Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 752 Huiyuan sadly understands Jiageng to the leader [Xiyali]

  In the story, Lao Yang has a beautiful fiancee "Madonna".

   And the dean of education, "Red Shirt", fell in love with her. In order to take Madonna and keep it for himself for a long time, Red Shirt, together with the principal, transferred Lao Yang to a remote area to teach.

  ... At this time, it may have been played for a long time, and the play was too deep.

   After discovering the body of "Lao Yang" in the pool.

  The straightforward "Porcupine" touched his unshaven chin, frowned at the store manager, and said with a heavy heart, "Red Shirt, you're finally killing Lao Yang for Madonna's sake."

   The beautiful woman who played Madonna was startled and covered her face unacceptably: "How could this be..."

   "..." The store manager was the store manager after all, and the first one to become normal, he straightened his collar and sighed, "What are you thinking, I won't do such despicable things."

   There is a sound of the folding fan opening. The slender man playing the dogleg in the red shirt waved his fan and quickly agreed: "That's right. The store manager wouldn't do such a despicable thing."

   The person playing the fat principal twisted his moustache and pulled them apart: "Okay, okay, they are all their own people, how can they doubt each other."

   Officer Sato: "..."

Her forehead jumped, her fists made a clicking sound, and she tried to keep smiling: "Everyone, now is not the time to act... Let's go into the hall first and tell us about your relationship with the deceased. If you have other clues, please provide them as well. Give me."

   With a group of employees, she found a room nearby and went in to ask.

  Conan instinctively sneaked over to eavesdrop.

  Haihara looked sadly at the door of that room, then looked at Jiang Xia, stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Jiang Xia's clothes.

   After Jiang Xia squatted down skillfully and shortened the distance between the two, she leaned over and whispered, "Aren't you going to tell Officer Sato about the cat?"

  ...If the yellow-pink fibers on the cat's paws are indeed from the shirt of the deceased 'Lao Yang'. That means that the first scene of the murder is probably not this strange hotel, but the park where they picked up the cat corpse before.

   This makes Haibara Ai a little puzzled - this is obviously an important clue. She can think of this kind of thing, Jiang Xia must also understand, but now, Jiang Xia, who has always cooperated happily with the police, has deliberately concealed the clues.

   This made Haibara Ai instinctively tense, and began to wonder if this meant that the case this time was related to the organization. After all, apart from this reason, she couldn't think of why Jiang Xia suddenly solved the case passively.

   Jiang Xia's eyes moved, and he withdrew his eyes glued to the staff, watching the murderous look, and remembered that he really forgot to say.

  … Fortunately, this is not a big deal.

He calmly said: "No hurry, let's look for clues first, it will be more convenient to talk about it together when the time comes. And the fewer clues the police have, the easier it is for the murderer to relax his vigilance, maybe even when he doesn't know it himself. Exposed flaws."

   "Is that so..." Haibara nodded knowingly. These cops are really unreliable when it comes to solving crimes. I was too impatient just now. When dealing with the police in the future, I have to learn more from Jiang Xia...

  …

   Jiang Xia walked around the yard, checked the body again, and stopped briefly at various places where there might be clues.

   Demonstrate the steps of "collecting clues" to the onlookers, so that they can explain their relevant intelligence sources in the future.

  Jiangxia walked into the hotel door and found the lobby.

   - This is where the police temporarily borrowed to question witnesses.

   At this point, the basic inquiry has been completed. After being questioned by the police, a few familiar employees finally lost the atmosphere of easy acting just now, and were gathering together, muttering something in a low voice.

Next to   , Sato Miwako looked through the new information collected, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Xia entering the house.

   She came over naturally, and consciously added information to Jiang Xia, starting with the relatively important:

   "At present, the store manager is the most suspicious. Not only does he usually live in the store, but he is also the first person to discover the body.

   "The most important thing is that it's not just drama. In reality, he and the deceased who played 'Lao Yang' are also rivals in love - they both like to play 'Madonna' from the distant mountains."

  The manager is a normal person. He obviously also realized his situation from the inquiry just now.

   When Officer Sato spoke to Jiang Xia in a low voice, he unconsciously glanced at him, and the store manager was keenly aware of the clue.

   He waved his hands hastily, defending himself: "Lao Yang is the backbone of personnel here, how could I kill him and break his arm?"

   However, this explanation sounds pale and powerless - the Tokyo people here have seen some murder cases more or less, and they know this kind of words well, and they are simply unable to prove their innocence.

   But Jiang Xia quite believed him.

   He glanced at the clean calf of the store manager, looked away dully, and turned to the other employees.

  Conan caught the clue of "rival in love" and was ready to move.

   He looked around carefully, and felt that there was no one here who looked like a member of the black-clothed organization—Haihara Ai didn’t count, she had already defected.

   So Conan carefully unleashed a little detective nature.

   He turned to Madonna, the deceased person, and the conflicting point of the store manager: "Sister Madonna, do you have any clues about the relationship between them? For example, when you are very close to one of them, the expression of the other one..."

   Madonna thought hard. She shook her head and nodded again, a little sad and a little confused:

"Yes, but because in "Young Master", 'Lao Yang' and 'Red Shirt' are rivals in love, so I thought they were just pretending to be in front of the client, or they were too involved in the drama - 'Lao Yang' usually treats us very much Strictly, we are often told that if we want to play a role well, we must put our whole heart into it. So even if the client is not there, we will maintain the identity of the people in the play. I didn’t expect…”

   Maybe because she thought that the death of "Lao Yang" was probably related to her. She didn't say any more, sighed, and left with a sad expression.

   Now that the inquiry has been completed, except for Madonna, many employees have left here just now.

   After the rest of the backbone also left, Sato Mikazu closed the door and sighed.

   She handed Jiang Xia the record of the inquiry just now:

"Things are a bit troublesome... Although the contradiction between the store manager and the old Yang Yang is indeed quite prominent. But upon closer inspection, all the actors here except the store manager have a bad evaluation of the deceased. In other words, they all have motives. .

  "——In the novel, Lao Yang is an honest man who accepts everything, doesn't know how to refuse, and even helps to count the money after being tricked.

   "But in reality, the deceased was very strict with the employees. He was usually in charge of guiding the employees' acting skills and had the right to fire them."
