Conan's Corpse Picker

Chimura Gongjiang quickly drove the car to the destination.

Chicun's house occupies a large area and is very grand.A group of people entered through the door, and met the housekeeper of Chicun's family, the son and daughter-in-law of Gongjiang Chicun, Gongjiang Chicun's father-in-law... and finally came to the door of the study on the second floor.

Chapter 132 Osaka is a good place, the good thing is that it doesn't have Jiang Xia

The door was locked, and Chimura Gongjiang took out the key to open the door.She hid the poisonous needle in the keychain.

Ikemura often uses the study to receive guests, and the decoration here is also very elegant, with some exquisite ornaments in the bookshelf.

When Chimura Gongjiang was trying to "wake up" her husband, she peeked at the other people out of the corner of her eye, and found that these people were indeed attracted by the bookcase, and Jiang Xia, whom she feared the most, was no exception—and Jiang Xia happened to have her back turned she.

As expected, luck was on her side.

Chimura Gongjiang breathed a sigh of relief, stuck a poisonous needle behind Chimura Xun's ear, and then continued to shake him.

Not long after, Chi Cunxun's body tilted and fell to the ground lifelessly.

Chi Cun Gongjiang rushed over with a set of tricks, crying, "Husband! Husband! What's wrong with you?!"

Then there is the usual screaming, the suspects watching, calling the police...

While waiting for the police to arrive, Jiang Xia walked around the room and finished the process of collecting clues.

Hattori Heiji did not expect to encounter a murder case.He immediately entered the state after being startled.Only this time, he was much busier than usual - not only to collect clues, but also to pay attention to Jiang Xia's movement.

As a result, when he was so distracted, when Hattori Heiji approached a thin needle on the ground, Duang bumped his head with someone.

Holding his forehead in pain, he got up and found that it was Conan who hit him.The child was also looking at the needles on the ground.

Hattori Heiji was taken aback, trying to keep the child away from the corpse.But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly found something covering Conan's ears.

Hattori Heiji asked puzzledly, "Why are you wearing earmuffs?" After finishing speaking, he remembered that Conan couldn't hear, so he reached out and wanted to take off the earmuffs and ask again.

But Conan saw his movement and ran away with his earmuffs covered.At the end, he threw a complicated look of sympathy at him.

Hattori Heiji was puzzled.

It seems that not only detectives in Tokyo, but even children have strange brain circuits-if you are afraid of corpses, shouldn't you cover your eyes first? What is the operation of covering your ears?

It didn't take long for Hattori Heiji to know the answer.

——After the police questioned the suspect, they briefly inspected the scene.

Hattori Heiji was thinking about the cause of the secret room. At this moment, he saw Jiang Xia walking to the Megure Police Department, and then whispered in an undisguised volume: "The murderer should be Mrs. Ikemura."

The Mumu Police Department and a group of police officers showed shocked expressions.

Hattori Heiji was also surprised, but he found that the reason for his surprise was different from others. What he thought was "how could the murderer be Mrs. Ikemura who had no time to commit the crime".But others were shocked by "Mrs. Chimura actually wanted to kill her husband".

Chimura Gongjiang's expression changed.While panicking, she felt that it was not real. When she stabbed Chi Cunxun to death, Jiang Xia clearly turned her back to this side. How could it be possible so quickly...

Jiang Xia glanced at the shikigami on Chimura Gongjiang's leg, and began to fast forward: "Death cases that occur in a secret room are generally considered to be sudden death or suicide. This is one of the reasons why the murderer likes to disguise the scene as a secret room, but today The case is very strange -

"Mr. Chimura was stabbed to death with a poisonous needle in the 'secret room'. At first glance, it looked like suicide, but the place where he was stabbed was behind his right ear. When we came in, he was resting his chin with his right hand. Rather than a faked suicide, it's more like we're deliberately trying to make us think that this suicide was faked, and then start to trace it in other directions, focusing more on the secret room.

"In this way, limited by the time of death, Mrs. Chimura, who was with us before the incident, was first ruled out as a suspect. Combine this with some other abnormalities in the room—for example, the stack on the table is a bit abrupt. books, and the music at a high volume in the room, and Mrs. Ikemura's sliding keychain that was a little bit staggered when she opened the door...

"She could have taken out the poisonous needle hidden in the keychain when she entered the door, and then secretly killed the sleeping Mr. Chimura with the poisonous needle while we were attracted by other scenes in the study."

