Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 496 The old classmate is really a good person, ask for a monthly pass (づど)

  The enthusiastic male college student seems to be very good at mountaineering and has always been at the forefront.

   When he came to the cliff section, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Xia and his group from a distance, hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to slow down.

   When the tourists behind him approached, he stood on the protruding stone, stretched out his hand to Maorilan, and said enthusiastically like a coach:

   "Be careful when climbing, you are newbies, you can pull these ropes up. Of course, you can also pull my hand..."

   As soon as he finished speaking, a hand was raised and placed on his.

  …Everything developed as the male college students wished.

  Only the person who made this action was slightly different from the picture he was looking forward to.

  ——It wasn't the cheerful and lovely high school girl who pulled him, but the man next to her who covered her face with a mask and hat, but looked absolutely "gender man".

   Male college student: "..."

   Before the enthusiastic person could react, Jiang Xia grabbed his arm a little and flipped over the stone lightly.

   Beneath the stone, Conan pushed the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose with relief, and put down the hand that kept poking at Jiang Xia's calf, and the mirror flashed a reflection.

  Maurilan didn't notice Conan's little actions.

   She looked at the height of the stone, and with her toes kicked on a narrow bulge on the side, she easily jumped up, not much slower than ordinary steps.

  The male college student looked at this scene with a slightly stiff smile.

  This is not the same as the script he imagined for "bringing new people"...

   Amuro Toru didn't climb up immediately, he looked down at Conan and observed this strange child.

   saw Conan raised his head and stretched out his hand towards Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, I don't want strangers to pull me. What if he is a bad guy and pretends to be skating halfway through? It's all played like that on TV."

   Amuro Toru: "..."

   The commissioner Chao Wenzao was startled, and he also realized the danger of finding someone to pull him. He looked at the male college student who seemed to have ulterior motives, snorted coldly, ignored him, grabbed the rope used for climbing next to him, and climbed upwards.

   There was a light bang, and the moment he exerted force, the thick hemp rope suddenly snapped.

  Chao Wenzao lost his balance, his feet slipped on the edge of a relatively smooth rock, and the whole person screamed and fell to the side of the cliff.

   Jiang Xia saw it with his eyes down, and quickly stepped forward, holding the person down. Chaowen made a risk and hung on the edge of a cliff. He was sluggish for a moment, and hurriedly climbed up the stone.

   Amuro Toru was also taken aback by this unexpected change.

   He remembered the "left-handed" characteristics of Silver Fox, and then thought about the suggestion of "pulling the rope to climb up" put forward by this left-handed college student, and his eyes became sharp for a moment.

The male college student was startled by his scrutinizing eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis that the other party would immediately push him down and send him somewhere, he stammered and explained: "I-I don't know how this happened. thing……"

   Jiang Xia let go of Chao Wenzao, who had already stood firm, jumped back under the stone, picked up the broken hemp rope, and looked at it.

   Then he patted Toru Amuro, handed over the rope, and said in a low voice, "It might just be an accident."

   While the boss was concentrating on checking the hemp rope, Jiang Xia secretly withdrew the hand that clapped him just now.

  ...There is a murderous smell of coffee in his hand.

   I didn’t expect that the thrilling scene just now could bring such a harvest. Does the boss have a little prejudice against lefties? In this way, it is true that Shuichi Akai and Gin are both left-handed... It may be the keyword "left-handed" + "killing", which made Toru Amuro have some associations just now.

  Jiang Xia was thinking about the reason for the drop of murderous aura, while taking advantage of the chaos in the scene, he secretly put away the unusually rare coffee-smelling murderous aura.

   And couldn't help but looked at Amuro Toru again, wanting to see if there was anything missing.

Matsuda Jinpei also stared at Amuro Toru, his eyes lighted slightly: I didn't expect an old classmate to have a high-end murderous aura... Although he still prefers the smell of alcohol, the coffee is also very good, and it is much better than that disinfectant. .

   will suddenly produce murderous aura, maybe the old classmate thought that the killer was in front of him, so he had corresponding mood swings... Heh, he is still so jealous of evil. Matsuda Jinping was a little emotional.

  While Matsuda Jinping was secretly observing Amuro Toru, Jiang Xia was also secretly observing this active-thinking new ghost, hesitating to say anything.

   Finally swallowed the words silently.

   Amuro Toru, this vest essence, is too complicated to explain. Let's let Matsuda Jinhei watch it slowly...

  …

  Amuro Toru did not drop more murderous aura.

   - He inspected the hemp rope that served as the handrail, and soon found that the break of the rope was not smooth, and there was no smell of caustic drugs. Combined with the aging condition of the entire length of rope, this looks more like natural aging.

   The client seems to be just unlucky... Could this left-handed man really not be a killer?

  The commissioner Chao Wenzao didn’t think so.

   He calmed down, grabbed the male college student's collar, and shouted angrily, "Sure enough, you are a silver fox!"

  The male college student was startled and hurriedly denied it.

  The sudden break of the rope, the gloomy gaze of Amuro, and the roar of the client when he recovered, made the other passengers vaguely realize that something was wrong.

  The mountaineering team that was originally gathered together gradually became wider, and a group of people gradually spread out.

   Only the couple still followed Jiang Xia and the others, and did not try to surpass them. The bag on the couple seems to be particularly heavy, and the woman among them is weak and walks very slowly.

  …

   When there was still some distance from the rest point, the client was a little immobile, and a group of people stopped temporarily to rest.

  The couple stopped not too far away and took water from their bags to drink.

  When they took the water glass, they carefully blocked the bag, and quickly closed it after taking it.

  Mao Lilan saw these actions and asked Jiang Xia in a low voice, "They don't seem to want us to see them in the bag. Is there any killer equipment hidden in it?"

   A group of people happened to be sitting downwind of the couple.

   As soon as the bag opened and closed, the tip of Anshitou's nose suddenly moved, and he lowered his voice and said, "There is a strange smell."

  Conan frowned at the same time: "There is some rancid smell."

   Jiang Xia: "?"

   He followed and sniffed, but he didn't smell anything.

   So let the ghost float over and take a peek inside the couple's bags.

   After confirming the guess, Jiang Xia also echoed like a serious detective: "It's like blood that's been released for a while."

   "Blood?!" Mao Lilan got goosebumps silently, she first glanced back at the client, the recognized assassination target of the silver fox.

   Seeing that Chao Wenzao was sitting next to him drinking water, and he was not assassinated, the horror was slightly reduced.

   "...What exactly are in their bags?" Mo Lilan recalled the countless thriller novels he had read before, and asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be the head of the mission target?"

   "It shouldn't be." Jiang Xia also whispered back to her, "No one will carry a human head on a mission. And if it is a head, the smell should be stronger."
