Conan's Corpse Picker

……

In the courtyard separated by a wall.

Mianguanyi looked at the last piece of intact turf, feeling complicated.

This time, Koda Masao brought the police to dig his house with great fanfare, but failed to dig out the body, which obviously greatly reduced Koda Masao's credibility with the police.

In addition, this troublesome person will also be locked up for a period of time for robbing a jewelry store.

...But at present, for some reason, the manager of the jewelry store who was robbed seems to be on Koda Masao's side.It is not difficult to find the gems now, Masao Koda surrendered immediately after the robbery, if coupled with her understanding... I am afraid it will not last long at all.

Yoshiichi Watanuki did not actually bury the body in his yard.

Previously, the reason why he refused to allow the police and Masao Koda to dig his own yard was because Masao Koda would inevitably turn his attention elsewhere once it was proved that there were no dead bodies in the yard. That's right.

Mianguanyi didn't know how to drive, and he didn't have many trustworthy friends. He didn't dare to take a taxi with the body in the box as if nothing had happened, so the body is still buried nearby.

... If Kota Masao continued to search around after he was released from prison, he would undoubtedly be very dangerous.

When Koda Masao is arrested and brought to justice this time, there must be a way to transfer the body.Where should I move to...

Yoshiichi Mianguan was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a child crossing the cordon and running into his yard.

——a familiar little boy with glasses, whom he had just seen this morning, with the famous young detective.

Thinking of this, Mian Guanyi was startled, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

In the next second, he saw the child reach out and tug at the female police officer leading the team: "Officer Sato, brother Jiang Xia seems to have found the body!"

"?!"

……

Before Miwako Sato rushed over.

A few policemen who noticed the movement in the alley and were familiar with Jiang Xia had already walked over.

——They had seen Jiang Xia staying here for a long time, and they suspected that the overtime detective had finally entered the state, so they approached expectantly, wanting to see what clues Jiang Xia found.

"Can I find out when the manhole cover was last repaired?"

Seeing them coming, Jiang Xia pointed to the edge of the manhole cover: "You can extract the traces here, it seems to have been lifted recently. In addition, if you don't mind the trouble, you can go down to have a look inside - this manhole cover is just right At the door of the side door of Mr. Watanuki's house, there are walls around it on both sides, which can prevent people from peeping in. If he doesn't want to leave the body in his house, but intends to transport it nearby, this will be a good passage .”

Speaking of "nearby", Jiang Xia thought for a while, walked to the iron wall of the construction site, jumped up and grabbed the top of the wall, and looked into the site.

Soon, his eyes stopped on a manhole cover in the construction site, and the lonely cosmos tree not far away.

Jiang Xia looked at those things, nodded secretly, let go and fell back to the ground.

After finding all the clues, we can finally start fast-forwarding...

At the same time as he landed, a large group of people left the yard of Mianguan's house and rushed over here.

The leader turned out to be Watanuki Yoshiichi.This slightly gloomy old man suddenly became extremely flexible at this moment.

Chapter 788 Uzo Candidate Added

at this time.After listening to what Jiang Xia said just now, several police officers were watching the manhole cover in the alley, trying to extract traces from it.

As soon as Mian Guanyi rushed to the front, he pointed at several police officers and asked sharply, "What are you doing?!"

Miwako Sato followed closely behind him.It's just that there is nowhere to start with an elderly person.Seeing Mian Guanyi running closer and closer, he was worried that he would destroy the evidence, and was planning to pull him back with all his heart.At this time, Koda Masao jumped out from nowhere, pressed Mian Guanyi against the wall, and looked at Jiang Xia: "Where is the body?!"

Jiang Xia took half a step back, looked at the manhole cover under her feet, and recalled the details that she had just asked an enthusiastic passer-by:

"According to what Mr. Mochida just said, on the night Miss Koda Sanae disappeared, the road outside was under construction, and a truck was parked at the entrance of the alley, blocking the view from the outside to the alley. Hard to find.

"Across the alley, there is a construction site on the other side. If Mr. Mianguan wants to hide the body, it is undoubtedly very convenient to bury it here at the construction site next door. This construction site happens to be building an apartment. Once the body is hidden, After the apartment is completed, no one will flip it for dozens or even hundreds of years, so it is very safe.

"However, things didn't go as he had planned—not long after the body was hidden, the construction of the apartment stopped. Under such circumstances, the place may be rebuilt at any time, and the murderer felt very worried, but because the location where the body was buried was comparatively The edge may not be refurbished, so he was lucky and didn't move the body immediately, but just kept watching there with binoculars."

