Conan's Corpse Picker

……

the other side.

Holding the guitar, Nakamura Yusuke led Mao Lilan into the building and came to the elevator.

Looking back, seeing that no one was coming, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that things went well-just now he mustered up the courage to talk to someone, and it turned out to be correct.

Nakamura Yusuke pressed the button, and the elevator went up quickly.

The two entered the elevator one after another and pressed the button for the first floor of the basement.

After the elevator doors closed.

Belmode turned out from the corner without a sound. She raised her head and stared at the jumping numbers on the top of the elevator.Finally, I watched it stop at the position of B1.

……

Nakamura Yusuke and Mori Ran quickly descended from the roof to the basement 1 where the lounge is located.

There is a simple guard post on the basement floor, which usually performs the duties of security and keeps the keys by the way.

Nakamura Yusuke lent the key to the lounge from the guard.

The two came to the door of the lounge.

On both sides of the door, there are some large musical instruments.The lounge door was locked and the lights were off.Before they came, there seemed to be no one inside.

Nakamura Yusuke opened the door with the key, but did not invite Mao Lilan in.He turned around and apologized: "Please wait here for a while."

Mao Lilan responded obediently.

It's normal not to let her in the artist's rest room.After all, not only Yusuke Nakamura is using it here, but also other members of the orchestra—the rooftop restaurant knows the importance of publicity when it first opened, and invited the band for several days in a row.So today and in the next few days, Nakamura Yusuke's band will come here to sing every night and use this rest room.There may still be some personal belongings of the members of the band.

Not letting outsiders in is to protect the privacy of the artists...

While thinking, Mao Lilan nodded her head understandingly.

After watching Yusuke Nakamura go in, she paced back and forth at the door of the lounge, curiously admiring the various musical instruments in the corridor and the paintings on the wall.

At the corner, Belmode observed the scene secretly.

Seeing that the situation seemed safe, she followed the "no interference" agreement she had made with Wu Zuo just now, and peeped from a distance without moving.

……

After a few seconds, a series of sounds suddenly came from the rest room.

Mao Lilan was startled, and listened carefully, and heard someone tripped and staggered in the rest room.

Immediately afterwards, Nakamura Yusuke murmured to himself in confusion: "What?"

A rustling sound.

"Ah——!" A scream sounded in the room.

"..." Belmode, who was eavesdropping at the corner, twitched his eyes and frowned slightly.

But after thinking about it, it was that man who screamed...

She finally refrained from moving.

Before something that could threaten Angel's life appeared, she was just a spectator who was curious about Uzo's drama, so she came to watch it up close - this kind of behavior is still within the limit of explanation.But if you are too surprised, it will trigger a deeper threat.

... In front of that child, you must be calm.

Belmode took a few deep breaths slowly, suppressed his temper, and watched silently.

……

On the other side, the door of the lounge.

Of course, Mao Lilan didn't have so many scruples.

When she heard the screams, she was startled instinctively, always feeling that there would be Jiang Xia or Conan or someone else rushing past.

... After 0.1 second of reaction, I remembered that there was no one around.

Mao Lilan had no choice but to pluck up the courage to go forward, pushed open the door of the lounge, and soon saw Nakamura Yusuke who was making a sound, and she was concerned: "What's wrong? Are you okay!"

There were no lights on in the lounge.

With the light from the corridor, Mourilan saw Yusuke Nakamura sitting on the ground in a corner of the room.

Nakamura Yusuke raised his hand and pointed tremblingly at the ground in front of him.

Mao Lilan followed his direction and saw a blanket that had fallen to the ground.

There seemed to be a person under it, and a piece protruded from it.Half of a hand was vaguely exposed on the edge of the blanket. It was pale and slender, and it was wearing a purple starlight glove. worn all the time.

"I, I thought someone left, and accidentally brought the blanket to the ground. I wanted to pick it up and put it away. Who knew that I would take a look..."

Nakamura Yusuke's voice was trembling, and his speech became confused, full of panic:

"Youkiko, she seems to be dead! Go and call Mr. Jiang Xia down!"

"Okay!" Mao Lilan followed him and became scared—even if she saw too many corpses, it didn't mean she was completely immune to it, at least the moment she saw a new corpse, Mao Lilan would still instinctively feel Fear.

