Conan’s Corpse Picker

Vermouth held the edge of the quilt and stared at the ceiling, trying to interpret the expression on Jiang Xia's face with ten times more concentration than when she was practicing her acting skills.

"It seems like he saw something interesting... Maybe the murderer who wrote today's script made him have fun? - Some people enjoy high-quality life and services, and of course some people like high-quality toys. Although the scriptwriter made a lot of mistakes this time, overall, it should barely meet Uzo's preferences."

As she thought about it, she got out of bed and rechecked the doors, windows and vents, then she returned to bed vigilantly and very slowly fell into a dream that was not at all sweet.

…

A night passed and nothing happened.

The next morning, everyone had breakfast at the hotel and set out on their journey again.

Vermouth yawned, looked at the mountain road in the distance, and struggled over whether to continue to volunteer to be a driver.

Just then, she saw Jiang Xia waving towards the parking lot on the side and asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Yamaguchi, what happened?"

Mr. Yamaguchi?

It took Vermouth a moment to react and realize that the person calling her was Calvados. She was immediately startled and a bad premonition came over her.

Looking back, she realized that in addition to their group, there was another person in the corner of the parking lot - Calvados was standing next to his car with a gloomy face. His car was tilted slightly, and one of the tires was completely flat.

The innkeeper who was seeing the guests off also looked in the direction Jiang Xia greeted him, and discovered this terrible scene.

"Oh my, such a thing actually happened!" The hotel owner slapped his forehead in embarrassment, "Who did it? There is no surveillance in our parking lot..."

Officer Sato thought of the arrow that almost pierced "Dr. Shinide" yesterday, and thought of the hunting management center that was easily stolen, and could not help but be silent for a moment: "..." The equipment of this hotel is not complete, and it will probably be sealed off if it is carefully checked.

While the police were in mixed emotions, the person involved, Calvados, was in even more mixed emotions.

The sniper took a deep breath and suddenly found that his temper was much better than before. If he had met such a bad boss a month ago, he would never have let him go. But now...

He just asked calmly and calmly: "Do you have a spare tire?"

"Yes, yes." The innkeeper came to his senses, "I'll get it right away!"

He ran quickly to the warehouse.

"Let's get in the car too." The "new doctor" suggested, "The mountain road is not easy to drive on, it's safer to start early."

Everyone agreed and got on the bus with their luggage.

However, there were too many people, and everyone was chatting and laughing, taking their time, with the relaxation of traveling. It took quite a while just to get on the bus.

The "new doctor" looked on anxiously with a smile on his face. Finally, the last person also got on the bus with her small bag.

Everyone is finally here.

Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step on the accelerator. However, at this moment, Suzuki Sonoko touched her pocket and screamed, "I forgot my phone on the sink. Wait a minute, I'll get it!"

Vermouth could only watch her get out of the car and run away: "..."

Not long after Suzuki Sonoko left, the hotel owner ran back from the warehouse.

He said to Calvados with an apologetic look on his face: "The tire in the warehouse is broken too! Oh, look at what this has caused... If I had known there were such people, I should have installed some cameras in the warehouse as well."

Officer Sato, who was leaning against the window, couldn't help but blurt out: "You don't even install cameras in the warehouse?"

The innkeeper smiled and said, "How about I call a tow truck for you?"

Calvados calculated the distance and said angrily, "I'm in a hurry." If he was any later, he would miss Valentine's Day.

In the small bus next to him, the enthusiastic detective asked curiously to this familiar man he had met a few times, "Mr. Yamaguchi, where are you going?"

Calvados immediately found the detective more pleasing to his eyes. He pretended to be embarrassed in front of Vermouth for a while, then responded in a good mood: "Thank you very much."

…

Not long after, Suzuki Sonoko got her phone back.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After Calvados found someone to tow the truck, he did not wait there. He got on the sweet little bus prepared by Inspector Shiratori, and the group of people took the bus and headed towards Fukito Villa along the mountain road.

"Just keep going along this road and you'll be there soon."

Suzuki Sonoko held the chocolate making guide in her hand, thinking about how many pieces to make while happily chatting: "Valentine's Day comes once a year, and this is really something I look forward to."

Calvados sat among them and listened to everyone's conversation along the way. The sniper came to his senses belatedly: the goddess was actually going to Chuidu Villa with this group of people to make Valentine's Day chocolates and celebrate Valentine's Day?

...Why do these people have such an honor?

This immediately made him dislike everyone in the car. Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's happy words, and in order to eliminate potential competitors, he snorted coldly and sang a different tune: "The so-called Valentine's Day is just a gimmick used by businesses for promotion."

Suzuki Sonoko was a little dissatisfied with this illegitimate fan who had spied on Jiang Xia, and she retorted on the spot: "Of course you don't believe it, since you were a child, no one has ever given you chocolate."

“…”

Calvados felt as if he had been shot in the heart. He endured it and did not pull out the non-existent gun. He just gritted his teeth and said:

"It seems that you don't know the origin of Valentine's Day. This holiday originated from Christianity and was to commemorate a devout believer who was tortured to death during the Roman Empire. In addition, in 1929, the famous Valentine's Day Massacre took place in the United States. Are you sure you want to eat those ominous chocolates on such a bloody day?"

Suzuki Sonoko had seen far more deaths than the Valentine's Day Massacre, so she rolled her eyes without much fear: "Its origin in the past doesn't affect the fact that it is a sweet and romantic holiday now - you're such a weird person, aren't you going to Fukito Villa too? If it wasn't for Valentine's Day and chocolate, why did you go there?"

Calvados: “…”

He shut up and said nothing.

Suzuki Sonoko seemed to understand something. She covered her mouth and let out a wicked laugh. She turned to Mouri Ran and whispered to her.

Conan touched his chin and fell into deep thought: Yes, why would a guy who is highly suspected to be a member of the organization go to Fukito Villa?

It's impossible that he really went to make chocolate.
