Conan’s Corpse Picker

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention. The police officer's accidental complaint made Maya Hashimoto suddenly alert.

He couldn't help but look down at the Megu Police Department: "..." As your newly recognized brother, I advise you to stop here and don't think too much - I don't want to suddenly receive any mission to assassinate a cadre of the Metropolitan Police Department, or I don't want to be killed. Received such a task but inexplicably carried out an independent execution.

"Yes, this is too coincidental. It's as if someone had arranged it deliberately."

Maya Hashimoto's fleeting guilty conscience was caught by some elementary school students who were observing him closely.

Conan's eyes moved vaguely between Maya Hashimoto and the front desk. Finally, he looked at the front desk and said in a long voice: "Brother, there are so many empty rooms, but why do you want to let the deceased uncle go to the surveillance room?" A blind box?”

"You kid, why are you talking so weirdly?" The front desk muttered and had no choice but to explain:

"I originally wanted to take the guest to Box 1, but he didn't stop when he got to the door, but walked straight back.

"Some guests have their own unique preferences for the location of the box. When I thought of this, I didn't bother to stop him and followed him to box No. 5...

"In short, if I have to say it, he chose the place of death himself. I am innocent."

The police department is still doubtful. At this time, Jiang Xia nodded: "Mr. The deceased seemed to be following us before he was alive - theoretically speaking, he would indeed prefer the secluded Room 5 to the crowded Box 1. The gentleman at the front desk should be right. That's right."

The little guy at the front desk nodded in agreement, looking at him with bright eyes.

"As expected of the God of Wealth, he speaks well!" The front desk person thought about how busy the night was and secretly thought, "When the case is over, I have to give this high school student a discount card and invite him to come and visit often - this is better than the counter. That liar lucky cat is much easier to use. My parents will be very happy to know that I am so clever."

Unlike the receptionist who was secretly happy, a primary school student next to him touched his chin and frowned.

Conan: "..." In terms of reasoning, Jiang Xia's strength goes without saying, and in fact, before Jiang Xia spoke, he had vaguely thought of this reason. But……

"If the truth behind 'accidentally leading the deceased into the death box' is really so ordinary, then what on earth was Maya Hashimoto so nervous about just now?" Conan always felt that he couldn't take it lightly, "Think about it again - there must be something involved in this matter. There are hidden secrets that I don’t know about.”

…

The suspicion at the front desk was temporarily eliminated, and everyone looked at the surveillance camera again.

After some fast forwarding, suddenly, the door of another box was opened - two muscular men left the box laughing and playing, and went to the bathroom together.

...Although they knew that the shorter one was a woman, the impactful scene on the screen still made everyone look away and politely avoid it.

When the two disappeared from the screen, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and their eyes returned to the screen.

Soon, someone else came out.

"This is..." Police Department Megure looked closely for a moment and recognized it, "Mr. Hashimoto? Why do you look so panicked in the surveillance video? What happened?"

Maya Hashimoto looked at the embarrassing self through the screen: "..." It's hard for me to explain this... But from another aspect, it's easy to explain - just lock you in a box and let you go The primary school student also followed up and sang a song, and you will know why I looked like that.

However, he was a seven-foot tall man, but he was scared away by a simple song from a primary school student... This sounded really embarrassing. If he really said it, it would seem like he was making excuses.

So after thinking for a moment, Maya Hashimoto said: "I...I also go to the toilet."

——Let me explain it in this way, pretending that I don't want to reveal the truth about the ugly singing of elementary school students, and I am protecting Conan's fragile face and soul.

And if these people still want to get to the bottom of it...then don't blame him for actually coming up with the plan of "everyone go and listen to Conan sing to me".

Fortunately, the Mumu Police Department didn't think too much, and Jiang Xia was considerate and didn't speak.

Only the hateful elementary school student opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, two female high school students struck like lightning and covered his mouth. They seemed to be confused about the reason why Hashimoto Maya left the box. Knowing everything.

The two sides looked at each other, and Maya Hashimoto smiled gratefully at them: "..." Compared with the elementary school student who was inherently evil, the other colleagues were made to look like good people...

…

Following Maya Hashimoto, the old man in box No. 1 also left the box and turned around the corridor to the surveillance blind corner.

Officer Takagi held his notepad and answered skillfully: "Are you going to the bathroom too?"

Unexpectedly, this time, the answer was different.

The old man dressed in fishing gear shook his head: "I went to buy cigarettes."

"Buying cigarettes?" Police Department Mumu was a little confused at first, but then he remembered - at the end of the corridor, at the door of the bathroom, there was indeed a vending machine with a lot of cigarettes on the rack.

The old man followed up and said: "But I didn't buy it - there were no cigarettes that I usually smoke in the vending machine. I hesitated for a while and finally gave up."

The time he disappeared from the surveillance footage was indeed very short, only two minutes. Soon the old man returned to his box and pushed in the door.

"Mr. Honma and Mr. Arimoto have just returned to the private room." Inspector Megure checked the record he had just written and suddenly found a problem, "Mr. Hashimoto, did you stay in the bathroom for a long time?"

Hashimoto Maya: "..." That kid looked like a microphone tyrant, who knows how long he wants to sing...

Hashimoto Maya glanced at Conan, paving the way for her to reveal the truth later: "I... I had a stomachache at the time."

Inspector Megure hummed, said nothing, and continued to watch.

After a long time, Hashimoto Maya finally appeared on the surveillance screen. He came back from the direction of the bathroom, paused in front of the high school students' private room for a while, and seemed to stick to the door to listen, and then pushed the door open.

Inspector Megure: "... What are you doing again?"

Two female high school students: "..." Although it was already guessed, it seems that Mr. Hashimoto is really avoiding Conan's song.

When I think of Hashimoto Maya preferring to be suspected rather than reveal the truth about the elementary school student's bad singing...

Mouri Ran was touched, and she considerately helped Hashimoto Maya to smooth things over: "Maybe he was worried about disturbing us while we were singing. I am more introverted, and if someone opened the door while I was singing, I would be embarrassed to continue singing - Mr. Hashimoto is such a good person."

Conan: "?"

... Why did you start too!
