Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 357 Anonymous must belong to goldfish (joint chapter)

   Of course, when facing the police, Conan kept part of the truth and only said that the murderer who killed Councilman Swallow was probably among the people who were given the purple commemorative handkerchief.

  The murder of MPs in front of the eyes of the public is undoubtedly a major case.

  Although the police were unable to detain all the guests, they could barely manage to find seven people to cooperate with the investigation.

   Soon, the police began to look for the person above based on the list of seven people provided by the front desk.

  Although the list does not include photos of the guests, the people who can receive the invitation letter for this memorial service are more or less famous, and you can find their appearance by searching the Internet.

   Just now, Miwako Sato was looking for someone everywhere.

   When she passed the banquet hall, she glanced inwardly and saw Jiang Xia.

   followed closely, and noticed Pisk next to Jiang Xia. In Mikazu Sato's impression, the old man's name was Kenzo Satoyama, and he happened to be one of the seven people who got the purple commemorative handkerchief.

   There were seven people in total, and she caught two at once.

   However, when Sato Miwako crossed the banquet hall diagonally, chasing from the front door to the side door, Jiang Xia and the old man had already entered the winding and deep corridor.

   Sato took a wrong turn at the corner, and it was only a while late.

  Fortunately, in the end, she still found someone in time... Thinking of this, Sato Mikazu couldn't help but take a peek at how it looked like Pisk, who had just been beaten, and emphasized in her heart, um, just in time.

   In short, the two people who had been assigned purple handkerchiefs were detained by the police and led to the same room.

  Pisk could only cooperate with the investigation calmly in order to prevent his suspiciousness from being exposed. He looked at Jiang Xia from time to time, his wrinkled face wriggled as he clenched his teeth fiercely, and his expression was ugly as if he had just swallowed someone alive.

  …

   Different from the routine questioning that Pisk thought, this time, the police not only did not let them leave, but also did not allow them to communicate with the outside world.

   Piske remembered Shirley stored in the wine cellar, and he could only comfort himself while thinking about the villain Jiang Xiazha who wasted his time: Fortunately, he locked the door before leaving.

   In addition to the gate, the only connection to the outside world of the wine cellar is a chimney with a width of more than one meter.

   The sire might be able to support the inner wall of the chimney and barely climb up along it, but with Shirley's current size, it is absolutely impossible.

   And Pisk remembered that he was in a hurry to capture Jiang Xia, and left his laptop in the wine cellar.

   There is a sender installed on that computer.

   His communication is blocked now, Gin and others will definitely follow the locator to check.

Even before Jinjiu, another unknown organization member who was present would rush over to help with the finishing touches... Having said that, who is this unknown member? Always support him, but no one can be seen the whole time, tui! Tissue worms.

Although his mood had already fallen to the bottom, Pisk took a general look at the current situation and felt that the problem was not a big deal. Open a stool and sit down and wait for the police to ask.

  …

  The Meguro Police Department detained the relevant suspicious persons according to Kudo Shinichi's request.

   But after that hasty conversation, he found that Kudo Shinichi actually didn't have any ideas for the next step, and the evidence was far from complete.

   Just like this, I can't detain these people for too long...

   After thinking about it, the eyes of the Mumu Police Department couldn't help but turn to Jiang Xia again.

   Among so many guests, there were only seven people who had been sent the purple handkerchief, and Jiang Xia was one of them.

  Since Jiang Xia himself fits the characteristics of "being sent to a purple handkerchief" that Kudo Shinichi cares about, then he may be more aware of what this "key point" is when he is in it.

Even if the alcohol harms people, Jiang Xia is not in the state today, but the so-called dead camel is bigger than the horse... and the police department thinks about it, and feels that according to Jiang Xia's usual performance, his speed in solving the case is almost like some kind of instinct. , in case he can really see through the real body of the murderer.

   The more the Mumu Police Department thought about it, the more drama it seemed.

   He leaned over and stunned Jiang Xia, who was looking out the window with his eyes half-opened, who seemed to be watching the snow scene.

   Then whispered to him the cause and effect of today's events.

   In the end, he did not forget to add in a low voice: "If there is someone you think is suspicious among these six people, don't say it directly, just tell me secretly."

