Conan’s Corpse Picker

If you think about it carefully, there was actually a period of time between when Ayumi saw the "corpse" and when they found it.

The Memu Police Department looked at the watch: "Seventeen minutes. If you want to use this time to move the body from the bathroom to somewhere else, you can actually do it..."

The owner of the house snorted coldly: "I told you that there are no corpses in my house. If you don't believe me, you can search them as you like!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, planning to go to the bedroom on the second floor.

Before going upstairs, the owner of the house thought of something, turned around and warned: "When I am resting, I hate it when others come upstairs to disturb me - my brother is coming back soon. If you have any questions, go and ask him directly later!"

After saying that, his figure quickly disappeared on the second floor.

The Mumu Police Department looked away, glanced at the people he brought over, and said helplessly: "I will allocate the search area, you..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

——The last second, the owner of the house was warning them, "Don't disturb me upstairs."

At this moment, Jiang Xia had already stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.

The Mu Mu Police Department was startled and reminded quietly: "Didn't he just say..."

Jiang Xia also quietly retorted: "Leaving so many strangers rummaging through the house, but not caring about going upstairs to sleep, even if the 'stranger' is a policeman, this 'Mr. Tanaka''s behavior is very unreasonable - he is now If you rush upstairs, maybe there is a reason why you have to go there."

"The reason why we have to go there..." Miwako Sato had a vague guess, "You mean, the body is hidden on the second floor?!"

"It's very possible." Jiang Xia finished speaking and listened with bated breath for a while.

After waiting for the sound of watching TV upstairs.

He stepped on the steps lightly.

…

Tanaka Jiro, the grumpy owner of the house, was already wearing a bathrobe and tugging on his slippers and entered the bedroom on the second floor.

There is a bed, a chair, and a TV here.

and a corpse sitting in a chair "watching television."

——The corpse is Tanaka Jiro’s older brother, the twin brother.

Except for their beards, the two of them had exactly the same face, clothes, and shoes.

Tanaka Jiro closed the door with his backhand and looked at the body in front of him that he had just dragged out of the bathroom and placed in a "watching TV" position, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shameless waste parasite, you can't live in peace even after death, and you were almost seen..." Tanaka Jiro looked at his brother on the chair, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

As he spoke, he "sneered" and tore off the fake beard attached to his mouth, hissing in pain.

…

Ten minutes ago, the night was dark. Yoshida Ayumi's frightened screams faintly reached here.

Tanaka Jiro, who had just hit his brother in the head with a stick, immediately realized the danger. He closed the curtains and anxiously for a moment, suddenly came up with a clever idea.

——He cleaned up the bathroom, dragged his brother’s body upstairs, posed it like watching TV, and then pretended to be his brother.

When the police came to knock on the door, Tanaka Jiro had already put on the same bathrobe and put on the same fake beard, transforming into the "alive brother".

Then he pretended to "rest" and went to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Next..." Tanaka Jiro breathed a sigh of relief - after creating the illusion that "my brother is resting upstairs", he can sneak out over the wall, and then as the "younger brother who just came home", Appear in front of the group of police officers and secretly guide their investigation.

And those stupid police officers, even if they wanted to, couldn't have imagined that the "irritable homeowner" who was scolding them a few minutes ago was actually a corpse.

"..." Thinking of this, Tanaka Jiro couldn't help but smile proudly.

He took off his bathrobe, put on his suit, and was about to climb out of the window triumphantly.

However, at this moment, he turned around and caught a glimpse of the bedroom door.

At that moment, it was as if a stream of ice water poured into his spine, and he stood frozen on the spot.

...The bedroom door was pushed open at some point.

There were five or six people crowded at the door.

Everyone looked at him with complicated expressions, watching him transform from "Tanaka Taro" into the gentle "Tanaka Jiro".

"..."

Tanaka Jiro held the balled up bathrobe, feeling as if a mythical beast had stepped on him, and anxious smoke seemed to come out of his head.

"You actually..." His legs weakened and he wanted to fall to his knees. But before that, his strong will to survive allowed him to stand upright again - at best, these people might have just gone upstairs.

As long as he does it properly, he can also change the script to a situation such as "The elder brother just went back to the second floor to sleep, and the younger brother has been staying in the bedroom and refused to show up because of social fear"... He has not lost yet!

Tanaka Jiro took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Who are you? Why did you break into other people's homes without permission?!"

Jiang Xia sighed: "Probably to find the body."

While talking, he had already walked into the house.

Then under Tanaka Jiro's nervous eyes, he suddenly raised his hand and pushed the corpse on the shoulder.

The body fell forward lifelessly.

Just when it was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Xia hooked it by the shoulders and pushed it back onto the chair.

Tanaka Jiro's face looked like he had eaten countless flies.

Under his distorted gaze, Jiang Xia raised her head and gave him a kind smile: "Found it."

"..."

Silent gaze.

A second later, Tanaka Jiro suddenly shouted...

He rushed towards the window, intending to escape through the window.

——There are so many police at the door. You would be a fool not to run away.

Seeing this scene, the young detective team gathered at the door was shocked. After a while, several people raised their hands to cover their eyes, turned around skillfully, and couldn't bear to stare.

The next second, there was indeed a "bang" sound in the room.

——Jiang Xia was already behind Tanaka Jiro in a flash. He grabbed the collar of this guy who was full of murderous intent, raised his hand skillfully, and slammed the guy to the ground.

As soon as the person fell, Jiang Xia subconsciously stepped on it with one foot and held the swinging stick with the other hand.

After a moment, he silently let go of his hand.

"..." I almost forgot, there seemed to be police nearby.

Can't fight now.

He sighed inwardly, stepped back regretfully, and let go of the person he had stepped on.

Then he turned his head as if nothing had happened, and met the complicated gazes of the police.

"..." Jiang Xia bent down, picked up the dizzy Tanaka Jiro from the ground, and patted the footprints on his shoulder in a friendly manner.

"..." Although there is a little less process of picking the fruit, the good news is that the result is the same - when Tanaka Jiro is arrested, the ghost on his leg will fall off.
