Conan's Corpse Picker

……

As the chief planner and executor of the serial attack case, Sawaki is not surprised that Mori Kogoro would regard himself as "eight".

He calmly received a group of policemen.

But when he saw Jiang Xia at the end of the team, the corners of Sawaki Fairy's eyes twitched imperceptibly.How did this detective come here?What does this case have to do with him...

While serving tea to the guests, Sawaki Fairy secretly looked up Jiang Xia's full name.

Then he fell into meditation on "Tong".

He seems to know why Jiang Xia is here...

"Tong" is not a very common Chinese character.

Before this, Sawaki Kogoro was full of thoughts about Hiroki Tsuji. He never thought that Mori Kogoro would give the number "ten" to someone else without authorization. A few days ago, Mori Kogoro had just met Tsuji in a hotel. Hiroki... Heh, superficial friend, hypocrite, tui!

Thinking about it this way, Sawaki Fair immediately became more confident-since Mori Kogoro is the kind of person who doesn't care about his friends, then he involved Mori Kogoro in the center of the incident, and it was only a choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.His meager conscience suddenly felt completely relieved.

After Sawaki confirmed Jiang Xia's full name, he erased his browsing history and put away his phone.

Afterwards, he secretly adjusted his state, telling himself that no matter how good the detective is by the media, he is still just a kid who just entered high school, he can be vigilant, and he can't mess himself up.

And in Zemu's fair impression, most of the cases Jiang Xia solved in the past were multiple-choice questions with limited suspects.

But now this assault case is an open question for the detectives and the police, and even a proof question with a limited answer - with the police's misleading, Jiang Xia's attention should be more focused on On "Murakami Takeshi".

Sawaki Fair secretly made some psychological construction.

Afterwards, when he returned to the table, he had regained his gentle sommelier appearance.

The Megure Police Department informed Sawaki of the series of attacks and advised him to avoid going out alone in the near future.

Sawaki Fair listened carefully, and then showed a distressed look: "But I'm going to an important appointment soon. You know Asahi Katsuyoshi—the famous industrialist.

"Recently, he built a large-scale marine entertainment facility in Tokyo Bay - Water Crystal Restaurant. After he heard about my plan to open a store, he intends to hand over one of the stores to me. So we made an appointment at three o'clock this afternoon. Let's talk about it."

Jiang Xia looked down at Shikigami who was firmly on Sawaki Fairy's lap, and repeated in a low voice thoughtfully: "Katsuyoshi Asahi?"

The paper-like shikigami slowly raised a corner, as if turning its head to look at him, then it turned back slowly, and gripped tightly again.

Although the shikigami has almost no thinking, only simple obsession, the fact that the name is pronounced by the psychic will still make it react.

Conan couldn't see the scene on Sawaki's fair leg, but he also grasped the point from the words: "There is a 'nine' in Asahi! And this name, I always feel a bit familiar..."

Mori Kogoro hesitated: "Xu Shengyi is the client who entrusted me to find a cat before, that is, the cat with the ? on the side... But apart from this commission, we have no other intersection."

Can this also be counted in the sequence?The attackers were too careless...

However, although it feels a bit far-fetched, since there are no other "nines" at the moment, and Sawaki Fair is going to see Asahi Katsuyoshi soon.

Therefore, the Megure Police Department felt that they could go to the appointment with Sawaki Fair.Protect these two while trying to catch the attacker.

Sawaki Fair did not refuse, and when he got up, he even felt a little impatient.

——He placed a large number of bombs in the crystal restaurant and made some arrangements in advance.As long as he gets there, it's his home field.

At that time, even if someone—such as the detective who appeared out of nowhere—suspected him, he could bury the person he wanted to get rid of in the Crystal Restaurant with just a little extra effort.

When a group of people went out together to meet Xu Shengyi, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at Sawaki Fairy.

A lot of killing intent...

And it just popped up out of nowhere.

Since it appeared suddenly, these murderous auras were not aimed at the targets Sawaki had set, but other people—such as detectives and policemen who intervened suddenly.

... If this is the case, then after picking up the ghosts, you can knock out all the murderous spirits.

This kind of serial killer is really considerate, even if they send ghosts, what's even more rare is that they usually give matching killing intent at the same time.Although the number of murderous intents is generally small, they can allow psychics to avoid the difficult multiple-choice question of "ghost or murderous intent". These are really good people...

……

When he was about to go to Tokyo Bay, Sawaki just sat in the driver's seat when he suddenly felt that the passenger's door was opened.

He was startled, looked sideways, and saw Jiang Xia sitting next to him as if nothing had happened.

Sawaki fair: "...?"

He, did he have a flaw somewhere? !

……impossible!When he attacked those people before, he didn't leave any traces. How could Jiang Xia suddenly suspect him?

...Don't panic, you can't get yourself confused.

Jiang Xia would come over, maybe it was just because there were too many people in the other car, so he came to rub the car.

Just as Sawaki just thought of this, he found out the loopholes in this conjecture suspiciously—even so, the person who came to ride with him should be his old friend Mori Kogoro, or the policeman eager to protect the citizens.

What happened to Jiang Xia running over?

...There is a conspiracy!

Chapter 232 Jiang Xia is not such a casual person

Sawaki just grabbed the cloth cover on the steering wheel and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his palm.

Calm down.

