Chapter 644 Don’t Come Over Here
Jiang Xia stared at himself in the mirror seriously: "Do you think there is a paradise in this world?"
Then he nodded: "Yes."
"What kind of place would that be?"
"have no idea."
"Would you like to go with me to have a look?"
"No."
After skillfully completing the process, since Jiang Xia who activated the skill was rejected by himself, the second result of "Heaven Questions and Answers" was judged to take effect.
His vest suddenly felt numb, and then there was a "swish" sound as several sharp spider legs pierced through his clothes.
In the legend of Miss Spider's hometown, a giant spider transformed into a beautiful woman would stop travelers on the road and ask the three questions just now. If she didn't get the answer she wanted, she would turn back into a spider and tear the unlucky traveler to pieces.
In the legend-related skill "Heaven Questions and Answers", if you are rejected when asking the last question, you will "transform into a spider" and gain eight useful spider legs.
Supported by the characteristics of the ghost fetus, these spider legs are much harder than simple puppet clay.
Jiang Xia squatted down, raised his claws and poked the mud below, and started digging quickly.
Compared with the spider legs of Miss Spider's puppet, the spider legs obtained through skills are less hard, but they are more versatile. After all, Miss Spider's kimono is not very convenient, and it is easy to get caught by the clothes when moving a little bit. I don't know how Miss Spider can move as fast as the wind when she is driving the puppet.
…
After digging out the pottery jar, Jiang Xia carefully filled in the empty hole and cleaned up the mess.
After thinking about it, he simply buried the fallen Dizang in the pit as well.
Afterwards, he left with the pottery jar and buried it in a place he could remember, planning to dig it out and take it back with him the next time he passed by Gunma.
Of course he couldn't take it away now. He was in a hurry to leave this time - Amuro Toru, who came to find him on a "business trip", was still following the principle of complete isolation at that time, and didn't give him a chance to pack his luggage. And if Jiang Xia suddenly had an extra bag on him when he returned... Even if Amuro Toru was slacking off, he couldn't miss this change.
After burying the specialty, Jiang Xia dispersed the puppet and his consciousness returned to his body.
Outside the empty house, heavy rain poured down, and the footprints gradually disappeared.
…
The next morning.
The storm that had been raging all night had stopped in the early morning. The air outside the window was fresh, birds were chirping, and insects were buzzing, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Toru Amuro opened his eyes in this peaceful atmosphere, and his mood soared as he looked at the sunlight coming through the curtains.
Then he got up and packed up, planning to wake up Jiang Xia and go have breakfast.
But when he walked to the pile of bedding lying next to Jiang Xia, Toru Amuro stopped hesitantly.
“…”
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around quietly and walked towards the door.
...Let’s wait for Jiang Xia to wake up and let him eat by himself.
...It's not that he wanted to enjoy the quiet morning. It's that he felt that Jiang Xia had been watched by him for so long, and now that the mission was almost over, he should get used to a free life again, instead of having to be watched even when eating.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro pushed the door open, walked briskly through the corridor, went downstairs, and prepared to go to the restaurant for dinner.
…
The other side.
On the mountain road not far from the hotel.
Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori, carrying several pieces of luggage, walked towards the "Aoiya Hotel" in their sight.
They originally came to "tour the holy land" - Kinoshita Yoko's recent drama is currently on the air, and Maori Kogoro plans to visit the filming location. Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko are also very interested in this and have also made an appointment to meet at the filming location.
There is a shortcut from Tokyo to the filming location, which passes through this mountainous area.
Then Kogoro Mori unfortunately got lost when passing by here.
Later, unfortunately, the car crashed into a car parked in the grass and was forced to break down.
The three of them hid miserably in the car during a sudden storm, and it was not until the second half of the night that they finally contacted a towing company.
However, they were told that there were no available vehicles and that the road conditions were uncertain after the heavy rain, so they might arrive later. After that, the sweet-voiced service staff suggested that they go to a nearby hotel to rest first.
"Damn it, I will never run into a ravine like this again!"
Maori Kogoro glanced at his trouser legs that were soaked by mud and water, and sighed sadly: "When it is time to take a detour, you should take a detour. Although these narrow paths are short, it is too easy to get a flat tire - Tsk, even if mine doesn't get a flat tire, other cars will, and then those unscrupulous car owners will park their cars randomly and harm those who come later..."
Mao Lilan sighed and said, "It's because you refused to follow the mountain road and insisted on going in a straight line through the weeds, which blocked your vision. That's why you crashed into the car... I heard from the rescue team that the owner of the car is also resting in the hotel ahead. If you see him later, don't say such things that will easily get you beaten. It's still a new car."
Conan carried his small schoolbag and tried his best to follow the two people.
On the way, he looked back in the direction he came from, and remembered the car that had a flat tire and was parked on the side of the road and was hit by Kogoro Mouri, and he became distracted.
The car that was extremely unlucky was a white Mazda.
Although the license plate number and the old and new versions were different, and it was obviously not the same car, the style of the car suddenly made Conan associate it with Toru Amuro, whom he had met once before.
Then he remembered Jiang Xia, who had gone out with Amuro Toru and was said to be working on a "highly confidential commission" and had lost contact.
"..." As Jiang Xia lost contact for a longer time, Conan once suspected that the boss Amuro, who was suspected to be related to the anonymous, was secretly doing some kind of human trafficking activity.
Unfortunately, he could not file a case based on his guesses and intuition. Even if he went to Inspector Megure with Kudo Shinichi's voice, he could only get invalid replies like "pay as much attention as possible." Especially after Inspector Megure read the news and found out that Jiang Xia was helping other inspectors with their performance and was always surrounded by police officers even when traveling... Inspector Megure thought that Kudo Shinichi was overthinking and said that compared to Jiang Xia, Kudo seemed to have been missing for a longer time. Was he in trouble and did he need his help?
In the end, Conan had no choice but to give up asking the police for help and try to investigate on his own.
In addition to collecting reports and photos of Jiangxia's case-solving along the way and trying to find a distress signal from them, Conan also told the situation to Hattori Heiji, who called him a few days ago. After Hattori Heiji received the invitation letter from the Twilight Villa, he originally wanted to take Conan to play there, but Conan was traveling with Mouri Ran and the others, so he had to refuse.
However, unexpectedly, Hattori Heiji met Jiangxia in Tottori Prefecture.
