Conan’s Corpse Picker

Conan chased after him and observed for a while, he couldn't tell whether Jiang Xia was awake or sleepwalking.

However, it doesn't matter, it can be called anyway-the widely circulated "waking up while sleepwalking will cause you to go crazy" is actually a rumor. On the contrary, if sleepwalkers are allowed to wander around, it will easily cause greater harm.

Of course, awakening also needs to pay attention to the method.

Try to avoid operations such as "shaking hard". Because of the blurred physical contact, it is easy to be judged as an "attack" by the sleepwalker, which will trigger a counterattack.

No matter what others do, counterattacks can also be suppressed.

But Jiang Xia...

Conan thought of those suspects with bruised noses and swollen faces, who looked like they saw their relatives after seeing the police, and silently withdrew their outstretched hands.

He stepped back cautiously and started making noise beside Jiang Xia.

It is a safe way to wake up by making sharp and abrupt noises.

...

Against the ear-piercing noise, Jiang Xia walked firmly to her room for a while.

He felt that Ryoichi Takahashi was almost gone, so he tapped his finger on Conan's head to silence the source of the noise that started howling for no reason.

Then he turned and went back to Mao Lilan's room.

...

In the middle of the night, there was such a commotion.

Others in the villa also woke up and gathered in Mao Lilan's room.

Takahashi Ryoichi had also changed his clothes and mixed into the crowd.

He caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia approaching from the corner of his eye, touched his thick hair with lingering fear, secretly glad that Jiang Xia didn't hit his forehead, but hit the side of his head, and the bruise would not be seen.

...

Knowing that dangerous elements had sneaked into the villa, everyone fell asleep.

Some people went to the balcony to check, trying to find traces of the man in the bandage, and some whispered about the origin of the man in the bandage, but the discussion failed.

in the living room.

Conan looked at the people in the room, leaned over to Jiang Xia and whispered:

"It's raining outside. If the man in the bandage had climbed onto the balcony from the outside and sneaked into our room just now, he would have stepped on the mud prints. But in fact, the room was very clean, with only a little rain mark... ..."

Conan did not say the remaining half of the sentence. But he believed that Jiang Xia must understand what he meant.

——The bandage man who attacked Mao Lilan was not an intruder from the outside world, but a member of this villa.

...

The enemy inside is the scariest, hard to guard against.

Of course, Conan thought, the suspect must first eliminate Jiang Xia.

Not to mention anything else, just now, just now, Jiang Xia and the bandage man appeared at the same time, which is enough to prove his innocence-Jiang Xia will never know the avatar technique.

Jiang Xia said perfunctorily, "Yes."

He glanced at Conan, feeling that ever since that KTV incident, Conan always treated him with an attitude of "You must know that I am Kudo Shinichi!"

Jiang Xia: "..." Why do you have to take off your vest?

...

Just thinking about it, Suzuki Ayako suddenly realized something.

She hesitated, "Why didn't you see Zhijiazi?"

The others were startled, and after looking at each other for a while, they ran to Tomokako Ikeda's room in a panic, trying to see where she was.

The door slammed open, and there was no one in the room.

At the same time, there were no traces of fighting such as bloodstains. A set of worn pajamas was thrown on the bed, and all the luggage was there—it seemed that Tomokako Ikeda changed her clothes by herself and left peacefully.

...

The handsome man with long hair looked at this scene and suddenly had a thought: "Could the person with the bandage be Chikako!? She is usually weird. I heard that many novelists have eccentricities. Maybe she was bewildered and replaced some kind of bandage." murderer……"

Conan interrupted his reasonable association: "The figure of the bandaged man is much thicker than that of Chikako's sister."

As he said that, Conan raised his hand and gestured: "When I stopped him, I hugged his waist, and it felt so thick."

Few people take what children say seriously.

Of course, no one paid any attention to the speculation that Ikeda Tomokako = bandage man.

The only thing that has reached a consensus is that someone is missing on a rainy night and cannot be left alone.

Gotta go find her.

...

A few minutes later.

A group of people took flashlights and umbrellas, went into the woods, and searched for Tomokako Ikeda separately.

Jiang Xia was in a group with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

On the one hand, they are more familiar with them, on the other hand, this can also effectively prevent Takahashi Ryoichi from coming over and chopping an ax after seeing Mao Lilan.

...

Takahashi Ryoichi did have a similar idea, and he was anxious to silence it.

However, when they separated, he saw Jiang Xia walking beside Mao Lilan. Immediately, he silently rested his mind.

He was a little apprehensive—the pillow that Jiang Xia threw over just now might have given him a little concussion, and until now, his head still hurts from time to time...

In the end, Takahashi went to his old classmate.

...

The woods at night are very dim, and the visibility is almost only the light range of a flashlight.

Ryoichi Takahashi was out of breath, deliberately ran slowly, and gradually separated from the team of classmates.

After successfully placing the order, he turned around and went straight to the place where he had an appointment with Tomokako Ikeda.

He picked up the ax that he had thrown outside the house before, and found Tomokako Ikeda waiting in the woods far away. Without further ado, he chopped off her head with an axe. Then severely split the person into several sections.

Dismemberment is not just for venting.

This is an important part of Takahashi Manufacturing's alibi.

Takahashi Ryo threw the body parts away. Then he lifted his shirt, took out the padding stuffed in front of his stomach, and after making room, he wrapped Tomokako Ikeda's head and hid it inside.

In this way, from the outside, he is still that Takahashi classmate with a beer belly. No one would have thought that his "big belly" was actually a human head.
