Conan’s Corpse Picker

Belmod faced the new doctor and kept smiling: "..." Everyone knew that Uzo couldn't be alone when he went out. In addition to his friends who used to lighten his mood, he had to reserve at least four people. of space.

Although she is not responsible for this matter at all, it is known that Uzo is in a bad mood, and it is definitely not him who suffers.

In normal times, Belmode might not bother to intervene. But this time, among the travelers were the two children she cared about most, so she could only put more thought into pretending to be in tune with Uzo.

Amid the commotion, two cars arrived at Izu Saito Hospital one after another.

"You are here!"

Matsuzaki Masahiko, who was guarding the hospital, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them. Although Toda Kiwako's current condition is unknown, he feels much more at ease with someone he knows by his side.

A group of people hurried to him to inquire about the situation.

Conan did not step forward. He was in Fei Yingli's car when he came here just now. It seemed that he heard some kind of hint while listening to the mother-daughter chat. At this time, Conan already looked confident. He whispered to Jiang Xia: "I understand everything!"

Jiang Xia nodded: "But with their messy relationship, if Toda Takako successfully escapes danger, I don't know if she will cooperate in solving the case - if even the parties involved refuse to admit that the case happened, we will have to If the criminals are brought to justice, this matter will become a joke in the end."

Conan was startled: "You, you know it too?!"

It turns out that Jiang Xia was worried about this and didn't say anything. Damn it, he thought...

Next to him, the "new doctor" who quietly listened to the commotion here pushed up his glasses and sighed silently: "..." Cool Guy is already very good at solving crimes, but it is a pity that the opponent he chose is a station. The unscrupulous question maker at the finish line.

Uzo must have enjoyed watching Shinichi running around and racking his brains trying to solve the case. What a nasty little bastard.

But then I thought about it, maybe it was because of Shinichi's outstanding detective ability that Uzo turned a blind eye to this interesting toy. Instead of exposing him to the organization, he actually protected him... ...After such a comparison, it’s better to play twice if you want than to lose Cool Guy’s life.

Belmod: "..." Besides, she is very aware of the organization's style of doing things. If the identity of "Edogawa Conan" is really exposed, what awaits him may not be a simple and happy death. Instead of spending those dark days in the laboratory, it would be better to do odd jobs on Uzo's stage. But speaking from my conscience...

Belmode glanced at Conan.

Then it was confirmed from the other party's micro-expression: This confused high school detective enjoys the process of solving cases and solving mysteries. As he breaks through the fog and finds the truth, his mood is rising sharply.

Belmode: "..." One is willing to pose the question, and the other is willing to solve it... Forget it, I'd better keep the status quo quietly to avoid self-defeating.

…

The two detectives discussed for a while and decided to reveal the truth only to the murderer first.

It's not because Conan knew the truth but couldn't tell it and felt uncomfortable, but because they were worried that there would be too many people and the murderer would try again if his plan failed. In comparison, if the murderer was exposed at this time, the murderer would at least not dare to kill anyone in front of the detective.

Not long after, the hospital's radio rang, calling Fei Yingli, Mouri Kogoro, and Matsuzaki Haru, who were about to leave with a sullen face, to the director's office.

The dean was a kind old lady. When she heard that Jiang Xia wanted to solve the case in the hospital, she immediately made room for her. She happily stepped aside with her signature in hand, preparing to watch the reasoning on the spot.

Although Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were not named, they suddenly heard the broadcast and immediately came over with interest.

Seeing the posture at the scene, Suzuki Sonoko was startled and looked at Jiang Xia understandingly: "You want to solve the case?"

Jiang Xia nodded.

Suzuki Sonoko became confused: "But wasn't that an accident? It was a poor sea snake with a dislocated jaw that went crazy and bit people because of the pain... Wait, did someone remove its jaw on purpose?!"

When Conan heard her reasoning, he couldn't help but hold his head in pain.

In the chaos, Matsuzaki Haru quietly retreated to the door: "Sorry, this matter has nothing to do with me. I want to check on Kiwako first."

"!" Conan saw the person was about to run and immediately stopped him, "That's right, after all, it was my eldest sister who did it. Of course you will be very concerned about this."

"?!" Matsuzaki Haru froze, "I, I don't understand what you are talking about..."

Jiang Xia looked at his watch: "The mouth of the half-ringed flat-tailed sea snake is very small. It is almost impossible to bite the center of the back of a human's hand by one's own efforts. So the bite mark appears in that position because someone pinched it. The mouth of the sea snake pierced Toda Kiwako with its fangs.

Matsuzaki Haru clenched her fists tightly, her voice trembling: "You want to say that I was the one who stabbed her with a snake while she was drowning? But don't forget, Kiwako drowned by accident. She is familiar with the properties of water. It is almost impossible to drown in such a shallow sea - do I have to carry a snake with me every day just to wait for a slim chance of assassination?"

Before Jiang Xia could speak, Conan suddenly said from the side: "How strange! When everyone hears 'bitten by a sea snake' and 'drowning', they usually think that they were bitten by a snake first and then drowned. But you seem to know that you are very Sister Wakko drowned first and then was bitten by the snake's mouth."

Matsuzaki Haru choked and lost control, looking at him with a ferocious look.

Next to it, the fragrance of apple flavor became stronger silently.

Jiang Xia leaned back on the chair comfortably in the aroma that surrounded her body, and waited for a few seconds before continuing: "Of course you don't have to wait for 'accidental drowning', because Toda Takawako's drowning is inevitable.

"In the process of getting along, some partners will intentionally or unintentionally set up some 'tests' in order to confirm their position in each other's heart - for example, after accidentally losing their wedding ring, they will be anxious and want to see if their partner can I noticed the changes in my fingers. Another example is that after I quietly found my wedding ring, I wanted to return it and reconcile, but I couldn't save my dignity, so I had to hold it off and see how long the other party could bear to wait."

"puff--!!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was drinking and eating melon next to him, choked heavily on the can of beer. He coughed a few times to catch his breath, and slapped his hand on the table: "Boy, just solve the case and don't use your observation power on some weird things!"

"..." Fei Yingxiang remembered that the way she was twiddling her fingers just now was caught in Jiang Xia's eyes, and her face turned red. She tried her best to maintain the dignity of an adult, "Children, don't meddle in adults' business!"
