Conan’s Corpse Picker

When the short-haired woman placed the water glasses, Mrs. Nanjo introduced smoothly: "This is my husband's agent, Ms. Yoshino."

Yoshino Rimi looked very quiet, nodded slightly to them, and was about to retreat.

But at this moment, Mrs. Nanjo suddenly turned to her: "Bring that letter over here."

Yoshino Satomi was startled: "But Mr. Nanjo just said..."

"Oh, don't care what he says." Mrs. Nanjo knew that Nanjo Hayato didn't want to find a detective, but she wanted to. "He is always too confident and too bold. We can't always let him do whatever he wants - okay, hurry up Go get it."

Neither the couple nor the agent can afford to offend anyone.

Seeing Mrs. Nanjo's insistence, she had no choice but to nod and go to the back room.

When she went out again, Yoshino Rimi had an envelope in her hand.

Conan saw it from a distance and remembered that this was something in the entertainment industry. He suddenly felt that he understood something and whispered to Jiang Xia: "It's probably a threatening letter... Having said that, there always seem to be so many people on the set where Miss Yoko is..." What a disaster."

Jiang Xia glanced at him: "..." He remembered that not long ago, Conan was still worried about "Secretary Uzuo". However, now that the case has come out, the detective immediately focused on the case... His mind switches very quickly. .

While thinking about it, he couldn't help but reach out and knock.

Conan: "...?"

Before he could recover, Jiang Xia had already stood up and took the letter from the approaching agent.

When I opened it, it turned out that it was exactly what Conan said. It was a threatening letter:

[Tonight, I will take the life of Nanjo Hayato]

The signature was in large red characters, "Within the Death Array."

"Inside the Death Formation?" Mao Lilan also came to the side and looked curiously. When she saw the name, she said in surprise:

"Isn't this the character played by Mr. Nanjo? For a character, why would you kill the actor who plays it? Could it be that the sender is a fanatical fan of the character?"

"Inside the Death Circle" is a veteran movie that has been released in several series so far.

The protagonist of this series of movies is, of course, "Inside the Death Circle." This is a mysterious man in black robes who often appears late at night and takes the lives of some sanctimonious guys, just like the God of Death.

This popular character has always been played by Nanjo Hayato.

Unexpectedly, now, it was regarded as a signature, and in turn, it was intended to take the life of Nanjo Hayato.

Conan touched his chin: "In other words, in the eyes of the sender, Nanjo Hayato is a sanctimonious person who needs to be sanctioned, and is not worthy of playing the role of 'Death God' - has he offended many people?"

"..."

Mrs. Nanjo's eyes twitched slightly. If the person who said this hadn't been a child, she would have left in anger.

Yoko Kinoshita noticed her embarrassment and smoothed things over with a smile: "Actors always make a lot of enemies, and sometimes they even offend a large number of ardent fans just because of an inappropriate expression. If you ask this question, it will be difficult for Mrs. Nanjo to find an idea."

She turned to Mrs. Nanjo again: "Conan wants to help you. He must have learned these lines from the TV series. I don't mean to slander Mr. Nanjo. Don't take it seriously."

"..." Conan nodded awkwardly: Being a detective is really an art, and it's not good to tell the truth... Fortunately, Jiang Xia has not offended anyone so far.

Hmm, but even if Jiang Xia offends an angry client, the other party may not be able to beat him, and he will be beaten in turn... In this way, if he wants to work part-time as a detective after graduation, he will have to practice more Skills in force?

Seeing the straightforward child quiet down, Mrs. Nanjo didn't hold on.

Her attention quickly turned back to the threatening letter:

"This was found in my husband's suitcase today. Several of his clothes were also cut into pieces... He must be a dangerous person, otherwise he would not have done such a thing."

Mrs. Nanjo looked very worried about this.

Dr. A Li also mingled with the high school students and listened curiously.

Although he often makes small inventions that cause local chaos, in general, he considers himself a law-abiding citizen.

So when Dr. Ali heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "In this case, why didn't you call the police?"

"Huh, call the police?" A man's voice suddenly came from the door. "If you run to the police for protection over such a trivial matter, I won't be able to film my movie."

Several people looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a majestic face and thick lips standing at the door.

Mao Lilan, who was indiscriminately chasing stars, was startled, and her eyes lit up with surprise.

She eagerly took out her autograph book and whispered to Jiang Xia excitedly: "Nanjo Hayato, he is the living Nanjo Hayato! This is the first time I have seen him face to face. I have watched every movie in "Death Circle" I’ve seen them all.”

Jiang Xia: "..." Although I can understand Xiaolan's excitement, what does "living" mean... If Vodka hears this strange description, she will be labeled as a subordinate of Uzuo.

On the opposite side, Nanjo and his wife had no time to pay attention to the reactions of several high school students. They were still arguing about the threatening letter.

It seems that the two people have obvious differences of opinion - Nanjo Hayato does not want to find a detective and feels that the threatening letter is just a bluff, but Mrs. Nanjo firmly believes that he is being targeted by dangerous elements.

…

A few words of argument came down.

In the end, it seemed that Nanjo Hayato, the head of the family, had the upper hand.

Mrs. Nanjo lowered her head helplessly and said nothing.

Nanjo Hayato looked at several high school students with disdain.

His eyes swept over Dr. A Li, Haibara Ai, Conan, and Mao Lilan in turn, feeling that these young and old people were joking with him:

"Having said that, even if something happens, what use can you guys do? It's better for me to protect myself - well, it's none of your business here, just go and have fun wherever you want. Today's young people, In order to get an autograph, I would do anything, huh, and even protect..."

Nanjo Hayato waved to a few people impatiently, telling them to leave quickly, and then entered the inner room alone, as if he had something to do.

Jiang Xia was given an expulsion order and didn't stay long.

He looked at Nanjo Hayato's back, stood up, and entered the corridor.

Several other people also hurriedly followed.

Haibara Ai breathed in the fresh air passing through the corridor, covered her lips and yawned: Although she was dissatisfied with Nanjo Hayato's attitude towards Jiang Xia, she also didn't like the way he looked at her like a "little brat". But now that she didn't have the commission, she felt relaxed and felt like it was time to go back and catch up on some sleep.

However, at this time, Mrs. Nanjo grabbed Jiang Xia and whispered furtively: "I'm so sorry, he has such a disobedient temper. Don't be angry - well, let's continue with the commission. .”
