Conan’s Corpse Picker

Akai Shuichi: "..."

At first glance, his thoughts were a bit jumpy, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed quite reasonable - after all, from their professional perspective, the tracking of this middle-aged man was really amateurish. If it is classified as a private fan, it is reasonable.

However, the stalker who appeared at this node always felt that it was not that simple. After thinking about it, Akai Shuichi did not act rashly: "Let's see the situation first."

As he said, he turned up the sound of the eavesdropping device a little, making sure not to miss any information from the other side.

...

In the KTV.

Jiang Xia didn't seem to care about all the mess behind him. He came to the front desk, flipped through the menu and ordered some food and water, and then took his classmates to the open box.

After the group of people walked away sparsely, the door opened and closed, and another figure walked in.

The front desk looked up, and then was slightly stunned by the guest's dress.

——The visitor wore a dark baseball cap, the brim of the hat was so low that it almost pressed over his eyes, squeezing the dark glasses on the bridge of his nose a little lower.

Front desk: "..." Forget the hat, why do so many people like to wear sunglasses when going out at night? Can you see the road clearly?

But this has nothing to do with him. The front desk smiled politely: "Welcome, how many people are you?"

The middle-aged man pressed the brim of his hat, did not answer, and only said: "Did a group of high school students with children just go in? - When they are about to leave, tell me."

Front desk: "Ah?"

Middle-aged man: "When I came this morning, I forgot something in the box where they were. I will go to look for it after they leave."

"Is that so." The front desk flipped the notebook on the table doubtfully, "But we don't have a record of lost items here..."

The middle-aged man laughed: "Of course, because my friend hid it specially to make fun of me."

While speaking, he glanced at the face of the front desk, and said: "How about this, open a box for me, and give me some drinks, I will sing while waiting for them to finish."

Hearing this, the front desk finally quietly moved his hand away from the alarm button - stalkers have their own way of dealing with stalkers, and guests have their own way of entertaining guests.

Facing this seemingly generous guest, he put on a professional smile: "Okay."

...

After entering the box, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko happily sang the first song together.

Conan and Hashimoto Maya looked out from time to time, but after looking around, the suspicious stalker never came in.

Gradually, Conan retracted his gaze from the door and fell on Hashimoto Maya's pocket: "..." Thinking carefully, this guy has a mobile phone on him. If the stalker is really his accomplice, then they can communicate by sending messages, and there is no need to meet.

"And according to my observation, Hashimoto Maya has never touched her mobile phone during this period, and has no communication with that person."

Conan muttered in his heart: "Plus, the tracking skills of the middle-aged man are really... not very professional. Did I guess wrong before-these two people are not accomplices, and the stalker followed because of something else?"

Since the other party will not move for a while, there is no need to panic, it is better to do your own thing first.

Thinking of this, Conan looked at the song request station on the side, his fingertips curled up, and his hands itched.

——As a former contemporary high school student, he also likes karaoke like other classmates. But when he sings... his skills are a little lacking, so gradually, no one is willing to go to KTV with him.

"If I were Kudo Shinichi now, Xiaolan and Sonoko would probably never agree to this proposal to go to KTV."

Conan stretched out his evil finger and quietly requested a song for himself: "Fortunately, I have changed. Now I am Edogawa Conan, and I have taken elementary school music lessons again from the beginning - it's time to show my progress!"

...

With a burst of exciting and cheerful music, the chorus of Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan came to an end.

The two were about to order another song, but when they looked at the song request station, they found that there was already another song in the queue.

"Hmm? Oh, this should be Jiang Xia's order." Suzuki Sonoko quickly handed him the microphone and said expectantly, "This is my favorite song this year, we are so in sync!"

Just as he was praising her, Jiang Xia moved his arm and handed the microphone to Conan.

Suzuki Sonoko: "?"

Mouri Ran: "Well, could it be..."

Jiang Xia patted Conan's head: "He ordered it."

"..."

The two high school girls fell into a long silence.

-If I remember correctly, they once took this elementary school student to a KTV, and at that time, Conan's singing voice...

Next to them, Hashimoto Maya looked at the two pale-faced high school girls, puzzled and a little alert: "..." What's going on? Some intuition seemed to be telling him that something bad was about to happen that he didn't know about...

As the prelude of the song sounded, Hashimoto Maya quietly moved towards Mao Lilan and whispered to this seemingly easy-going female high school student: "Your expressions look a little strange, is there something wrong?"

... But don't tell him that "the classmate who sang this song X years ago died" - this kind of words that mean the opening of the stage, if it happened to these people in the box and him, it would undoubtedly be a ghost story among ghost stories!

"This..." Ran Maoli and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other and did not answer the question. They just said tactfully, "You will know in a while."

Hashimoto Maya was even more confused: "......?"

Although he wanted to grab the necks of the two riddlers and shake them hard to make them spit out the truth. But in the end, reason made Hashimoto Maya take a deep breath and return to his original position vigilantly.

He mobilized all his senses, vigilantly paying attention to the surroundings, ready to deal with all kinds of changes that were about to hit.

...

Outside the KTV.

Hashimoto Maya is not the only victim of the riddler.

In the car, a female FBI agent was also so curious that she wanted to get into the box. Judy pricked up her ears: "What's wrong with your expression? What happened?... Really, the music is too loud, I can't hear the conversation between the two female students."

Akai Shuichi: "There is no need for Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to lie. Since they said 'We will know in a while', let's do as she wishes and wait for a while."

As he spoke, he turned up the volume of the eavesdropping device to the maximum.

The whispers of the two girls could be heard a little, and at the same time, the music flowing in the room suddenly became clearer.

At this moment, the cheerful prelude of the music changed and came to the part that needed to be sung.
