Conan's Corpse Picker

I thought it was going to be another run.

Unexpectedly, that "suspicious person" stopped less than two meters away from the corner.Officer Sato was astonished, and with a stride of his long legs, he was already sent to the "suspicious person" by inertia.

The sudden distance made Officer Sato, who has been fighting on the front line for a long time, feel a little sense of crisis—when Masuo and his wife came to the police station to take notes, she already knew something about the couple's situation. Live with the two of them, there will be no one else.

And now, Mr. Masuo is looking for his wife in the house. As for Mrs. Masuo... Although he only glanced briefly, the person in front of him is obviously a man, and it cannot be the lady who screamed not long ago. In short, Even if the "suspicious person" is not a gangster, he is at least a thief who broke into the house illegally.

This thought flashed by, and Miwako Sato didn't have time to think about it, and grabbed the opponent's shoulder, intending to capture and knock him down first.

However, the man suddenly pulled his hand as if he had eyes behind his back, and dodged to the side.

Hiding really fast... When I started fighting, my instinct was faster than my thinking. When I recovered, Sato had already hugged the "suspicious person" from behind and made a German-style arch bridge throw that she liked. preparatory action.

Suspicious Person Jiang Xia: "..."

... Is Officer Sato short-sighted?

Almost a second has passed, haven't you noticed that she is about to attack the allies?

Jiang Xia grabbed the external pipe in front to stabilize her figure.I intend to remind you euphemistically.

But before he could make a sound, a muffled groan came from behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the strength on the waist suddenly loosened.

Miwako Sato closed her eyes sleepily, and fell straight to the ground.

"...?"

Jiang Xia supported her by hand, turned around, and saw a child holding an anesthesia watch in the corner, with a slightly dazed expression, and the appearance of "causing trouble".

—Conan also followed.

Jiang Xia glanced at Miwako Sato who fell asleep in an instant, then silently turned to Conan who caused the scene: "...Why are you stabbing her?"

They are all acquaintances, and a shout should solve the problem... But now, Miwako Sato is asleep, and he has to find another eyewitness who is easy enough...

Conan closed the watch cover awkwardly: "...I didn't realize it just now."

——As a detective who is extremely good at observation, Conan and Miwako Sato noticed a suspicious figure outside the window when they stepped up the stairs.

After Officer Sato chased him out, Conan immediately opened the cover of the anesthesia watch and hurriedly followed, intending to anesthetize the "suspicious person" depending on the situation.

Due to the slow sprinting of legs, by the time Conan arrived, the two people behind the house had already fought unilaterally.

Conan heard some fighting movements, rushed out to take a look, and saw Jiang Xia and the "sneak attacker" behind him who was about to throw him in a dangerous position.

Because Conan's mind was full of "suspicious people in anesthesia" at this time, and he was more familiar with Jiang Xia, when he saw this scene at this time, he released the anesthesia needle reflexively.

Then, he realized that he seemed to be nervous and accidentally attacked the police...

... Next time, I still have to see clearly before acting.

It took Conan a second to briefly summarize his mistakes.

Then it took another 0.1 second to forget the summary, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Why are you here?"

"A client asked me to bring the cat over, but when I knocked on the door just now, no one came to open it. In addition, when she called me before, her tone was very nervous, as if she was involved in something important. I was worried that something might happen, so I wanted to go to the lighted room, but I ran into Officer Sato on the way.”

Hearing this reason, Conan nodded clearly, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Xia breaking into other people's yards—if it was him, he would probably take the same approach.

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she looked down at the faint pinhole on Miwako Sato's neck.

I think Officer Sato might have to faint for a few more minutes.So he didn't carry her all the time, but temporarily put the person beside him and asked her to sit against the wall first.

After standing up straight, Jiang Xia looked into the room through the window.

——This happens to be the room where Mrs. Masuo was exercising just now.Today is a cloudy day, and the outside of the house is quite dark. Instead, there are bright lights inside the room, and the scene inside is not difficult to see.

Chapter 446

Conan also approached the window curiously.

With his height, standing in the yard, it is difficult to see the scene in the house.

But he saw Jiang Xia's gradually serious expression.

Immediately afterwards, Conan noticed that his neighbor raised his hand anxiously, as if he wanted to push the window.

...what's going on inside?

Conan thumped in his heart. He glanced at the wall, trying to find a support point to climb up to have a look.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind and asked, "What are you doing?!"

Jiang Xia and Conan were stunned at the same time, and when they looked back, they saw a tall police officer with a coral head.

——The Shiratori Police Department followed at some point.

As a police officer of the first search section, Shiratori Ren Sanlang often met Jiang Xia, and picked up well-behaved and obedient prisoners from Jiang Xia.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to see through some of Jiang Xia Wenliang's behaviors under the surface.

At this time, Leng Buding saw Sato Miwako lying beside Jiang Xia, and the Shiratori Police Department suddenly became vigilant, secretly holding the gun in his pocket to strengthen his courage.

However, before asking Jiang Xia in detail, he suddenly heard some faint rustling sounds from the room in front of him.

Shiratori approached suspiciously, and through the window, saw the door of the side hall being opened.

