Corpse collector in Conan

Some people are terrified, some are absent-minded, some are concentrating on solving the case... and some are muttering things that cannot be heard by others.

The two hunters walked away a few steps and huddled together to talk quietly. The bearded man asked the man with glasses, "Where's the video tape?"

The man with glasses was stunned: "How should I know? I didn't kill him."

The bearded man was startled: "I didn't kill him, so where's the belt?"

The two of them stared at each other, stunned for a moment.

After a moment, they came to their senses and looked at the others who were anxious.

"Luckily, I blew up the tunnel in advance. We must not let this group of people leave before we find the belt." The two hunters secretly rejoiced, and then raised their voices to the others:

"Well, what's there to be afraid of? He's just an unarmed murderer who can only hit people with a stick."

Under Calvados's sudden fierce gaze, the two men continued unaware: "Since there is nothing left at the scene, let's hurry back to the villa. My feet are freezing."

The female photographer hesitated: "But, if the murderer is lying in ambush in the villa..."

"Isn't that more exciting?" The two hunters shrugged and turned to walk towards the villa.

After walking a few steps, the bearded man turned around and taunted, "If you don't dare to go back, then you can stay here and spend the night with that unlucky guy who was killed."

The man with glasses laughed: "I hope you won't become a snow girl frozen to death by tomorrow morning."

“…”

Although what he said was unpleasant to hear, I have to admit that there is some truth in it.

Just now, everyone was immersed in the horror of discovering a dead body and had not noticed it. It was suddenly pointed out by the hunter at this moment. Several girls then realized that the temperature was getting lower and lower, and their feet were indeed almost numb from stepping on the snow.

"Then let's go back first."

The three policemen turned their flashlights to the brightest possible level and took a bunch of photos of the corpse.

Then, at Jiang Xia's reminder, they took off the cameras and video cameras from the body and returned to the villa with the others.

…

There is no signal on my cell phone, but luckily there is a landline in the villa.

Mao Lilan walked to the phone as usual and dialed 110. After she finished the call, she put down the receiver and said in surprise, "The phone line was not cut off. The call went through!"

Vermouth: "..."

Poor Angel, he's been tormented by all those cases involving Uzo.

The old lady next to him was more concerned about something else: "What did the police say?"

The female photographer also asked expectantly, "The road should still be intact. Is it just the imagination of those two hunters that the avalanche buried the tunnel?"

Mao Lilan shook her head regretfully: "There was indeed an avalanche around 8 o'clock in the evening. The police said they would arrive as soon as possible, but they can't guarantee the specific time of arrival..."

"Now you believe it, don't you?" The bearded man took off his hat and shook off the snow. He snorted, "Why would I lie to you?"

Officer Sato remembered something and walked quickly to the kitchen counter.

After a moment, she came back with a serious look on her face: "The other chocolates are still there, only Miss Ako's piece is gone."

The female photographer sighed upon hearing this, turned around and patted the panicked short-haired woman: "Who on earth is so outrageous that not only did they kill Yazi's boyfriend, they even wanted to frame her."

This question was difficult to answer in the short term, so the three policemen didn't dwell on it too much.

They came to the table and, together with Jiang Xia, checked the cameras and video cameras taken from the deceased.

Officer Sato felt a little guilty as he fiddled with the two electronic devices with gloves on. This was actually tampering with evidence, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures had to be taken.

"Since the murderer faked the time of death by 'putting goggles on the deceased', it means that he is very likely hiding in Fukito Villa, or even someone here - if we don't catch him as soon as possible, what if he kills someone again tonight?"

Officer Shiratori saw her concerns and spoke kindly. He then looked out the window at the strong wind and sighed, "This blizzard villa, isolated from the city, really gives people a bad feeling that the storm is not over yet."

——After all, in novels or movies, such places are often the holy lands of mass annihilation. And now there are so many people in the villa, if they all die... things will be troublesome.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing his sigh, the three women present quietly turned their eyes over.

Jiang Xia knocked on the table, interrupting the conversation: "Let's see what's inside first."

"Okay!" Officer Takagi rolled up his sleeves and said with some anticipation, "It would be great if we could take a picture of the murderer's face."

Officer Shiratori checked the camera. He opened the film cover and looked inside. "The camera does show signs of use. This roll of film has been used up. Unfortunately, there is no place to develop the photos here."

Hearing this, the female photographer recovered a little from the grief of her acquaintance’s death. She volunteered, “I can develop photos, and I have the corresponding equipment here. Eryuan is impatient, and every time he takes photos of what looks like wild wolves, he can’t wait to go to the city to develop them. So every time we come to this villa, we bring everything with us and develop the photos right after we take them.”

"Really?" The three policemen asked in surprise, "Thank you for your help."

The female photographer took the film and said to the old woman, "I'll use the restroom here. It can be used as a darkroom."

Officer Sato looked at the film in her hand and remembered that this enthusiastic lady was actually one of the suspects. She stood up and followed her with some concern: "I'll help you."

Their figures quickly disappeared into the toilet.

Next to them, two hunters gathered together and whispered for a while. Finally, they seemed to have made some kind of decision and walked towards Jiang Xia and the others.

"You only brought back a video camera and a camera?" The hunters seemed a little dissatisfied with the police and detectives. "Why didn't you check his bag? Maybe he put the used tapes and films in the bag."

"I've already checked it." Although the two spoke in a bad tone, the content of their words seemed to be a kind reminder, so Officer Takagi politely replied:

"There were indeed some spare videotapes and films in the deceased's bag, but they were all unopened. In order to avoid disturbing the scene, we did not search too much."

"Are they all new?" The bearded hunter frowned in confusion. "In other words, that unlucky guy was killed without taking any video?"
