Conan’s Corpse Picker

While Mrs. Shinmei was anxiously saying “Wait!”, the elevator door completely closed…

Then it stopped in place.

“…?”

Inspector Megure pressed the button: “Go, why don’t you move?”

Amuro Toru walked forward without looking and swiped his card: “The elevator here has safety measures. Only staff and guests can use it by swiping their cards.”

“…”Inspector Megure blushed and cleared his throat as if nothing had happened, “I was in a hurry to save people and forgot for a moment.”

“Save people?” Amuro Toru glanced at Jiang Xia. The policeman’s statement seemed to be different from Jiang Xia’s. “Save who?”

The elevator went up at a steady speed. The 24th floor was not low, and it would take some time to get there. It was idle anyway. After hesitating for a moment, Inspector Megure simply told the situation to the brother Amuro who had just helped them.

Amuro Toru thought: “I see…”

Conan’s ears moved: “?” What’s going on? Judging from the words of this black-skinned boss, is there another hidden story?

He was about to ask, but at this moment, the elevator stopped and the door slid open to both sides.

The people in the elevator immediately became alert. With Inspector Megure's serious wave, they drew their pistols, stepped lightly, and filed out.

Jiang Xia looked at his empty hands and followed him out in boredom.

…

Room 2407 was not far from the elevator. Soon, the police came to the front of the room and hid on both sides of the door against the wall.

Inspector Megure looked at the closed door and was about to break in. Who knew that at this moment, with a click, someone actually opened the door from the inside.

"?!" The police did not expect things to develop like this. They raised their guns alertly, ready to subdue the criminals who came out at any time.

Under the gaze of everyone, a half-bald middle-aged man yawned and walked out tiredly.

When he looked up and saw Inspector Megure blocking the door, he was stunned for a moment and stopped: "Who are you...?"

Inspector Megure: "..."

...How come this frail little body and this dark-skinned face of an overworked worker are not the same as the vicious and fanatical criminal he imagined?

But forget it, it's not a big deal. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Let's catch him first.

He waved his hand and rushed over at the same time: "Go! Don't be careless!"

Hearing him say this, the police officers who were a little relaxed immediately tensed up again. They rushed forward as if facing a great enemy... and then easily subdued this powerless guy.

Next to him, Jiang Xia looked into the house across the chaotic arrest scene.

This room is a suite, and the bedroom door and the room door are just in line. Standing at the door, you can see a person lying on the bedroom bed. Even the thick quilt can't cover his fat beer belly.

Shinname Kaori also ran over eagerly. She stood beside Jiang Xia and looked inside. Seeing the person on the bed clearly, she rushed in anxiously: "Dad!"

The white-haired old author's eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes in surprise.

At the same time, the doctor who was pressed to the ground by layers of pressure also said anxiously: "Let me go! You bunch of rude guys, I'm just here for a consultation!"

"To make a consultation?" Inspector Megure handcuffed him and reluctantly signaled his subordinates who were also holding him down to move away. Then he asked, "Don't talk about those nonsense. First, explain why you kidnapped Mr. Shinname!"

"He is not a kidnapper!"

A voice came from the direction of the elevator-the elevator went down and came up again, picking up Mrs. Shinname with an anxious face.

Mrs. Shinname trotted over and explained with heavy breathing: "He is my husband's attending physician, and he came here to diagnose the disease."

Shiname Kaori threw herself on her father and wiped her tears. Hearing this, she looked around vigilantly, sat up and protected the person on the bed: "Could the kidnapper still be hiding in the room?"

Jiang Xia stepped over the staggering person and walked into the house: "Now it seems that there has never been a so-called 'kidnapper' here."

"No kidnappers?" Inspector Megure was stunned, "But those letters for help hidden in the magazine..."

Mrs. Niina looked at Jiang Xia and said helplessly: "This kid is right, there is no kidnapper in this incident. If we must find a mastermind... then strictly speaking, he should be my husband himself."

Niina Rentaro, who was lying on the bed, heard this He coughed twice and laughed breathlessly: "I'm very sorry, I really didn't expect, cough, I didn't expect to cause such a big scene - my daily happiness comes from completing my work and being praised by readers. But after writing books for 40 years, there is another kind of happiness that I haven't experienced..."

He took two breaths and smiled happily: "That is, I want to see readers solve the puzzles I set before the answer is revealed - even if it's only once, I want to see their confident and proud expressions."

As he said, he tried to turn his head and looked at Jiang Xia who was approaching.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He looked at the Shinname Rentaro who was hanging on his breath, and then looked at the Shinname Kaori who was kneeling beside the bed and looking up at him with tears on her face, and sighed helplessly. Then he recalled the way Kudo-san looked when he solved the case in the past, and imitated a confident smile with a similarity of up to 90%.

Amuro Toru at the door: "..."It's really hard for this humble employee to show that kind of expression...

As he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Shinna Shotaro: Speaking of which, since you have this wish, why didn't you come to the detective agency to find Jiang Xia earlier? Make sure you experience this kind of happiness every day until you can’t laugh anymore.

Today's plan was disrupted by the police who broke in for no reason. Toru Amuro was inevitably angry at the old man, but seeing how the other man looked like he was about to die soon, he couldn't get angry anymore.

The foggy dog ​​looked up at him and tugged at the murderous aura on his body in surprise: Why is the boss so fluffy today? With a gentle tug of the murderous aura, a large mass of murderous aura was obtained... In this case, they will not be polite today. .

When the ghosts are busy working.

Next to it, the scene of solving the crime, which is intertwined with warmth and embarrassment, continues.

Niina Kahori's fists were also loose and hard, hard and loose, but looking at her father's weak appearance as if he was out of breath, she could only say one thing: "Dad, please stop talking."

Mr. Shinname closed his eyes peacefully and leaned back on the pillow.

"Husband!" Mrs. Shinname exclaimed, rushed to the bedside, took a breath, and found that her husband was not dead, but simply closed his eyes. She was relieved.

Then she turned around and explained apologetically to a group of people who entered the room: "Two months ago, my husband learned that his end was approaching, and he hoped to fulfill the wish he just mentioned before he died."
