Conan's Corpse Picker

As she spoke, she pushed open the window in the corridor on the second floor, and simultaneously completed the second half of the sentence: "—Go to the study."

As the windows were opened, under the moonlight, the long roof with a slight slope appeared in front of everyone.One end of it is connected to this side, and the other end is connected to Torakura Daisuke's study room. The bricks and tiles are evenly covered with pure white snow that has not been stepped on, and there are no footprints on the snow.

——No one passed by here.

Gundam Ikumi: "..."

She stared out the window in silence for a moment, then raised her hand as if nothing had happened, and closed the window again.

…It is the basic operation of a detective to put forward hypotheses and verify them one by one.Of course it's good if the reasoning is right, but if it's wrong...it's wrong if it's wrong, it's just a hypothesis, there's no shame in it.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the corridor, remembered something, and whispered, "The murderer probably didn't pass through the roof——When Mr. Hamura went to the library, I stayed in the corridor on the second floor, and no one passed by here."

Guntian Yumei was startled, and looked at her suspiciously: "What have you been doing in the corridor on the second floor?"

Suzuki Sonoko blushed: "...Look, look at the scenery! This place is higher than the first floor, and the scenery is better than the one below."

"..." In other words, another person without an alibi.

Gunida Ikumi started to stare at her suspiciously.

However, looking at Suzuki Sonoko's slender arms and legs, I always feel that it is difficult for her to carry a grown man like Daisuke Torakura, let alone tie him to a cross.

So a few seconds later, Guntian Ikumi hesitated to look away from Suzuki Sonoko, and looked at Jiang Xia again—I heard from colleagues that this high school student detective solved the case as fast as reading a script. action?

Is this case particularly difficult?Or, is there some indispensable key clue they haven't found yet?

... Then she guessed wrong just now, which is really normal.Guntian Yumi pinned her slightly curly hair behind her ears, and nodded secretly inwardly, feeling a lot more relieved.

At the same time, he decided to rest his mind and continue reasoning—to make bold assumptions and carefully verify, so that he could walk a path to the truth in an impossible crime.

She looked at the window slowly, then pushed it open again, observing the eaves outside.

——Not only on the roof of this section of the corridor, but further away, even the top of the study room, no footprints can be seen.

In other words, the prisoner should never have been on the roof.In addition, the door of the study room was locked, and the only key was on Daisuke Torakura; the location of the floor-to-ceiling windows was close to the cliff.When she was in the study just now, she checked carefully—not only was the cliff bottomless, but the protruding parts were also covered with snowflakes, and there were no signs of being climbed.

All roads are dead... The murderer can't possibly fly over like a vampire.

The reasoning was momentarily stuck.

Guntian Ikumi had no choice but to change her mind—start with motivation.

She still felt that, judging from the timing, only Shuichi Hamura could commit the crime: "Speaking of..." She suddenly looked at Shuichi Hamura, "You and Mrs. Hukura are a couple, right?"

"?!"

Etsuko Torakura's heart missed a beat, and she nervously grabbed Hamura Shuuichi's arm.

Just now, she heard Jiang Xia's boss talk about a lot of knowledge that sounded very useful.Just tried to digest a part of it, and felt that her concealment ability had improved, but it didn't take long before she was exposed... Etsuko Torakura subconsciously glanced at Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro looked to the other side, ignoring her.

... He remembered that when he entered Daisuke Torakura's study just now and saw the terrible corpse, Etsuko Torakura instinctively ran to Shuichi Hamura and grabbed his arm instead of asking for help from Toshiya Tanasho who was close by. ...Normal people can see that something is wrong, not to mention a detective like Guntian Ikumi who is not confused, the blame will never fall on him anyway...

Next to him, Etsuko Torakura panicked for a while, then slowly calmed down: By the way, Daisuke Torakura is dead.It doesn't seem to matter to be guessed cheating now... Wait, speaking of this, who is the murderer?Could it really be Xiuyi...

Hamura Shuichi is still retorting:

"No matter what relationship I have with Etsuko, I am not the murderer who killed Daisuke Torakura. If you are looking for a motive, then you should actually look at someone else—such as Editor-in-Chief Doi."

