Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 384 Uzo's Fishing Line (joint chapter)

   Soon, Anji Asama, who was wearing a wig, mask and tinted glasses to cover his face, and a large trench coat to hide his figure, opened the door.

   He glanced at Kayuki, took a step back, and let this apparent accomplice who "discussed with him on something important" enter the door.

   Although Kagoshi has already turned against Anji Asama in his heart, he has never been an emotional person, and he has never shown resentment in front of Anji Asama. Back then, when he broke up with Anji Asama, he just used "unintentional robbery after the death of his girlfriend, just looking for a stable job" as an excuse.

And this time, after the failed robbery of Asama Anji, Kayue provided him with costumes for disguise and a ticket for escape-in ​​the former small team of three robbers, Kayue Toshiro is a figure similar to a think tank, and Anji Asama is accustomed to following his advice without much doubt.

  ...Therefore, the process of Kagori hitting the former boss with a sap after entering the room, causing Anji Asama to faint on the spot, there were no twists and turns, and it was quite logical.

   Asama Anji fell to the ground without saying a word.

   Kagoshi remembered his dead girlfriend, snorted coldly, and kicked the person on the ground.

Then he took the time to smash the car window in the box, tied Anji Asama's trouser belt with a fishing line, hung him outside the window, and made a mechanism - the other end of the fishing line tied to Anji Asama Pulling out the door, along the stairs, he pulled into Kagose Rikaku's own box on the second floor, and fastened the fishing line.

   In this way, as long as the fishing line is cut at the right time, Asama will "jump" regularly.

   After completing these bells and whistles, Kagori put on the same camouflage of Asama Anji - a wig, a fake beard, sunglasses, a mask and a windbreaker.

   Finally, he went to the social compartment with a gun. Get ready to kill the boss Izumo waiting there.

   and "jumped himself" while being chased by conductors.

  …

   "Anji Asama"'s shadowy figure disappeared behind the end of the carriage.

   Not far away, a box door slowly opened.

   Jiang Xia glanced at the direction Kayuri left, and stepped into the empty corridor.

   He walked straight to the box where Asama Anji had just died, stopped at the door, and knocked on the door intentionally.

   Of course no one responded.

   Two seconds later, Jiang Xia gently opened the door and slipped into someone else's box.

  The door closed behind him again.

  The fishing line trap clamped in the crack of the door will not be triggered by opening the door. From the outside, there is nothing abnormal in this box.

   But the inside of the box was already in a mess at this time - strong winds poured in frantically from the broken window, and the debris and instant garbage in the room swayed like weeds swept by the sea.

   Jiang Xia straightened his jacket, which had been twisted by the wind, and estimated when Kayuri would return.

   He took out the throwing stick and spread it out in his hand.

  …

   Kagoshi was wearing Asama's clothes, holding the well-loaded Rob in his pocket, all the way to the social car.

   There are three or four people sitting here sporadically.

   Izumo Keitaro is also among them.

   He sat alone on the single sofa by the window, staring impatiently at the watch on his wrist-the transaction time that the "anonymous threat" informed him was four in the morning.

   But now, the watch has pointed to four ten.

   How dare you be late... Could it be that he was deliberately hanging on to give him a slap in the face?

   Izumo Ketaro was angered in his heart, gritted his teeth and thought, when he found out the real body of the man, he would find someone to give this guy who dared to threaten him an "accidental death".

   As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound of the fabric rubbing against him.

   There was also a sudden itch on the back of his head—something touched his hair.

   Boss Izumo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head back with a feeling.

   The moment he saw the scene behind him, the impatience in his eyes suddenly turned into doubt and fear—a man with a well-covered man was standing behind him, holding a gun to the back of his head.

  ...How come this person is a little familiar.

The idea of ​​   just flashed, and before he could identify more, the "mysterious man" suddenly pulled the trigger.

boom--

   With this loud noise without a muffler, a group of people in the communication compartment turned their heads blankly and followed the sound.

   After seeing Ketaro Izumo, who was lying on the table, with blood on his head, and the gunman behind him, the people in the carriage suddenly burst into screams one after another.

   Kagoshi swept the corner of his eye, and found that many people saw the murderer "Anji Asama", and the corners of his mouth evoked a sneer.

