Conan's Corpse Picker

——The place is covered with tatami mats, and there are many blankets. You can sleep on the spot, and the environment is comfortable.

……

The next morning, Jiang Xia woke up in chaos.The sound of running, screaming, and the squeaking of a police car came faintly from my ears.

He sat up, rubbed his eyes, asked politely, and learned that the young lady died suddenly.

—she "hanged herself" in the pottery warehouse this morning.Those who have just left are still warm.

Beside them, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were close together, with complicated expressions on their faces, but their fear was much less than before—they were actually a little used to frequent murders.And this time, the young lady left relatively peacefully, at least the whole body was left behind.

……

When Jiang Xia came to the warehouse, the police had already arrived.

This time, it was finally no longer the old acquaintance Mumu Police Department.

It was a strange male police department with coral-like hair and a square face.

After the Henggou Police Department saw Jiang Xia, their expression changed slightly, and they were eager to come over and ask for an autograph—in this world, detectives are generally well-known.In private, the Henggou Police Department is actually chasing all kinds of famous detectives like star chasing.It also includes Jiang Xia.

But after struggling for a long time, remembering that he was still dealing with the case, he managed to retain his majesty as a police officer and stopped where he was.

"..." Let's wait until the case is closed.

……

Jiang Xia didn't know why the policeman was always staring at him.

He looked curiously at the coral head of the Henggou Police Department, and soon lost interest in this peculiar hairstyle, and turned to look at the scene of the crime.

——Before Jiang Xia arrived, other people had already arrived and conducted a simple search of the scene.

Toru Amuro saw him enter the door, walked over and said in a low voice, "It's a bit strange—her cervical spine is broken."

People who hang themselves usually die from cerebral hypoxia, and a small number will die tragically from cervical spine rupture.

But this time, judging from the young lady's body shape and hanging position, her cervical spine was broken unnaturally.

Jiang Xia's "reasoning" is already very proficient.He nodded, and said in a normal voice: "The young lady probably didn't hang herself by stepping on a clay pot, but was first wrapped around her neck by a rope, and then fell off the top of the cabinet next to her.

"If it's a suicide, there's no need to make it so fancy, so it could be a murder - like someone put her on top of a cabinet while she was drunk, and put a noose around her neck. This morning, when the young lady woke up, she turned over and accidentally fell from the top of the cabinet, breaking her cervical spine.

"In this case, the murderer is probably Mr. Sufu. When he turned around just now, I saw a lipstick mark on the back of his inner shirt. At the dinner last night, the young lady was sitting next to me, and Mr. Sufu Opposite me, the young lady was sent back to the room by Mr. Otani, there should be no contact between the two of them. The lipstick mark should have been printed in a more concealed situation - for example, in the middle of the night, Mr. Mino put the drunken When the young lady carried it on top of the cabinet.

"Ah, look, there is a protruding iron nail on the top of the cabinet, and there is a wound on the young lady's calf, maybe she was scratched by the nail when she fell."

……

The Henggou Police Department has been listening to Jiang Xia's high-speed reasoning.

At this time, he reacted quickly, ran to the nail and looked at it, and said excitedly: "There is really a little skin here!"

Toru Amuro: "..."

Also found doubts, Conan sneaked over and was about to discuss with Jiang Xia: "..."

other people:"……"

... This reasoning speed is unscientific!

Another apprentice looked at Jiang Xia blankly: "Did you wake up in the middle of the night and saw the scene of the murder..."

"He didn't!" Suzuki Sonoko interrupted, "I was afraid that the young lady would go back to the restaurant in the middle of the night to look for him, and kept holding his arm. If Jiang Xia went out in the middle of the night, I would definitely find out!"

Apprentice: "..." What kind of image does Young Madam look to you!

……

Although the testimony of Suzuki Sonoko sounds very unreliable.

But in fact, even if there were no witnesses, no one doubted that a high school student detective would get up in the middle of the night and leisurely watch the murder scene.

Only Toru Amuro doesn't quite trust Jiang Xia's conscience in this regard.

However, Toru Amuro didn't fall asleep much last night - in his conception, there might be some "dangerous person trying to eavesdrop on the organization's secrets" hiding nearby.

In addition, after dinner yesterday, a group of people slept on the spot in the restaurant covered with tatami mats.

Therefore, Amuro Toru is the most certain that Jiang Xia has not followed the murderer out.

That is to say, the information Jiang Xia just said was really deduced by him one minute after he entered the warehouse.

……

In the past, Amuro looked at the reports of Jiang Xia's case-solving and didn't have much sense.

After all, the murderer is written in bold in the title, so there is no suspense in reading it.

But now, he and Jiang Xia have the same information, and even arrived at the scene earlier than Jiang Xia.

However, just when he judged that "this is not like suicide", Jiang Xia actually pushed the murderer out...

It was the first time that Toru Amuro realized the talent of this apprentice so clearly.

"..." It was a wise decision to agree to Jiang Xia's part-time job.

And such a talent was almost used as cannon fodder by the organization and shot to death...

In the thick notebook in Toru Amuro's heart, there was another account.

Chapter 86

Mino Suo looked at the script-like detective in front of him, and cold sweat kept streaming down his temples.

