Conan's Corpse Picker

... They want to take the opportunity to escape and avoid investigating the case with Jiang Xia.

Too rigid about "being a good boy" may miss many important clues.In addition, aside from this point, for them, the pressure brought by Jiang Xia's vicinity is too strong in itself.

And now, brother Jiang Xia happened to have something to do, so they could take the opportunity to separate from him, and then attack bravely like a normal boy detective team.

Jiang Xia saw the troublesome light hidden in the three people's eyes, but she didn't mind and nodded.

He has been successfully involved in this case.Rather than keeping the Boy Detectives around, it is better to let them go out and develop their talents freely...

The two sides secretly reached an agreement.

Three figures quickly ran to the corner of the street, like three free birds.

……

Next to him, Hui Yuanai shrank instinctively when he heard the phrase "Boss".

In my impression, Jiang Xia told her that "Toru Amuro" was also a member of the organization.Moreover, Hui Yuanai had met Toru Amuro a few times before, although there was Jiang Xia's aura emanating from the side at that time, and the mixing was not obvious, but there was indeed that terrifying organizational aura in Toru Amuro.It scares her a little.

But after thinking about it, now I'm going to other stores to pick up the goods, not the detective agency with a lot of cameras...

Hui Yuanai hesitated for a moment, thinking of the curly-haired man in black who passed by her door last night, and this morning, he had been unconsciously looking out, worried that the man in black with strange motives would come again...

She didn't really want to go home, so she tentatively followed Jiang Xia.

Seeing that Jiang Xia glanced at her and didn't stop her, Hui Yuanai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

——If the situation is dangerous, Jiang Xia will definitely give her a warning in advance as before.Since Jiang Xia didn't say anything this time, it means that it should be safe to accompany him to pick up the things.

She was a little happy, ran two quick steps, and followed even more closely.

Conan didn't think too much about it. When he suddenly ran to Jiang Xia's house in the morning and asked Jiang Xia to help stir up the Valentine's Day social gathering, he found that Jiang Xia had changed his coat and was obviously ready to go out, as if he had something to do.Going to pick up things now, it happened to match what Jiang Xia was wearing in the morning.

The only thing Conan cares about is the "boss" in Jiang Xia's dialect.

Although Jiang Xia has worked in many places, but as far as Conan knows, except for the part-time job in the detective agency, the others are not the jobs that Jiang Xia found himself, but the Amuro Toru who loves part-time jobs sometimes can't leave, so that Jiang Xia went to the post.So the "boss" Jiang Xia mentioned should be referring to Amuro Toru...

Conan has always felt that something is wrong with Toru Amuro, but there has been no tangible evidence.

A while ago, this unscrupulous boss suddenly took Jiang Xia on a business trip, which made Conan's vigilance peak.In his impression, whether it is reality or fiction, there are many cases where two people go out together, and then one "died accidentally" in a different place... But this time, Jiang Xia came back smoothly, and did not call the police during the whole process Conan can only continue to maintain a skeptical wait-and-see attitude.

This time, he also quickly followed Jiang Xia.

Unlike Haibara Ai, Conan really hoped to meet that strange boss and observe him closely.

……

However, the three of them failed to reach the place where Jiang Xia picked up the package.

——While passing through a street, they "coincidentally" passed by a certain crime scene and heard the sound of a police siren.

Hearing this kind of movement suddenly, as a detective, it was hard not to keep a closer look.

Soon, they successfully deviated from their route, forgot what they wanted to fetch, and Xunsheng rushed to the gate of an old-fashioned house.

A cordon was drawn at the door, and some onlookers surrounded the outside.

Jiang Xia walked through the gap between them and walked to the place close to the gate. Looking in from the gate, there were houses with tile eaves on both sides of the yard, and a plaque was hung in the middle, with a few large characters written on it - "Young Master Pavilion".Through the door, you can see some menus nailed to the wall of the lobby.