   Those who can sit here, even if they are not big dogs, at least they are elites from all walks of life.

   In case Jiangxia's reasoning was wrong, it would offend people too much.

   But if the reasoning is right... it will be even more offended.

   The most fearful thing is that the reasoning is correct, but no evidence is found. In this way, it always feels that Jiang Xia will soon be accidentally killed because of "you know too much".

   In short, even if the murderer is to be announced, they have to wait for the police to actually catch the person.

  …

   Jiang Xia was inexplicably poured into a mutilated head of the police department version spoiler.

   After listening, he pondered for a moment, then nodded - anyway, he had already found an excuse not to solve the case, no matter what the police department said, he would agree first, and then paddle.

   After fooling the police department, Jiang Xia continued to turn his head to look out the window.

   Looking down from the window here, you can have a panoramic view of most of the road. It is convenient for him to judge the time to sneak into the cellar.

  …

   in the wine cellar.

   Huihara Ai was gradually awakened by the hard floor.

   She raised her hand to cover her eyes in confusion, and looked at the ceiling higher than the ordinary room through her fingers. When her eyes fell on the old chandelier on the ceiling, countless fragments of memory quickly jumped out and joined together, awakening her memory.

   Haibara Ai suddenly remembered the murder in the banquet hall, and the unknown person who took her away after the banquet hall was lifted.

   She sat up in panic, turned around and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

  The room occupies a large area, the walls are old, the edges are affixed with simple wooden wainscoting panels, and there are many display cabinets with wine bottles in the middle.

   is a dilapidated wine cellar. At first glance, there seems to be no one else in the house...

   Haibara Ai was still in shock and looked at him with some doubts. At this moment, the tip of her ear moved slightly, and she heard something in her pocket calling her name intermittently.

   She reached in and felt it, and took out a thumb-sized, tawny badge.

   This is the Boy Detective Corps badge made by the doctor.

  To catch Conan today, Haibara Ai took the coat hanging by the door when he went out.

   She has been staying at home for quite a while, and this coat was the last time she went out with the elementary school students. The badge was in her pocket and I forgot to take it out.

   On the other hand, Conan didn't have time to bring his badge because he was in a hurry to pry the gin's car.

   After finding out that Haibara Ai was missing, Conan first tried to find Jiang Xia in the crowd and wanted him to help. But I couldn't find where the Jiangxia people were, and the phone couldn't get through.

  Conan had to go to the doctor again by luck.

   Dr. A Li was still driving a small Beetle, waiting on the nearby snow-covered street.

  Conan asked him to try to contact the badge of Haibara Ai, and was surprised and lucky to find that Haibara Ai actually carried it.

However, it may be because the badge is about to run out of power, or the signal is not good. This badge, which should have a positioning function, the signal point displayed on the screen is floating from time to time, and it can only be vaguely positioned at the Cuphu Hotel. around the city. Its communication function is also limited to a certain extent, and I don't know how long it can support it.

   in the cellar.

   Haibara Ai silently stared at the badge that was shouting from the air. After hesitating for a while, he picked it up and simply answered a few questions, and told the people in the car what he had observed.

   After that, she got up, walked to the door of the wine cellar, raised her hand and twisted the doorknob.

   found that the door was locked, and Haibara was silent for a moment, losing her high light.

Facing the badge, she whispered sadly: "The drug-related information, as well as the organization information I know, are stored in the hidden folder of the computer, and the doctor knows the password. After the organization takes away my body, you can try to use Those data to study APTX4869 and its antidote.

"In addition, after this incident, there will be more people who know that it has a chance of causing adults to become smaller. You can't be so leisurely in the future, pay attention to hiding, don't implicate Jiang Xia and Dr. ... Well, I should say it. It's all over, let's go, don't contact me any more, you will be implicated."

   "...Wait!" Conan's eyes jumped when he heard this. Affected by the signal, Haibara Ai's voice was very intermittent, but the pessimism that was like last words was conveyed unabated.

   It can't go on like this...

  Conan tried hard to enlighten, trying to arouse Haibara's desire to survive:

"It's not time to give up! Jiang Xia is also at the Cuphu City Hotel today. If he finds out that you are dying next to him, he will definitely begin to investigate this matter seriously. With his ability, it won't take long to find out. The existence of the organization, and the deeper he investigates, the more dangerous things will become... Even for him, for us, you can't just die like this."