The Mumu Police Department came back to its senses, looked at Mrs. Chimura's veined hand, and called out to his subordinates: "Go and check that keychain."

Hattori Heiji leaned closer to the police officer in disbelief, and saw that after the keychain slid open, a groove was exposed inside, the shape and size of which was just enough to fit a needle.

Although it has not been tested whether it is poisonous, but judging from the change in Mrs. Chimura's expression, Jiang Xia is right.

Next to him, Conan sighed faintly and took off his earmuffs.

Although he successfully blocked Jiang Xia's voice, his observation skills hurt him—as soon as Jiang Xia told the real murderer, everyone in the room looked at Chimura Gongjiang in unison, and Conan subconsciously took this change into consideration. Income fundus, and then...

Then there is no more.

After seeing the answer to the mystery, combined with the time of Ikemura's death, Conan instantly understood what was going on with this murder.

... It's the same as if I didn't buy these earmuffs.But in the future, you can't cover your eyes too.Thinking of this, Conan was haggard.

However, he glanced at Hattori Heiji, who was still in a state of shock, and his mood subtly improved—look, not only him, but other detectives also reacted in the same way when facing Jiang Xia.It can be seen from this that it's not that he is weak, it's just that Jiang Xia is so strong that he seems to be cheating.

……

In today's case, Hattori Heiji devoted some energy to observing Jiang Xia throughout the whole process.

Therefore, he can be sure that Jiang Xia has not contacted anyone, but just looked around the scene.

Even, if you think about it carefully, long before the police arrived, when Jiang Xia saw the pinhole on the neck of the deceased, she had already looked at Mrs. Chimura from time to time...

Hattori Heiji was lost in thought.

Now it seems that the reports about Jiang Xia in the newspapers not only did not exaggerate the facts, but weakened Jiang Xia's ability. What "Jiang Xia named the murderer just after reading the evidence compiled by the police" is not appropriate at all. The case was solved before the police arrived, and he probably only looked at the evidence for confirmation.

Hattori Heiji completely dispelled his doubts after observing Jiang Xia's case-solving process on the spot.

This kind of genius who read the truth immediately after taking a look at the scene actually exists...

Wait, thinking about it this way, Kudo's sudden disappearance, could it be related to this?

...Indeed, if you put yourself in the situation and think about it, if every time you arrive at the scene of a crime and are trying to collect evidence, someone next to you suddenly shakes out the murderer + the process of committing the crime + all the evidence in a basket. this time...

Although he didn't want to admit it, but to be honest, he would run away if it were him.

This is no longer the level of deciding the outcome. This kind of one-sided situation not only does not experience the fun of competition at all, but also cannot solve the puzzle at all. It is a blow and interference to self-cognition.

Hattori Heiji suddenly rejoiced that he was from Osaka, and he was usually hundreds of kilometers away from Jiangxia, so he couldn't touch him at all.

Chapter 133 Vodka Talks Too Much

Hattori Heiji was feeling emotional when he suddenly felt a chill behind his back.He turned his head vigilantly, and saw Jiang Xia was sizing him up.

After a while, Jiang Xia approached and whispered thoughtfully, "You must be afraid."

"?!!" Hattori Heiji suddenly felt guilty, but his mouth was still stubborn, and he retorted subconsciously, "How is that possible!"

"That's good." Jiang Xia regained his friendly look and smiled at him, "I was worried that you would avoid me because of this kind of thing... Then when you come to Tokyo, remember to look for me more, I feel that we It will be a good match." I always feel that this new case collector is not very honest, and needs to be adjusted with a little aggressive method...

Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's deja vu expression, and suddenly remembered what Jiang Xia said to him on the way here, "Have you considered transferring to Tokyo?"

... At that time, he didn't understand what Jiang Xia meant, but now he suddenly understood.

It must be that after Jiang Xia started working as a part-time detective, she felt that it was too boring to solve the case alone, so she wanted to find another person to compete with.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji's temples were dripping with sweat—he was far away in Osaka, and Jiang Xia dared to ask him sincerely if he wanted to move, and Kudo Shinichi was Jiang Xia's classmate, and he must have been dragged to the competition to solve the case... It was terrible Oh, Kudo, what has he been through.

However, now does not seem to be the time to sympathize with Shinichi Kudo.Jiang Xia is obviously not enough to harm the famous detective in the East, and now he is eyeing him, the famous detective in the West...

Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia's back as he left with satisfaction, feeling deeply that he lacked insight into people.

