MTL - Conan’s Corpse Picker-Chapter 1494 1494【Second thrust】
Chapter 1494 Chapter 1494【Second stab】
The bag thief: "..." I don't know why the Asian man was so vigilant just now, which caused them to fail. But this time, it's not a big problem!
—The little girl in front of her is weak and easy to talk, completely different from the startled man just now... Victory is just around the corner!
Just as he was thinking, the bag thief froze suddenly.
Someone grabbed his collar from behind, making it difficult for his outstretched hand to get in.
Almost at the same time, a faint voice sounded from behind him:
"Xiao Lan, these two people are in the same gang. One stains your clothes to attract attention, and the other takes the opportunity to steal. I heard that they also have a special name called 'Ice Cream Bandit'."
Pack thief: "..."
Although he couldn't understand what this young man with an Asian face said, but as Jiang Xia's words fell to the ground, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
The next moment, a shadow suddenly fell on him.
The bag thief raised his head stiffly little by little.
I saw that cute female high school student who was poked all over with ice cream turned her head and stared straight at him, her gloomy eyes seemed to be filled with Shura hell.
"drink-!"
Boom—
The surrounding area is quiet.
Jiang Xia stepped back silently, looked at the bag thief who was thrown into the ground, and briefly sympathized for 0.1 second.
He didn't pull out his stick to participate. After all, these two people lack murderous aura, and it's not interesting to beat them. It's better to leave it to Mao Li to exercise.
…
After a while, squirm away with the Ice Cream Bandit and his accomplices.
Mao Lilan clenched her fists and calmed down a little.
But she looked at the ice cream on her body, and she was still very unhappy—anyone with a pile of sticky sweets that could easily attract insects would not be able to go shopping with peace of mind.
Hui Yuanai unpacked a pack of wet wipes, stood on tiptoe and helped her wipe it off: "It's hard to wipe it all off. But I just bought new clothes, why don't you just put them on...or go back to the villa and change them now?"
Mao Lilan didn't go shopping enough yet, and didn't want to spoil the interest of her companions, so she decided to choose the former: "Let's find a place to change clothes."
After finishing speaking, she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up: "Do you want to be together, Xiao Ai?"
"..." Hui Yuanai met her enthusiastic gaze and nodded reservedly, "Whatever you want."
…
Several people found a small park, and Mao Lilan and Hui Yuanai went into the bathroom.
Jiang Xia glanced at the toilet from afar.
Conan found him staring there, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "When I passed by in the morning, there didn't seem to be so many people inside."
Conan listened to the chattering voices in the bathroom, thought of something, and shook the advertisement booklet in his hand:
"There are a few stores near here that have limited sales of clothing. Calculate the time, they just sold out half an hour ago. Maybe the people who bought the clothes couldn't wait to come here to change."
Dr. Ali yawned, and at the same time couldn't help but glanced at Conan: "..." Shinichi really can learn all kinds of knowledge on an equal footing, without any picks, and he can even read the strategy of buying clothes...
…
When Mao Lilan and Hui Yuanai entered the women's bathroom, they were also slightly taken aback, surprised by the sudden increase in people.
"Everyone seems to be here to change clothes." Mao Lilan looked at the tourists carrying various shopping bags in the bathroom, and whispered to Hui Yuanai.
In front of each compartment, there is a line of people.
Two people stood at the back of the line and waited for a while.
Suddenly, at the door of one of the compartments, the woman in the first row slammed the door and said angrily, "It's almost done! I've been waiting for twenty minutes. Are you taking a shower inside?!"
Mao Lilan was taken aback, the man spoke too fast, she couldn't hear clearly: "What's wrong?"
Haihara Ai translated the general content.
Mao Lilan frowned, looking at the still silent door, suddenly had a bad premonition.
After a while, she left the team and ran to the cubicle, sticking to the door, listening to the movement inside.
The grumpy old lady who knocked on the door was taken aback: "What are you doing?"
Mao Lilan gestured and said, "Will the people inside suddenly become seriously ill and faint?"
The tourist's voice subconsciously became softer: "No way..."
Hui Yuanai also followed.
She glanced at the compartment door, tugged on Mao Lilan's skirt, and said after the other party looked down at her, "Tell me to go up and have a look."
Mao Lilan nodded, hugged her, and lifted her up easily.
Hui Yuanai scratched the top of the door, glanced in through the gap between the door and the ceiling, and the corner of his eye jumped:
The good news is that Mao Lilan guessed wrong, there are no acutely ill patients.
The bad news is…
There is a dead body lying in the compartment.
—The black gothic loli who had a relationship with them was sitting on the closed toilet seat at this time, leaning her head against the water tank, dying.
This posture exposed her snow-white neck, and above the neck ring made of black and white lace, there was a deep strangle mark. This should be the cause of death.
"..." Not long after he came out, he has already encountered three cases...
Huiyuan Ai counted with his fingers, sighed faintly, and suddenly wondered whether such a thing as event physique really existed in the world.
At this time, Mao Lilan hugged her again: "How is the situation?"
Hui Yuanai came back to his senses: "It's almost as you guessed."
Maolilan: "!"
She put on a posture and was about to kick open the door and go in to save people.
But before moving his feet, Hui Yuanai pulled him back: "But it's not a sudden attack. It's a bit deeper..."
Hearing this, Mao Lilan suddenly understood something, and her face turned pale: "Could it be..."
Hui Yuanai nodded: "Call Jiang Xia in—the corpse looks like it was strangled to death. Let's not rashly destroy the scene."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Mao Lilan was still buffering, Hui Yuanai turned to look at the tourists next to him.
Then say in English: "The people inside are dead."
"???"
When the tourist thought that he had been waiting at the door of a dead person for twenty minutes, he couldn't help but let out a terrified scream: "Ah—!!"
The next moment when the screams came out.
Two figures rushed in one after the other. It seemed that a primary school student broke in first, and the people behind were arresting him.
Hui Yuanai secretly nodded in relief: There is no need to go out to call for help.
…
In the public toilet.
Jiang Xia listened to Hui Yuanai and turned to look at Mao Lilan.
I saw Mao Lilan looking at the phone with a confused face.
Jiang Xia quickly understood: "Call 999."
"Oh! Okay." Mao Lilan regained consciousness and dialed a brand new alarm call.
As a newcomer, she has become unskilled in calling the police.
But after all, there are many translators around, so it's not a big problem.
Not long after, the siren blew, and a sheriff led a team to come.
…
Nearby snack street.
Inspector Asa has just returned home and is drinking with old friends at a nearby tavern.
