Conan’s Corpse Picker

Then the fat police officer turned to Dr. Tanaka and motioned to Jiang Xia: "I don't know if you doctors like to watch the news. This is a famous high school detective in Tokyo who has cracked many difficult cases. Leave this case to him. There must be no problem!”

After all the introductions were finished, the fat police officer looked back and forth between his two thighs and said in an embarrassed low voice: "To be honest, this kind of thing rarely happens here. I actually don't know how to deal with it... It's up to you two." It’s up!”

When Dr. Tanaka saw Jiang Xia, he returned to his cold look.

He looked at the detective provocatively for a moment, planning to do an autopsy: "Then I'll go check it out first."

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly met a vicious gaze.

——The woman with the high ponytail stared at him fiercely, as if she believed he was the murderer.

"..." Dr. Tanaka tuied, bypassed her, went to the corpse, frowned and complained, "Rude guy."

…

On the beach.

Dr. Tanaka squatted on the side of the body, lowered his head to observe for a moment, and said to the police in a relaxed tone:

"The details have to be checked at the hospital. Only after I have the data from the instrument can I issue a report.

"But you don't have to worry. It seems that this was suicide at the moment - look, there are no resistance wounds on the deceased at all. I guess she took a boat to the sea by herself, tied stones to her ankles, and then jumped off. "

The fat police officer nodded repeatedly: "So that's it."

Next to him, Dr. Utsumi mingled with the crowd of onlookers and turned away silently.

After all, he is in Tokyo and is well-informed: If Jiang Xia were not here today, of course such a fool policeman could easily deceive him, but now...

Sure enough, Jiang Xia squatted on the other side of the body, facing the doctor across the body. She looked down for a while, and soon began to argue with him:

"The lack of resistance means nothing. If you knock someone unconscious and then throw them into the sea, there will be no wounds.

"In addition, she seems to have strange scratches on her armpits - when normal people are conscious, they usually droop their arms naturally, or retract their arms to make instinctive protective actions. In short, it is difficult to avoid it in this state Elsewhere, just accidentally leaving wounds on the armpits.

"This is more like the scars left by someone using some kind of tool to support the deceased's armpits after she lost consciousness."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Dr. Tanaka: "So why do you want to define this as suicide so much? Could it be that it was actually you..."

Dr. Tanaka had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Hearing this suddenly, he immediately frowned and interrupted: "I'm warning you, you will be prosecuted for talking nonsense!"

"Huh? Did I say anything that could lead to prosecution?" Jiang Xia looked at him with her chin in her hands, a helpless expression that said, "You're making too much of a fuss." "I just speculated on certain possibilities like you, and then asked I asked a few questions, and I didn’t even finish asking them.”

"You...!" Dr. Tanaka's forehead twitched.

Among the crowd of onlookers, Dr. Utsumi looked at Jiang Xia's calm look, and then looked at Dr. Tanaka: "..." I don't know why, but I always feel that I am about to lose another chess piece that can be blackmailed.

...The detective is really in the way.

…

However, Dr. Tanaka seemed to be calmer than Utsumi Kazuhiko imagined.

He didn't know what he thought of, but he was certain in his heart, and he calmed down quickly: "Really, I'm really sorry. I just don't want to believe that there is a terrible murderer in this small town, so I hope it is suicide - since you If you think it’s not the case, just take the body back to the hospital for examination and let’s speak with the facts.”

Next to her, the woman with a high ponytail seemed to have gained courage from Jiang Xia's suspicion.

She suddenly said angrily to Dr. Tanaka: "Stop pretending, you murderer! Mitsuko would not have committed suicide. You must have killed her. How could a normal person be as ordinary as you when facing the body of his ex-girlfriend?" Attitude, you act as if you don’t even know her!”

The fat police officer was startled: "Ex-ex-girlfriend?"

"That's right! This guy." Gao Ponytail pointed at Dr. Tanaka fiercely, "He is obviously engaged to Mitsuko, but a while ago, I heard from his friends that he was about to get married to the daughter of the director of a big hospital. ——It must be because of this that he thought Photon was in the way, so he secretly killed her!"

"Don't be slanderous!" Dr. Tanaka's face turned ugly. "I just changed my girlfriend. Could this also be a motive for killing?"

"Yes." Someone from the crowd of spectators suddenly echoed.

——The dark-skinned man who drove the speedboat just now ran over to watch the fun at some point.

He looked at the corpse on the ground and smiled understandingly: "It must be after the breakup that this woman found that she could not climb a high branch and could not bear the loss. Coupled with the needless self-impression, she finally committed suicide shamelessly. ——Haha, there are many such cases every year, this is not a strange thing."

Next to him, the woman he called "Sachiko" tightened her clothes and looked unhappy when she heard these words.

Kasuga Teruhiko turned around and caught a glimpse of her expression, and said in surprise: "Hey, what's your expression? I'm not talking about you, or am I actually that kind of woman, so you took it in yourself?"

Nakamura Yukiko looked at him, bit her lip, her face turned pale: "I am with you because I like you."

"Really?" Kasuga Teruhiko touched her head and laughed, "Just kidding. It's really ugly to look at your face - okay, we have nothing to do here. Let's go get something to eat. I'll I haven’t eaten much, I’m so hungry.”

The two men left quickly.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked in their direction, their eyes a little disillusioned: "..." Adult love is really complicated.

…

In any case, the most urgent thing at the moment is the autopsy.

The female body pulled out from the sea was quickly sent to the hospital for further examination.

The fat police officer looked at Dr. Tanaka, who was in charge of the autopsy. He hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to a little of what Jiang Xia and the woman with the high ponytail said: "Well, I'll go too."

He originally planned to go back and wait for the results like before.

But now it seems that he feels that it is best to follow him and keep an eye on him, and find other doctors to accompany him - although he does not want to offend Tanaka, an enthusiastic doctor, but if the murderer is really him...

"Alas..." The fat police officer sighed.

The murder case is so troublesome.

…

Preliminary results from the autopsy were soon available.

Half an hour later, in the office of the police station.

"First of all, I need to explain that this was tested in the presence of other doctors and police." Dr. Tanaka looked at Jiang Xia and Gao Mawei who were present, and said proudly, "Some people should stop saying that I used the autopsy to , destroy incriminating evidence.”