On the way here, he still thought that Jiang Xia was a harmonious, friendly, good-natured person, but now... this bastard is simply a devil who takes pleasure in undermining the confidence of other detectives!

But after letting go of all the words just now, and hiding from Jiang Xia, it would be very imposing.

Hattori Heiji leaned against the wall exhaustedly, silently cheering himself up—one win or loss doesn't mean anything, as long as he works harder, one day, he will reach a level similar to Jiang Xia's... right?

In short, he will not run away like Kudo.In this way, at least in terms of momentum, he won against Kudo and did not fall to the bottom of the food chain.

But, speaking of Kudo Shinichi...

Hattori Heiji suddenly realized something.

He turned to look at Conan, focusing on the earmuffs on Conan's neck.At the same time, he remembered Conan's sympathetic look at him.

Hattori Heiji finally understood why Conan had to wear earmuffs with him.

But at the same time he was a little puzzled.If it were Kudo Shinichi, this kind of behavior would be reasonable, but Conan is only a first-grade kid, why would he... Wait.

...If it is replaced by Kudo Shinichi?

Thinking about it, Hattori Heiji suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

But soon, he vetoed himself again.

What a joke, how can adults become smaller out of thin air... It must be stimulated by Jiang Xia today, so the thinking is overactive...

……

Qin Jiu is still waiting for Jiang Xia's mission plan.At the same time, he himself formulated several assassination plans.

However, when two snipers were sent to familiarize themselves with the venue, Gin suddenly received news from Chianti that Chimura Xun had died.

Died in a murder.

Jiang Xia solved the case.

These two, if taken separately, there is no problem with either one.

But they merged together, and it happened to be at the time when he had just sent Jiang Xia a mission...

……

Gin called people out again, this time choosing a sushi restaurant.

Sitting in the box, he asked bluntly, "Did you kill the man?"

Jiang Xia looked back at Sushi: "Strictly speaking, no." Not strictly speaking, no.

Gin and vodka failed to understand the second half of Jiang Xia's unspoken sentence, and they directly translated Jiang Xia's answer as "I didn't do it myself, but the murderer is under my control."

Gin was satisfied with the result of the assassination, but felt that the process was flawed.

He tapped his knuckles on the table twice: "You didn't report it."

Jiang Xia held the teacup: "I left a little hint to Chimura Gongjiang before. I wanted to observe her actions first, and then make a detailed plan based on these, but I didn't expect her to do it so soon." He sighed softly. He took a deep breath, "It seems that I underestimated her feelings for her ex-husband."

Vodka was a little confused: "Feelings for ex-husband?"

In the document they gave Jiang Xia, there was indeed a note about Chicun Gongjiang's "remarriage".But the target of the organization is Chi Cunxun. Among the materials they collected, even the information about Chi Cun Gongjiang was incidental, let alone her marital status...Jiang Xia actually took advantage of this bit of information?

Jiang Xia nodded: "Chicun Gongjiang's friends often entrust me to help them find cats, and some of the wealthy wives among them are very talkative—although they keep their own secrets very strictly, they don't care so much about other people's. Pay attention to the information revealed, they don't take it seriously, but it is very valuable to me.

"Following the reminders they inadvertently gave, it is not difficult to find that Ikemura Koe's ex-husband is Yamashiro Kenji. He was imprisoned for a crime 20 years ago and died in prison 15 years ago.

"Although there is no clear evidence, after Yamashiro Kenji fell, Ikemura Hoon reaped the most benefits. Moreover, Chimura Hoon's reputation is very average, and there are usually some rumors that his methods are not glorious. The matter of Yamashiro Kenji's imprisonment, Ikemura Hoon may be also participate in it.

"At that time, Ikemura Gongjiang remarried Chimura Xun after going through a period of low life alone. I think she might be deceived by Ikemura Xun, so I tried to send this news to her. In the incident, Chimura Gongjiang was not Chimura Hoon's accomplice, so for her, Chimura Hoon was the enemy who tore her family apart. After hearing these things, she would definitely have disputes with Chimura Hoon. If she is dead, she can naturally become a suspect.

"In addition, although there is little hope, she may kill herself. So when her friends came to my office, I adjusted the order of the case clippings in the office. There are some suitable killing methods hidden in the clippings. , Those wives feel bored while waiting, they will take over the newspaper clippings and look through them, and then those cases will become the topics of their chats... Now it seems that Ikemura Gongjiang has indeed been inspired by it."
