Conan's Corpse Picker

Chapter 250 I Heard You Detectives Have A Gun?

Hijikata Kosaburo purposely handed out his business cards in the elevator to attract the attention of the three of them, preventing them from staring at the electronic screen and discovering the marks he had painted on it.

By the time the earthwork was delivered slowly, the elevator had already reached the sixth floor.

Of course, in the eyes of Mao Lilan and Conan, this is now the fifth floor.

Hijikata Kosaburo looked at Jiang Xia, who looked calm and seemed to know nothing about his tricks, and was extremely relieved.

He walked to the door of the house and rang the bell.The beautiful wife came out quickly.

The two performed a scene of harmony between husband and wife in front of the guests.Afterwards, Mrs. Tukata left with a smile on her face.

Hijikata Kosaburo asked Jiang Xia and the others to wait in the living room, and he left the living room as an excuse to make tea for a few people.

Mao Lilan looked at the clean and tidy house, sitting stiffly.But thinking that this is the home of a star, I couldn't help but look around with bright eyes.

Jiang Xia sat for a while, seeing that Kosaburo Hijikata still hadn't come back, so he took out his business card holder and sorted out the business cards inside calmly.

He found all these from the drawer of the detective agency.

Toru Amuro spends most of his time working around. Occasionally, he also puts on the skin of a "famous detective boss" to pretend to be a man, and contacts some clients purposefully.

During this period, Toru Amuro will meet many people and naturally receive many business cards.

Business cards, which are equivalent to the face of the other party, are not easy to throw away directly, so when Toru Amuro receives the business cards, he usually puts them in his bag first, and when he has accumulated a lot, he throws them in the drawer of the detective agency.

Anyway, the boss doesn't seem to need these things. After Jiang Xia asked him, he would regularly put the business cards in the drawer into his business card holder.

When you are free, use the fragmented time to filter, pick out business cards with familiar names, and store them separately.

There is a feeling of searching for treasures in an old house full of sundries when returning to my hometown.

Make rational use of every inch of resources around you.

In this way, Jiang Xia really managed to miss two or three cases.

And there is no need to worry that this will arouse Amuro Toru's suspicion.Although this undercover police officer has a good memory, he is definitely not as good at remembering any trifles as some others.What's more, it is very normal for a detective to encounter a murder case. Normal people don't think about it at all.

Amidst the crackling sound of paper rubbing against each other, Mao Lilan and Conan finished looking at the furnishings in the room, then turned their heads silently, and looked at Jiang Xia who was concentrating on counting the business cards.

The two high school students were quite emotional. They began to sort out their contacts by taking business cards seriously. They never expected that someone like Jiang Xia, who doesn't seem keen on socializing, would have to work hard on such things. Is this the world of social people...

Time is passing by quickly in the process of counting the business cards.

About half an hour later, Kozaburo Hijikata held a tray, opened the door with his elbow, and walked into the living room.

"I've been waiting for a long time." He put the teapot and cups in the tray on the table, and poured tea to several people in a strange way, apologizing, "These things were done by my wife before, and it took me a long time to find all the teapots and tea... Alas, housework looks simple, but after doing it, I realize that it is not the case.”

Jiang Xia glanced at his legs, took the teacup without saying anything.

Kosaburo Hijikata waited for a few seconds, seeing that Jiang Xia refused to answer, he couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

Fortunately, the other person heard the point of his words.

Mao Lilan felt that the air was too quiet, so she casually picked up topics to ease the atmosphere: "Is your wife out?"

"Yeah." Hijikata Kozaburo looked at her with relief, this is such a good boy, "She went to a friend's house."

Crazy hints that his wife is now at Okita's house.

Mao Lilan didn't immediately understand the meaning of that "friend", she just thought it was an ordinary friend.

After drinking tea, Kozaburo Hijikata put down his teacup, counted the time, and picked up a fake gun from the top of the TV.

This time, his excuse for inviting Jiang Xia over was that he was going to take on a detective drama soon, and wanted to ask Jiang Xia how to play a famous detective.

Kozaburo Hijikata handed the fake gun to Jiang Xia:

"This time I'm going to play a famous detective who is good at disguise. He is a guy who likes to play with guns, but I have never been in contact with these before... This is a fake gun that I bought back at a big price. Please You taught me a lot."

Jiang Xia stared at the gun quietly: "..."

Although he knows how to use it, it still reminds him of some unpleasant experiences.Having said that, when will the gun that the organization owes him be issued to him...

Mao Lilan stared blankly at the gun: Jiang Xia is a serious detective, how could he come into contact with this kind of thing, how dangerous it is... Speaking of which, is this uncle actor a bit serious?These days, some people actually think that detectives carry guns with them.

She found that Jiang Xia looked at the gun in a strange way, thinking that Jiang Xia also thought of the same thing as her, but she didn't know how to speak to the customer.

So he took the initiative to help out: "Well, in fact, very few detectives have guns..."

Kosaburo Hijikata was stunned: "That's it. But in the script I received, the first scene is a confrontation with gangsters with guns by this river."

When talking about "this river", he raised his finger to the large floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors at the back.It leads to a balcony.

Jiang Xia seemed to be interested in this topic, he asked, "Is the river here where the filming took place?"

Kosaburo Hijikata nodded, pushed open the glass door, and made a motion to invite them to the balcony.

