Conan's Corpse Picker

...Wait, he really said that.

Chapter 545 The Seal Is Released

Last night, when I met Rum in the self-selected restaurant, in order to prevent Jiang Xia, a good seed, from being taken away by the second-in-command of the evil organization, Toru Amuro reminded Jiang Xia to "be restrained" and not to show off too much.

In other words, it was actually just a one-time reminder.

… Who knows that Jiang Xia has been remembering until now, and has been "converging".

……

However, after thinking of this, Toru Amuro quickly understood.

——That's normal.

After all, Jiang Xia doesn't know Rum, and doesn't know the real reason for "restraint" last night.

Maybe at that time, Jiang Xia just thought that An Shitou was in a hurry to rush the task and didn't want to cause trouble on the road, so he reminded him like that.

……

After thinking it through, Toru Amuro raised his head.He and Jiang Xia looked at each other with slight doubts and no trace of sadness for a moment, and more than half of the romantic and tragic scene in his mind collapsed.

"..." Could it be that he was thinking too much, Jiang Xia actually didn't know Tian Suo Junya's younger sister, and this murder was just a coincidence?

...Well, to be on the safe side, I have to ask my subordinates to check the specific situation, such as whether there is any evidence that Jiang Xia and Tiansuo Kaori have been in contact, or conversely, there is no evidence that she has not been in contact with her.

Amuro made an extra note on the task list in his heart, planning to send this new task to his subordinates later.

After thinking briefly, he found an excuse to lift Jiang Xia's seal: "There are no reporters or police here now, just follow your usual habits to solve the case."

"it is good."

Jiang Xia nodded her head, she didn't seem to have any special ideas about whether to solve the case or not, whether to be restrained or not, he looks like a good-tempered subordinate... not like someone who secretly plotted to kill two people for a year Scum, by the way, the man behind the scenes who made a psychiatrist who he didn't like to go to jail.

While talking, Guntian Ikumi noticed the two people whispering beside her.

She observed for a while, although she couldn't hear what the two said clearly, she found that Jiang Xia was looking at Toshiya Tiansuo among the three suspects.

Gun Tian Yumei was taken aback for a moment, and said sharply: "Have you found the murderer?"

"Probably." Jiang Xia said, "Although there is no evidence yet, I probably know the trick."

As he spoke, he looked at the map on the table and pointed to the collection room:

"Snow marks show that no one has passed by on the roof or balcony. So at present, it seems that the murderer's sequence of actions is to first take out the cypress wooden peg from the storage room, and then carry it through the hall to the study. Kill in the study. After the dead, put a wooden nail into his heart...

"But in reality, the order may be reversed.

"For example, steal the real cypress wood nail first, and then put a fake one in the collection room. After showing us the collection room and making us think that the real 'cypress wood nail' is still in the collection room, find An excuse—such as delivering food, going into the study, taking out the real wooden nails that were hidden in advance, and using them to nail the corpse to the cross after killing someone.

"After that, as long as you find another excuse, such as checking whether the doors and windows are locked, and taking the opportunity to go to the storage room and dispose of the fake cypress wood nails, you can subtly reverse the action steps in the eyes of others and create a sense of 'the murderer is Steal the wooden nail first, then kill' the illusion, so as to clear yourself of suspicion."

... The most critical problem is solved, and the rest is not difficult to figure out.

Even though Amuro Toru walked away for a long time, he seamlessly followed his train of thought at this time: "The small piece of wood you asked me to take is a one-time device used to be stuck in the window lock—just now On the second floor, two parallel indentations could be seen on the rain shield of the window of the storage room. Now it seems that someone put the ladder across the storage room and corridor, climbed out of the window of the storage room, opened it and looked at it. Locked ventilation windows, with gardening tongs or something, swapped cypress dowels from there."

"Well." Jiang Xia nodded, "After the murderer finishes killing, he can leave the corridor normally. As for the secret room in the study, it was probably arranged by using the projector that was moved to the door—stretching the film and bypassing it If the clothes hanger sticks to the anti-lock twist piece, as long as the projector is turned on, the film will be pulled and recovered by the machine, and the door will be automatically locked...Put the deceased in the shape of a vampire being executed, and then use the projector to shine on the dead, and you will be able to Obscure the real purpose of moving the projector to the door and using it to create a secret room."

"..."

In the living room, everyone silently digested these sentences.Different from the question-and-answer and accompanying explanations that other detectives love to use, Jiang Xia's solution to the case is really like reading a script, and a series of concise techniques are poured into their ears.

... the listening experience is not very good.

Some people understand, while others are still confused.

But in short, no matter whether you understand the whole process or not, everyone has captured the key words.

——Although Jiang Xia never said who the murderer was from the beginning to the end, there were words such as "such as delivering food" and "such as checking the locked situation of doors and windows", combined with everyone's action trajectory tonight...

It seemed quite obvious who the murderer was.

A group of people looked at Toshiya Tasuo one after another with complicated expressions.

Jiang Xia also looked over.

...Unless Toshiya Tasho was so arrogant that he didn't wear gloves when committing the crime, otherwise, if he had a tougher mouth, then this case might be able to be fooled. ;Ladders and pruning pliers are also used by him, and it’s okay to take them out late at night to repair the roof, and the house is prone to problems in snowy days... In short, everything depends on his own desire to survive.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Tiansuo Junzai sneer, looked at Jiang Xia, and shook his head:

"You said one thing wrong.

"I made that man look like a vampire, not just to cover up the Chamber of Secrets, but because—he's an ugly, damned vampire!

"If it wasn't for him to prolong my ghostwriting time, he bought the attending doctor and told him to only perform conservative treatment...my sister wouldn't have died at all!"

