Conan's Corpse Picker

The four walked along to find nearly [-] meters, shouting Lihua Sijing's name on the way, but no one responded.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the gloomy trees around, frowned, and reasoned: "She should not be in this direction."

——Because if you put yourself in her shoes, if it was her, she would definitely run out when Jiang Xia called her name for the first time... and someone as flamboyant as Lihua Sijing would only be more arrogant than her. She couldn't hold her breath anymore!

The other three, although unable to understand Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning steps, agreed with her conclusion: "Maybe she went elsewhere."

In the ear, the rustling sound of rain hitting the leaves gradually sounded.

It's raining.

Jiang Xia raised her hand to catch the growing raindrops, and said in thought: "Miss Sijing is an adult with a normal mind even though she has a special personality. And if it is a kidnapping, the kidnappers will not drive the car into the woods full of obstacles... Let's go back and have a look, maybe other people have already found her."

……

With a flashlight that was not very bright, the four of them took a little effort to walk through the woods and return to the villa.

Sure enough, everyone else came back.But Reika Yotsui was not among the crowd.

The strange thing is that none of the people who came back entered the house, but gathered around the fountain pool in the courtyard, as if they were frightened by something, and there was no sound.

Jiang Xia approached with a flashlight: "What's wrong?"

The ponytail man turned his head, pointed to the front, and said with difficulty: "...dead."

By the side of the fountain, a drenched man was kneeling and buried face down in the water—it was Nikaido who secretly married Yoshii Reika.

"..." Jiang Xia paused slightly.

A few seconds later, he came back to his senses as if slowly, stepped forward, picked the man out of the water with all his strength, and put him on the ground.

Conan also immediately ran to the side, checked for a while, and shook his head in his heart: he was dead.

"There are pinch marks on the back of the neck." Jiang Xia's voice came from beside him, "This is a murder."

……

Suddenly a dead person appeared in the villa.And before that, another person had disappeared.

Two people in a row had accidents, and the already depressing atmosphere suddenly became heavier.

In order not to damage the scene too much, several people did not move the body away, but found a tarp and politely covered Nikaido's body.

Afterwards they returned to the villa.

……

A common suburban villa, a common isolated situation - no mobile phone signal, all telephone lines are disconnected, and the vehicles are all deflated. We can only wait for Chairman Sijing to send someone over the next morning.

In addition, the whereabouts of Lihua Yotsui is also of concern. Some people wondered, "Could she be the murderer who killed Nikaido?"

The situation is chaotic.

Jiang Xia comforted the others: "It's useless to be anxious now, let's review the situation together first."

Masashi Mutsuta, the oldest, nodded in agreement.

He remembered that it was already very late, so he looked at his helper, Granny Mi:

"Brew us some coffee and refresh ourselves—the person who killed Nikaido is probably hiding among us. This is not a good time to sleep."

Chapter 161 So Love Will Disappear, Right?

"Okay." The aged Granny Mi nodded, and stooped into the kitchen.She is a servant of the Sijing family, serving the family from generation to generation.

Others searched for clothes and towels to wipe off the freezing rain.While wiping her hair, Mao Lilan trotted into the kitchen to help Granny Mi.

……

The coffee is quickly brewed, divided into several cups according to the number of people, and placed on the tray.

"Little girl, bring me a bag of candy." Granny Mi emptied the empty candy box, then turned to look at Mao Lilan.

The old woman, who was nearly one meter tall, bowed her waist, pointed to the top cabinet with great effort, and said hesitantly, "It should be in that cabinet."

"Okay." Mao Lilan moved a stool, stepped on it, climbed to the top of the cabinet, and rummaged through it.

Granny Mi rubbed her chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly she wasn't sure if Tang was there.

She glanced at the cabinets in other places, squatted down and opened the cabinet door, and began to look for candies.

……

When two people concentrate on searching.

A figure silently entered the kitchen, walked to the tray, and threw a sleeping pill into one of the coffee cups.

The figure dropped the medicine, turned around and left, and quickly returned to the corridor.

Therefore, he didn't see that the moment he turned around, a thin white film suddenly appeared out of thin air outside the sleeping pill.That thing was like insoluble clay, tightly enveloping the medicine without letting it melt in the slightest.

……

"Coffee is ready."

Mao Lilan found the sugar and helped Granny Mi bring out the coffee and put it on the table.

Others gathered in the hall to discuss what to do next.

At this time, seeing the hot coffee, they stopped talking and planned to have a cup first.

Jiang Xia's gaze, like everyone else's, fell on the tray.

Seeing Wu Tiangou flapping its wings, hovering beside the tray, seeing Jiang Xia looking over, it immediately stretched out its hand dedicatedly, and pointed to one of the cups for the psychic master.

—This is the one mixed with sleeping pills.

Of course, the sleeping pill that was supposed to dissolve in coffee was still a intact "Puppet Clay Brand Sleeping Pill Capsule".

……

Jiang Xia was originally sitting at the place closest to the dining table.

He stood up, picked up the cup naturally, brought it to his lips and blew.

