Conan's Corpse Picker

……

Miwako Sato didn't pay attention at first.

When the scene was dealt with and a few guards were left behind, the others were ready to take the team back to the police station.

She came to the parking place, and as soon as she opened the door, she suddenly heard the door on the passenger seat also being opened.

Sato was startled, and looked over there quickly, and found that Jiang Xia nodded to her, then got into her car naturally, and closed the door.

"...?"

Miwako Sato was a little confused at first—suddenly found that Jiang Xia stayed here and did not leave.She subconsciously thought that Jiang Xia failed to solve the case quickly and was not reconciled, and wanted to stay and continue to search for clues, but inadvertently delayed until she got off work at the same time as them.

But soon, she suddenly thought of another possibility.

Miwako Sato looked around and got into the car as well.

The door on the back seat of the car also clicked, slipped up and pretended to be two children, and closed it again.

Police Officer Sato saw Conan and Haibara Ai from the rearview mirror, and didn't care about the behavior of the three of them rubbing against the car.

She turned to Jiang Xia, with a flash of inspiration in her heart: "Have you found the murderer?"

Jiang Xia said "hmm": "I have a general idea, but I haven't started looking for evidence yet - the murder happened last night, and there is more time to clean up the scene. In fact, this morning, the murderer may have taken time to return to the real scene. The subject site has been further cleaned up. Of course we need to find physical evidence now, but it may be more troublesome, so... why not set up a trap tonight and let the murderer jump in by himself."

"The real subject scene..." Miwako Sato was taken aback, "That is to say, this is not the real crime scene, and the corpse was moved here later?"

Chapter 756

"The place where the case happened may be the wetland park in Nanyuan Town." Jiang Xia nodded:

"In the morning, Ayumi and the others went there to catch fish, and saw a suspicious person covering his face staying in the park. Unfortunately, there was a bush at that time, so they didn't see the figure of that person. Not long after, We just found a dead cat in the park with fabric fibers like this hanging from the cat's paws—"

Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand to feel it, and found out a small plastic bag from somewhere, and handed it to Miwako Sato.

Miwako Sato took it and checked it, and found a thin pink and yellow thread inside, with a darker tip, as if stained with blood.

She looked at the corpse for an afternoon, and she was very familiar with this color scheme, and immediately thought of it:

"This was taken from the clothes of the deceased?!"

"Probably. When we picked up the cat's body, we didn't know it was related to the murder. We just thought it was someone who abused the cat, so we put away the fibers on the cat's paws and wanted to use it for comparison later. The cat's body I went back too." Jiang Xia recalled:

"The cat was seriously injured, and it was impossible to run all the way from the young master's pavilion to the park in Nanyuan Town after being injured. And if it went to the park after contacting the deceased and was beaten to death by the cat abuser, then it The things on the paws should have been rubbed off or cleaned off by itself."

Officer Sato understood.

She looked at the small plastic bag in her hand: "If the clothing fibers in the cat's paws were really from the deceased, it means that the cat, the deceased and the murderer were all in that park at the time, and this is indeed not the earliest crime scene... ...Wait, such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"..."

Jiang Xia paused slightly.Then he leaned back on the car seat in a natural manner, and quietly pushed the pot of "knowledge and non-reporting" away from his head: "At first, I was not sure about the source of these fibers. Later, I vaguely guessed the identity of the murderer, And after guessing the man's next move, I'm worried that if you say it in advance, your reaction will alert the murderer... Anyway, the best time for investigation has passed, and the murderer won't go to the park for a while. Knowing a little bit, it shouldn’t have much impact.”

Miwako Sato: "..."

She would have liked to refute.

However, before speaking, the almost nonexistent acting skills of his colleagues flashed instinctively in his mind.

"..." I have to admit that if Jiang Xia has really conceived a way to lure the murderer, then his decision to "hold back" is indeed very wise.

Miwako Sato sighed faintly, and decided to act as if nothing happened, and focused her attention on more important matters: "You just said 'set up a trap and wait for the murderer to jump in'... What exactly is going on?"

