Conan’s Corpse Picker

Maya Hashimoto: "..." But when I thought about it, even Jiang Xia didn't doubt himself, so it was obviously not his fault, but a problem with the brain circuit of the colleague in the organization next to him.

Maya Hashimoto straightened her back silently: "How many times have I told you that I have been staying in the house and have never gone out at all."

Kurosawa Kazuma snorted: "When the first victim was killed by the chandelier, all of us were in the restaurant. You were the only one on the island who could move freely."

Maya Hashimoto muttered: "Maybe there is another person hiding on the island."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong - if a murderer who had no contact with anyone was allowed to kill someone, wouldn't it turn into a street robbery mode? It was completely inconsistent with careful reasoning. This was not what Uzo would do. .

In other words, the murderer must be among that group of students.

Maya Hashimoto scratched her head and changed her words: "The murderer must have tried to obscure the time of death. Let me ask you, you didn't see the girl being killed by the chandelier on the spot, right?"

Kurosawa Kazuma: "Nonsense, who would be present except the murderer? We all said that we were all in the restaurant at the time, and we heard the woman's scream when we were about to start eating."

"That's right. As long as you haven't seen it with your own eyes, there is room for deception." In normal times, Maya Hashimoto would not want to have contact with such unthinking peripheral members of the organization, fearing that when they were silenced, their blood would be spattered on him. Bought new shoes.

But now, looking at the gone Inozuka Taro, Hashimoto Maya has fully realized what it means to value peace.

He showed a lot of patience: "In my opinion, the murderer must have tried to obscure the real time of death. It happened that the large chandelier held the person underneath, so it was difficult to observe the condition of the body at close range, and naturally it was not possible. It’s impossible to determine exactly how long she has been dead.”

As he was talking, he thought of something and turned to look at the school doctor from Didan Middle School who had followed him at some point.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Speaking of which, although it is difficult to move the chandelier with sharp edges and corners, if you look hard through the gap when the case first occurred, it is not impossible to confirm the condition of the body... This school doctor is lazy Come on, that’s really unprofessional.

Just as he glanced at the other person critically, the young school doctor who was wandering around the crime scene with his hands in his pocket suddenly turned around and looked here as if he had eyes in his back.

The two sides looked at each other, and the new doctor pushed up his glasses and smiled at him.

Maya Hashimoto didn't know why he felt uncomfortable. He nodded to the other party as a greeting, then stopped looking over there and shut up to watch Jiang Xia check in and collect clues.

After wandering around the stage for a while, Jiang Xia went backstage thoughtfully.

He walked around there, squatted in front of a piece of debris, turned around and waved to Kurosawa Kazuma: "Does it look familiar?"

"?" Kurosawa Kazuma approached suspiciously, looked down, and saw a small cracked piece of black plastic.

"This is..." He suddenly understood something, "Inozuka's flashlight fragments! He tripped over a rock the night before yesterday, and the tail of the flashlight cracked, but because it was still usable, he continued to use it."

Jiang Xia nodded: "Then it seems that he was killed here."

As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the murderous aura stuck on the table leg, and put it away with his back to the crowd. This should have been dropped by Inozuka Taro after he was hit hard. Some of the murderous intent was here, and some of it hung on him and was taken to the bathroom of the old hotel.

Jiang Xia: "..." It can be seen that he is a member of the organization with a bad temper, and he has a lot of murderous aura. It would be great if it could be mixed with vodka... Unfortunately, this Taro was unlucky and died too early.

He briefly mourned his colleague for half a second again, then turned around and said, "Let's go, there is another scene."

Finally, they came to the place where Eimi Konda was hanged.

When he got here, Jiang Xia didn't look at the body, but looked at another place.

He picked up a wide blade of grass with the toe of his shoe, looked down at the rocks below, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have the rocks on this slope been so smooth before?"

Kurosawa Kazuma: "..." Of course not. This is a prop I polished overnight to prepare for the opportunity to throw you to death... Speaking of which, did you install a peeping device on your shoes? You can see it even if you cover it with grass blades.

He muttered in his mind, scratching his head and pretending to be stupid: "I really didn't pay attention to this. Maybe it was soaked with water after it rained, so it looked slippery."

Maya Hashimoto looked at the structure here and immediately understood. He looked at Kurosawa Kazuma silently: "..." This guy is really lucky.

Then he took two steps away as if nothing had happened, secretly indicating that all the trouble had nothing to do with him.

Conan looked at the stone, looked up at Kurosawa Kazuma, and pushed up his glasses thoughtfully, and a flash of light flashed through the flat lenses.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird for a while.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia seemed to be only slightly concerned and didn't hold on to him. He looked back at the scene of "suicide by hanging": "I roughly understand what these cases are about... Let's go back to the restaurant first, in case the murderer has other targets."

…

According to Suzuki Sonoko, the ship will come today.

So at this time, everyone had gathered in the restaurant and was preparing to have breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, we have to thank Mr. Inozuka, who has passed away. He cooked twice and served as an island watcher for a long time, but he began to find it troublesome, so I baked a lot of bread and put it in the refrigerator to store, and I planned to use this to cope with it.

So even though the chef was gone, everyone still had their meals on time and ate bread in silence in the restaurant.

Mao Lilan sighed: "What a nightmare experience."

Suzuki Sonoko followed her and sighed, but seemed to be worried and did not speak.

Seeing her like this, Mao Lilan became confused: "What's wrong?" It was rare to see Yuanzi so quiet. Usually when she encounters a murder case, even if she is sad, she will recover after a few hours. It's been a whole night now, why...

Suzuki Sonoko hesitated for a moment, then quietly leaned over and whispered to her: "I always feel that things ended so strangely this time - including the murderer who jumped into the sea in a panic last night, a total of four people died! If it were written as a mystery story, it would be thick. It’s a big book, but the ending is so bland. And we don’t even know who the murderer is. He is like a shadow that was summoned, and then disappeared and returned after taking revenge.”

After saying this, she suddenly had an idea: "That's right! Why don't we adapt it like this during the campus festival? But the ending must be changed..."

"Zheng——" The sound of a bowstring interrupted the rest of her words.

In the blank eyes of the two female high school students, a dark shadow flashed past the peripheral vision.

——The crossbow that was used for decoration on the wall was placed flat on the cabinet at some point. At this time, a crossbow arrow was shot out with a strong killing intent.