The others approached one after another without thinking too much, and took a cup each.

On a cold and spooky night, they needed something steaming and refreshing.

While drinking coffee, Jiang Xia seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and looked at the taciturn digital harem beside him: "When you were playing cards just now, you seem to have mentioned that two years ago, a 'tragedy' happened in your yacht club... What exactly is going on?"

"..." Several people looked ugly and didn't want to elaborate.

But now, Nikaido died suddenly, and the method of death was "drowning" in the water... There may be some kind of careful and terrifying connection between these two events.

General Liutian sighed, remembering that Jiang Xia was a detective, he finally spoke up: "Two years ago, we went to a remote island to play, and unfortunately caught up with a storm, and we were separated from Ms. Lihua. At that time, Ms. Nanao went out to find her. Unfortunately, she was drowned in the sea, and her body only surfaced the next day... After that, our yacht club has not organized any more activities."

Ojo Gojo added dissatisfiedly: "When we found Ms. Lihua, she was with Nikaido—that day, Nikaido seemed to be fishing nearby, and was lucky to be that 'hero to save the beauty' guy. Listen Said that they have already made a marriage contract by default. If my dad hadn't asked me to come and try, I really don't want to run with you. "

Chapter 162 Rounding Up

"..."

This topic has hit the sore spots of young talents.

They shook their heads and didn't want to talk about the "marriage contract" and "son-in-law": "In any case, we have cooperated with the Sijing family. Now that Miss Lihua is missing, we must try our best to find it—search again carefully. The villa, maybe we just missed it with her just now, this villa is very big, there are many places where people can hide."

"Okay." The others did not object.

……

It is not easy to find someone who is deliberately hiding in such a big house, and Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko are not idle either.

"Mifune and Gojo, go search the second floor and the attic. There are few things on it, so you can find it faster, and you should be able to search it all." Masashi Liutian thought about the layout of the villa, "Ichiji Takashi and I use the stairs in the middle as the boundary, Responsible for the west side of the first floor."

Then he looked at the remaining three high school students, especially the two weak-looking girls: "Just search on the east side of the first floor, it's the brightest and safest."

There was a sentence that everyone didn't say, but they had a vague premonition in their hearts:

The murderer was probably among them.

In addition, I didn't know who it was just now, but I yelled creatively, "Why can't the murderer be Miss Lihua?".This statement sounds unbelievable at first, but when you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense—Sijing Lihua, a high-ranking young lady, is forced to be bound to Nikaido because of her life-saving grace. Maybe she will one day Suddenly bored, it will go to extremes.

Therefore, when searching, a group of people is divided into two groups, which is the safest.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked too weak, together they counted as one person, and searched together with Jiang Xia.Conan is a primary school student, so it can be ignored... In short, the number of people is just right.

A group of people dispersed one after another, preparing to search everywhere.

Jiang Xia walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, and supported the back of the sofa.

Mao Lilan saw it sharply, and came to help him: "What's wrong?"

"Suddenly uncomfortable..." Jiang Xia muttered in a low voice.He leaned on the sofa, sat down slowly, and skillfully asked for sick leave.

"It's because it was raining just now." Granny Mi found a small blanket from somewhere, walked over with it in her arms, and covered Jiang Xia with a vicissitudes of voice, "Young man, don't underestimate the power of nature. "

"..." Jiang Xia didn't comment on the old man's experience.He closed his eyes, as if falling asleep soon.

Suzuki Sonoko touched Jiang Xia's forehead.

Then he carefully reached down to touch his face and neck. After touching it for a while, he felt that the temperature was normal everywhere.She wondered, "But he doesn't have a fever."

Conan looked at Jiang Xia thoughtfully: He remembered the tragic death of Nikaido Yuji lying on the side of the fountain just now—speaking of which, the posture of kneeling by the pool and leaning forward with the upper body is really true. Somewhat like the scene of cutting wrists in the bathroom... Is it the same as the last "Journey to Sherlock Holmes", Jiang Xia has touched some memories because of this, and entered the hang-up mode without authorization?

"Let's search the east side of the first floor and let Brother Jiang Xia rest here." Conan felt that the problem was not serious.

He touched the anesthesia watch on his wrist.Although I feel that this is not good, I still can't help but get excited secretly - the reliable teammate suddenly goes offline, so let him handle this case by Kudo Shinichi!

Chapter 163 Who Should I Give The Coffee To?

Finally waiting for a case to be solved without any spoilers... Conan took the flashlight from Jiang Xia's hand, feeling a little complicated for a while.

The other two failed to detect the excitement hidden under the calm appearance of the fake child.

They nodded and headed to the east according to General Liu Tian's assignment just now.Prepare to search the rooms one by one, looking for the missing Yooi Reika.

Although Jiang Xia couldn't come, but with Xiao Lan here, there was no need to worry about gangsters.

On the contrary, Jiang Xia's side...

"Grandma Mi, if you meet someone suspicious, you must yell immediately." Mao Lilan bent down and discussed with the little old woman, "We will come back immediately!"
