Conan's Corpse Picker

He suddenly mentioned sugar, which made Sayuri Shimamura confused for a while.

But when she heard the words behind her, her face changed suddenly.

Mori Kogoro: "So I'm thinking, the time I took on that circular line may be longer than I thought. For example, I took a stop and took an extra lap... If so, I'm in this building When I met you downstairs, it was no longer eight o'clock sharp, but nine o'clock when the crime happened."

Chapter 849

Speaking of this, Mori Kogoro glanced at Jiang Xia who was sleeping next to him.

Look at Belmode standing aside.

He couldn't help showing eyes mixed with vigilance, condemnation, envy, embarrassment, how nice to be young and so on.

At the same time, Kogoro Moori felt that he suddenly understood something, such as why Jiang Xia was sleepy—I heard that Jiang Xia was having a drink with "Miss Takenaka" ten minutes ago... Kogoro Moori felt that he smelled some crimes breath.

But at this time, as a detective, since the neighbor's child was not in danger, Mori Kogoro quickly put solving the case on a higher priority.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Sayuri Shimamura:

"While many details are unclear, in general, I slept twice tonight.

"The first time was on the tram, I fell asleep drunk and slept for nearly an hour, but I thought I only slept for ten minutes.

"The second time was when I went for a drive with you, and I fell asleep for just ten minutes, but when you woke me up, you told me that I slept for more than an hour-we chatted while looking at the Dongdu Beach Bridge When we met, you found that I got the time wrong for some reason, so you wanted to take advantage of this by adjusting the time on the dial in the car and let me put the two The duration of the first sleep is reversed, creating an alibi..."

Sayuri Shimamura turned pale.

Conan nodded while listening, suddenly realized, feeling a little complicated.

This time, Jiang Xia finally didn't give any spoilers ahead of time.But Uncle Maori actually...

……

Beside, Belmode looked up at the window.

It seems to be distracted, but in fact, the attention has been on this side.

After hearing all of Kogoro Mouri's reasoning, she couldn't help being a little surprised that Maori still has such a level...it's really hard to judge by appearances.

However, it seems that this has something to do with Wu Zuo's reminder just now.

——Moori Kogoro and Shimamura Sayuri had a drink, and then suddenly fell asleep;

Uzo knew this, so he pretended to have a few drinks with "Miss Takenaka" and suddenly fell asleep.

... The onlooker is clear. After observing Jiang Xia, Kogoro Mouri received the reminder that "the drink contains sleeping pills" and discovered the key point in the "alibi".

Moreover, Belmode thought, Uzo and Mori Kogoro had so many contact opportunities, even if Mori Kogoro was really a waste of reasoning, Uzo could still calmly and in some way before this case happened. Send the answer to Mori Kogoro—just like the question maker gave a set of example questions with the same problem-solving steps except for the different values ​​before the exam.

……

Belmode was quite surprised by the keenness shown by Mori Kogoro.

And, she does prefer to see that develop.

The more detectives around cool_guy, the easier it is to hide the fact that "Edogawa Conan is a fake kid"—even if he can't solve the case under the guise of "Jiang Xia", cool_guy can still use the name of other detectives to use it, Like Mori Kogoro.

Think again about Wu Zuo's behavior of deliberately pretending to be asleep just now...

Belmode lowered his hands, knocked the soot on the edge of the flower pot, and smiled silently.

She suddenly realized that what Uzuo did was just following her previous words on the surface, making a joke and pushing the blame of "the mastermind behind the scenes" on her back.

But in fact, this may also be hinting at her.

——Wu Zuo was saying to her, the organization cadre: If Conan, a primary school student, still solves the case when "Jiang Xia" is not around, it is because "there is a seemingly confused but sharp Mouri Kogoro behind Conan's guidance." ", not because "Conan is a fake kid".

Thinking of this, Belmode was aggrieved by the unreasonable accusation and dispersed a lot.

——From the victim's point of view, Uzuo's cobweb-like layout penetrates into every aspect, which is indeed terrifying.

But on the other hand, standing on the same standpoint as Uzuo, becoming his companion, those ubiquitous and meticulous nets will be very good protection.

... The only problem is that for someone to benefit, someone must suffer.

——Bermode found that not only cool_guy, but now even Kogoro Mori looked at her strangely.

Belmod: "..."

... Fortunately, she has many identities, so it's not difficult to make some temporary fake evidence to fool her.

Otherwise, according to Wu Zuo's "killing familiar" speed in the physical sense, once her vest and U Zuo meet, she will be marked as suspicious by the police and detectives once, and she will become a suspicious person in seconds if she changes her vest...

Thinking about it this way, in a sense, Bellmode suddenly found that he was the most suitable partner for Uzo - others were not as resistant to grabbing as she was.

After reaching this conclusion, Belmode's first reaction was: Fortunately, Uzo's business fields hardly overlap with hers, and the boss probably won't find any regular teammates for her.

Belmode: "..." No, in order to understand Uzo and his mental state more, it seems that she should take the initiative to create opportunities to get close...

Belmode paused for a while to puff out the smoke, and was briefly entangled.

……

Next to it, the conversation between Sayuri Shimamura and Kogoro Mori gradually attracted the attention of the surrounding police.

Although both have alibi, they are still important witnesses in this case.

Coupled with Sayuri Shimamura's expression, it looks really unnatural, and it will always remind people of the word "guilty heart".The sight of the police looking at them gradually increased.

