Late at night, seeing people rushing into the hotel and hearing the news that they called the police, Toru Amuro felt the increasingly chaotic scene and had mixed emotions.
...He has been fishing for a week. And now, for a Bourbon who is doing tasks for the organization, this is actually not a good time for the police to get involved.
However, if the police are confused enough...
Tohru Amuro thought of the police officer named Yamamura Cao in Gunma County.
If such a person can behave like this, then other police officers in this county may also be half-hearted.
…
Although this maple forest is located in a mountainous area, it is not far from the city.
The police arrived shortly after.
Toru Amuro was observing secretly when he suddenly saw a few people he knew walking over from the hall.
——Although it is already late at night, Mouri Kogoro was trapped in a car in a storm last night, and his schedule has been reversed. He has not adjusted yet. He, his daughter and Conan were just preparing to take a rest, but several people were injured due to various reasons.
, none of them could sleep.
Now the squeaking sound of the police car came from the window, and the three people's ears twitched, and they put on their clothes and ran down. Next door, "Belmod" disguised as Suzuki Sonoko also opened his eyes alertly and went down to the hall.
In an instant, the place was occupied by Jiang Xia's acquaintances.
Toru Amuro: "..."
However, on second thought, what does Jiang Xia’s acquaintance have to do with him?
The isolation observation is over, it’s just some people I know...
Toru Amuro took a leisurely sip of coffee. The mission of observing Jiang Xia was coming to an end, and the free air was so beautiful.
…
As a detective and former detective, Mouri Kogoro always wants to get involved in cases he encounters. And now, he happens to have a junior next to him who is good at solving cases.
In Mouri Kogoro's view, Jiang Xia must look more reliable than these sleepy-eyed local policemen, and Jiang Xia should also be planning to go up the mountain to take a look. This is the curiosity of all detectives.
When he turned around, he found Jiang Xia with her back to him, sitting on a wicker chair in the corner of the hall, with no intention of getting up.
"Suzuki Sonoko"'s eyes have already fallen there.
Curiously, she walked around to take a look at the front of Jiang Xia, and found that the young detective had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, so she made a silent gesture to Kogoro Mori, who was about to shout "Jiang Xia, let's go!" and sighed in her heart.
He took a breath. Jiang Xia was probably really tired. These days, in order to plot Bourbon... well, in order to deal with Bourbon's provocation, he spent too much unnecessary energy.
While thinking about it, she glanced to the side, and then frowned.
Bourbon himself looked radiant and seemed to have slept well. Oh, this intelligence agent seemed to be working in various places, which must also include places open at night such as bars and clubs. Seeing that Bourbon had dragged Jiang Xia in just now
The waiting posture in the lobby is probably because he wants to consume Jiang Xia's energy in his area of staying up late, which he is good at?
...a rough, insidious, but unexpectedly useful strategy.
Tohru Amuro didn't notice the murderous and condemning look in Bermod's eyes.
At this time, he was also looking at Jiang Xia, wondering in his heart - Jiang Xia had a good rest along the way. When he was driving, Jiang Xia was catching up on her sleep in the passenger seat. Why did she fall asleep after staying up so late at night?... Could it be that these days?
You sleep too much, so you get used to sleeping for long periods of time?
Toru Amuro looked at Jiang Xia, who was sleeping peacefully on the chair, and then thought about the days when he couldn't sleep a few days ago. He felt complicated for a moment, and coldly walked over to shake the person awake.
...It's not that he was quarreling with the child, but in front of Bellmode, Bourbon would not considerately let Jiang Xia abandon the mission and continue to sleep because "the subordinates were sleeping".
It's not okay to indulge peripheral members like this. Bourbon is not that kind of person...
…
at the same time.
Thousands of meters away, in a dark maple forest.
Jiang Xia, who was driving Matsuda's puppet, increased the intensity of the whipping, and used three times the speed to remove all the murderous energy from the last source of murderous energy.
Then he threw away the belt he had seized, walked to a corner where no one was watching, scattered the puppet, and returned his consciousness to his true body.
As early as when the alarm sounded in the hotel, the ghost staying next to the main body told him the relevant news.
It's just that the distance between the two sides is a bit far, and there will be a slight delay in the transmission of this kind of news. In addition, the withdrawal has already begun, and it would be as uncomfortable as peeling an orange with only half of it, so he delayed for a while.
A little while.
Fortunately, he did stay up late today, so his reaction was slower, which is normal...
Ten seconds later.
In the Red Tree Hotel, Jiang Xia opened her eyes and looked around.
A group of people saw him "wake up" and briefly told him about the current situation in the hotel and the fact that a camper had found a body. It was true that no one raised any suspicion about the situation. After all, "a man lying in front of them was sleeping."
"People are actually knocking people in the mountains", no one would believe it if I told him.
Jiang Xia showed the expected expression of surprise and curiosity about the scene, and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Then he mixed with them and went up the mountain with a few gossips.
There was a sudden murder happening around. How could the detective not go and take a look? Even though he was already familiar with that mountain, he was very familiar with it...
…
Once again, we came to the filming location, where red handkerchiefs and maple leaves were floating all over the forest.
The previous assistant director of "Winter Maple Red", the man who asked them to help leave a message on the hotel guestbook, has now turned into a corpse.
He fell motionless under the tree, next to the police who were setting up lights.
As Jiang Xia approached, she found a handbook lying quietly among the dead leaves on the ground, half buried by the leaves rolling in the wind.
The notebook is dark and very inconspicuous at night.
He remembered that he and Tohru Amuro had just peeped on the mountain and saw the deceased holding a notebook before he died. He bent down and picked up the notebook.
As of now, Jiang Xia has become very proficient in finding various clues at the crime scene and collecting them smoothly to avoid the embarrassing situation of "difficult to explain the source of key information" when solving the case - he cannot be like Kudo Arata.
Just like "Conan told me", Conan is Kudo Shinichi's vest, and they are both good friends of the red side. He is not, he can't say "Uzo told me", that would probably make him lose his temper very quickly.
Anonymous police cordoned off the venue, trying to find his precious vest...
In short, it seems that the notebook that the deceased last touched is undoubtedly a note before his death, and it is also an important check-in point.
This is a special schedule book with dates printed in advance.
Cut into the loosest part and open it, and you will see a bloody fingerprint on the place "April 1st". It should be that the deceased grabbed a handful of it at the end.
