Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia threw away the strange drink, held the empty cup, and drank the air.

He moved his eyes to the bulletin board in the corner and saw the notice sent by the police a few days ago.

——A group of robbers recently emerged in Tokyo, specializing in ransacking department stores after get off work, stealing jewelry, antiques and other valuable items. This is one of the reasons why the Mihua Department Store building temporarily hired security guards.

Jiang Xia: "..."

From this point of view, the robbery pattern of this group of robbers is probably that Nakamura Mio first relied on her beautiful and charming appearance to apply for a job and infiltrated the building, and then cooperated with the robbers' accomplices inside and outside.

Since this group of robbers is targeting jewelry and antiques...

Jiang Xia touched the edge of the cup and suddenly remembered something

Last time, the moment Kidd stole the "Dark Star" from the Suzuki family, an "energy core" that could be used to strengthen the ghost fetus was immediately generated in the dark star.

Jiang Xia: "..." I don't know whether the conditions for the formation of energy cores in this world are "stolen jewelry and antiques" or "jewels and antiques stolen by Kidd."

Tonight, it's rare to encounter a robbery in progress... It's better to observe secretly and see what's going on.

…

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia noticed that the security colleagues in the room began to yawn one by one, and everyone started to wander around - the drink Mio Nakamura had given her had taken effect.

Jiang Xia then yawned a few times and followed the crowd and fell down on the table.

It didn't take long for the security guards to fall down.

Nakamura Mio smiled coldly and took out the walkie-talkie: "Come in, everyone! Work has started."

She walked over to the console and disarmed the security device.

Not long after, four or five strong men dressed as "Masked Superman" poured in from the door.

The robbers' accomplices were obviously well prepared. They carried a bundle of hemp rope and quickly tied up the security guards one by one and threw them into the corner.

…

Next to Jiang Xia.

Seeing the rough movements of the robbers, the parents moved a little scared, and secretly hugged Jiang Xia's legs to strengthen their courage.

In the room, Mio Nakamura lit a cigarette and watched the movements of her younger brothers leisurely.

——She is the leader of this group of robbers.

Originally, Nakamura Mio was just supervising the work of her subordinates.

But when she passed by Jiang Xia, her heart suddenly jumped strangely and she stopped.

"..."

Nakamura Mio stared at the kidnapper who wanted to tie up Jiang Xia, frowned and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly waved her hand and drove the man away: "Go and tie up something else."

She walked up to Jiang Xia, took a close look at the young detective lying in front of the table, and then looked at the security guards who were casually thrown into the corner. For some reason, she suddenly had the idea of ​​"can't throw Jiang Xia over there" - the ground was so cold and dirty, and it was not a place where people should lie down.

…

The robbers tied up the security guard and eliminated the hidden danger.

When they turned around, they found that there was another fish that had slipped through the net, and it was the famous detective they were most afraid of.

The robbers suddenly stopped talking: "Boss, just leave it like this, he will be in trouble when he wakes up later. It will take a lot of time to search the building."

"...I know." Nakamura Mio nodded, but she didn't want to take action at all.

After a moment of pause, she personally took a piece of rope and tied Jiang Xia casually a few times: "Okay."

"..." The boys stared at the rope that was neither loose nor tight and tied with a bow, and they always felt that something was not right.

However, at this time, Nakamura Mio had already come to her senses. She slammed the table fiercely: "What are you still doing? Remember the map, divide the work and take away what needs to be snatched!"

She had been building up her authority in the gang for a long time, and when she got angry, her younger brothers suddenly didn't dare to say anything more.

They had no choice but to secretly think: Anyway, according to the plan, the eldest sister will stay in the security room for a while. When the time comes, just let her keep an eye on the detective.

…

a few minutes ago.

The first floor of the building.

The Mihua Department Store has installed an automatic security device. At a fixed time every day, the rolling shutter door will automatically fall.

The young detective team was now locked in the building by the iron gate.

"What should we do? Do we have to spend the night here?" The three real children looked at the closed door with some regret. "It would be great if we hadn't left anything behind before. In that case, we would have gone home long ago."

Hui Yuan Ai stood next to them and lectured leisurely: "In the future, don't go to the place where you are about to get off work without permission, remember."

Ayumi and the others nodded reluctantly.

Conan thought of his encounter with Jiang Xia during the day and comforted the naughty children:

"Don't worry, there will be security guards on duty in the building. Brother Jiang Xia happens to be working part-time here. Go tell him and he will let us out."

With that said, Conan walked towards the elevator.

However, after taking a few steps, he only heard a series of footsteps following him.

The remaining three people did not move at all.

"...?" Conan turned around in confusion and saw that the only person following him was Haihara Ai himself.

The other three children clung to the door in fear: "Well... we should wait for you here!"

Huiyuan sighed and pulled them forward: "If I leave you here, who knows where you will run around again... Let's go and apologize properly, Jiang Xia won't hit anyone."

The three children had "disbelief" written all over their faces.

But when they thought that Jiang Xia was in the security room downstairs and in the same confined space as them, they unconsciously had a layer of well-behaved buff on them, so they didn't dare to mess around. In the end, he followed Conan and Haihara Ai downstairs silently.

…

Originally, the children thought that all they had to do to leave the building was "admit their mistake."

However, when they arrived outside the security room, Conan and Haibara Ai immediately realized that something was wrong.

Hui Yuan Ai whispered in confusion: "None of the people in the security room seem to be wearing security uniforms."

Conan observed for a moment and was shocked: "There is someone in the corner, and the security guards seem to be tied up there!"

Looking carefully, I saw that there were only a few robbers standing around the map, discussing where to go to collect things... Oh, there seemed to be another one who was also beaten, but I don't know why he wasn't. Jiang Xia was thrown away, but instead mixed in with the group of robbers uncomfortably.
