Conan's Corpse Picker

the next day.

Jiang Xia originally wanted to continue last night's plan - go to Maruden Jiro's house, that is, the house of the unscrupulous creditor who secretly sold collateral to see the situation.

However, the office still had a few customers who made appointments, so Jiang Xia could only go to work for another day.

In the afternoon, after Jiang Xia returned the two newly found cats to the owner, he closed the door and left the office.

……

He followed the address on Maruden Jiro's business card and searched all the way there.Finally came to a single house with a yard.

——This is the home of the creditor Maruden Jiro.

"..." The yard is quite big.

Although Maruden Jiro is a rich man, like most people in this world, he didn't install surveillance cameras in his yard, and he didn't hire security guards. The difficulty of breaking in is as low as walking.

Jiang Xia first went around to the nearby hill and overlooked the layout of the yard.

After memorizing the location, he put on his hat, mask, etc., climbed over the wall lightly, and went straight to the warehouse on the side.

With this level of security force, there is no need to use puppets.

— Now he is a psychic who wants to raise two ghosts.The recovery of Miyano Akemi's new skills is also linked to murderous aura, so it can be saved or saved...

……

Jiang Xia went into the warehouse, compared the pottery photos given to him by the client, and successfully found the target on the shelf.

This pottery is a three-layer hollow structure.Jiang Xia opened it from the middle and threw in a black technology transmitter.

After the transmitter is fully charged, it can be used for nearly forty hours.

Once the pottery is sold, Jiang Xia will be able to find out immediately, and then he can notify the client as agreed.

Next, he only needs to come over every two days to change the transmitter, and he can always know the location of the porcelain.

……

after a few days.

When the signal sent by the receiver starts intermittent again due to insufficient power.

Jiang Xia came to Maruden Jiro's house again, planning to replace the transmitter.

He went around the wall familiarly, pulled up the hood, put on the mask and gloves, and jumped up to scratch the hospital wall.

As soon as I poked my head out, I suddenly saw a man and a woman walking out of the side room of the Maru family—both familiar police officers, Tsutomu Takagi, and Miwako Sato.

Among them, Officer Sato happened to glance at the wall, and Leng Buding and Jiang Xia met their gazes.

However, because of the cover of the hood, to be precise, this "look at each other" was one-sided.

——Jiang Xia saw Officer Sato's eyes.

And Miwako Sato...

All she could see was the outline of the eyes in shadow.

Officer Sato was taken aback for a moment, and shouted: "Who's there?!"

As she spoke, she rushed over quickly.

As soon as the policewoman made a sound, several strong men ran out of the room. Jiang Xia glanced and found that they were all policemen.

Jiang Xia: "..."

It's like when you were late, you climbed over the wall to enter the school, and just as you climbed the top of the wall, you saw a temporary teachers' meeting under the wall. This...

Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed, let go and fell down.

Through the wall, Officer Sato could be heard shouting "Stop!".

Jiang Xia thought for a while and stopped.

Illegal entry is illegal.But in this world, such behavior is rarely pursued, especially if the perpetrator is a detective.

In addition, strictly speaking, Jiang Xia has not entered the house today.

He just scratched the top of the wall illegally.

There is really no need to stage a sudden passionate chase with the police like a psycho killer.

……

However, people's ideas are sometimes not the same.

Miwako Sato in the yard obviously didn't expect that the suspicious person really stopped running after she just yelled "stop".

So, when Jiang Xia "stopped" at the base of the wall.

A shadow suddenly passed over his head.

"?"

Jiang Xia was startled, raised her head, and saw Officer Sato flipping over the wall lightly, then without looking sideways, she swished over Jiang Xia like a hurdle, and landed four or five meters away gracefully.

Immediately afterwards, without stopping for half a second, he rushed out along the street.

"That..." Jiang Xia raised his hand towards her, trying to call her to stop.But as soon as the sound was made, the person had already run away.

Jiang Xia looked at the overly vigorous figure: "..."

At this time, a few small particles of earth and rock fell on the wall next to it.

Jiang Xia raised her head silently.

This time, he saw another subordinate of the Megure Police Department - Gao Muwa.

Officer Takagi struggled to climb up the wall and was about to jump down.

However, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the "suspicious person" blocking his face did not run away, but was standing at the base of the wall, watching him climb over the wall with his head up.

Officer Takagi was taken aback.

The two of them went up and down and stared at each other wordlessly for nearly half a minute.

After a while, Gao Mushe asked hesitantly, "...what are you doing standing here?"

The "suspicious person" also replied hesitantly: "Didn't you tell me to 'stop'?"

Officer Takagi: "..." Indeed...

No, he actually wanted to ask, why did the suspicious personnel hack the walls of other people's houses.

However, the "suspicious person" didn't run away anyway, and his attitude was quite good, so we can wait until later.

The most urgent thing is to call back Police Officer Sato who has rushed somewhere...

Takagi sat on the wall, took out his mobile phone, and dialed his beloved Sato-senpai.

……

5 minute later.

In the courtyard of Maruden Jiro's house.

Jiang Xia and Miwako Sato walked in one after another.

Besides the police, Jiang Xia Weidai was pleasantly surprised to find that there were several acquaintances here - Mao Lilan, Mao Li Kogoro, and Conan.

……

There are different reasons why several waves of people appear here.

The commission Jiang Xia received was to help the client's wife keep a close eye on Maruden Jiro to prevent this unscrupulous creditor from selling off the collateral in advance.

And Mori Kogoro also received a commission from Maruden Jiro himself—Maruden Jiro suspected that his wife had cheated, and asked Mori Kogoro to find evidence.

The police are here not because of a commission, but because Maruden Jiro is dead.

Just this afternoon.

……

Of course, considering my commission, the element of "illegal entry" is included.Jiang Xia didn't tell the truth immediately.

He made an excuse casually: "I was passing by just now, and I heard noises from here, and saw a police car outside, so I went up to the wall to look curiously."

Miwako Sato was dubious: "Then why are you covering your face?"

Jiang Xia pulled up the mask, and pulled down the brim of the hat, like a vampire scalded by the sun, sighed: "Allergic to the sun."

Officer Sato: "...?"

She thought Jiang Xia was bluffing her.

But after thinking about it for a while, Miwako Sato suddenly realized that every time she saw Jiang Xia, it was either at night, indoors, or indoors at night... In short, she had never seen Jiang Xia basking in the sun.

……

Next to him, Conan watched the conversation between the two with a pair of dead fish eyes, hesitating to speak.

He used to go to the doctor's house to play, and when he stood on the balcony overlooking Mihua Town, he often saw Jiang Xia carrying a recliner and spreading it out next door to bask in the sun.

But in the end, Conan still didn't expose it.

——According to his judgment, Jiang Xia should not be the murderer.

When Conan was playing in the yard just now, he actually saw the murderer's feet from under the bushes.

The man was wearing very serious trousers and leather shoes.It's completely different from Jiang Xia's dress.

Moreover, Jiang Xia is a detective, so he would never do such a self-inflicted behavior of "killing someone and can't help but go back to the scene to see".

……

Although Officer Sato still has some doubts.

But at this time, the crime scene was in the hut.

The Megure Police Department finally had enough of Kogoro Mori's shocking reasoning.

He pushed open the sliding door with a big head, and looked over here.Then he beckoned Xiaopang to Jiang Xia, implying expectation.

——The Mumu Police Department also heard about Jiang Xia climbing the wall, and knew that he was suspicious.

But suspicious is suspicious, and this does not conflict with listening to Jiang Xia's reasoning.
