Chapter 493 Suspicious Package
Conan felt uneasy as Amuro Toru stared at him.
He moved behind Jiang Xia's legs, and then moved behind the novelist as if nothing had happened: Is it an illusion? Why does it feel like Amuro Toru is always looking at him today? And his gaze is quite meaningful... I must be careful to restrain myself in the future, like a real child, otherwise if I reveal my identity as a "fake child" in front of the Black Organization one day, the consequences will be disastrous.
Conan secretly regretted it.
However, thinking about the trendy clothes that Toru Amuro was wearing, he felt a little relieved.
So far, all the members of the Black Organization he had met were dressed in black. Before her death, Akemi Miyano also said that black was the color of the organization.
But Toru Amuro seldom wears black. Does this indirectly indicate that although he is mysterious and does not look like a good person, he is not actually a member of the organization?
Conan simply comforted himself and didn't dare to say anything else for a while, for fear that he might let something slip.
He sat next to Jiangxia and Torakura Etsuko, facing the cave entrance, recalling the suspicious behavior of Amuro Toru so far while waiting for dawn.
…
Half an hour later, the sky finally brightened.
The rain stopped long before sunrise, the dark clouds dispersed, and the morning sun appeared on the horizon.
The weeds, bushes, rocks, etc. on the mountain gradually became clear.
The four people left the cave and looked for a rest stop in the mountains based on their impression of where they came from last night.
Finally, after passing through a forest, the sturdy wooden house finally appeared in front of us.
The wooden house looked quite peaceful, the doors and windows were intact, and there was no corpse or anything like that lying at the door.
The three people saw this peaceful scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
However, before he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, a terrified scream suddenly rang out from within the wooden house.
...It was Ran Mouri’s voice.
After a moment of shock, Jiang Xia rushed towards the cabin with the other two detectives.
He looked slightly anxious, but his heart was very calm.
…According to his experience, when Maori-san is actually attacked, he usually doesn’t scream.
And the scream just now, full of energy and with a long aftertaste, was the sound of someone being frightened after seeing a corpse...
What's more, there is a dedicated ghost clinging to Ran Mouri at this moment - a precious classmate with top-level event physique, so of course she must be well protected.
After Jiang Xia chased Amuro Toru and Torakura Etsuko away last night, everyone in the rest stop except Mao Li Ran was either exuding murderous intent or was a shikigami.
Taking into account the occasional behavior of Mao Li Ran, Jiang Xia left some puppet clay in the cabin and threw a clever ghost on Mao Li Ran.
In this way, if anything goes wrong, he can always show up at the rest stop in his vest - although Jiang Xia and the others seemed to have chased Torakura Etsuko for a long distance last night, that was mainly because of the complex terrain in the mountains. In fact, the straight-line distance between the cave and the rest stop is not far, so the information delay is naturally not high.
…
Four people followed the screams, ran into the rest stop, and slammed the door open.
Then I saw Mao Lilan standing at the door with a terrified look on her face.
Apart from looking a little scared, she was indeed unharmed.
When Mao Lilan heard the door open, she turned around and saw her companions gathered outside the door, and her panic was slightly relieved.
She was using her cell phone at the time, but found there was no signal and she couldn't call the police, so she put her phone away hesitantly and carefully raised her hand to point forward.
It was very frustrating when I couldn't get through to 110. Fortunately, the detectives arrived soon...
Jiang Xia entered this small hut that looked like a poisonous insect farm, looked in the direction Mao Lilan pointed, and saw a person lying in front of him.
——The woman in the couple was lying on the ground with a knife stuck in her back. She was motionless and dead.
Jiang Xia walked to her side, squatted down to check the fatal wound, and picked up the murderous aura that dropped after her death.
The shikigami created by the woman was not in the house. It probably left by grabbing the murderer's leg.
…
After a simple inspection.
Jiang Xia glanced at the approaching Amuro Toru and analyzed with a little bit of personal opinion: "From the perspective of the slanted blade, if she was attacked from behind, the attacker might be a left-handed person who is left-handed."
When Toru Amuro heard the word "left-handed", he subconsciously glanced at the male college student lying dead in the corner - he remembered that this man was left-handed.
But considering his wounds, it's unlikely that he can get up and kill someone...
So Toru Amuro turned his gaze back and said, "It's possible that the attacker was Silver Fox. Also... if a right-handed person hugged the deceased from the front and stabbed him from behind with his right hand, this tilted angle would also be created."
Jiang Xia said "hmm", a little disappointed.
When it comes to "left-handed" this time, Toru Amuro didn't show any murderous intent...
It seems that keywords don’t always work. If I want to get a lot of high-end murderous aura with a coffee flavor, I still have to find Shuichi Akai... Why hasn’t this FBI shown up yet? Has he developed the habit of slacking off after being undercover in the organization for so many years?
Conan suddenly noticed something.
He moved closer to the body and looked closely at the dead man's hands:
"There are some wool fibers hanging on her nails. This color... belongs to the man she was with before! Oh, and if it was her husband who suddenly attacked her, then it is indeed possible that she was stabbed in the back while hugging, just like Amuro-nii said."
After reasoning instinctively, Conan remembered that Toru Amuro had just been staring at and observing him.
He felt a chill on his back and awkwardly said, "No wonder Brother Jiang Xia has been staring at her fingers. There really is a key clue here, ahaha."
“…”
Toru Amuro didn't have any special reaction to this.
In his mind, Conan's suspicion level has already reached its maximum. Whether he makes up for it now or not, the result will be the same. He just has to wait for Yuya Kazami to check the household registration and find out the result.
Amuro Toru silently turned his eyes away from Conan and looked around the empty rest stop: "Where are the others?"
Mao Lilan said: "After you rushed out, someone said that the mountain was very dangerous and suggested that we split up to find you. I walked for a while, accidentally got lost and went back to where I came from, and vaguely heard some movement in the house. When I came back, I saw..."
Her eyes rested on the dead woman and she sighed.
Jiang Xia also sighed. How could such a person with poor sense of direction dare to go into the mountains to look for someone... Fortunately, Mao Lilan was lucky enough and she got back to the starting point in a daze.
He looked at the corner where the luggage was piled: "A backpack is missing."
——The mountain climbing couple originally carried a pair of couple bags, one blue and one red, which were stacked side by side next to their bedding.
But at this time, the blue bag disappeared, leaving only a pink one.
Combined with the wool on the dead woman's hand...
"The man must have killed her and then fled with the bag." Conan remembered that when couples were on the road, they carefully covered their bags and did not dare to let others see what was inside the bags.
