Conan's Corpse Picker

Chapter 191 Didn't You Really Steal a Gun?

Then Nakamichi and Kazushi only need to invite Yumi Horikoshi out after the students go to the festival, talk about business while playing table tennis, and then use the characteristic of "sudden death during exercise, and the speed of stiffness will be faster than usual" to confuse the time of death. Forcibly advance the time of Horikoshi Yumi's death to the time when a group of people play table tennis together, and then remove their suspicion.

——This is the follow-up plan of Kazushi Nakamichi.

But at this stage, no one can see the intention of Nakamichi and Kazushi casually proposing "to play table tennis" except for the comparison.

Conan and Mao Lilan didn't think too much, and followed Mao Li Kogoro to play table tennis.

Mao Lilan originally wanted to attract Jiang Xia, but seeing that Jiang Xia was concentrating on reading and accompanied by acquaintances, she finally left quietly without opening her mouth.

Before the festival started, Mori Kogoro and others stopped playing and went out one after another.

Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru were still sitting in the lobby waiting for the writer.

During this period, Imatake Tomo never went downstairs.

His companion, Sasai Nobuichi, left the hotel and headed towards the festival. Before going out, Sasai Nobuichi went to the front desk to ask the time on the pretext that his watch was broken.

Jiang Xia glanced at him from a distance, Sasai Shinichi also had a lot of murderous intent on him.This way of deliberately impressing people is obviously also a reserve murderer who is trying to prove himself an alibi.

Toru Amuro also noticed Shinichi Sasai, but he didn't pay much attention - as a detective in the science world, he was very insensitive to such anomalies before the crime.

As the time of the festival approached, there were fewer and fewer people in the hotel.

More than ten minutes later, when the festival was about to start, Toru Amuro glanced at his watch, then looked upstairs, and said in a low voice, "...Imatakechi will not forget that there is a festival today, right?"

At this time, a man wearing sunglasses, a scarf, and a hat, pushed open the door of the hotel, walked into the room, and hurriedly walked straight to the second floor.

Jiang Xia glanced at this strange person.Although he didn't see his face, he knew it was Sasai Shinichi who had just left.

The shikigami manufacturing machines have all arrived, Jiang Xia stood up and looked at Toru Amuro: "Shall I go up and see the situation?"

Amuro nodded.

He didn't go with him, Jiang Xia met the writer by chance by himself, it can still be considered a chance encounter, it was too deliberate for two people to go up at the same time.

And this hotel has more than one staircase, in case when Jiang Xia goes up, their target Tomoki Imake happens to come down from the other side, and Toru Amuro stays in the lobby, which can accurately retain people.

Jiang Xia went up the stairs to the second floor.

According to the reports from the ghosts, at this time, two murders were going on at the same time on the second floor.

In Room 201, there are two classmates of Mori Kogoro—Nakamichi Kazushi and Horikoshi Yumi.Horikoshi Yumi used intimate photos to extort money from Nakamichi Kazushi. Nakamichi Kazushi just lied to her that he had stolen her photo just now, so Horikoshi Yumi rushed back to the room, where she was rummaging through her backpack.

Behind her, Nakamichi and Shi raised their guns at her, intending to shoot her dead, and then disguised everything as suicide.

In Room 202, there are Tomomo Imatake and Nobuichi Sasai.This pair of former friends started on the same starting line. The former became famous, but the latter was unknown.In the end, Sasai Nobuichi gradually became murderous, and he spent a year preparing for this murder.

In the ceremony here, bonfires in the shape of "sky", "down" and "one" will be set off on the top of the mountain in sequence.

Sasai Nobuichi returned to the room wearing a disguise and messed up things first. He wanted to disguise the scene as someone burglarizing.

As a senior otaku, Tomo Imatake is not interested in festivals. He came here today purely because Nobuichi Sasai insisted on meeting here, saying that he had something important to discuss.

Hearing movement in the room suddenly, Tomo Imatake walked out of the room suspiciously, and saw Nobuichi Sasai standing at the door, covered tightly.

