Conan’s Corpse Picker

As she spoke, Vermouth pressed the send button, then picked up the dart on the table and threw it at the wall.

With a click, a silver light flashed, and the dart hit the bull's eye.

There was a round dartboard hanging on the wall, with three photos fixed on it with thumbtacks: one of them was a lively and cute female high school student, another was a primary school student with glasses who was thinking about something with his head down, and the style of the third photo was out of tune with the first two - it was a young woman in a white coat. She had short brown-red hair and a highly recognizable mixed-race face. It was just a pity that at this time, a big cross was drawn on her beautiful face with a black marker.

And the dart was firmly nailed in the center of the cross.

Vermouth stared at the photo for a long time, and picked up the phone again.

...

On the other side.

Gin went to bed early today, and lay down at 2 a.m. However, just after sleeping at 3 a.m., the phone buzzed and a message came.

"..."

The cadre who was sleeping in his clothes picked up his phone and secretly decided that if the person who sent the message had nothing important to do, he would shoot him to let him know the consequences of disturbing others' rest.

...Then he saw a spam email that was written in a long and rambling manner but had no focus.

Gin: "..."

A cadre with murderous intent silently buckled the pistol at his waist.

Unfortunately, the guy who sent the letter had a close relationship with "that adult". If there was no sufficient reason, it would be difficult to touch her.

So Gin put down the gun and planned to block the guy who sent harassing emails in the middle of the night. But perhaps because he had been awake for a while, his reason gradually recovered, and soon, he stopped.

"No, although that woman always has some sudden and boring actions, her behavior is not illogical. She suddenly sent these things, in addition to being drunk, there must be other reasons."

-Although there is no evidence, I always feel that this guy is going to make trouble.

"Take some time to let Vodka go over and take a look." Gin quickly came up with a solution. "Look at it in a positive way. Maybe that woman is just used to being tormented by Uzo in the past. So she is a little uncomfortable with the sudden silence recently."

...

When Vodka sneezed one after another.

New clinic.

Vermouth sent a message to another person.

—— Calvados, a sniper with decent skills.

Unlike Cohen and Chianti who stay in Tokyo all year round, Calvados is more often on the field because he looks more normal than these two people. He travels around all year round on the high-speed rail.

Vermouth had some contact with him and could see that he was loyal to her. She sent a gorgeously worded email. Although it was a long string, the core meaning was only one-where are you now?

Almost as soon as the email was sent, before I had time to put down the phone, the other party's reply came.

[In Osaka, if you need me, I will rush to your side immediately. ]

Vermouth: "..." Osaka is not far from here, as long as it is not on the other side of the world.

After confirming that this helper can arrive at any time, she replied leisurely: [Don't worry, concentrate on the task first. It's not time for you to take action yet. ]

"It's better if he is not in Tokyo, so that it is less likely to be noticed by Uzo." Vermouth felt that everything was going smoothly. She raised her hand and looked at the moonlight in the gap between the curtains through her fingers. "Stealing that bottle of sherry from under Uzo's nose, this feeling... is really exciting."

...

Distant Osaka.

Calvados looked at the sender column devoutly for a while, then put away the phone silently.

Next to him, the temporary partner who was staring in another direction rolled his eyes at him: "We are on a mission now! How dare you be distracted and play with your phone? I think you are tired of living."

"I'm not playing." Calvados whispered, "I have turned on the do not disturb mode, only she can send messages - my goddess needs me. She is in trouble."

"..."

The temporary partner rolled his eyes again and kept silent: Although he didn't often partner with Calvados, as a sniper in the organization, he had heard of this guy - in short, this guy is a licker of the "Thousand-Faced Witch", and he is hopelessly licking.

But the target hasn't come yet. When the "Thousand-Faced Witch" was mentioned, the gossipy heart of the temporary partner surged, and he also began to quietly slack off: "Why do you say she encountered difficulties? Did she ask you for help?"

"No." Calvados said, "But when she is not in trouble, she will not contact me."

"..." The temporary partner reacted, "Wait, aren't you very clear about your position in her heart? Why do you still want to be her licker?"

"Not a licker, but a believer of the goddess." Calvados corrected seriously. He felt that this colleague's thinking was very strange. "Isn't it fair for an ordinary person like me to help in exchange for her temporary attention? - Otherwise, why would someone like her keep her eyes on me?"

Temporary partner: "..."

Sure enough, he will never understand licking dogs in his life.

If he can't understand it, he won't read it. He warned: "Don't slack off on the task, otherwise if something goes wrong, all the responsibility will be borne by you."

...

Calvados did patiently complete the task.

But as soon as he finished work, he didn't care about sleeping. He turned on the computer as soon as he returned to the safe house.

He kept entering the password and unlocked countless locks. Finally, he opened the hidden folder.

Videos taken from the news were displayed one by one. Calvados clicked on the latest one, and soon, a gentle young man popped up on the screen.

——It was the school doctor of Teitan Junior High School, Dr. Shinde.

But at the same time, Calvados knew that he had another identity - the Thousand-Faced Witch, Vermouth.

"Is this the disguise you have been using recently?" Calvados reached out and touched the screen with fascination, "A man's skin can't hide your beauty, but what trouble have you encountered?"

Although Vermouth never told him about this new identity, he has watched all the videos and interviews of the Thousand-Faced Witch.

No matter what the disguise is, there are always some habitual small movements and the posture exposed when you relax occasionally that cannot be changed. Knowing that Vermouth went to Tokyo, Calvados began to pay attention to what happened there. And a report of a murder case made him notice this "Dr. Shinde" who had a vaguely familiar atmosphere.

After staring at the doctor for a long time, Calvados reluctantly moved his eyes to the detective next to her.
