Conan's Corpse Picker

After discovering the body of "Lao Yang" in the pool.

The straightforward "Porcupine" stroked his unshaven chin, frowned and looked at the store manager, and said sadly, "Red Shirt, you finally attacked the old man because of Madonna."

The beautiful woman playing Madonna was startled, and covered her face unacceptably: "How could this be..."

"..." The store manager is the store manager after all, he was the first to become normal, he straightened his collar and sighed, "What are you thinking, I won't do such despicable things."

There was a sound of a folding fan opening.The lean man in the red shirt who acted as the dog's leg waved his fan and echoed in seconds: "That's right. Mr. Store Manager wouldn't do such despicable things."

The person playing the role of the fat principal twirled his mustache and pulled them away: "Okay, okay, we are all from our own family, how can we doubt each other."

Officer Sato: "..."

Her forehead twitched, the fists beside her made a clicking sound, and she tried to maintain a smile: "Everyone, this is not the time for acting... first, let's go into the lobby and tell us about your relationship with the deceased. If you have any other clues, please provide them." give me."

With a group of employees, she found a nearby room and went in to inquire.

Conan instinctively slipped over to eavesdrop.

Hui Yuanai looked at the door of that room, then looked at Jiang Xia, stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Jiang Xia's clothes.

After Jiang Xia skillfully squatted down and shortened the distance between the two, she leaned over and whispered: "Aren't you going to tell Officer Sato about the cat?"

... If the yellow-pink fibers on the cat's paws were indeed on the shirt of the deceased 'Lao Yang'.That means that the first scene of the murder is probably not this strange hotel, but the park where they picked up the cat's corpse before.

This made Hui Yuan Ai a little confused - this was obviously an important clue.She can think of this kind of thing, Jiang Xia must also understand, but now, Jiang Xia, who has always cooperated happily with the police, has deliberately concealed the clues.

This made Huiyuan Ai instinctively tense up, and began to wonder if this meant that the case this time was both related to the organization.After all, apart from this reason, she couldn't think of why Jiang Xia was suddenly passive in solving the case.

Jiang Xia's eyes flicked, and he withdrew his gaze from the employee, admiring the murderous intent, remembering that he really forgot to say it.

... Fortunately, this is not a big deal.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, let's look for clues first, it will be more convenient to talk together at that time. And the less clues the police have, the easier it is for the murderer to relax his vigilance, maybe when he doesn't even know Show flaws."

"That's it..." Hui Yuanai nodded comprehensibly.These cops are indeed unreliable when it comes to solving crimes.I was too impatient just now, when dealing with the police in the future, I need to learn more from Jiang Xia...

……

Jiang Xia walked around the yard, inspected the corpse again, and stopped briefly at various places where there might be clues.

Demonstrate the steps of "collecting clues" to the onlookers, so that they can explain their relevant intelligence sources in the future.

Jiang Xia walked into the hotel gate and found the lobby.

——It was a place temporarily borrowed by the police to question witnesses.

At this point, the basic inquiry has been completed.After being questioned by the police, several familiar employees finally lost the relaxed atmosphere of acting just now, and were gathering together, muttering something in a low voice.

Beside, Miwako Sato flipped through the new information collected, looked up after reading it, and just saw Jiang Xia enter the room.

So she walked over naturally, and consciously added information to Jiang Xia, starting with the relatively important ones:

"At present, it seems that the store manager is the most suspicious. Not only does he usually live in the store, he is also the first person to discover the body.

"The most important thing is that it's not just a drama. In reality, he and the dead man who plays 'Lao Yang' are equally rivals in love—they both like Chiaki Toyama who plays 'Madonna'."

The store manager is a normal person.He obviously also realized his situation from the inquiry just now.

Because Officer Sato subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xia while speaking to Jiang Xia in a low voice, the store manager was keenly aware of the clue.

He hastily waved his hands, defending himself: "Lao Yang is the backbone of personnel here, how could I kill him and cut off his arm?"

However, this explanation sounds pale and feeble - the people in Tokyo here have more or less seen some murder cases, and they know that such words are completely powerless to prove their innocence.

