Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Consciousness space.

  In the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Association" of Fudo High School.

  Without the player, Jiang Xia pushed in the door and entered the house.

   A few meters away, Miyano Akemi held "Miyano Shiho", or in other words, holding an empty shell modeled based on Miyano Shiho's data, and handed it out reluctantly.

   Matsuda Jinping took it, looked at his watch, and quickly ran to the other side with the shell on his back.

Jiang Xia retracted her gaze and looked at Miyano Akimi: "If you tell Haibara Ai that you are a ghost, she may not be able to accept it for a while. Let her make up her own reasons, such as what is dead but her brain is blocked by mysterious science. The group intercepted it and made it look like a 'cyborg' now."

   "..." Miyano Akimi nodded, looking down at her hand with a aftertaste.

  Although my sister was cute when she was a child, the adult version is more comfortable to hold... If only I could have it all.

  …

the other side. Each player's "home".

  Suzuki Sonoko hung up the phone.

  This time, before she could try to break in, the two parents had already heard the movement.

   They raised their heads following the sound and asked in confusion, "Who is looking for you?"

  Suzuki Sonoko looked at the pair of "parents", her eyes flickered slightly, she suddenly thought of something, and said confidently, "It's a call from the school!"

"...School?" the parents muttered, "It's so late to let the students over, it's really dedicated... Forget it, since the teachers said so, then you can go and have a look - remember to come back early and don't mess around outside. run."

  Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up, he responded perfunctorily, and ran out quickly.

  …

After    went out smoothly, she soon met three people on the street.

  —Maurilan, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji. They finally slipped out of the house in a similar way.

   The four of them joined together.

   Hattori Heiji looked left and right suspiciously: "Jiang Xia isn't there? Could he be at school too? Tsk, I was beaten back by my mother just when I was about to go out. How could the two of them..."

   Kudo Shinichi suddenly raised his elbow and nudged him, interrupting his words: "Go to school quickly. It seems that the call of 'Miss Miyano' hung up in the middle of the call... I hope nothing happened."

   Hattori Heiji was startled. After realizing something, he didn't talk about the topic just now.

   The four of them hurried to the school.

   Unlike several other Tokyoites, Hattori Heiji has always lived in Osaka, and he doesn’t have much interaction with the families of his classmates in Tokyo.

At this time, he recalled what happened just now, and vaguely understood the reason why Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai were not here - the "Hatto Hizang" and "Hatto Shizuka" that Hattori Heiji met just now, although their personalities are not the same, but their appearance etc. Wait, but it is obviously constructed according to the model of his parents.

   Hattori Heiji: "..." In this case, Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai were able to leave home in the middle of the night, and the reason is obvious - their parents are not alive, no one is guarding the door, so they can leave at will at night.

   It’s just that this kind of solo exploration must be very risky… You have to get to the school as soon as possible to help them.

  …

  School is not far away.

   The four quickly came to the side of the courtyard wall.

   As he was about to climb over the wall, Mao Lilan suddenly noticed something, stared at the ginkgo tree beside him, and shuddered: "corpse...corpse!"

  —She remembered that it was the "Sixth Greatest Mystery": a student hanged from a ginkgo tree. If you come with the thought of "seeing the corpse", you will not see anything. Only inadvertently passing by can you see the dead body. Therefore, according to legend, no one has collected the body of the student so far.

  "?!" Gu Zhe

   The other three immediately understood what Mao Lilan was talking about.

  Suzuki Sonoko "Ow!" He didn't dare to look up at the tree at all, he turned around and huddled with Maorilan.

   Kudo Shinichi and Heiji Hattori looked decisively, and then suddenly got goosebumps - as the tree shadows shook, there was actually a figure on the tree.

  The terrifying corpse that had been hanging for an unknown number of years seemed to sense their presence, turned around slowly, and approached the courtyard wall where they were.

   Then he made Jiang Xia's voice:

   "Can you guys come out?"

  “…”

  "??" The four high school students were startled, "...Why are you?!"

  Jiang Xia jumped from the branch to the fence and looked down at a few classmates.

  As he stretched out his hand to pull the person towards the wall, he answered the question just now:

   "There was no one in my house, so I came out to check the situation and found out that you were trapped by your parents.

   "Later, I met Miss Miyano and came to school with her... Alas, I had known that you would come out, so I'd wait for you to be together. The more people you see, the quicker you will be."

   "You didn't receive a call from her?" Kudo Shinichi climbed up the wall and was startled when he heard Jiang Xia's words.

   Immediately he figured it out: "That's right, we don't have a mobile phone, you're not at home, and you don't have a landline..."

   Kudo Shinichi quickly thought: Probably Jiang Xia and Haibara Ai went to the activity room together, and then Haibara Ai started to check the information.

   At the same time, because the bound book cannot be disassembled, it can only be read by one person. Jiang Xia couldn't be free, and time was precious, so he went to several unbelievable places to check the situation, and because of this he missed Hui Yuanai's call.

  …

   Kudo Shinichi also quickly added the known information to Jiang Xia:

"We were able to leave home only after receiving a call from her from school - Miyano said that she knew the truth of the 'Seven Mysteries' and asked us to gather at the school to announce the answer. Later she seemed to want to say What, just on the way, the phone suddenly cut off."

   After a few simple exchanges, Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji have already climbed up the wall.

   Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko are still under the wall.

As soon as Suzuki Sonoko looked up, she saw Jiang Xia's outstretched hand, and subconsciously raised it to hold it and squeezed it, but she seemed a little timid about "School at Night" and had no intention of climbing up - this school is very old. Old, eerie atmosphere, not to mention those terrible legends.

   Jiang Xia felt Suzuki Sonoko's entanglement, looked down at her, and said hesitantly:

"If you're afraid, why don't you stay outside first? - The scope of this 'game' puzzle should only be in the school, and it's probably safe outside." ... If the group is extinguished again, there will still be a sliver of fire, and a few Individuals are put back as they are.

  Suzuki Sonoko was startled.

   She looked back at the foggy street, then looked up at Jiang Xia, and suddenly climbed up the wall with her hands and feet: "I want to be with you!"

  Maolilan also recovered from the shock of the "corpse" just now.

   She took a deep breath and climbed over the wall neatly: "Let's go. That Sakura tree-senpai also said that it was people, not ghosts, who caused the 'Seven Mysteries'... I'm not afraid!"

   This girl who looked very weak said that, but she was obviously still a little scared in her heart.

  Jiang Xia watched as Mao Lilan encouraged himself, but he couldn't control the strength in his hand, and accidentally "clicked" a wall brick.
