Conan's Corpse Picker

Like the protagonist who sneaks into the villain's secret room alone, accidentally finds a thick secret letter, peeps and gains a lot of information.Originally, he thought it was the dawn of victory, but when he excitedly turned the secret letter to the last page, there were no longer those confidential words on the page, but only two lines dripping with blood—"Congratulations, you have Gained. But unfortunately, you know too much, so please stay here forever" ... something like that.

Toru Amuro wanted to treat this increasingly suspicious fresh-keeping box with caution.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to do anything, Jiang Xia had already opened the lid first.

"..." Fortunately, nothing happened...

Amuro sighed, and then let go of the question mark on Jiang Xia, cleared his throat nonchalantly, squatted down next to the fresh-keeping box again, and checked carefully.

Jiang Xia looked at him and vaguely guessed something.

So he also squatted next to the fresh-keeping box, fanned the wind inside, smelled it, and said in surprise, "It seems to smell like an anesthetic... You just guessed that there are other dangers in the box, so you suddenly backed away?"

Toru Amuro: "...cough, um." Let's take it as it is...

……

In the lower layer of the fresh-keeping box, there is nothing but small ice cubes frozen with anesthetics and some crushed ice.

He put those medicines back in place, at this moment, Jiang Xia's cell phone rang next to him.

Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone and took a look, and found that the caller was "Officer Sato".

He looked around, and suddenly realized that he was breaking into the house illegally, so he turned and walked towards the door, and at the same time answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Jiang Xia? Where are you now? The test results are out." Miwako Sato's breathing sounded rough, as if she had just finished some bad exercise:

"Same as the first speculation you gave, the deceased seemed to have inhaled an anesthetic before he was alive. Someone must have put him down first, and then strangled him from the front, so there was no sign of him struggling.

"But the strange thing is that we didn't detect fiber fragments on the skin of his face, or traces of covering his mouth, and there were no needle holes on his body... If someone really attacked him with an anesthetic, it may be a very powerful drug. Strong spray.

"In addition, Mr. Katagiri, the python who made a big noise at the venue just now, is finally willing to communicate with us peacefully-this guy actually has an alibi. When the deceased died, he was in the venue with many friends."

Jiang Xia: "..." He thought of Miss Jinghua who rushed over with her sleeves up just now, and vaguely understood the reason why the python Katagiri was willing to "peacefully communicate".

At the same time, he also heard the meaning behind Miwako Sato's words "want to hear the answer".

So he took the initiative to say: "The anesthetic used to bring down the deceased should be contained in the flower pinned to his chest."

Said, Jiang Xia looked down at his chest.

There is a blooming rose adorned there: "The theme of today's banquet is 'Flower Arrangement', and the organizer has also spent a lot of money. All the guests who enter the venue will have a staff pin a flower on their chest, as a sign of the guests. certificate.

"Although most of the flowers are in full bloom, there are also some flower buds that are just about to bloom. The flower that the deceased is wearing should be this kind - its flower center is wrapped with a kind of tiny ice grains, and the anesthetic is frozen in the ice grains .

"After wearing it, the ice cubes slowly melted at room temperature, and the flowers gradually bloomed, releasing the anesthetic wrapped in it. It floated upwards, right into the mouth and nose of the deceased, and made him fall into a deep sleep. After that, the murderer could kill easily. "

"So that's how it is." Miwako Sato suddenly realized.

After realizing it, I suddenly felt something was wrong: "...Small ice particles? Why do you know so clearly?"

...Could it be that Jiang Xia, like the other detectives, began to move evidence without authorization.

Officer Sato thought of Jiang Xia who was diligent in taking notes, not disturbing the scene, and calling the police first when he found evidence, and couldn't help but feel sad.What a good detective, why...

On the other side of the phone, Jiang Xia seemed guilty for a while, then changed the topic as if nothing had happened, and talked about the business:

"Just now, the boss and I felt that Ms. Okano and the others were a little suspicious, so we went into the lounge to take a look while they were away. Then we found a bottle of hydrocyanic acid silicide that was about to run out, and those ice-cold anesthetics. piece……"

Miwako Sato: "..." Boss? ...is that blond-haired black-skinned mixed race detective?

...A nasty adult detective who led an honest high school student detective to trespass into other people's rooms and develop a habit of breaking the law.From this point of view, Jiang Xia is getting more and more lazy to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes, probably because of this person.

However, now is obviously not the time to care about these things.

Thinking of the "hydrocyanic acid silicide" in Jiang Xia's words, Miwako Sato immediately grasped the point and decided to turn a blind eye to other things: "Come out quickly, don't be seen by others. I will find someone Use an excuse to search the house, and get Okano Rika and her assistant under control as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Jiang Xia has already reached the door.

He hung up the phone and opened the door.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Toru Amuro had restored the fresh-keeping box just now and walked to the door.

The two left quickly.

……

Toru Amuro also heard what Jiang Xia said on the phone: "Since the things are in their room, the two people are probably related to the case. Hydrocyanic acid silicide will vaporize quickly at 25.7°, and those 'flowers' must be stopped as soon as possible." Bloom."

Jiang Xia nodded: "From the moment the guests entered the arena, the temperature of all the flowers pinned on the chest has returned to normal. The same is true for the decorative flowers placed in the hall. If the murderer intends to continue to use flowers to poison, they use flowers..."

Having said this, the two of them just walked out of the passageway.

Jiang Xia looked at the stage from afar.Looking sideways, I can catch a glimpse of the background scene.

There are several baskets of flowers.Okano Rika and her assistant were surrounded by fresh flowers, and the buds of all the flowers were tightly closed - Okano Rika is good at making all the flowers bloom suddenly at the moment of finishing the flower arrangement, and now, those flowers are naturally Still in a closed state.

