Chapter 495 You look familiar

Conan: "..."

Xiaolan's attraction is too great. She just nodded, not counting Amuro, so many people came to chat up... Conan had to temporarily stop staring at the male college student, rolled his eyes for half a month, and looked up at the newcomer.

Then he was slightly startled.

Contrary to what he thought, the person who came over this time turned out to be a woman.

The woman was wearing a brown fleece, with long curly hair of the same color, and was slender.

Her scarf was pulled high and she wore a pair of goggles on her face.

After looking at the few people gathered here, the woman pulled the goggles over her head, her eyes stopped on Jiang Xia, and she looked carefully: "You look familiar, I seem to have seen you somewhere."

Conan: "...?"

Jiang Xia hasn't smiled and nodded yet, why did he hook someone up to start a conversation, it's still such a traditional conversation...

However, speaking of it, he saw this big sister who came to chat with her very well.

After a second, Conan suddenly recognized: "You are Torokura Etsuko?!"

Maolilan knew almost all famous people. As soon as she heard the name, she approached with surprise: "Are you the mystery novelist? I often read your and your husband's books!"

Tokura Etsuko is a cutting-edge novelist who is good at writing romantic mystery novels.

Her husband, Torakura Daisuke, is a popular writer in the horror novel world.

Conan, as a loyal fan of mystery novels, has read almost all the mystery novels on the market, among which the works of Huokura Etsuko are of the best quality.

At this time, he suddenly saw the author, and he was excited and suddenly remembered something.

When Mao Lilan was talking to Huokura Etsuko.

Conan took the opportunity to pull Jiang Xia and whispered: "She has written some stories about killers, and the techniques used in them are very subtle. Now we are standing with the client, and she suddenly ran over to talk to us..."

In short, although Hukura Etsuko is not very suspicious, the number of suspects of "Silver Fox" has increased.

After all, it's a matter of life, and you should politely doubt anyone who sees it. This is what a detective should do.

Also, although Hukura Etsuko is not short of money, it seems that it is not unreasonable for the novelist to practice killing methods by himself after Mozheng, or if he is too stressed and part-time as a killer for entertainment...

If you insist, this can even be linked to the previous sniping - killing the client while climbing the mountain will get double the reward, but the day before yesterday, Yinhu started sniping in the city, perhaps because she is not short of money , but only to experience the pleasure of killing.

... Of course, this is only a conclusion drawn under the condition of "not letting go of any possibility".

Actually, compared to Torokura Etsuko...

Conan turned his eyes and landed again precisely on the male college student who followed the client to talk to him just now. He nodded secretly:

Compared to the elegant Torokura Etsuko, this guy really deserves more attention...

After Torakura Etsuko's "familiar" statement was interrupted, he realized that this was an unpopular question, so he didn't ask any further.

But she still glanced at Jiang Xia from time to time, thinking about who this young man wearing a mask and hat was and where she had seen it.

Mao Lilan suddenly talked to Hucang Yuezi just now. On the one hand, she really liked her novels, and on the other hand, it was also to distract from the sentence she said to Jiang Xia, "I seem to have seen you somewhere".

Jiang Xia is usually in the newspapers, and even appeared on some variety shows related to detectives. Hucang Yuezi should have seen him in photos or on the screen, so he felt that Jiang Xia was familiar.

In other words, if we continue to talk about this issue, Jiang Xia's identity as a detective will definitely be exposed.

But if the silver fox happened to be hiding around and saw this scene, then he would definitely be more vigilant, his actions would be more subtle, and he might even strike first and try to get rid of the obstacle of Jiang Xia...

At this time, seeing that Hucang Yuezi did not continue this topic, Mao Lilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to the other side secretly, and with the help of her body, she erected a scissors hand symbolizing victory towards Jiang Xia, and suddenly had a sense of accomplishment of "becoming a detective's witty assistant".

Jiang Xia could only take advantage of the fact that Hucang Etsuko was not looking here, and returned a "V", pretending that he was also very motivated.

... One or two are so active, it looks like he is paddling.

However, after glancing at An Shitou, who was even more silent than him, Jiang Xia calmed down again.

- Here's a more paddling one.

My work attitude is in the middle, so it's not a big problem.

Not long after, the staff of the mountain management office told them that the facilities and supplies of the rest station had been confirmed, and they could start climbing.

Jiang Xia identified the direction and set foot on the mountain road with everyone.

After walking for a while, a couple hurriedly chased after him.

Unlike leisurely climbers, these two trot all the way up the mountain.

At this moment, they turned the corner and saw Jiang Xia and others in front of them, so they slowed down their pace, carrying heavy backpacks, looking around and climbing the mountain like normal travelers.

But on closer inspection, the behavior of the two is very different from that of ordinary tourists - ordinary tourists look around, mostly to enjoy the scenery.

The expression of this couple is tense, and they will be alert at the slightest disturbance. No matter how they look at it, they are very suspicious.

Maolilan, who is full of "catching killers", is inevitably a little excited.

She glanced back, leaned closer to Jiang Xia and whispered:

"Speaking of which, many girls like to use the cute code name 'Silver Fox'. And Mr. Amuro said that the gender of the silver fox is still unclear - perhaps this is actually because there are two silver foxes, sometimes It's a man who commits the crime, and sometimes a woman, that's why there are such rumors?"

quite reasonable.

Jiang Xia patiently nodded in agreement: "Hmm, that makes sense. Watch them more later."

...Although he remembered that the couple behind him was not a silver fox, compared to when he perfunctory Conan just now, this time Jiang Xia's "observation" seemed a lot more sincere.

In the space between his words, he even looked back. His gaze stopped slightly on the couple's calf.

The couple behind noticed their gaze and stared sharply. Then he hurriedly lowered his head and burrowed into his way.

As a result, even Toru Amuro and Conan's attention gradually focused on the two people behind themthe expressions of the couples looked really wrong.

After walking the relatively flat road at the foot of the mountain, the road in the middle suddenly became steep.

On the steep cliff, some large rocks protrude like steps, spiraling up along the cliff, this is the next way to go.

A row of hemp ropes is nailed to the mountain, which is convenient for tourists to grab them and climb.

this seems like a perfect place to do a plot.