Especially now, the lounge is dimly lit, the corpse is half-covered, and he is infected by Nakamura Yusuke's strong fear...

Following his instructions, Mao Lilan turned around and ran out, as agile as a frightened rabbit.

——There is a covered body, which means that a murder is likely to have occurred here.If there is a murder case, we must find a detective to solve the case.And Jiang Xia is undoubtedly an excellent detective... Rounding up, Nakamura Yusuke asked her to go directly to Jiang Xia, the logic in this seems to be no problem.

Mao Lilan did not think too much, and instinctively followed suit.

She quickly ran to the elevator, ready to go to the rooftop restaurant on the top floor, and asked Jiang Xia to come over.

……

Not long after they got down, the elevator was not used by anyone else.

As soon as Mao Lilan pressed the button, the door opened.

She ran into the elevator.

When the metal door slowly closed, Mao Lilan remembered something.She looked suspiciously through the crack of the door and looked at the curtain on the side of the corridor - when she ran over just now, she always felt that there was a slight shake there, as if someone was hiding inside...

Thinking about it, Mao Lilan shuddered, and scary things like "the ghost of Watanabe's lead singer" appeared in his mind.

Fortunately, the elevator doors closed quickly and the elevator went up.

Looking at the steadily jumping numbers on the screen, Mao Lilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Thinking about it instead, the curtain shaking just now might just be because she brought some wind when she ran... maybe.

……

As the crime scene got farther and farther away, fear and panic faded from Mao Lilan's heart little by little.

Looking at her own reflection in the elevator, she was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead regretfully.

——What are you doing upstairs, you should call Jiang Xia directly!Otherwise, if the murderer is still nearby, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Mr. Nakamura to stay alone.

But now...

Mao Lilan looked up at the numbers and found that the elevator had already traveled halfway.

It's better to take Jiang Xia down together... Well, as long as you move fast enough, it's not a big problem.

Chapter 832 Dangerous People Around You

Mao Lilan pressed 110 while the elevator was going up.

When the elevator reached the top floor, the door opened.She pressed the dial button and skillfully called the police, while trotting to the desk where Jiang Xia was, telling him that a terrible murder happened downstairs.

……

basement.

The curtain that Mao Lilan was watching just now moved.

Belmode stepped out of it.

She looked at the elevator that was going up continuously, and silently shook her head.

Angel is so naive, always unwilling to doubt the people around him, even if it's just "people around him" in the physical sense.

Speaking of which, Belmode thought happily, fortunately, he didn't intervene when he heard the screams just now.Now it seems that although Uzo's "script" did involve angel, Uzo just made her a seemingly dangerous but actually very safe opening role.

Although for normal female high school students, this is still a bad thing that will scare them.

But in Wu Zuo's eyes, this kind of role is probably equivalent to ordinary activities such as "helping to draw the curtain".There is no danger, but it can bring a little fun of hands-on participation.

"..." When Wu Zuo treated Angel, he did not intend to be malicious, but his concept was slightly different from that of normal people.From this point of view, the dismissal of cool_guy might just be the case, rather than a temptation to her.

...Thinking about it, that time when she secretly used Uzo's mobile phone to make a call, Uzo drank enough alcohol to overwhelm several adults who are good at drinking. At that time, it was impossible for him to maintain a sober state .

This relieved Belmode a lot.

but……

She quickly thought again, if this is the case, what is going on with Kogoro Mouri?

He was also tricked by Uzo to reveal it?

……

Before coming here, Belmode thought that something might happen to Uzo.

But I really didn't expect that Wu Zuo would commit two murders in one night at the same time.

She couldn't help but think of Bourbon's slightly haggard look the last time she saw her, and suddenly she had a little understanding of the reason why the mysterious intelligence officer was tortured.

"..." In any case, it seems that even the people Uzo cares about can't avoid being thrown into those "dramas" by him... But he should still have a sense of proportion.

...I hope it will be the same with Mori Kogoro.

……

When Shibahama's body was found.

Drunk Mori Kogoro finally managed to wake up after taking a nap.

In a daze, he heard the announcement of "Mihua Station".At the last second before the door closed, Mori Kogoro got up and sprinted out of the car.

"It's okay, it's okay, I almost sat and stood...huh?" Kogoro Mouri rejoiced, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He smacked his lips in doubt: Why is his mouth so sweet?