——This is a specialty restaurant.

The police kept coming and going between the police car and the yard. In a corner of the yard, several people were busy.

When Jiang Xia was looking over there, the police officer who was busy asking questions turned his head and looked towards the door, just in time to meet his gaze.

Miwako Sato: "...Jiang Xia?"

She was a little surprised, and the pen that kept recording in her hand paused for a moment.

Soon, she whispered a few words to the police officer next to her, and then walked across the yard to the door.

Not long ago, Officer Sato received a message from the Megure Police Department that he had met Jiang Xia by chance.

Although the Mumu Police Department secretly stated that if she gets stuck in a bottleneck during the investigation, she can kidnap Jiang Xia who has returned from a business trip.

However, Miwako Sato lacked experience in picking up "brothers", and it was not so natural to use a detective. After receiving the news, she hesitated for a moment and decided to investigate it herself.

...Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia delivered it to her door by herself.

Miwako Sato struggled for a moment, and decisively decided to pull Jiangxia in to solve the case.

——Although she felt that the police should work hard on their own, they should have flexibly relied on the strength of professionals when conducting investigations.

In terms of solving crimes, Jiang Xia is obviously considered a "professional".

Chapter 751 Cosplay

With Sato Miwako, the leading police officer, Jiang Xia quickly entered the yard.

Before that, Conan sneaked in because of his low sense of existence at certain times.

Hui Yuanai was not with him, she looked left and right, and finally followed Jiang Xia through the cordon and sneaked into the scene.

Without the shelter of the courtyard wall, the scene in the courtyard is clearer.

This is a typical Japanese-style garden, dotted with rocks and dwarf trees, and a small but exquisite pool is built in the corner of the courtyard.

The three of them entered the yard, and after looking around, they instinctively looked towards the pool.

—there are the most policemen gathered there.

After approaching, there was no busy policeman blocking his view, and he could see a stiff corpse lying on his back in the pond.

The upper body of the corpse was stained with a large amount of blood, and the heart was the darkest, as if it had been stabbed.Judging from the place that was not soaked in blood, his shirt turned out to be a yellow-pink checked shirt.

yellow and pink...

"..." Hui Yuanai was startled, and immediately thought of the dead cat he picked up just now.If I remember correctly, the clothes fibers hanging on the cat's paws are exactly these two colors.

There are relatively few clothes in this color scheme... And if the dead person in front of him was among the people the cat met before it died, then this "cat beating incident" is somehow related to the murder case?

This kind of coincidence made Hui Yuan Ai a little surprised.

But she looked up at the detective next to her, and suddenly felt that this seemed very reasonable...

Ai Huihara stroked his chin, and while observing the corpse, he quietly walked up to the gods, recalling the locations of several famous shrines, and temples that he didn't visit often but had heard of the name: Maybe when he is free, he should find An excuse to take Jiang Xia along?

Although there is no such thing as "Kudo Shinichi's dead soul".But this kind of overly strong event physique always makes people think of weird things.If you can go to the exorcism place to go through the process, it will be reassuring...

……

"There is no murder weapon in the surrounding area. We are expanding the search area centered on this hotel, but so far, there is still no result."

Miwako Sato flipped through her notebook, and told Jiang Xia some information that might be useful, so that Jiang Xia could integrate and process these pieces of information as before, and then quickly output the truth.

——Officer Sato is already very proficient in this process of filling in information.In other words, the policemen who have been in contact with Jiang Xia are very skilled:

"Preliminary estimates show that the time of death was between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] midnight yesterday. The person who first discovered the body was the store manager Zenichi Akazawa. He usually lives in this restaurant. This morning, when he was about to open for business, he passed by the yard and accidentally Saw his employees floating in the pond."

Speaking of this, Miwako Sato deliberately glanced to the side.

Jiang Xia followed the line of sight she directed, and saw a man with gray hair.

