Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Outside the villa, in the beautiful banquet hall.

   Jiang Xia got the doctors' business cards, and after memorizing the addresses, phone numbers, and names, he stopped hanging out with this group of cold party guests.

   He went to pick up a coke with a goblet, and then continued to park in the corner of the venue to carry out his commission.

  —President Ichikawa's attitude is a bit odd, the Riddler seems to prefer to keep the detective in the corner of the party. Jiang Xia tries to sneak into the villa, but will be stopped by the housekeeper.

   Jiang Xia then followed suit, took out the notebook, recalled the conversation between the two Ichikawa Misses just now, recorded them one by one, and prepared them for the client to hand over.

  …

   Not long after, the servants set up the open-air stage.

   President Ichikawa quickly stepped onto the stage and picked up the microphone:

   "Thank you all for taking the time to attend my birthday party. This time, I have one thing to tell you - I plan to step down as president in the near future, which means I'm going to retire.

   "Next, I will sell all the stocks in my name, as well as the company's operating rights, to Asahi Sangyo."

  “…”

  The venue was dead silent.

   After a while, the whispers exploded, and in the midst of the noisy human voice, someone couldn't help but ask loudly: "Then what should we do?"

  —Many of the people who came to the gathering today are the relatives of President Ichikawa. Originally, some of them could also get a share of the inheritance.

"What do you do?" President Ichikawa repeated their words and laughed sarcastically, "Well, it's hard to tell the details, but one thing is certain - I won't let everyone present, from me Get a penny."

  “…”

   In the silent crowd, Jiang Xia couldn't help but be infected with a bit of the detective's gangster attribute: "..." You said just now that you will give me another million after the matter is completed...

  Maolilan felt the restlessness of the crowd and suddenly remembered something.

   She looked around and whispered worriedly to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko: "Have you seen Conan?"

   "No." Suzuki Sonoko was accustomed to the boy's wandering, "I must have found something interesting again, let's go and play secretly."

  …

  Conan did find something interesting.

   But he didn't play it secretly, but was played by someone else.

  —It's been a while since he broke free from the anesthesia.

  Conan sat up abruptly from the ground, pressed his forehead, looked around, and found that he was locked in the basement.

   He was stunned for a while, but suddenly remembered what happened before he fainted, and hurried to the door, trying to open it, but the door was locked firmly, and he couldn't open it at all.

  Conan always feels like something is going to happen tonight.

   He took out his mobile phone and wanted to contact a few classmates outside, but upon closer inspection, there was no signal here.

   "Oops, that bottle of poisoned wine..."

  …

   In the banquet hall.

   After Kotaro Ichikawa announced that he was going to step down, he returned to the villa with different glances from everyone.

Thinking about the faces of those guys who ate flies after hearing that they "couldn't get the inheritance", Kotaro Ichikawa couldn't help but feel very happy - he did everything he could and abandoned the property that he had worked hard for with his health and integrity. Why was he easily taken away by these people ? …

  As he left, the atmosphere in the banquet hall completely subsided.

   Jiang Xia remembered something and looked at the housekeeper: "I remember when Mr. Ichikawa entrusted him, he said to observe his two daughters at the banquet tonight. In this case, is the entrustment over?"

   "Of course." The housekeeper nodded, "Please come with me."

   He led several people to the villa.

   This time, instead of going to the study, I went to the living room.

When    arrived at the door, Jiang Xia glanced around and saw a few familiar people standing in the room - Kotaro Ichikawa, his two daughters, and the personal doctor.

   He was about to go in, but was stopped by Ichikawa Kotaro:

   "It's time for our family to talk next, just give me the results of your investigation. You wait next door, the housekeeper will give you the remaining one million."

   Jiang Xia had no objection to this, so he responded and put the notebook that didn't remember much in his hand.

  The old housekeeper also entered the living room, and the door was closed from the inside.

   "It's weird." Suzuki Sonoko pouted in dissatisfaction, trying to peek through the crack of the door, but unfortunately failed.

   "Okay, let's go find Conan." After all, Maorilan lives in a detective agency, and her resistance to Riddler is much higher than Suzuki Sonoko.

Compared with other people's private affairs, she is still more concerned about where Conan is missing: "Conan will not be taken away by someone with a dark mind to vent his anger, such as being a human-shaped sandbag or something... The guests at the banquet looked so scary. "

   "Maybe it's time to go to the bathroom." Jiang Xia looked around and pointed in a direction, "Go look for it over there."

  …

   At the same time, stay in the living room.

  It was different from the terrifying atmosphere at the banquet hall just now. At this time, several people in the room were enjoying themselves—at least it seemed that way.

   The second daughter, Ichikawa Ruizhi, sat on the sofa, looked at her father in the main seat, and squeezed a little smile:

"To be honest, I don't object to my father's decision. Wealth is the sweetest thing to be acquired by one's own struggles." - Hmph, old-fashioned old man, when you die, even if you don't want to, I will I can also get a preserved legacy, enough for me to live happily for decades.

and…

   Ichikawa Ruizhi stroked her hair, gloating in her heart: there must be someone more anxious than her.

   As he was thinking about it, his eldest daughter Ichikawa also smiled and said, "Me too."

   She was holding a red wine box in her hand.

   While speaking, Ichikawa opened it gracefully, took out the red wine, and poured it out:

"In order to celebrate my father's birthday, I specially brought this bottle of 57-year-old wine. I have kept this wine for a long time and I am not willing to open it. Now it seems that only in the hands of a tasteful person like my father, I will not be able to open it. humiliate its value."

   She calmly poured out a glass of wine, placed it in a clear goblet, and handed it to Kotaro Ichikawa.

   Ichikawa Kotaro took it at will, without commenting on their words, but just picked up the wine, looked at it like usual wine tasting, and smelled it again.

  …

the other side.

   Jiang Xia took two classmates and walked around the villa for half a circle, and stopped at the door of a basement after a while.

   "There seems to be movement in here."

   After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he was about to reach out and twist the locked doorknob before giving way to Mao Lilan.

   But at this time, he suddenly felt a little sense of crisis.

   Jiang Xia suddenly raised his hand and pushed Suzuki Yuanzi aside, almost at the same time, Mao Lilan also took a half step back.

   A loud bang. A tin can slammed through the basement door, wrapped in debris, passed between them, and slammed into the opposite wall.
