Conan's Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia didn't accept this suggestion, he shook his head lightly, and said seriously: "It's still a long time before dawn, we can't think highly of the criminal's psychological quality—if he gets entangled and feels that this matter can't be hidden from us, he packs his luggage and leaves at night , the follow-up will be very troublesome."

And there is another case at the Spider Mansion.After the case is solved, he has to find gin and vodka as soon as possible to prevent the two busy men in black from thinking that he is slow and leaving him to go to Moon Shadow Island ahead of time...

Hui Yuanai looked at Jiang Xia thoughtfully, feeling that he seemed to have an idea: "Can you call the police?"

As these words came out, she suddenly remembered the strange landline in the hotel.

——When encountering similar closed situations in the past, the telephone line was often cut directly.

But this time, the entire phone line was gone.

This might mean...

"The phone line wasn't destroyed, it was hidden...do you have a way to get it?"

Hui Yuanai's eyes lit up slightly when he thought that he would soon find the police, end the case, and go back to his room for a good night's sleep.

Jiang Xia was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something.

He looked down at Hui Yuan Ai who was calm and calm, who looked like an elegant adult in every way except that he looked like a child.

Suddenly, I remembered the scene in the original world line, where the fake kid pretended to have a stomachache, rolled all over the floor, and forced the person who hid the phone line to hand over the line.

... Ashamed to say.He was a little curious.

Jiang Xia looked at Huiyuan Ai, pressed her conscience, then looked at Huiyuan Ai, and pressed her conscience...

Hui Yuanai was waiting to hear "how to find the phone line", but he didn't hear anything for a long time.

She looked up suspiciously.

Seeing Jiang Xia staring straight at her, he hesitated to speak.

Haibara Ai:"……?"

"That..." Jiang Xia made up his mind, bent down and said in a low voice, "If you pretend to have acute appendicitis and roll on the ground with a stomachache, that person may take the initiative to take out the thread."

Haibara Ai:"……"

She thought about that embarrassing scene, and her solemn expression slowly froze.

... It would be fine if everyone present didn't know that she was an adult.But now, Jiang Xia is next to him, and there is also Dr. A Li who knows about it.

Hui Yuanai's eyes drifted away, looking at his calm self reflected on the black window, and fell into deep thought.

... If someone else uses her as a tool, she may take the opportunity to blackmail a fashionable new bag.

It's not that I can't afford it, but mainly because I want to see the pained expression on the other person's face, and use that heartache to make up for my shame.

However, Jiang Xia's proposal actually makes sense.If you want to get the phone line without injury, this, this seems to be the way.

Hui Yuanai looked at the tidy floor in the hall, silently thinking about the posture and lines of rolling around later, and gathered up some courage.

But even after deciding to do it, it was still a bit embarrassing in the end.

Her face was calm, but she couldn't stop talking, and she muttered as if to ease the atmosphere: "When a child has appendicitis, he will hand over the phone line... Is that kind of person really so kind? Wait, that means you already know who is hiding it phone line? If you know who it is, there should be other ways."

It was just looking for something to say when I was embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Hui Yuanai suddenly saw Jiang Xia's eyes drifting to the side with sharp eyes, as if he was a little guilty.

Haibara Ai:"?"

She recalled Jiang Xia's actions just now to make sure she read correctly.

So he pulled him back in shock, and confirmed, "...do you really have another way?"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Although he has a lot of ways to divert other people's attention, he is also very good at avoiding the important ones and calmly leading the topic to other places, so as to avoid topics he doesn't want to discuss.But when he was directly caught and questioned like now, he was still not used to lying so directly.

After Hui Yuan Ai finished asking, Jiang Xia's eyes flicked to the side again, and she nodded her head very lightly - slightly invisible, but she was indeed nodding.

Haibara Ai:"……"

...It's so dangerous, she was ready to lie down just now.

And now...

Hui Yuanai immediately put away his attention on the floor, stood up straight again, and said with a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes, "If you have a way, go by yourself!"

Jiang Xia sighed slightly as if disappointed.

After a while, he turned around quietly and looked at the suspicious people in the hall.

Seeing this, Hui Yuanai glanced at him, and couldn't help being a little worried.

When Jiang Xia walked over there, she stretched out her hand to hold him, and said in a low voice: "I want to hear what method you want to use first. If it's not very safe, I, I can actually..."

"It's okay, it's safe. You can just help me with other things..." Jiang Xia deeply reflected on her conscience, and felt that it was a bit too rich in strange places.

He asked Hui Yuanai a few words, waved to her, and walked to the side of the three suspects in a normal mood.

Then, before everyone could react, he held down the bewildered Boss Tiantu, and put his hand into his pocket and yanked.

... pulled out a neatly coiled bundle of telephone wires.

Chapter 396 "Jiangxia Observation Notes"

When Boss Tiantu panicked and subconsciously wanted to regain the phone line, Jiang Xia raised his hand and pressed him on his shoulder, pushing him back to the original place.

Then he took the bundle of phone cords to the phone, plugged it in, and called the police.

Hui Yuanai, who looked back at every step and wondered what Jiang Xia could do: "..."

As expected of you.

Holding the anesthesia needle in her pocket, she found that Boss Tiantu and the others didn't seem to have the idea of ​​violent resistance, so she walked lightly to the guest room to do what Jiang Xia had just told her.

