Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 754 Demons, ghosts and monsters leave

   As Jiang Xia clicked the door closed.

  In the corridor outside the door, the three fell silent for a while.

   "...I don't think it's him."

  Ai Haibara lowered her voice, and spoke in a half-voiced, half-speculative manner, and said quietly: "Officer Sato said that the deceased was stabbed to death by a sharp object. And that person just now... I don't think he needs a knife."

  Conan is thinking of Maurilan an hour ago, and the innocent iron rod that was straightened and bent by her.

   He raised his hand pretending to be calm, and pushed his glasses in shock. After two seconds, he really came back to his senses.

   Remembering what Haibara Ai said just now, he added with hindsight: "Not necessarily, if he is really the murderer, it cannot be ruled out that he deliberately carried a knife to cover up the characteristics of his crime."

   Jiang Xia silently listened to their discussion without interrupting.

   When the "dogleg" punched the ground just now, there was a bit of murderous aura.

It's just very fast, maybe Yoshikawa just picked up the butcher knife and immediately became a Buddha and figured it out, or maybe he remembered that Lao Yang was dead... In short, those murderous auras that suddenly appeared, quickly fell off, Then he was happily grabbed by the cat and dragged away—this new cat, although he has not officially signed a contract, looks like a very good working ghost.

   "Write down the doubts first, and tell Officer Sato later."

   After the two children finished their discussion, Jiang Xia made a summary of what was necessary for them, and moved his fingers slightly to hide the murderous aura that the "dogleg" had just dropped.

   Then he walked to the next door in a good mood: "Look at the next one."

  …

  It's a pity that the remaining two people didn't look so violent.

   Behind the second door is Shima Liusuke, who plays "Master".

  The "Master" in the book has a strong sense of justice and is impulsive and stubborn.

   But after the play, Shima Liusuke looked like an ordinary young man.

"My mother passed away last year." "Master" sighed, "before she left, she kept complaining that I was impatient and couldn't do anything for long. So I wanted to do this job well and let her see my abilities. ...However, Lao Yang was very dissatisfied with me, and he would say things like 'if you can't do it well, then leave,' and even started looking for a new 'young master' candidate."

   "I feel very angry when I think that it's rare for me to persevere in a job, only to be fired by someone else.

   "But I am..."

  Rokusuke Shima was originally sitting, but suddenly he was lying flat. In order to match the theme, of course, this private room was a traditional private room with tatami mats.

The young master spread out on the tatami in the shape of "big", looking at the ceiling and sighing: "Angry is just anger, I really never thought of killing him, although I don't have an alibi, but I'm not the murderer, you must solve the case seriously. , don't wrong good people."

  …

   After jotting down some seemingly useless points, the three returned to the corridor and came to the sliding door of the last box.

   Inside is a "porcupine" with a rough beard and dressed like a wandering samurai.

  ——In the book "Master", the straightforward porcupine eventually became the protagonist's partner and helped the protagonist punish the two villains together.

Before   Conan entered the door, he remembered the "dogleg" who looked weak but could actually pierce the solid ground with one punch. Think about the burly size of the "porcupine"...

   He couldn't help but adjust the anesthesia watch on his hand to make it more convenient for firing.

   Haibara Ai glanced at him, obviously inspired, so he also looked at himself.

   Then she found that the only weapons she could use as weapons seemed to be two tubes of anesthetic in her pocket.

  "..." Unfortunately, these are not launch types. If you want to use them, you can only get close to them. For a person of her strength and size, it may not be able to pierce anyone at all...

  Haihara pondered rationally for a moment, and finally did not take out the anesthetic, but silently shrank behind Jiang Xia.

   In the sight of two people who are like enemies.

   Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and opened the door.

  Behind the door that opened slowly, the sturdy big brother was sitting in the room with his knees together, holding a mirror-sized circular embroidery stretcher in one hand and a needle in the other, and was earnestly embroidering.

   "..." Haibara Ai stuck out half of her head and observed it vigilantly.

   found that those beautiful patterns were actually embroidered by "porcupine" herself, not just holding a stretcher, and she walked out from behind Jiang Xia cautiously.

  A man who loves embroidery should not have such a bad temper...

  …

   "My festival with Lao Yang..." "Porcupine" became a little worried when he heard their question.

   He stopped the needle in his hand: "In fact, there is no festival. It's just that my mother always told me that as long as a person's desire is strong enough, it will come true sooner or later.

   "So after I came here, I prayed sincerely in my heart every day - I hope Lao Yang will not let me play 'Porcupine' again."

   Having said this, under the staring eyes of the three people on the opposite side, a tear of a fierce man silently fell into the wild beard of "Porcupine".

  It may be that he mentioned sad things, and the tears of "Porcupine" quickly poured out, and soon they converged into a river on the face of the muscle knot. He wiped away his tears in grievance: "...I, I just want to play Madonna! I have carefully figured out the role, and I will definitely be able to play it well, but no matter what I say, Lao Yang ignores me, and Madonna has always been played by Yuanshan. ... where am I inferior to her!"

  “…”

  The room fell silent.

   After a while, Jiang Xia slowly bent down and slowly picked up the two petrified children.

   And then back out the door at the speed of light:

   "Excuse me, farewell."

   He slammed the sliding door shut.

  …

   seems to be because there are no onlookers. A second later, the crying in the box suddenly became heroic, from grievance and whimper to sad howl.

   The cries that penetrated the door made the walls seem to be shaking, and also made the three people outside the door shudder.

   They didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.

Conan fled the scene with Jiang Xia, while arranging the watch in his hand a little embarrassedly: he made a mistake, he only guarded against physical attacks, but he didn't expect that the people in this room were spiritual... Speaking of which, this family What the **** is going on in the store, why does everyone feel weird.

   Haibara Ai still barely remembers the business.

   She turned her head with lingering fears and looked at the three gates that were gradually receding behind her, as if she saw the gates of hell, or something that needed to be firmly suppressed.

After a while, she came back to her senses, silently covered her face, and then said seriously: "...except for the 'young master', I always feel that the mental state of the other two people is not stable."... In other words, they may anger innocent cats. .
