Conan's Corpse Picker

The air was suddenly quiet.

After 0.5 seconds, Mrs. Shibata slammed on the ground and rushed towards the sharpened steel knife. At the same time, several police officers reacted and rushed towards her.

A group of people shuffled into the room.In the end, the police managed to hold the person down before Mrs. Shibata pulled out the knife, preventing her from committing suicide.

Such things as suicide are often in line with the characteristics of one effort, then decline and exhaustion.

Jiang Xia listened to Mrs. Shibata's crying, and the background voice of Jinghua Kimonobu's enlightening her, took out her mobile phone, and sent a text message to Mao Lilan with a hint of expectation: "Have you finished shopping?"

Add another one if you don't finish shopping.

You can wait for the record and do it later. It just so happens that the shikigami with the legs that I met today is quite sensible. When Mrs. Shibata was huddled with the police just now, the shikigami fell off her lap and was surrounded by crowds of spectators. The happy mermaid hugged her back.

Mao Lilan deserves to be the most reliable assistant for picking up ghosts. Not long after Jiang Xia sent a text message, she came back with a message:

[We met Hattori's friend at Meiji Jingu Shrine, and now we are visiting at his house]

A detailed address is also thoughtfully attached at the back.

……

Hattori Heiji and the others met at the Meiji Shrine happened to be the fiancee Katagiri Kaede of the Morion family, and the housekeeper who accompanied her, Akio Shigematsu.

Hattori Heiji knew that the main purpose of his mother's visit to Tokyo this time was to attend the wedding banquet of Morion's family tomorrow.The newlyweds who are about to get married are the Kaede Katagiri whom they met in front of them, and the well-known playboy of the Moriyuan family, Chrysanthemum Mori.

It was a rare encounter, so Steward Shigematsu invited several people to visit Mori Yuan's house.

Hattori Heiji originally didn't want to go because he was afraid of delaying his commission for tomorrow, but he always felt that the bride-to-be Katagiri Kaede looked a little strange and felt a little uneasy.

He hesitated for a moment, but went to Senyuan's house.Toyama Kazuha, Mori Ran and Conan also followed of course.

As the son of Shizuka Hattori, the group received rich hospitality, and met the people of the Moriyuan family one after another: the owner of the house with white hair, Mikio Morizono, his daughter Yurie Morizono, the adopted son of the butler Shigematsu Yuji Sakuraniwa, And the son of the Moriyuan family--the Moriyuan Juren who looks romantic, but speaks earthy love stories.

Hattori Heiji was a little nervous before he came, but when he really arrived at the place and saw this group of people who were fairly harmonious, he was relieved a lot.

After dinner, when he was about to leave, Hattori Heiji walked in the yard with his pockets in his pockets, looked up at the crescent moon quietly hanging in the sky, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shan and Ye wondered, "What's wrong?"

Hattori Heiji looked at the two Tokyo high school students walking in front, and whispered to her in a low voice: "With Jiang Xia not here, the environment will indeed become safer."

"..." Yuan Shan and Ye glanced at him, feeling that this little boy was wearing highly colored glasses, "What's the matter with Guan Jiangxia? Don't you always encounter various incidents? Maybe the ones you complained about The case was actually brought on by you yourself."

Hattori Heiji snorted: "Although I have solved a lot of cases, a large part of them are theft, fraud and other bloodless cases. But when I come to Tokyo..."

Halfway through the conversation, they suddenly heard a roar from far to near, as if a motorcycle was approaching at high speed.

Hattori Heiji looked at the door suspiciously.The Mori family's mansion is located in a suburb with good air, some distance from the urban area.In the middle of the night, there are people racing in this kind of place...

Conan's face changed slightly, as an innocent neighbor who was only one building away from Jiang Xia's house and was often passed by Jiang Xia's door, he always felt that the sound of the motorcycle was very familiar...

As soon as this idea flashed across, a motorcycle approached at high speed, and finally stopped at the gate of Senyuan's house with fine dust.

Under the street lights, the rider who was speeding at night took off his helmet, revealing a face that made Hattori Heiji's face change suddenly.

Jiang Xia straddled the motorcycle and looked at the two Osaka guests very friendly: "I didn't have time to have fun with you during the day, but I know a lot of entertainment activities suitable for the evening, should I go and see it?"