Imatakechi said doubtfully, "You are..."

Sasai Nobuichi smiled at him and pulled out his gun suddenly.

……

When Jiang Xia walked to the stairs on the second floor, through the window of the corridor, he could see the fireworks at the festival from afar.

At the same time as the fireworks exploded, there was a "bang" gunshot in the hotel.It was actually two shots, but because they sounded at the same time, it sounded like there was only one gun.

……

Sasai Nobuichi shot and killed Tomo Imatake one by one. He carried a bag of belongings, pretended to be a robber, and rushed out the door.

Some customers in the corridor poked their heads out suspiciously, not sure whether the noise just now was fireworks or gunshots, Sasai Nobuichi lowered his voice and yelled at the onlookers: "Get out of the way!"

Passers-by saw the gun in his hand and swished back into the room.

Once Sasai Nobuyuki finished shouting, he glanced around and found that there was only one young man passing by in the corridor.It was Jiang Xia.

Sasai Xuanyi looked vigilantly, and found that although Jiang Xia didn't retreat into the room, she didn't intend to step forward to stop him either.

So he didn't pay much attention to this passerby in his eyes, and ran past Jiang Xia.

The moment they passed each other, Sasai Nobuichi's collar was heavy, and he was suddenly pulled into the air from behind, followed by a heavy blow on his wrist.

Sasai Nobuichi let out a scream, and let go of his grip.At the same time that the gun fell to the ground with a click, his whole body was swung around like a sack, and he hit the ground with a bang.

Sasai Nobuichi, a mental worker, was defenseless against this sudden attack, and he was knocked unconscious the moment he landed.

And what fell from him was not only a gun, but also a camera.

The camera drew an arc in the air, and precisely fell to the door of room 201, which is the room where Kazushi Nakamichi and Yumi Horikoshi were.

While knocking the door open a crack, the moment the camera landed on the ground, a lump of clay-like thing protruded from the ground, and hit the shutter indistinctly.The camera made a shutter click sound, which was wrapped in clay and diluted by the sound of Nobuichi Sasai slapping the ground, so it was not particularly conspicuous.

After the camera has completed its mission, it continues to slide aside.

One hand caught it just as it was about to tumble down the stairs.

Amuro Toru heard the gunshots and ran upstairs vigilantly.

Behind him are Mao Lilan and Conan—the two were already on their way to the festival, but on the way, Mao Lilan remembered that Horikoshi Yumi hadn't come, and thought she was still sleeping in the room, so she took Conan back to find her .

Chapter 192 Do You Really Want To Argue With The Detective×3

When Mao Lilan and Conan were approaching the door of the hotel, they also heard gunshots.

Conan thought it was the sound of setting off fireworks at first, but soon, he remembered that Jiang Xia was still in the hotel, and his face suddenly changed.

——Since Jiang Xia is here, according to Jiang Xia's nature of the incident, it seems very reasonable for a shooting to happen...

Conan ran into the hotel gate. He didn't quite know where the gunshots came from, but he happened to see Toru Amuro going upstairs, so he followed decisively.

……

Just now, Toru Amuro sat downstairs comfortably, waiting for Jiang Xia to lure the writer out.

Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for the writer, a shot was fired.

Amuro Toru was startled immediately and stood up abruptly.In his heart, the only dangerous people in this hotel are him and Jiang Xia.So when he heard the gunshot, he thought it was Jiang Xia who got the gun secretly from somewhere, and when he went upstairs and found something was wrong, he fired the gun.

However, when he went up to the second floor, Toru Amuro saw the masked man stepped on by Jiang Xia, and then glanced at the gun and the strange wallet that had fallen on the ground, realizing that he had made a mistake.

The truth is probably that there was a robbery with a gun here, and Jiang Xia was just acting bravely in an ordinary way.

...Thinking about it, Jiang Xia has always been quite law-abiding, but she thought of him so much just now, it really shouldn't be.

Toru Amuro put on his gloves, picked up the gun on the ground, and looked at the camera he had caught just now: "Is this the stolen goods he snatched?"