As he spoke, he looked at the editor next to him who was sweating on his forehead:

"I heard a rumor in college that the content of the novels submitted to the "Horror Times Weekly" will be embezzled by Daisuke Torakura. It's just that those embezzlements are quite clever, and their manuscripts have not yet been published. Cang Daisuke made a mistake..."

As Hamura Shuichi's eyes fell on Doi's editor-in-chief's luggage, Doi began to sweat even more.

——At this time, what Doi’s editor-in-chief packed was indeed those original manuscripts.It was Daisuke Hukura who plagiarized it, and he was going to take it back

Although Daisuke Torakura has not published vampire novels in recent years, he is still writing them in private.So right now, Daisuke Hukura's computer is probably storing fresh evidence of plagiarism.

Editor-in-chief Doi always felt that if he refused to admit it at this time, he would hide the news.The crime of murder might fall on him...

... must find someone more suspicious!

Thinking of this, editor-in-chief Doi also decisively pulled people into the water:

"To tell you the truth, Daisuke Hucang actually ran out of money a long time ago. Seven years ago, I failed to invest in stocks and owed a large amount of debt. Hu Cang paid it off for me, but he asked me to hand over the manuscript I received to him first. Looking past..."

Speaking of this, editor-in-chief Doi felt that everyone was looking at him more and more wrongly, and realized that his motive for killing seemed to be sufficient.

So I quickly introduced the main topic: "This is not the point! The point is that five years ago, I thought it was not an option to let him copy it like this, so I recommended him a ghostwriter——Tasuo! The novels published by Daisuke Torakura in recent years, In fact, they are all Tian Suo's works, and he has more motives than me!"

Chapter 544 The Psychiatrist Doesn’t Want To Be Whipped Anymore

Toshiya Tasuo was stunned, and hastily retorted:

"I am a ghostwriter voluntarily, and I am not coerced by the teacher like you and your wife. And the teacher is my benefactor-my sister has serious kidney problems since she was a child, and her parents want her to fend for herself. Teacher Hu Cang paid for it With treatment, she can survive..."

Beside him, Toru Amuro folded his arms, watching the blame game, wondering who the murderer was.

At this moment, his phone vibrated suddenly.

The roads are blocked in snowy weather, but the signal is not completely blocked, and the mail can still be sent.

Toru Amuro took two steps to the side and checked his phone.

——Because the road was blocked, at this time, the public security officers who could not come to Mr. Jiang Gu's side could only wait outside.

They have a devil boss, they don't dare to fish in the water just because the boss is not around, and they are idle when they are idle, so they simply searched all the information that can be checked.

Then suddenly an incredible discovery was made.

The email reads:

[In "Dracula's Villa", there is a person actually related to Jiang Xia. 】

Seeing this, Toru Amuro snorted coldly in his heart, there was more than one person - besides himself, there were Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Ayako who met on the road, and Torakura Etsuko who met in the villa, and even someone who was accidentally killed by Torakura. Daisuke's detective neighbor Ikumi Gunta...

At least half of the people in this villa are related to Jiang Xia.

Originally thought that the subordinates were perfunctory with known information, pretending that they were working hard,

But looking down, Toru Amuro's eyes gradually became serious - this time, the subordinates did not perfunctory, but took the information of Etsuko Torakura into their minds, and limited the investigators to the "Dracula Villa" "The information obtained after the resident personnel——

【Tasuo Toshihiko, a student of Daisuke Torakura, has a younger sister named Kaori Tasuo.Five years ago, Kaori Tanasho began to receive treatment at the Yakushino Hospital in Tokyo. The attending doctor was Nishinoho.Judging from the medical records, Kaori Tasho's condition is not complicated. As long as the method is appropriate and there is sufficient financial support, it can be cured in one to two years.

[However, half a year after receiving the treatment, when Daisuke Torakura went to Tokyo to hold a signing event, he had contact with that Dr. Nino.Afterwards, Kaori Tasho's treatment plan changed and became extremely conservative.

[The final result is that Kaori Tanasho passed away a year ago.Half a month later, her attending doctor Nishinoho died of "suicide"—it wasn't until Fudo Kyosuke was arrested a while ago that he confessed that Nishinoho was killed by him and pretended to commit suicide. 】

Toru Amuro read it quickly, his eyes stopped on a few very familiar words, and he couldn't move away.

... Pharmacist Field Hospital.

