Conan’s Corpse Picker

"He, and that guy." Hashimoto Maya stretched out a finger, pointed at the sturdy man at the door of the box, and then pointed at the sturdy yellow-haired man in the box.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and shared the lingering picture in his mind with his dear colleague at the speed of a machine gun: "I saw them hugging each other and kissing passionately!"

Suzuki Sonoko: "???"

Conan: "!!" Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about in front of Xiaolan!

Hashimoto Maya's volume was not too high, but the narrow corridor of the KTV amplified this sound.

This sentence floated along the corridor and floated all the way to the door of the box. Officer Takagi and Inspector Megure, who were blocking the sturdy man's questioning, were startled when they heard the words and took a step back.

The expressions of several other guests also became shocked. In an instant, all eyes were focused on the sturdy man.

I thought that the sturdy man would be angry and even punch him after his secret was exposed in public... However, unexpectedly, the other side did not seem to have any similar reaction.

The sturdy man just scratched the back of his head and looked at Hashimoto Maya speechlessly: "It's just a kiss, not sex, why are you so excited-you are already this age, are you still a baby who blushes when seeing a kiss?"

Hashimoto Maya: "?"

...Is it the kiss that scares me? You are already this age, don't you find that the person you kiss is different from others? ?

Seeing that the atmosphere is not right, the knowledgeable Inspector Megure quickly opened his mouth to mediate. He said: "Okay, okay, brother Hashimoto, you are a British, why are you still surprised when you see such a thing-and you, Mr. Arimoto, although this is the freedom between lovers, but you two grown men in public... Ahem, it is normal to scare some timid people. Let's not talk about this, let's solve the case first."

As he was speaking, a shadow suddenly fell from the side.

Inspector Megure turned his head in confusion, and saw that the yellow-haired man, who was as strong as the sturdy man, walked to their side with his sick body.

The next moment, under his confused gaze, the yellow-haired man roared hoarsely: "What do you mean by 'two grown men'? Can't you see that I'm a girl!"

"..."

"???"

Inspector Megure was stunned: "..." From the voice to the face to the hairstyle to the clothes... I can't tell, I can't tell at all!

Hashimoto Maya was also stunned: "But you were in the same bathroom just now..."

The yellow-haired man pressed his painful throat: "The bathroom in this store is not divided by gender, it is public, what's wrong with us hugging each other in there! You... cough cough, if you say those rude words again, be careful that I will be rude to you!"

As she said, she waved her fist as big as a sandbag, walked back to the sofa in the box, and fell on it weakly.

"..."

After several seconds, the sturdy man realized: "Oh, you thought she was a man, no wonder you reacted so strongly - haha, although we are both heavy fitness enthusiasts, we have more muscles on our bodies, but your observation skills are not very good."

Hashimoto Maya: "......?" What does this have to do with observation skills! Look at your girlfriend. Not to mention me, even Jiang Xia or Lord Usa might...

"That." A voice interrupted his guess. The front desk remembered something and whispered to Inspector Megure, "There is a surveillance camera installed in our store. If you want to find the murderer, do you want to check the surveillance?"

-It's rare for the God of Wealth to visit. If you solve the case early, you may be able to open the business earlier, so as not to miss this luck that falls from the sky.

"There is a surveillance camera?" Inspector Megure's eyes twitched, "Such an important thing, why didn't you say it earlier!"

...

However, it was different from the beautiful scene imagined by Inspector Megure of "seeing who killed someone from the surveillance camera" - the surveillance camera mentioned by the front desk was installed in the lobby of the KTV, and it could not illuminate the interior of the box at all. Even the scene behind the corner at the end of the corridor could not be seen clearly.

After experiencing ups and downs, the exhausted police chief could not help but sigh: "Can't you install more surveillance cameras?"

The front desk looked aggrieved: "It was only this surveillance camera that I had to persuade my father to install it - besides, my store is so small, what will it become if it is full of surveillance cameras? What will the guests think when they see it?"

Inspector Megure: "..." You persuaded your father to install the surveillance camera? I didn't expect that you are a hero...

His tone was slightly softened: "Thank you for your hard work. Let us see the surveillance camera during this period."

...

Soon, a surveillance video appeared on the screen, and the time was before all the guests arrived.

After zooming in, a clear "L"-shaped corridor appeared in the picture.

There is a wall on the left side of the corridor, and three private rooms on the right side. Private room 4 is at the end of the corridor facing the surveillance camera. Turn left at the end, there is an area that cannot be captured by the surveillance camera, and the deceased's private room 5 is there.

The receptionist pressed fast forward, and soon, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko walked into the screen, followed by Jiang Xia, Hashimoto Maya and Conan... Just like actors appearing on stage one by one, tonight's guests began to enter the store one after another. And the order in which they entered the door was exactly the same as the receptionist had just described.

While taking notes, Officer Takagi couldn't help muttering: This receptionist with dyed yellow hair looks like a gangster at first glance, but I didn't expect that he is quite reliable inside.

Hashimoto Maya looked at the surveillance screen with a complicated mood: "..." Is Uzo usually watching us from this God-like perspective? Looking at it this way, even his own movements in the surveillance seem to become weird and stiff...

Hashimoto Maya is watching the surveillance, but outside the surveillance, some people are watching him.

"Why does this person suddenly look solemn at the surveillance screen?" Conan touched his chin and speculated, "Did he find some of his own omissions in the screen through this outsider's perspective?... No, I have to take a closer look."

Conan moved closer, pretending to be a curious elementary school student, and watched with everyone.

...

In the surveillance.

As the guests took their seats, the corridor became silent and empty for a short time.

But not long after, suddenly, the door of Box 2 was pushed open with a click, and a thin figure walked out of it. He looked around, walked to the corner, and soon disappeared from the screen.

Inspector Megure looked at the direction where the thin man left, his eyes lit up: "You went to the deceased's box?"

The thin man was stunned and shook his head like an electric fan: "I just went to the toilet at that time!"

Inspector Megure: "..." That's right. I almost forgot that the deceased's box was right next to the toilet...

"Well, speaking of which, boxes 1234 are all under the surveillance. If the murder happened in these boxes, then the murderer can be seen at a glance now." He couldn't help muttering, "But the deceased went to box 5 outside the screen...
