Conan's Corpse Picker

Thinking of this, Kudo Yusaku's expression gradually became serious.

He didn't stay any longer, and hurried back to the empty house, turning his attention to his son, intending to get more information.

——Conan, who was pretending to be asleep, was shaken by Kudo Yusaku just like that.

……

However, it is a pity that Conan failed to provide information, but was more ignorant than him.

Conan stared at the familiar face in front of him, and reacted for a while before he noticed Yusaku Kudo's question.

He repeated suspiciously: "My mother?"

Kudo Yusaku nodded: "It's 'Edogawa Fumyo', she has changed her appearance."

"..." Conan recalled the situation on the road, and turned out the dead fish eyes, "No wonder 'Edogawa Fumyo' kept praising 'Kudo Yukiko' when he mentioned my family situation..."

Yusaku Kudo sighed unreasonably: "In the beginning, we just wanted you to realize that fighting against that organization alone is a very dangerous thing... But now it seems that your situation may be worse than I expected. It's even more dangerous."

Conan tried to get out of the rope, and asked angrily, "Huh?"

Kudo Yusaku helped him untie the knot: "Your mother is missing and can't be reached. I'm looking for her, but now I lack clues..."

As he spoke, he threw away the rope and picked up his son who hadn't returned to God from the ground: "We can't stay here anymore, leave first, let's talk on the way."

……

at the same time.

Rimai TV backstage.

While father and son are trying to find a wife/mother.Yoko Kinoshita looked excitedly at Yukiko Kudo who took off the disguise mask, a small star appeared in her eyes.

——As a die-hard fan of Yukiko, I stood face to face with the idol at this time, and even shook the idol's hand... Although the idol is shy with a funny belly piled up with stuffing, Yoko Kinoshita is still very happy.

Yukiko Kudo has retired for a long time, and at this time, she met her fan for a long time, who is still a cute and polite junior.

The two chatted happily for a while.

Not long after, it was time to start shooting.

……

Sitting in front of the stage, Jiang Xia looked at the slightly messy scene, but she wasn't too nervous.

After all, he remembered that in the original world line, Mori Kogoro often appeared on the show.

With such a senior as an example...

Jiang Xia felt that if she worked hard, it should be fine.

……

center stage.

At the guest table, there were four people sitting - Jiang Xia, a resident guest, and the host and assistant.

Today's assistant is Yoko Kinoshita's guest appearance.

With her help, coupled with the support of an experienced host, as expected, the recording went very smoothly.

Yukiko Kudo sat in the auditorium below, looking at Jiang Xia with relief, feeling that the skills she taught must have come in handy.

……

After the on-site questioning, reasoning question and answer, etc. are over.

The live broadcast of the first half came to an end.

Commercials inserted, programs paused.

Several people had a short break.

At this time, the host suddenly raised his hand to cover his lower abdomen, groaning in pain.

Jiang Xia propped her chin, turned to look at him, and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

"Fortunately, alas, maybe the milk in the morning has expired..." the host said, pulling a passing staff member, "Where is Suwa? Why haven't I seen him?"

Suwa is the producer of this program.

Right now, he's not in the studio.

——Because a few hours ago, the host made an appointment with him to ask Suwa to wait for him in the meeting room downstairs, saying that he had something important to discuss.

Now, the host suddenly mentioned this, hoping that someone would notice Suwa's position.It is convenient for him to create an alibi after killing someone for a while.

Jiang Xia sat beside him quietly, watching him perform kindly.

Chapter 68 Script flow to solve the case

The short-lived ad was over soon, and the live broadcast continued.

After a while, when a 4-minute commercial was interrupted.

The host left the studio with the excuse of "going to the bathroom with a stomachache".

He had already made a murderous attempt on Suwa—because Suwa wanted to replace him and let a beautiful star host the show to increase the ratings.

……

The host walked out of the studio, and as soon as he left the sight of the staff, he rushed to the warehouse on the seventh floor.

On the way, he took out the mobile phone and gun that he had hidden in advance, called Suwa, and lied to him that he was going to jump off the building.

At this time, Suwa was on the fourth floor.

After receiving the call, he opened the swing-up window in shock, leaned out, and looked up.

The muzzle of a black hole crashed into the field of vision—upstairs, the host held up the gun, smiled at him, and squeezed the trigger forcefully.

……

The bullet pierced Suwa's temple.The corpse slipped and fell, pressing down on the lower half of the window, and the up and down swivel window was closed tightly again.

Before the window was completely closed, the host let go and threw the gun into the room.

——In this way, it seems that "someone broke into the room where Suwa was, forced him to the window with a gun, and then shot him to death."

And 4 minutes of commercial time is not enough for the host to travel from the ninth floor where the studio is located to the fourth floor where Suwa is located.

In other words, alibi, at hand.

……

With a sneer, the host packed up all the props and rushed back to the studio.

He returned to his seat without incident, and nodded apologetically to the others.

The host didn't delay the live broadcast, and of course his temporary colleagues didn't say anything.

Only the young detective looked down at his calf.

The host was guilty of being a thief. After Jiang Xia looked away, he secretly lowered his head and looked at his trouser legs.

Fortunately, it looks clean and there is no strange thing on it.

Only then did he feel relieved, smiled and continued to host the show.

……

After the live broadcast, more people are looking for producers.

Suwa's body was soon discovered.

……

The Mumu Police Department came with a team and saw Jiang Xia in the crowd at a glance.

His expression became a little complicated in an instant.

"..." Brother Jiang Xia's luck in reciting words lasted too long.

Moreover, the frequency of Jiang Xia's encounters with cases, especially the frequency of cases where the criminals used fancy tactics, seemed to be a bit higher than that of Kudo's brother.

……

There are a lot of people in the building, but few people who are not suspected, which makes the detection of the case more difficult.

Fortunately, the time of committing the crime is quite clear - during the live broadcast, the host asked the staff to find Suwa, who was still alive at that time, so the time of the crime was set within 40 minutes.

Megure Police Department stroked his chin and pondered politely.

After 1 minute, he gave up thinking: "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"

Jiang Xia did not disappoint him.

The new brother's reasoning was as concise as ever: "The murderer should be Mr. Matsuo."

As she said that, as if she was afraid that someone would not know who "Mr. Matsuo" was, Jiang Xia pointed at the door intimately: "That host."

host:"……"

After he stayed for a second, he was furious: "How could I kill my friend?!" As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

... Regardless of professional ability, at least the acting skills are very qualified.

However, several police officers who had seen Jiang Xia's reasoning became vigilant and secretly surrounded the host.

……

The host found that the emotional card didn't work, so he had to start talking about the evidence.

He looked at Jiang Xia: "When Suwa was killed, I was always in the studio, didn't you just sit next to me!"

Jiang Xia nodded: "But when the commercial was interrupted, you left for 4 minutes."

"That can't be me!" The host really couldn't figure out why Jiang Xia would stare at him. It stands to reason that people like Jiang Xia who always stay by his side and have seen his movements with their own eyes are the easiest to be deceived.

This is also one of the reasons why the host will do it today.

One——This program invites all famous detectives.Only this time, the person who came was Jiang Xia, who had a small number of cases solved and was suspected to have come in through Yoko Kinoshita. He felt that it was the least difficult to fool Jiang Xia.

However, things were completely different from what he thought.

——The other detectives at least talked about the evidence, but Jiang Xia didn't hesitate from the very beginning, as if he was very sure that the murderer was him... What went wrong? !
