Corpse collector in Conan

Chapter 3038 3042 [Tracking] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)

The Shikoku dog lay under his hands, with an innocent and confused expression: "Woof?"

Jiang Xia: “…”

The mermaid rubbed her tail that was hit with an unhappy look on her face, and suddenly became the same size as a human. She flipped in the air and suddenly leaned in front of the Shikoku dog.

The dog was so scared that its hair stood up, it howled in fear, turned around and ran away.

The mermaid chased for a while in a boastful manner, then suddenly realized something. She looked up in surprise, and after she came to her senses, she waved to Jiang Xia excitedly.

Jiang Xia was stunned: Have you found the breath of that ghost?

He followed the mermaid's gaze and found that that was the direction of the villa.

"Did he run back into the house?"

Thinking of this, he followed the mermaid and ran quickly towards the villa.

Twenty or thirty meters away, behind a hidden tree.

Curacao was secretly recording the video and thinking about how much this thing could be sold for. When she looked up, she suddenly found Jiang Xia rushing towards her: "?!"

She quickly put away her phone, rolled over, and with the same agility she normally used to sneak into the ventilation duct of a building... rolled into a bunker that she had prepared a long time ago.

She held her breath and hid in the howling cold wind. Not long after, she felt a figure passing by and running towards the villa.

"... not looking for me?" Curacao was a little confused at first, then nodded: That's what she said, she is a professional in tracking. Especially in this kind of bad weather suitable for tracking, there is no reason for her to be discovered by Uzo.

She was about to follow, but suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind and Curacao stopped.

"What if Wuzo just felt that someone was following him but didn't find the exact location of the stalker, so he used this method to lure me out?"

...Given Uzo's cunningness, this kind of thing seems more and more likely the more you think about it.

After hesitating for a moment, Curacao did not act rashly. She was alert to the surrounding environment and listened carefully, trying to determine what was happening in Jiang Xia's direction.

…

And a little further back.

Another tracker tripped over a hidden tree root in the snow. He stood up and shook off the snow on his hat and goggles, cursing his bad luck. At this moment, he suddenly noticed something unusual ahead.

When I looked up, I saw a figure turning around and running straight towards me.

After a moment of shock, Calvados instinctively dodged and hid behind a tree.

The cold wind was howling, and the figure was getting closer and closer. When he finally got close enough, Calvados took a closer look and was suddenly stunned.

"Why is it Jiang Xia?" He was surprised. "Where is my gun? Where did that female lawyer go?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia, who was passing by the tree, suddenly stopped and looked at the ground a few meters away.

Calvados' heart instinctively skipped a beat, but then he secretly laughed at himself for making a fuss - there was nothing to be afraid of for an ordinary, law-abiding high school student.

"Why don't we just ask him about the whereabouts of that woman?" Calvados was eager to do so, but he was a little hesitant:

"But once that woman knows that I have inquired about her, she might become alert, and I will not be able to get the gun I want."

While he was hesitating, Jiang Xia had already stopped briefly and continued running towards the villa.

The detective's actions seemed to have helped him make the choice.

“…Forget it.” Having missed the best opportunity to call for help, Calvados could only sigh, “I’d better check the situation myself first.”

He moved his gaze away from Jiang Xia's back and looked back at the graveyard: "When I fell just now, what happened in front of me? ... Could it be that Miss Shirai wanted to sneak attack Jiang Xia, but was counterattacked, and Jiang Xia ran back to the villa for help after knocking her out?"

If that's the case, it would be a great opportunity to pick up a gun.

Calvados happily ran in the direction where the female lawyer had just been, but after searching everywhere, he found nothing.

"Where is the person?" He looked around in confusion, and searched again unwillingly, but still could not find anything like "the armed female lawyer who was knocked unconscious by Jiang Xia".

“That’s strange…”

A sniper without a gun could only accept the reality. He sighed and muttered to himself: "I should go back and listen to what Jiang Xia has to say. Only by understanding what happened just now can I find my target as soon as possible."

…

Jiang Xia ran all the way back to the villa and saw a mermaid floating next to the side door with an unhappy look on her face.

——It can be seen that he has lost track again.

However, a ghost fetus that can play hide-and-seek with psychics and numerous ghosts, and successfully escaped twice... sounds even more desirable.

Jiang Xia looked back at the woods, recalling the details of the tracking along the way.

Just as he was thinking, the door suddenly opened and a child came out from the side door. He looked up at him in surprise and said, "Why are you here? I thought it was a dog."

"..." Jiang Xia knocked on his head, and his slightly fluctuating mood calmed down a lot.

While Conan was covering his head and grimacing, Jiang Xia walked to the corner of the side of the house, leaned over, and picked up a round-looking Shikoku dog from the corner.

"That's it!" Conan was excited at first, then he realized something, his heart skipped a beat, and the joy just now disappeared, "You, you also know what's going on?"

…

The two detectives were chatting while holding the dog.

In the villa, the two policemen searched the hunters and returned to the corridor: "They really didn't steal anything from the house."

"I've already said it. We went to the victim's room to look for clues in order to find the murderer. Isn't that what the detectives in the news do?"

As he spoke, the man with glasses raised his hand and pointed out the window. He knew very well that instead of just clearing himself, a better way was to divert the blame to someone else - such as diverting it to the fake person he made up: "Instead of suspecting us, you might as well search the woods. Maybe you can find the suspicious person I mentioned."

The case came to a standstill, and Jiang Xia was not seen for a while. The three policemen looked at each other and had to follow this clue, which was not sure whether it was true or not, and asked in detail: "What does the suspicious person you mentioned look like? What are his characteristics?"

"Didn't I tell you? It was snowing so heavily at night that I couldn't see clearly." The glasses hunter spread his hands. He knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he made. He chose to blur out the details. "I could only vaguely see that the guy was wearing a hat and a scarf. The scarf was pulled high, and his eyes were covered by goggles."

The three policemen imagined this image and were speechless: "Doesn't that mean the face is completely blocked and nothing is exposed?"
