Conan’s Corpse Picker

On the stage, the hero held the hand of the heroine, who was also his ex-girlfriend, and cursed in his heart, but looked affectionate on his face:

"Even if I go to hell, I don't want to be separated from you - the body may die, but love will turn us into stars and meet again in heaven."

Eiko Nakayama, who played the role of a waiter, walked onto the stage carrying a tray, placed the kettle and two glasses on the table, and bowed slightly.

At the same time, from an angle that the audience could not see, she glared at the heroine fiercely before turning around and leaving the stage.

Originally, she was the heroine of this play, but now, her role has been taken away by the person on the stage.

Actor Yuichi Uda pretends not to see the sparks between the two women.

He took the cup and poured water, and handed the paper bag containing the "love poison" to the heroine Oide Shoko. The two of them raised their heads and ate the white powder in the paper bag, drank the water in the cup, and then fell down gracefully. on the table.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were quite immersed.

Conan found this scene of committing suicide very embarrassing.

Just as the scene changed, the lights on the stage went dark. Conan took out his cell phone and planned to check the news and see if Kidd had been caught.

But as soon as I opened the web page and before I could click on the case I was interested in, there was a sudden faint commotion on the stage.

Conan's ears twitched and he looked up keenly, feeling something was wrong.

Ten seconds later, his premonition came true - a vague scream came from the stage, followed by the commotion and quarrels that became louder and louder.

Conan took advantage of the fact that he was a child, jumped out of his seat, ran over, and turned on the flashlight attached to his watch.

Next to the small round table, the male protagonist who had "succumbed to his love" had stood up with a vigilant look on his face.

But the heroine who "died for love" with him was still lying on the table, making no sound.

The staff gathered around her seemed to have checked her condition and were making emergency calls, while others were not very skillful in calling the police.

Conan's expression suddenly became solemn.

……problem occurs.

…

ten minutes later.

Several police cars arrived and the audience was evacuated from the venue. Before leaving, they were registered with their contact information and asked if they had noticed anything unusual.

In the chaos, a blond man with dark skin pressed the brim of his baseball cap, adjusted his mask, and silently entered the venue.

He sat down in a reserved seat in the corner, then took off his mask, pretending to be an audience member just now.

——Toru Amuro happened to go to the Metropolitan Police Department tonight.

Before leaving, I heard that a murder had occurred in Yoneka Town.

The overly familiar place name of Mihua Town reminded him of Jiang Xia, and he was a little concerned.

Then I heard the operator casually say to his colleagues after reporting the situation: Jiang Xia is also in the theater, and they don’t have to work overtime for too long today. According to the theater staff who called the police, there was a primary school student who called himself "Jiang Xia's Assistant" and was at the scene of the crime. The scene came alive and brought them the news.

When he heard about elementary school students, Toru Amuro couldn't help but think of two figures in his mind.

One was a little boy wrapped in a scarf who looked quite harmless, but seemed to have an anesthetic needle hidden in every pocket.

The other is a primary school student who wears glasses, talks like a child, and gets flat tires wherever he goes.

Coupled with the additional condition of Jiangxia...

Toru Amuro silently crossed out the first one.

The child running around under the banner of Jiang Xia at the crime scene was probably the boy with glasses who impressed him deeply. This child seems to be Jiang Xia’s neighbor...

With this basic information in hand, Toru Amuro couldn't help but think about the slow progress of his investigation into Jiang Xia, as well as the sudden increase in cases around Jiang Xia starting a few months ago.

Anyway, there was nothing important to do at night, so Toru Amuro simply took advantage of the chaos and went to the Mihua Art Theater, planning to see how Jiang Xia "solved the case" from another angle after he became suspicious.

The dead actress Shoko Oide was on the rise of her career recently. She was a celebrity with considerable potential, and she also had secret interactions with some big shots in private.

Maybe this trip will yield some unexpected surprises...or scares.

…

Mihua Arts Theater.

In the audience.

Miyano Akemi and Xiaobai leaned on Jiang Xia's body, leaning on his shoulders, and looked curiously towards the stage.

At this time, other audience members had already left.

The group of them stayed in the theater to help solve the case, relying on the detective's facial recognition and Conan's nudges.

…

When the new shikigami first appeared, Miyano Akemi followed the contract and reported the situation in the theater to Jiang Xia.

But because the distance is too far, there was a delay in the past and another delay in coming back. I haven’t heard Jiang Xia’s reply yet.

The auditorium where Jiang Xia was located happened to be in the second row, relatively close to the front.

Just now, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were pulled to register their phone numbers, while Conan was observing the crime scene.

Someone from the theater came over and talked to Jiang Xia in a low voice, trying to ask the famous detective for his opinion, but failed to get a reply - even after strengthening, the ghosts can temporarily take over the main body and make some simple actions when necessary. action. However, the characteristics of ghost fetuses prevent them from controlling speech, and naturally they cannot reason for Jiang Xia.

Fortunately, the staff member who came to inquire was more flexible in his thinking.

She looked at the detective's lost look, and then thought of Jiang Xia's reputation as a god in solving crimes. She thought it was some kind of unique way of thinking, so when she didn't get a response, she didn't dare to say anything anymore, and left quietly with a gentle step.

However, after she left, someone else approached.

——Five minutes later, a hand fell on Jiang Xia's shoulder from behind, and he patted it as if to say hello: "How are you, do you have a clue about this case? It's really easy for you to encounter a murder case."

Toru Amuro was secretly observing from the back row just now, wanting to see Jiang Xia's state when solving the case and whether he had any hidden interactions with certain people.

However, after watching it for a long time, Jiang Xia's state was that of sitting still in his seat.

The staff member who just came over to communicate seemed to have received no response.

Toru Amuro could only send a message secretly, asking Yuya Kazami who was among the criminal police to focus on the staff member who talked to Jiang Xia.

After waiting for a while, I found that Jiang Xia still had no intention of moving. Compared with previous reports, the case was much more passive in solving the case.

Spending it all the time is not an option. Toru Amuro simply walked over, planning to join the team that solved the case and see what Jiang Xia's reaction would be.

…

After being slapped from behind by Toru Amuro, his body's reaction was, of course, no reaction at all.

Miyano Akemi, who was sitting on Jiang Xia's shoulder, was startled. She jumped up a little in shock, then fell down again, hugging Jiang Xia's arm tightly.

Then she raised her head and looked at Toru Amuro, who was very large compared to her.
