Conan's Corpse Picker

Mao Lilan was stunned, smiled and waved his hands: "How is it possible, they are all natives of Osaka, and they are only high school students, they will not suddenly transfer schools without reason at this time, they just come here to play."

"Is that so?" Okiya Subaru was a little surprised.Since it has nothing to do with the keyword "resignation".Why did Wu Zuo let himself continue to follow this group of people?Or, Uzo didn't actually mean that, and the cat made his own claim?

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia next to him seemed to think of something suddenly, and chatted with Mao Lilan: "Speaking of resignation, the 'Detective Kusugawa' Hattori is looking for seems to have resigned from the police and changed his career to become a detective—what a coincidence. "

Okiya Subaru: "...?" In this case, your friend's friend is probably dead now... Maybe your friend was also implicated.

While thinking, he observed Jiang Xia quietly, trying to see something from Jiang Xia's reaction.But no gain at all.

——Jiang Xia seems to have just made an ordinary association based on the key words he heard just now.And this is undoubtedly an extremely normal thing for a high school student detective. ...

Before he could see anything, a middle-aged man ran down the slope ahead.

"You are Jiang Xia, right?"

The middle-aged man ran up to them, looked around them curiously, and his eyes quickly fell on Jiang Xia.

He enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Jiang Xia: "I am Noda from Kuwado Detective Agency, I heard that you were looking for me just now?"

As he said that, Noda recalled all the reports he had seen before, and couldn't help but pat Jiang Xia's shoulder familiarly, as if recruiting talents: "If you still want to be a detective after graduation, you are welcome to come to me at any time! ——We The firm can also be ranked first in the country.”

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, compared the crime rates of Mihua Town and Kuboto Town, and politely refused: "I already have an office."

"Haha, you haven't graduated yet, that's just a part-time job. Even if it's a full-time job, you can change jobs." Detective Noda felt that the problem was not a big deal, and said enthusiastically, "Young people should not be too rigid in their thinking. Now that society is developing rapidly, new jobs are becoming more and more important." More and more..."

Halfway through, the detective's intuition made him suddenly alert.

Turn around sharply.Next to him, the elegant-looking young man was staring at him quietly—Okiya Subaru's lens reflected a faint light, and his eyes were complicated, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Detective Noda: "...?"

After all, it was blocked by the lens, he suspected it was his own illusion, and blinked vigorously.

When I took a closer look, I saw that Okiya Subaru had already looked away.What happened just now was like an illusion.

Detective Noda: "..." Maybe I made a mistake?

After all, he was still a little concerned, and Noda wanted to find out who Okiya Subaru was.But before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xia seemed a little moved after hearing his words: "It makes sense. Let me think about it... Shall I change my business card?"

As he said that, he changed hands and took out the business card. The movements were skillful, and he usually handed out to people a lot.

Noda Hong immediately forgot the strange feeling of peeping just now, and cheerfully took out his business card, and exchanged it with Jiang Xia.

……

Jiang Xia got it in her hand, glanced at the beautiful coat of arms of "Cupato Detective Agency" on it, thoughtful.

"..." I almost forgot that there is such a thing as a "store logo". Shouldn't "Amuro Detective Agency" also design one?The image of Reaper carrying a scythe is very good-it is dark and mysterious, which just fits its only two members of the organization.And the imagery is also very auspicious...

After briefly thinking about designing the store logo, Jiang Xia carefully put away the business card—he was indeed interested in this detective den in Cuphu.

And let alone graduation, it is still far away from being promoted to the third grade.It's better to agree first, and come to Cuphu to do some part-time tasks when you are free, and get to know more customers with stories by the way.

Next to him, Subaru Okiya watched the interaction between Jiang Xia and Detective Noda, and for the first time showed a genuinely shocked expression.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Is Jiang Xia going to resign? !Is it his turn this time?Speaking of which, Jiang Xia stepped on Wu Zuo's minefield so accurately... Could it be that he was thinking too much, wasn't Jiang Xia partnering with Wu Zuo to harm Toru Amuro just now, but did not solve the case immediately because of other reasons?

The situation is too complicated. The possible identities of Uzo, Toru Amuro, and Jiang Xia, as well as the possible connections between them, are intertwined like a mess, making Okiya Subaru's head bigger than when he wrote the thesis. It's even more difficult - after all, if you don't write a thesis well, you won't die, but if you don't solve the relationship well, you may be killed quietly one day.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Let's discuss it with the FBI when we go back—Mr. Akai looks like he has been in the organization for a long time and has a lot of experience. Maybe he knows what's going on.

Okiya Subaru walked wearily, numbly following behind the energetic high school students and detectives, like a humanoid self-propelled brain computer that was about to run out of battery.

This month, this book may issue a chapter with a monthly ticket (or it may not be released after review). Big guys can leave a ticket to read.

In addition, it's the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass! (σ≧?▽?≦?)σ-☆

1140【This detective must be dead】

Detective Noda finished digging people, and talked about business contentedly.

"You guys are here to ask Nan Chuan, right?" He glanced at the date and counted the days casually, "Actually, that guy hasn't answered the phone for two or three days—a while ago, I heard that he was busy with a big case, probably Don't have time to get in touch."

"No contact for two or three days?" Mao Lilan was taken aback, "Didn't you call the police?"

"Haha, for ordinary people, being out of contact for a few days may be scary, but for us private investigators, this is commonplace."

Detective Noda waved his hand and looked quite proud: "In order to obtain the information customers need, we can do everything from tracking, lurking, and even undercover. During this period, in order to prevent the identity of the detective from being exposed, we sometimes do not communicate with the outside world. Don't It’s been two or three days, and some have been missing for a year or a half—the person who received you today has been missing for two years. At that time, we were going to find his family members to obtain a death certificate, but he suddenly appeared again.”

