Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 62 It's so hard to silence

  Conan chased after him and observed, for a while he couldn't tell whether Jiang Xia hadn't woken up or was sleepwalking.

   However, it doesn't matter, it can be called anyway - the widely circulated "wake up when sleepwalking will make you go crazy" is actually a rumor. On the contrary, if you let sleepwalkers turn around, it will easily cause more harm.

   Of course, awakening also requires attention to methods.

   Try to avoid operations such as "shaking hard", because physical contact under confusion can easily be judged as "attack" by sleepwalkers, which will lead to resistance.

   No matter what others do, resistance can be suppressed.

   But Jiang Xia...

  Conan remembered those criminal suspects who had blue noses and swollen faces. After seeing the police, they looked like they had seen their relatives. He silently withdrew his outstretched hand, stepped back cautiously, and started to make noise next to Jiang Xia.

   Makes a sharp and abrupt sound, which is a safe way to wake up.

  …

   Jiang Xia walked to his room for a while.

   He felt that Takahashi Ryoichi almost ran away, and then he tapped Conan's head with a finger, muted the noise source that had started howling inexplicably, and then turned back to Maurilan's room.

   There was such a commotion at night, and the people in the other rooms also woke up and gathered in Mao Lilan's room.

  Takahashi Ryoichi changed his clothes in the vacant room next door, mixed in with the crowd, and pretended to have just woken up and was attracted by the screams.

   He caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia approaching from the corner of his eye, and touched his thick hair with lingering fears, secretly glad that Jiang Xia didn't hit him on the forehead, but on the side of his head, and the bruise would not be seen.

  …

   Knowing that a dangerous element has sneaked into the villa, everyone lost sleep.

  Some people went to the balcony to check, looking for traces of the bandaged man, and some people whispered about the origin of the bandaged man, but the discussion could not be concluded.

Conan looked at the people in the room, leaned beside Jiang Xia and said in a low voice, "It's raining outside, if the bandaged person climbs to the balcony first, and then sneaks into the room, he will definitely step on the mud marks, but the room is very clean, Only a trace of rain..."

   Conan didn't say anything about the rest of the sentence, but he believed that Jiang Xia would understand - the bandaged man who attacked Mao Lilan was not an intruder from the outside world, but a member of the villa.

   The enemy inside is the most terrifying and cannot be prevented.

   But Jiang Xia is definitely not the murderer.

  Let's not say anything else, just the fact that Jiang Xia and the Bandage Man appeared at the same time was enough to prove his innocence - Jiang Xia couldn't always be able to clone himself.

   Jiang Xia said perfunctorily: "Hmm."

   He glanced at Conan and always felt that since the KTV incident, Conan always treated him with an attitude of "You must know that I am Kudo Shinichi".

  Kudou-kun himself had to lose his horse, and Jiang Xia had no reason to stop it. But now, Jiang Xia glanced at Takahashi's undiminished murderous aura, knowing that it wasn't time yet, so he didn't want to reason.

   So Jiang Xia looked around and pointed out the fact that sooner or later it would be discovered, or rather, the fact that it has not been discovered until now: "Why didn't you see Miss Ikeda?"

   Jiang Xia didn't lower his voice, he used a normal volume.

   The others were stunned, and after looking at each other for a while, they rushed to the room next door to Tomokako Ikeda.

   There was no one in the room, and there were no traces of fighting such as blood. There was a set of worn pajamas on the bed, and all the luggage was there, as if Chikako Ikeda had left by herself.

The long-haired handsome man reasoned a little, and was suddenly shocked: "Could the bandaged person be Tomokako!? She is usually weird. I heard that many novelists have eccentricities. Maybe she was stunned and put in some kind of bandage murderer... …”

  Conan interrupted his proper association: "The bandaged man's figure is much thicker than elder sister Chikako."

   said, Conan raised his hand and gestured: "When I stopped him, I hugged his waist, and it felt like it was so thick."

  What the child said, few people took it seriously.

   Of course, Ikeda Chikako = bandaged person's speculation, is ignored.

   The only thing that has been agreed is that the classmates disappeared suddenly and cannot be ignored.

   So a group of people brought flashlights, went into the woods, and looked for Chikako Ikeda separately.

   Jiang Xia kept up with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

   On the one hand, they are more familiar with them, and on the other hand, this can effectively prevent Takahashi Ryoichi from seeing Mao Lilan, and he will come over and chop an axe.

  Takahashi Ryoichi did have a similar idea, and he was anxious to silence.

   However, when he moved separately, he saw Jiang Xia walking to Mao Lilan's side, and suddenly stopped silently.

  According to Takahashi Ryoichi's previous investigation, the door of the villa is very strong, and it takes several knocks to open it. However, just now, Jiang Xia kicked the door open with an understatement. It can be seen that this high school student's force value far exceeds that of ordinary people. Now the time is urgent, it is best not to go hard.

   Moreover, Takahashi was indeed a little embarrassed. The pillow Jiang Xia threw at him just now may have given him a concussion, and now, his head hurts from time to time...

  In the end, Takahashi went to the old school.

During the process of    looking for someone, Ryoichi Takahashi pretended to be out of breath and gradually fell behind.

   The woods at night were very dark, and after the students ran away, Takahashi secretly turned and went straight to where Chikako Ikeda was.

   He retrieved the axe that was thrown outside the house in the panic just now, found Tomokako Ikeda who was waiting in the woods in the distance, and without a word, chopped off her head with an axe. Then cut the person into pieces.

   Dividing the corpse is not only for venting anger, but also for taking Ikeda Chikako's head.

   This is an important part of Takahashi Manufacturing's alibi.

  Takahashi Ryo threw away the corpse. Then he took out the stuffing stuffed in front of his stomach, and after making room, he wrapped Chikako Ikeda's head and hid it.

  In this way, from the outside, he is still the same Takahashi classmate with a beer belly. No one would have thought that his belly is actually a human head.
