Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 166 This is not Jiang Xia’s fault! Asking for monthly ticket(つヮ)

Conan lifted up the hem of his clothes, peeked inside secretly, and saw familiar signs of beatings.

Conan: "..."

He was dazed for a moment, then swung the lifted clothes back up tightly, and carefully tucked them into his waistband, instinctively covering up Jiang Xia, who was "brave for justice".

Then Conan stood up and looked back at Jiang Xia, who was "sleeping" beside him.

Not far from Jiang Xia's hand, he saw a rolling pin falling quietly, and there seemed to be some faint cracks on it.

"..." Conan thought for a moment and understood with complicated emotions.

No wonder this time, Jiang Xia's reaction when "hanging up" was different from the last time in "Sherlock Holmes Journey": last time Jiang Xia just sat and distracted, but this time he fell asleep directly.

Now it seems that this is not a "stress disorder after being in love with the scene" at all, but a sleeping pill mixed into the coffee.

Yi Zhilong may have wanted to take the opportunity to use the nearby pool to drown Jiang Xia. It's just that the cold water briefly woke Jiang Xia up, and instead gave him a good beating...

Conan: "..." Speaking of which, in the previous murder case, Jiang Xia seemed to have beaten the bandaged murderer who broke into their room while sleepwalking... Fortunately, Jiang Xia was so alert in his dreams, otherwise this time , maybe I really need to let Iljitaka succeed.

…

Ichijitaka was hit hard by two groups one after another, and was so completely knocked out that he couldn't wake up for a while.

After a while, Jiang Xia slowly woke up - the wet clothes on his body were too cold, and he couldn't sleep well, so he wanted to change into something new.

Soon, other people came back from the woods one after another.

Then they were told that their old friend Yi Zhilong attacked Jiang Xia. The technique used is the same as when pressing the Nikaido, except that the scene is no longer a fountain, but a sink in the kitchen.

"How could he kill someone?!"

The digital harem were a little shocked at first. But thinking of the tragedy two years ago, I suddenly fell silent again.

After a while of silence, the young talents still felt that there were many mysteries, and couldn't help but mutter: "But if the murderer is really Ichitaka, why did he attack Jiang Xia, and where is Miss Lihua?... Did he just open the window and sneak in? It’s Miss Lihua who’s in the woods, are they accomplices? Is she helping Ichitaka lure us away?”

Jiang Xia wiped her hair and walked out of the next room. Hearing this, he shook his head: "If Mr. Nikaido was the only one who was attacked, then this situation is indeed possible. But I was also attacked like that just now. Well…I think Ms. Yotsui’s current situation is probably not too good.”

The young talents who were still thinking about becoming a son-in-law were startled and suddenly became alert: "What do you mean? Where is she now?"

Jiang Xia lowered her head and thought for a while, and gradually seemed to have an idea: "When we were searching the villa just now, did you check the bathtub or other places that can store water?"

"I should have checked them all." The others looked at each other for a moment and vaguely understood, "You want to say where Miss Lihua will be hidden?!"

General Rokuda suddenly remembered something, stood up suddenly, and rushed out.

Others were startled: "Where are you going?!"

Rokuda Shoji explained as he ran: "The bathroom on the west side of the first floor was inspected by Ichige Takashi! The light there 'happened' to be broken, and I didn't see what was going on inside. At that time, Ichijia Takashi said there was no one inside, I didn’t go over to check. But if he is the murderer behind the scenes..."

The others followed him to the bathroom, and were a little confused: "But, why is Miss Lihua hiding in the bathtub?"

Conan heard someone ask a question and couldn't help but answer: "After experiencing the first two attacks, if a third drowned person suddenly appeared next to the pool at this time, what do you think would be the cause of her death?"

Brother Mawei copied the question: "...Drown?"

Conan nodded: "To be precise, he was drowned by his head pressed into the water - just like Nikaido and Jiangxia brother before. And according to the inertia of thinking, if we see Miss Lihua die in the future, When you were at the waterside, you would immediately think that she was drowned by the murderer on the spot, rather than delayed by the rising water, so that Ikjitaka could easily obtain an alibi."

After answering the crowd's questions, Conan breathed a sigh of relief: It's really convenient to have Jiang Xia by his side. When he doesn't act like a child, just say "Brother Jiang Xia said that" and everything will be settled...

…

While talking, a group of people walked through the corridor and came to the bathroom.

They pulled open the shower curtain, looked down at the bathtub, and were shocked: "Miss Lihua!"

——Reika Yosui sat back in the bathtub, fixed to the wall of the tank by dense tape, like a heavy cocoon. The water had just reached her chest, and her mouth and nose had not yet been submerged.

The young talents swarmed over her like a bride, intending to "hero save the beauty" and fish Reika Yotsui out of the bathtub.

But soon, they were stunned again.

Gojo Osamu said in horror: "She's not breathing!"

…

Yotsui Reika in the bathtub has been dead for some time.

Ilji Takashi was afraid that she would wake up and yell out, alerting the keen detectives, so he blocked her mouth and nose very tightly. Reika Yotsui's body was also tightly restrained, and her breathing was blocked. In the end, she suffocated to death before the water rose to her face.

The young talents carried Reika Yotsui to the restaurant and tried to give first aid without giving up.

Although Conan felt that the person was hopeless, it was difficult to say this directly. So he stood by and helped the young talents correct their first aid movements - although they wouldn't be needed this time, what if these people encountered a similar situation again one day. There are so many endangered people, and there is always a need.
