Conan’s Corpse Picker

He picked up the buckle and pulled it, and the keychain in the small box was revealed.

It was a red statue - a military general with a waist-length beard, riding a tall horse, and holding a long-handled moon sword in his hand.

Mao Lilan has learned history well and knows famous historical allusions very well. She said in surprise: "This must be Guan Yu."

"That general from the Three Kingdoms?" Yuan Shan and Ye had also heard of this celebrity, and were very confused at the same time, "...why did you give us a Guan Yu?"

Mao Lilan liked this unique key pendant very much and looked at it back and forth: "I heard that Guan Yu is also a god who can bless people's business prosperity."

"Hmm..." Yuan Shan and Ye stared at Guan Yu's horse and sword, "They don't look alike."

"The Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the Red Rabbit Horse are Guan Yu's standard equipment. Legend has it that this horse can travel thousands of miles in a day and is very powerful." Mao Lilan put it on the table, "Okay, let's pack the things we bought first."

There is a harmonious atmosphere in the Maori Detective Office at the 5th-chome of Yoneka Town.

…

On the other side, before asking for the alibi, Jiang Xia and the others followed the Gongchang Police Department to the Metropolitan Police Department - they had some understanding of the case in advance, and they might be able to uncover more critical details when they inquired later.

The Gongchang Police Department quietly took out the evidence bags from the previous times and placed them on the table for several detectives to see.

Each of the small transparent bags contained a red horse with burn marks on it: "This is left at the 1st-chome of Rizen Town, the 2nd-chome of Toriya Town, the 3rd-chome of Okuho Town, and the ones I got just now. Yes, 'Red Horse' on the 4th-chome of Cupido Town."

Several plastic horses are placed together, and they look exactly the same.

However, among them, the first horse was particularly badly burned, and it also had a blackened base underneath, while the other horses did not.

Jiang Xia picked up the special bag, turned it over and looked at it, fast forwarding slightly: "There seems to be a word for 'rabbit'... plus the color of the horse, this is the famous 'Red Rabbit Horse', right? ."

"That famous horse that appeared in the Three Kingdoms?"

Hattori Heiji quickly made an association: "That Feng Shui master should be very familiar with this historical knowledge. And he also has a motive - if the house burns down, the cheating video tape hidden inside will naturally disappear with it. Now Mrs. Morokaku If he is dead, his cheating can be completely covered up."

Hearing them mention the "motive", Officer Fat Zhang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But he is not the only one who is suspicious. According to our investigation, the four people you provided who appeared near Zhujiao's house all have certain motive for murder.

"——The parents of the deceased just passed away not long ago. They only have two daughters. Because the deceased brought a son-in-law to the family, the parents left all their inheritance to her. Now when she dies, the considerable property will be transferred In the name of her fortune teller sister.

"There is also the husband of the deceased. He is a psychiatrist. He has always wanted to sell the house at home and build his own hospital, but the deceased refused to agree - the land was inherited by the deceased from his parents. . In addition, there is no guarantee that the deceased would not know about the affair. In this way, the motive will be more sufficient."

"well……"

The police are most afraid of encountering such a large number of dead enemies, and the difficulty of handling the case will often skyrocket.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the dead seem to have this characteristic.

"Random guessing is not the answer, why not go directly to them and ask." Hattori Heiji and Conan stood up eagerly. As detectives, their preferences are completely opposite to those of the police - the more troublesome the case, the more they arouse their fighting spirit.

but……

"..." Suddenly remembering that there was Jiang Xia standing next to him, Hattori Heiji's interest suddenly weakened a little.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia, who had wandered to the window at some point, suddenly said goodbye: "You guys go, I remembered that I haven't finished my homework yet, so I need to go home first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. His movements were so natural and quick that the other three people in the room didn't even come back to their senses.

Officer Gongzhang stayed for a while, and then he touched the back of his head belatedly: "I almost forgot, you are still students... Well, why don't you guys go back to do your homework first?"

"...I've already finished it on the first day of vacation!" Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched. He really didn't want to mention "homework" that would ruin the style of the painting during the serious time of solving the case.

"I don't have any homework."

Conan also expressed his desire to continue investigating the case.

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, glanced at the door where Jiang Xia left in confusion, then avoided the police, and whispered to his friend Hattori Heiji: "Eang Xia didn't do his homework at all, he was probably just making excuses. "

"!" Hattori Heiji suddenly became alarmed, "Could it be that he has discovered traces of important clues and wants to find them behind our back and solve the case secretly?"

Conan: "...No." Although Jiang Xia must be doing something secretly behind their backs, I'm afraid it's not just to solve the case...

Conan thought of the miserable prisoners who suddenly disappeared with Jiang Xia and then suddenly appeared again;

Thinking again, the partner this time was not the police from the third department who had been dealing with Jiang Xia for many years and were familiar with his habits, but a relatively unfamiliar department... He began to regret that he hesitated just now and forgot to stop the person.

"Quickly go find those suspects and inquire about the situation!" Conan stood up quickly, "We must find them before Jiang Xia!"

…

However, it was different from what Conan thought.

Jiang Xia did run to find one of the suspects, but he just had a little peaceful and friendly conversation.

Just now, Jiang Xia looked out of the window and suddenly saw the deceased's husband, the psychiatrist, walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After all, the deceased had the closest relationship with him, so Zhu Jiaoming had more procedures to go through than others, and he had just left at this time.

…

Amuro Detective Agency happened to be near the Metropolitan Police Department. Jiang Xia was very familiar with the roads in this area. He quickly took a shortcut and stopped him, saying friendly greetings: "Hello."

"!" Zhu Jiaoming was distracted when he was suddenly stopped by someone and was slightly startled.

He raised his head and saw Jiang Xia, his eyes moved slightly, but soon became calm again: "It's you, little classmate. What do you want from me?"

Jiang Xia showed a friendly smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly met someone familiar, so to be polite, come over and say hello."

Zhu Jiaoming quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he was halfway relaxed, he suddenly heard Jiang Xia say: "But you seem to be panicked, why? - Are you hiding any important clues from us?"
