Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but glanced over the venue again.

   didn't wait to find out anything, and his peripheral vision flickered.

  Toru Amuro turned his head to look, and saw Jiang Xia walking towards the corridor, quietly following Rika Okano and her assistant.

  “…”

   Amuro Toru looked at the wrestler who was gradually beaten to the ground by Sato Mikazuko, then looked at Jiang Xia's back, hesitated for a moment, and followed suit.

   Jiang Xia's analysis just now makes sense.

   Compared to a burly wrestler who doesn't understand art, it is indeed Rika Okano, who is closer to the center of the case and "flower".

  …

   Okano Rika's lounge is not too far from the banquet hall.

  Anshitou walked halfway, and suddenly noticed that Jiang Xia was behaving strangely in front of him. He seemed to want to knock on the door, but he suddenly stopped moving after hearing something.

  "?" Anshitou vaguely felt that something was wrong, and took a few steps to eavesdrop with Jiang Xia.

As soon as    approached, he heard a burst of undisguised laughter from inside the room.

"Haha, that **** is finally dead!" It was Rika Okano's voice, "He's just a stepping stone to my success, it's good to hold me honestly, but he actually wants to control me in turn , really over the top - die well!"

  Ozaki Cui hurriedly discouraged: "Teacher, don't say it. If this kind of words are heard by others, you will be misunderstood."

   "As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will be able to hear." Rika Okano waved her hand in disappointment as she was not echoed.

   It's almost time for the flower arrangement show to start.

  Rika Okano didn't say more, she got up and walked to the mirror, checked her appearance for the last time, and was quite satisfied with this outfit, so she said: "Okay, let's go."

  …

   The two left the lounge, locked the door, and walked away quickly.

   After they left.

  Two figures poked out from the corner, with a hint of sneakiness, and returned to Okano Rika's lounge.

   Jiang Xia looked down at the locked door, then turned to look at An Shitou next to him.

  Amuro Toru pulled out a wire from nowhere, stuck it into the keyhole and fiddled with it a few times. Before long, the door clicked open.

   Jiang Xia nodded and pushed in the door with satisfaction.

  Amuro put away the tools, glanced at Jiang Xia's back, and was a little puzzled: Why does he always have the illusion that he is working for an employee...

   But that's not the point. The focus is obviously on the case at hand, and Uzo's possible conspiracy.

  …

   Amuro Toru quickly put aside the inexplicable idea.

   He also followed in and closed the door behind him.

   glanced at the lounge, and saw Jiang Xia walking towards a corner, crouched down, and seemed to be checking something.

   Amuro Toru went there too.

   looked down, and in front of Jiang Xia was a double-layered fresh-keeping box.

  —In this place where the organizers provide a sumptuous dinner and fruit wine, this box looks a bit redundant.

   What is superfluous at first glance often also means "something else".

  …

   "Open it and see?" Jiang Xia touched the lid of the box, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the police next to him.

   Even a detective should not blatantly break the law. As for things like "slipping through the door to pick the lock" and "removing other people's luggage without authorization", of course, it is still the most convenient to have Amuro to carry the pot.

   Amuro Toru didn't think much about it, and he was obviously used to doing this kind of thing. He nodded, squatted down, held the lid of the box through his gloves, and lifted it carefully.

   As the lid of the box was lifted, two bottles of medicine were placed side by side in the top grid.

   "Refrigerant?" Jiang Xia leaned over to look, and his eyes quickly fell on the bottle that was one size larger.

Seeing Toru Amuro being a little puzzled, he popularized: "Rika Okano's 'magic flower arrangement' probably uses refrigerant to freeze flowers in advance to shrink them into flower buds, and then use the rise in temperature to make the flower buds suddenly appear at a certain point in time. It's blooming... But I remember just now, when the staff helped them with the costumes, they had already moved the refrigerant to the stage."

   "Maybe this is a spare, I forgot to bring it." Toru Amuro looked down from the refrigerant and looked down at the other bottle.

   Seeing the label clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "...hydrocyanic acid silicide?!"

   This kind of thing is not as common as potassium cyanide in daily life, but it is also a deadly and highly toxic. It is very easy to vaporize and spread, and if a high concentration of gas is inhaled in a short period of time, it will cause immediate death. Even if it is not used for inhalation, it may cause an explosion after reaching a certain concentration.

Amuro remembered the lethality of this drug, and his eyes became more and more solemn: the murderer actually brought hydrocyanic acid silicide, and looking at the amount remaining in the bottle, he must have used a lot of it - this is not simple. A murder case, but a premeditated mass attack against the many celebrities coming and going in the banquet hall!

  —The "fireworks festival" that Uzo made was really not something as simple as "blow up a cooking class". Before Okiya Subaru went to the cooking class, I am afraid it was just to divert his attention, or take the initiative to leave this dangerous banquet hall... In short, an attack of this scale must be stopped!

  …

   When Amuro Toru stared at the dangerous drug in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Next to   , Jiang Xia was still doing his normal activities—perhaps because he was not targeted by "Wu Zuo" or sent out strange invitations. At this time, Jiang Xia was quite calm, far more calm than An Shitou's heart.

   "He even brought poison. It seems that the murderer who sent the letter will have other actions after that."

  Jiang Xia, like an ordinary detective at work, briefly commented on the bottle of dangerous drug that made Anshitou tense.

   And before Amuro could react, he raised the top grid with a click through the handkerchief: "There is another layer below, let's see what's inside..."

   Before he finished speaking, Amuro suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Xia away.

  "??" Jiang Xia was suddenly pulled like this, and the refrigerant in the grid almost fell to the ground. He caught the bottle that was thrown away and turned his head to look at Amuro Toru in surprise.

   Amuro Toru was staring at the box on the ground.

   His gaze fell on the bottom of the box exposed after Jiang Xia uncovered the top.

   I saw that there were some crushed ice for thermal insulation inside, and there was an ordinary ice tray on the ice, with a few small ice cubes frozen in it. Apart from that, there was no deadly mechanism as imagined.

   The room was silent for a moment.

   Amuro Toru: "…"

   Just now, seeing the hydrogen cyanide silicide on the upper layer of the safe, and guessing Uzo's plan to "release poison gas and cause an explosion", Amuro Toru was inevitably vigilant.

   - He always felt that this step of "investigating and seeing through Uzo's conspiracy" was too smooth.