……

The balcony is open and directly connected to the outside world. The wind with the breath of the river is blowing, and the view is wide.

After a group of people came to the balcony, Kosaburo Hijikata pointed to the river bank below: "Look, it's there."

This apartment building is built next to the river, and the river below is very wide.

The river surface, plus the river bank on the opposite side, from the balcony here to the opposite side, the house has become a small dot like a model.

And from the other side, of course, the same.

This also greatly facilitated Hijikata Kosaburo's ongoing murder plan.

——Just now, while Jiang Xia and the others were waiting in the living room, Kosaburo Hijikata killed his wife next door, and then fixed the body in front of the balcony door next door.

Now, they were watching the scenery from the balcony, with the corpse silently beside them.

Then, as soon as the timer was activated, the body would fall backwards onto the balcony.

In Hijikata Kosaburo's script, the place where the corpse is about to be poured out is the sixth floor, which is his own property.But after his careful preparation, Jiang Xia and others must have thought that the corpse was poured out from Okita's house.

And because the body falling to the ground is a dynamic process, according to normal thinking, Mrs. Tukata was pushed out of the balcony by the assailant, who was still in the room at this time.

Chapter 251 Jiang Xia, Come Down

In Tufang's perfect script, since Jiang Xia is some distance away from the balcony next door, it is impossible to judge whether Mrs. Tufang is dead or fainted.So at that time, what a few people should do is to rush to the "door of Okita's house" next to them, and smash the door to let Okita open the door.

Of course, in fact, there was no living person in the opposite house, so the door was doomed to fail to be knocked open.

At this time, Hijikata Kozaburo could take the opportunity to drive the others away, while he guarded the door to prevent the "assailant" from escaping.

The way to send Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan away is very simple - let one of them go to the apartment manager to ask for the spare key of Chong Tian's house, and the other go to the nearby police station to call the police.Next to Dojikata’s house, there is a police station next to it. If you don’t remember the independent phone number of the police station, running over to ask someone like this is faster than calling 110, and you can explain the situation on the way.

As for the extra child... When the child is in danger, he will subconsciously follow the acquaintance closely, anyway, he will not stay with him to guard the door of the "Okita House".

According to the plan, after the three people in the way had left, Hijikata Kozaburo could use a rope to lower the corpse from the balcony of his home to the balcony of Okita's home.Then wipe off the ink stains in the elevator, replace the house number with a normal number plate, and at the same time move from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, guarding the door of Okita's house, and you can complete this great movement of the universe.

Kosaburo Hijikata straightened out his script in his mind and felt that it was almost done.

The three students next to him were still looking at the scenery by the river.

Kozaburo Hijikata glanced at them, and secretly pressed the button in his hand.

In the room of "Okita"'s house next door, a telephone rang suddenly.

Mao Lilan vaguely heard the voice, and she reminded Kozaburo Hijikata: "The phone is ringing."

Kozaburo Hijikata smiled and waved his hands: "It's not my phone number, it should be from Okita's. He lives next door."

"That's it!" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up again, and she looked towards the neighbor with a little excitement—this place looks ordinary, but it turned out to be the balcony of a star!

After watching for a second, a dead body fell out of the room and fell on the balcony.

Mao Lilan with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "..."

Mao Lilan whose smile disappeared: "..."

Mao Lilan took out his mobile phone and pressed "1": "!!!"

At the same time, Kozaburo Hijikata also started acting vigorously, and he yelled his wife's name: "Yongmi!"

At the same time, in order to be more realistic, he suddenly raised his legs and stepped onto the balcony railing, as if to climb to the next door.

Surprised, Mao Lilan stopped calling the police for a while, and grabbed him hard: "Don't be impulsive, this is the fifth floor!"

"Why don't you let me be impulsive?! That's my wife!" Hijikata Kozaburo screamed anxiously while clutching the railing, "Yongmei! What's wrong with you, you..."

His voice came to an abrupt end.

——Beside, the railing slammed muffled.

Kosaburo Hijikata turned his face suspiciously, and saw a black leather boot stepped on it.

He suddenly thought of something, and with a buzz in his head, he suddenly raised his head, looked up along his legs, and saw Jiang Xia who was stepping on the railing.

Jiang Xia bowed her back slightly, staring directly at the corpse on the opposite balcony.

Kosaburo Hijikata: "..."

wait wait wait.

...It wouldn't be what he thought.

... This is the fifth floor! !

Kosaburo Hijikata's face changed suddenly, he stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed Jiang Xia's ankle.

However, before closing his palms, Jiang Xia kicked on the edge of the balcony, lightly jumped onto the railing of the opposite balcony, and then landed smoothly.

Under the gaze of Kosaburo Hijikata's sudden cardiac arrest, he walked to the corpse, knelt down and checked the pulse and breath of the corpse.

Then he stood up again and sighed softly: "It's been dead for a while, call the police."

Kosaburo Hijikata stared at him, feeling like his brain had stopped functioning.

...The script clearly should be that after being held back, he immediately led the guests and rushed to the gate of "Okita"'s house, and began to hammer the door.But now...

...how did things become like this?

His plan, his layout...

At this moment, the balcony door diagonally below was pulled open with a clang.

Okita was wearing casual clothes, pulled down the earphones around his neck, and looked suspiciously at the balcony of Kosaburo Hijikata's house.

He saw the three people gathered by the railing and asked, "I thought I heard someone shouting just now? What happened?"
