Jiang Xia would not like to work for him The boss is angry every day...
A figure in a white kimono stood by the sea, quietly looking at the boat in the sea, thoughts surging in his mind.
A moment later, Jiang Xia looked sideways at the sharp spider legs protruding from his back, and nodded slightly as if determined.
……
The next morning.
Jiang Xia opened her eyes in the hotel quilt and stretched comfortably.
There is a thumping sound at the door.
Jiang Xia turned her head and walked over to open the door.
I saw two men in black standing in the corridor.
Jiang Xia looked at both sides of the corridor and saw no one, so he turned to let his boss and his younger brother into the room.
After receiving Jinjiu's email last night, Jiang Xia also replied to an email, briefly explaining the news on his side, including where he is now.
"Depart at 6 pm and arrive after dark." After Gin and Vodka entered the house together, they signaled Vodka to close the door and confirmed the next itinerary to Moon Shadow Island.
Then he looked at Jiang Xia and said solemnly, "The case of the Spider Mansion was solved by another person."
There are relatively few cases in Tottori Prefecture, so occasionally something happens, and the speed of reporting will become very fast. The case that happened last night has already appeared in today's morning paper.
From Gin's point of view, the Spider Mansion, with its legendary bonuses and terrifying images of the deceased, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to raise its profile -- Uzo needs to keep improving before he can get in touch with those picky targets in the future. .
This is also the reason why Gin, after watching the death of Takeda Shinichi yesterday, completely stopped caring about Jiang Xia's concealment of information in advance.
But I saw the news this morning, and the report actually said that the case was solved by a Kansai detective, while Uzo solved another old case.
...As the person who planned the entire script, if Uzo really wants to solve the case, he will never be preempted by others, so this must be his own idea. Thinking of this, when Jin Jiu asked this question, there was inevitably a bit of questioning in his tone.
Jiang Xia said naturally:
"If anyone else knew about this drug trafficking route, they saw that in the cases I encountered along the way, the deceased all happened to be people on this route, and they might associate the two.
"And if the suspect happens to be in the organization and has access to the organization's clearing mission, it's even easier for him to speculate that I'm related to this matter - you're not saying that even within the organization, it's better Hide your identity?"
“…”
Gin nodded slowly.
Something makes sense.
… However, given that the person who said these words was Uzo, it is very likely that these words ~IndoMTL.com~ were just his excuses.
——For example, yesterday, Uzo took the truck and the murderer to leave the spider mansion. Gin originally thought that this was Uzo's attempt to create an alibi, or to take the opportunity to beat Rob.
...Who would have thought that this person would rush to another case without a hitch.
By analogy, the more real reason for not being able to solve the case may be that Uzo actually enjoys the process of killing more than solving the case. So last night, between "cracking the spider mansion case and raising awareness" and "going to appreciate another case", he chose the latter.
No wonder Uzo solves the case so fast every time, and looks like he's reciting the script... It turns out that he's really perfunctory.
...But this time, although Uzo couldn't help but go elsewhere to watch the killings, he still didn't delay the most basic business. And the reasons he gave were indeed plausible.
Gin simply smoothed these things out, and didn't ask any further questions for the time being.
He was really upset when he saw the report this morning.
But after seeing Uzo, his anger somehow calmed down a bit. Jin Jiu thought to himself, now it seems that people who are too capable will probably have some shortcomings of going their own way... But then again, "self-planning actions" is not a complete disadvantage - the organization cultivates it with autonomy. Killing geniuses, not marionettes that need to be toggled.
Breathes down his anger at Uzzo's own assertion yet again.
Afterwards, Jin Jiu took out a delicately packaged square gift box from the bag and handed it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took it and opened it, and found a packet of dim sum inside.