   Waited for a few seconds, until he saw several conductors get up and chase after him, and then Kagoshi strode to the door, rushing in the direction of the Asama Anji box.

   As he ran, he recalled the murder plan of his idol Kudo Yusaku, his hands trembling slightly with excitement and excitement.

   - Next, he would rush to the door of Anji Asama's box, open the door, and under the watchful eyes of the chasing conductor, fire a few shots inside, pretending to smash the window.

After that, shoot in the direction of the chasing soldiers - the light and bullets are basically in a straight line, so in the narrow and straight aisle, when the chasing soldiers dodge the bullets, Kayori will definitely be able to avoid the chasing soldiers. look.

   And during this short period of time when no one was watching, he would pretend to enter the house, but in fact walk up the stairs leading to the box on the second floor.

  ——This staircase is next to Asama's box door, and it's easy to get in.

After that, as long as you cut the fishing line that was connected to your room in advance, you can let the Asama Anji hanging outside the car window fall out of the car, and let the fishing line mechanism pull the box door forcefully, creating a kind of "Asama Anji". After the murder, he fled into the box, broke the car window and tried to jump out of the car, but unfortunately fell to his death.”

  …

   A few minutes ago, in the box of the Maori family.

   Mouri Kogoro woke up early in the morning and found that the two young people next to him were not sleeping.

  ——Maurilan was looking at the dark scenery outside the window, and Conan was facing the window, thinking about gin and vodka for a while, and thinking about the robbery for a while.

  Mori Kogoro tried to drive the two to sleep, but failed.

   He yawned sullenly, not bothering to care anymore. I plan to roll over and continue to sleep on my own.

   At this moment, there was a strange noise in the distance.

  The sound was covered up by the rumble of the train, and it was easy to ignore.

   But Mao Lilan's ears moved, he suddenly looked to one side, and hesitantly said, "Listen, it seems like someone is screaming."

   "... scream?"

  Mouri Kogoro has not been exposed to murder cases very much recently, so he is not very sensitive to this kind of movement. When his daughter said this, he vaguely felt that it was a bit similar, and got up from the bed vigilantly.

  Conan also heard those voices.

   At the same time, as if a switch was flipped in his mind, a low line like a narration was elicited:

  [The gunshots and screams echo through the rumbling of the tunnel...

   That man ran through the dark corridor like a hungry beast...]

  "?" Conan knocked on his head, stunned by this inexplicable line.

   However, the "dark corridor"...

   He subconsciously walked to the door and opened the door hesitantly.

   The next second, a figure in disguise ran past their door just by pressing the peaked cap on his head. It was especially suspicious in the sleeper car after four in the morning.

   The three people in the room were startled at the same time, and they were a little confused.

When the door at the end of the carriage was opened, the two panting flight attendants were panting heavily against the door frame. When they saw Kogoro Mori sticking his head out of the door, they immediately pointed at Anji Asama who ran over and shouted. : "Murder! That person just shot a passenger in public in the social carriage!"

   "What?!" Kogoro Mori turned his head in shock and wanted to catch up.

  …

  Although there were a few more onlookers inexplicably, Kagoshi didn't panic - things have progressed so far, and everything is as expected by his idol.

   Next, as long as he breaks the window and shoots a few chasers to let them evade in a hurry, he will be able to pass the murder pot to his enemy Anji Asama...

While thinking   , Kagori said "Crash--" and opened the door of Anji Asama's box.

   He was about to shoot twice at the broken car window.

   But when he raised his hand, he saw the scene in the box and was suddenly stunned.

  ...In a room that should have been empty, there was actually a person standing there.

   In an instant, Kagoshi's blood pressure soared to the critical line, and his first reaction was - Yasuji Asama didn't die!

   It was not until he recognized that it was Anji Asama who was standing in the room, but the high school detective who used to make him a little afraid.

  … wait, that doesn’t seem to be much better.

  By the way, why is this detective here? !

   At the same time as a series of thoughts flashed, Kayuri suddenly raised the muzzle, gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger at Jiang Xia.

  ——It's not a big problem. One more Jiangxia will only make "Anji Asama" kill one more person while fleeing. Everything has nothing to do with him and Yueli.

