Conan's Corpse Picker

"Don't worry." Granny Mi nodded.

……

ten minutes later.

Suzuki Sonoko and Conan were following Mao Lilan, concentrating on the search.

At this time, the overhead light suddenly went out, and the room was plunged into darkness.

——The villa has a power outage.

Suzuki Sonoko was startled, and hugged Mao Lilan beside him: "What's going on? What's going on?!"

Conan reached out and flicked the desk lamp, the switch was turned on, but the desk lamp did not respond.

"It should be that the villa has tripped." Conan turned on the old flashlight, "I remember that the switch is next to the stairs, not far from here, let's go and have a look."

……

Following the faint light, the three of them ran quickly towards the direction of the switch.

When he was about to arrive, he suddenly heard a "creak"—the window next to the switch was pushed open by someone from the inside, as if someone had pushed the window out and ran into the woods from the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Tian turned Si Kada on the switch, the villa was powered on instantly, and the corridor became bright again.

Mao Lilan squinted her eyes, adapting to the light.

Looking up, I saw four other people gathered beside the electric switch—the others ran to the electric switch as soon as they noticed the power outage.

A group of people looked at each other in a daze, and suddenly found that a nearby window was wide open.

Almost at the same time, Takashi Yizhi suddenly saw something, and said in surprise: "There are people in the woods!"

"It must be the murderer!" The irritable Mifune Takuya snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves, stepped on the window sill and rushed into the forest, "Bastard, don't try to run!"

Mao Lilan was stunned, and when she saw that she was about to arrest someone, she immediately followed instinctively.

Others also rushed out - as long as the guy hiding in the dark is caught, this terrifying night will be over!

……

The group of people all got into the woods in an instant.

The surrounding trees were dense and the sky was dark. A group of people quickly separated into several small groups.

Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Conan ran for a while, and there was no one around.

The three stopped aimlessly, and suddenly realized something.

Suzuki Sonoko slowly turned his head and looked at Mao Lilan: "Xiaolan, do you still remember the way back?"

Mao Lilan: "..."

...No, I don't remember.

"Really, you dare to run around without remembering the way... the forest at night is very dangerous."

Suddenly an old voice came from behind, slightly condemning.

The three high school students were startled, then turned their heads quickly, and saw Granny Mi who was running out of breath.

The old woman straightened her back and looked at them with a deep sense of merit and fame, with a kind look of "you don't need to thank me": "I found out that the power was cut off, so I went to check next to the switch. When I was about to walk, I saw all of you. I rushed out... I knew you would get lost as soon as I guessed—those reckless children can't remember to take care of you."

"thanks……"

The three high school students expressed their thanks hesitantly, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

——Grandma Mi is gone, and they are all in the woods.That……

... What about Jiang Xia, who is on the order? !

Chapter 164 The Busy Murderer

When a group of enthusiastic people braved the icy light rain and struggled to find someone in the woods.

In the warm living room of the villa.

Jiang Xia lay on the sofa without conscience, hanging up the phone comfortably.

The sleeping pill had already been crushed by him and thrown into the sewer, destroying the corpse.

But the high school student detective "Jiang Xia" doesn't seem to know so much, let alone possess the "puppet clay" that can wrap drugs.So he took it as a sleeping pill into his stomach.

The villa was powered off and everyone was led away.

A few minutes later, Jiang Xia's ears moved, and she heard a sound of approaching footsteps.

……

The group of people who were chasing after each separated in the woods.

Ichiji Takashi turned his head and ran back to the villa with a clear goal.

Takashi Ichiji is very busy tonight.

First, when Lihua Sijing went to change clothes, he stunned Lihua Sijing, fixed her firmly in the bathtub, and slowly released water from the nozzle, making a cruel timing killing device—in the bathtub, The water level rose slowly, and once it reached its mouth and nose, Lihua Sijing, who was unable to move, would be drowned by the water.

Afterwards, a group of people discovered that Rika Yotsui was missing. When they went to the woods to look for it, Takashi followed Nikaido who was alone, tricked him into going back to the courtyard, and then pushed his head into the fountain pool, drowning him.

Of course, this is not only to vent anger, but also to leave a key message, so that others will firmly remember: Nikaido was "depressed by someone's head, pressed into the water and drowned".

In this way, when Reika Mitsui drowns at a specific time, Takashi Ichie can remove the ropes and tapes from her body, pretending that Reika Mitsui was also "pressed into the water and drowned".

