The Corpse Collector In Conan: Three hundred and three [curse of the dead]
Without the two groups of murderous spirits to eat, this restaurant with a good reputation suddenly became empty.
Jiang Xia looked at the menu with her chin resting a little bored, waited for a while, and finally waited until the other three students who were good at chatting finished eating.
The four of them packed some convenience food for the detectives who had forgotten to eat and sleep, and then left the restaurant, preparing to go to Osaka Castle to see the progress of the matter.
…
Walking all the way to the bridge, you can see the castle tower on the opposite side from a distance.
"I don't know if they have solved the case. Sigh, how can we stay away from these endless cases."
Yuan Shan and Ye yawned sleepily: "But speaking of it, why are there so many charred corpses in Osaka Castle? Thirteen years ago, there were a few weeks ago, and there is another today, and the time interval is getting shorter and shorter It's gone."
After she summed it up in this way, an ordinary case seemed to become scary.
"Those charred corpses seem to have pieces of golden gourds on them." Mao Lilan, who was afraid of ghosts, thought of something and shivered, "Could this be a curse from Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"
Yuan Shan and Ye are not that afraid of ghosts, but in the quiet night, coupled with a series of cases, she can't help feeling guilty at this time, but her mouth is still firm: "It's okay, we don't have fragments, even if it's a curse." , and it will definitely not fall on us!"
Suzuki Sonoko was also a little flustered.
But when she found that the other two people were more panicked than she was, and there was Jiangxia Zhenchang next to her, she couldn't help but feel playful, and said quietly: "But did the deceased carry the fragments on his body during his lifetime, or did they suddenly appear after death?" Appeared, this point is not yet conclusive—maybe Toyotomi Hideyoshi's undead had been sleeping for many years, and suddenly found someone who dared to covet his treasure, so he quietly burned those people to death, and put a piece of debris on them, As a token... ah!"
Before she finished speaking, she bumped her head on Jiang Xia's back, which surprised herself. She turned her head and looked around in panic: "What's the matter?! What's the matter?!"... The undead will not really appear, she, she just said it casually, no offense intended!
Jiang Xia turned her head and glanced at her: "It's nothing. Just now I saw a strange shadow on the bridge, so I wanted to stop and take a closer look... But looking at it now, it should be just one person."
"...strange shadow?"
The three girls were slightly taken aback, and looked in his direction.
There are no street lights here, and the light is dim. Looking across the bridge from this angle, the castle tower hundreds of meters away is the most conspicuous. The delicate and beautiful high-rise buildings during the day are now illuminated by a few beams of pale light, and the lights are cast from bottom to top, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.
"..." They shuddered and tried to focus their sights on the bridge.
After a closer look, I saw that there is indeed a human silhouette in the middle of the dark bridge.
The man was dressed in black and stood with his back to them. The loose clothes were blown by the wind, and the whole figure seemed to be shaking with the wind.
Mao Lilan took a breath, and asked a few students tremblingly in a low voice: "...Are you a human or a ghost?"
Jiang Xia was about to speak, but at this moment, with a faint "click" sound, a ball of fire suddenly lit up in front of the mysterious man, clearly illuminating his outline.
"!" The three girls froze and said in unison, "...the will-o'-the-wisp! It's the will-o'-the-wisp!"
Almost at the same time, Jiang Xia felt a terrified hand grabbing his arm, pinching the corner of his eye.
He tried to dodge, but failed - the other arm was caught by Mao Lilan. Perhaps it was fear that awakened the deep strength in her body, and Jiang Xia was completely unable to pull her arm out of her for a while.
Feeling Mao Li's strength gradually out of control, in order to save his arm, Jiang Xia had no choice but to comfort him: "Calm down, ghosts won't get angry."
"Huh?" Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned, "What would that ghost do."
"..." Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, as Quan pretended not to hear the question, "I mean, that ball of light doesn't look like a will-o'-the-wisp, it should be the light of a lighter."
"Lighter?"
This kind of life-like thing made the three people's thoughts quickly return from "the undead of the Warring States Period" to reality.
Besides, the shadow in front of them remained motionless, and Jiang Xia looked very reliable, so they calmed down a little.
At this time, the black shadow turned sideways slightly, and saw that what it was holding in its hand was indeed a windproof lighter. The lighter shell was shiny and the style was very modern, which was not something Toyotomi Hideyoshi could have.
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest in shock: "It's good to have a body."
Jiang Xia successfully rescued his arm, he moved quietly worriedly, and then he was relieved to find that everything was in good condition and his arm was not broken.
Yuan Shan and Ye Ye jumped up and down again, and she looked at Jiang Xia in surprise: "From such a distance, you can actually tell that it's a lighter?"
"Of course." Suzuki Sonoko became proud of him first, "Jiang Xia is a professional!"
...It's not just about being a detective, but she remembers that Jiang Xia always carries a lighter and cigarettes with him. What's more, his cigarettes are still homemade, which can't be bought in the market at all, and he looks very particular.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." It's just that Jiang Xia rarely sees smoking. Inspire him.
In short, since the shadow on the bridge is a person, there is no problem.
The three girls are no longer afraid, and plan to cross the bridge with Jiang Xia.
But just as he took a step, the shadow in the rain suddenly put the lighter on his arm.
Boom——
The fire suddenly lit up, and the man burned at a strangely fast speed, and burned into a burning man in the blink of an eye. The figure wrapped in flames staggered in pain, and suddenly fell to the side of the bridge~IndoMTL.com~ In the blink of an eye, he crossed the bridge and fell into the river with a plop.
"?!" Several young witnesses were stunned, unable to tell whether the man committed suicide or regretted it immediately after committing suicide, so he quickly jumped into the river again.
They quickly ran to the bridge, looked outside the fence, and saw the man floating face down in the river, with a blazing fire on his back when he emerged from the water, the whole person was motionless, as if he was dead same.
Almost at the same time, on the other side of the bridge, a man holding an umbrella also saw this scene and was stunned.
In the dim light, it is difficult for ordinary people to see his face clearly.
Jiang Xia turned his head to look, and asked meaningfully: "Who?"
The man came back to his senses, turned around in a panic, and ran away quickly.
"I'll go and have a look, remember to call the police."
Jiang Xia left the matter of calling the police to the three classmates, and chased in the direction the man left.
