Chapter 494 An Example of the Wrong Way to Pick Up a Talk

The enthusiastic male college student was originally walking in the front, but now he looked back at Jiang Xia and his party, and then took the initiative to slow down his pace.

When Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan talked, they deliberately didn't hide their volume.

There were also a few people who were preparing to climb the mountain, and upon hearing this, they glanced at them.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan, who has a high affinity, suppressed the tension in her heart, smiled, and nodded as naturally as possible to greet those who came over.

——According to what Jiang Xia said before, among these people, maybe the killer codenamed "Silver Fox" is hidden... Huh, I'm a little scared when I think about it.She repeatedly simulated various offensive and defensive moves in her mind, and secretly clenched her fists.

The mountaineering travelers didn't know what was going on in this cute girl's mind, but only saw a sunny and cheerful high school girl.They all nodded in a friendly manner.

Seeing this, the client, Chao Wenzao, took the opportunity to walk up to them, pretending to be a destined climber, and planned to go up the mountain together later.

At this time, a male college student next to him also approached, and said enthusiastically to Mao Lilan:

"You look like a novice? I come to climb this mountain regularly every year, and I am familiar with the environment here. If you...you are worried about getting lost, you can follow me later."

"..." Conan glanced at him faintly, relying on the fact that he was a child, he reached out and pushed him away, "Don't bother, we know the way." As he spoke, he dragged Jiang Xia over, "Isn't it Jiang Xia? ...Brother Dong."

Halfway through the conversation, Conan, who was soaked in vinegar, came to his senses—Jiang Xia's identity as a detective should not be exposed, otherwise Silver Fox would be alerted.

But in this way...

He looked up at Jiang Xia's face covered with a hat and a mask, and sighed sadly.It's not easy to use it to block peach blossoms... Could it be that he can only rely on his own efforts today?

Just as he was thinking, another person came by.

Looking at his figure, he was still a man.

Conan raised his head in displeasure, and was about to push this person away as well.

But soon, he discovered that this turned out to be an acquaintance.

A little bit of golden hair was exposed on the edge of the visitor's hat, his skin was darker, and his facial features were deeper than that of ordinary Asians - he was the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.

"..."

Jiang Xia didn't say that his boss would come too...

Conan looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously, and Jiang Xia seemed quite surprised by this too.

Amuro Toru, like the client just now, pretended to be a passerby who came to say hello.

He approached, first casually explained the reason for his sudden appearance today, and said in a low voice: "I stopped by the place where the client had an examination, and found that he was not misdiagnosed. There may be something wrong with this person, and I happen to be fine today. So come and have a look."

Conan: "..."

If there is a problem with the client, why don't you call Jiang Xia directly to tell Jiang Xia, but follow him directly and make a surprise attack?

... Jiang Xia, the boss, jumps back and forth between "suspicious" and "maybe he's a good guy" every day.

Conan silently added the name "Toru Amuro" to his watch list for today.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xia: Jiang Xia would definitely notice Amuro Toru's abnormal behavior.

However, Jiang Xia didn't seem to mind it.On the contrary, suddenly there was one more person in the traveling team, and his mood was slightly better than before: "So that's how it is."

Conan: "?"

Jiang Xia couldn't have missed the problem.His reaction now... Could it be that Boss Amuro used to hide information like this before?

Mysterious scumbag boss...

His vigilance against Amuro Toru was raised again.

……

Jiang Xia didn't pay much attention to Conan's secret observation.

Toru Amuro looked down thoughtfully.

Seeing that Toru Amuro seems to be quite concerned about his two classmates, Jiang Xia explained: "When I went to buy mountaineering equipment yesterday, I happened to meet them, and they said they wanted to come and have a look together."

"Hmm..." Toru Amuro looked at the slender girl and the child who was not as tall as an adult's leg, and originally wanted to say: It would be dangerous to involve them.

But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, in the Mihua Art Theater, the solid wooden railing that was kicked and cracked by Mao Lilan, fell silent again.

……never mind.

When Jiang Xia was talking to his classmates just now, the volume was louder than usual.Strangers may not see it, but it is obvious to acquaintances.This shows that Jiang Xia must have told the purpose of their mountaineering and the danger of climbing the mountain to the two fellow travelers, instead of just abducting two innocent people as cover.

And these two innocent people don't seem to be as weak as they seem...

Amuro Toru didn't think about it any more.

Seeing the client approaching, he turned to the topic:

"'Silver Fox' is secretive and good at anti-tracking. There is not much information about him, and he doesn't even know whether he is male or female. We can only judge from the traces of his previous assassination that he is a left-hander. And compared to guns and bombs , he seems to prefer traditional assassination methods, using knives, throwing knives, crossbows, etc..."

When he said the last sentence, Amuro glanced at the client, Chao Wenzo, obviously remembering what happened with the sniper rifle yesterday - this was inconsistent with Silver Fox's usual method.

Chao Wenzao noticed his gaze, looked away, and snorted coldly:

"Maybe Yinhu just suddenly wanted to develop a new assassination method. Moreover, he may have killed people with guns before, but those who died from gunshots were not counted under his name and became headless cases. It gives people the illusion that he only uses cold weapons... I hope he doesn't like to use guns. In this kind of place, sniper rifles are too difficult to guard against."

As he said that, he briefly looked at the dense trees on the mountain, but quickly looked away, and his eyes fell on other tourists who were about to climb the mountain, trying to find out who the "Silver Fox" was.

The three detectives took one look at him, but did not delve into the suspiciousness in his presence.

"Speaking of left-handers..." Conan recalled the clues provided by Toru Amuro just now, and suddenly had a suspect.

He looked seven or eight meters away, the male college student who came to talk to him just now, frowned and whispered: "That person is left-handed."

Jiang Xia looked along.

The male college student who is said to come to climb the mountain regularly every year seems to feel that the weather is not right. At this time, he is standing next to the landline of the mountain management office, dialing the rest station on the mountain to inquire about the situation.

When dialing, he holds the receiver with his right hand and presses the keys with his left—it is true that, as Conan said, he is left-handed.

but……

Jiang Xia silently glanced at Conan, always feeling that Mr. Kudo's reasoning this time was mixed with private goods.

But thinking about the ghosts hanging on his body, many of them were caught by Conan, Jiang Xia still nodded approvingly: "At that time, pay more attention to him when you go up the mountain."

"Hmm." Conan's eyes had been on the male college student, and he had already begun to pay attention.

However, just after looking at it for a while, another person walked over by the side.
