Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 61 Why don’t you go out and ask for a monthly pass()

  Jiang Xia has no plans for her in other respects, except for the case around Mao Lilan.

  He stopped “Walking in the Rain” because when Maurilan ran around the room, he saw something he shouldn’t be looking at – Ryoichi Takahashi’s half naked body.

   She knew that Ryoichi Takahashi was actually not that fat.

  Although Mao Lilan himself was dazed by the three consecutive shocks of the naked back, he didn’t realize it.

   But Takahashi Ryoichi has a guilty conscience and is currently staring at Maorilan, planning to kill her.

  Maolilan is brave in fights, but she is especially timid. If you meet a bandaged man with a terrifying appearance, your force value will plummet and you will be prone to accidents.

   No matter how you look at it, Jiang Xia could not sit back and watch Mao Lilan get maimed by a bandaged man with an axe.

   And just now, if Mao Lilan agreed to go out for a walk, Takahashi Ryoichi would attack her, and Jiang Xia would have to go out to rescue her in the heavy rain, which would be troublesome.

   It’s better to nip the danger in the bud from the very beginning – don’t go out, let the bandage man squat in the rain.

   Ikeda Chikako originally wanted to take a walk to relieve her dull mood after thinking of Atsuko.

   But just as she walked to the door, she heard Jiang Xia’s call.

  Ikeda Chikako remembered the bugs and snakes in the woods, looked down at her short skirt, silently gave up the trip, and went back to the room to be bored.

  …

   on the roof.

  Takahashi Ryoichi, as an old classmate of the handsome long-haired guy, is very aware of each other’s temperament and hobby of flirting with girls.

   There are only four girls present today, two of them are classmates, and they are not easy to start with. Of the other two high school students, it is obvious that Mao Lilan is more to his taste.

  So after Takahashi Ryoichi climbed to the roof, he secretly went around to the side by the door. He watched the door condescendingly, preparing to wait for Mao Lilan to go out, put on the clothes of the bandaged man, and chase after her to silence her.

   As for Chikako Ikeda… To kill her, you need to prepare some props, and it takes a lot of time to divide the body. Takahashi Ryoichi didn’t plan to do it right away.

   However, Ryoichi Takahashi squatted on the roof for a long time under the heavy rain, but no one came out.

   He thought, that Hei Changzhi High School must be too shy.

  Wait, she will definitely go out.

  Takahashi Ryoichi rubbed his frozen arm with goosebumps and continued to look at it, unwilling to give up.

  …

   Until Ayako Suzuki made dinner and everyone gathered at the table, Ryoichi Takahashi couldn’t wait for the person he wanted to kill.

   He repaired the roof perfunctory, returned to the villa, sneezed several times, and thought angrily, the long-haired old classmate was too weak this time.

  … It seems that the plan can only be postponed temporarily.

   A group of people finished dinner in a peaceful atmosphere, chatted for a while, and went back to their respective rooms to rest.

   Late at night, Ryoichi Takahashi quietly got up.

   He put on the costume of a bandaged man, picked up a heavy axe, and went out to chop down the suspension bridge at the entrance of the villa.

  In this way, everyone must stay in the villa before dawn, so that he can carry out the follow-up murder plan.

   After cutting the suspension bridge, Ryoichi Takahashi returned to the villa and cut the telephone line.

   Then he went straight to the second floor, and listened to the door of Ikeda Chikako for a while, and found that there were some small movements in the room-maybe because Atsuko was mentioned during the day, Ikeda Chikako was confused, and she hadn’t slept yet.

  Takahashi Ryo shoved threatening letters into the crack of the door, knocked lightly on the door, and quickly ducked away.

   Not long after, Chikako Ikeda, who was pinched by the handle, opened the door, slipped out of the room, and went to the woods for an appointment as the letter said.

Takahashi Ryoichi hid in the shadows and found that Ikeda Chikako had changed into long trousers and long sleeves, and even wore a scarf and hat… The bandage man scratched his head in confusion, but soon thought, forget it, it’s not important, Ken Just go out.

