Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2673 2677 [Tracking] Asking for monthly votes (づど)

Jiang Xia glanced over there: "Maybe he didn't catch any fish, so he wanted to come here to relieve his sorrow in grief."

Conan: "..." You are very good at thinking the best of people... Alas, it is because of this that vodka, Amuro Toru, Hashimoto Maya can arrogantly circle around you.

...So where did Hashimoto Maya go?

The more Conan thought about it, the more he couldn't help frowning. He tiptoed to the door and planned to go out to look for her.

But at this moment, a hand grabbed his collar and took him back to the box.

"Just now I always felt that someone was following me." Jiang Xia said, "Although it may be just on the way, you are a child with no power, it is best not to run around alone at this time."

"Why are you..." Conan was surprised at first, and then he came back to his senses: That's right, I can detect the stalker, how could Jiang Xia not find it?

But now is not the time to think about these things, he has to find Hashimoto Mo as soon as possible...

Before he walked out of the door, Conan was suddenly grabbed by a pair of iron-like hands.

"Really, didn't you hear what Jiang Xia said just now?" Mao Lilan was very conscious of being a guardian. When she heard Jiang Xia say that there was danger outside, she immediately grabbed Conan, who liked to fly solo, and said, "Stay here honestly, don't run around!"

Conan: "..."

Suzuki Sonoko was a little excited: "Following? Is he coming for us? What is his purpose? What does he want to do to us? - Let's catch him and send him to the police station!"

Jiang Xia shook his head and sighed: "If you just follow and don't do anything else, even if the police come, they won't deal with it."

After a pause, thinking of some FBI conversations, Jiang Xia smoothly borrowed the other party's guess: "And think about it in a positive way, maybe it's just a fan who wants to ask me for an autograph but is a little shy - if I rush over to catch him, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"That's right." Suzuki Sonoko was deflated when she heard this: In her impression, there were indeed many similar things in the past. Especially on exam days when Jiang Xia went to school, from the time he went to school to the time he got home, there would always be all kinds of people jumping out from every corner to ask him for business cards. Some even disguised themselves and asked for business cards several times a day, as if they wanted to play some kind of business card stamp collection. Maybe it was the same today.

"Come to think of it, I remember when I entered the KTV, Mr. Hashimoto walked at the back." Mao Lilan also liked to think the best of people. She suddenly had an idea, "Do you think it's possible that Mr. Hashimoto also noticed this matter, and in order not to embarrass Jiang Xia, he ran out alone to find that person to deal with it?"

Conan: "..." There is absolutely no such possibility. Hashimoto Maya is not such a selfless good person... Anyway, how could you be deceived by him!

...

The elementary school detective was unwilling, but he finally succumbed to absolute power.

Afterwards, based on the principle of being idle, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko ordered a few songs and sang.

"We can't go on like this." Conan has never been a fake kid who gives up easily. The more obstacles he encounters, the more motivated he becomes. He secretly clenched his fists in his heart, "I must sneak out and see what that guy is doing - when Xiaolan lets down her guard, I will immediately... um?"

Just as he was thinking about a plan to compete with his classmates, suddenly, the door handle creaked again and was twisted from the outside.

A few people looked up in surprise and saw Hashimoto Maya walking in with a haggard and strange look on her face.

"What's that expression on your face? You look like you're exhausted." Suzuki Sonoko stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, and at the same time couldn't help wondering: Could it be that they were thinking too much, and Hashimoto Maya actually didn't do anything just now, just because of a stomachache, so she went to the toilet?

Hashimoto Maya heard their voices and came back to her senses: "Nothing, that... have you finished singing?"

"Not yet, do you want to sing?" Suzuki Sonoko felt that she had misunderstood this detective assistant, so her attitude improved slightly. She pointed to the song selection stage, "Go and select a few songs, I'll help you jump the queue and put them in front."

"No need." Hashimoto Maya had no intention of singing, he waved his hands repeatedly, trying to refuse.

And at this moment, suddenly, a scream rang through the corridor.

"?!"

This familiar voice was like a signal gun, suddenly igniting everyone's instinctive reaction.

——Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko shuddered, grabbed their phones, and pressed 110 and 119 on the screen respectively.

And Jiang Xia and Conan quickly ran to the door, pushed open the door of the box, and looked at the place where the sound came from.

Hashimoto Maya... Hashimoto Maya wanted to jump behind the sofa, observe secretly and decide what to do next. However, reason and mission made him grit his teeth, put away his attack, and trotted to the door behind Jiang Xia.

Looking out, the situation was slightly better than expected.

There was no scary-looking corpse in sight - there was only a terrified receptionist.

At this time, the receptionist was frozen at the door of a box, staring blankly inside, muttering: "How... How could this happen!"

... It was obvious what to do next.

Jiang Xia came to the side of the terrified receptionist, looked past him into the box, and saw a middle-aged man with blood all over his head, lying on the ground.

The man's chest had long stopped moving, and his bloodstained upper body was covered with a coat. His head was tucked into the coat like a turtle. It didn't look like he accidentally slipped and hit his head, but it was obviously murdered.

After looking at the dead man from head to toe and seeing the man's features, Conan was stunned: "Isn't this the person who followed us just now!"

Jiang Xia sighed, turned his head and looked at the two female high school students who didn't dare to come over and just stood on tiptoe to look at him from a distance: "Call the police. Also, remember to call an ambulance."

-Although the ghost has been analyzed and the person is definitely beyond saving, it doesn't matter whether the ambulance comes or not. But as a detective, the procedures should still be followed.

...

Although the next investigation can be handed over to the police, there is a child who can't control his hands at all.

Conan first trotted into the box to see if the stalker could be saved.

After getting a negative answer, he got up regretfully, left the bloody box, and then began to observe the environment layout of this KTV.

At the same time, Conan stared at Hashimoto Maya, thinking about the possibility of this guy committing the crime - after all, now, from all angles, Hashimoto Maya is the number one suspect in his mind.

Bathed in that sight, Hashimoto Maya felt uncomfortable all over, and couldn't help but regret secretly.

"Isn't it just an ugly song? I can just endure it and listen to it. Why do I have to run out and hide!"
