Conan's Corpse Picker

He suddenly remembered something, and asked Jiang Xia: "When Miss Shimamura and Uncle Mao Li were talking about their itinerary just now, did you want to say something?"

——Conan remembers that when Mori Kogoro resumed the timeline just now, Jiang Xia's eyes kept going back and forth between him and Sayuri Shimamura, hesitating to speak, obviously aware of something.

But later, Xiaolan suddenly asked about Maoli Kogoro dating a woman, Jiang Xia didn't have time to say it.

……

"This..." Jiang Xia's tone became a little hesitant when he heard Conan's question.

While speaking, he yawned again, slowly leaned back against the back of the sofa, and recalled:

"Actually, the place where Ms. Takenaka took me for a drive just now can also see the Dongdu Beach Bridge.

"And when we were chatting, I accidentally looked out through the front window of the car, and I saw a man who looked like Uncle Maori vaguely more than ten meters ahead - at that time, there was indeed a short-haired woman standing next to him .”

Saiduri Shimamura has short hair, what a coincidence?Conan was a little surprised: "In other words, you are also Miss Shimamura's alibi?"

"Almost. But when we got there, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening, and the murder happened at nine o'clock. I didn't see their movements at nine o'clock." Jiang Xia said, eyes closed Some, talking about his experience and reasoning like a dream:

"When I mention this, I always feel that things are a bit strange. According to Uncle Mori, he and Miss Shimamura stayed there for a full hour and a half.

"But when I saw them, they didn't look like they had stopped much—there were only the pull tabs of the cans in the garbage bags, there were no leftover snack packages, and there was only one can of drinks in each hand... It couldn't be that I just talked for an hour. But the light was very dark at the time, and maybe I recognized the wrong person..."

Conan shook his head: "Your observation skills have always been keen. If you read correctly this time, it means that the time they actually arrived there was not 08:30 in the evening, but closer to when you were in the past..."

Before he had time to chew on this doubtful point, he suddenly noticed another problem.

Conan looked at Jiang Xia: "Speaking of which, we are so close, you didn't go over to say hello?"

"I wanted to go. But when I wanted to get out of the car, Ms. Takenaka stopped me and said not to disturb them... I can't force her to get out of the car." Speaking of this, Jiang Xia seemed to recall some scene, Turning away as if blushing, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, I thought that Uncle Maori went to an izakaya to drink with his friends, so I may only see people who resemble him, so I didn't go there... Not too long after that, they left."

Conan was nodding and listening.

On the way, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked at Jiang Xia: "...?" Why are you blushing?

Originally, Conan didn't think too much about it.After all, some people just like to match up indiscriminately—Miss Takenaka didn't want Jiang Xia to bother Kogoro Mori and Sayuri Shimamura, maybe it was just a heart attack of gossip, and she wanted to make a match.

But when Jiang Xia talked about this matter, she was strangely shy...

Conan recalled what Jiang Xia said just now.Suddenly, I felt that I had grasped the point: Jiang Xia actually had to "get rid of" Ms. Takenaka before she could get out of the car...

Conan touched his chin, and the scene at that time gradually appeared in his mind.

——The moon is dark and the wind is high, a lonely man and a widow are sitting in a car.Seeing an acquaintance, Jiang Xia wanted to open the door and get out of the car to say hello and help Xiaolan keep an eye on her restless father.However, before getting out of the car, the "Miss Zhuzhong" next to him suddenly hugged his arm affectionately, coquettishly pulled him back, and continued to hug him until Jiang Xia was persuaded to give up getting out of the car to check.

Thinking of this, Conan's eyes gradually became suspicious: Why did Miss Takenaka do everything possible to prevent Jiang Xia from getting off the car?And they happened to go for a drive to a key location...

Is it simply that she doesn't want to be disturbed on the date, or is there some vital involvement between her and the murder case?

……

In the corridor, Belmode was watching secretly: "..."

Although at present, Uzo has not yet begun to expose the methods used in the case.

But Belmode followed him all the way, and combined with the news she just heard from the police, she had roughly guessed the truth of this incident.

Combine this, and look at what Uzo is doing now...

Although the distance was a bit far, Belmode couldn't hear what Jiang Xia was saying to Conan.

But combined with the expressions and reactions of the two, and Conan's suddenly serious eyes...

Belmode always felt that he seemed to understand the meaning of Uzo's email just now.

... Wu Zuo probably wants others to think that she is the mastermind behind these cases.

Belmode: "..."...Although she did say that she "wanted to see the behind-the-scenes perspective", that was just an excuse to hear spoilers about Mori Kogoro.

Moreover, even if she really wants to experience the behind-the-scenes experience, what she wants to experience is definitely the magical planning process, and the pleasure of looking down on all beings from the perspective of God, laughing at them running around like headless chickens... Who would want to experience the behind-the-scenes perspective only in the aspect of "taking the blame"!

Belmode's expression was calm, but the cigarette in his hand crunched and deformed.

For a moment, she suddenly felt lucky: fortunately, when she asked Uzuo to go out before, Uzuo kept refusing.

If Uzo says yes every time...

Chapter 848 I heard that you want to be behind the scenes?

A gust of wind passed through the corridor, gently caressing Belmode's exposed skin.

She shuddered silently, and looked down at the shirt that she had tied a knot at the hem, exposing her navel. After a moment of silence, she silently reached out to untie the knot, and at the same time gathered the overcoat that was draped outside.

……a little cold.

……

the other side.

Conan asked Jiang Xia a few words, but failed to get any useful information, only seeing Jiang Xia getting more and more sleepy.

Looking at the neighbor who stayed up late for too long, who seemed to be bewitched by the beauty, and had no intention of reasoning...

Conan was surprised to find that he had another chance to solve the puzzle before the reference book announced the answer.

