Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 637 While the script is in progress

   "That's right." Hattori Heiji also followed Jiang Xia's line of sight subconsciously and glanced at the door. He didn't see anything unusual, so he looked back, and continued what he said just now, "If it's for inspiration, there's no need to hide newspaper clippings behind clothes... To put it badly, it's like hoping that he's waiting for him to die. Later, the people who packed his bags for him can find these clues."

   Jiang Xia remembered the cute shikigami on the prisoner's leg separated by a wall, and the same cute murderous aura, and said in a normal volume that was enough to float to the door:

   "When I was making a cameo just now, I was chatting with the makeup artist, she said that the atmosphere of the crew is relatively relaxed, and many people are old friends who have known each other for many years.

   "Perhaps the dead screenwriter noticed some anomalies around him and found that the continuous theft of artworks was related to acquaintances in the crew, so he secretly used the script to insinuate reality. He wanted the prisoners to see the situation and surrender themselves.

   "However, it seems that things have not gone in the direction the screenwriter expected. The screenwriter may have felt a threat to his life, so he suddenly left the crew. After that, he worriedly went to observe near the set, but unfortunately died..."

   These words floated out of the open door, intermittently to the crew in the hallway.

The two of them snorted and looked at each other silently. For a moment, they wanted to suspect that the detective in the room had sneaked into their crew ahead of time, and hid in the corner and observed it in secret for a few days—the real situation was what Jiang Xia said. There is no difference, he actually seems to have seen those things with his own eyes.

"..." is also a person in the entertainment industry. In the eyes of the crew, the "advantages" of many celebrities are questionable - especially those celebrities who seem to have commercial value on the outside, maybe they are deliberately packaged by some companies The cash cow that came out.

Before, they had some doubts about Jiang Xia, a young detective who became too hot. When they were joking in private, they also said that if they wanted to kill someone one day, they might invite Jiang Xia to the scene and be sent a message by this detective who might have a high water content. A "good guy card".

   However, now it seems...

  …

   "Secretly use the script to insinuate reality?" Yuan Shan and Ye just took advantage of the chaos to ask for a script.

   Hearing Jiang Xia's words at this time, she subconsciously turned the booklet in her hand to the part where the murder happened:

"I remember that in the script of the second episode, there was a second deceased person - he was a spy hired by Nagasaki, and before his death, the word "nine" was written on the soil scattered in the flower pot as a death message. In addition, when the witnesses found the body this time, there was another 'Azhen' haunting..."

   The "A Zhen" in the script is exactly the one that Jiang Xia guest starred in.

   In the first episode, this character was just a natural passerby who ran over and pulled out a knife to check after encountering the murder scene.

   But in the second episode, as the role increased, "Azhen" transformed into a mysterious riddleman.

   "'Azhen' should be the clue that the deceased really left behind." Jiang Xia's eyes also fell on the script in Yuanshan and Ye's hands:

"The deceased was attacked near the campus. If he had been hiding around before, then he might have found out that the guest star of 'Azhen' had become me. He kept pointing at me before he died, probably because of this. "

   After a few words to relieve his suspicions.

  Jiang Xia felt the murderous aura of the two groups getting stronger and stronger as the reasoning progress bar moved back, and his mood improved, and secretly dialed the progress faster:

"Since 'Azhen' is the center of the mystery, there must be a lot of clues hidden in the part about her in the script - such as this sentence. She and the protagonist walked to the lake and said 'there are monsters living here in summer. However, it is not necessary to Worry, strong things also have weaknesses, and this monster's weakness is its nose'."

   In a suspense drama, this line has a rather strange style of painting.

   However, considering that the main purpose of the deceased to create this script is to provide clues to others. Considering that the setting of "Azhen" was originally a riddle... In short, the content of the words is obviously more worthy of attention than the style of painting.

"'Lakeside'... Speaking of which, there is a relatively famous scenic lake in the north of Chifeng University. The surrounding environment is very similar to the environment described in the script - street trees, stone river embankments, and quaint landscapes across the water. Stone Bridge..."

   Hattori Heiji recalled the situation of the scenic lake - there were a lot of people passing by the lake, and the school workers regularly repaired and cleaned it, and it was connected to the river, and the water flow inside was not slow, it seemed that it was not suitable for hiding important clues.

   If it is really hidden, then the "Monster's Nose" must be a hint about the location of the treasure. It's just that Hattori Heiji was not familiar with Chitoyo University, and he just glanced at Scenic Lake when he passed by, and couldn't think of a nose.

   However, as a high school student detective who gets enough sleep, Hattori Heiji has always been strong in action.

   If you can’t think of it, then don’t think about it, just go to find it: “Let’s go and have a look.”

   "We can only do this first." Jiang Xia nodded, "Besides, there seem to be several other lakes nearby. Let's go and look for them separately."

   Hattori Heiji has a rare chance to solve the case with Jiang Xia simultaneously. After finding the next clue, he quickly left the hotel. I was always worried that if I slowed down, Jiang Xia's lines would suddenly come from behind him, "Wait, don't go, I thought about it, the murderer should be xxx"... Although to the police, this sentence clearly means "Working overtime." It's about to end" is very popular, but as a detective who focuses on the experience of solving cases, Hattori Heiji's scalp is already tingling with similar statements, and he doesn't want to hear it at all.

   Yuan Shan and Ye also ran out.

   Before she left the room, she remembered something, and when she looked back, she found that Jiang Xia was still in the room and didn't move.

   She wondered: "Aren't you going?"

   Jiang Xia shook his head, as if he was thinking: "I always feel like I'm missing something... I'll think about it again, you guys go first."

   "Okay." Yuanshan and Ye Wuxue nodded sharply and quickly disappeared at the door.

  …

   At this time, it has been a long time since the screenwriter's body was found.

   The crowd of melon eaters who watched the excitement had already returned to their respective houses, and some of the crew members also went back to their rooms to rest; some overheard their conversation just now, and joined the fun to find the surrounding lake.

   In addition, there are a few sporadic people who stayed nearby, as if they didn't know what to do for a while, so they had to follow the police and detectives to find the backbone.

  Jiang Xia circled the room a few times with two obscure gazes.

   Then, as if he had suddenly thought of a key clue, he walked out of the hotel with a "sudden realization" expression, which he learned from Kudo Shinichi.
