The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 644: The ghost in red (??`)
A moment later, the innkeeper pushed his glasses and looked up at Jiang Xia in surprise.
He twitched the moustache on his lips and said excitedly: "It's the high school detective in Tokyo. To be honest, I've been thinking about making a commission recently, but I can't get in touch with you. I didn't expect you to come directly. ..."
“…”
The waiter who walked to the corner turned around and saw this scene, his face changed, and his face became a lot gloomy.
At this moment, Amuro Toru seemed to be keenly aware of something, and suddenly turned his head to look over.
The two sides stared at each other unexpectedly. Shenbao Nobita was startled, and instinctively smiled at the guest.
Then didn't dare to stay any longer, turned the corner, and quickly walked away from Jiang Xia and Anshitou's sight.
……
Amuro looked back, remembering the gloomy look on the waiter's face just now, and frowned, vaguely feeling that something might be about to happen.
However, he usually works for a long time and has seen all kinds of migrant workers. Some of them keep smiling face to face, scolding guests behind their backs. The waiter just now, or maybe just an ordinary waiter, looked gloomy just now, because he was scolding the off-season and wanted a good rest, but some guests came to increase their workload...
Amuro Toru recalled Shenbao Nobita's face and the employee badge on him.
I made sure I didn't see this person on the wanted list, nor did I see a similar name, so I withdrew my attention and looked at the innkeeper who had entrusted him.
After Jiang Xia said that he was "temporarily free", the boss approached them and whispered mysteriously:
"That's right, a while ago, didn't someone find the body of a man in red nearby.
"Actually, he came to me five years ago and left something behind."
……
Five years ago, the innkeeper had a strange guest.
The man wore a bright red coat and had long hair. He called the boss to his room in the middle of the night and gave the boss 100,000 yen, a locked box, and a letter.
The man in red wants to deposit the suitcase and letter with the innkeeper. The 100,000 yen is the storage fee.
He tells the boss that if he picks it up himself, give him the box.
And if someone else came to ask for the box in his name, hide the box and give the letter to that person.
"As a result, the day after the man in red left, someone came to me to pick up the box. But it was not him, but a man with sunglasses and a hat and a thick beard on his face."
Because the two people before and after are strange, the hotel owner is very impressed with them:
“As the man in red said before, I hid the box, and only gave the letter to the bearded man. After the bearded man opened it on the spot and checked it, he shredded the letter angrily, threw it into the trash can, and then left."
"Wait for him to go away..." Speaking of which, the innkeeper scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Well, I was so curious, so I couldn't help but pick out the shredded paper and put it together.
"And then found a few big **** characters 'I curse you to death' written on it.
"After that, the man in red never appeared again, and the bearded man didn't bother much. I gradually forgot about it.
"Who knew that a few days ago, the police actually found the body of the man in red."
The innkeeper said, looking at Jiang Xia expectantly: "I'm really curious about this, so I want to ask the detective to come over and check what happened to the box and the man in red. I haven't opened it yet. That box, look..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xia routinely looked at Amuro and asked her nominal boss for advice.
However, when I looked at it, I found that the boss had a complicated look of "I knew it would be like this", which was strange.
“…?”
Jiang Xia couldn't understand what he was thinking.
However, there does not seem to be any objection to his taking on the assignment.
Jiang Xia looked at the innkeeper again, remembering the murderous waiter in his shop, and nodded: "We still have something to do in the future. I'll take a look tonight. If I find anything, I'll tell you right away."
……
The deal is done.
The innkeeper took them back to their room, and after rustling for a while, he dragged out an old locked suitcase from the corner.
Considering that a human life is at stake, there may be something extraordinary hidden in the box.
The three did not unpack in the lobby.
The boss first personally opened two guest rooms for them, then took the keys, and the three came to Jiang Xia's room.
……
Take out the key left by the man in red, open the suitcase, and see an old newspaper inside.
The date of the newspaper is September five years ago. This is a sports newspaper, with the headline "Akagi Maru Chusheng" on the front page, and a picture of two sumo wrestlers fighting. Apart from that, there is nothing in the box.
The innkeeper was surprised by the result.
Under his gaze, Jiang Xia put on gloves, picked up the newspaper and shook it, then flipped through the pages.
It was found that there was nothing in the newspaper. No matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary newspaper.
Besides, Amuro breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that as soon as he opened the box, a mummified hand would shake out, or something like an eyeball specimen... but it didn't.
Thinking about it, Toru Amuro checked the suitcase.
And then I found out that this is an ordinary mass-produced luggage with a lock, without any mechanism.
The problem probably lies with that newspaper.
……
Besides, the innkeeper looks disappointed.
Although he didn't want to embezzle the property of the man in red, when he suddenly encountered such a thing, he thought he had encountered some legendary mystery. Who knows that now, only one newspaper has been opened in the box.
...Maybe the man in red doesn't care about the contents of the box at all, and just wants to send that cursed letter for an excuse?
...Maybe there are some complicated anagrams hidden in the newspaper?
The innkeeper sighed. He still prefers the adventurous part, and is not interested in anagrams and the like.
"It's getting late, why don't you two go to dinner first, in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, our main dishes are available for a limited time, and now there are more than 20 minutes before the end~IndoMTL.com~ If it is later, there will only be batches. Customized bento."
The boss looked at Jiang Xia: "Leave the box with you. Well, if you solve the puzzle and find out what kind of adventure map or treasure map it is, you can ask me to lend someone. We usually do our own work. Going to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, there are a lot of shovels and the like.”
"Okay."
Coincidentally, Jiang Xia is also not interested in solving puzzles.
Compared to this, he is more concerned about the murderous aura of the waiters in the store. Although there is not much at present, it seems to have great potential for growth.
He snapped the lid of the box, ready to go for a good meal first, as the boss said.