Mian Guanyi twitched his forehead, and stubbornly denied: "The construction site is locked, how can I carry the dead body over the wall! I don't have such a strong body at all, you are slander!"

"Don't change the subject." Miwako Sato glanced at him, "It must be through the manhole cover." She remembered that Jiang Xia had been staring at the manhole cover, and Watanuki Yoshiichi must have noticed it too, but he was still dying.

Mian Guanyi's mind went blank.

"Block this alley, find someone to go down, and try to see if you can get to the construction site next door." Police Officer Sato knocked on the iron wall of the nearby construction site, "After going down, first collect evidence, and minimize damage to the surrounding area."

Tsubasa Takagi resignedly lifted the manhole cover and began to climb down.

Not long after, there was a "bang bang" sound from the other side of the iron wall.

Soon, a group of people heard Gao Mushe yelling through the iron wall: "We can get here!"

……

The police quickly contacted everyone at the construction site.

After unlocking the lock on the construction site, a group of people entered inside.Start looking for dead bodies in the vast open space.

Now that the fast-forward has started, it is better to fast-forward to the end.

Jiang Xia looked at the cosmos in the corner and pointed to it: "Maybe here—Ms. Xingtian's colleague gave her a few cosmos seeds that day. If Ms. Xingtian wrapped them in a paper bag, Put it in the pocket, and the body was buried in the ground again..."

Having said that, he sighed and did not continue.

Okiya Subaru also looked at the cosmos and pushed his glasses.

The land that was turned over a month ago and the land that was just turned over a few days ago, even if it was deliberately camouflaged, there will inevitably be some differences - the day before yesterday, Wu Zuo just asked him to turn it over, and then introduced the information like , and showed him the body buried there.

But now, Okiya Subaru is worried that this point will be seen: as the promoter of this case, although he has tried to behave as naturally as possible, there are still some suspicious things, and what he is facing is For a genius detective like Jiang Xia who can see through the script of a genius boss in an instant, what if these doubts are linked together...

Fortunately, these concerns did not come true.

——Masao Koda, who was carrying a shovel, suddenly jumped out from an unknown corner, broke away from the police and rushed to dig.

Those problematic soils were quickly picked aside.It was already dark at this time, and the police did not notice anything wrong.Only the little boy with glasses who has been following Jiang Xia, because his height is closer to the mound, looked over curiously, grabbed a handful of soil and twisted it, before he could do anything else, he was taken away by the police, away from the possible Where dead bodies appear.

Okiya Subaru glanced at Conan.Although this child is very smart, no matter how smart a child is, he should not be able to understand such a complicated matter... He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to stand by and watch.

……

Not long after, the field where the cosmos was located was carefully dug up, revealing the corpse underneath.

On the other side, Miwako Sato has sent people back to the sewer to try to find possible blood.

Mianguanyi looked at the corpse for a while, and the police busy at the manhole cover for a while, and finally felt that the situation was over.

——Sanae Koda broke the back of his head. When transporting the corpse, he was a little flustered and didn't cover it in time. The blood dripped all the way from the villa to the sewer.

Thinking of this, Yoshiichi Mianguan finally covered his heart, knelt down, struggled to take a heart-saving pill, and then said regretfully:

"I didn't mean to kill her. It's just that all the stocks I bought from her lost money, without exception.

"Although this amount of money is nothing to me, I always feel that I have been fooled-when selling, the asshole woman looks like "this will definitely make money", and when she loses, she will just repeat it What did you say 'the stock market is risky'. When she came to my house that day, I was very angry and asked her to pay compensation, but she kept bowing and apologizing, never mentioning money, without any sincerity!

"So I said that I would suspend the cooperation with their company and tell her to go away quickly, and then I didn't want to talk to her anymore, so I went upstairs by myself... Who knew that when she heard this, she chased after me, and suddenly grabbed me at the corner arm, let me think again. When I subconsciously struggled, she rolled down the stairs. I was panicked at the time, so I had to..."

……

No one knew if what he said was true or not.

But the police did find blood stains under the stairs of Yoshihiro Watanabe's family.

Okiya Subaru looked at this scene, and calculated the algorithm in his mind-Wananguan Yoshikazu would definitely spend a long time in prison.