A stout figure walked into the room—the store manager Masuo strode to the side of the collapsed cabinet.He raised his cuff and touched the cold sweat on his head, then tore off the thumbtack on the top of the bookcase used to fix the fishing line and hid it, and then lifted the cabinet up to straighten it.

After that, he didn't even look at the corpse on the ground, but bent down to pick up the fallen books and stuffed them back into the bookcase one by one.

After smoothly completing this set of actions that had been simulated in his mind for a long time, the store manager Masuo breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his waist, only to be belatedly aware that something was wrong.

He frowned and looked out the window.

The weather is strangely overcast today, and the lights in the house are bright again.

The store manager Masuo took a glance and saw his own reflection on the glass first, and after a few seconds, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

——Three faces were pasted on the window, and they were looking at him with different expressions.On the glass in front of the person's face, a small piece of water vapor has been faintly exhaled, and I don't know how long these people looked at him in shock.

Manager Masuo and the three witnesses looked at each other, and there was a buzzing in his head.He couldn't take a breath, clutched his heart, and fell into a pool of blood on the ground.

……

10 minute later.

Under the pressure of the new eyewitness tool Shiratori Police Department, Masuo store manager's mentality collapsed, and he confessed that he planned to kill his wife.

A few meters away, Miwako Sato rubbed her neck, walked to Jiang Xia's side, and asked suspiciously, "What happened just now?"

Conan was originally observing by the exercise bike.Hearing this question with sharp ears at this time, he froze slightly, and slowly moved behind the bookcase.

Jiang Xia looked very calm because of his innocence: "You came to arrest me suddenly, I thought there were gangsters, so I fought back... Maybe I accidentally knocked you out at that time."

"..." Officer Sato was still a little puzzled. She was hugging the person from behind. With that posture, it would be difficult for Jiang Xia to hit her on the neck... Oh, by the way, Jiang Xia threw a stick, maybe from an angle she couldn't see Extend the blow.

...Anyway, I just fainted for a while, without any sequelae, and it didn't delay the case.Although Miwako Sato still felt suspicious, she didn't ask further.

She turned to something else.

Miwako Sato glanced at Police Department Shiratori and Police Officer Takagi who were busy next to Masuo store manager, and pulled Jiang Xia away.

Then remind in a low voice:

"You should restrain yourself. Although it is not a bad thing to be jealous, it is illegal to beat a suspect——

"I accompanied the Mumu Police Department to the archives room this morning, and found that someone was accessing the case files related to you...Although I also think that some suspects are very worthy of beating, there are always policemen who will oppose this behavior. If you are arrested for this Treat it as an object to scare chickens and monkeys..."

"Retrieve the case files related to me?" Jiang Xia was startled, and then quickly remembered yesterday, the way Toru Amuro walked away thoughtfully after he finished talking about Yueying Island.

Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I see, pay attention next time."

"..." Miwako Sato's tone faltered.

... Although there is no problem with the attitude of admitting mistakes, but after hearing Jiang Xia say "next time" too much, she is already a little confused about the true meaning behind this guarantee.

I was debating whether to continue to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, so that Jiang Xia could really "pay attention next time".

But at this time, Shiratori Police Department and Takagi She had already seen her, and their eyes lit up at the same time: "Are you awake? Are you okay, what happened just now?"

Sato Miwako's thoughts were interrupted, and she was pulled back to reality in an instant.

She recalled that she didn't recognize Jiang Xia when chasing the "suspicious person" just now, and unfortunately overturned the car, she straightened out her curled hair in embarrassment: "The foot slipped and hit the wall, and I accidentally knocked unconscious."

"Oh." Gao Mushe touched the back of his head empathetically, and said in a low voice, "Be careful in the future. Well, how do you feel now, do you want to go to the hospital?"

Shiratori Police Department glanced silently and suspiciously at Jiang Xia next to Miwako Sato, feeling vaguely that the colleague he adores seemed to be covering someone who attacked the police, but he had no evidence...

In the end, Officer Shiratori could only routinely ask Jiang Xia why he was here.

Jiang Xia repeated the excuse he had just given to Conan, perfunctory.

Not long after, other police officers came to the scene one after another and began to collect evidence and deal with the follow-up.

Jiang Xia followed Officer Sato and the others, and first brought Masuo Store Manager to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Before getting into the car, he thought of something, and brought Mrs. Masuo's cat, which was left in the car, over - he climbed the wall just now, so he couldn't take it with him.

……

Arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, while waiting for the record, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Conan: "Why did you go to Masuo's house with Officer Sato and the others just now. Did you encounter a case before?"

Conan nodded.

After clicking, he keenly noticed that Jiang Xia moved his finger and unconsciously touched the stick hidden on his body.

Then the neighbor's tone was filled with slight regret and condemnation: "Why don't you call me if you have a case?"

Conan: "..."

He silently moved a step behind the chair, his voice became softer:

"It's just an ordinary robbery. The prisoner is a malnourished jobless youth, not suitable for you. Next time, if we encounter a…cough, if we encounter a very dangerous prisoner, we will definitely ask you for help."

Jiang Xia nodded, moved her hand away from the swinging stick, and turned to touch Mrs. Masuo's lively Siamese cat.

Touching it, I remembered one thing.

...Speaking of which, Mrs. Masuo is dead, and the store manager is about to go to jail. What about the cat?
