Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 751 Cosplay Plus To Alliance Lord [Sun and Moon Hulu]

   With the police officer leading the team, Mikazu Sato, Jiang Xia quickly entered the yard.

   And before that, Conan sneaked in because he had a very low sense of existence at times.

   Huiyuan Ai was not with him, she looked left and right, and finally followed Jiang Xia through the cordon and mixed into the scene.

  Without the courtyard wall, the scene in the courtyard is clearer.

   This is a typical Japanese-style courtyard, interspersed with rocks and shrubs, and a small but delicate pool is built in one corner of the courtyard.

   The three entered the yard, looked around, and instinctively looked to the side of the pool.

  —The police are the most crowded there.

After    approached, there was no busy police to block his sight, and he could see a stiff corpse lying on his back in the pond.

  The upper body of the corpse was stained with a large amount of blood, and the blood in the heart was the darkest, as if it had been stabbed with a knife. Judging from the places that were not stained with blood, his shirt turned out to be a yellow-pink plaid shirt.

  Yellow and Pink…

  "..." Haibara Ai was startled, and immediately thought of the dead cat she just picked up. If I remember correctly, the fibers of the clothes hanging on the cat's claws are exactly these two colors.

   There are fewer clothes in this color scheme... And if there is this deceased among the people the cat met before he died, then this "cat-beating incident" has some connection with the murder case?

   This coincidence made Ai Haibara a little surprised.

   But she looked up at the detective next to her, and suddenly felt that this seemed very reasonable...

Haibara Ai touched her chin, and while observing the corpse, she quietly walked to the gods, recalling the location of several famous shrines, and temples that I did not visit often but I heard of famous names: Maybe when I have time, I should look for them. An excuse to take Jiang Xia with you?

   Although there is no such thing as "Kudo Shinichi's Revenant". But this kind of overly strong event physique always makes people think of weird things. If you can go to the exorcism place to walk through the process, it will be reassuring...

  …

   "The murder weapon was not found around. We are expanding the search area with this hotel as the center, but so far, there is still no result."

   Sato Miwako flipped through her notebook and told Jiang Xia some situations that might be useful, so that Jiang Xia could integrate and process these pieces of information as before, and then quickly output the truth.

   — Officer Sato is already very proficient in this information-filling process. In other words, the police officers who have been in contact with Jiang Xia are very skilled:

"The initial estimate is that the time of death was from midnight to 2 o'clock yesterday. The first person who found the body was the store manager Akazawa Zenichi. He usually lives in this hotel. This morning, when it was about to open, he passed by the yard and accidentally Saw his staff floating in the pond."

When    said this, Sato Miwako deliberately glanced to the side.

   Jiang Xia followed the line of sight she directed and saw a man with gray hair.

  The man looks around sixty years old, with an old-fashioned back, and an elegant suit. Just looking at these words, he looks like an old-fashioned and serious grandfather. In reality, however, what he was wearing inside his suit turned out to be a conspicuous pink shirt, which looked weird and a little funny.

   This is the owner of this shop, and the first person to discover the body - Akazawa Zenichi.

   Jiang Xia was looking at him. At this moment, on the other side of the house, there was a faint sound of chaotic footsteps, as well as small whispers, as if many people were walking this way.

  —The body fell in this restaurant, and the deceased happened to be an employee of the restaurant.

   No matter how you look at it, the employees in this restaurant are a bit more suspect than others.

  So just now, Sato Miwako asked the police to find the employees scattered all over the place.

  Conan was originally observing the corpse. Hearing the noisy movement, he raised his head and glanced at the "Young Master Fang" employees who walked to the side.

  Originally, Conan just wanted to take a cursory glance to see the approximate number of people, and then continue to check the corpse himself while listening to Jiang Xia's exchanges with the employees and looking for clues.

   However, after a glance, Conan stared at the employees, dumbfounded.

   Jiang Xia's gaze also fell on the people walking by, and stopped for a while.

  The clothes of the employees look out of place with the normal modern city - kimonos and old-fashioned clothes are mixed, but a lot of fancy and exaggerated elements are added.

   Originally, the pink shirt of the old store manager Akazawa Zenichi was very eye-catching.

   But now that these people come, the store manager is perfectly integrated into it, and combined with the ancient buildings here, those who are out of tune have become outsiders like them.

  “…”

   Strange-shaped employees stopped five or six meters away from the pond and were stopped by the police.

   A few security guards with steel forks passed the police, glanced into the blood-stained pool, and muttered, "Is Lao Yang killed?"

Next to   , a hot-blooded young man rolled up his sleeves exaggeratedly, and said angrily in a dramatic tone: "Which **** did it?! For such a villain, even if God forgives him, I will never forgive him lightly!"

   The old woman next to him held a handkerchief and dipped the corners of her eyes with hard tears. She seemed moved to agree: "Young master has a strong sense of justice. Seeing your attitude, Lao Yang's spirit in the sky must be able to rest in peace."

  "..." Haibara Ai was also a little confused just now.

   At this moment, she suddenly heard a few familiar keywords and gradually understood: "..."Young Master"?"

   Thinking about the big characters "Young Yefang" hanging on the door of the hotel, Hui Yuanai immediately understood it completely, and whispered to Jiang Xia, "...That's what the name of the hotel means."

   Jiang Xia nodded and pointed to a small wooden sign next to the pond: "This pond with dead bodies is also called 'Sanshilang Pond'."

   "Sanshiro" and "Young Master" are both novels by Soseki Natsume.

   Combined with the "nonsense" of the staff just now, the situation of this hotel is relatively clear.

  —It should be a theme hotel related to Natsume Soseki. Judging from the name of the hotel "Master Pavilion", the main project is the book "Master". And the dresses of the employees in the store correspond to the characters in "Young Master".

   The protagonist of "Young Master" is of course "Young Master". He has a righteous and impulsive personality. After graduation, the young master said goodbye to his kind mother-in-law Aqing and went to a school in Shikoku to become a teacher. However, the school was smoky, the dean who likes to wear a red shirt and his dog legs gave the protagonist a lot of blows. At the end of the novel, the "young master" and the straightforward "porcupine" beat the dean of the dean "red shirt" and the dog together Legs, resigned in anger and left.

   As for the "Old Man" played by the deceased...he was a hapless and honest man who was submissive.
