Conan’s Corpse Picker

 Chapter 2004 2004 [Case closed] Please vote for me ヽ(〃〃)~

 The saleswoman moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But the speed of her defense could not keep up with the speed of the detective closing the case: "Mr. Ide happened to take a picture of the scene where the corpse was projected on the screen. If you look closely, you can find that the focus of the picture on the screen is wrong. This is because the scene was removed. After two reflective lenses, the length of the projection changes. Although the change is very subtle, it can be regarded as evidence of this technique."

"In addition..." Jiang Xia looked at the salesperson, "There was obviously a broken mirror in the lounge, but when you were helping the projectionist make tea, you went to the bathroom outside to adjust your contact lenses in front of the mirror. This was because you were on break. The room mirror was not there—it had been used by the projectionist to reflect the beam."

 The salesperson pursed her lips.

The projectionist sighed and said to her: "You don't have to help me deal with it anymore. Although it's a pity that my method showed flaws, I don't regret killing that guy."

He looked at the small window of the screening room and his face became gloomy: "When I am working, I like to look out of that window the most and watch the audience's various reactions. But that **** makes the number of guests in the theater less and less day by day. Even on the day off, there were only a few guests here and there—so I decided to hang him in front of the screening window so that this guy could experience how I feel these days and let him see this lonely scenery clearly."

Having said this, he softened his expression and looked at the curator: "I'm really sorry that something like this happened on the last day."

The old director sighed helplessly: "It's okay. In fact, long before that guy caused trouble, our customers were getting fewer and fewer day by day. Small theaters like ours can't get popular movies at all, and they are about to go bankrupt. And now TV and mobile phones are all With such popularity, things like movies are probably already behind the times.”

 The difficult situation of Xiaopo Cinema made the onlookers feel mixed.

 But the most complicated one is Maya Hashimoto.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Although it is normal to be unable to suppress the murderous intention when facing a guy who is looking for trouble every day, but why did you do it today? Can't you wait for a long time and wait for him to sign the contract before making any move? !

 … finally received a reply, but now, he has to find the next person to buy land.

 Sigh, I hope the new agent can be easier to talk to.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly vibrated.

Maya Hashimoto was startled, opened it, and found a new email.

 —sent from Uzo.

 Hashimoto Maya: “…”

I do not want to see.

 But you still have to watch.

 He clicked it silently.

When he saw the above content clearly, the corners of Maya Hashimoto's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Uzo actually asked him to buy this movie theater depending on the situation, and then transform it into a horror show, and also transform one of the two movie theaters into a corresponding themed haunted house or escape room? ?

 Are you addicted to buying land? What is Uzo doing, launching a horror-themed street?

 Hashimoto Maya didn’t understand very much.

 But there is no need to understand the boss's orders, he just needs to follow them.

Anyway, the cadres of this group of organizations are getting richer than the last, and the money for opening a store can probably be reimbursed by the organization. There is no need for him, a newly recruited peripheral member, to worry.

Maya Hashimoto took a deep breath and put away her phone as if nothing had happened.

Then while the police were busy helping Uzo deal with the aftermath, Maya Hashimoto found the old director and quietly expressed his intention to buy the theater. The saleswoman was worried that the old curator would suffer a loss. When she saw them walking towards the corner, she quickly followed them.

 After hearing what Maya Hashimoto said, the salesperson and the curator were stunned, looked at him, and then turned to look at Jiang Xia.

Maya Hashimoto felt something was wrong: "...What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I'm very happy that someone is willing to buy this place and continue to develop the film business." The old curator pushed up his glasses and said with emotion, "I just didn't expect you to actually go together with the young detective - before you came here , we were worried that after the murder, this theater would become known as a "haunted house" and would be completely unable to continue operating. At that time, Jiang Xia comforted us with this business idea, but we didn't expect that you had the same idea. He was still young. People’s minds are flexible.”

Hashimoto Maya: "!?"

 …No wonder Wu Zuo suddenly wanted to buy a theater. It turned out to be because of this!

Wu Zuo’s minions were everywhere. After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he received the news on the back. And unlike Jiang Xia's simple idea, Wu Zuo chose to implement it directly... Is this a provocation to the famous detective's ability, or does he simply find this kind of proposal interesting and want to get involved?

"No, it might be because of me." This thought flashed through his mind, and Maya Hashimoto suddenly became alert, "I was clearly not there just now, but now I feel like I heard Jiang Xia's words and decided to acquire this theater - it's almost like I was there It's the same as monitoring Jiang Xia. Could it be that Wu Zuo knows that Jiang Xia has found clues about him, so he wants to push me to the front of the stage completely, so that Jiang Xia will immediately realize that I am abnormal, and therefore take the initiative to increase contact with me? "

The more he thought about it, the more stressed Hashimoto Maya became: he felt that he had rolled up enough, but now it turns out that his boss felt that his progress was not fast enough, so he took the initiative to help him roll up.

"that…"

An old voice sounded next to him, and the old director looked at him anxiously: "Do you still want to buy this cinema?"

 All honorifics are used.

 He knew that someone else had acquired this place with the intention of demolishing the cinema and using the land for other purposes. But listening to Maya Hashimoto, it seems that this foreigner wants to continue to open a cinema. As a person who has been a cinema director all his life, the old director certainly hopes to sell the cinema to the latter. Anyway, the contract has not been signed yet. Sell ​​to anyone.

Maya Hashimoto came back to her senses: "Of course."

 After a pause, he added cautiously: "I hope the price can be fair."

 If you are slaughtered as a fat sheep again...

 He does not want to make a transaction and the transaction partner will die once. Not to mention the inefficiency of the task, this will definitely arouse the suspicion of the police - after all, when the police conduct a little investigation, they will find that the dead people are the guys who wanted to kill him.

 …

 Fortunately, the old curator is a kind person. He is not only the director, but also the owner of this cinema, and he means what he says.

 So in the end, not only did he not kill Maya Hashimoto, but he also gave a relatively fair price. In addition, when signing the contract, he also stipulated additional land use-opening a cinema. In case this young man who seems enthusiastic and cheerful will regret it after getting the place.

The transaction was completed in a flash. Maya Hashimoto held the fresh and warm contract with tears in her eyes: If only all the work went so smoothly.

 Unfortunately not.

 He has to continue to work on the land in the sea and the small island in the hands of the Suzuki family.
