Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1162 1162 [Don't let him get close to the prisoner]

   Holding the buckle and pulling it, the keychain in the small box was exposed.

   It was a red statue—a military general with a beard and waist, straddling a tall horse, and carrying a long-handled crescent knife in his hand.

  Mao Lilan has a good history and is very clear about famous historical allusions. She said in surprise: "This is Guan Yu."

   "That military general in the Three Kingdoms?" Yuanshan and Ye have also heard of this famous person, and at the same time they are very puzzled, "...Why do you want to give us a Guan Yu?"

  Mao Lilan liked this unique key pendant very much, and looked back and forth: "I heard that Guan Yu is also a **** who can bless people's business prosperity."

   "Well..." Yuan Shan and Ye stared at Guan Yu's horse and knife, "It doesn't look like it."

   "The Qinglong, the Moon Sword and the Red Rabbit Horse are both standard for Guan Yu. It is said that this horse can travel thousands of miles a day and is very powerful." Mao Lilan put it on the table, "Okay, let's pack up the things I bought first."

  In the Moori Detective Office in 5-chome, Cupido-cho, the atmosphere is harmonious.

  …

   On the other hand, before going to ask for an alibi, Jiang Xia and the others followed Chief Gong’s police department to the Metropolitan Police Department—they knew the case in advance, and when they asked about it, they might be able to find out more critical details.

   Chief Gong's police department quietly took out the evidence bags from the previous few times and put them on the table for a few detectives to see.

The small transparent bags, each of which contained a red horse with burn marks on it: "This is left in the 1-chome of Lizen-cho, the 2-chome of Toriya-cho, the 3-chome of Okuho-cho, and the one that I got just now. Yes, 'Red Horse' in Cupido-cho 4-chome."

   Several plastic horses are placed together, and the shapes look exactly the same.

  It's just that the first horse was burnt so badly, and it had a charred base underneath it, but the other horses didn't.

Jiang Xia picked up the special bag, turned it over to look at it, and fast-forwarded slightly: "There seems to be a 'rabbit' character... and the color of the horse, this is the famous 'red rabbit horse', right? ."

   "That famous horse that appeared in the Three Kingdoms?"

Hattori Heiji quickly had an association: "That feng shui master should be very familiar with these historical knowledge. And he also has a motive - if the house burns down, the cheating video tapes hidden inside will naturally disappear along with it. Now Mrs. Zhujiao He is also dead, and his derailment can be completely covered up."

Hearing them mentioning "motives", Officer Fat Zhang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But, he is not the only one who is suspicious. According to our investigation, the four people you provided who have appeared near Zhujiao's house are all certain. motive for murder.

"—The parents of the deceased, who passed away not long ago. They only have two daughters, because the deceased hired a son-in-law for the family, so the parents left all the inheritance to her. Now when she dies, the huge amount of property will be transferred. to her fortune-teller sister's name.

"And the husband of the deceased. He was a psychiatrist, and he always wanted to sell the house in his family and build a hospital of his own, but the deceased refused to agree - the land was inherited by the deceased from his parents. In addition, there is no guarantee that the deceased has an affair, and he will not know. In this way, the motivation will be more sufficient. "

"Ugh……"

  The police are most afraid of encountering a lot of dead people like this, and the difficulty of handling cases tends to skyrocket.

   Regrettably, however, most of the dead seem to have this characteristic.

   "Guessing is not the answer, it's better to go and ask them directly." Hattori Heiji and Conan stood up impatiently. As detectives, their preferences are completely opposite to those of the police - the more troublesome the case, the more motivated they are.

but……

   "..." Suddenly remembering that Jiang Xia was standing next to him, Hattori Heiji's interest suddenly weakened a bit.

   Who knows at this moment, I don't know when I sneaked to Jiang Xia by the window, and suddenly said goodbye: "You guys go, I remember that my homework is not finished yet, so I will go home first."

   After saying that, he turned around and walked out. The set of movements was very natural and fast, and the other three people in the room did not recover at all.

Officer    Chief Gong stayed for a while before rubbing the back of his head with hindsight: "I almost forgot, you are still students... Well, why don't you go back to do your homework first?"

   "...I finished writing on the first day of my vacation!" Hattori Heiji's eyes jumped, and he didn't want to mention "homework" when he was serious about solving the case.

   "I have no homework."

  Conan also expressed his desire to continue investigating the case.

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, glanced suspiciously at the door where Jiang Xia left, then avoided the police, and whispered to the little friend Hattori Heiji: "Jiang Xia doesn't do homework at all, he should just be making excuses just now. "

  "!" Hattori Heiji suddenly became alert, "Could it be that he has discovered the traces of important clues, and wants to find clues behind our backs and solve the case secretly?"

  Conan: "...No." Although Jiang Xia must be doing something quietly behind their backs, it's probably not just to solve the case...

  Conan remembered those tragic prisoners who suddenly disappeared with Jiang Xia and then suddenly reappeared in the past;

   Thinking about it again, the partner this time is not the policeman who has been dealing with Jiang Xia all the year round and is familiar with his habits, but a relatively unfamiliar one... He began to regret that he hesitated a moment ago and forgot to stop him.

   "Go find those suspects and ask about the situation!" Conan stood up abruptly, "Be sure to find them before Jiang Xia!"

  …

   However, it is different from what Conan thought.

   Jiang Xia did run to find one of the suspects, but he just had a little peaceful and friendly conversation.

   Just now, Jiang Xia looked out the window and suddenly saw the deceased's husband, the psychiatrist, walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

   After all, the deceased had the closest relationship with him, so Zhu Jiao Ming had to go through more procedures than others, and he had just left.

  …

  The Amuro Detective Agency happened to be near the Metropolitan Police Department. Jiang Xia was very familiar with the roads in this area, so he quickly stopped him and greeted him friendly: "Hello."

  "!" Zhu Jiao Ming was distracted when he was suddenly stopped, slightly startled.

  He looked up and saw Jiang Xia, his eyes moved slightly, and he quickly returned to peace: "It's you, little classmate. What do you need me for?"

  Jiang Xia showed a friendly smile: "It's nothing, I just met a familiar person, so just to be polite, come over and say hello."

   Zhu Jiao Ming calmly breathed a sigh of relief.

   Just relaxed halfway, and suddenly heard Jiang Xia say: "But you seem to be panicked, why? - Could it be that you are hiding some important clues from us?"