The task of organizing "Make Yoshihito Watanuki disappear" was solved so secretly and easily, and the police did not find any traces of the soil being turned over, so everything was perfect.

Okiya Subaru: "..." It's just that, for some reason, ever since the body was dug up, he always had the feeling that something was staring at him...

Okiya Subaru rubbed his chin suspiciously, thinking of the horribly decomposed female corpse, he clasped his hands silently in his heart—maybe he was targeted because he dug someone's grave earlier and caused unhappiness?

Chapter 789

But Okiya Subaru quickly thought about it again.

——I actually didn’t do it on purpose, when Wu Zuo asked him to dig down there, he didn’t even know that there was a corpse buried there... It’s okay, calm down, there are no ghosts in the world, even if there are, they will be given priority Find someone else, such as a black hand behind the scenes or something...

Okiya Subaru thought about his new boss, and in addition to being afraid, he felt a strange sense of security—the ghost should have no time to make things difficult for him, a little wage earner, before killing Uzo.According to the legend, ghosts are afraid of being tortured by evil people, no matter how you look at it, Uzuo looks very capable of suppressing ghosts...

Thinking of this, Okiya Subaru gradually felt relieved.

He wrapped his windbreaker tightly, tidied up his scarf, and made an appointment with the police to make a record.

I asked for another Jiang Xia's business card, and then I was going to say goodbye to this detective who is good at solving cases and has a good relationship with them "Uzoryu", and went to catch up on the paper.

But when he raised his head to say hello, Okiya Subaru suddenly found that Jiang Xia looked at him in a strange way—although he quickly covered it up, Okiya Subaru always felt that there was a little bit of inquiry hidden in the young detective's gaze and alert.

Okiya Subaru was slightly taken aback, and his first reaction was: what did those two witty kids say to Jiang Xia, such as peeking at his mobile phone screen... which made Jiang Xia feel a little disgusted with him.

But soon, Okiya Subaru couldn't help but think again, if even a child thinks he is suspicious, maybe Jiang Xia also...

Wu Zuo's warning of "if exposed, bury it in the ground consciously" flashed through his mind, and his scalp was slightly numb.

But I quickly remembered that the day before yesterday, when Wu Zuo talked about "exposed", the specific words were "being caught by the police".

...Thinking about it carefully, why did Uzo add the word "police" instead of using the more common saying of "being caught by others"?

At that time, Okiya Subaru was being held down by Uzo, looking affectionately at the rotting eye sockets of the corpse at close range, and had no time to think about it.

But now, after experiencing all this, he suddenly discovered that there might be some other meaning hidden in Wu Zuo's seemingly casual threat.

——Although it is true that only the police are qualified to arrest people, Uzo’s statement virtually excludes the “detective” among the “people who find something suspicious”, leaving only the “police”.In other words...Jiang Xia has already noticed traces of Wu Zuo's existence, and Wu Zuo has also discovered this?

As soon as this idea popped up, it was out of control.

Okiya Subaru suddenly realized that these two geniuses related to the case happened to be in Tokyo.The more frequent the incidents, the more likely they will encounter them—in this case, perhaps Jiang Xia has already discovered that there are traces of human manipulation behind some cases.

... If Jiang Xia is really as good as the media makes it out to be, then it is very reasonable for him to have this kind of observation.

Especially, if Wu Zuo deliberately led Jiang Xia to the crime scene at some point in pursuit of efficiency or for the sake of character reading the case... then Jiang Xia would definitely be able to find traces of unnaturalness in it.

——Everything has two sides. When a good knife kills the enemy, it is like cutting melons and vegetables, but if one day, the knife suddenly awakens, and when it reverses the user, it will also be like cutting melons and vegetables... Zuo Lai, Jiang Xia is probably such a knife.

Okiya Subaru was a little nervous at first.But soon he thought, this kind of danger that even he can understand, it is impossible for Wu Zuo not to understand, that is to say...

Ok? !

"..." Combined with what Uzo did the day before yesterday, Okiya Subaru suddenly had a guess.

... Could it be that Wu Zuo taught the younger brother to perform the task hand in hand, not only because he is strict.The more real reason is that Wu Zuo wants to push a scapegoat out, and help him take the blame when the matter is really difficult to cover up?

Okiya Subaru: "..." Indeed, in this way, even if one day, Jiang Xia really found evidence that "someone was planning and promoting the murder behind the scenes". People who come into contact with him are more likely to become targets in the eyes of detectives and police.