Haibara Ai:"……"

The first half of    made her heart skip a beat.

   In the second half, it gradually became a lot of vomit.

... Every time I think of Conan shouting to find the man in black, and Jiang Tiantian passing by him, but he doesn't seem to notice, Haibara Ai always feels that the name "Famous Detective Kudo Shinichi" is mixed up. a lot of water.

   However, what Conan said made her have other worries.

  —Once the organization found out that she had lived outside for so long as a child, and was clean and tidy, and had a good life, the organization would have realized that someone had taken her in.

   Whether it is for confidentiality or simply revenge, the organization will strictly interrogate this. There are so many messy methods in the organization, and there are things like Veritaserum, in case she can't make it, and accidentally leaks relevant news...

  The blood-washed rice flower street, the corpses of acquaintances all over the floor, and the **** self slowly emerged in Haiyuan Ai's mind, and a cold sweat broke out.

   Later, she realized that the result of being captured by the organization was not just as simple as "killed" as she thought.

  ... In order to avoid the torment of those tortures and not implicate the people who helped her, she now has only two options—either die immediately, or find a way to leave alive!

  Ai Haibara turned her head slowly, little by little, her eyes fixed on the sharp corner of the table.

   After a while, he silently turned his head and looked at the chimney in the corner.

   Then his eyes began to wander back and forth between the corner of the table and the chimney, his eyes flickering and hesitating.

A few meters away, in the shadow of the top floor of the wine cabinet, Miyano Akemi was lying on the spread out puppet clay, rubbing her translucent Q-version cuffs nervously from time to time, looking at her with a posture that could fall from the sky with her skirt at any time. she.

   At the same time, Conan's voice came intermittently from the badge, and he introduced the current situation - the police have detained suspicious persons and prohibited them from using communication tools. As long as the "Pisk" is found and captured before the detention time expires, Haibara Ai will be temporarily safe.

  Ai Haibara silently listened to these situations, silently feeling some kind of gaze that seemed to come from heaven, and fell into contemplation.

  ...Actually, if you have to escape, it doesn't seem that you can't escape.

   Her eyes finally stopped on the chimney in the wine cellar, and her small hands stained with floor dust groped into the inner pocket, and slowly held a small box in the pocket.

  The chimney in the wine cellar is really difficult for children to climb.

   But if it's the size of an adult...

  Haihara Ai gritted her teeth, made up her mind, took out the box that was slightly hot from her grasp, poured out a capsule from it, and swallowed it with difficulty.

   This is one of the temporary antidote for APTX4869.

One late night before   , the child who rescued her to the doctor's house on the day she defected and called himself "Xiao Bai" climbed the window sill of the doctor's house and brought her a bottle of "Old Bai Ganer".

   At that time, Xiaobai told her that a person who was made smaller by APTX4869 could temporarily change back to an adult shape by drinking this "Old Baiganer" when he had a cold.

   At first, when he heard the name of the wine, Haiyuan Ai thought it was the wine made by Xiaobai's father or grandfather, and therefore suspected that it was actually some kind of staged research result on APTX4869.

   After careful investigation, it was determined that this is just a normal wine with a long history. It seems that the anonymous people just discovered its effect by accident.

   In short, according to the wine and information provided by Xiaobai, Haibara Ai developed some temporary antidote after several experiments.

   She didn't tell Dr. Li and Conan about this. Because when Xiaobai delivered the wine, he also said that these things should be kept strictly confidential, and even if there is a result, the antidote cannot be given to anyone other than the anonymous ones.

  So after Haibara Ai had achieved phased results, he had been waiting for Anonymous to come to the door.

   In addition, judging from Xiaobai and the anonymous name who is very similar to her sister, the anonymous people seem to have a habit of being absent-minded, so she usually takes some antidote on her body when she goes out, so that she can pass it when they meet on a narrow road.

However, after so long, no one came to look for her anonymously, and no one came to climb the window of her house in the middle of the night, as if they had forgotten about it... The antidote that I carried with me has come in handy now. .
