Conan's Corpse Picker

However, looking up and down, there was no one outside the building, and there were no ropes left to escape.

The little police officer carrying the searchlight sighed: "It seems that he escaped with a hang glider again."

... However, I don't know if it's an illusion, but when Kidd dazzled their eyes with a lamp, he always felt as if he saw something strange by the window, like a person with wings.

But how can a person grow wings, he must have misread it.

After thinking about it, the little policeman suddenly felt that something was not right.

He came back to his senses and turned to look at the Nakamori Police Department.

Just this time, after Kidd escaped, the Nakamori police department unexpectedly did not scold him severely, nor shouted "I will definitely catch you next time!" or other declarations.

The middle-aged police officer just tugged at his mustache, thinking about something suspiciously, looking preoccupied.

The little policeman was feeling strange.

But at this moment, he saw something and said in surprise: "Police! You, you have a piece of paper on your back!"

"Huh?!" Police Department Nakamori came back to his senses, touched it with his backhand, and really felt that the touch was wrong, "Take it off and let me see!"

……

Several policemen frantically helped him tear off the paper on the back completely.

I saw a few lines of arrogant words written on it:

[Temporary resignation today.

See you tomorrow night at 8 o'clock]

The inscription is "Phantom Thief Kidd", and a stick figure expression is drawn next to it: the Q-version portrait is wearing a striking top hat and monocle, grinning, which is Kidd's unique signature.

When the Nakamori Police Department saw this familiar painting, the forehead twitched, and finally returned to normal.He shouted angrily: "This bastard thief!"

It was only after seeing the notice that he noticed the crown full of precious stones on the ground next to it.

Nakamori Police Department picked it up, checked it carefully, and put it back on the flannel in the showcase.

At the same time, I couldn't help but goo: "That face just now..."

The more he thinks about it, the more he looks like the guy who lives next door, the guy who looks very similar to Kudo Shinichi, only with a different hairstyle—Kuroba Kaito!

……

On the other side, Kidd felt the night breeze of freedom, and heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the exhibition hall and the police in the hall go away quickly.

——A professional magician must always be prepared in advance to deal with various situations.For example, when the performance fails, how to coolly throw out a notice letter of "come again next time", pretending that everything is still under control.

Of course, that note was written by Kidd in advance.Every time he takes action, he will carry such a strip with him as an emergency.

The process of taking away the crown just now was interrupted by the miraculous operation of the Nakamori Police Department.

Kidd put it up reflexively, planning to open it again tomorrow night.

……

The two quickly flew to a nearby hideout.

Just as Kidd stood firm, he suddenly heard a faint voice from the side: "If you have time, put a sticker on the policeman's back, why don't you pick up the crown and take it away?"

Kidd: "...!"

Jiang Xia looked at him speechlessly.

In fact, he was not surprised by Kidd's overturning: when Conan and other detectives are nearby, Kidd can often break through all kinds of strict defenses, fight wits with the detectives, and finally use superb techniques to achieve his goals. Leave, leaving behind a back, a legend, and a group of angry policemen.

However, when there were no detectives but only the police, Kidd would always act as if he was considerate of the police, and something would happen to him.

Jiang Xia: "..." However, when something goes wrong, something goes wrong, how can you give up halfway when you are a strange thief?

I actually left the crown behind, it was clearly at my feet at the time, as long as I stretched out my hand...

……

Next to him, Kidd was stunned when he heard this question, and then felt guilty for a while.

After a while, he recovered, cleared his throat, and said with a serious face: "Phantom thieves have the principles of phantom thieves. I didn't expect their actions this time. It's a failure—ordinarily speaking, I should come back tomorrow."

……

This is half true.

As for the actual reasons, one is that Kidd was really flustered when he was seen by the neighboring police department, and he didn't care about the crown and gems for a while.

The second is "bending down in a hurry to pick up things that fell on the ground when escaping". This kind of behavior really doesn't look like a chic monster thief, but more like a thief who does anything for treasure, which doesn't conform to his art.

Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, so why not steal it again tomorrow.

In addition...

Kidd sighed: The scene was chaotic just now, and I don't know if the Nakamori police department can see his face clearly... If he can see clearly, come again tomorrow night, maybe he can do some remedies.

After finishing speaking, he thought that Wu Tiangou would be quite disdainful of such a principle, and maybe he would fight back to knock the policeman's wings out, and arrogantly take the crown away.

Unexpectedly, after taking a sneak peek, the monster brother next to him gave a thoughtful "hmm", as if he reluctantly accepted his statement.

Kidd: "..."... What a considerate and friendly monster.

