Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 888 Lao Fu, ask for a monthly pass ()

"I wanted to call the police immediately, but I remembered this investigation report." Juro Yoshioka smiled bitterly, "If you find it after searching the scene, I will definitely become a suspect and be forced to be investigated. So I thought... Take it away first."

Miwako Sato looked at him speechlessly: "You are worried that after the police discover the information, they will be held accountable for embezzlement of public funds - you are right to worry. In short, after this case is over, no matter who the murderer is, please follow up with you. Let's go."

   "...Oh." Yoshioka Juro responded sullenly, turned around, and muttered.

   leaned closer and listened carefully, and what he was talking about was something like "Bastard cops, I'll kill you when I go back!" . .

  The mermaid happened to pass by him. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stop and waited for a while with bright eyes.

   But after a long time, the aura around Juro Yoshioka did not change.

   Mermaid: "..." Liar!

   She snorted, twitched her tail and flicked Juro Yoshioka a few times.

   Then he put aside the untrustworthy guy, turned his head and swam back to Jiang Xia.

   Jiang Xia heard her muttering complaints, and turned to look at Juro Yoshioka, who was "unbelieving", with a rather peaceful attitude.

  —Just now, he followed the police to the hall, and as soon as he got to the door, he happily stepped on a whole mass of murderous aura that fell to the ground. So Jiang Xia ordered the ghosts to pick it up.

   And according to what Juro Yoshioka just described, this should be exactly what he dropped.

  —Juro Yoshioka went into the room with a rage that said, "The president of the **** dared to threaten me, I'll shark you!" However, it was discovered that the person was already dead... The corpse could not be killed again, and the murderous aura on his body would naturally be wiped out on the spot.

   As for now, why hasn’t a new one popped up…

There are many people who dare to scold the police, but not many who dare to do it.

   This is probably like vodka in the face of a powerful enemy: I can't stop scolding "sooner or later I'll shark you!", but because of lack of self-confidence, I feel that I can't do it, and I don't plan to take action at all. So no murderous...

   Jiang Xia: "..." Huh? Speaking of this, I don't know what's going on with the vodka.

   However, judging from the situation that the ghosts who stayed in the murderous spirit came back. After he left, the murderous aura of vodka has been steadily overflowing, which was even more gratifying than when Jiang Xia was working hard at the scene just now.

   Thinking about it, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at the freezer full of delicious desserts in the Erdao's living room.

  “…” I feel like vodka.

   But at the same time, Jiang Xia was a little worried that the existence of "Uzo" was a factor that hindered the production of vodka's murderous aura - when he hadn't left just now, vodka didn't have so much murderous aura. I only occasionally fluctuate when I mention "engagement". Most of the time, I'm more like a Buddhist monk with a calm mind... I don't know what vodka was thinking about during the time I left. I have to ask the ghost carefully later, so that it can be reused next time.

  …

   In addition, there is one more thing worth paying attention to.

  Jiang Xia thought of this, and the cat's hand paused slightly, and looked at the three classmates at the scene, especially Conan.

  —According to the speed at which the police cleaned the scene on weekdays, the enthusiasm and gossip of the students, and the easy-going attitude of Mao Lilan who asked for the transcript to be recorded on the spot...

   If there is another case "by chance" nearby, the three of them are likely to rush to the scene in time.

   Then they might come across vodka…

   After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xia glanced out the window and decided to find a suitable time to send a message to Vodka later.

  …

   When Jiang Xia was concerned about his colleagues.

Beside   , Juro Yoshioka was "invited" to wait on the sofa by several policemen.

  Juro Yoshioka took two steps, suddenly came back to his senses, and realized one thing - just now, although he took out the detective's investigation report, he explained the reason why he entered the house. But the police only admitted that he had committed economic crimes, but never said that they thought he would not kill.

  Juro Yoshioka: "..." We must provide more clues to find out the murderer, so as not to become a scapegoat.

  Thinking like this, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "I understand, you are the murderer!"

   Several people were startled, and followed his gaze.

   saw Jiang Xia.

   After a second, a group of people silently turned around, showing a complex expression of "Are you still awake?"

   "...It's not him, it's the one behind him!" Juro Yoshioka pointed at Chihiro Oshima, who was hiding most of his body behind Jiang Xia, and snorted coldly from his nose:

   "She's the same as her mother! She pretends to be weak and humanlike in front of others, and each one is fiercer than the other behind her back... In short, Oshima Chihiro is the murderer!

"Just think about it with your brain! - In the surveillance just now, when the security came, President Kojima was still alive. When I came, President Kojima was already dead. During this time, only Kojima Chihiro entered. In her house, who else could the murderer be besides her?

"—Don't look at the fact that she and the deceased were mother and daughter, Chihiro Kojima actually had a falling out with President Kojima because she was arguing to run away with a wild man. Two years ago, her husband embezzled a large amount of public funds to come I asked the president of Erdao to borrow money to fill the hole. The president didn't borrow it, so the man went in and is still squatting in prison!

"After that, every time Chihiro Kojima saw the president, she would have a fierce fight—don't talk about me, anyone who knows them a little knows it. It must have been a fight tonight, and she was furious. Kill the boss!"

  Ojima Chihiro's face became ugly a little bit.

   was suddenly exposed in front of others. She was so angry at this time that she slapped the table next to her. The excellent quality mahogany table had a small crack.

Under the shocked and vigilant gazes of several police officers, Kojima Chihiro said angrily, "I said it wasn't me who killed it!" At the same time, she couldn't help rolling up her sleeves, and she rushed over if Juro Yoshioka dared to talk too much. Beat him up.

   The police officers on both sides came to their senses and tried to persuade people to fight.

  …

Next to   , Jiang Xia, who was inventorying the stock of vanilla ice cream, was also alarmed by their movement and turned to look over.

   At this moment, Oshima Chihiro, who was about to beat someone, was pulled by several strong men. He couldn't rush to Juro Yoshioka for a while.

   Her brain, which was confused by anger, gradually woke up a little.

   Realize that right now, violence will not solve the problem. Ojima Qianxun looked at Jiang Xia, a little helpless tears appeared in the corners of her eyes: "It's really not me!"

"...I trust you." Jiang Xia tried his best to ignore the strong police officers who were so tired that their veins burst out in order to hold Erdao Chihiro, he said gently, "However, there is one thing you must clarify first—security guards. When you came, the 'President Kojima' who opened the door for them wearing a bath towel, bathrobe, and mask was actually you."

  ——

  Thank you for your [monthly pass](づど)
