Conan’s Corpse Picker

Editor Toda listened to this complicated situation and couldn't help but sigh: "The cases that happened in reality can be more complicated than those deliberately designed mystery novels."

Vodka: "..." Of course, because this was also deliberately designed by someone! It's just that you stupid guys can't see the screenwriter hiding behind the scenes.

This thought flashed through his mind, and he pushed his glasses, and a strange sense of pride surged in his heart.

After a moment, Vodka realized what he was thinking: "..."

What's there to be proud of? It's unlucky!

He tapped his forehead with his fingers, trying to knock something out of his mind.

Sato Miwako noticed his movement and couldn't help but look at him again: "..." He actually tapped himself because his brain couldn't turn around. This assistant is working hard! Although it seems that he has not been able to learn Jiang Xia's wisdom, at least his attitude is in place.

Vodka suddenly realized that someone was looking at him: "?"

The two were looking at each other with their own thoughts, and at this time, a person next to them strode over.

——Inspector Megure picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a pot of water. He drank it down in one gulp, then sighed: "Another reporter is coming outside! These guys have such a keen sense of smell."

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Xia expectantly: "Brother Jiang Xia, do you have any clues?"

Jiang Xia thought for a while: "It may be an outsider who committed the crime. The murderer broke in and poisoned the place beforehand, and then escaped."

When Inspector Megure heard this possibility, his heart skipped a beat: This needle-in-a-haystack method is undoubtedly the most difficult to find the murderer.

He was roughly estimating the terrible overtime time to come, when his reliable brother Jiang Xia changed the subject:

"But if this is the case, the murderer doesn't have to prepare three different poisons on purpose. In addition, on the other hand, if three murderers brought different poisons and invaded the villa at the same time last night, the timing was too coincidental.

"So another possibility is actually higher - some of the three poisons in this case were prepared by people inside the villa."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "! "It's much easier to find insiders!"

Vodka looked at his relaxed look: "..." First give a desperate answer, and then throw out a more relaxed choice... Ha, is this the way Uzo controls people's hearts and improves their favorability? I have completely seen through it.

It seems useless to see through it... No, at least it can be used to remind Brother Gin that he must not fall into this not-so-clever trap.

Next to him, Inspector Megure was happy, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

He scratched his head: "But the insiders in this villa...are they all dead?"

Jiang Xia: "But they once lived."

Inspector Megure: "..." Quite philosophical...

After two seconds, he finally understood, his face solemn: "You mean, they poisoned other dead people before they died, and those toxins took effect after they died? "

Jiang Xia nodded: "We can't rule out this possibility, and in yesterday's commission, we heard something, the deceased..."

Halfway through the words, remembering that there were many dead this time, Jiang Xia paused for a moment, silently sighed at Conan's power in his heart, and then slightly adjusted his words: "Mrs. Haitang said that she suspected that her husband had an affair with her female assistant, and both of them thought she was very troublesome."

Inspector Megure was shocked. His years of police experience made him realize that this was an important clue.

He looked at Editor Toda who might know about it and asked him for confirmation: "Have you heard of such a thing?"

Editor Toda hesitated: "I did hear Mrs. Haitang complain that her husband always wanted to divorce her. And Ms. Haitang is a woman with a strong self-esteem. The more the other party wants this, the more she is unwilling to agree. "

Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "So her husband poisoned her in order to divorce? No wonder there are empty syringes with poison hidden in Mr. Haitang's closet... But what about the deaths of the other two people? "

Suzuki Sonoko didn't know how the two people died, but she suddenly figured out one thing. She suddenly realized it and slapped her palm:

"No wonder after we talked to Mrs. Haitang yesterday, Mr. Haitang and the female assistant talked to Jiang Xia again, saying that Mrs. Haitang was in a bad mental state and always wanted to commit suicide - it turned out that they were paving the way for poisoning Mrs. Haitang! These two guys are really cruel. "

"It's very likely!" Officer Takagi also felt that he understood, "There is a syringe hidden in Mr. Haitang's closet, and the packaging bag of the box of chocolate biscuits that Mrs. Haitang ate is also full of his fingerprints. "

Sato Miwako nodded and got back to the topic: "So how did the other two people die? ”

Suzuki Sonoko and Officer Takagi, who are obsessed with being detectives: "..."

"Well..." Suzuki Sonoko remembered the detective tricks Jiang Xia taught her before, and began to use her imagination, "As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole waits behind. The two of them poisoned Mrs. Haitang, but they didn't expect that an outsider also targeted them - so after the two succeeded, they were unfortunately poisoned to death by that outsider!"

Inspector Megure: "Who is that outsider?"

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes moved and fell on Editor Toda.

Editor Toda: "? !"

"The cases I encountered before were basically three suspects and one victim. Although this situation is rare, we can draw inferences." Suzuki Sonoko held out three fingers and then turned them over, "For example, apply So far, there are only three victims and one suspect, so isn’t the murderer obvious?”

Police Department Megu looked at her twirling her fingers. Although she didn't quite understand it, she still felt that it made sense.

Next to him, Conan frowned, and suddenly felt the pain of meeting the stupid jewelry thief not long ago: "Who said that if four people show up, they must be divided into two groups? Maybe there is a fifth person hiding outside. And even if it is true, It only happened among the four of them. Why must the murderer be the living one? ——Jiang Xia was right. Although the deceased was dead now, they were still alive and could use poisons that had the ability to delay killing. Tools for killing people after death!”

Vodka: "..." He actually called Uzo by his first name. This kid is very arrogant.

Conan let out a long series of protests, and then was punched back by Suzuki Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko was a little addicted to the affirmation of Brother Megure. She cleared her throat: "And Mr. Toda is not without motives - it can be seen from his attitude towards Jiang Xia just now that he is a very dedicated editor. ! And this kind of mystery is a great help for his work content and publicity. "
