Conan’s Corpse Picker

But of course, you can't say this to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia seems to like those children quite a lot. If he knew the truth, he might feel sad about being excluded.

Haihara Ai and Conan made the same decision at the same time. They firmly strangled the truth under the water and smiled: "After all, they are a group of children. It is inevitable to be scared when they see the corpse."

After saying this, for some reason, Jiang Xia looked really sad...perhaps because he saw through their clumsy lies.

Conan observed this change and sighed inwardly: How many times have I said that Jiang Xia is not a dangerous person, why do the three children just not believe it...

Forget it, don’t mention this anymore.

A child's mind is like the sky in June, unpredictable, so why not take a look at the case first.

The three of them were standing next to a meandering river.

Across the river, there is an abandoned building waiting to be demolished.

Conan pointed to the river and then to the building:

"When we were catching fish just now, a remote-controlled boat dragged a balloon and passed quickly through the center of the river. Immediately afterwards, the balloon suddenly burst.

"At that time, I felt a vague reflection on the roof of the building and heard a suspicious sound, so I looked through the binoculars. Then I found that someone on the top of the building was holding a rifle - it was probably that he shot through balloon.

"What's even more suspicious is that there were several suspicious men in black suits and sunglasses standing next to the shooter. They pointed their pistols at the shooter. After the balloon burst, they immediately took away the rifle from the shooter."

Jiang Xia listened to his words and nodded, as if he understood what he meant: "From the top of the building to here, it is about three to four hundred meters by visual inspection. Hitting a high-speed moving balloon from such a long distance is considered a skill." Superb... In other words, looking at it all, someone may have kidnapped a marksman and brought him here today for shooting practice?"

Conan nodded, his expression solemn. Of course, it is impossible to kidnap a sniper just to shoot balloons. They probably intend to kill someone.

Haibara Ai habitually pulled up her hood to cover up her distinctive hair color.

However, this was just a subconscious reaction after hearing the clothing combination of "black suit + sunglasses" - at first, she was a little nervous after hearing Conan describe the appearance of the gunmen. After all, the organization's favorite thing is to wear black. A while ago, the member of the mysterious organization who knew Jiang Xia who passed by her door was also wearing a black suit and sunglasses.

But later, after thinking about it carefully, Haihara Ai felt that this matter had nothing to do with the organization.

——The organization has a dedicated shooting range, so you won’t be reduced to practicing here. Although this area can be called a "wilderness". But no matter how few people there are, they are still outside, which may lead to the plan being exposed. This is undoubtedly a huge difference from the organization's consistent course of action.

In addition, it sounds like the marksman was targeted by criminals for his shooting skills and was coerced into practicing shooting and preparing for assassination.

But the organization is not short of snipers. If you want to assassinate some important person, you can call in a few good snipers at any time to stay on guard. It is impossible to get an unwilling person to come over. The risk is too great.

...In short, after a brief analysis, the identities of this group of people are already relatively obvious.

——Probably some small, messy organization that can’t stand on the stage.

It was precisely because of realizing this that Huiyuan Ai could stand calmly and wait for Jiang Xia to come over. She remembered that Jiang Xia seemed to have the habit of knocking criminals to relieve their stress...

Jiang Xia seems to be quite satisfied with this status quo.

He quickly recovered from the worry that "the children don't seem to like to cause trouble anymore", looked at the building opposite with interest, touched the swing stick inside through his pocket: "Go over and have a look - those people are still there" Are you there?"

"Even if you do this kind of exercise in the countryside, you may be witnessed by passers-by, so they will definitely leave as soon as possible." Conan looked at his watch, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Xia shaking the stick, and his eyes twitched, "Shooting time It's exactly one o'clock at noon, half an hour has passed now. They must be gone."

Jiang Xia nodded slightly disappointed.

Soon, the three of them piled onto Jiang Xia's small motorcycle, walked along the bridge to the other side of the river, and came to the abandoned building.

Then follow the stairs and climb to the rooftop.

The rooftop has also been abandoned for a long time, with thick dust accumulated and various debris such as beer bottles, weeds, and plastic bags scattered on it.

Jiang Xia took a cursory look, and his eyes quickly stopped on the same messy steps - there were a few pieces of cement that fell off, the debris was stacked on top of each other, and the cat ghost got into the cracks without knowing when.

The mermaid, Miyano Akemi and Miss Spider were gathered around, muttering and debating whether to catch the cat or not. Although after signing the contract, the cat will never get lost, but if it runs too far, the psychic owner will have to restart the process to get the cat back to the imprint space, and then release it again... If Jiang Xia forgets, they will be able to escape in a short time. No more cat masturbation.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia suddenly walked over, reached out and picked up the stone, and opened the cracks in the stone.

A calculator is exposed below.

The calculator's screen was still on, with a series of irregular numbers on it. It looked like someone had just rolled their face across the keyboard, or written some complex passwords.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Conan and Haihara Ai were originally looking for possible traces.

Hearing the sound of stones, they turned their heads and looked in the direction of Jiang Xia.

Then they got closer at the same time and looked at the calculator.

"3135134162, there is no gap in between..." Conan stared at this series of numbers, then looked at the calculator, and suddenly an idea flashed, "Could it be the person who was held hostage? I used a telescope to observe the roof of the building. When he was there, he happened to look back and probably saw the reflection on my lenses - if so, this might be a distress signal he left behind."

Hui Yuan Ai nodded and said, "That's it."

But then he was a little confused: "But why does he carry a calculator with him?"

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment. Good question, he wants to know too...

However, if you insist on thinking this way, it is not without explanation.

He put on his gloves, picked up the calculator, and muttered meaningfully: "Maybe there happened to be a calculator at the place of detention, and then the kidnapped marksman came up with a code that could be conveyed with the help of the calculator, so When the robber was not paying attention, he took it and hid it on his body - if he stole a mobile phone, he would be discovered, and if he stole a calculator, fewer and fewer people would use it now, and the kidnapper would probably not notice it if he took it away."