Even if this young detective is really talented and realizes that there is something wrong with the "eighth victim", then at present, Jiang Xia must only be suspicious of him, not have the evidence.

——Otherwise, with Jiang Xia's habit of solving cases, he must have already told everything.Instead of just sitting closer and watching him secretly like now.

Thinking of this, Sawaki fair heart must.

——As long as he survives the ten-minute journey until he reaches the water crystal, he can still carry the audience.

He knew the location of the bomb in the restaurant, after all he had planted it himself.

At that time, as long as Jiang Xia is secretly guided before the detonation, so that Jiang Xia is closer to the detonation point, everything will be resolved together.

Now that he has decided to kill so many people, of course there is no need for a detective. In short, for his own peaceful life in the future, this shrewd detective must die in Shuijing!

Thinking of this, Sawaki put down the handbrake and started driving.

At the same time, like a decent good man who doesn't mind being rubbed against the car, he smiled at Jiang Xia and nodded, determined to put on the mask of a good man to the end.

However, when he turned his head, Sawaki Fairy was a little surprised to find that Jiang Xia didn't look at him vigilantly, and he didn't show the detective's eyes like staring at the prisoner.

On the contrary, Jiang Xia's eyes were very friendly, and his expression was very comfortable. He leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, looking inexplicably reminiscent of a cat stuck to a heat source in a cold weather.

...However, for a would-be murderer, this detective is not at the level of a cat.

Sawaki just felt that sitting next to him was a leopard that was ready to jump up and eat him at any time.

The kingly spirit he had just built up to carry the whole audience vented out again, and Jiang Xia's weird eyes stared at him with horror.

...What the hell is this detective trying to do?

……

Unknowingly, Sawaki drove the car very fast, just wanting to hurry to his field.

The people in the car behind were a little confused at first, but after thinking about it, they felt that Sawaki Fair might be eager to open the shop and didn't want to be late for such an important moment to meet with Boss Asahi, so they all expressed their understanding and drove to catch up with him.

Several people soon came to Tokyo Bay.

The weather is fine, the sea is calm, the sea is blue, and a long cable car track protrudes from the shore and extends all the way into the center of the bay.

Jiang Xia looked along the track and found that at the end of it, there was a luxurious offshore building that looked like a low-profile version of the Sydney Opera House—this was the recently completed Water Crystal.

A group of people briefly enjoyed the spectacular scenery, and then prepared to take the cable car to the Crystal Water Restaurant as instructed by "Xu Shengyi".

At this moment, as if it was an appointment, four luxury cars drove up nearby, and four celebrities got off from them.

——Supermodel Nana Koyama, essayist Minoru Nishina, photographer Nagai Shishido, and foreign boss Peter Ford.

Koyama Uchi Nana's name "Nai Nai" sounds the same as "seven", plus Shishido Yongming's six, Mori Kogoro's five, Peter Ford's (four), the full name of Shiratori Police Department Shiratori Ren Saburo, As well as Nishina Minoru, the people are almost the same.

Almost, because there is still a "one".

Jiang Xia remembered that the last "one" refers to Kudo Shinichi.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glanced at Sawaki Fairy who was surrounded by murderous aura.

This person seems to dislike him so much, why doesn't he mind Kudo Shinichi getting involved in the case?Could it be that he also discovered that Kudo Shinichi often stepped on the dead line in serial murder cases to solve the case, and wouldn't interfere with him before everything happened?

...It seems that Sawaki Fair is not as timid as he looks, but a person who is willing to pursue excitement and challenges to a certain extent.

That's fine.

I hope that he will not be disturbed by external forces later, and can concentrate on what he should do...

……

Several famous people know each other, and they are not too polite to detectives and police.

A group of people chatted casually, and then discovered that Xu Shengyi actually asked all of them at the same time to meet at three o'clock.

This strikes celebrities as odd, and subtly uncomfortable.

But no matter how upset, I still have to go to the appointment, after all, the boss gives money.They comforted themselves that Xu Shengyi would meet with several people at the same time, maybe it was just because the schedule was too busy to arrange, or there were some multi-person cooperation projects...

It was almost three o'clock.

In order not to be late, the celebrities are going to the restaurant first.

The Mumu police department can only put away the talk about the case, and plans to wait until the place, and then explain the situation to a few people in detail.It happened that Xu Shengyi was also there at that time.

When going upstairs to look for the cable car, Conan looked at the group of people in front of him, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

After a few seconds, his face suddenly changed, he pulled Jiang Xia and said in a low voice: "Did you find out, except for 'three' or 'one', the people here just collected all the remaining numbers."

Jiang Xia was slightly puzzled: "'or'?"

...Even if Conan didn't know the full name of the Shiratori police department is "Shiratori Rensaburo", he shouldn't have used the strange word "or".

It's as if someone can break it down into various numbers at will, and fill in where it needs to be...

Conan nodded solemnly: "You can divide the horizontal line in 'Xia' into three, or... three points of water can also be divided into 'three'? In addition, you can separate 'one' or 'two' from 'Jiang', and what else?" There is the vertical one, which happens to be the Arabic numeral '1'!"

Jiang Xia: "..."

To be reasonable, who doesn't have a horizontal or vertical in their name...

He sighed: "'Three' may refer to the Shiratori Police Department. When I went to the police station, I saw his full name on the duty list, 'Shiratori Ren Saburo'. As for 'One'..."
