In Conan, people have a brain option system

Since Akikawa Sosuke is an important "witness" of this poisoning case, he needs to stay in Hakone for another day and wait until he finishes the record at the police station before he can return to Tokyo.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Akikawa Sosuke chose to take a bath in the room to avoid the Death God Elementary School Student.

And today, Akikawa Sosuke deliberately got up before five o'clock and prepared to take a hot spring bath when there were not many people.

Unexpectedly, he met the Death God Elementary School Student again.

Conan was stunned and stared at Akikawa Sosuke for a few seconds.

Although Conan didn't think that Akikawa Sosuke's bad luck had anything to do with him.

But Akikawa Sosuke obviously didn't think so.

Conan also realized from Akikawa Sosuke's speech yesterday that this artist disliked him very much.

In Akikawa Sosuke's eyes, I'm afraid I am the culprit who caused his bad luck.

At this time, the two met again in the empty dressing room, and Conan felt so embarrassed that he couldn't help but want to dig his toes into the ground.

"Good morning... Good morning, Brother Akikawa~"

Conan greeted Akikawa Sosuke in a coquettish voice with his childish voice.

Then he saw Akikawa Sosuke showing an extremely sunny smile and replied to him "Good morning".

Although it was a bit exaggerated.

But Conan always felt that when Akikawa Sosuke greeted him, the other party seemed to be glowing behind his head.

'Why didn't this guy become an idol?'

'Just now, this smile, coupled with his face, I'm afraid it will instantly make many female audiences' hearts beat faster. '

Conan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, at this moment, when he saw Akikawa Sosuke showing him the cheerful smile that seemed to be on the stage when the popular high school student Sae Kotani faced the female classmates in the class, he felt a chill all over his body.

After quickly taking off his clothes, Conan ran to the hot spring area with a towel.

Even if it was a second earlier, Conan just wanted to quickly get out of this embarrassing and suffocating environment.

Akikawa Sosuke smiled and watched Conan leave.

After Conan's figure disappeared, his expression returned to its usual slightly gloomy look.

Meeting the god of death early in the morning, Akikawa Sosuke always felt that today was a bit unlucky.

Just when Akikawa Sosuke gave up taking a bath and was about to return to the room directly,

he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the direction where Conan had just left.

"Akikawa brother!"

The next moment.

With Conan's somewhat panicked shout, Akikawa Sosuke saw Conan, who was stripped naked, running back to the locker room.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Conan's poorly acted panic, Akikawa Sosuke immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Come with me!"

Conan said, and put on his yukata again in a few seconds. After tying the yukata belt around his waist, he pulled Akikawa Sosuke to the hot spring area.

As soon as he entered here, the familiar smell of rotten eggs floated into Akikawa Sosuke's nose.

In the smell of rotten eggs, Akikawa Sosuke also keenly caught an extremely unpleasant and pungent smell.

Akikawa Sosuke was not unfamiliar with this.

This was the smell caused by the internal bacteria that began to decompose the tissue after the body died.

The bad premonition in his heart came true again, and Akikawa Sosuke felt more and more speechless.

His beautiful day ended the moment he saw the death god elementary school student.

Although Akikawa Sosuke had already identified that this was the smell of corpse odor, he still covered his nose and showed an unbearable expression.

"What is this smell, why is it so smelly?"

"Where is the smell coming from!"

Conan stretched out his hand and pointed to a hot spring pool not far away.

He saw a black opaque bag floating on the water surface of the hot spring, which looked suspicious no matter how he looked at it.

'Is this because the handsome detective from before is not around, so you want me to go over and open the bag to check? '

Akikawa Sosuke saw Conan's thoughts at a glance.

He knew that Conan, as a detective with the luck of the protagonist in this world, had an unquestionable ability to solve cases.

But after Conan became a child, he could no longer show his reasoning ability as he wished.

At this time, Dr. Agasa was not here.

The only adult left was himself.

With doubt and suspicion on his face, Akikawa Sosuke walked to the hot spring pool where bubbles were constantly coming up from the bottom of the pool.

Then he reached out and dragged the black bag over and put it on the shore.

Before opening the bag, Akikawa Sosuke had already guessed what was in the bag.

The stench of corpses usually begins to emanate within 12 to 24 hours after the body dies.

And because the temperature in the hot spring area is relatively hot, the speed of corpse transformation will also be accelerated.

In other words, the bag in front of him should contain a corpse that has been dead for at least 8 hours.

But the corpse of an adult cannot be contained in such a bag.

So the bag either contains the corpse of a child,

or, it is the "partial" corpse of an adult.

Akikawa Sosuke reached out and untied the bag, and then Akikawa Sosuke's second guess was fulfilled.

Inside the bag, Akikawa Sosuke saw the separated upper arm and forearm, and the right leg separated into the thigh and calf.

As for why Akikawa Sosuke could tell at a glance that it was a right leg, but couldn't tell whether it was a left or right arm.

That's because the calf in the bag was connected to the right foot, but the forearm was cut off at the wrist.

And Akikawa Sosuke couldn't directly check the radius and ulna of the corpse, so naturally he couldn't tell whether the arm was a left or right arm.

"Ah--!"

Akikawa Sosuke screamed, threw away the bag, and suddenly retreated more than ten meters away.

After observing the inside of the bag, Conan also showed an extremely terrified expression.

He really ran in the direction Akikawa Sosuke left like a frightened child.

'An arm plus a leg accounts for about 21%-24% of the body weight. Roughly speaking, the bag just now should be less than 15 kilograms. ’

‘According to the time of death of the deceased, the methane and hydrogen sulfide gases produced by the decay of the corpse should not be enough to make the bag float. It can only be that the murderer sealed too much air when filling the bag, causing the bag to not sink to the bottom of the pool. ’

‘So, there should be the rest of the body at the bottom of the pool? ’

‘And the murderer must have been in a very urgent state of mind when he threw the body away, just hurriedly sealed the bag and threw it away. ’

‘But if that’s the case, why did the murderer waste time to dismember the body? What is he worried about? ’

Akikawa Sosuke supported the wall with one hand and covered his bulging mouth with the other hand, pretending to vomit.

The appearance of the corpse made Akikawa Sosuke feel a little curious.

But at this moment, he was more concerned about the psychological state of the murderer when he threw the body away.

‘When the bag was thrown away by Akikawa just now, the corpse spots on the body did not move, indicating that the corpse spots were fixed. ’

‘Combined with the stench of the corpse, the deceased has been dead for more than ten hours. ’

‘And the body was dismembered at the ulnar joint, femoral tibia joint and radiocarpal joint, all of which are "movable joints" responsible for flexion and extension. ’

‘What was the murderer's purpose? Excluding the strange fetish, could it be that the murderer was trying to cover up something by dismembering the body? ’

Conan stared at the black bag from a distance behind his round-framed glasses. While thinking in his heart, he did not forget to show a look of horror on his face.