Jiang Xia cleared his throat, started from the result, and continued to compile: "It's just a little speculation - the murderer deliberately transported the body back from such a far place and moved it to the 'Young Master Pavilion'. If you exonerate yourself, then leaving the body in other places, or even inserting it on the iron railings in the suburbs to disguise the accident, is far more effective than it is now. After all, once the police believe that the scene of the crime is in the Young Master Pavilion, the employees and regular customers here will It is bound to be the first to be suspected.

"So the murderer's move may have another purpose, such as blaming another person in the young master's pavilion for what he has done."

"..." When Hui Yuanai heard the phrase "insert it on the railing", he didn't know why his heart was sweating.I always feel that this description is a bit bloody.

But the other two didn't know a lot of things like her at a glance, so they didn't think much about it, they just felt that what Jiang Xia said made sense.

Miwako Sato stroked her chin and thought: "This is the shop of Boss Akazawa, and he usually lives here, and he is the deceased's rival in love. If things are really as you said, then the murderer's purpose should be to set the blame on the case." Give it to him... But if the store manager is innocent and there is no evidence to prove that he killed someone, sooner or later we will find other relevant people."

Jiang Xia nodded: "So, according to the usual situation, the next step should be that the 'murderer' is under too much pressure and 'suicide' in fear of crime. Then the police took the 'suicide note' left by him and closed the case smoothly."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember that there was a policeman sitting next to him, and added thoughtfully: "Of course, I believe the police can see something is wrong, but the murderer may not think so. They always overestimate their own intelligence and underestimate their intelligence." police capabilities."

Miwako Sato: "..."

She raised her hand and wiped her face, feeling guilty for some reason.However, she understood Jiang Xia's meaning - the murderer may find the store manager Akazawa in the near future, and then let the most suspected person "suicide in fear of crime".

……

That night.

In the corner of the "Young Master Pavilion", in the manager's room.

A vigorous black figure pushed the door lightly and entered the room with a satchel slung across his waist.

The light from the street lamp in the distance is faintly passing through the window, and through this, the location of the bed can be barely discerned.

The black shadow slowly approached the slightly raised quilt that was sleeping, aimed at the place where the neck was near the pillow, and struck with a knife.

However, just as he was about to succeed, the "sleeping person" suddenly rolled over to the side.

Soi Ying's hand suddenly missed, and fell heavily into the pillow.

There was a soft click, and the overhead lights suddenly brightened.

Miwako Sato stood at the door, withdrawing her hand from pressing the light switch.

Beside the bed, the sneaking black shadow was clearly reflected.

——Madonna is wearing a light tracksuit with a large satchel slung across her waist.After initially getting used to the suddenly bright light, she immediately noticed many figures at the door and looked over in amazement.

At the door, Miwako Sato looked down at her feet. There was a large incubator in the corridor—it was brought by Madonna.When she went in just now, in order to avoid too much luggage and making too much noise, she left the box at the door.

"What is this?" Officer Sato put on his gloves, knelt down and touched it, "Murder tool?"

"..." Madonna's face turned blue and then pale, realizing that she might have been tricked.

A few hours ago, seeing the famous young detective go home in a shambles and the police close down, she had thought it was a safe bet.

Unexpectedly, the security around here was tight inside and outside, and there were policemen ambushing at the door of the manager's room.

However, there is no chance of redemption.After all, tonight, in front of the police, she did nothing. She just slipped into the room and hit the pillow again in the dark. Hitting a pillow is not against the law...

Madonna's heart was pounding, and her blood pressure and heart rate rose sharply. She instinctively wanted to get rid of the crime, and soon thought of a method that might be effective.

Chapter 757 Jiang Xia Doesn't Talk About Wu Morality

"Murder props? In that box are just ice cubes I brought to the store manager. He usually likes to drink cold drinks and cannot do without these." Madonna tried to slow down her tone, and said softly, "Actually, tonight, the store manager invited me came over..."

As she spoke, she leaned towards the person behind her.

——In Madonna's opinion, since the police haven't ruled out the suspicion of the store manager, they may have ambushed here without authorization.

