Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 539 The perverted hobby of the Suzuki family asks for a monthly pass (〃)

   Editor-in-chief Doi finished tasting the tea, put down the cup, and began to humbly ask for a manuscript: "Mr. Hucang, I will ask you for the new serial that will be published soon."

   "Wait for me to finish the one I'm working on first." Daisuke Torokura turned to his student Toshiya Tiansuo again, "Take the red wine and movie tapes to the study, this is the source of my inspiration."

After   , he pushed open the door of the corridor and went to the study.

  Tasuo Toshiya nodded in agreement, ready to go to the collection room to get the movie tape.

   Just now, Daisuke Torokura asked him to take guests to visit the collection room.

   So when Tiansuo Junya got up, he invited him: "Would you like to go have a look? The video tapes collected by Mr. Torokura are all out-of-print treasures, which are usually kept in the collection room. In addition to video tapes, there are many other rare collections there."

  Although there is a signal in this villa, the signal is very poor and it is not convenient to play with mobile phones.

  I was idle and idle. Regardless of whether they were interested or not, a group of guests got up and followed.

The    collection room is on the other side of the hall. There is a downward staircase next to the wooden door, which connects to the underground library. Shuichi Hamura, who is engaged in vampire research, is said to come here often because it contains many books related to vampires.

  Others have little interest in literature and go straight to the collection room.

   Compared with Daisuke Torakura's study, the collections in the collection room are larger in size and look more gloomy.

  In addition to crosses, silver swords, wooden nails, etc., there is also a vampire mask that looks like human skin, as well as horrific white hands in a glass showcase.

   Amuro Toru took a closer look as if nothing had happened, and found that his hand was fake, so he straightened up again and looked away with peace of mind.

  In the corner of the collection room, there are two rows of bookshelves high to the ceiling, which are filled with countless vampire-related movie and video tapes.

  Tasuo Shunya took out the movie Torokura Daisuke loved to watch, and introduced to the guests who were paying attention:

   "Teacher Hucang watches a vampire movie every night. This is "Bloody Feast" in 1930. His favorite one-the teacher also bought the props used in the movie at a high price."

   "The prop in "Bloody Feast"...is this cypress wood dowel." Jiang Xia looked at a collection on the table.

The cypress wood pegs were placed vertically on the black brocade-covered storage rack. The length was like a human forearm, one end was sharpened, and a large amount of "blood" was splashed at the tip. It looked like it had been nailed into the heart of a vampire. Pulled out again.

   - At the end of the movie "Bloody Feast", vampires are nailed to the cross by such wooden nails and burned with fire.

  Tasuo Toshiya nodded: "There is also a matching cross in the teacher's study - the one you saw just now."

  “…”

  Suzuki Sonoko looked at the realistic fake blood on the wooden pegs, and remembered the cross that was also stained with "blood" in Daisuke Torakura's study, and stepped back a little in disgust.

   Speaking of which, Daisuke Torokura, a self-proclaimed "Dracula", why did he prepare some vampire hunter props? Strangely unlucky... If my sister hadn't been interested in vampires, she would never have come to this weird man's villa today.

  ...But after thinking about it, I wouldn't be able to meet Jiang Xia if I didn't follow him.

  Suzuki Sonoko thought about it, and couldn't help but deviate from the vampire exhibit.

——The Hucang family's villa is not very big, the guest rooms should be concentrated together, not far from each other... Although she will probably be arranged in the same room with her sister at night, but she can completely excuse her fear and hold the bedding in the middle of the night Run to find Jiang Xia to lay the floor... Or, Jiang Xia is so considerate, maybe when she heard that she was afraid, she took the initiative to run to her room, hehehe...

   Amuro Toru faintly heard laughter.

   Turned his head and saw Sonoko Suzuki, the female classmate who seemed to know Jiang Xia very well, facing a blood-stained cypress wood nail, showing a charming smile full of covetousness and yearning.

   Amuro Toru: "..."

  ...not just that little boy with glasses. The people around Jiang Xia seemed to be strange.

...Speaking of which, the Suzuki family is a wealthy family. If you want to build some kind of secret room or even a dungeon to hide people's eyes and ears, it's as easy as the palm of your hand... Laughing like this at a nail that pierced through a humanoid creature, is there actually something weird in Suzuki Sonoko behind his back? hobby?

  ...I have to ask my subordinates to check this family when I have time.

  …

Although the exhibits in the    collection room are precious, there are not many.

   A group of people went back to the hall after visiting each other with their own thoughts.

  Tasuo Toshihiko finished delivering wine and movies, and found a pair of cards for the guests to play.

  When the cards were shuffled, a person came down the stairs.

  ——Tokura Etsuko, who had just returned to the room to rest, reappeared in front of everyone.

   She looked at Jiang Xia and said warmly, "Thank you for taking care of me when I was in Danyuan Mountain last time. I have prepared a gift, is it convenient to take it with me?"

   At the same time, he blinked secretly, indicating that he had something serious to say.

   Jiang Xia stood up and followed her upstairs.

   Halfway through, he suddenly heard someone behind him.

   Looking back, I saw Toru Amuro also following.

  …

  Amuro Toru is a master of time management with multiple roles, and he has a strong plan in doing things.

   He still remembers the purpose of this business trip to this day—to bring Jiang Xia to a place where he is unfamiliar, and isolate him for observation.

  Although now, the plan has been messed up by numerous cases and acquaintances, but the week has not passed, the final destination has not been reached, and the plan is not over yet. Even for sunk costs, stick to it and get the best and most observable results possible...

Moreover, Amuro always felt that what happened today was too coincidental—the road that was randomly thrown with dice should have met the requirement of "unfamiliarity with life", but in just ten minutes, they encountered three People who know Jiang Xia.

   As an undercover agent who hides beside a group of suspicious people every day, Anshi Tou is inevitably infected with the habits of everyone in the organization and is suspicious of today's events.

  ...have to come and see.

  …

  Tokura Etsuko also found that there was an extra tail at the back.

She glanced back, struggled for a moment, and found that Jiang Xia didn't mean to stop An Shitou. Thinking about it, the mixed-race boss seemed to be a private detective too, and he had never made any negative reports, or to be more precise, there was no harm in the market at all. According to Amuro's related reports, it can be seen that his confidentiality seems to be good...

   So Huokura Etsuko thought: I heard that in addition to talent, experience accumulation is also very important for detectives. Boss Anshi seems to have more experience than Jiang Xia. Since he wants to come, let's go together.

   The three quickly came to her room.

  Torakura Etsuko pushed open the door.

   Waiting for Jiang Xia and An Shitou to enter one after another, she closed the door with her back to the door and locked it.

  …

   Downstairs.

  Suzuki Sonoko went to the bathroom and came back to see that Jiangxia people were gone.

  "?" She looked left and right, and asked her sister suspiciously, "Where's Jiang Xia?"