In just a few seconds, he has become the focus of everyone's attention.

This kind of rapid development made Suo Mino's mind go blank—in order to kill the young lady, he prepared hard for several months and rehearsed more than ten times.

But now, Jiang Xia just walked in and took a look, and it didn't even take a minute to see through his subtle tricks.

"..." Mino Suo struggled for a while, but couldn't make up a suitable explanation.

A second later, he finally failed to withstand the pressure, plopped on his knees and began his monologue.

……

Following the handcuffs of the police, they fell on Suo Mino's wrist.

This time, without waiting for Jiang Xia to hint with his eyes, the three ghosts quickly picked up the shikigami on Mino Suo's leg, as well as Mino Zongzhi's murderous look of relief after seeing his son-in-law arrested.

Mino Moto's motive for killing is very typical - he started to cooperate with the young lady a few years ago, and most of the "Kukemon's works" sold by the young lady are from the hands of Mino Moto.

But during this time, Suo Mino's technology has gradually improved, and his ambition has grown.He felt that he had a good chance of inheriting the title of "Kikuemon".And once he has this title, his works don't have to worry about the sale at all, so Mino Suo wants to terminate this kind of cooperation that may leave a dark history for himself.

However, the young lady disagreed.Now she can control the housekeeping while her father-in-law is still there, but once the title of "Kikuemon" is handed over, her situation will not be as moist as it is now, so she just wants to make more money now.Seeing that Suo Mino was not very cooperative, the young lady threatened him to give the title of "Kikuemon" to someone else.

The death flag was inserted firmly like this.

……

Mino Suo faced the police, unwilling to confide in the bitterness.

Jiang Xia tidied up the murderous aura she had just picked up.

When he raised his head again, he saw Toru Amuro holding a pottery, thinking about life.

Jiang Xia took a closer look and found that it was the tool Mino Suo used to assist in killing people - there was a hidden compartment inside it, and a mobile phone of the same model as the young lady was fixed inside.

This is the prop used by Mino Suo to control the time of the young lady's fall.Meinong Suo put the young lady on the top of the cabinet, put a rope around her neck, and then put the clay pot with the mobile phone on the cabinet below the young lady.

This morning, he called the mobile phone. When the young lady heard the familiar ringtone, she closed her eyes and turned over to fumble for the mobile phone. She immediately fell off the top of the cabinet and was hanged on the spot.

……

Its pottery pot of the same style will appear on the organization's site, just because the young lady accidentally sold the killing props made by Mino Suo when she was arranging the pottery, which caused it to flow into the market. He is very talented in pottery, and he is extra careful when making the killing props, so objectively speaking, this clay pot is of a very high level.

Toru Amuro stared expressionlessly at the hidden compartment of the pot.

——I didn’t expect that after so many days of tracking, I would come up with such an oolong result... No wonder I couldn’t find any "suspicious people with intentions about the organization".

However, as a resident of this world, Toru Amuro is used to being disturbed by murder cases.

With a sigh, he handed the pot to the officer, intending to say goodbye.As a busy man with several jobs, since this matter is over, he must get back to the activity as soon as possible and continue other work.

……

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko came here by tram this time.

On the return journey, Suzuki Sonoko tried to rub the car.

Toru Amuro wanted to refuse at first—it felt weird for an organization member with a lot of secrets to mix with a group of students for no reason.

But next to him, Jiang Xia nodded so fast that Amuro Toru had no time to speak.

Toru Amuro: "..." At this time, it would be too blunt to forcefully refuse.

And speaking of it, since he wants to develop a new undercover agent, it is indeed necessary to understand Jiang Xia's interpersonal relationship - Jiang Xia has a very friendly attitude towards his classmates, so it is not bad to take this opportunity to observe the situation.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro took out the tires on the back seat, and under the bewildered gaze of Mori Ran and Sonoko Suzuki, he put away the mousetraps to make room for them to get on the car with the elementary school student. .

Toru Amuro had a good idea—Izu is not too far from Tokyo, only two or three hours away.You can start working immediately when you arrive, and you can also observe Jiang Xia and his classmates on the way.

However, after walking for a while in the woods, the car body suddenly shook.

Chapter 87 Tire Breakers

Jiang Xia was sitting in the co-pilot, and before she opened her eyes, she heard the ghosts whispering to each other.

Now there are more ghosts and they are a bit noisy, but I can still tell what they are expressing.

——There is something nearby to pick up.

Jiang Xia looked outside through the car window, and at the same time, he skillfully let Shikigami fly into the trunk, skillfully condensed a little white puppet, and skillfully shattered the tires in the trunk.

Toru Amuro knew nothing about the tragedy that was happening in the trunk.

When he realized that the car had a flat tire, he was slightly taken aback and pulled over to stop.

Toru Amuro used to drive ten times, and the tire probably only blew once.But now, he was on a normal business trip, driving without speeding, and unexpectedly had a flat tire twice...

Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia next to him, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the conclusion he had drawn before—Jiang Xia might not be lucky, but jumping back and forth between extreme good luck and extreme bad luck.

Otherwise, the car would always break down halfway around Jiangxia.
