Conan’s Corpse Picker

Vermouth: "..." Vodka, that jerk!

But to be fair, this may not be Vodka's gun. There are many similar models in the organization... Uh, wait, if it's not Vodka's, then is it the one the organization gave to Uzo? Did the organization allow him to carry a gun?

Vermouth: "..."

... Rather than the organization being conquered by Uzo, let's just assume that this is Vodka's gun.

Thinking of the frequency of cases that Vodka has encountered recently, and thinking of Akai Shuichi's not-so-good day... Combined with the experience of these two people being forced to throw away their guns, Vermouth suddenly had an impulse to take the initiative to hand over his gun to Uzo, as if this would skip the process and avoid some troubles.

... But it's just a thought. No matter how you think about it, handing your gun to someone else will only be more dangerous.

After a moment of silence, Vermouth silently covered the gun hidden in her body disguise and tried to persuade: "This is not a good thing for you. You are a famous detective with a very high exposure rate. There is no need to take such risks." So quickly take the gun away.

Jiang Xia waved his hand: "This is just my collection. I brought it out today to return it to Vodka, but unfortunately 'Mr. Yamada' said he had to see a doctor before the show started, and stood me up."

Vermouth: "..." Vodka is lucky. If he had come and met Akai Shuichi and the FBI, things would have been interesting... But on the other hand, this guy's existence is extremely dangerous to the enlarged Cool Guy, so it's better for him not to come.

Several high school students were walking in front, vaguely feeling that something was missing.

Hattori Heiji looked around, and then turned back, and found that Jiang Xia was actually chatting happily with the "New Doctor", and the latter seemed to be thinking something crooked, and his expression changed a little.

Hattori Heiji: "..."

"Why do these suspicious people like to chat with Jiang Xia?" Hattori Heiji turned around and walked back, muttering in his heart, "As expected, gold will shine wherever it is. Even the bad guys will covet excellent reasoning talents. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future... Speaking of which, why didn't these guys find me? They are so short-sighted! Well, it may be because they are based in Tokyo and I am in Osaka. The distance is too far, so they were forced to give up... Yes, that must be the case!"

Soon, the Kansai detective with a sense of mission returned to the two people who were falling further and further behind, and joined their conversation forcefully, interrupting the possible conspiracy of Dr. Shinde.

Then he saw "Dr. Shinde" looking at him with a complicated look, and at the end, the look actually became quite friendly.

Hattori Heiji: "?"

What a cunning guy who is good at disguise. I have to pay special attention to this guy in the future.

...

When the high school students finished a busy day and prepared to go to lunch.

On the other side, the temporary base of the FBI.

A white-haired old man finished a day's work and fell down on the sofa tiredly when he returned home. He looked out the window in silence for a moment, and the toes in his slippers suddenly curled up tightly, as if he was trapped in some bad memories.

After a while, James sat up straight, took out his mobile phone with trembling hands, and stared at the screen in confusion.

Two seconds later, he took a deep breath, quickly opened the webpage and entered keywords, holding his breath and pressing Enter.

The page refreshed, and a piece of news about Beihua Town popped up, half of which were bank robberies and half were poisoning cases in Teitan Junior High School dramas... In the face of such a trend, the scene of a white-haired old man being carried across the road by a young girl did not stir up any waves.

"Fortunately, fortunately..."

James breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging all the way, finally fell back into his chest.

But soon, he felt that something was wrong again.

James picked up the phone again: "..." Although he hadn't clicked on the details, there seemed to be some familiar faces on the covers of these news?

What are Judy and Akai doing?

James tiredly clicked on the news and quickly browsed the details to confirm whether he should rush to the police station to rescue the person.

Then he found that under the help of a righteous detective, his two capable subordinates actually successfully got rid of the suspicion, and he finally didn't have to work hard on this matter.

"What a good kid." James looked at Jiang Xia in the news photo, and his eyes became kind. "If it weren't for him, I should have applied for a commuter card to the Metropolitan Police Department. Judy and Xiuyi's abilities are unquestionable, but they are a bit aggressive. The long-term struggle with criminals also makes them sometimes not respect laws and regulations... But fortunately! Although the process today was a bit tortuous, the ending is good."

The matter ended successfully, James stood up relaxed, and planned to make himself a cup of hand-ground coffee for the first time in a long time.

He walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, reached into the bottom and touched it, and then paused.

James: "..." Why is it empty?

Where's the coffee?

Where's the coffee that he spent his own money to ask someone to airlift?

Didn't he put it down steadily when he put it, and the coffee can fell to the bottom?

James turned his body sideways and reached down again, but even after tracing the corners of the cabinet with his fingers, he still couldn't find his precious coffee cans.

"?"

James turned on the flashlight and poked his head in to search, but still found nothing.

"Strange, did I put them next to the coffee pot after drinking them last time?" The puzzled old man closed the cabinet door, stood up, and turned to the kitchen.

He took a quick look at the door and paused again: "..."

Where are his grinder and coffee pot?

Why is that place empty?

...Is there a thief at home?

Which thief broke into the FBI base and escaped unscathed?

Just as he was confused, suddenly, the door rang and someone walked in.

James turned around with the empty porcelain cup in his hand and saw that his two capable subordinates, Shuichi Akai and Judy, had also returned. These two young people who were always energetic rarely showed some fatigue at this time. I don’t know what they had experienced.

Thinking about the overwhelming news, James understood deeply: "Sit down first, I..."

He originally wanted to make some coffee to comfort his subordinates, but after he said this, he remembered that he had no coffee.

So he changed his tone: "Have you seen my coffee machine?"

Shuichi Akai glanced at the empty kitchen, was silent for a while, and turned to look at Judy.

Judy slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, I took them to set up a stall today to sneak into the campus festival."

James: "......?"

He pondered over the words and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Since I brought a coffee machine, then the coffee beans..."
