Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 3008 3012 [Jiang Xia's fans] Asking for monthly tickets (づど)

The three policemen also heard something wrong, but they also felt that the voice was very familiar.

After a moment, Officer Sato remembered: "It must be the gunshots from the hunting grounds. We heard them when we came here in the afternoon... Who is still out hunting so late at night?"

They walked to the railing of the garden restaurant and looked curiously at the other side of the rushing stream under their feet.

She stood on the balcony, looking at the people who had left the table in confusion, and then followed their line of sight to look across: "What happened? I seemed to hear some strange noises just now."

The screenwriter and director had returned at some point, and they started talking to her: "Was that a gunshot?"

"It really does look like it. Did you hear it, too?" the female agent muttered. "I thought I heard it wrongly. After all, if there really were gunshots, He Yi, that guy who loves to watch the fun, would have rushed out long ago..."

As she spoke, she looked towards the actor's room next door.

The next moment, the female agent looked at the conspicuous hole in the French window next door, her expression suddenly changed: "Why is there a hole in the window?! It's like... like it was shot through by a bullet!"

"?!" Everyone downstairs was shocked and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

They stood downstairs and shouted a few times towards the room upstairs, but there was no response from the actor.

"Let's go up and take a look." As Jiang Xia spoke, he suddenly pushed open the door leading to the hotel lobby.

With a bang, the door slid back and hit something.

"Mr. Yamaguchi?" Jiang Xia looked at Calvados, who was covering his nose behind the door, and was a little surprised. "What are you doing behind the door? Did you hear the noise outside?"

Calvados: "%￥#..."

Veins popped out on his forehead, but he caught a glimpse of the "new doctor" and the policeman behind Jiang Xia out of the corner of his eye...with the rationality that an adult should have, he could only swallow back what was in his mind.

...Fortunately, although this detective was annoying, he inadvertently gave him a way out.

Under the gaze of everyone, Calvados followed Jiang Xia's words, gritted his teeth and nodded, pretending that he was not eavesdropping behind the door, but just happened to pass by the door when he heard the gunshots and wanted to come out.

As expected, the famous detective did not doubt it. Instead, he explained to him: "There was something wrong with the actor's room, and we were just about to go up to take a look - do you want to join us?"

Calvados, who had wanted to come over for a long time but had no reason to do so, suddenly felt a little less resentful towards Jiang Xia after hearing this.

He nodded reservedly and blended into the group where the goddess was.

Doctor Shinchu: “…”

...This idiot is completely hopeless.

Conan looked at Calvados warily: this guy who always hangs out with vodka is quite bold and doesn't even shy away from the police and detectives... What on earth does he want to do by sneaking in among everyone in the wilderness?

…

The group returned to the hall and ran upstairs without a hitch.

When passing by the front desk, seeing the boss taking a nap at the front desk, Officer Sato woke him up with experience: "Manager, give me Mr. Sunaoka's spare key. Something might have happened to him!"

The producer ran a few steps with them and was already out of breath. At this time, the obese man saw the phone at the front desk and suddenly an idea flashed: "You go upstairs first, I'll call him - maybe he just fell asleep drunk. The landline ringtone is loud, it will definitely wake him up."

It didn't matter if there was one less person going upstairs, so everyone nodded and continued running towards the actor's room.

The store manager didn't come to his senses until then. He subconsciously looked for the key according to the customer's instructions, while scratching his head in confusion: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, but you'd better find the key quickly." The producer dialed the number of Room 301 where the actor was, and lowered his voice:

"The doors in your house are all solid wood. It must be very expensive to repair them. The pretty girl next to Jiang Xia, I saw her on the set. She is really good at kicking doors. At that time, an actor from the crew next door fainted in the room. When she heard the news, she kicked the door off the frame with one kick."

The store manager who was originally struggling to find his keys said: "?!"

…

I walked through the spacious wooden villa all the way to the third floor. Looking into the corridor, I saw the female agent had already walked out of her room.

At this moment, she was casually wearing a coat and was anxiously knocking on the door of Room 301: "Shagang, wake up!"

Jiang Xia came up to her and asked, "You haven't entered yet?"

The female agent sighed: "Once he falls asleep, it's hard to wake him up. He may not have noticed that his room was hit by a stray bullet."

Just after he said a few words, the store manager ran over breathlessly, holding a key in his hand: "Mr. Jiang Xia, this is the spare key for this room."

As he said this, he looked at Mao Lilan warily.

"Dr. Shinde": "......?"

Jiang Xia took the key and opened the door.

As the door opened, a spacious room appeared before everyone.

In the tidy room, a lying person was extremely conspicuous - in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the male actor was motionless, lying on his back with a conspicuous bloody hole on his forehead.

“…”

"ah--!!!"

…

Not long after, with sirens blaring, police cars from Gunma Prefecture arrived and stopped outside the hotel building.

Calvados sat in the corner, suppressing the urge to run, and frowned as he listened to this unpleasant noise.

At this time, a short figure in a suit floated in like a happy butterfly. He glanced around and quickly locked his eyes on one of the people: "Mr. Jiang Xia!"

Conan shuddered when he heard the familiar voice and looked up. When he saw the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced officer, his forehead throbbed: Is there only one police inspector in Gunma County? Why do they always send this confused officer to handle their cases?

Just as he was muttering to himself, he saw Shancuncao grab Jiang Xia's hand and shook it excitedly: "I heard that you were at the scene. I squeezed out two colleagues to grab this case! - Please rest assured, I will definitely use all my police forces to give you the most professional support and the most thoughtful service!"

Conan: “…”

…Star chasers are terrible.
