Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1854 1854 [Unpacking]

   Just as Jiang Xia was looking at Canary, and Canary was watching Suzuki Sonoko vigilantly, a man walked behind them.

  The lobby manager saw two high school students gathered around the birdcage, and praised their taste: "Do you like it? These canaries are actually my pets."

   "!" Suzuki Sonoko straightened up and nodded guiltyly, "Of course I like it! We were still praising its feathers just now."

  Jiang Xia gave a face-saving hum, and helped her classmates lie.

The lobby manager was happy, and went to the cage to tease the birds: "I thought they would be lonely if they were kept alone in the room, so I put the bird cage here. Who knew that there was a murder in the lobby... Alas, people are coming and going now, I don’t know if they are scared or not.”

  Suzuki Sonoko: "..." I don't know if the bird frightened her, but the elusive manager did startle her.

  …

  Although the scene was a bit chaotic, thanks to the unremitting efforts of both clubs, the wedding dress show competition was finally held as scheduled.

"Welcome everyone to participate in the Boduo-Liutiao Wedding Dress Design Contest." The host tried hard to forget the horrible scene of the president of Liutiao falling to the ground, mobilizing the atmosphere, "Next, please enjoy the passionate performances of the models of the two major brands—these beautiful The wedding dress will definitely add a lot of color to the future life of the newlyweds!"

  After a brief speech, the catwalk began.

  The lights in the venue dimmed, and the models wore different styles of wedding dresses, coming and going along the catwalk.

   "Look, look!" Suzuki Sonoko shook Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan who were standing beside him, "Masumi is here! It's so beautiful, such a long skirt can hold up."

  Jiang Xia nodded, and suddenly caught a glimpse of someone trotting in the venue from the corner of his eye.

  He turned his head and saw the little assistant who had picked them up in the car before running in. The little assistant stopped beside Naoko Torimaru and whispered something anxiously to her.

   I don't know what bad news she brought, even Naoko Torimaru's face changed, and the two hurriedly turned and went backstage.

  Jiang Xia was watching, when he suddenly heard a sentence from his feet: "Let's go and have a look too."

  As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that Conan was staring at the direction in which the two women left.

   Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko heard the movement: "What's wrong?"

  Jiang Xia pointed to the backstage: "Something seems to have happened over there."

   "Is there another case?" Suzuki Sonoko was immediately alert.

   It happened that Takamori Masumi had finished the show at this time, and several high school students quickly made a decision, hurried to the backstage, and went to the preparation room of the Bodhisattva Club.

  …

  As soon as I arrived at the place, I walked along the corridor and saw a circle of people around the door of the room from a distance. Everyone looked shocked.

  When Mao Lilan saw this posture, she suddenly said in her heart: "It must be that someone died again."

  Jiang Xia approached, looked over the shoulders of the staff and looked into the room, but found that there was no corpse in the room.

  But it is true that something happened—on the mannequin stand in the corner, there was a wedding dress with complicated craftsmanship, which should have been extremely gorgeous. It seemed to be the finale prepared by Boduo Company.

   But at this moment, it was splashed with ink and cut in tatters with scissors, as if it had just been dragged out of a waste recycling company, so it couldn’t be put on stage no matter what.

   "Those shameless **** in Liutiao Club..." There was a murderous look in the crowd, like a hundred families.

  Jiang Xia touched his nose, but did not leave, quietly staying at the door to join in the fun.

  But the employees of Putuo Company can't be so leisurely.

Naoko Torimaru was walking anxiously around the wedding dress, when she suddenly thought of something, she said to the staff: "I remember there were a lot of white tablecloths in the venue, the texture was very good, find some for me, the more the better! "

  The employees looked at each other: "Tablecloth? What do you want this for?"

  Only the lobby manager trusted Qingmei, who suddenly appeared from behind Jiang Xia, and was ordered in danger: "Leave it to me!"

   "..." Jiang Xia rubbed his shocked ears, turned his head to look over, and saw the versatile lobby manager running back to the banquet hall.

   When he was approaching the table, he slowed down and bowed to the puzzled guests: "Excuse me, I'll add a little trick for the time being, I hope you all enjoy watching."

   As he spoke, he pinched the corner of the tablecloth, shook it skillfully, and the tablecloth was in his hands in an instant, while the dinner plate and vase on the table stood in place without moving at all.

  The guests were at a loss and didn't know why the lobby manager suddenly started performing acrobatics, but from a close look, this skill was really powerful, so they applauded with dignity.

  The lobby manager hugged the newly-arrived clean tablecloth, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to the next table.

  …

   Not long after, he went back with a pile of tablecloths.

  Naoko Torimaru took the tablecloth and manipulated around the mannequin frame. A gorgeous pure white dress and long skirt appeared in front of everyone.

   "...Is this the pile of tablecloths just now?"

   Even though Sonoko Suzuki had seen many dresses and skirts, she was surprised by the skill of changing the tablecloth.

  Naoko Torimaru had no time to chat, and kept adjusting the details: "The gloss is not bright enough, it needs some crystal or glitter powder to adjust."

  The little assistant was stunned: "However, there are no similar elements in this entry, so we didn't bring this kind of material."

   "What?!" Naoko Torimaru wanted to get angry, but held back.

  She looked around the venue anxiously, when suddenly a burst of light flashed into her eyes. Naoko Torimaru looked along the burst of light, and her gaze fell on the satchel carried by Sonoko Suzuki.

  Perhaps in order to match the gorgeous catwalk tonight, the female high school student's dress is brighter today, and the surface of the bag is also studded with small shiny gravels.

  Naoko Torimaru's eyes lit up: "Your bag..."

   "Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant.

She emptied the contents of the bag and handed the bag over: "You take it apart, I see that there seems to be a handy tool in your toolbox, and you should be able to rub it off with a little force - we must let Masumi win this catwalk!"

  She quietly helped her old classmate record a performance.

  The staff of the Putuo Club saw that there was hope for the competition, thanked her, and happily unpacked it.

  Conan suddenly remembered something, looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and asked curiously: "Those things look brighter than crystals, so they must be made of diamonds."

Suzuki Sonoko took the plastic bag that Jiang Xia handed over, and hurriedly gathered the things he emptied out of the bag: "No, it's okay to take the diamond bag to the banquet, why do you usually recite it, waiting to be robbed in the street - that's just Some hyacinth stones."

  Naoko Torimaru took time out of her busy schedule to glance at her: "Thank you, I will definitely compensate you for the same bag in the future."
