Conan’s Corpse Picker

For Judy, who has been through many battles recently, the murder that happened suddenly around her can no longer cause too much waves in her heart.

...It should have been like this.

However, in fact, the moment she saw it clearly, Judy's heart still skipped a beat.

——When the strange corpse fell to the ground, one hand was holding the coffee cup, and the other hand, perhaps because of pain, unconsciously grabbed the trouser leg of his neighbor.

And his neighbor...

Judy looked at the tall man wearing a baseball cap with a strand of black curly hair sticking out from under the brim of the hat: "..."

...What are you standing there for? Move aside! At least pull your trouser legs out of the hand of the poisoned person first. Otherwise, you look like the murderer who killed that person... Do you want to be taken to the police station as a suspect again! !

As a veteran suspect who has been in the police station for a long time, Judy was very disappointed.

But the fact proved that even if Akai Shuichi wanted to withdraw now, it was probably too late - the scream that someone shouted just now had already successfully attracted the attention of everyone present. If Akai Shuichi pulled out his trouser legs in front of them now, he would not only be unable to stay out of it, but would also be more suspicious because of his calm and rational attitude.

Judy pinched her forehead with a headache and tried to calm herself down: "..." Then why did Shuichi change his plan and stay in the audience? And...

She suddenly remembered something and turned around to look backstage.

Then she suddenly found two more people there.

——Not only Dr. Shinde, but also Mao Lilan, who was supposed to be delayed in the hospital by James, came back.

"...What a mess." Judy fiddled with her fluffy skirt absentmindedly, feeling melancholy. "The plan went very smoothly at the beginning. Everyone who should be dragged was dragged, and I successfully got on the stage. The right time, right place, and right people, this should have been a very successful test, but now... why did things turn out like this?"

"And that weird male protagonist just now, since he is not 'Dr. Shinde', who is he?"

...

Everything on the scene was very chaotic, but there were also some things that never changed.

——Hearing screams and looking out to see something happened under the stage, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko instinctively took out their phones, and then tacitly called the police and the ambulance.

In just a few seconds, the operator on the other side understood the situation and said that they would rush to the scene as soon as possible.

The two high school girls hung up the phone after shaking people, looked at each other blankly for a while, and then reconnected their thoughts.

Mao Lilan was a little worried about the condition of the stranger who fell to the ground under the stage, but at the same time, another thing inevitably attracted most of her attention.

Ran Maori looked around, trying to find the "black knight male protagonist", but she couldn't see his shadow.

She was suspicious for a moment, pulled Suzuki Sonoko to the corner, and whispered: "What's the matter with the 'male protagonist' who just took the stage for Mr. Shinde?"

"You recognized him, right?" Suzuki Sonoko smiled, hiding her merits and fame, "Yes, the disappeared guy is back! - How about it, this surprise is not bad?"

Ran Maori: "..."

Surprised, but happy...

She smiled, and her slender fingers slowly closed, making a click.

Hiding outside the door, Kudo Shinichi was about to come on stage to explain: "..."

"I, I'd better go solve the case first. This is the main job of a detective. Human life is at stake, and it can't be delayed by distractions."

Kudo Shinichi turned around quietly and went to the stage stealthily. At the same time, he had unprecedented thoughts about a classmate: "By the way, where is Jiang Xia at such a critical moment? If he was next to him, he could have stopped anything and there wouldn't be too many accidents..."

He walked to the corner stealthily and was about to run off the stage quickly, but at this moment, Kudo Shinichi stopped: On the stage in front, there was a woman in a white dress.

Kudo Shinichi: "..." Why hasn't she left yet! This guy is too haunting!

Wait, this hair color...

Kudo Shinichi looked at Judy, who had taken off her veil at some point, and his heart skipped a beat: "..."Yes, it was that very suspicious foreign teacher!

Oh no, if this woman is also a member of the organization, then with his current state of "Kudo Shinichi"...

Kudo Shinichi didn't have time to think about it, and his feet spun and shrank back to the backstage.

Behind him, Judy narrowed her eyes: "..." Something is wrong, very wrong, this guy must be tricky... I have to find a way to see his face and find out who he is!

Thinking of this, she lifted her skirt, relied on her appearance of "a cheerful foreigner who loves to make friends", said "Hi~", and chased after him without hesitation.

Kudo Shinichi listened to the clicking sound of high heels stepping on the ground behind him, and his hair was about to explode. His steps became more and more hurried, and at this moment, the door in front creaked, and two high school girls pushed the door and walked out.

Kudo Shinichi: “?!”

He braked hard again, then turned a corner and headed for the deserted fork at the T-junction: “…” No, I can’t talk to the two classmates, and I can’t let Judy know that he is familiar with Xiaolan and Sonoko, otherwise it might bring them a fatal disaster.

So this is the risk that Haibara Ai mentioned before? He, he didn’t take it seriously at the beginning. But…

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth: But he didn't reveal too much just now, not even his face was fully exposed, and it's still time to make up for it!

First of all, he must not be caught by that woman...

The desperate high school student pricked up his ears to listen to the footsteps chasing behind him, quickly recalled the terrain of the venue, and started a game of hide-and-seek with his life at stake.

...

The weird pursuit in the backstage has just begun.

The murder case under the stage is still going on.

Akai Shuichi, who was surrounded by the crowd: "..."

Although it is not difficult to escape from the siege of this group of ordinary citizens, the disguise on his face is carefully thought out by him. If this face becomes a wanted criminal, he will lose an available identity, and it is easy to cause trouble because of the similar appearance.

Compared to that, it is better to pretend to cooperate first-after all, he did not poison or kill people. Even if someone wants to use this to frame him, he has the confidence to see the flaws and solve the case.

...Having said that, remembering the unpleasant experience he had last time in the police station, Akai Shuichi still walked to the corner and called his boss so that the elderly leader could be mentally prepared in advance.