But Jiang Xia quite believed in him.

He glanced at the store manager's clean calf, then looked away dully and turned to the other employees.

Conan caught the clue of "rival in love" and was ready to move.

He looked around carefully, and felt that there was no one who seemed to be a member of the black organization—not counting Hui Yuan Ai, she had already defected.

So Conan carefully released a little detective nature.

He turned to the conflict between Madonna, the deceased, and the store manager: "Sister Madonna, do you have any clue about the relationship between them? For example, when you are very close to one of them, the expression of the other..."

Madonna thought hard.She shook her head, and nodded again quickly, a little sad and a little confused:

"Yes, but because 'Lao Yang' and 'Red Shirt' are rivals in love in "Young Master", so I thought they were just putting on a show in front of clients, or they were too involved in the show—"Lao Yang" is usually very friendly to us. Strict, often warns us that if we want to play a role well, we must put our whole heart into it. So even if the client is away, we will maintain the identity of the actors in the play. I didn't expect..."

Maybe it was because she felt that the death of "Lao Yang" might have something to do with her, so she didn't say any more, sighed, and left with a sad expression.

Now that the inquiry has been completed, besides Madonna, many employees have left here just now.

After the remaining backbones left together, Miwako Sato closed the door and sighed.

She handed Jiang Xia the record from the inquiry just now:

"Things are a bit troublesome... Although the conflict between the store manager and the old man is indeed quite prominent. But after a closer look, except for the store manager, all the actors here have a bad evaluation of the deceased. In other words, they all have motives .

"—In the novel, Lao Yang is an honest person who accepts everything, doesn't know how to refuse, and even helps count money when he is tricked.

"But in reality, the deceased was very strict with the employees. He is usually responsible for instructing the employees' acting skills and has the right to fire them."

Chapter 753 Hidden Boss

"In addition, in fact, except for the dead old man, the real characters of other people are completely different from the characters they played, or even the opposite-although "Red Shirt" is a villain, but playing his store manager is usually very different. For the sake of employees; the protagonist 'Master' who should be righteous is actually a gangster with no ambition; 'Madonna' looks weak, but she was actually a former wrestler..."

Miwako Sato thought of the group of people with eccentric personalities and great contrasts, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead speechlessly, and then continued after a while: "Fortunately, after the investigation, only three people lack alibi..."

Speaking of this, the walkie-talkie on her body suddenly rang.

Officer Sato listened carefully to the words inside, and after responding, he looked at Jiang Xia: "The detailed autopsy results have come out, I have to go and have a look first, and I will ask the three people without alibi separately later."

With that said, this informal policewoman looked at Jiang Xia and quickly made a decision: "If you are interested in this case, you can go over and ask yourself in advance. Although this violates the relevant regulations of on-site investigation, I can Pretend you didn't see it."...Anyway, the Mumu Police Department has done this kind of thing more than once.

Miwako Sato nodded secretly, feeling ok in her heart.

……

Although the case happened late at night, among the dozen or so hotel employees, there were only three of them without an alibi.

All three were bachelors living alone.

——"Young Master", "Dogleg", and the end of "Young Master", together with the young master, he beat up the villain's righteous "Porcupine".

Before, when they passed by the entrance of this restaurant, Jiang Xia could already smell the murderous smell of the scent of perfume through the courtyard wall.

——It's in this shop called "Young Master Pavilion".

Moreover, according to the movement of the red dot on the transmitter, the driving route of the perfume driver happened to pass by this store.

Combining the events before and after, Jiang Xia quickly sorted out the general situation:

Last night, the murderer who smelled of perfume killed "Lao Yang" and killed the innocent Lumao in that park.Since the cat did not die on the spot, but escaped with serious injuries, the murderer ignored it and hurriedly transferred the body into the store and threw it into the pond.

This morning, the murderer slipped back to the park where he committed the crime, watching the situation, and happened to be seen by the brats who were catching fish in the park.Then when the murderer fled the scene, he passed by Jiang Xia who was looking for him following his murderous intent.In the end, the murderer hid the car, returned to the store, and sneaked into the employees as if nothing had happened.

