Conan’s Corpse Picker

"You kid!" Maori Kogoro wanted to hit Conan on the head, but unfortunately he couldn't hit him, so he had to wave his fist in the air:

"That's why I said those guys were too much - considering the large commission... well, I mean considering his sincerity, I originally planned to help him find it reluctantly, but who knew that when I ran all the way to the place, he actually said that the cat went home by itself! That guy must be making fun of me."

Jiang Xia comforted the neighbor uncle a few words, fortunately Maori Kogoro was also a casual person, and soon put this unpleasant thing behind him.

After complaining about the annoying client, Maori Kogoro raised his head and looked at the hospital not far away through the car window: "Pack up and get ready to come out, I'm almost there."

...

Not long after, the group left the hospital and drove home.

Halfway through the journey, a shadow suddenly enlarged in the car lights - there was actually a car parked in the middle of the road.

"What's going on? Who parked the car randomly!" Maori Kogoro stepped on the brakes and looked out in confusion, "Wasn't the car that had an accident just now towed away by the traffic police? Why is there another one?"

Just as he was watching, a young woman with a thin waist and long legs pushed the door out. She looked around and walked towards the car.

Maori Kogoro: "!"

He tidied his clothes at a speed that even Jiang Xia couldn't see clearly. The originally sloppy suit instantly became like a dress. Then he grabbed the perfume and sprayed it a few times in the shocked eyes of several high school students. He pushed the door out in a bright and beautiful manner, holding the car door with one hand, and stood by the car in a chic posture.

At the same time, the young woman in the car in front walked to their car.

"..." Maori Ran saw her beautiful face through the car window and finally understood what her father was crazy about. Her eyes jumped and her fists hardened.

"Beautiful lady." Maori Kogoro knew nothing about the scene in the car. He looked at the person walking towards him and lifted his hair. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The woman on the other side froze, feeling that she had found the wrong person.

But standing beside the car, she saw that there were still a few students in the car, and her expression slowed down again. She asked, "I was in a hurry to go home for a family dinner, but because I came back too quickly, I forgot to refuel, and the car broke down. There is no signal here and I can't get a taxi. If you don't mind, can you take me to the mountaintop villa over there? I will definitely give you a reward that will satisfy you."

"Of course!" Maori Kogoro waved to Suzuki Sonoko in the back seat without saying a word, "You, squeeze over there and make room for this lady."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

She rolled her eyes at the neighbor uncle who forgot his loyalty for the sake of beauty, but still moved a little as he said. It was already dark, and it did not look safe for a young woman to stay alone on this mountain road.

"Thank you." The woman opened the car door and got in the car.

The car drove towards the mansion on the top of the mountain.

…

On the top of the mountain, in the Horita residence.

The long table in the restaurant was covered with a clean tablecloth, and a sumptuous banquet was placed on it. President Horita sat at the end of the long table, and on his left and right sat his eldest son, daughter-in-law, second son, and Akai Shuichi.

Akai Shuichi lowered his head and stared at the plate in front of him: "…"

It's not that he is suspicious by nature, but he just witnessed a potassium cyanide murder not long ago. Looking at this table of delicious food, he has no appetite at all.

And next to him, the minds of the other people are obviously not on the banquet.

President Horita's eldest son smiled and said to his father enthusiastically: "Why did you come back so late? We thought you had an accident on the way and were very worried."

His wife also joined in: "Yes, fortunately, Dad is lucky and he is not in danger."

President Horita's second son looked around and quickly followed up: "Yes. I don't have any other wishes now. I only hope that Dad can take good care of himself."

Akai Shuichi, who was out of tune with the atmosphere at the table: "..."

He picked up the glass and pretended to drink a sip of water to fool the speech that had nothing to do with him.

At the head of the table, President Horita was obviously quite pleased to hear his son and daughter-in-law's words.

At this time, the butler pushed the dining cart into the house. There was an ice bucket on the dining cart, and the butler carefully took out a bottle of red wine from it.

He held the bottle of wine and said to President Horita: "This is the red wine produced by the French Petrus Winery in 1979. It is a birthday gift specially prepared for you by Master Haoyi."

As he said, he opened the bottle cap and poured it for everyone.

Shuichi Akai looked at the clear red liquid in the glass: "..." Petrus, this winery is quite famous, and the wines produced are all recognized as the best red wines in the world... But the more it is like this, the more people dare not drink it.

He took the wine glass and sniffed it carefully, trying to tell whether there were any toxins hidden in it that shouldn't be there.

At this time, his ears moved, and he suddenly heard something, and turned his head to look out the window.

President Horita, who was waiting for the guests to give praise, was startled when he saw this, and also looked out: "What's wrong?"

Shuichi Akai put down the wine glass: "There is a sound of a motor outside, do you have other guests tonight?"

"No." President Horita, "I deliberately turned down all my schedules today, just wanting to spend my birthday quietly. No one should be so tactless as to come and disturb me today."

Beside him, the eldest son who served the red wine secretly rolled his eyes, suspecting that the guest was the helper invited by the second son. He said to Akai Shuichi: "It must be the sound of the wind outside. This is the top of the mountain. It is windy at night. It is normal that you heard it wrong."

As he said, Horita Koichi stood up with the wine glass in his hand, and brought the topic back on track, bringing the focus of the banquet back to the bottle of red wine he had carefully obtained.

"Okay. It's rare for everyone to get together. Today, let's put aside other chores and celebrate my father's 58th birthday together." He raised his glass to President Horita, "Happy birthday!"

President Horita nodded, thinking that this eldest son was much more sensible than before.

He was about to drink, but at this time, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Wait!"

"?"

Everyone was startled, and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw President Horita's second son.

Ryoji Horita turned the wine glass and gave his brother a sly smile: "Brother, why don't you drink first?"

"?" Horita Koichi frowned, "What do you mean?"

Ryoji Horita looked at him, and his originally refreshing smile turned bad: "Do I even need to ask this? Of course I'm worried that the wine is poisonous."

Akai Shuichi couldn't help but look at him: "..." Although this was too blunt, it was undeniable that this person actually thought the same as him.
