Conan’s Corpse Picker

 Chapter 20652065【Gunshot】

　　It was already past seven o'clock when Etsuko Furukawa arrived home.

"I'm so sorry, I've been too busy recently..." She apologized as she walked into the room. When she saw her brother on the sofa next to her, Furukawa Etsuko was stunned, "Is that you?"

Furukawa Koji also turned to look at her, and the big gold chain around his neck clicked: "Hey! Sister, long time no see."

The relationship between the siblings seemed not to be very good. Furukawa Etsuko's smile disappeared: "What are you doing here? I remember that my mother just issued an expulsion order to you a few days ago, prohibiting you from visiting the house again."

Furukawa Koji impatiently exhaled a puff of smoke: "None of your business, this is my home, I can come back when I want!"

While speaking, he caught a glimpse of the watch on Furukawa Etsuko's wrist. He was suddenly stunned as if he had discovered a new world, and then laughed mercilessly:

"What happened to your poor electronic watch? It was specially embedded in a metal case to show off—I know! Your Swiss watch worth more than 500,000 yuan was taken away, right? Because you borrowed money from a loan shark. Also, hahaha! I never imagined that my excellent sister would have such a day."

Etsuko Furukawa became angry as if her tail had been stepped on: "It's not your turn to laugh at me! The money you borrowed outside is no less than mine - this time you came to your mother just to ask her to help you clean up the mess and pay it back. Those gambling debts, right, you hopeless gambler!"

Furukawa Koji sneered: "I am a gambler, how can you be any better?"

He suddenly pointed at Jiang Xia with a cigarette between his fingers: "You suddenly came to the detective, didn't you just want to show off your filial piety in this way, so that my mother's stubborn **** will be moved by you and give you money? You are an emotional liar, Don’t think others can’t see through your tricks!”

 The siblings quickly got into a quarrel.

Jiang Xia took a sip of tea: "It's quite lively. Is everything they said true?"

When the maid heard someone asking the question, she subconsciously whispered: "Miss Etsuko's club is on the verge of bankruptcy due to a broken capital chain. Mr. Koji does owe gambling debts and is now being chased by debt collectors every day."

Xinshengmaru found it unreasonable: "Isn't their mother the president of the lending club? Why are they so short of money?"

The maid couldn't help but said: "Madam is obsessed with money, and she is very obsessed with collecting debts. She will not give a single yen to those who do not intend to repay the money, even her own sons and daughters. .”

After hesitating for a moment, she added: "The only exception is probably Young Master Hao'er. The old lady used to give him some money every three to five. But Young Master Hao'er has become more aggressive and it's like a bottomless pit. That's why the old lady finally couldn't bear it a few days ago and banned him from entering." Come in here.”

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Is this maid really not from Uzo? The secret of the master's family is revealed.

But after thinking about it, he suppressed his doubts: It wasn't the fact that "Uzo's minions were everywhere" that made him despair, but that people in Tokyo were almost all so enthusiastic - yes, it should be just a coincidence, nothing more. think.

 Apparently there was more than one person who heard the maid muttering.

At some point, the two siblings stopped arguing and looked at each other with evil eyes.

Furukawa Etsuko scolded: "Xiao Zi, what are you talking about!"

Machida Azusa was startled, holding the tray and lowering her head to pretend to be mute.

Etsuko Furukawa has just been exposed, and she is too embarrassed to be in front of her friends and detectives. She looked towards the second floor. Now that the detective has been invited, it's time to find the old lady and ask her about her situation on the day of the attack.

Furukawa Etsuko walked towards the stairs and glared at the maid: "Come here! Stop gossiping with the guests and go and ask mother to come down with me."

The maid responded submissively and was about to follow when Koji Furukawa smiled again: "You are not hired by my sister, so why should you obey her orders? Instead of trying to please her, why don't you come over and please me - as long as I talk nicely to mom With a few words, the money you owe can be written off immediately."

Furukawa Etsuko stopped and sneered: "You have time to hook up with the maid, why not first think about how to coax your mother to change her mind - let's go, Azusa. Ignore such brainless things."

 The two women went upstairs one after the other. Only the guests and Koji Furukawa were left looking at each other in the living room.

　　I was also idle. Jiang Xia put down the tea cup and asked casually: "Listen to what you just said, does the maid owe money?"

“Yeah.” Koji Furukawa lit another cigarette out of boredom and gossiped casually: “She’s cheap, but people are always clumsy, and my mother’s Persian carpet was stained when I was cleaning the bedroom today.

“The carpet that allowed my mother to lay it in her bedroom was not cheap. Her year-end bonus and salary were wiped out instantly. Unfortunately, the money was just a drop in the bucket. In order to pay for the carpet, she had to write an IOU.

“Haha, you said it’s so funny. You came to work to earn money, but ended up paying for it. And this happened more than once, and she had lost things several times before.

"After all, this little idiot didn't make any money at all from my house, but instead received a lot of money - I made a bet with my friend a while ago on how long she would last before quitting, but I didn't expect that she could endure it better than I thought. "

 Speaking of "gamble", Koji Furukawa hissed, remembering a fatal thing.

 He got up and walked out: "Tomorrow is the repayment day again. I have to buy a small gift first and coax the old woman into good health today."

Soon, several people in Furukawa’s family left, leaving only a group of guests sitting in the living room, looking at each other.

Maya Hashimoto eased the atmosphere: “It’s not easy for a wealthy family.”

"What kind of wealthy family is this?" Sunshengmaru raised his chin with a look of disdain, "But brothers and sisters are really troublesome. They are useless except to steal the family property. Fortunately, although my brothers are not good people, my parents are Very reliable.”

Mrs. Xun smiled: "Don't say that, everyone is excellent."

Xunzhengwan snorted in his heart, but he knew that his mother, the stepmother, had to show her attitude, so she didn't say anything else.

 …

 At this time, upstairs.

The maid and Etsuko Furukawa went up to the second floor and walked to the door of the old lady's bedroom.

The two of them knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.

Etsuko Furukawa had no choice but to use some force, knocking and shouting: "Mom, don't sleep, we have a guest!"

There was no movement in the room. When I opened the door, it was locked.

The maid frowned in confusion: "My wife used to be a light sleeper and would wake up as soon as she knocked on the door. Why did she sleep so deeply today?"

“Maybe you don’t want to see me.” Etsuko Furukawa laughed tiredly, took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat, “Who asked me to...”

 She didn't hold it steady and the handkerchief fell to the ground.

Etsuko Furukawa sighed and knelt down to pick it up.

At this moment, a "bang" shot came from the bedroom, which was extremely eye-catching in the night.