Chapter 1054 Death Caress

In the corner of the banquet hall, a group of policemen in plain clothes walked back and forth.

Jiang Xia glanced around the hall, and soon saw Miwako Sato standing near the stage, speaking into the intercom in a low voice.Officer Sato noticed his gaze, looked over, and nodded towards Jiang Xia.

——Understanding the reason behind President Shiraki's death, she also knew what to do now.

……

On the stage in front of the banquet hall, a beam of light was quickly cast.

"Today is the commemorative reception for Ms. Okano Rika who won the World Art Award. Thank you for taking the time to come!" The host tried to make his voice as relaxed as possible.

According to the pre-planned process, at this time, there should have been an introduction about "President Shiraki" and related speeches.

However, just now, the host was notified—President Shiraki suddenly disappeared.Of course, these procedures had to be cancelled, otherwise the body bag could not be lifted up.

After the host announced the opening, he went straight to the topic with a bit of embarrassment:

"Then next, please enjoy Okano-sensei's flower arrangement performance!"

……

Okano Rika stepped onto the stage, looked down at the celebrities in the audience, bowed to the audience vigorously, and her assistant stood respectfully behind her.

After a brief speech, Okano Rika arranged the vase, inserted a few dry branches, and then moved to the side of the stage in an elegant dance, ready to hold the buds out to complete the shape behind.

However, when we got to the place and reached out to get the flowers.

She suddenly found a person standing beside her flower basket.

——Jiang Xia was holding a palm-sized spray bottle in his hand, and was looking down at the basket of flowers on the ground.

When Okano Lixiang looked at him suspiciously, Jiang Xia suddenly bent her fingers slightly and pressed the switch of the spray bottle.

laugh--

A burst of white mist gushed out in a cone shape, covering the flower basket.The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the flower buds that were supposed to bloom at a good time suddenly shrank back when they suddenly encountered the cold.

"...What are you doing?!" Okano Lixiang was furious - her performance required extremely high temperature and time.Those flowers will bloom at the calculated time, but Jiang Xia suddenly refrozen the flowers... Then wouldn't she have to wait for the flowering, and dance on the stage for a long time, so that the flower arrangement and the flower blooming match up? !

...this is a shameless act of vandalism!

She angrily wanted to rush over to stop him.

But before he could make a move, there was another similar sound of "嗤——" and "嗤—" all around.

"?!"

Okano Lixiang turned her head in disbelief, and saw not only the basket of flowers in front of her, but also all kinds of lilies and roses...all surrounded by the police, they sprayed the air conditioner cautiously, then opened the bag with a clatter, and put Flower tightly entangled tightly.

"...What are you doing?? What are you doing?! Ozaki! Stop them!"

Okano Lixiang was furious like never before. How dare this group of bastard police force terminate her dinner party without her consent? !

Assistant Ozaki Cui stood behind her, watching all this silently and with complicated thoughts, without moving.

"Miss Okano, Miss Ozaki."

A hand rests on each of their shoulders.Miwako Sato glanced at her colleague from the forensics department next to her.The other party held a set of reagents, nodded solemnly to her, and told her that the closed buds were indeed poisonous.

Miwako Sato then continued to say to the two people: "You are suspected of poisoning in public and killing Daisuke Shiraki. Please come here and cooperate with the investigation."

"..." Okano Lixiang was stunned.

She stared at Officer Sato, and after a while, she looked at Ozaki Tsui.

She knew in her heart that she did not poison, let alone kill anyone.So the killer is...

……

After a few minutes.

"motivation?"

Ozaki Cui laughed, and pinned her drooping sideburns behind her ears. Her expression was still so gentle and humble, but the words she said didn't have much to do with "gentleness": "—Of course it's because Shiraki and this woman deserve to die."

"You, what did you say?!" Okano Rika couldn't believe that this little assistant dared to say such a thing.But remembering that Ozaki Tsui had just strangled Shiraki to death, and almost succeeded in killing her, she dared not go over.

Ozaki Tsui looked up at the reporters who were eavesdropping around the police, and suddenly said:

"This flower arrangement technique was pioneered by my sister.

"Rika Okano was my sister's student at that time—my sister taught her everything without reservation, but after she learned it, she took the initiative to hook up with Daisuke Shiraki.

"Rika Okano knew that with my sister around, she would never be able to get ahead, so she teamed up with Daisuke Shiraki, and Daisuke Shiraki made her No. 1 in 'Avant-Garde Flower Arrangement' and suppressed my sister everywhere.

"My sister managed to get out of the blow of betrayal by the students, but her new skills and performances were nowhere to be shown. Those involved were all afraid of Daisuke Shiraki's power and rejected her. In the end she...she..."

The flashlights of the reporters joined together, illuminating Ozaki Tsui's angry face and Okano Rika who was slumped to the ground.

……

Beside, Toru Amuro glanced at the number of flowers and sighed:

"Fortunately, it was stopped in time, otherwise not only a few people on the stage, but also other guests in the hall..."

Halfway through the speech, he felt that this didn't seem like what "Bourbon" should say, so he added a sentence nonchalantly: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble with us. Even if we don't die, we will inevitably have to go to the hospital a few times."

After finishing speaking, Toru Amuro thought of something and looked down at the phone.

There were a few more messages on the phone, but after looking at them one by one, they were all daily emails, and there were no letters from "Uzo" that he was particularly concerned about.

Toru Amuro: "..." It stands to reason that Uzo should have reacted to the fact that he stopped the "bloody fireworks".But now...

Could it be because Wu Zuo's eyeliner is cooking upstairs and doesn't know the changes here?
