Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 831 Can't take the initiative to jump into the script to ask for a monthly pass (づど)

  Conan didn't think too much and nodded. Xiaolan's words do have such a habit...

   He watched the new performance and continued to chew in ignorance.

  …

the other side.

   Nakamura Yusuke held the guitar and walked into the building with Maurilan to the elevator.

   looked back and saw that no one was following him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that things went well - he mustered up the courage to talk to someone just now, and it was indeed correct.

   Nakamura Yusuke pressed the button, and the elevator went up quickly.

  The two entered the elevator one after another and pressed the button on the first basement floor.

   After the elevator doors are closed.

  Belmode turned silently out of the corner, and she raised her head, staring at the dancing figures at the top of the elevator. Finally watched it stop at the position of B1.

  …

   Nakamura Yusuke and Maurilan quickly went down from the top of the building to the first basement floor where the lounge is located.

There is a rudimentary security post on the first floor of   , which usually performs the duties of security guards and keeps the keys by the way.

   Nakamura Yusuke lent the key to the lounge from the guard.

  The two came to the door of the lounge.

  On both sides of the door, there are some large musical instruments stacked. The lounge door was locked and the lights were off. Before they came, there seemed to be no one inside.

   Nakamura Yusuke opened the door with the key, but did not invite Maurilan in. He turned his head and said apologetically, "please wait here for a while."

  Maolilan replied obediently.

   It's normal not to let her in in the artist's rest room. After all, not only Nakamura Yusuke is used here, but also other band members—the rooftop restaurant knows the importance of publicity when it first opened, and has invited the band for several days. So today and in the next few days, Nakamura Yusuke's band will come here to sing every night and will use this rest room. There may still be some personal belongings of the band members.

  Do not allow outsiders to enter, in order to protect the privacy of artists...

  Maurilan thought, and nodded secretly knowingly.

   After watching Yusuke Nakamura enter, she paced back and forth at the door of the lounge, curiously admiring the various musical instruments in the corridor and the paintings on the walls.

   Corner, Belmod watched this scene secretly.

   Seeing that the situation seemed to be safe, she followed the "no interference" agreement with Uzo just now, peeping from a distance and didn't move.

  …

   After a few seconds, there was a series of noises in the rest room.

  Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, and listened carefully, when he heard someone tripped and staggered in the rest room.

   Followed by Nakamura Yusuke wondering to himself: "What?"

   rustling sound.

   "Ah—!!" A scream resounded in the room.

   "..." Belmod, who was eavesdropping at the corner, twitched his eyes and frowned slightly.

   But on second thought, it was the man who screamed...

   She finally refrained from moving.

  Before there was something that could threaten Angel's life, she was just a viewer who was curious about Uzo's drama, so she came to watch it up close - this behavior is still within the limits of explanation. But if it is too startling, it will lead to a deeper threat.

  ...In front of that child, you must keep your composure.

  Bermode took a few deep breaths, pressed his temper, and watched silently.

  …

   On the other side, the door of the lounge.

  Maolilan certainly doesn't have so many scruples.

   When she heard the screams, she was startled instinctively. She always felt that there would be Jiang Xia or Conan or someone else rushing over next to her.

  ...Reacted for 0.1 seconds, remembering that there was no one around.

  Maolilan had to summon up the courage to step forward, pushed open the door of the lounge, and soon saw Yusuke Nakamura making a sound, she said with concern: "What's wrong? Are you alright!"

   The light was not turned on in the lounge.

   By the light shining in the corridor, Maurilan saw Yusuke Nakamura sitting on the ground in a corner of the room.

   Nakamura Yusuke raised his hand and pointed tremblingly at the ground in front of him.

  Maolilan followed his direction and saw a blanket that fell to the ground.

   There seems to be a person under it, and a piece protrudes. Half a hand was faintly exposed on the edge of the blanket, pale and slender, wearing purple starlight gloves, slightly stiff... Mo Lilan quickly recognized the glove on the hand - it was the lead singer Yukiko Watanabe sang. have been wearing.

   "I, when I thought who was leaving, I accidentally brought the blanket to the ground. I wanted to pick it up and put it away. Who knows when I opened it and took a look..."

   Nakamura Yusuke's voice was trembling, and when he spoke, he became confused, full of panic:

   "Yukiko, she, she seems to be dead! Go and call Mr. Jiang Xia down!"

"Okay!" Mao Lilan followed him and became frightened - even if she saw more corpses, it did not mean that she would be completely immune to it. At least at the moment when she saw a new corpse, Mao Lilan would still instinctively feel Fear.

  Especially now, the light in the lounge is dark, the corpse is half-covered, and Yusuke Nakamura's strong fear is infected...

  Maolilan followed his instructions, turned his head and ran out, as agile as a frightened rabbit.

   - There are covered corpses, which means that there is a possibility of a murder here. If there is a murder, find a detective to solve it. And Jiang Xia is undoubtedly an excellent detective... Rounding up, Nakamura Yusuke asked her to go directly to Jiang Xia. The logic in this seems to be fine.

  Maolilan didn't think too much, and instinctively followed suit.

   She quickly ran to the elevator, going to the rooftop restaurant on the top floor to find Jiang Xia.

  …

   Not long after the two got down, the elevator was not used by others.

  Maurilan pressed the button and the door opened.

   She ran into the elevator.

  When the metal door slowly closed, Mao Lilan remembered something. She looked at the curtain on the side of the corridor through the crack of the door with a little doubt - when she ran over just now, she always felt that there was a slight movement there, as if someone was hiding inside...

   Thinking about it, Maurilan shuddered, and something terrible like "the ghost of the lead singer of Watanabe" appeared in his mind.

   Fortunately, the elevator door closed quickly and the elevator went up.

  Mao Lilan sighed in relief as he looked at the numbers on the screen that jumped steadily. Turning to think, the curtain swayed just now, maybe it was just because she was running with some wind...

  …

  As the crime scene got farther and farther away, fear and panic gradually faded from Maorilan's heart.

   She looked at her own reflection in the elevator, stunned for a moment, and suddenly patted her forehead regretfully.

  ——What are you doing upstairs? You should call Jiang Xia directly! Otherwise, if the murderer is still nearby, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Mr. Nakamura to stay alone.

   But now...

  Maolilan looked up at the numbers and found that the elevator had already traveled halfway.

   Might as well go down with Jiang Xia... Well, as long as you move fast enough, it's not a big problem.