What to do, I suddenly feel a little guilty, should I just lose face and pick up the crown?Anyway, the police were dazzled at the time, and couldn't see what was happening around them. The only crowd watching was Wu Tiangou who didn't speak martial arts... No, no, no, no matter what, when you are a monster thief, you must be principled.

1244【Bourbon: I killed the reward offerer? 】

Kidd struggled for a while, and suddenly remembered that the incident had already happened, and the crown had already returned to the hands of the police, so there was no point in thinking about it.

So just put it aside.

"Compared to this..." Kidd recalled the scene just now, and he was still very concerned after thinking about it.He turned his white top hat anxiously, "Did the Nakamori Police Department see my face clearly?"

……

In short, harvesting the energy core failed.

Jiang Xia temporarily retreated with the puppet of Wutiangou, and decided to come back tomorrow night.

Fortunately, counting the time, it is not difficult to get the crown before going to Osaka.By then, Kidd should have gotten rid of the risk of being suspected by the Nakamori Police Department—after all, the Nakamori Police Department and the Megure Police Department are on the same level of lake mud, so it is not difficult to find a way to get over the lake.

……

When I got home, it was already late.

Jiang Xia yawned, packed up and got ready to sleep.

Before going to bed, he swiped his phone as usual, wanting to see if any client sent him an invitation letter by email.

However, it does not.

But there is one more piece of news from Sonoko Suzuki——

[When I was packing my luggage just now, I found that there were a few tickets to the art exhibition given by Ms. Ichikawa in the bag. I heard from Ms. Ayako that the gallery is about to close down, and there are a lot of non-sale items for sale recently.Tomorrow I plan to go for her, you want to come together! ]

siluke" siluke

"Miss Ichikawa" was the woman who injected poison into red wine and attempted to kill her father at the banquet in Mie County last night.

Before the incident was exposed, when the two parties contacted, she did say that she was opening a gallery and handed over a few tickets.

Jiang Xia thought about the occurrence rate of places like "art exhibitions", and replied without hesitation, "See you tomorrow." - Of course, why not.

I just forgot to discuss going to Osaka before, so I will talk about it together tomorrow.Then you can go to Osaka to grab... to see Kidd.

Jiang Xia is quite satisfied with what she got from checking her mailbox today.After replying to the message, he quickly fell asleep with peace of mind.

……

On the other side, someone couldn't close their eyes.

——It may be that Dr. Utsumi's social relationship is relatively simple, and his career has always been stable, so it's not that difficult to clean up.

In the early hours of the morning, the account of the "Reward Poster" on the forum had been canceled by the organization.

……

In the night, Toru Amuro didn't pay attention to using his eyes to sit safely in the darkness, and the laptop screen unfolded in front of him glowed faintly.

He took a sip of the coffee next to him, and refreshed the interface just now.

Then one thing was confirmed.

The reward for killing Jiang Xia suddenly disappeared.

On closer inspection, the publishing user has also been logged out.

——This means that the mysterious poster did not sensibly withdraw the reward after seeing the news of "Bourbon".Instead, he died suddenly, and now, the organization has cleaned up the person's belongings and family members who knew about it.

Toru Amuro stared at the news, tapped his fingers on the rim of his coffee cup, lost in thought.

"..." It's no wonder that when I ran into an elite member who had dealt with several times just now, the other party looked at me with a strange expression.

Looking at the situation before and after, especially the reward note posted by "Bourbon".To those who don't know, it looks like Bourbon killed the guy who posted the bounty.

……

However, as "Bourbon" himself, Toru Amuro knew in his heart that this had nothing to do with him at all:

He really wanted to find out who was offering the reward.But he's only just getting into the investigative phase.And even if it is found out, he is actually more inclined to secretly capture and torture people than to kill people.

Toru Amuro: "..." So how did this person die?

In retrospect, this series of cases about doctors happened so coincidentally that someone was manipulating them behind the scenes—this feature is really in line with the characteristics of "Uzuo", and people can't help but suspect that this cadre is involved.

But if Wu Zuo wanted to kill someone, he would definitely not use this kind of forum where peripheral members gathered to post a reward, and it was even more difficult to imagine that Wu Zuo would die so soon.

"..." Could it be that the publisher is actually Wu Zuo's subordinate or apprentice?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro's eyes dimly lit up:

If so, then the identity of the publisher will be much more important than he expected.For example, he might be able to catch clues related to Wuzuo through him!

So who is the real identity of the publisher?

Toru Amuro recalled what he had heard from Jiang Xiana earlier, and combined with his own guess, a candidate quickly appeared in his mind.

——The Utsumi doctor who inspired other murderers to talk about "medical malpractice" and finally died of threatening others with a video.

Toru Amuro: "..." Suspicious, in short, very suspicious.