"Suitable for evening?" Yuan Shan and Ye seldom came out late at night, very interested, trotting over all the way, "Where are you going?"

"..." Conan immediately thought of Jiang Xia's group of murderous brothers who occasionally gave cats to the doctor's house, and the drag racing and game halls that followed... Jiang Xia wouldn't really use these to entertain guests, would he? !

Although Hattori Heiji was a little interested in Jiang Xia's nighttime activities, his repulsion towards Jiang Xia was enough to suppress all kinds of curiosity.

He was about to decline politely, and pulled Yuan Shan and Ye Ye back by the way.But at this moment, there was a crisp "click" sound from behind.

The shattering sound came from obliquely above, and the distance was not close, but the sound could clearly be heard far away in the quiet night.

The few people were shocked, and turned their heads to look at the tall and beautiful building of Senyuan's house, and saw that a window on the third floor was smashed from the inside, and the debris fell under the moonlight.

Hattori Heiji looked at the window, recalling the fear he felt when he was a guest at Mori Garden's house, and Jiang Xia who was standing at the gate of the yard at this time. For some reason, he felt a feeling that the sword hanging in the air had finally fallen.

He quickly came back to his senses, with a twitch in the corner of his eye, he threw the messy thoughts out of his mind, and then turned to the people behind him: "Keep an eye on that window, He Ye, go find Uncle Chongsong!"

After speaking, Hattori Heiji quickly rushed to the third floor, wanting to visit the room with the broken window.

Conan also quickly followed him.

It doesn't take many people to guard the windows, Mao Lilan is enough.

Jiang Xia put down his helmet and also ran to the house where the problem occurred.

When he saw the address of Senyuan's house before, he calculated the distance between the two places and thought he would not be able to arrive in time.

Unexpectedly, it came just in time.

Chapter 316 Double secret room and no martial arts

When three high school student detectives ran into the mansion one after another.

Behind the window on the third floor, a pair of eyes were hiding in the darkness, gloomyly looking down downstairs.

This is a suite consisting of two rooms inside and outside.The outer room was very dark, and there was a bloodstain on the ground caused by dragging the corpse. The bloodstain extended from the center of the room to the door of the inner room, and the inner room was lit with lights.

In this environment, people who come in from the door will immediately notice the bloodstains on the ground, and then follow the bloodstains and rush into the inner room with the lights on instead of searching outside.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum was hiding behind the curtain in the outer room at this time.

After he smashed the window, he waited for the guests or servants to run upstairs, discover and break into the secret room, and glanced at the inner room with a hint of resentment.

The body of the butler Shigematsu was lying there.

……

The love between the two generations of the Senyuan family is quite amazing.

Nearly 30 years ago, Steward Shigematsu's sweetheart came to visit him at Mori's house. At that time, Mr. Mori thought that the woman was here to visit him, so he happily proposed to her.Not long after, the two got together smoothly, and Steward Shigesong could only silently wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years.

But now, in this generation, what happened back then has happened again—Katagiri Kaede came to visit the adopted son of Butler Shigematsu, Yuji Sakuraba. thing.

The Moriyuan family quickly decided on the marriage of Moriyuan Juren and Kaedong Feng.Later, Steward Shigematsu realized that he had made a mistake.He didn't want the tragedy of the previous generation to repeat itself on his adopted son, so he decided to prevent the two from getting married.

I don't know whether it was due to guilty conscience or other reasons, but the housekeeper did not confess all this to Master Senyuan, but chose to start with Senyuan Chrysanthemum.

He asked Senyuan Juren to cancel the engagement, and threatened that if the other party did not do so, he would tell Master Senyuan about the illegal activities of Senyuan Juren Company.

From Senyuan Juren's point of view, it turned out that Housekeeper Shigematsu proposed a marriage for him, and then suddenly threatened him to cancel the engagement with the company's affairs, looking for trouble for nothing, with evil intentions.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum thought of the unrevealable secrets held by the housekeeper, and felt that if he did this time, he would definitely be threatened more in the future.So he decided to strike first, kill the butler who threatened him, and then put the blame on the adopted son of the housekeeper Shigesong, so that no one would be able to stop him.

