Conan’s Corpse Picker

Toyama Kazuha: "..." Heiji is indeed a bit darker, but does he really look that suspicious?

Hmm, so to speak, he seems to have scared children to tears, especially when he smiled at them in the middle of the night...

…

After identifying the "suspicious person" Hattori Heiji, the two high school students thought for a moment and then remembered something:

"By the way, we also saw a weirdo walking out of the annex - he was obviously wearing a full set of kendo protective gear, but he was also carrying a bag containing the protective gear on his back. The bag was bulging, as if he had stolen someone else's protective gear. Same."

"!" Otaki Police Department thought of the huge protective bag, calculated the dimensions in his mind, and his eyes lit up.

"That's it! It seems that the murderer used a protective bag to transport the body. There was a kendo competition held here today. The murderer passed by wearing protective gear. Even if he looked a little weird, he would be regarded as a thief at most, and no one would think of the murder. !”

After understanding the method of transporting the body, and considering that the college students who had just argued with the deceased were very suspicious, the Otaki Police Department speculated:

"In this case, the captain is actually the most suspicious. After killing the deceased, he placed the body in the warehouse, and then sent the others to find the deceased. After the others left, he could rush to the warehouse first. The other three watched After seeing the body, he hurriedly scared him away, and the team leader took the opportunity to move the body to the swimming pool. Although Tsuguchi classmate immediately went to the kendo arena to look for him after seeing the body, there were many people wearing protective gear and covering their faces today. It must have taken a while to find the trunk."

…

As he was talking, there was a commotion next to him.

The little police officer guarding the door was startled, as if he had discovered something, and shouted: "Hey! Children, this is not a place for you to run around! ... Wait, where did you sneak in from?"

He walked behind the high school students - behind their loose robes, there was a first-grade elementary school student wearing glasses.

The elementary school student who sneaked into the scene was rubbing his chin in deep thought.

At this moment, he was suddenly picked up by the collar, and he came back to his senses.

Conan struggled not to leave. At the same time, faced with the Otaki Police Department's speculation, he loudly said: "But uncle policeman, how strange! If that's the case, how could the captain completely predict the reactions of the three witnesses - not only Make sure they go to the warehouse to find someone, and make sure that all three of them leave the scene after seeing the body. Compared to the captain, the other three people are more likely to control this matter, especially the brother who suggested looking for the warehouse."

As he spoke, Conan's whole body was carried by the police officer, his voice gradually faded away, and he moved towards the door.

"Wait!" At the critical moment, Jiang Xia waved his hand and stopped him hastily, "This is the child who was with us. He got lost just now, but luckily he was picked up by you - if we drive him out, he will definitely run around again. First, Leave the people to me.”

"Ah?" The young police officer looked at him and was startled.

After a brief pause, Conan, who had received support, had already nimbly twisted around and broke free from the policeman's hands. After he landed, he went straight to Jiangxia, Yuanshan and Ye's legs.

The Otaki Police Department looked down at him and recognized the child who had given a lot of useful suggestions at the crime scene, so he nodded to the subordinate who ran to catch the child, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

…

Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the young police officer walking away with lingering fear: Tokyo is better, the Osaka police are too unfriendly.

But fortunately, I met the police department I knew and Jiang Xia Zhongyi lent a helping hand, so I didn't have to worry about being thrown out for the time being.

Thinking like this, Conan regained the feeling of being at the crime scene. He turned to Jiang Xia and asked, "What do you think?"

After asking, he suddenly froze - in the past few days, he and Hattori Heiji were used to exchanging opinions and comparing the progress of solving crimes. For a moment, he didn't realize that the person on the opposite side had changed.

Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at him, remembering that the murderer's murderous intent skyrocketed after Conan's words "It's so strange." He pointed to Yuanshan Heye in a friendly manner: "Heye wrote down the clues just now. You just arrived. , there are still a lot of things you don’t know about—you can go out with her and have a look."

Conan felt that Jiang Xia's wording was a bit strange: "Go out and see?"

Isn't Jiang Xia always willing to let him stay at the crime scene? Why this time...

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia stood up again and turned to the group of people from the university kendo club: "The murderer should be..."

Conan: "...!!!"

…

"The murderer should be..."

Following Jiang Xia's words, the police, suspects and several witnesses all focused their attention on him.

But just before that crucial name blurted out, a strange, twisted, indescribable song suddenly sounded:

"Use a singing smile~~carve the dazzling sun~~in your heart~~~take control of the future~! Didan, Didan, Didan Elementary School~!"

"..."

Everyone present froze for a moment, and fell into a dead silence for a short time.

Conan, on the other hand, was humming innocently to prevent himself from hearing the answers to the riddle that he didn't want to hear right away. At the same time, he pulled the dull and petrified Toyama Kazuye, planning to go outside and ask for known clues as Jiang Xia just said. , reason and play by yourself.

Two figures left from the door.

After a while, other people in the swimming pool came to their senses one after another.

Jiang Xia trembled silently, shaking off the horrible parasitic songs that had lingered in his mind for a long time, then cleared his throat and continued the topic.

He looked at Jun Otekawa: "You should be the murderer."

The bathing room where they were was prone to amplifying sounds. Jiang Xia had heard a little bit of the power of Conan's singing before, but the others were completely unprepared.

Jun Otekawa's head was buzzing. When he heard Jiang Xia talking to him in a calm tone, he subconsciously replied: "Yes."

The Otaki Police Department slowly came back to reality and looked at him curiously: "...huh?!"

After receiving such a glare, Kotekawa woke up: "No, no, it's not me! I didn't hear what he asked clearly just now... He took advantage of the situation. This is fishing for law enforcement! And didn't I just say that I don't have the skills to transport a corpse! "

Jiang Xia was also slightly mentally attacked. He didn't want to argue with him at this time and went straight to the point. He planned to solve the case as soon as possible and then let Osaka classmates share a little bit of his mental pain.

He looked at the Otaki Police Department and said quickly: "Actually, there is no need to transport the body. We just need to let the body walk from the sports warehouse to the locker room of the swimming pool."

At the door, Mao Lilan, who had chased Conan all the way to the nearby area and wanted to follow the sound and come in to take a look, heard these words as soon as he stepped into the house.

She imagined her walking corpse, shuddered silently, her face turned pale, and she silently retracted her feet. She felt that she had come at the wrong time - the topic going on here did not seem to be suitable for her.