……

Everything happened so smoothly, so naturally, as if it was the way it should be.

When the others came back to their senses one after another, Jiang Xia had already read the address to the police on the other side of the phone to the business card placed on the front desk, and briefly said about the bones at the foot of the mountain, and then hung up the phone.

There was a light click when the earpiece made contact with the body.

Several people in the hall moved a little and came back to their senses.

Then he looked at the suspicious Boss Tiantu at the same time: "You killed the person? You also forged the suicide note?!"

"I, I..." Boss Tiantu didn't expect things to develop like this. He clutched his pockets that had been emptied before he recovered, and argued weakly, "No..."

"It was he who sent the invitation, and it was he who cut us off from the outside world."

While talking, Jiang Xia fiddled with the phone while lowering her eyes, and turned on the recording - this will save a lot of energy when taking notes in the future.

Seeing the recording symbol start to run, he put down the phone, and fast forwarded concisely:

"Boss Tiantu did this because he accidentally discovered Mr. Kono's remains and the death messages. But he failed to decipher the information about the murderer, so he had to collect all the guests who lived here on the day Mr. Kono disappeared. Invited over."

Boss Tiantu heaved a sigh of relief and sat back on his chair heavily.

He looked gratefully at the detective who didn't call him a murderer to make a profit: "Yes, I originally hoped that the murderer would turn himself in after seeing the skeleton and the death message, or show abnormalities... I didn't expect to wait for half a night , but only waited for Mr. Erchuan who left a suicide note and committed suicide because of it.

"If someone died, I wouldn't dare to say that I sent the invitation letter... Sigh, I knew it would happen. When I found the bones, I should have notified the police immediately..."

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so Erchuan Hajime committed suicide... The team that went to the top of the cliff just now relaxed.

Yuan Shan and Ye were still very vigilant.

When they split up to find someone in the mountains just now, she and Jiang Xia were in the same group, so they also saw the death message left by Er Chuan Zhao, and knew that it was not a suicide.

And if Boss Tiantu is not the murderer...

She turned to look at Etsuko Nonomiya and Heihachi Migami.

As usual, it seems that another method of elimination is needed here.

However, according to the reports she had read, Jiang Xia didn't seem to have this habit. Just now he mentioned Boss Tiantu because too many people thought that the boss was the murderer...

Sure enough, a second later, Yuan Shan and Ye heard the answer.

"The one who attacked Hajime Erkawa and pushed him off the cliff should be his boss, the editor-in-chief of "Space_Sunday"—Mr. Migami."

Jiang Xia skipped the necessary steps, and looked at Mishang Heihachi who was suddenly cueed with an ugly face:

"Judging from the order of names on the register a year ago, your name was written after Mr. Kono, so he may have just heard someone calling you 'みかみ', but he didn't know how to write it—compared to '御上'," The surname "Mikami" is more common, so the death message left by Mr. Kono after falling off the cliff is to let the person who found him spell the surname "Sankami" with four long and two short cigarettes, and then find you.

"When it was replaced by Mr. Erchuan, his death message became 'five long and two short' - although the murderer is the same person, but if the original four long and two short are still used to refer to it, others may think that Mr. Erchuan There are strangely long cigarettes and cigarette cases around him because he was trying to decipher Kono-san's message, and thus ignored the message.

"So he added a pack of cigarettes to the pack, five long and two short, just enough to spell 'Heihachi' in Yugami Heihachi's name.

"The two death messages actually point to the same person."

Jiang Xia looked at Yushang Pingba as he spoke, and saw that his mouth was tightly pursed and his face was gloomy.

...Very well, according to experience, according to the current posture, the editor-in-chief is not far from self-destruction on the spot.

Jiang Xia secretly added the last flame: "Mr. Erchuan fell in front of us and died on the spot, so the operation where he secretly left the death message was carried out on the top of the cliff. He was hit by a blunt object on the back of the head. Traces - so it should not be pushed down directly, but was wounded first, and then a cigarette was added to the cigarette pack when the murderer was writing a suicide note with his mobile phone.

"By the way, judging from the wound on Mr. Erchuan's head, the shape of the murder weapon is rather thin. If you estimate its size..."

Jiang Xia suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the huge luggage bag in the corner of the room: "—it just fits in the barrel of your telescope."

Yushang Heiba ​​was startled and turned his head abruptly.

He saw his bag—the bag that should have been in his own room, but suddenly appeared in the hall.

...and a little mixed-race girl who was standing beside her panting because she struggled to carry her bag just now.

Hui Yuanai just heard that Jiang Xia asked her to help bring the bag, but she didn't hear that there was a murder weapon inside.

After arriving, she heard Jiang Xia say "hidden", and she suddenly realized that there was something dangerous in the bag.

Hui Yuanai's eyes changed slightly, and he subconsciously grasped the strap again, trying to drag the bag away and hide it secretly.

But before that, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Jiang Xia.

I saw Jiang Xia shook his head slightly.The others were all attracted by Yushang Heihachi and Bao, and did not see this scene.

Haibara Ai:"……"

She vaguely understood something, let go of her hand, and didn't care about the bag anymore.

Then silently added an item to the "Jiang Xia Observation Notes" in his heart.
