Conan’s Corpse Picker

Soon, the lobby manager was handcuffed and sent to the police car.

In the chaos, two passers-by at the scene quietly left, and then went to Teitan High School one after the other.

…

Teitan High School, the venue where the stage play was held.

Although Judy was not in the audience, the stalls and equipment she brought with her looked quite popular.

"I didn't expect to buy such authentic coffee at such a campus stall." The short-haired woman ordered a few drinks and returned to her companions with them. "You who didn't order coffee this time are at a big loss."

"What can I do? I just don't like coffee." One of her companions, a fat white man, propped himself up from his seat and helped her take the things in her hand. "I drank coffee every day during the night shift. Now I feel uncomfortable when I see coffee. Alas... Our work is too busy. It's rare to have such a leisurely day."

The four people who came together this time all work at Mihua Hospital. The short-haired woman is a clerk in the hospital, the fat white man is a security guard, and the other two are a nurse and a doctor respectively.

They all graduated from Teitan Junior High School. They went to the same school and worked in the same place. They had a good relationship and did many activities together. At this time, they were sitting in a row, waiting for the stage play to start.

The female clerk put down the four drinks in her hand: "You guys share them. I'm going to the bathroom first."

On the other side of the fat white security guard, the fashionable female nurse looked at her watch and said: "Then you have to hurry up, it's almost time to start... huh? It's already time to start, but the stage play hasn't started yet. What are these students dawdling about?"

The female clerk laughed: "Young people are bound to have a little procrastination - I ordered iced coffee, remember to save a cup for me."

After that, she turned and left.

"Iced coffee..." The fat white security guard looked at the four drinks on her seat, "These are the two cups with milk and sugar on the lids."

The fashionable female nurse was also looking for her drink across him: "I just ordered orange juice."

"The orange juice should be this." The fat white man picked out a cup and handed it to her, and then he picked up another cup, "I remember that Kohei also wanted iced coffee, you pass it to him."

On one side of the female nurse was the fat white man, and on the other side was a thin tall man - the only doctor among the four of them.

The nurse took the two drinks, leaving her orange juice, and gave the coffee and the matching sugar milk to the thin tall man: "Here, yours."

"Well, okay." The doctor took the drink and opened the lid. Just as he was about to add ingredients, he suddenly froze.

After a moment, he seemed to understand something, put the lid back on, and turned to look at the beverage stand on the side.

On the stall, several senior high school students from Teitan Middle School were busy.

The doctor's eyes stayed on one of them - that was a beautiful girl wearing glasses, quiet and gentle.

As he watched, he couldn't help but reveal an extremely resentful look.

The female nurse was about to talk to him, but when she turned around, she suddenly saw his expression and was startled: "...What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, ah?" The doctor came back to his senses and quickly forced a smile, "Nothing."

Female nurse: "..."Really? But your expression just now was so scary.

The doctor turned his head to look at the stage and hurriedly changed the subject: "Okay, let's watch the show first."

...

The chief director Suzuki Sonoko racked her brains to delay the opening time, hoping that the male and female protagonists would come back - after all, compared to the temporary protagonists, the original Mao Lilan and Dr. Akai were more reassuring.

Unfortunately, no one knew what happened, and the two were late to arrive.

As doubts gradually floated from the audience, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the watch and had to let the show begin.

"Fortunately, the other characters have to lay the groundwork before the hero and heroine will go on stage. You, the extra, still have some time."

Suzuki Sonoko rolled up the script and knocked on the table in front of Kudo Shinichi, suspiciously saying, "Did you really remember the lines? Or let Jiang Xia go on stage. After all, Jiang Xia has read the script several times. With his memory, he will definitely not say the wrong words."

Conan, with his unaccustomed high school student body, snorted, "Of course I can remember it. Don't forget that I am also a detective."

Besides, he must have read the script more times than Jiang Xia: Jiang Xia was distracted during rehearsal, but he was always staring at Dr. Shinide's attempt to usurp the throne - no one is more familiar with the script than him!

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi adjusted his knight armor and proudly puffed out his chest.

Next to him, Suzuki Sonoko did not argue with him, because she remembered belatedly: Jiang Xia didn't seem to come back after she went out.

Suzuki Sonoko: "..." What's going on? Why did everyone lose contact one by one? Is the outside world more interesting than her stage play?

She took out her phone in confusion, intending to send a message to ask, and waved to the side: "Okay, then you get ready first, it should be your turn soon."

When Kudo Shinichi heard this, he was excited from the bottom of his heart.

He took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and then looked in the mirror and began to think for a while about what kind of handsome expression he should use when he made a shining appearance in front of Xiaolan... Oh, right! He also needs to think about the lines carefully.

This opportunity is rare, he must give Xiaolan a surprise and leave her with a deep enough impression!

...

The women's locker room next door.

When the male protagonist was uneasy and excited, the female protagonist here was also not calm.

When the plot in Judy's mind had progressed to finding corpses in Tokyo Bay, finally, a voice came from her earphones - colleagues in the audience excitedly said: "Mr. Akai sent me a message!"

"?!" Judy suddenly became excited, "What did he say? Where are the others? Do we need to rescue him?"

"Well……"

The colleague opposite saw the content of the email clearly and suddenly fell silent.

FBI agent: "..." Why did another list come and it was not pulled through to the end?

He didn't bother to reply to Judy for a moment, and typed a message to Akai Shuichi first: [Mr. Akai, is the growth rate of this list... inappropriate? ]

Akai Shuichi: [This bank robbery is very important. Don't underestimate it. We may be able to catch traces of that person. ]

FBI agent: "..." You said the same thing last time! And last time!

He took a deep breath and typed hard with an objection: [Okay, I understand. ]

...Forget it, forget it, Ace's decision should be right.

Isn't it just overtime investigation? This isn't the first time I've worked overtime... I hope I can get some results this time.

anyway……

The tip of his nose twitched slightly: The coffee that the people next door were sharing smelled so familiar. ——It was very similar to those collected by their immediate boss James, and the smell made him want to have a drink.
