Conan’s Corpse Picker

Toru Amuro happened to be next to Jiang Xia.

When I heard him say this, I walked around and looked at Qin Gai: "... Indeed."

At the same time, he frowned secretly, feeling a little confused.

...I always feel that Matsuda’s speed in searching for clues is a bit unusual.

This room is not too small. In addition to the piano, there are many places where clues may be hidden, including the cabinet next to it, the balcony, and behind the door. However, Matsuda immediately went around to the other side and observed the piano cover.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, Matsuda's eyes barely stopped elsewhere just now, and immediately came to the angle where the piano cover was facing.

It’s so fast that it’s like I knew there was a problem here in advance…

"..."

Tohru Amuro suddenly thought that this "so fast that it goes against common sense" when searching for clues gave him a strong sense of déjà vu...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at "Jiang Xia" who was also leaning over to check the bottom of the piano.

Of course, because just now, when faced with a car explosion, this "Jiang Xia" reaction was slightly inappropriate. In addition, this case is related to Kidd, and Toru Amuro suspects that the "Jiang Xia" next to him is actually Kidd in disguise.

so……

Could it be that Kidd disguised himself as Jiang Xia, and then disguised Jiang Xia as someone else? ——For example, the young man in front of me looks very much like "Matsuda" but calls himself "Kurosawa"?

This thought flashed through Amuro Toru's mind for a moment.

But when I think about it rationally, I find it a bit ridiculous.

And this assumption is full of holes.

First of all, in this case, when we played billiards together before, he couldn't explain the familiarity with "Kurosawa" - Matsuda is not keen on taking pictures, and even less so on videos. It is difficult for others to imitate his small movements through images. . In other words, if someone really deliberately imitated Matsuda's every move, it should have been when Matsuda was still alive.

When Matsuda was killed in the bombing, Jiang Xia was just 15 years old... Not to mention that Jiang Xia had no motive to imitate Matsuda. Even if there is, three years later, Jiang Xia's height has increased a lot compared to before, and his body shape has also changed accordingly. Even if he imitated her at the time, it must be different now.

Moreover, there is no reason for Jiang Xia to follow Kidd's advice and team up with this phantom thief to deceive his boss... After all, Jiang Xia knows that "Amuro Toru" is not just an ordinary "Amuro Toru" who likes to work part-time, but a dangerous "Bourbon" in the organization. . If this kind of identity is leaked, it is a dangerous thing for him, Jiang Xia, and the person who is forced to hear the secret. Jiang Xia has no motive to do this.

Toru Amuro: "..." Wait?

Think about it carefully, what is there to worry about?

——Whether he is disguised or not, you can tell by pinching Matsuda's face hard. After all, disguise is something that cannot be torn apart.

Thinking of this, Amuro couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at "Kurosawa" who was right next to him and could reach him with his hand, and moved his fingers.

But then he thought about it, and based on his observations, there were also cameras in this piano room.

If Matsuda is really disguised by someone else, and underneath the disguise is a face that shouldn’t be seen...

Tsk, let’s forget it first.

Then find an angle where the camera can't capture it and tear it apart slowly, so as not to be seen by strangers who don't know their position.

…

Toru Amuro's expression control is very good though. But Jiang Xia has worked with him for so long, and now he is very familiar with the way his boss makes up his mind.

Jiang Xia also knew that the speed with which he discovered clues was a bit suspicious...but what does that have to do with it?

Now that he was Uzo after all, it was no surprise that he knew anything.

In fact, if the imagination monsters increase their power, they may think that this entire incident was planned by him, an innocent passerby.

...It’s such a joy to open a trumpet account. I don’t need to explain myself if I’m misunderstood. In the future, if I encounter the person I was scared of, I might be able to scare him into something murderous.

As for what "Uzuo" and Jiang Xia have in common...

There are many kinds of geniuses in the world, and there is often more than one. Since there are geniuses for solving crimes, there can also be geniuses for crime. Isn't it very reasonable that the two can find clues at about the same speed?

...The only problem was that, for some reason, when Toru Amuro stared at him, he felt a phantom pain on his face. Obviously the puppets don't feel pain.

...Forget it, it’s not a big problem.

A puppet is different from a disguise. A solid puppet is not afraid of tearing. Only by cutting it off with a knife can you see the flaws in the internal structure.

But the boss should not do such crazy things. Of course, if he did it, he would probably be close to collapse. The broken boss cannot be kept, and can only be tied back to create a murderous perpetual motion machine...

…

The two of them walked away briefly.

Then he quickly thought of business again.

——There are even wet stains on the tilted lid of the piano, but there is not much water on the ground. This quickly reminded people of the small spray bottle on Gunda Ikumi.

If I remember correctly, Gunda Ikumi carried a bottle of luminol reagent with him, and he used it just now in the lobby.

The wet stains on the piano now were probably sprayed on by her to check for clues.

Luminol reagent is a commonly used prop when detecting blood stains. The strong oxidant produced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide in the solution and the ferrous ions in hemoglobin can make the reagent fluoresce.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro suggested: "Turn off the lights and take a look."

Kidd, who was dressed as Jiang Xia, responded, consciously walked to the wall and clicked off the light - employees should take the initiative to grab work when they are with the boss...

Kidd ran his errands quickly and felt that he knew how to assess the situation.

But suddenly he felt that Toru Amuro glanced at him, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, which seemed to further confirm that something was wrong.

But after turning off the lights, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and it was temporarily difficult for human eyes to see the surroundings clearly, and the same was true for Kidd.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether this was true or an illusion caused by his guilty conscience.

After his eyes adjusted to the light, he took a closer look and saw that Toru Amuro was not looking at him, but was focusing on the piano cover.

"..." Kidd hesitated for a moment. After all, he was still somewhat interested in the treasure and decided to get closer and follow it to find out.

...Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that he seemed to have been exposed.

Fortunately, there is still a murderer who killed the gourmet detectives staring behind the camera. Kidd should be just a secondary target of these detectives.

Before the murderer is solved, he won't become the most conspicuous target. As long as he escapes in time, it won't be a big problem...

…

As the surroundings darkened, several lines of fluorescent text appeared on the piano lid.

——This is a line of blood writing that has been tried to be cleared, but in the end it still left traces in front of the reagent:

[I finally hold the trump card to find the treasure - Kyosuke Senma]
