Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Detective Noda finished digging people and talked about business with satisfaction.

"You guys are here to ask Nanchuan." He glanced at the date and counted the days, "Actually, that guy hasn't answered the phone for two or three days—a while ago, I heard that he was busy with a big deal, I guess he didn't. Just get in touch."

   "No contact for two or three days?" Mao Lilan was startled, "Did you not call the police?"

   "Haha, for ordinary people, being out of contact for a few days may be scary, but for us private investigators, it's commonplace."

Detective Noda waved his hand and looked quite proud: "In order to obtain the information that customers need, we can do anything, such as tracking, lurking, and even undercover. During this period, in order to prevent the identity of the detective from being exposed, we sometimes do not communicate with the outside world. Don't. It has been two or three days, and some people have been missing for a year and a half—the person who received you today, he has been missing for two years. At that time, we were going to find his family to apply for a death certificate, but he suddenly appeared again."

  Jiang Xia: "..." It's really unbelievable, that man looks like an ordinary bald uncle, and he has such a story... Later, I went to the Cuphu Detective Agency and had to ask him for a business card.

  Forget it, come here, let’s just do it all over again—Detective Noda is right, it is necessary to communicate more among peers, and to share eucalyptus.

  "..." Chong Shi Subaru saw that they were going off topic while they were talking, and couldn't help but put a stick of incense on that "Mr. Nanchuan" in his heart.

  It may be quite common for detectives to disappear for two or three days.

   But now, with the inclusion of Wu Zuo, things are probably not that simple...

  …

  Cupto Detective Office is not far from the cafe, and a few people quickly entered the house.

Jiang Xia turned around and remembered the business: "By the way, have two people who looked like high school students come to you? One of them is a high school detective from Osaka, um... It always blends in with the background of the picture. the one."

   Detectives generally have a good memory.

Detective Noda quickly understood who Jiang Xia was referring to: "You mean the detective with a Osaka accent. They came here at noon, and they were looking for Nanchuan. I told them that Nanchuan was not there, they asked me for Nanchuan's address, and then left."

   As he spoke, he had already neatly written the address on a note and handed it to Jiang Xia.

  —Cabito Town 4-chome, there is Hatozhuang 202.

  …

  4-chome is not far from here.

   Jiang Xia called out the map and quickly rushed to the place with a few people.

  Youjiou Zhuang is a two-storey apartment with an old style. It has no unit doors and can be accessed along the side outdoor stairs.

   "202...is this room."

   Jiang Xia stopped at the door of one of the houses.

   There is a note on the door, with unsightly handwriting on it:

  [I will be back before noon, please put the courier to the landlord. ]

   Jiang Xia rang the doorbell. No one came to open the door until the doorbell rang.

  Chushi Subaru looked at the thin door, sniffed the surrounding air quietly, trying to distinguish the smell of corpse odor.

"It's already past noon, is there any delay?" Mao Lilan couldn't help but be a little worried, but soon, she thought optimistically, "Maybe when Ye and the others came over, Mr. Nanchuan just came home, and then The three of them went out to discuss things together, so I didn't have time to remove the note - go to a nearby coffee shop and maybe find them."…

   Jiang Xia glanced at the corner of the door: "It may also be that Mr. Nanchuan didn't come back at all. Hattori and the others followed the traces to find it, and then disappeared together." He stretched his finger to his feet.

  Conan is even taller, and soon found the tape on the corner of the door.

   This piece of tape is attached to the very inconspicuous lower right corner, with one end attached to the door frame and one end attached to the door. If someone breaks in while the owner is away, it will be torn open, leaving a "door opened" mark.

   At this point, one end of the tape has come off, and…

"There's a lot of dust on the tape." Conan also began to feel bad, "Combining with what Mr. Noda just said, Mr. Kusugawa probably never came back after going out. Since Hattori has been here, it means that he may have discovered someone. Some clues, followed the past..."

   Halfway through speaking, he suddenly remembered that there was a Subaru next to him, and Conan was shocked, and hurriedly made a patch, showing the innocent smile of a child: "—Brother Jiang Xia must think so!"

   "Well." Jiang Xia looked at the closed door of the room, and then at Conan, and said pointedly, "It would be great if you could go in and have a look. There may be important clues hidden inside."

  Conan met his gaze and understood in seconds:

  Some things are not suitable for high school students to do, but elementary school students can become extrajudicial outlaws—for example, elementary school students naughty smashed the door and ran into other people’s homes, causing law-abiding high school students to follow up and arrest people.

Conan: "..." Well, from this aspect alone, it's not without benefits to be smaller... Although when I was Kudo Shinichi, I did a lot of things like picking locks and breaking into houses, but now this is the case. At least don't have to worry about being sent to the bureau.

   He raised his hand to grasp the doorknob and twisted it tentatively, while the other hand reached into his pocket to rummage for the wire.

   Before I could find out the door-priming tool, the door was opened directly.

  Conan: "...Unlocked?"

  ... After going out for so long, but not locking, I always feel that the atmosphere of the incident is getting stronger and stronger.

   As he was thinking, Jiang Xia suddenly poked his back quietly.

  Conan came back to his senses, pushed in the door like a bear child, ran into the house, and Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan hurriedly chased in.

   Witnessed the rush of everything, Subaru: "..." Detectives really don't talk about martial arts, and even children are not spared. But after all, this is to save people and justice. Compared with those detectives who pick the locks directly, Jiang Xia is already very good...

  Chong Shi Subaru: "..." Having said that, Conan is really different from other children, and his reaction is so fast that he doesn't look like a child. Could it be that after staying with Jiang Xia for a long time, he was infected with a genius atmosphere?

  …or something like that, they did it many times?

   he thought, waiting cautiously at the door.

   I didn't hear Maorilan's screams, nor did I smell the stench of corpses.

  Chong Shi Subaru finally calmed down, and cautiously walked into the house with some doubts.

  …

  The house was surprisingly clean, there were no signs of fighting or tumbling, and it didn't look like it had been broken into.

  Chong Shi Subaru looked around and found that the three people who had entered earlier were all leaning in front of the desk, looking down at the pencil scratches on the desk.

   "Someone used a pencil to scribble a note here, and accidentally overdid it and drew it on the table." Jiang Xia took the notepad on the table and compared it with the imprint on the table. The size is exactly the same.