After making up his mind, Senyuan Chrysanthemum drilled holes in the glass, got fishing tape, and designed a gaudy secret room to prepare for the blame.

After he finished killing people, he threw away the murder weapon, locked the doors and windows, arranged bloodstains on the ground and lights in the inner room, and planned to sneak in among them when others broke into the secret room and rushed to the inner room.

……

Just as he was thinking, there was a violent knock on the door and voices of questions.

Chrysanthemum Morionon, who was hiding behind the curtain, listened carefully and recognized Hattori Heiji's voice.

The Osaka detective who had just been a guest at his home in the evening knocked on the door and asked sharply, "Who's in there? What happened just now?!"

Immediately afterwards, the door lock was clicked and twisted by another person.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum heard an unfamiliar voice coming through the door: "It's locked."

Yuan Shan and Ye Zezheng led a few servants to run closer along the corridor, their voices were a little flustered: "I didn't find Uncle Zhongsong! Everyone said that they haven't seen him since just now."

——This room is not a bedroom, nor is it a specific study of a certain person, so only the butler Shigesong has the key here.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum hid behind the curtain. Hearing this sentence, he thought of the corpse of the butler Shigematsu in the inner room and the key in the arms of the corpse, and nodded secretly - in this way, the secret room was completely formed.

The group of people outside the door got no response and rushed to open the door anxiously.

Almost at the same time, Senyuan Chrysanthemum heard Yuan Shan and Ye's scream after being frightened by the blood on the ground.

He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he hadn't expected it—the eyes of the group of people who broke into the door must have focused on the blood on the ground.

After that, these people will follow the bloodstains to the inner room.When they were startled by the corpse and had no time to pay attention to the side, it was the time for him to appear on the stage quietly... Thinking of this, Senyuan Chrysanthemum twitched a sneer of planning.

However, the smile hadn't fully formed yet, and he heard that strange voice again who didn't know who it belonged to.

The person suddenly said: "Wait, there is something wrong with the shape here."

Mori Garden Chrysanthemum: "...?"

"Where?" Hattori Heiji was walking quickly towards the inner room, but after the strange voice sounded, Morien Chrysanthemum stopped when he heard Hattori's footsteps.

stopped outside.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum held her breath, and cold sweat gradually appeared on her forehead: Don't stop!Continue to the inner room!

However, things backfired.In the next second, he heard Hattori Heiji's voice suddenly becoming vigilant: "...Indeed."

Outside the curtain, footsteps sounded again.

But unlike Senyuan Chrysanthemum's expectations, the footsteps did not follow the bloodstains and walked towards the interior, but came straight to him, and the voice got closer and closer...

"..."

...Go away!do not come!

brush-

Ignoring his prayers, the curtain was pulled open, and a light appeared in front of Senyuan Juren. The light was not bright, but his body felt like being struck by lightning at this time.

In the slightly distorted expression of Morien Kikuto, Hattori Heiji looked at him in surprise: "It's you? What's the matter with the blood in the room?"

Jiang Xia walked around the room, communicated briefly with Mao Lilan downstairs, and then walked out from the inner room with a calm expression: "The windows are locked, and the key is on the butler Chongsong. This is a secret room."

Although it had been expected for a long time, after this fact was clearly pointed out, the eyes of everyone in the room looking at Moriyuan Kikuto changed completely.

A secret room filled with two people, one is dead, the other is alive and deliberately hiding... What happened here just now, anyone can imagine.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum stared at the person who came out of nowhere and disrupted his entire plan with a few words, and felt a burst of anger straight into Tianlinggai——

You talk too much! ! !

He violently pushed the person in front of him away, subconsciously wanting to run.

However, just as he took a step, he was grabbed by Jiang Xia.Hattori Heiji shot almost at the same time, grabbing the other arm of Morizono Kikuto, and with a little effort, the two of them pushed the absent-minded young master back against the wall.

There was a lot of commotion here just now with broken windows and slammed into the door.

Senyuan Juren struggled, he watched more and more people gathered at the door, and finally his eyes went dark, and he knelt down on the ground.

"...It's all Shigematsu's fault! He forced me!" Senyuan Juren didn't want to speak at first, but under the stares of a group of people, he still couldn't overcome the criminal instinct and said angrily, "If he didn't threaten me Cancel the engagement, how could I kill him!"
