Conan’s Corpse Picker

After checking here, I quickly arrived at Box 3.

"This is brother Jiang Xia's box." Mumu Police Department suddenly remembered this matter and suddenly felt that there was no need to investigate here.

But it’s hard to skip this room in full view of everyone. He had no choice but to take people into the house and search it just as it was before.

The usual routine is to order a playlist, a microphone, and a drink cup... However, there are many people in this private room, so there is an extra pair of maracas to enhance the atmosphere - Suzuki Sonoko was shaking it wildly just now, trying to cover it with it Conan's singing, but unfortunately, this plan failed miserably.

"Maracas..." Police Department Megu looked at them suspiciously at first, and then remembered that this thing looked heavy, but in fact it was just a fragile instrument.

So he didn't look any further, passed by Maya Hashimoto who was secretly nervous, and went to box 4.

Box No. 4 is the room of the two muscular lovers.

The table here is a little messy. In addition to a few common things, there are also many snacks and a half-liter bottle of drink on the table.

"Why are you coming here to sing tonight?" Hearing the police's question, the burly man looked puzzled. "After working out, I stopped by to sing. What's the problem?"

"Huh?" Officer Takagi suddenly realized something. He picked up the bottle of drink on the table and said in surprise, "Isn't this the carbonated drink that just came on the market? I set the alarm clock to buy it in the morning, but as soon as I got there, it Already sold out."

The Mumu Police Department looked at the deserting subordinate with a slight twitch in his eyes: "..." What does this have to do with solving the case? What's the matter, do you still want to take a sip in the chaos? ...Wait a minute, didn't you leave your post without permission this morning because you had a stomachache? It turns out you went to buy a drink? ?

A certain boss secretly wrote a note to the subordinate who leaked the information.

Next to him, the burly man started chatting with Officer Takagi: "Yes, it's the latest model. After we bought it, we specially saved it for drinking during karaoke, hoping to double our happiness - but who knew it could actually It tasted so bad that we just took a sip and threw it aside.”

"Does it taste bad?" Hearing this, Officer Takagi felt slightly relieved from the discomfort of not buying the latest drink.

——Of course he didn’t want to drink it himself, but he heard Officer Sato mention this drink during the chat, so he wanted to buy it for his colleague.

"Looking at it now, it's a good thing I didn't buy it. Otherwise, it would be heartbreaking to think that Officer Sato would have just taken a sip and left the drink next to him." Officer Takagi muttered happily in his heart, "And if Officer Sato wanted to live up to his colleagues' He drank it all without hesitation, and then quietly lowered his favorability towards me because the drink tasted too bad... Wouldn’t it be even more uncomfortable?”

Secretly thankful, when he raised his head again, Officer Takagi belatedly noticed the faint gaze from his superior.

"!" Gao Muzhu was startled, and turned to Jiang Xia to find something to say, "Mr. Jiang Xia, do you think this bottle of drink, it, could it be a murder weapon?"

Jiang Xia looked at this non-staff policeman who was pretending to be working hard, and chatted nonsense with him tolerantly: "Of course. As long as you freeze it, it can become an easy-to-carry ice hammer - but unfortunately, At present, it seems that there are no signs of being frozen, and the murder weapon should be something else."

"That's it!" Officer Takagi cheered with 120% enthusiasm, "That's no problem, let's continue to search the next room!"

"What's the next room? This is the last one!" Police Department Memu couldn't stand it anymore and punched him on the head. "Stop wandering off and work hard!"

…

All the boxes, corridors, bathrooms... The police searched through this small KTV, but they were never able to find the murder weapon.

Even if one or two blunt objects that could be used as murder weapons were occasionally found, after inspection, there was no trace of blood on them - obviously, these were not used to beat the deceased to a bloody head.

The Mumu Police Department sighed with sadness. At this moment, his cell phone vibrated with a call.

The caller was the young police officer who just went to develop the photos: "Police Department, the photos... have been developed! The photos taken here... are a bit strange."

The bursts of electric sound mixed in the sentences made the already dizzy Police Department even more headache. He couldn't help but interrupt the report on the other side: "Where did you go to develop the photos? Why is the noise so loud? ...What did you say? Please speak louder, I can’t hear you clearly!”

He was pacing a little irritably, and as he walked, he suddenly could hear clearly.

"...It's really strange. Is this a problem on my side?" Police Department Mumu scratched his head in confusion, feeling like he understood, "That's right, this KTV doesn't have any windows, so the signal is almost normal."

"?" The receptionist suddenly took the blame, and he couldn't help but mutter, "The signal in the private room is indeed average, but the signal in the corridor is obviously very good - it's probably a problem with your mobile phone."

The two speakers each complained a few words, but did not take the matter to heart.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Tengdi, two pairs of eyes looked towards them.

The thoughts of Maya Hashimoto and Conan briefly synchronized: There are many reasons that can interfere with the signal, and it is not uncommon for the signal to be restored after taking a few more steps... But when Megure Police Department was pacing just now, he was clearly going deeper into the corridor. After walking over, why did his mobile phone signal get better?

Thinking about it again, when they answered the phone before, this police department was standing beside them.

Is it possible...

A thought suddenly popped up, causing the two secretive people, one big and one small, to break out in a cold sweat: Could it be that one of them was bugged? !

"Inspector!" Conan quickly reviewed the situation in his mind, wondering if he had said anything he shouldn't have said, while tugging at Inspector Megure's trousers, trying to take advantage of this new discovery.

He first quickly checked himself and found nothing. Conan lowered his voice and said to Inspector Megure: "The signal interference just now may be because someone of us was bugged. Don't make a sound..."

"Bug?!" Inspector Megure exclaimed, "Where is it? Who installed it for you?"

Conan: "..."

Others in the store: "?!"

The two FBI members eavesdropping on the street: "..."

"..."Conan silently swallowed back the words "Don't make a sound" that he couldn't say, and deeply reflected on his misunderstanding of the reliability of the police.

——If God could give him another chance to start over, he would definitely tell Jiang Xia about this first, instead of telling the sieve-like Inspector Megure... However, now that things have come to this, regret is meaningless.

Conan: "..." Let's first check whether the interference signal is a bug, and then make the next plan.