"..." I'm lucky tonight... I'll call Hattori Heiji later.

Thinking of this, Conan didn't waste any more time.

His attention shifted to Mori Kogoro, wanting to ask him about the situation.

——Conan's thinking is the same as that of the police, and they all feel that acquaintances need to be investigated first, especially Sayuri Shimamura who "forgot to close the window".

Under this premise, Kogoro Mouri, who was with Sayuri Shimamura the whole time tonight, undoubtedly holds the most valuable clue.

……

Conan walked over and tugged Mori Kogoro's clothes: "Uncle, brother Jiang Xia said that he has some questions and wants to ask you..."

Mori Kogoro turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at Conan, then at Jiang Xia who was leaning on the sofa, his eyes suddenly froze.

After a while, Moli Kogoro walked towards Jiang Xia suspiciously, muttering: "...Why did this kid fall asleep at the scene of the crime?"

Conan was taken aback, then turned around.

I saw Jiang Xia, who was just a little sleepy just now, had closed his eyes completely at some point, as peaceful as those students who surf the Internet all night and then lie down to catch up on sleep in English class.

Conan: "..."

He also followed Mori Kogoro to the sofa.

Suddenly remembered something on the way, and turned to look at the corridor.

I saw "Miss Zhuzhong" holding a cigarette in her mouth, watching Jiang Xia faintly through the rising smoke.Her eyes could not be said to be friendly, but there was no killing intent, but it seemed to have a bit of resentment, which was very complicated... Conan looked at it for a long time, but couldn't analyze the more specific components, but felt that he could sum up the situation in one sentence.

——There is a problem, and it is a big problem.

He was suddenly more alert.

"..." Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xia seldom falls asleep at the scene of a crime—no matter what angle you look at, Jiang Xia is definitely a responsible detective who loves her career.When he visited the scene of the crime, although he didn't talk much, he was always very energetic, and his eyes were brighter than usual...Only a few times, when encountering incidents related to car accidents and explosions, Jiang Xia would Delay the process in solving the case.But at that time, he usually hangs up the phone while leaning on something absent-mindedly, instead of falling asleep like this.

Kogoro Mori apparently thought the same thing.

As an adult, he is more powerful than Conan.Mori Kogoro walked to the sofa and shook Jiang Xia: "Wake up, wake up and solve the case."

After shaking for a long time, Jiang Xia barely responded.

But he only raised his eyelids, before he fully opened his eyes, he fell asleep again.

... Can't wake up.

Mori Kogoro withdrew his hand and rubbed the back of his head in doubt: This junior is not normal today, why did he sleep like he was taking sleeping pills... huh? !

Jiang Xia can also be regarded as an acquaintance around Kogoro Mori. When an acquaintance encounters an unexpected situation, Kogoro Mori concentrates his attention and awakens his reasoning ability a little.

At the same time, the keyword "sleeping pills" made him suddenly think of something.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Sayuri Shimamura, just in time to meet the other party's panic-avoiding sight—Sayuri Shimamura seemed to be very concerned about the movements of the detectives, and had been looking this way just now.

"..." Mori Kogoro looked at her, recalled his experience tonight, and gradually realized something.

His face changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought for a while.

……

Sayuri Shimamura stood in the room with her arms crossed.She tried her best to maintain a sad expression, but her heart was always extremely tense.

Just now, when she found that Jiang Xia had fallen asleep suddenly, Sayuri Shimamura was puzzled, but she suddenly felt happy in her heart.

——Although I don’t know what happened, but since Jiang Xia suddenly fell asleep like this, the scary scenes like "Jiang Xia suddenly walked over and whispered to her, 'Surrender yourself'" that I thought just now, should not happen ...

Thinking of this, Sayuri Shimamura couldn't help raising her hand again, covering her face.

It looked like she was covering up the tears, but in fact, there was a little smile on her lips unconsciously.

——It is very difficult to catch robbers and murderers on the move.Moreover, when the crime happened, the windows of their apartment were not closed properly. It is very likely that a novice robber fumbled in and killed Hemei on the spur of the moment.In this way, the prisoner will be more difficult to lock.

The police will always be chasing the phantom that doesn't exist, and she will happily live a sinless life.

Saiduri Shimamura quickly adjusted her mood, adjusted her expression, and put down her hands.

Then suddenly the light dimmed.

Someone walked up to her.

She raised her head in surprise and found that it was Mori Kogoro walking over.

When Sayuri Shimamura saw this person, she couldn't help but feel a little better—although this uncle and Jiang Xia are both detectives, and I heard that they have a good relationship, but the reasoning ability of the two is very different... Wake up, if Kogoro Mori didn't take the initiative to send her to the door and give her an alibi, things might not have gone so smoothly.

Thinking of this, Sayuri Shimamura was about to nod her head and say hello to this person who unconsciously acted as her accomplice.

However, before she could wait any longer, she first saw the complicated expression of Kogoro Mori.

Immediately afterwards, the stupid detective in her eyes suddenly spoke, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Daocun, surrender yourself."

"..."

There was a buzzing in Sayuri Shimamura's head.

Her first reaction was to turn to Jiang Xia, looking at the sleeping young detective, a few words suddenly appeared in her mind - Tuomeng.

"..." No no, how is it possible, this is too ridiculous.

She forced a smile and looked at Mori Kogoro: "What are you talking about, haven't we been together tonight? I don't have time to commit crimes at all..."

Mori Kogoro sighed and said in a low voice, "When I got off from the Mihua station, I had a hard candy in my mouth. But I don't remember eating that candy before I fell asleep. And from Shibahama to The rice cracker station, with my mouth open to sleep, wasn't long enough for the sugar to melt to the point where I got out of the car..."