... Kyosuke Fudo.

Since Jiang Xia tried to sneak into his office to work, for the sake of safety, Toru Amuro has conducted many investigations.

Seeing these words, he instantly understood the connection between Tiansuo Kaori and Jiang Xia.

——A year ago, Jiang Xia was also hospitalized in this hospital.And his attending doctor was none other than Fudo Kyosuke, the murderer who killed Tasho Kaori's attending doctor.

A while ago, Fudo Kyosuke was arrested because he shot and killed the police in the street, and then when he fled the scene, he was caught on the spot by Jiang Xia who happened to pass by.

... From the situation in the attachment, Kaori Tasho seems to be a gentle and lovely girl.

After her death, her attending physician, Daisuke Hukura, died unexpectedly one after another... If she met Jiang Xia while wandering in the hospital during her lifetime, and during her hospitalization, and the two of them formed a bond that is difficult for outsiders to discover, then Jiang Xia's motives are sufficient up...

Speaking of which, why didn't Jiang Xia solve the case today?

Judging from the current situation, Toshiya Tasho, Hideichi Hamura, and Doi are the editor-in-chiefs.

Among the three suspects, the most suspicious one is Toshiya Tasuo.

——In order to treat Kaori Tasho, he gave up the opportunity to become famous, and came to work as a shadow writer for Daisuke Torakura, and even took care of the housework of the Torakura family, acting like a servant.

And now, Kaori Tasho has passed away for a year, it's hard to imagine that a brother like Toshiya Tasho can't find the abnormality.

But when he explained his motive just now, Toshiya Tasho didn't say this, he only said that Daisuke Torakura was a benefactor.In order to hide possible murder motives.

... Today there were no explosions, car accidents, etc., which made Jiang Xia fall into a ptsd that he couldn't think about.

Although Jiang Xia's mind wandered occasionally, it seemed that it was just a normal mind-wandering after late at night, the kind that would return to normal after a push.

Under such a normal thinking situation, Jiang Xia has been procrastinating until now and hasn't opened his mouth. Is it because he really can't find all the clues, or... he really doesn't want to find out the real culprit?

If it's the latter, then Jiang Xia doesn't want to find out the real culprit, is it because he simply can't bear to expose his brother who is sick, or is it actually planned by him himself?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro looked slightly solemn.

... The only comforting thing is that today, I stared at Jiang Xia the whole time, at least Jiang Xia himself, absolutely has no time to commit crimes.

……

Maybe it was just infected by the bloody forced marriage story.

After Toru Amuro read the email sent by his subordinate, in an instant, scenes flashed through his mind.

He thought of the small yard in the inpatient department of Yaoshiye Hospital, but it had a good view and was very suitable as the background of a romantic story; he thought of the two young people who met in the falling leaves—one wanted to live, but his physical condition It makes it difficult for her to live, the other body is fine, but she wants to die... Even in the story, this seems to be an embarrassing encounter.

Afterwards, Kaori Tanasho with a white cloth covering her face, and the two "murderers" who indirectly caused her death and have fallen into hell now...

There is also Fudo Kyosuke-he was Jiang Xia's attending doctor for a while, and he was also the one who killed Tiansuo Kaori's attending doctor.

When a psychiatrist comforts a patient, it is unavoidable to be influenced by the patient in turn. Therefore, the probability of psychological problems in this group is not low... If Jiang Xia is really the "Uzo" in the organization, then this series of coincidences People can't think of it as a coincidence, can it really be a coincidence...

Toru Amuro was so troubled by his own thoughts that he began to rub the dice in his pocket again.

After 1 minute, he slowly straightened out his thoughts, put away his mobile phone, and returned to the crowd who blamed each other.

Then he asked Jiang Xia nonchalantly in a low voice: "Have you still not been able to find any clues related to the murderer? I have no idea yet... The prisoner this time is really cunning."

Jiang Xia looked back at him, a little surprised.

Then he also whispered to him: "The murderer should be Mr. Tian Suo."

"...?"

This is not the same as the script he thought.

Toru Amuro was taken aback: "...you know the murderer, why didn't you solve the case?"

Jiang Xia was also taken aback: "Didn't you tell me to restrain myself..."

"?" Toru Amuro was puzzled, "When will I...?!"