   As soon as Ikeda Chikiko left, her room was vacant.

   And this room, which happens to be on the same side as Maurilan’s room, is connected to a long balcony.

   Ikeda Chikako did not have a key to a single room, and did not lock the door when leaving.

  Takahashi Ryoichi smoothly passed through her room and came to the balcony.

   He walked outside Mao Lilan’s room, pushed the floor-to-ceiling window, and found that the window was locked from the inside.

   Kind of cautious, but…

  Takahashi Ryoichi sneered, took out the tools prepared in advance, cut a hole in the glass, then reached in and gently pulled the plug.

  Everything is going according to his plan.

  Tonight, he will achieve a double kill without leaving a trace.

  …

   Jiang Xia was half asleep, and was woken up by Miyano Akemi and Xiaobai.

   This was what he had instructed in advance, so as not to be late for important matters.

  Jiang Xia sat up and woke up: “Takahashi started to silence?”

   Miyano Akemi nodded again and again, she half-floated and half-run to the door, then turned back, a little anxious.

   Akimi Miyano is a criminal who has robbed banks and participated in silence, but she is very kind when dealing with innocent people.

  Jiang Xia wrapped his pajamas and walked out of bed. He picked up the pillow and touched a thick book that looked like a brick, and stuffed it into the pillow.

When    walked to the door of Mao Lilan’s room, Jiang Xia heard anxious voices coming from inside.

  Conan is shouting: “Xiao Lan! Wake up!”

  ——Tonight, Maurilan and Conan slept in the same room.

  Mao Lilan was distracted and slept very hard. Conan was so excited that he fell asleep.

   Therefore, Conan was the first to discover the bandaged man who broke into the room and was trying to wake Maurilan.

   The situation seems a little critical.

   Jiang Xia twisted the doorknob and found that the door was locked. So he stepped back half a step, looked at the structure of the door, then kicked his leg against the side, and the door slammed open.

  In the room, the bandaged man raised his axe high, the blade of the axe slipped through a touch of cold light, and slashed towards the sleeping Mao Lilan.

   Jiang Xia turned on the light, and in the sudden light, he threw the pillow with the book forward.

With a muffled sound, the spine of the book slammed into the bandaged man’s head through a thin layer of cloth, as vicious as a snowball hiding a stone.

  Takahashi Ryoichi was smashed, his head buzzing.

   At this moment, Mao Lilan finally rubbed his eyes and sat up in confusion. After seeing the bandaged man, she burst into a terrified scream.

  Takahashi was so panicked by her call that he couldn’t keep his mouth shut for a while, so he covered his head and rushed back to the balcony, then fled in embarrassment.

  Conan wanted to chase, but when he stood up, he realized that he had stabbed his foot when he was blocking the bandaged man.

  Mao Lilan looked frightened and couldn’t count on it for the time being, but fortunately, there was Jiang Xia next to her.

  Conan looked at this very reliable classmate and reminded expectantly: “That is the bandaged man we saw this afternoon! Hurry up!”

   However, as soon as he finished shouting, he saw Jiang Xia giving him a sluggish look, yawning slowly, and turning his head away again.

  Conan stayed for a while.

  …is this sleepwalking?

   Or like Mao Lilan, just sleepy?

   Originally, at the moment when all three of them dropped the chains and let the dangerous person go, Conan thought he would be very regretful.

   However, in reality, he may have been rescued too many times. At this time, Conan’s first reaction was—Jiang Xia was in such a half-dream and half-awake state. Hearing the change, he even knew that he was going to come and save people… It was very touching.

   However, a dangerous bandaged man suddenly broke into the villa, which is definitely not a good time to be confused.

   You have to wake people up as soon as possible.

  Conan first looked at Mao Lilan and found that she was sitting upright and had no plans to sleep again.

   So Conan dragged his feet again and limped to catch up with Jiang Xia.