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why a robber should carry a camera with him.

And if it's stolen goods...

Toru Amuro glanced at the wide open door of Room 202, thinking that this camera might be the thing he had been planning to get, Satoshi Imatake's.Unexpectedly, it bumped into his hand directly, which was lucky.

Hearing Amuro Toru's question, Jiang Xia knew that Amuro Toru hadn't found out that the beaten robber on the ground was Sasai Shinichi, so he casually said, "Maybe."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xia poked Sasai Shinichi who collapsed on the ground.

Finding that the man rolled his eyes and couldn't wake up for a while, Jiang Xia threw him on the ground in peace.He walked to the door of Room 202, took a look inside, and then frowned.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Toru Amuro walked to Jiang Xia's side and looked inside.

I saw Tomo Imatake lying in the room with a bullet hole in his forehead, and he was dead.

Amuro sighed in a complicated mood.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to try to find a reason not to silence this innocent author when he was doing this task.Unexpectedly, Imatake Chi was killed by a passerby...

……

One person died, Mao Lilan immediately took out his cell phone and whispered to the police.

After calling the police, she remembered about Yumi Horikoshi, and knocked on the door of Yumi Horikoshi's room, but no one answered.

Seeing this, Jiang Xia pretended to be thinking, and moved the progress bar slightly: "There is so much movement outside, if Aunt Horikoshi is in the room, why should I come out and take a look... Could she have left already?"

Hearing what he said, Toru Amuro looked at Room 201, which was opened a crack by the camera just now, and felt a little strange. If the person left, why didn't the door be locked?

He thought for a moment, walked over and opened the door.

The door gradually slid open, Toru Amuro saw the situation inside the room, and was slightly taken aback—directly opposite the door, Horikoshi Yumi sat on the ground leaning against the wall, with blood streaming from her forehead, and a large amount of blood was also spattered on the wall behind her .

There is no one else in the room.

Conan found the body and ran into the house quickly.Jiang Xia also walked in.

At this moment, Nakamichi Kazushi was wearing a bath towel, and passed steamingly through the corridor—he had just killed Horikoshi Yumi, and noticed the strange movement outside the house, so he hurriedly posed for Horikoshi Yumi, then escaped from the window, and then went outside Go back down the hallway, pretending to be passing by.

Nakamichi and Shi went to the door and looked inside.

When he saw several people approaching Horikoshi Yumi's body, he immediately shouted angrily: "Come out, don't touch her! Protect the scene and call the police. No one is allowed to enter until the police come!"

Kazushi Nakamichi is an active criminal police officer. Currently, his relationship with Yumi Horikoshi is just an old classmate who is not familiar with each other.This kind of rational behavior amidst grief is the reaction that he feels is most in line with the current personality.

However, as soon as Zhongdao Hezhi finished speaking, he saw several people in the room looking back at him at the same time, all of them thoughtful, and their eyes made his back shudder.

Zhongdao and Zhi froze, intuitively feeling that something was wrong, but they didn't know what the problem was.

Jiang Xia withdrew her gaze, put on her gloves, and pushed Horikoshi Yumi's forehead hair away.

A bullet hole was exposed underneath.

Toru Amuro took a closer look, then frowned at Nakamichi Kazushi: "'Protect the scene'... You haven't seen the wound just now, so you're so sure she's dead?"

Zhongdao Hezhi's heart tightened, and he stammered a bit and said, "Because...there's a lot of blood on the wall..."

Conan also felt that something was wrong: "But Uncle Yumi is a friend of Auntie Mei, even if there is only a slight possibility, as long as it is not confirmed that the person is dead, shouldn't you go to the ambulance first?"

Nakamichi Kazushi bit the bullet and said, "I just said to call the police? I remember I also said to call an ambulance... Maybe everyone was too nervous and missed it."

Several detectives silently glanced at him and said nothing, but began to think in their hearts.

……

The grand festival caused some traffic jams on the road, and it took nearly half an hour for the police to arrive.
