Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 846 This must be Uzo's trap asking for a monthly pass (づど)

   Kogoro Mori used to be a policeman, but now he is a detective. No matter what identity he is, he is still an expert in murder cases.

   As soon as he heard it, he knew that the police were suspecting Sayuri Shimamura—in case of a murder case, it is indeed a more effective basic process to first check the acquaintances around the deceased.

   "Don't worry! Miss Shimamura is innocent." Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri patted his chest twice.

He glanced at Sato Mikazu, and then at Jiang Xia, who was listening in a low-key manner: "After I separated from Xiaolan and Jiang Xia, I had a drink with my friends for a while, and then took the tram back. 7:30 in the evening. The two stations are not far apart, and I arrived at Mihua Station before 8:00.

"Then on my way home, I was at the back door of Mihua Middle School—that's it." Kogoro Mori walked to the balcony and pointed out, "I met Miss Shimamura, and she said she knew a good person who could see the Dongdu Beach Bridge. Let's go there for a ride together."

   "When we got there, it was about half past eight in the evening. We had some drinks and chatted for an hour and a half.

   "After that, I set off home at ten o'clock, and stopped by Miss Shimamura's company. By this time, it was already ten fifty-fifty-that's when we called the police."

   Shimamura Sayuri also listened silently.

   Hearing the last sentence, she carefully added: "I opened an import company in Chaoyang Town, and I just stopped by to get some information."

   While she was talking, although she was watching Sato Miwako, she couldn't help but swipe at Jiang Xia from the corner of her eye.

   - Shimamura Sayuri did not expect that a drunk Kogoro Maori would be recruited as an alibi tool, and Jiang Xia would be recruited together. If it was normal, she would be quite happy to see Jiang Xia, and she might even go to a celebrity to ask for an autograph, but now...

   Shimamura Sayuri bit her nails nervously.

   Although she felt that her plan was very thorough, she also had the assistance of the **** Mouri Kogoro.

But at this time, a famous detective was standing beside her... She always worried that if something went wrong, Jiang Xia would suddenly show an expression of "I understand" in the next second, then looked at her, and said sympathetically. : Miss Shimamura, turn yourself in...

   In that case, her painstaking planning would be over.

  …

  I was thinking about what I was afraid of.

   After listening to the testimony of the two key witnesses, Jiang Xia seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Sayuri Shimamura and Kogoro Mouri, his eyes turned back and forth between the two, and he hesitated.

   Shimamura Sayuri's heart suddenly lifted, and her heart rate soared in an instant.

   The next second, the high school student really opened his mouth.

   But it was not Jiang Xia who spoke.

  —Mao Lilan just discovered a little bit of the fun of being a detective recently, so when a few people were chatting about the case just now, she also stood beside Jiang Xia and eavesdropped.

   At this time, when she heard something that made her extremely concerned, Mao Lilan couldn't help but look at Maori Kogoro, her eyes full of suspicion:

   "An hour and a half? What did you guys talk about?"

  —Although Mori Kogoro and Concubine Eri are currently living apart. But in Maorilan's heart, they are still husband and wife.

   In this case, Kogoro Mori went out to see the scenery and chat with other women, and they chatted for so long...

   Mouri Kogoro was stared at by her, his face slightly stiff.

   After a while, he snorted: "As an adult, let the child take care of it!"

  ...Actually, he and Shimamura Sayuri didn't chat for that long.

  Because Mouri Kogoro remembered that he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the way.

   During this time, he could not prove that Sayuri Shimamura was always by his side. However, think about the distance between the bridge and here, plus the time he slept... Even if Sayuri Shimamura sprinted between the two places while he was asleep, he wouldn't be able to come back in time to kill his roommate.

  Mori Kogoro felt that the problem was not a big deal.

And this kind of "falling asleep on the way" thing is really bad to say - it seems that he seems to be getting old and lacks energy, and Shimamura Sayuri is not attractive... Both of which are obviously not true, so in the end, He decided to keep his mouth shut.

   However, thinking of this shameful incident, Mouri Kogoro sighed, but also had a slight doubt.

  —I don't know why, he was not sleepy at all when he started to go for a ride, but then he suddenly fell asleep. And it seems to be very fast to sober up today...

   Thinking about it, Kogoro Mori raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: Forget it, maybe he had another drink with Miss Shimamura at that time, so he couldn't resist the sleepiness. Anyway, in terms of time, she didn't have time to kill.

  Mori Kogoro quickly put aside these "useless details" and stopped thinking about it.

   He yawned and continued to watch the police collect evidence.

  …

at the same time.

Beside   , Jiang Xia looked at the scene of the crime scene and fell into deep thought.

  The murderous aura on Belmod quickly subsided.

   At present, the only thing that attracts Jiang Xia to stay here is the fresh shikigami that is on Shimamura Sayuri's calf.

  —If it were another case, Jiang Xia might try to poke the murderer a few times to see if he could squeeze out some fresh murderous aura and enjoy the process of growing food rations.

   But Shimamura Sayuri is not bold enough-before the moon was dark and the wind was high, when she faced Mouri Kogoro who was brought down by sleeping pills, she did take on a lot of murderous aura.

   However, now, surrounded by a group of police, Sayuri Shimamura suddenly became clean, looking even harder to squeeze than vodka.

  …

   Jiang Xia gradually lost interest in the process of solving the case and wanted to end it early.

   However, as an "uninformed bystander", if you want to solve the case in person, you have to run too far from the check-in point, which is very troublesome.

   Better than…

   Jiang Xia looked at Belmode next to him, and then looked at Kogoro Mouri himself, who had experienced everything. When his eyes moved, he suddenly had another idea.

  —Belmode is very lazy when it comes to producing murderous aura. But she possesses a lot of rare skills and connections, and will undoubtedly be an interesting ally.

   And now, it’s rare to go out with Belmod. Since she was there, I just happened to show her something else.

  Yeah, by the way, give her a little more stuff—don’t ask Belmode to be like gin, snarling murderous with a poke, but she should at least get back to her usual level…

   Thinking so, Jiang Xia took out his phone and typed a few words.

   Then he yawned sleepily.

   He rubbed his eyes and shook his head as if trying to force himself to wake up, but in the end he didn't seem to be able to resist the sleepiness and walked towards the sofa in the corner of the living room.

  …

  Bermaud was standing beside him, silently reducing his presence.

   When she suddenly saw this scene, she was slightly startled—as an extrajudicial fanatic who used a lot of small tricks, she immediately noticed that Uzo was in a wrong state.

  I wanted to walk over and ask about the situation, but before I stepped up, I thought about it: That is Uzo...

  Bermode paused suspiciously again.

   The next second, she realized that she had made the right decision.

  —Uzo glanced at her and smiled at her from an angle no one was looking at.

  Almost at the same time, Belmode’s phone vibrated and received an email.
