Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 779 Steps to Incorporate Anonymous

  Conan didn't see Haibara Ai's expression.

He also agreed with Jiang Xia's approach, and nodded his head with sympathy: "If Mian Guanyiyi really kills and hides the body, we will definitely expose the truth. But if Mian Guanyiyi is innocent, according to the client's current state , on the bad side, his subsequent behavior may rise from peeping to illegal entry, or even murder. It was not without such cases before, and it must be stopped in time."

   After saying what he remembered, he asked Jiang Xia, "Did you go to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask about the situation?"

   Jiang Xia shook his head: "Not yet, the guest is in a hurry. So after he came to the door, we came directly."

   He looked at the incoming tram: "Go to the Metropolitan Police Department and ask."

  …

   The three bear children may have consciously got into an accident. When the tram passed near their house, they seemed to say goodbye and got off, and then disappeared outside the door.

  Conan and Huiyuan Ai stayed like two gossip assistants who never left.

When    arrived at the station, Jiang Xia looked at Hai Yuanai with a little doubt: "You seem to be very interested in solving cases recently? I thought you would also get off at Mihua Town and leave a message, 'Then I'll go back to do the experiment first'."

  "..." Haibara shook his head sadly, "I haven't had any new ideas recently, and I have no experiments to do."

  … This is just one of the reasons.

On the other hand, after being frightened by the curly-haired black-clothed man passing by the door last time, Haibara Ai hid in the closet and missed Anonymous for one night, and then couldn't help but wonder about some of the Anonymous's habits - such as their Seems like he enjoys approaching or rescuing high school detectives, or going against the organization.

  The latter, Hui Yuanai single-handedly, did not dare to do it.

   But the former...

   It's rare for her to be so close to Jiang Xia, she doesn't follow much, she doesn't look like a qualified anonymous member.

  Although she didn't know why Anonymous did these things, but doing the same kind of behavior would give Haibara Ai a deeper sense of "I am also an anonymous member".

   In addition, she has not forgotten her conjecture that "Jiang Xia may be related to Anonymous".

   This kind of question is not easy to ask directly, you can only follow the opportunity and observe it secretly. In this way, maybe at some point, I can meet the sudden appearance of Anonymous... Huiyuan Ai thought of the Anonymous Miss who looked like her sister, and she secretly looked forward to it.

  …

   Jiang Xia came to the police station with two children, and turned into the office area by brushing his face familiarly, and happened to meet Sato Mikazu who was passing by with coffee.

   Officer Sato saw Jiang Xia at the Metropolitan Police Department and instinctively greeted him: "Come and take a transcript."

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  ...I almost forgot, there is such a thing.

  The transcript is also to be made, but there are other cases now, and the transcript needs to be put back a little.

   Jiang Xia held back the police officer Sato who was going to take him to make a record: "I came here this time, but I actually have other things..."

  …

   "Masao Koda...he is indeed a frequent visitor here recently."

  Miwako Sato put the saucer in front of Jiang Xia, picked up a cup, took a sip, and sighed: "Speaking of this, we actually have a headache."

   Jiang Xia heard the meaning attached to her words: "Do you think it is Koda Masao who is lying?"

   "It's not enough to lie... But to be blunt, we think that Masao Koda may be trying to find his missing sister so much that he has some conjectures." Officer Sato recalled the situation of Masao Koda:

"The missing Koda Sanae did have a holiday with Mian Guan Yoshiichi. However, according to our investigation, Mian Guan Yoshiichi is the president of Dongyuan Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. The company is currently operating normally, and he has no debt or is in urgent need. money place.

   "In this case, the stocks that Yoshiichi Miankan bought from Koda Sanae did lose money, but the sum of the lost money was only about 1.5 million yen.

  "——For ordinary people, it is indeed a lot more. But the president of a large company is definitely not guilty of killing people for this money.

   "Also, although Koda Masao's speculation sounds reasonable, there are actually many loopholes.

"He said 'Koda Sanae's colleague said that Sanae went to Watanagi's family that night, and Watanagi denied that he had seen Koda Sanae, which was a guilty conscience'. But in fact, Koda Sanae may also be going to Watanabe. The Guanyi family disappeared on the way.

   "Also, although there is a witness, according to our interview with the witness and the liquor house the witness went to that night, he was very drunk that day, and in that state, it was difficult for the witness to discern the surrounding environment rationally.

"It was late at night, and the street light happened to be broken again. When the witness heard the sound of 'shovel digging the ground', his field of vision was limited. In this case, human hearing is actually affected, and it is easy to not judge that the sound is coming from In addition, the wind was very strong that night, and what the witness heard was actually the sound of construction on the nearby road—the witness passed by again later, and Koda, who was anxiously tracked down, passed by. Masao stopped for questioning... You can also see Masao Koda's state, the witness was probably misled by him."

  Sato Miwako recalled the series of investigations she had done at that time and sighed:

"After investigating this way, we increasingly feel that Mianguan Yoshiichi is more like a victim. But Masao Koda doesn't seem to be lying. In fact, we want to suggest that he see a psychiatrist, but he probably won't listen. …”

   "So that's the case." Jiang Xia nodded. After punching his card at the police station, he got up and prepared to leave, "Then I'll..."

   Before he finished speaking, Mikazu Sato got up in sync with him, grabbed him, and said concisely:

   "transcript."

   Jiang Xia: "..."

  …

the other side.

  Okiya Subaru made an excuse to separate from Jiang Xia and the others, and walked quickly towards the direction where Koda Masao left.

   chase out about a street.

  In an old phone booth on the street. Okiya Subaru saw what he was looking for.

   Through the dusty glass, in the phone booth, Masao Koda was holding the microphone, and he didn't know what to say in a low voice.

  Okiya Subaru just saw him not long ago, and Koda Masao just raised his head and saw this graduate student who had a relationship on the street outside.

  …

   Soon, Koda Masao hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth.

  Okiya Subaru approached, adjusted his smile, and let his whole body exude a friendly aura—he is actually very good at this, and even if he doesn’t do it deliberately, he is the type that people often come to ask for directions when he walks outside.

   Koda Masao looked at Okiya Subaru, he did not turn his head and left. But subconsciously glanced at the phone booth where he was just now, the corners of his mouth tightened.
