Chapter 486: Examples of Wrong Pickup Methods
The enthusiastic male college student was walking in the front, but he looked back at Jiang Xia and his group and slowed down his pace on his own initiative.
When Jiang Xia was talking to Mao Lilan, he deliberately did not conceal his volume.
There were also a few people nearby who were preparing to climb the mountain. They looked over at them when they heard what was happening.
Seeing this, the very friendly Mao Lilan suppressed her nervousness, smiled, and nodded and greeted the people who looked over as naturally as possible.
——According to what Jiang Xia said before, among these people, there might be the killer codenamed "Silver Fox"... Phew, it's really scary to think about it. She repeatedly simulated various offensive and defensive moves in her mind and secretly clenched her fists.
The mountaineering tourists had no idea what was going on in this lovely girl's mind, they only saw a sunny and cheerful high school girl, so they nodded in response in a friendly manner.
Upon seeing this, the client Chao Wenzao took the opportunity to walk up to them, pretending to be a fellow climber with a connection, intending to go up the mountain together later.
At this time, a male college student next to him also came over and said to Mao Lilan enthusiastically:
"You look like a newbie? I climb this mountain regularly every year and am familiar with the environment here. If you...are worried about getting lost, you can follow me."
"..." Conan glanced at him dimly, relying on the fact that he was a child, he stretched out his hand and pushed him away, "Don't bother, we know the way well." Then he pulled Jiang Xia over, "Right, Jiang...Brother Dong."
Halfway through his words, Conan, who was soaked in jealousy, finally came to his senses - he couldn't reveal Jiang Xia's identity as a detective, as that would alert the Silver Fox.
But then...
He looked up at Jiang Xia's face, which was covered with a hat and a mask, and sighed sadly. This wouldn't be a good way to ward off peach blossoms... Could it be that he could only rely on his own efforts today?
Just as I was thinking about it, another person came over.
Judging from his figure, he is still a man.
Conan raised his head in displeasure and was about to push this man away.
But soon, he discovered that this was an acquaintance.
The man had a few golden hairs showing on the edge of his hat, dark skin, and darker facial features than the average Asian - he was the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.
“…”
Jiang Xia didn't say that he, the boss, would come...
Conan looked at Jiang Xia in confusion and saw that Jiang Xia seemed quite surprised as well.
Just like the client just now, Toru Amuro pretended to be a passerby who came to say hello.
He walked over and casually explained the reason for his sudden appearance today, and whispered: "I stopped by the client's physical examination place and found that he was not misdiagnosed. There may be something wrong with this person. I happened to be free today, so I came to take a look together."
Conan: “…”
After finding out that there was something wrong with the client, why didn't he just call Jiang Xia and tell him, but instead came here and launched a surprise attack?
...The boss Jiang Xia is jumping back and forth between "suspicious" and "maybe a good person" every day.
Conan silently added the name "Toru Amuro" to his observation list for today.
At the same time, he turned to look at Jiang Xia: Jiang Xia would definitely notice the abnormality of Amuro Toru's behavior.
However, Jiang Xia didn't seem to mind it at all. On the contrary, there was suddenly one more person in the travel team, and his mood was actually slightly better than before: "So that's how it is."
Conan: “?”
Jiang Xia couldn't have failed to notice the problem. His reaction now... Could it be that Boss Amuro had often concealed information in the past?
The mysterious and scumbag boss...
His vigilance towards Amuro Toru increased again.
…
Jiang Xia didn't pay much attention to Conan's secret observation.
Amuro Toru looked down thoughtfully.
Seeing that Amuro Toru seemed to be quite concerned about his two classmates, Jiang Xia explained, "I happened to meet them when I went to buy mountaineering equipment yesterday. They said they wanted to come over and take a look."
"Hmm..." Toru Amuro looked at the skinny girl and the child who was not even as tall as an adult's legs, and originally wanted to say: It would be very dangerous to involve them.
But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered the solid wooden railing that was cracked by Mao Lilan's kick in the air at the Beika Art Theater not long ago, and he fell silent again.
……never mind.
When Jiang Xia was talking to his classmate just now, his voice was louder than usual. Strangers might not notice it, but it was obvious to acquaintances. This showed that Jiang Xia must have told the two companions about the purpose of their mountain climbing and the dangers of mountain climbing, rather than just kidnapping two innocent people as a cover.
And these two innocent people don't seem as weak as they look...
Amuro Toru didn't think about it anymore.
Seeing the client approaching, he got to the point:
"Silver Fox's whereabouts are secretive and he is also very good at anti-tracking. There is not much information about him, and it is not even clear whether he is a man or a woman. We can only judge that he is left-handed based on the traces at his previous assassination scenes. Moreover, compared with guns and bombs, he seems to prefer traditional assassination methods, using knives, throwing knives, bows and crossbows, etc...."
When he said the last sentence, Toru Amuro glanced at the client, Bunzo Ushio, and obviously remembered the incident with the sniper rifle yesterday - this was inconsistent with Silver Fox's usual method.
Chao Wenzhao noticed his gaze, looked away, and snorted coldly:
"Maybe Silver Fox just suddenly wanted to develop a new assassination method. Also, maybe he has killed people with guns before, but those who died from gunshots were not counted in his name, and became unsolved cases, so people have the illusion that he only uses cold weapons... I hope he doesn't like to use guns. In a place like this, sniper rifles are too difficult to defend against."
As he spoke, he took a quick look at the dense trees on the mountain, but quickly shifted his gaze to other tourists preparing to climb the mountain, trying to find out who was the "Silver Fox" among them.
The three detectives glanced at him but didn't delve into the suspicious matter in front of him.
"Speaking of left-handed people..." Conan remembered the clues just provided by Amuro Toru, and suddenly had a suspect.
He looked at the male college student who had just come over to talk to him about seven or eight meters away, frowned and whispered, "That person is left-handed."
Jiang Xia looked over there.
The male college student who was said to come to climb the mountain regularly every year seemed to feel that the weather was not right. At this time, he was standing next to the landline of the mountain entrance management office, dialing the rest stop on the mountain to inquire about the situation.
When dialing, he held the receiver in his right hand and pressed the keys with his left hand - he was indeed left-handed as Conan said.
but……
Jiang Xia glanced at Conan silently, feeling that Kudo's reasoning this time was mixed with personal opinions.
But thinking about the ghosts hanging on his body, many of which were picked up from Conan, Jiang Xia nodded approvingly: "Then pay more attention to him when you go up the mountain later."
"Yeah." Conan's eyes had been fixed on the male college student and he had begun to pay attention.
However, after watching for a short while, another person came over.
