Conan’s Corpse Picker

When Miwako Sato heard what "Kuroba Kaito" said, she couldn't help but glance at him: "..." Could it be that people with this appearance have the talent to be detectives?

But Jiang Xia looks different from them...

Her mind wandered for a moment.

Then he quickly shook his head and came back to his senses, looked at the independent house in front of him again, and said seriously: "Go in and take a look."

…

Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door of the house suddenly opened and the owner of the house appeared at the door.

She was a rather lean-looking woman with high cheekbones, long hair dyed brown, and tied into a neat low ponytail at the back. But her dress at this time did not match the temperament of a strong woman - she was wearing an apron, holding a rag, and was immersed in cleaning the door.

While wiping, he shouted to the two cleaners who were washing the car: "I just took a look and the house is still very dirty, especially the living room! Remember to rework it later - I will pay three times the high overtime pay." , not for you to deal with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head, saw the people at the door clearly, and was startled: "Are you..."

"Megure from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department." Police Department Megu showed his police card skillfully, "I have some questions to ask you."

The owner's face changed slightly.

After a moment, perhaps to show that she had a clear conscience, she nodded calmly and made way into the house.

…

When a group of people entered the living room, as the light became brighter, Nakamori Aoko, who was quietly watching next to her, was suddenly startled.

She looked at the owner of the house in surprise: "I seem to have seen you somewhere?"

The owner of the house didn't reply, but Jiang Xia helped her complete the information. He looked at the owner and said, "Are you the management of that gallery? In the gallery before, after the homeless man was driven away by the manager, you showed up and asked about the situation. Right - Speaking of which, I remember your expression was a bit scary at that time, as if you were thinking of something through the manager's description of the homeless man."

"Oh?" Memu Police Department's eyes lit up. Although there was no evidence yet, he always felt that the case seemed to have a clue - the detective guy with a Kudo face next to him also seemed to have a good future as a detective.

When the owner of the house heard Jiang Xia's words, his expression was a little ugly, and he snorted coldly: "It is indeed me you are seeing. But so what? - Do I still have to smile when I see strange people entering my gallery? welcome?"

However, several police officers obviously trusted the detective more and were not fooled.

Hayase Junxiang regretted letting this group of people in just now. She took a deep breath and stood up in a hurry: "I'll pour you tea."... By the way, she sorted out the thoughts of her speech.

…

After she left, the Mumu Police Department looked at Jiang Xia: "Is this the place drawn in the sketch book of the deceased?"

Jiang Xia took out her phone and turned it on, looked at the photo album, and nodded:

"The scene outside is the same, and the shape of the house is the same, but the furnishings inside the house have all changed." He bent down and looked at the floor and the edges of various furniture. "Judging from these traces, the decoration style is not a recent one." It may have changed a few months or even a year ago.”

Next to him, Nakamori Aoko looked at him in surprise.

Although I have known for a long time that Kaito is smart and can easily solve crimes, but he... is actually helping the police?

And he was just reasoning normally, without any weirdness or teasing?

Nakamori Aoko: "..." It's a bit strange...

However, seeing "Kuroba Kaito" seriously solving the case, as a person with a strong conscience, she was too embarrassed to step aside. Nakamori Aoko always felt that she had some clues, but she was not sure whether she should tell them.

At this moment, "Black Feather Kaito" suddenly looked towards her. As if he had understood Nakamori Aoko's hesitant movements, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"!" Nakamori Aoko felt a little encouraged when he saw it. She pointed at the wall carefully, "The painting on the wall looked familiar. It was very similar to the signature painting on it when I received the gallery flyer. At that time, it was It’s obviously still for sale.”

"In this case, it may be because the gallery is about to close down, so this Ms. Hayase brought it back recently." Jiang Xia looked at Nakamori Aoko's face, and inexplicably had the ability to cultivate a physique from childhood events. The adult Mao Lilan's sense of accomplishment encouraged, "A very useful clue."

Nakamori Aoko blushed: Kaito is really good at talking today...wait, isn't this becoming more and more suspicious?

As she thought about it, her eyes couldn't help but fall on Jiang Xia's face.

——I heard that Kaitou Kidd is good at disguise. He can easily disguise himself as various people and sneak into the tightly guarded police team. He can also disguise others as him to confuse the public.

Nakamori Aoko: "..." If Kidd asked his companion to disguise himself as "Kuroba Kaito" and come here to accompany him... then Kidd's companion is surprisingly a good person.

"..." No, no, no, this doesn't seem to be the focus of tonight.

Nakamori Aoko took a deep breath and remembered the experiences her father had told about her battles of wits and courage with Kidd. She looked at Jiang Xia and curled up her slender fingers: If she found a chance to pinch his face, could she? Verify your conjecture?

Jiang Xia caught a glimpse of the movements of her fingers from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his face went cold.

Jiang Xia: "..." Nakamori Aoko is actually harder to fool than the Nakamori Police Department. Be careful not to let her get the chance to tear her disguise apart.

It really doesn't work...

Jiang Xia looked at Xiaobai floating around at the crime scene, and thought about the special anesthetic needle in her pocket, and felt certain.

…

This time, it was Nakamori Aoko's turn to feel the chills.

She didn't know the dangers of the detective society where anesthesia needles were flying everywhere, so she subconsciously turned her head to look at the window. As she moved her gaze, she suddenly discovered something else.

Nakamori Aoko said "huh?" and pointed to the photo hanging on the wall in surprise: "Isn't that portrait the same homeless uncle we met? The aquiline nose and cheekbones are exactly the same!"

"Where is it?" Several dull policemen looked up and were startled.

There is indeed a black and white photo hanging on the wall of the living room. Because of the dull color and the fact that it was hanging in a dimly lit corner of the room, the police failed to notice it immediately.

The person in the photo has a thick beard, glasses, and sharp eyes. He is indeed a very recognizable appearance.

Just at this time, the owner of the house seemed to have calmed down and came over with a tea tray.

Sato Miwako pointed to the portrait and asked her: "Is this...?"

Hayase Kimika glanced at the photo: "It's my husband. What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia opened someone else's account tonight, and his speech was not as tactful as usual: "We just found a corpse by the river. He looked the same as the person in the photo."

"Then you got the wrong person." Hayase Junxiang looked at him with a smile, "My husband died a year ago."