Jiang Xia: "..." It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance, that person looks like an ordinary bald uncle, but he has such a story... I will go to Cupo Detective Agency later, I have to find him and ask for a piece of paper business card.

Forget it, I've come here, I just want to do it all - Detective Noda is right, colleagues need to communicate more and share cases.

"..." Subaru Okiya saw that they had strayed away from the topic, and couldn't help but burn a stick of incense to that "Mr. Kusukawa" in his heart.

It may indeed be common for detectives to disappear for two or three days.

But now, with the inclusion of Uzo, things may not be that simple...

……

Kubado Detective Agency was not far from the coffee shop, and several people quickly entered the house.

Jiang Xia turned around and came back, thinking about the business: "By the way, have two people who look like high school students come to you? One of them is a high school student detective from Osaka, um... just blends in with the background of the picture. The one that is one."

Detectives generally have good memories.

Detective Noda quickly understood who Jiang Xia was referring to: "You mean the detective with an Osaka accent. They came here at noon and they were also looking for Nanchuan. I told them that Nanchuan was not there, and they asked me for Nanchuan's address, and then left."

While speaking, he had written the address on the note neatly and handed it to Jiang Xia.

——Cupatocho 202-chome, there is Jiuzhuang [-].

……

Four-chome is not far from here.

Jiang Xia called out the map, and quickly rushed to the place with a few people.

Youjiuzhuang is a two-storey apartment with a rather old style.It has no unit door and can be accessed along the side outdoor stairs.

"202...is this one?"

Jiang Xia stopped at the door of one of the houses.

A note was pasted on the door, with ugly handwriting on it:

[I will be back before noon, please put it at the landlord's place by courier. ]

Jiang Xia pressed the doorbell smoothly.No one came to answer the door until the doorbell rang.

Okiya Subaru looked at the thin door, quietly sniffing the surrounding air, trying to distinguish the smell of corpses.

"It's already past noon. Is something delayed?" Mao Lilan couldn't help being a little worried, but soon, she thought optimistically, "Perhaps when He Ye and the others came, Mr. Nanchuan just rushed home, and then The three of them went out to discuss things together, so I didn’t have time to remove this note—go to a nearby coffee shop, maybe you can find them.”

Jiang Xia glanced at the corner of the door: "It may also be that Mr. Kusukawa didn't come back at all. Hattori and the others followed the traces and disappeared together." He pointed to his feet.

Conan was even shorter, and he quickly discovered the tape on the corner of the door.

This piece of tape is pasted in the very inconspicuous lower right corner, with one end attached to the door frame and the other end attached to the door.If someone breaks in while the owner is away, it will be torn open, leaving a trace of "the door was opened".

At this point, one end of the tape has come off, and...

"There is a lot of dust on the tape." Conan also began to feel that something was wrong. "Based on the words of Mr. Noda just now, Mr. Kusukawa probably never came back after he went out. Since Hattori has been here, it means that he may have discovered something. Some clues, follow the past..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly remembered that there was still a Subaru Okiya standing next to him. Conan was startled, and hurriedly made a patch, showing a child's innocent smile: "—Brother Jiang Xia must think so!"

"Well." Jiang Xia looked at the closed door of the room, then at Conan, and said pointedly, "It would be great if I could go in and have a look, there may be important clues hidden inside."

Conan met his gaze and understood in seconds:

Some things are not suitable for high school students to do, but elementary school students can become outlaws. For example, elementary school students mischievously broke into other people's homes, causing law-abiding high school students to follow in and catch people out.

Conan: "..." Well, from this point of view, being smaller is not without benefits... Although when I was Kudo Shinichi, I did a lot of things like sneaking and picking locks to break into houses, but Now at least you don't have to worry about being sent to the bureau.

He raised his hand to hold the doorknob, tried to twist it, and reached into his pocket with the other hand to search for the wire.

Before taking out the door prying tool, the door was opened directly.

Conan: "...the door is not locked?"

... After going out for so long, it was not locked. I always feel that the atmosphere of the incident is getting stronger and stronger.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xia poked him on the back.

Conan came back to his senses, pushed the door open like a bear child, and ran into the house, Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan quickly chased him in.

Okiya Subaru, who has witnessed everything: "..." The detective is really unscrupulous in handling cases, even the children are not spared.But after all, this is for the sake of saving people and justice. Compared with those detectives who directly pick the door and pick the lock, Jiang Xia is already very good...

Okiya Subaru: "..." Having said that, Conan is really different from other children, his reaction is so fast that he doesn't look like a child.Could it be that after staying with Jiang Xia for a long time, he was infected with the aura of genius?

...or something like just now, they've done it many times?

As he thought, he waited cautiously at the door.

I didn't hear Mao Lilan's screams, nor did I smell the stench of corpses.

Okiya Subaru regained his composure, and walked into the room cautiously with some doubts.

……

The house was unexpectedly clean, with no traces of fighting or rummaging, as if it had been broken into.

Okiya Subaru looked around and found that the three people who went in before were all gathered in front of the desk at this time, looking down at the pencil scratches on the desk.

"Someone used a pencil to scribble a note here, accidentally over-smeared it, and drew it on the table." Jiang Xia took the note pad on the table and compared it with the imprint on the table. The size was exactly the same.

Happy Children's Day!

Thanks for the [Monthly Pass] (σ≧?▽?≦?)σ-☆

Make up more.There are two more today

1141 [Itos]

"It should be Hattori. He found that Mr. Kusukawa wrote on the note, but the note with the writing was torn away, so he wanted to see what Mr. Kusukawa wrote through the imprint on the next piece of paper... It's an old but common method."

With that said, Jiang Xia also picked up the pencil and painted it over.
