Conan’s Corpse Picker

"'Funeral Silver Coin'?" Takamori Masumi grabbed the receiver and said in a vicious tone, "You were there when Jiang Xia reasoned, right. Why didn't you dare to say a word at that time?! - What else did you say about 'superb long-distance skills'? 'The killer trick' and 'The detective will never see it through', but in the end, he didn't even last two minutes in front of Jiang Xia!"

"Funeral Silver Coin" was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone was still mysterious and calm, but it was subtly less arrogant: "What are you afraid of? What about seeing through the tactics? They don't have any evidence, otherwise you can still stand here and talk to me?"

Takamori Masumi: "..." It seems quite reasonable...

Perhaps feeling the softening of her attitude, "Funeral Silver Coin" continued: "And I will not let you kill anyone again in the future. Even if Jiang Xia doubts you again, as long as he can't get evidence, he can't do anything."

"...Won't you let me kill anyone again?" Masumi Takamori was stunned for a moment, and it was hard to believe that this threat with no end in sight ended just like that.

"Funeral Silver Coin": "Yes, but I still need a small favor from you - after doing this, we will break up and continue to live our own lives."

Takamori Masumi was silent for a moment. Although she was full of anger, when she thought that she would see the dawn of hope soon, she finally compromised: "Okay, what's the matter?"

…

It's quiet at night.

Takamori Masumi quietly slipped out of the room, walked through the corridor according to what the "Funeral Silver Coin" said, and came to a room with the door ajar to meet him.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

There was no light in the room, so Takamori Masumi walked cautiously inside while talking to the unknown person in the room: "You invited me over, why didn't you turn on the light, are you afraid that I would see your face?"

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and smelled a vague smell in the room.

"……"perfume scent?

Masumi Takamori sniffed subconsciously. She seemed to have smelled this smell on someone before...

Before she had time to think more, a figure silently appeared behind her. The man raised his hand and covered her mouth with a handkerchief dipped in anesthetic.

Masumi Takamori: "?!!"

…

Sometimes it's not good for a hotel to be too big.

For example, what happens in a room is unknown to other rooms.

Maya Hashimoto couldn't sleep late at night, so she quietly lay at the window and looked at the lighted windows of the building on the side. While watching, the door clicked and Inozuka Jiro walked in.

"!" Maya Hashimoto suddenly became alert and turned around to look at him.

Although Inozuka Jiro is a caretaker, this guy is obviously not honest. The number of times he appears in front of him is very limited, and every time he comes, he does nothing good: he either mocks him or wants to get information from him.

It's not enough to be afraid. But every time he came, Hashimoto Maya had to suppress the murderous intention that suddenly jumped out. As time went by, he felt that his temper had become much better than before.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." At the same time, he couldn't help but suspect that the guy in front of him was sent by Uzo to torture him. But no matter how he thought about it, Uzo would never interfere with the person who would guard him...

Maya Hashimoto could only take a deep breath and keep smiling: "What's the matter?"

Inozuka Jiro didn't bother to chat with the person who was suspected of "collaborating with Jiang Xia to kill his elder brother" and said straight to the point: "You know Jiang Xia, right?"

Maya Hashimoto was alert, this guy probably didn't want to get him involved: "It's not really acquaintance."

Inozuka Jiro snorted from his nose: "Oh, stop pretending. I have seen the last case reports, including the live broadcasts released by some tabloids - this is not the first time you have met Jiang Xia."

"I told you that he is not my subordinate, and I am not his accomplice..." Maya Hashimoto said halfway, tired, "Oh, forget it, whatever you think. What's the matter with you?"

When Inozuka Jiro saw that the boy was no longer arrogant, he lit up a cigarette like a victorious superior and said leisurely: "There are many people among the guests I invited, and the police cannot hold them for too long. If there is no progress tomorrow, they will probably send people back to their respective homes - then use your email address to send a message to Jiang Xia and ask him to meet behind the building."

"Send a message using my mailbox?" Maya Hashimoto suspected that this guy had been dazzled by hatred. "Do you still remember that you are my caretaker? If you want to die with me, take this old Kurosawa with you." elder brother?"

Kurosawa Kazuma, who had become somewhat Buddhist, heard this and suddenly couldn't be a Buddhist anymore. He remembered very clearly that there might be an organization cadre lurking nearby, and that person was always ready to silence him and keep it secret.

Kurosawa and Ma couldn't say it directly, so they had to say tactfully: "I'm warning you, don't challenge the organization's silence ability."

Inozuka Jiro waved his hand impatiently: "It's not like asking him to meet Jiang Xia, but just finding a suitable excuse to ask someone out alone - this kid must have more than one identity and email address, and he can use just one to deal with it. , it doesn’t count as revealing one’s identity.”

Maya Hashimoto: "..."

...Why did this guy get into trouble with Jiang Xia?

Is this the natural opposition between righteous detectives and criminals?

Maya Hashimoto looked at Inozuka Jiro suspiciously. Thinking of this man's previous words and deeds and the cruel words he said, his eyes suddenly jumped: "Don't you really want to carry out your plan to make Jiang Xia judge the wrong case and smear his reputation?" plan."

Inozuka Jiro did not deny it. Anyway, Maya Hashimoto could not contact the outside world now. He was too lazy to cover up: "What's wrong with trying?"

Even if Jiang Xia doesn't take the bait, this can break the trust between Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya. Then he can defeat them one by one and make the two cheaters who killed Inozuka Taro pay the price.

"..." Maya Hashimoto really wanted to pry open this guy's brain and take a look, "No... have you understood the causes and consequences of these murders? If you dare to intervene, you are not afraid of getting yourself involved." ——"And then implicate the innocent me?

"Haha." Jiro Inozuka smiled mysteriously, "How dare you claim that I don't understand this case? - Well, give me your email address quickly."

"If you're lucky, tomorrow will be the time when that kid's reputation will be ruined."

…

A few minutes later, Inozuka Jiro left with great satisfaction.

Maya Hashimoto sighed and raised his hand to fan himself in front of his eyes: "This guy is really from head to toe to smell, every bit makes people want to beat him."

Kurosawa and Ma sneered while playing with their mobile phones: "This kid has watched too many TV series and always likes to follow the trend of successful people, but he hasn't understood yet - successful people just wear perfume and have a little bit of meaning. He is good, every time It smells like perfume, and those who didn’t know thought he had accepted some perfume advertisement.”