However, for some unknown reason, the gun, which should have been easily activated with the bending of his fingers, seemed to be filled with extremely viscous glue. The simple and quick action of "shooting" was hit by some huge The resistance slows down countless times.

  ——In the inhuman's field of vision, Kagulyze's gun was already stuffed with puppet clay that popped out of nowhere.

   But Kaguri himself couldn't see the scene and didn't know the inside story.

   Therefore, when he failed to pull the gun for the first time, he just naively thought that maybe he had not used the gun for too long, and he accidentally hit the insurance while running.

   He immediately adjusted the gun suspiciously and nervously, wanting to buckle a second time.

   But apparently it was too late.

  —The detective in the room glanced at his calf and smiled kindly and friendly at him.

   and that weird smile appeared at the same time, was a black phantom that drew an arc in mid-air.

   Kagoshi panicked in his heart, and in the next instant, the heavy wind sounded from the swinging stick that came from nowhere, and banged heavily on his head.

   There was a muffled sound in his throat, as if a string of fireworks had exploded before his eyes, and he fell backwards.

At the same time as the whole person fell flat to the ground, Kagoshi couldn't hold the gun in his hand, and the pistol with half of the bullet left slipped out of the ground, just by Kogoro Mouri, who had just run into the corridor and wanted to rush over to help. Accidentally kicked.

   So he slid back like a hockey puck.

   Kagori, who is highly resistant to head attacks because he wears a wig, shines.

He tried his best to ignore the terrifying shadow that Jiang Xia cast on him, raised his hand to aim at the direction the gun was sliding in, and tried to catch it—as long as there was a gun, he would kill everyone who blocked him in time, leaving only one alive, He still wins!

  Click.

The box door on the side of    suddenly opened.

   One foot fell and firmly stepped on the gun that had slipped halfway.

   Gin glanced down at the gun, then turned his head again, looking at the situation on both sides.

   He hadn't actually slept just now. As a person who has used guns all the year round, and has also shot to silence on trains, Jinjiu recognized the gunshots mixed in the noisy noise earlier than others.

   Later, he heard that the corridor was very chaotic, and it seemed that many people were there, so Jin Jiu opened the door to check.

  ——He still remembered his previous plan: first hand over the target of this "random encounter" to Uzzo. If Uzzo fails, then he will have to personally come out to kill the target and those who see the truth, and even kill Uzzo depending on the situation.

   However, now it seems that things have not developed to that serious level.

   At least judging from Uzo's seemingly calm, but actually happy expression, everything is developing as he expected.

   Also, as soon as the door was opened, Gin saw the gun sliding on the ground.

   Considering that Uzo didn't have a gun, it couldn't possibly be his weapon, and Gin stomped on it.

In such a narrow place, he really didn't want to see anyone other than himself holding a gun - vodka doesn't count, he can only count as a gunner who points where to shoot, the kind who shoots with inaccuracy .

After    intercepted the weapon of the unknown person, Gin turned his head, and showed a grim sneer at Kagori on the ground, and habitually crushed it with his feet.

   The gun made a little click and hit the ground.

   But it was not trampled.

  … Of course, that’s not the point.

   The point is that such a sudden change happened on the way, and it could no longer slide to the side of Kavritase.

   Jia Yueli lost his most powerful weapon and wanted to stand up to fight, but Jiang Xia stepped forward and stepped on it skillfully.

   He fluttered and lay on the ground, looking at the approaching conductor, the enthusiastic passengers, the terrifying tall man in black, and Jiang Xia who was standing in the Asama security room for some reason, and suddenly raised his hand and hammered the ground.

   Then follow the process and shed unwilling tears.

  …

   It was another shooting and another tragic death of a rich man. After so many things happened, it was impossible for the train to go to the finish line as if nothing had happened.

   After the flight attendant called the police, the Big Dipper train stopped halfway, and a group of police came up.

   The police easily found Keitaro Izumo's body, and they also found Anji Asama's body hanging outside the window.

   "I heard a strange cracking sound in the middle of the night. When I was curious, I got up and checked the situation."

  Jiang Xia sat opposite the police, holding a teacup, while recalling the false mental journey this morning, and talking about what he saw just now:

   "After entering the corridor, I felt that the wind was much louder than before - although this may also be because everyone slept at night, the surroundings were relatively quiet, and the noise was loud, but I still felt that something was not right."
