Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 63 Why haven't the police come

   After a lot of hard work, a group of people not only failed to find Chikako Ikeda, but also found even worse news.

  ——The suspension bridge was cut down.

   When I wanted to call the police and asked the police to search, they found that the telephone line was also cut off.

  The isolation from the world made the atmosphere in the villa suddenly tense.

  As the host, Ayako Suzuki worked hard. She found a box of poker and suggested that everyone find something to do. When it was dawn, they would be able to climb over the back mountain and ask the residents on the opposite side of the mountain to borrow the phone for help.

   At this time, Takahashi Ryo took a look upstairs, picked up the toolbox, and said that he was going to mend the broken window on the second floor so that people with bandages would not slip in there again.

   Jiang Xia looked at his back. After returning from the woods, Jiang Xia saw at a glance that Takahashi's murderous aura had digested a lot.

   In addition, on Takahashi Ryoichi's leg, there is an additional shikigami.

  It seems that this man has completed his murderous cause.

  …

  The balcony on the second floor is a long strip.

  Takahashi used the excuse of repairing the windows, waiting for an opportunity to arrange a set of traps on the balcony.

  He first took out Chikako Ikeda's head from his clothes and fixed it on an inflatable doll in the shape of a "bandage man". In this way, at first glance, it looks like Ikeda Chikako is being held in her arms by a bandaged person.

  A wire is attached to the head of the inflatable doll.

   After a while, as long as the "Bandage Man" and "Ikeda Chikako" swayed through the window on the first floor with a steel wire, the illusion of "Bandage Man hijacked Ikeda Chikako and rushed in a certain direction".

Then Takahashi can use the wire to pull the prop up, hide it in front of his stomach, chase the bandaged man with his classmates, and then take the opportunity to run into the woods, throw away the head, put on the stuffing, and "inadvertently" find the body of Chikako Ikeda piece.

   In this way, Takahashi and the bandage man appeared at the same time, and with an alibi, he could get away from the crime smoothly.

  Takahashi stood on the balcony, checking the wire of the inflatable doll, and went through the script in his mind, feeling like a genius.

  After tidying up the organs, Takahashi walked along the long balcony to the middle of the second floor, which was connected to the living room, and was only separated from the people downstairs by a railing.

  Suzuki Ayako looked up to see him and greeted, "Come down and drink the soup, I just made it."

   Takahashi responded.

   He pretended to take a step, then turned around suddenly, looked at the dark outside and shouted, "Who's there?!"

   "What's wrong!?" The others looked up at him nervously.

   Jiang Xia pushed away the chair and put down the poker.

   On the second floor, Ryoichi Takahashi's voice trembled and continued: "There is someone outside!"

   said, while others were looking out the window, Takahashi sneaked to the railing and pushed the "head bandage man" tied to the wire down.

   "Bandage Man" appeared outside the window with "Ikeda Chikako" hostage, eliciting exclamations.

  Takahashi showed a successful smile.

   He was about to pull back the puppet he had shown before, but at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the window.

  ——Jiang Xia grabbed the corner of the "bandaged man".

   The inflatable doll was forced to stop halfway.

  Takahashi pulled one end of the wire, watching the scene downstairs, a buzzing sound in his head, and he was stunned on the spot.

……how so! ?

  Other people in the villa saw this scene and rushed to the window, trying to stop the "bandaged man who kidnapped people" together with Jiang Xia.

  Takahashi was completely panicked as he watched more and more people gather. His mind was blank, and he subconsciously retracted the wire, trying to pull back the dolls and heads that could not be exposed.

As soon as    was stretched, Takahashi realized that he had done something stupid.

   However, it was obviously too late to regret it at this time - just at this moment, Jiang Xia let go, and as Takahashi Ryoichi tightened the wire, the "bandage man" rushed up unnaturally.

   The others were startled, looked up in horror, and happened to meet Ryo Takahashi.

   In the dead silence, Jiang Xia stretched out his hand, grabbed the leg of the inflatable doll, and pulled it down again.

   Then he raised his hand over the doll's head.

   The taut steel wire made a low humming sound of "zheng--".

   In an instant, everyone understood the principle of "Bandage Man" moving.

  Takahashi Ryoichi's face was ashen when he heard Jiang Xia ask softly, "Mr. Takahashi, what is this?"

   The voice of the younger generation is very polite, not aggressive, but strangely friendly. But in Takahashi's ears, it was like a bomb that exploded, shattering all the luck in his heart.

  ——In the middle of the night, the inflatables and human heads that pass by can be seen as real.

   But when he was surrounded by a group of people and looked at it carefully, the difference between it and the real person suddenly became obvious.

  Takahashi Ryoichi realizes that the plan has been revealed and runs away in a panic.

   However, just as he rushed to the door, he was knocked over by Jiang Xia from behind.

   Jiang Xia glanced at the soul on Takahashi Ryo's lap, as well as some of his remaining murderous aura towards Mao Lilan, and touched his stick in a good mood.

  Although the quality and quantity of the remaining murderous aura are average, as the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat...

  …

   The next day, a few boys climbed over the mountain and asked villagers to call the police.

   At noon, Takahashi Ryoichi, who lost his high light, was carried into a police helicopter.

  The police officers heard that the victim had been dismembered, and they were mentally prepared on the way.

   However, after seeing Takahashi Ryoichi, they found that "beware of murderous suspects to resist" seems like a superfluous operation.

  ——I don’t know why, when this maddened corpse mutilator saw the police, he burst into tears with excitement. Not only did he not run away, but he took the initiative to greet him, as if he had seen his relatives.

   This time, Jiang Xia did not slap his face considering the social impact.

   So the police officers are confused and can only temporarily attribute it to the conscience of the murderer.

   They happily escorted Takahashi Ryoichi to the plane, and then comforted the frightened victims in the villa.

   Being forced to live in the same room with such a brutal prisoner and staying there all night must be very hard.

  …

  Others also quickly rubbed off the police transportation and left the terrifying villa.

   On the way, except for Jiang Xia and Conan, everyone else was sullen.

  Suzuki Ayako started to have a fever on the way and seemed to be frightened.

   Jiang Xia saw her haggard appearance and reflected on her behavior a little. He should have called the police last night before taking the head off the inflatable doll.

  Compared to Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko and Maurilan are in much better condition.

  It may be because the two of them and Kudo Shinichi grew up together. They have been together as classmates until now, and they have encountered similar scenes from time to time, so they have a little antibody to the **** scene.

   But they are also very uninspired.

  Maolilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at Jiang Xia apologetically from time to time.

   finally whispered: "Sorry, I wanted to find you to relax, but I didn't expect..."

   Unexpectedly, he met Jiang Xia twice and encountered two murders. Although one was an attempt, the other was a dismemberment, which perfectly made up for the shortcomings of the attempted case...

   Jiang Xia looked at them and was secretly alert.

   If this goes on, Suzuki Sonoko and Maurilan will go to the murder scene to play in the future. What if they don't take him there.

……too frightening.

   Never allow this to happen.

"Don't blame yourself." Jiang Xia tried her best to recall the chicken soup she had been poured into before, and organized the language, "Although the lost life is a pity, being able to crack the trick and help the victim find out the truth can make me feel the value of my existence. ."

  ... In other words, he will not have a psychological shadow on the murder case.

   Please take him out more in the future.