At this moment, a small police officer led a person into the room: "Police department, we found the gentleman who delivered the courier!"

——On the dining table in the living room where the deceased was, there was a courier, and the recipient was Sayuri Shimamura.

But at the receipt office, the name of the deceased was signed.

Coupled with the testimony of Sayuri Shimamura, the police speculated that the parcel was delivered by a courier when the deceased was alone at home.

In other words, if you are lucky, the courier may have some impression of the "robbery murderer" or notice some related clues.

If luck is better... Maybe the courier is the impromptu gangster who casually puts the parcel on the table after the murder, pretending that everything has nothing to do with him.That might catch someone on the spot.

……

In short, after discovering the package, the police quickly contacted the courier company and successfully found the part-time delivery courier today.

The other party seemed to be an enthusiastic person, and he was quite friendly to the police. Hearing that there was a murder case, he rushed over without much excuse.

The enthusiastic part-time courier quickly entered the living room.

Belmode glanced over there with little interest, and saw a conspicuous blond hair.

Looking down at her face, she paused for a moment when she lit her cigarette: "..."

Chapter 850 Suspicious Boss Added

Conan also stared at the newcomer at the door, and was stunned for a moment: ...Why is it Toru Amuro? ?

Although Jiang Xia did say that Boss Amuro has the habit of working everywhere, it is not surprising that he suddenly became a courier at this time.

...But thinking about it this way, Conan found that, from another perspective, maybe this "working around" is very problematic in the first place? ——This allows Toru Amuro to reasonably appear wherever he wants, to collect information, or to reduce suspicion.

The suspicious Miss Takenaka, plus Jiang Xia's suspicious boss...

Conan's mind was spinning, and he began to analyze and arrange countless possible situations.

……

On the other side, Toru Amuro followed the policeman into the living room.

"I heard that here..." In the middle of speaking, his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw Jiang Xia who was dozing off in the corner.

Amuro paused for a moment before finishing the rest of the sentence: "...Is there a murder?"

"Huh? It's you, what a coincidence." Mumu Police Department greeted him.

Of course he remembered this mixed-race brother - if he remembered correctly, Toru Amuro was also a private detective, and the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.It's just that this detective doesn't seem to like his job, and he doesn't know what he's busy with all day long... But it's understandable when you think about it. With Jiang Xia, an employee who solves cases quickly and is very active in accepting commissions, which boss is willing to personally go to battle?I will definitely use my free time to develop my hobbies.

...Hiss, but, so to speak, this is actually an unscrupulous boss who exploits underage detectives.

Thinking of this, the Meguro Police Department paused slightly in their steps towards Toru Amuro.

He cleared his throat and did not continue the greeting:

"As you can see, unfortunately, a murder happened here..."

……

Meguro Police Department briefly described the general case.

Then I asked Toru Amuro: "About what time did you come here? Is there anything unusual around you?...Uh, brother Amuro?"

"Huh?" Amuro regained his senses.

He did notice some abnormalities, for example, Jiang Xia, who was always very energetic at the scene of the crime, was hiding in a corner and sleeping at this time.

Another example is that in this case, Jiang Xia and his acquaintances...

Although he felt that the state of the staff was a bit strange, Toru Amuro took a brief look and found that Jiang Xia was breathing steadily and seemed to be sleeping normally, and there were many policemen around, so nothing would happen for a while.

Toru Amuro held an instinct of "don't disturb things that shouldn't be disturbed" that he couldn't explain clearly, and didn't go to wake Jiang Xia up, and didn't even look over there, and quickly focused on the case.

When Mumu Police Department spoke just now, although he was thinking about other things.

But as an intelligence officer who often has to multitask, Amuro Toru recalled for a while, and quickly remembered what the Megure Police Department said just now.

"I came here at about 08:30 in the evening." Toru Amuro found out the records made at work.

Then he glanced at the group photo of the two cohabitants on the bookshelf in the living room, and then at Sayuri Shimamura with an ugly face, "The recipient of the package is Sayuri Shimamura, but when I came to deliver the courier, the door opened It was a lady with long hair. Miss Shimamura was not around, so she signed for the package on her behalf. As for the abnormality..."

Amuro glanced at some evidence bags in the corner, then looked at the traces on the table used to fix the evidence, thought for a moment, and seemed to think of something: "I remember when I signed for the receipt, the person who signed for it couldn't find the seal, so it was For the words signed with a pen, the pen could not write at first, so I unscrewed it for her to look at the refill, and found that there was almost no ink in it, and I flicked it a few times before writing. Remember that after signing, she I casually put the pen on the shoe cabinet next to it, then closed the door with the package and entered the house, but now it seems... that pen doesn't seem to be there?"

According to Amuro Toru's experience, any changes on the scene may have important reasons behind them.

He didn't have the slightest idea of ​​hiding anything, he just wanted to help the police solve the case as soon as possible - although he had nothing else to do tonight, he had to get up early tomorrow, and he didn't want to stay up late.

"...pen?" Moori Kogoro, who was pressed by some kind of switch by Jiang Xia, obviously thought of something at this moment.

Subconsciously, he touched his pocket and took out a pen.

Seeing Kogoro Mori's movements, Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows: "That's right, that's the pen...Why is it on you?"

"..."

Mori Kogoro was silent for a long time, a pair of small eyes that were no longer salty fish were shining with thoughtful light.
