Conan’s Corpse Picker

"In addition..." Uzuo looked down at Subaru Okiya's phone and smiled, "I want to contact Akai Shuichi personally. You are so sensible, you will definitely not disrupt your boss's schedule without authorization."

Okiya Subaru remembered his move to send a message to Akai Shuichi just now, and nodded extremely stiffly.

Uzo then looked away from him and left the room.

When he passed the door, Miss Spider, who had been waiting quietly by the door, turned around and followed him naturally, like a loyal secretary who never left his side and was always waiting for dispatch.

The two men in black walked out one after another, and disappeared from Okiya Subaru's sight under his extremely complicated gaze.

…

Jiang Xia entered the corridor, scattered the puppets in the blind spot of his sight, and returned to his original body.

Of course, he didn't forget to leave a ghost behind before leaving - although Subaru Okiya looked like he had given up on escaping, he still wanted to be just in case.

In addition, in addition to preventing him from escaping, this can also have some other uses: Jiang Xia always feels that this little brother has been very bad luck since he left the country. If he comes to the last step of bringing him back to the country, he suddenly dies accidentally, It seems like a bit of a loss.

Consciousness returned to the original body, and the originally fuzzy noise suddenly became clear.

Jiang Xia was sitting in the auditorium. Before she could open her eyes, she was pushed a few times by Inspector Asa: "Don't sleep! Something happened!!"

After pushing the detective, Inspector Asa cursed and rushed to the stage: "That guy better stop playing tricks on me! If I find out that he is tricking us to get on stage again, I will give him a hard kick, no matter who he is. It’s not a stage effect!”

Jiang Xia rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction he was running. He found that the props previously used on the stage had been moved away, and now there was only a large water tank standing on the stage.

The water tank is like a fish tank, surrounded by transparent glass and with a heavy iron lid on top. Looking from a distance, you can vaguely see an upside-down figure in the water tank.

Next to him, Hui Yuan Ai turned to look at Jiang Xia, and saw that he was looking at the stage, as if he still didn't know what was going on, so he came closer and explained in a low voice:

"This scene is a water escape magic. First, the magician's feet are handcuffed to the iron cover, and then the machine lifts the iron cover and covers it with the person on the top of the water tank. In this way, the person will be loaded into the water tank upside down. Then the assistant will lock the iron cover and put a curtain on the water tank to block the audience's view.

"According to this magician's previous style, his original plan was probably to make us mistakenly think that he was drowned, and then suddenly appear outside the water tank in the chaos.

"But when the assistant pulled up the curtain again just now, the magician was still in the water tank. The assistant was also stunned, as if something had happened."

Haibara Ai looked at Inspector Asa who rushed towards the stage, and whispered: "But I think this time, it may be the same as last time, doing a performance effect - you see, although the assistant seems to be stunned, but the magic The master's apprentice, the stage photographer, was still taking pictures of the scene in the water tank. And if there was an accident, he would probably find a way to save the person."

"Is that so?" Jiang Xia thought for a moment, frowned and stood up, "I'll go over and have a look too."

He quickly ran to the stage, and when he passed by the auditorium, he found that the audience on both sides were also noisy. It seemed that they also had many differences of opinion. Some thought it was a stage accident, maybe the magician had died. , and some thought this was another wonderful performance by the magician.

Jiang Xia ran to the stage and just jumped up when she suddenly found someone jumping up next to her.

Although Conan's legs were not long, his jumping ability was surprisingly good. As soon as he landed on the stage, he ran quickly to the water tank - he went to the bathroom just now, but when he came back, he realized that the atmosphere was not right, so he rushed over immediately.

Several people quickly gathered around the water tank. Inspector Asa was tapping the wall of the water tank, but the magician inside was floating with the water and showed no reaction.

Jiang Xia turned to look at the two beautiful female assistants. Unlike last time, when the magician faked his death on the steel knife bed, the two assistants had obviously been given instructions and acted very calmly. But this time, they seemed at a loss and didn't seem to know what to do next.

At this time, the script artist and prop master backstage reacted, and the script artist's voice quickly rang in the assistants' headsets: "What are you doing standing there in a daze! Quickly open the lock on the lid and fish the person out!"

The prop master also clicked a switch to close the heavy curtain, instinctively preventing the audience from seeing the accident. Then he operated the machine to lift the lid of the water tank.

The lid rose, and the magician hanging on it also emerged from the water. His face was pale and his body was dripping with water, like a water ghost who had just been caught ashore. As soon as Mao Lilan lifted the curtain and jumped onto the stage, she saw this terrible scene.

"ah--!!"

She let out an instinctive scream.

At the same time, he instinctively took out his mobile phone and started calling an ambulance.

…

A chaotic first aid, especially the closed curtain, finally made the audience below realize that something was wrong.

Haiyuan Ai was stunned for a while, then pulled Dr. Ali along with him and quietly slipped onto the stage from the side.

As soon as he found Jiang Xia, who was helping to compress his chest, Haiyuan Ai saw a camera lens passing by.

She was startled, and looked closely, and found that the magician's apprentice, who was wearing low-key black clothes, was still filming the first aid scene from all angles just like during a normal performance.

Haiyuan Ai remembered her wrong guess just now, her eyes twitched, and she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you still filming?"

The apprentice paused and sighed. He looked at the magician who was being carried away after resuscitation failed, and turned off the camera.

…

Although the master is dead, the apprentice is still taking pictures, which seems a bit strange.

But thanks to the apprentice’s subconscious photography action, many images of that time were left behind.

"Look carefully, look carefully!" On the stage, Inspector Asa paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. While watching the video played on the screen, he said to the police officers who had just arrived, "There might be something left here. We have discovered the murderer's fatal flaw, and we must find out the madman who dared to kill people on stage!"

Jiang Xia was watching the videos when he suddenly noticed that the curtain next to him opened and closed slightly - all the members in the circus were called over, and the person who entered the door at this time was the low-key Okiya Subaru.

Jiang Xia saw him sneaking around and trying to reduce his presence. He raised his hand and said hello to him: "Come on...Mr. Tanaka."

Inspector Asa had been spying on Jiang Xia, hoping to find out the target of the detective's observation by observing the detective, and then find out the murderer.

At this time, Jiang Xia looked at Okiya Subaru, and he immediately noticed this person.