Jiang Xia: "..." He is a straightforward person.

Just as he was thinking, it seemed that he had heard the words of confession, and the shikigami who was on Toshiya Tasho's calf fell faintly like a piece of paper that had completely lost his mind.

Jiang Xia: "..."

...Well, this is also a refreshing ghost.

Speaking of which, isn't it afraid that Toshiya Tasuo will meet an eloquent lawyer in the future and be released because of insufficient evidence?The tacit trust between the murderer and the deceased is really wonderful...

... Anyway, the shikigami was picked up.

As a passing psychic, Jiang Xia soon stopped thinking about it.

With the motion of warming his hands, he took the shikigami carried by the ghosts, and put the shikigami in his pocket.I plan to find a time when Toru Amuro doesn't stare at him to sign it, and then I can take the shikigami back to the tattoo space at will.

Chapter 546 Belmode: Jiang Xia lost contact?

Although there was a murder case, the murderer was not the kind of random murderer. A group of people slept peacefully in the guest room.

When he woke up the next day, Toshiya Tasho didn't take the opportunity to escape when he was clearly unattended. Instead, he stayed in the villa, cooked breakfast for the whole room, and waited calmly for the arrival of the police.

After the news that "the road has been repaired and the police will arrive soon" came through the phone, everyone in the house breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting rid of the state of being trapped in the haunted house, their minds became a little more relaxed, and some people's minds became active.

……

Jiang Xia went to the bathroom to sign Shikigami, and was stopped by editor-in-chief Doi on the way back.

The middle-aged man with a tall hairline wiped his sweat and looked around.

He failed to find Toru Amuro, who was hiding in a corner and suspiciously eavesdropping, thinking that there was no one around, so he began to report to Jiang Xia's own publishing house.

"Jiang Xia...Mr. Xiao." Doi always felt that facing this face, and at his age, it was a bit difficult to call Mr. directly, "Well, have you considered writing a book part-time? For example, based on the cases you have experienced. , adapted into unit stories one by one, and serialized in our magazine."

Jiang Xia thought about it, and felt that there were not too many events related to the novelist, and writing a book would take up a lot of time.If you have the time, why not get to know a few more novelists directly...

So I declined, "I have never written anything similar, and I don't have any creative talent, so forget it."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to write." Editor-in-Chief Doi would be wrong, feeling hopeful, so he whispered in a low voice, "Actually, I know a few suitable ghostwriters, as long as you are willing to publish the novel under your own name and make a little contribution. publicity……"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Ghostwriting...

He suspected that the editor-in-chief wanted to murder him, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

Editor-in-Chief Doi would like to say something else.

But halfway through the conversation, he suddenly felt a chill with an extremely strong presence.

He shivered, looked at Jiang Xia after a daze, and saw that Jiang Xia was looking at him carefully, as if trying to find something from him.

During the few seconds when Editor-in-Chief Doi didn't dare to move, the young detective walked back and forth on him several times with sharp and expectant eyes.

Then left disappointed.

Editor-in-Chief Doi who was left in place: "...?"

Although I don't know what happened, but... it seems that the persuasion failed?

……Ugh.

……

After a while, the police finally came to the villa along the clear road.

After the body and Toshiya Tiansho were picked up by the police, Sonoko Suzuki sighed as he looked at the passing vehicles.

Then, not wanting to affect other people's mood, he adjusted his state as soon as possible, turned his head to the side and smiled and asked Jiang Xia: "Xiaolan and I have made an appointment for a few days to check in at the Red Maple Leaf attraction, do you want to go together!"

Jiang Xia was very moved.

But he tangled between Suzuki Sonoko and Amuro Toru for a while, and then found that the boss at this time seemed a little more suspicious than on the way to Dracula's villa before - Amuro Toru didn't seem to intend to end his relationship Observation plan.Instead, the trip will be extended.

In other words, you can continue to squeeze for a while...

And Jiang Xia always felt that if he chose to follow Toru Amuro, then he might be able to have both.

——Amuro Toru secretly threw the dice behind his back. It was really very hidden. Even if Jiang Xia wanted to see it curiously, he never managed to see it.

But the ghosts, especially Matsuda Jinpei, who was observing Toru Amuro in doubt, paid special attention to the behavior of this old classmate.

So Jiang Xia soon found out about the dice and why they kept changing their routes frequently along the way.

Judging from the current results, Toru Amuro's dice is quite miraculous - it can always guide them to the owner of the event physique.Such as Conan and Maori father and daughter, such as the sisters of the Suzuki family...even such as Rum and Curacao.

And according to Suzuki Sonoko, she is going to hang out with Mao Lilan soon.At that time, Conan will definitely be cute and follow the past... These three people get together, and it may be obvious where Toru Amuro's dice will turn.

...Of course, if the dice really doesn't know how to lift it, you can also try to use puppet clay or ghosts to make a little trick to make it turn in the desired direction.

……

Thoughts flashed in Jiang Xia's mind, and she quickly made a decision.

He looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and regretfully declined the invitation: "We still have urgent orders to deal with."

"Oh..." Suzuki Sonoko was a little disappointed.Coupled with the tragedy of the Tiansuo brothers and sisters last night, she didn't ask any more questions for a while, and waved to Jiang Xia listlessly, and got into the car sent by Suzuki's family to pick them up.

Jiang Xia also waved her hand, thinking to herself: See you at the scenic spots in a few days.

……

Next to him, Toru Amuro knew nothing about what happened to him and Dice next.

He declined the request to go to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters to make a statement, and briefly made a statement with Jiang Xia in the vampire villa, and then left quickly and quietly.