In addition, even if the police and the store manager had a good talk, when the store manager agreed to help the police fish, he might not know who would come here to cast a net.

And Madonna is very sure that the store manager likes her.

In this case, maybe the store manager will follow her excuse and drive out the police who broke into the house at night.

Although this way, she is bound to be suspected by the police.But in the hands of the police, there is no tangible evidence that she is the murderer.Dog licking is very useful, as long as...

A hand suddenly rested on her shoulder, stopping her from leaning back.

Madonna was taken aback.According to her expectation, the leaning just now should have directly leaned into the arms of the store manager... Unexpectedly, the old man pushed her away.

Doubt appeared in her eyes, she turned away from staring at the police, and turned her head weeping.

Behind it is not the 60-year-old old store manager.

She met a young man's face.

……

Jiang Xia looked at the murderous smell of Madonna's perfume, then at her shocked expression, raised the hand on her shoulder, and patted her comfortingly.

When he withdrew his hand, he skillfully pulled out a wisp of murderous aura that had loosened due to fright.

...perfume-scented high-end murderous, which smells good, but doesn't really smell like food.

However, the murderous smell of disinfectant and formalin has been suppressed. Compared with these, the perfume is already a very friendly smell.Even ghosts don't want to eat...

Jiang Xia glanced down at the bed.The new cat is trying to stretch out its claws towards Madonna, trying to hook the murderous look on her body... Well, it really doesn't work, you can still feed the cat, the cat's sense of taste is different from that of a human, maybe it just smells delicious...

While thinking, Jiang Xia looked at the pocket beside Madonna.

Madonna was startled, thinking of something, raised her hand suddenly, trying to cover it.

However, at this moment, the bulging quilt was suddenly lifted, and Conan jumped out quickly.He obviously hid under the quilt and observed for a long time. After he came out, he went straight to Madonna's bag and unzipped it.

Madonna stood up abruptly, and at the same time stretched out her hand, trying to stop Conan.But just in the middle of it, Jiang Xia pushed it back to its original position.The hand she reached out to Conan was also pulled.

Conan smoothly took out a bunch of wrapped plastic wrap from his bag.

Shaking it open, a bloody sharp kitchen knife was wrapped inside.

"It's so strange." Conan held the knife and said loudly, "How could there be such a thing in the big sister's bag? Ah, I heard that the dead clerk uncle was stabbed to death by a sharp object!"

Jiang Xia looked at Conan running towards the door, and nodded secretly. The mini version of Kudo is really useful... In theory, Madonna is still a decent citizen.The police and detectives could get in trouble by reaching directly into her bag.But first-grade children will not be held accountable for this kind of thing, and they have a natural advantage in this regard.

As for Jiang Xia's control of Madonna just now... that was to stop her from committing violence against children, which is called being brave.

……

The store manager appeared behind a group of police officers at some point.

He looked at Madonna in disbelief: "It turned out to be you...why did you kill me?"

Madonna kept her mouth shut tightly.

After a few seconds, he struggled tenaciously again: "I don't know what you're talking about—I have an alibi! Someone asked me to bring that knife, and I owe that person money. He said, hide the knife under your pillow."

... Then you beat someone with a knife just now.Jiang Xia glanced at the innocently beaten pillow, and then at the innocently beaten ghost cat next to the pillow.

"We asked Granny Ah Qing, and she said that she usually wakes up at night when she sleeps, but on the night of the murder, when you went to her house for the night, she slept until dawn." Jiang Xia said:

"Although she thought it was because she was more at ease with you by her side, but on the other hand, it might be because you took sleeping pills and used this method to make her fall into a deep sleep, so she couldn't detect your actions... In short, since She is fast asleep, your alibi will not stand up."

"In addition, the park is a long way from here, and the deceased was stabbed in the heart with a knife. It is difficult not to leave blood on this kind of wound during the process of moving the corpse-you went to the park to clean up the aftermath at noon yesterday, right? Your car is two After one pass, those remaining bloodstains and ruts are not as easy to deal with as you think."
