Conan’s Corpse Picker

Mrs. Jiujiu did come for this. She thought for a moment and started from the beginning: "A week ago, my husband was resting at home. I went out for a while. When I came back, I couldn't find him anywhere."

"Except for work, he rarely goes out. Even if he leaves home, he will tell me. I thought it was a bit strange, so I looked for him everywhere.

"All the rooms were empty. Later, I suddenly remembered something and went to his magic basement. As soon as the door opened, I saw... I saw him lying on the ground motionless. I touched him and he was already cold. "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiujiu pressed her forehead in pain: "I called the police and called an ambulance. In the end, the police gave me the conclusion that my husband committed suicide by taking poison - according to their tests, he was poisoned by a toxin called 'aconitine'."

"Aconitine? "Conan was a little surprised that it was not potassium cyanide this time, but as a diligent and studious detective, he was not unfamiliar with this poison. "I remember that this is a neurotoxin, mainly extracted from the leaves and rhizomes of plants such as Chuanwu and Caowu, and only two milligrams are fatal. Once a sufficient amount of aconitine enters the human body, the person will die quickly in just a few minutes. "

"Oh? You even know about aconitine. As a primary school student, your knowledge is too broad. "

A voice suddenly came from the door. Conan turned his head suddenly and saw a black-skinned man with blond hair pushed the door and walked in.

... Boss Amuro? This guy came too coincidentally!

Conan thought of what he had just said, and broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his shield skillfully: "It's all because of Brother Jiang Xia's good teaching. I often watch him solve cases!"

"Really." Amuro Toru laughed sarcastically, "I don't remember Jiang Xia solving a case related to aconitine. Which case did you learn it from? ”

Conan: “…?” “The cases that Jiang Xia has solved are so numerous that a collection of clippings can no longer contain them, but you can actually remember this little detail?…Are you investigating him?

He became more and more certain that Boss Amuro should indeed be classified in the same category as vodka and Hashimoto Maya.

But now doesn’t seem to be the time to delve into these things—before figuring out the purpose of this weird boss, he has to cover up the flaws that he accidentally revealed.

Conan maintained his childish innocence and deliberately said childish words: “I am the future successor of Brother Jiang Xia, so he was very serious when he taught me, and he would extend the teaching, and he talked about these things.”

Amuro Toru: “…”There is some truth in that…but for some reason, he always felt that this child was weird, with a strong sense of disobedience.

But how weird can a child be?

Just as he was thinking about it with some confusion, Jiang Xia suddenly interrupted and said, “Boss? Why are you here? ”

The hot water next to him was bubbling. Toru Amuro came back to his senses and picked up the teapot to make a few cups of hot drinks.

He did not answer Jiang Xia's question, but just put the steaming drinks on the coffee table and joined the case smoothly.

——The Amuro Detective Agency is equipped with surveillance and corresponding infrared sensors. As soon as someone came in, he immediately received the news.

After a closer listen, it turned out that the person who came here was the wife of a deceased magician... The keyword "magician" made Toru Amuro, who was originally nearby, leave the Metropolitan Police Department and rush over.

——Although he himself is not so interested in magic, according to the news he received, Hashimoto Maya was not only involved in a magician murder case yesterday, but before that, this subordinate of Uzo also appeared in a magic show, which directly led to the head of the FBI being invited to drink tea.

Let's put aside the annoying FBI aside, based on his understanding of Uzo, what happens next may still be related to "magic". So this case that came to his door... he must participate.

Thinking of this, Amuro Toru sat next to Jiang Xia and asked Mrs. Jiujiu opposite like a detective: "Go on, you were the only one who found the body in your basement at that time?"

Conan looked at him quietly: "..." This guy didn't ask about the previous situation at all, but joined the case without any hindrance... He was eavesdropping at the door before? Or did the eavesdropping device in this store work.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look around. This seemingly ordinary detective agency seemed to be covered with spider webs in his eyes, like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.

Across the coffee table, Mrs. Jiujiu didn't notice these small details. When she heard the detective's question, she hurriedly said: "It's not just me, but my husband's three apprentices also helped to find people at that time."

Amuro Toru's ears moved: "Three apprentices? "

The number 3 touched a sensitive nerve in him - Wu Zuo seemed to like to gather such a number of suspects, and it seemed that he had made the right decision to come to the office today.

Mrs. Jiujiu mistakenly thought that his focus was on the word "apprentice". She explained: "I don't know if you usually pay attention to the magic world - my husband Jiujiu Motoyasu is very famous all over the world, so there are many people who come to learn from him. The three apprentices are the best among them, and they are also the few talented magicians recognized by my husband. "

Amuro Toru became interested: "Tell me in detail." Maybe among these three people, there is a target that Wu Zuo wants to collude with or persecute.

Mrs. Jiujiu obviously watched Jiang Xia's crime reports frequently, and she was prepared for this. She reached into her bag and took out a group photo.

"The man behind is my husband, and the three in front are his apprentices."

She pointed to a handsome young man first: "This is the most promising of the three, 'Sanada Kazuzo'. You should have heard of him. He has now become the pillar of miracle magic - he is also recognized by the outside world as the 'successor of Kujuku Motoyasu'."

Next to Sanada Kazuzo is a man with average looks: "This is Momochi Yuji. He has just started not long ago, and his skills are the lowest among the three apprentices, but he is improving very quickly. With time... Oh, forget it, my husband has passed away, so I won't say these useless words."

Mrs. Kujuku sighed, and finally pointed to the beautiful woman on the other side: "This is Miyoshi Asako. Although she is not as famous as Sanada, her skills are also very superb. She is definitely ranked among the young generation of magicians, and among female magicians, no one can surpass her."

Conan looked at the photo and was suddenly startled.

-This group photo seems to have been taken temporarily during practice. Several apprentices are holding their own magic props.

Among them, Sanada Kazumi was holding a handful of playing cards, Momochi Yuji was holding a few small balls, and Miyoshi Asako... had a dove on her shoulder, and was fiddling with a white rose between her slender fingers.

Conan: "..." Wait, this rose... why does it look so familiar?