The man looks about 60 years old, with an old-fashioned back hair and a well-made suit.Just looking at these words, he looks like a strict and serious old man.However, in fact, his suit was lined with a conspicuous pink shirt, which looked weird and a little funny.

This is the owner of this store, the first person to discover the body - Akazawa Zenichi.

Jiang Xia was looking at him. At this moment, there was a faint sound of chaotic footsteps and whispering noises from the other side of the house, as if many people were walking this way.

——The body fell in this restaurant, and the deceased happened to be an employee of the restaurant.

No matter how you look at it, the employees in this restaurant are more suspicious than others.

So just now, Miwako Sato asked the police to find the scattered employees.

Conan was originally observing the corpse.Hearing the noisy movement, he raised his head and glanced at the employees of "Young Master's Workshop" who walked to the side.

Originally, Conan just wanted to take a rough look to see the approximate number of people, and then continue to check the corpse by himself while listening to Jiang Xia's communication with the staff and looking for clues.

However, with a glance at the past, Conan stared at those employees, stunned in confusion.

Jiang Xia's eyes also fell on the people who came over, and stopped for a while.

The clothes of the employees look out of place with the normal modern city - kimono and old-fashioned western clothes are mixed, but a lot of fancy exaggerated elements are added.

Originally, the pink shirt of the old store manager Akazawa Zenichi was very eye-catching.

But now that these people came, the store manager perfectly integrated into it, and combined with the ancient-style buildings here, they were out of place, and instead became foreigners like them.

"..."

The strangely shaped employees stopped five or six meters away from the pond and were stopped by the police.

A few security-looking people with steel forks jumped over the police, looked into the blood-stained pool, and muttered, "Is Lao Yang killed?"

Next to him, a hot-blooded young man rolled up his sleeves exaggeratedly, and said angrily in a drama-like tone: "Which bastard did it?! For this kind of villain, even if God spares him, I will never forgive him!"

The old lady next to him was holding a handkerchief, and she wiped the corners of her eyes that were crying hard, and seemed moved to agree: "Young master has a strong sense of justice. Seeing your attitude, the old man's spirit in heaven must be able to rest."

"..." Hui Yuanai was also a little confused just now.

At this time, she suddenly heard a few familiar key words, and gradually understood: "..."Young Master"?"

Thinking about the big characters "Young Master Fang" hanging at the entrance of the hotel, Hui Yuanai immediately understood it completely, and said to Jiang Xia in a low voice: "...the name of the hotel means that."

Jiang Xia nodded, and pointed to a small wooden sign next to the pool: "This pond where the corpses are buried is also called 'San Si Lang Pond'."

"Sanshiro" and "Young Master" are both novels by Natsume Soseki.

Combined with the "nonsense" of the employees just now, the situation of this restaurant is relatively clear.

——It should be a Natsume Soseki-related theme hotel. Judging from the name of the hotel "Young Master Pavilion", the main project is the book "Young Master".And the costumes of the employees in the store correspond to the characters in "The Young Master".

The protagonist of "Young Master" is of course "Young Master".He has a righteous and impulsive personality. After graduation, the young master bid farewell to his kind mother-in-law, Qing, and went to a school in Shikoku to become a teacher.然而学校里乌烟瘴气，爱穿红衬衫的教导主任和他的狗腿，给了主角很多打击，小说最后，“少爷”和性格直爽的“豪猪”一起揍了一顿教导主任“红衬衫”和狗leg, angrily resigned and left.

As for the "old man" played by the deceased...he is a poor, unlucky and honest man who is submissive.

Chapter 752 Hui Yuan Ai Understands

In the story, Lao Yang has a beautiful fiancee "Madonna".

The teaching director "Red Shirt" took a fancy to her. In order to take Madonna away and keep it as his own for a long time, Red Shirt, together with the principal, transferred the old lady to a remote area to teach.

... At this time, it may be that he has acted for a long time and has been too deeply involved in the play.