And at the time of Yoshii Reika's death, Ichie Takashi will be with other people.He is not the one who "floods water according to the four wells and beautiful flowers", and he can logically have an "alibi".

……

However, there is another important step in the middle.

The thoughtful Takashi Ichie thinks to himself: If there is only one example of Nikaido "being crushed by someone's head and drowned in the water", then the real cause of death of Lihua Yotsui may be suspected.

Therefore, he needs an additional victim to strengthen this important clue.

……

Because of this, Takashi Ichiji drugged the coffee, intending to pour the medicine on someone at random, and then press that unlucky guy into the water and drown it once.

But now, Takashi Ichiji was pleasantly surprised to find that the "unlucky guy" who got caught was actually Jiang Xia.

Yizhilong: "..." Originally, he was worried that with the presence of a detective like Jiang Xia, his criminal methods might be seen through.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia was forced to go offline.

Yizhi Takashi pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a cold light flashed through the lenses—just enough to drown him for a while, so that Jiang Xia could only weakly provide a testimony of "being drowned by someone holding his head into the water" afterwards, and had no energy left to go. solve the case.

.........

Yizhilong walked to the side of the sofa, and with some strength, lifted the "sleeping" Jiang Xia from the sofa and brought him into the kitchen.

He turned the faucet all the way and filled the sink with water.He casually put Jiang Xia on the desk next to him for later use.

After filling a tank full of water, Yizhilong reached out and grabbed Jiang Xia's collar, planning to start his "head flooding" plan.

He stretched out his hand and felt empty.

Yizhi Takashi was taken aback, and turned his head quickly.

Seeing Jiang Xia, who was lying on the table just now, looking like he was waiting to be drowned, sat up at some point, rubbing his eyes and looking at him.At the same time, Jiang Xia stretched out his other hand to the side of the chopping board, holding a rolling pin.

Chapter 165 The Victim

Ichitaka: "...?"

This too sudden "accident" made him tremble and blurted out: "Why are you awake?!"

Jiang Xia: "..." Sleeping pills are not anesthetics.He was a little more resistant, realized that something was wrong, and struggled to wake up to defend himself. What's the problem?

Next to it, the water in the pool is rushing.

Yi Zhilong looked at Jiang Xia silently, and the murderous aura on his body seemed to open the gate for a moment, rushing and flowing.

Jiang Xia: "...!"

He scooped up a handful of pool water, threw himself on himself, wet his collar and hair, and made a look of "already submerged for a round".

Then propped up the platform and jumped off the ground.He stepped on Takashi Ichie who was pounced on the kitchen knife, and skillfully swung the stick in his hand.

……

Although Ichitaka is strong and strong, he is from a good family after all, he is a well-known and wealthy family, and he has never suffered too much since he was a child.in short……

Not very durable.

And this time, Jiang Xia's stick was left in his coat, which was still on the sofa.As a passive victim, he couldn't go over there to get a stick, so he could only use local materials and used a rolling pin in the kitchen.

And this wooden stick seems to be more lethal than Dr. A Li's special throwing stick.

2 minute later.

Jiang Xia stopped silently, looked down at Zhilong who was paralyzed on the ground, and fainted from the pain after a few strokes, and sighed.

... The murderous aura hasn't been knocked out yet.

However, according to Wu Tiangou, who was watching the wind outside... Heck, Wu Tiangou who was walking outside said that someone is coming back soon.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment, looked left and right, walked to the cabinet, sat down on the ground against the door, and skillfully re-entered the "sleep" state.

"..." Theoretically speaking, it's not normal for him to be awake all the time after taking a sleeping pill.

……

Next to it, the kitchen floor.

Yizhi Longyan stared at the corpse, lying on the corpse for more than ten seconds, before gradually waking up.

Dazed, he sat up from the ground, clutching his throbbing forehead, opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xia next to him, he was startled at first, and instinctively wanted to turn his head and run away.

But soon, he found that Jiang Xia didn't rush to beat him.The murderous young detective leaned against the cabinet door, motionless, and seemed to have finally fallen asleep.

Ichitaka: "..." From this point of view, the powerful sleeping pills I bought on purpose seem to have some effect, although the effect is a bit slower...

He rationally stopped, thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth suddenly, turned and walked towards Jiang Xia, intending to drown him in the sink.

"..." No way, he didn't want to do this either.
