Conan’s Corpse Picker

Vodka: "..." And strictly speaking, this can't even be considered taking the blame. Because he really wanted to see Calvados suffer, so he didn't take any action.

After analyzing it from the perspective of others, Vodka broke into a cold sweat.

"...What a cunning way to kill someone with a borrowed knife! Fortunately, I saw through it."

The victim of the ruse scolded two colleagues while gritting his teeth and conveyed the situation to Calvados about the police's search for the gun.

…

Calvados, who was among the guests at the banquet, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and found it was a message from Vodka.

"This guy just told me not to contact him, and now he starts contacting me?"

While muttering, he clicked on the email.

After seeing the content clearly, Calvados frowned and slowly touched his waist.

...The police actually want to search for guns?

"I thought the murderer would be caught on the spot by the detective who came up, but he wasn't... huh, a bunch of trash."

He suddenly regretted not leaving in time - at the banquet just now, those high school students had obviously made an impression on him. If he disappears from the venue after the incident, it may further arouse the suspicion of the police and make it difficult for him to move around Osaka.

In addition, the man did not kill himself, so Calvados had the confidence to stay here. But now it seems...

"If the gun is found on my body, I will be in trouble." Looking at the police who had sealed the door in the distance and were communicating with the guests, Calvados gritted his teeth and walked to the table.

Reluctantly, he took out the precious pistol from his body, wiped it and hid it under the table: "I'm sorry, please stay here for a while. I will pick it up when the matter is over."

…

For things like body searches, the police department and high school detectives definitely don't need to be involved in person.

Therefore, Jiang Xia stayed in Room 203 and continued to inspect the scene with the Otaki Police Department.

"The deceased's left hand was holding the belt, and his right hand was in a strange state - the little finger and ring finger were folded together, and the other three fingers were straight." Otaki Police Department had a sense of sight, "This is to leave us a message of death. ?”

"Belt, belt...huh?!"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly remembered something, slapped her palm, and reasoned confidently:

"Speaking of belt, I remember that the word is related to boxing - when I hired a team to make a game, someone suggested using a 'golden belt' to symbolize the 'king' like boxing. But I think the look of that belt is a bit It was strange, so I gave up the proposal... Since the deceased was holding the belt, could the murderer actually be the boxing champion? "

The Otaki Police Department thought for a while and felt that it didn't make sense: "Even if we ignore their alibi and just look at the death message, what does the movement of the deceased's right hand mean? - I remember the information just now said that this boxer Wang loved the number '4'. If it was really him, the deceased should not only hold the belt but also sign a '4' with his right hand, but in fact only three fingers were stretched out on his right hand."

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye's attention went to another thing: "Game? What game."

"!" Suzuki Sonoko realized later that she had let slip. She thought of the many memorable scenes in that game and curled her toes slightly, "No, it's nothing! It's just a mini-game - to solve the case, solve the case first!"

At the door, Vodka listened to these conversations and couldn't help but glance over here. He looked at Suzuki Sonoko with extremely complex eyes: "..." Sure enough, that incredible Jiang Xia game was made by this woman... She actually customized a game of that level specifically for Uzuo. I really don't know what her relationship with that little game was. Minions, who is the number one general under Uzuo?

Others in the room had never seen a certain game that was quietly circulating. When they heard Suzuki Sonoko shouting about solving the case, their attention immediately focused on the case in front of them.

"Speaking of winners and kings...could it be that football star?" Otaki Police Department thought for a while, "I remember that he once won championships in three countries: Spain, Italy and the United States."

Conan immediately retorted: "In addition to these three countries, he also won the British Prime Minister's Cup - the murderer cannot be him."

Mao Lilan also felt that this approachable football star would be the murderer. She raised three slender fingers and made a gesture, suddenly having an idea:

"Could it be referring to the baseball star? - I remember when the baseball pitcher pitched, he would hold the ball with three fingers like this and throw it hard."

"That's right!" Toyama Kazuya also thinks so, "And the baseball player is right above the murder scene. From a straight-line distance, he is closest to the deceased!"

Otaki Police Department scratched their heads: "But in this case, the information on the right hand matches, what about the belt on the left hand? - The baseball star was dragged down by the team and has never won a championship, and even if he is a baseball player, he can The prize for the championship will not be a belt.”

Vodka always felt familiar looking at the scene at the crime scene.

"Wait a minute, isn't this what our mutual aid group looks like when discussing the murderer?" Vodka's eyes twitched slightly, "Would you like me to give you some small black coins to cheer you up?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to open a mutual aid meeting for passers-by and start a game to relieve the tense atmosphere.

But after looking at the detectives and policemen not far away, Vodka silently gave up the idea after weighing the situation.

"Unlike last night, I was also present at what happened this time." Vodka muttered in his heart:

"Compared to Calvados who knows nothing about Uzo, I, who know Uzo's true identity, have a natural advantage - in other words, when danger comes, I can run faster than my teammates.

"But now once the passers-by mutual aid association is connected, Vermouth will see the situation on the scene. If she gave Calvados a hint at the critical moment, I would have lost my advantage..."

Thinking of this, Vodka rationally gave up the idea of ​​opening the market.

In the end, he just took out his mobile phone and quietly sent a report message to Gin.

...

No more information could be found at the crime scene for the time being, so the group went to the hall where the guests gathered.

In the hall, in addition to searching for guns, the police also gave the guests a gunpowder reaction - if the murderer could be found in this physical way, there would be no need to crack the puzzling death message.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan who was frowning and thinking, and then looked at Jiang Xia who was obviously not paying attention to the case in front of him, and sighed silently.

"These two guys, one of them selfishly doesn't want his idol to be the murderer, and the other one is distracted every time he encounters such a villain being killed... Hum, Tokyo detectives are still too naive. At this time, I still have to rely on you. "