……

Just now, when the waiters appeared on the stage with blinding dog eyes, Jiang Xia didn't find them annoying.

Because he successfully found the murderer among this group of messy people.

——The high-end murderous smell of the perfume still lingers firmly around the murderer at this time.And looking at it this way, Jiang Xia discovered that there was a fresh shikigami hanging on the murderer's leg, which should have been transformed from the "old seedling" in the pool... The combination of various circumstances shows that the case is not over yet, except for the dead " Lao Yang", the murderer has other people who want to kill.

However, if the murderer succeeds in killing someone, those high-end murderous auras that are stronger than the six regiments will naturally be lost and cannot be retrieved for use.

It is rare for someone other than an organized cadre to produce this kind of murderous intent...

While struggling, Jiang Xia had already arrived at the door of the box.

According to the request of Officer Sato, the three suspects entered different rooms and waited for more detailed questioning.

Jiang Xia regained her senses, stretched out her hand like opening a blind box, and pushed open a door nearby.

Conan and Hui Yuanai poked their heads out from behind him, and the people in the room just looked up - a skinny man in a loose kimono, holding a white folding fan in his hand, following them impatiently. Look at each other.

The person in this room is Gozo Yoshikawa, who plays the villain "dogleg".

Entered the house, closed the door, and sat across from the suspect.

"Dogleg" looked Jiang Xia up and down, and seemed to recognize that he was a detective.But at the same time, he was very dissatisfied with the police's suspicion of his behavior.

Yoshikawa Gozo flicked his fan, and asked in a strange way: "What do you want to ask?"

"..." Jiang Xia actually didn't want to ask anything.

But now, after all, he was collecting clues, so he couldn't just turn around and leave, so he had to think about the problem perfunctorily.

Next to him, Haibara saw that Jiang Xia didn't speak for a short while, thinking that he had noticed Gozo Yoshikawa's unfriendly attitude.

She thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell us something about 'Lao Yang'?"

Originally, when they came this time, they should focus on observing the conflict between the "old man" and the "dog leg".

But Hui Yuanai was worried that if he asked too directly, the "dog legs" would become alert and conceal something.

So she turned a corner when she asked the question - through one person's evaluation of another, in fact, the real relationship between them can be vaguely seen.

When Gozo Yoshikawa heard this question, he waved his fan and was silent for a moment.

He looked quietly at the sky outside the window, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "I used to have a gentle and lovely wife. But one day, she suddenly left without saying goodbye. I searched for her anxiously for a long time... until a few days later, I chased her The debtor came to me, and I realized that she ran away to avoid the debt, and left me with a large debt."

"..." Conan held back, but couldn't hold back, time is limited, and this kind of sad story is very long, "Well, we actually want to ask..."

"She is a good woman. I firmly believe that she will come back after I pay off the debt. So I came here to work to earn money." Cut to the point in just a few sentences.

He sighed and said, "The salary here is high, and the boss is also good. But the old guy in charge of personnel affairs assigned me the role of 'dog leg', and always scolded me for not acting well, saying that I didn't pay enough attention..."

While talking, Yoshikawa Gozo suddenly took a deep breath, his expression became ferocious at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He suddenly changed from sitting cross-legged to half-kneeling. Amidst the shocked expressions of the three people opposite him, he punched the ground, just like those unwilling prisoners in the past, punching the ground to vent their anger.

...But the difference is that those prisoners, at most, just made some noise.

But Yoshikawa Gozo's punch pierced through the solid wooden floor.

His roar exploded with a terrifying crackling sound: "Of course I can't play this kind of obscene 'dogleg'! Who would really take on such a despicable role! Is it mine to look like a dogleg? Wrong?! Damn it!"

On the opposite side, Jiang Xia stretched out his hand in a blurry motion, and slapped away the splattered fragments that almost hit Hui Yuanai's face.

Then he dragged the frightened Zhan Wuzang on one left and one on the right, retreated to the door, and closed the door politely: "I have a general understanding of the situation...then we will leave first, goodbye!"
