Conan’s Corpse Picker

The short-lived ad was over soon, and the live broadcast continued.

After a while, when a 4-minute commercial was interrupted.

The host left the studio with the excuse of "going to the bathroom with a stomachache".

He had already made a murderous attempt on Suwa—because Suwa wanted to replace him and let a beautiful star host the show to increase the ratings.

...

The host walked out of the studio, and as soon as he left the sight of the staff, he rushed to the warehouse on the seventh floor.

On the way, he took out the mobile phone and gun that he had hidden in advance, called Suwa, and lied to him that he was going to jump off the building.

At this time, Suwa was on the fourth floor.

After receiving the call, he opened the swing-up window in shock, leaned out, and looked up.

The muzzle of a black hole crashed into the field of vision—upstairs, the host held up the gun, smiled at him, and squeezed the trigger forcefully.

...

The bullet pierced Suwa's temple. The corpse slipped and fell, pressing down on the lower half of the window, and the up and down swivel window was closed tightly again.

Before the window was completely closed, the host let go and threw the gun into the room.

——In this way, it seems that "someone broke into the room where Suwa was, forced him to the window with a gun, and then shot him to death."

And the four-minute commercial time is not enough for the host to travel from the ninth floor where the studio is located to the fourth floor where Suwa is located.

In other words, alibi, at hand.

...

With a sneer, the host packed up all the props and rushed back to the studio.

He returned to his seat without incident, and nodded apologetically to the others.

The host didn't delay the live broadcast, and of course his temporary colleagues didn't say anything.

Only the young detective looked down at his calf.

The host was guilty of being a thief. After Jiang Xia looked away, he secretly lowered his head and looked at his trouser legs.

Fortunately, it looks clean and there is no strange thing on it.

Only then did he feel relieved, smiled and continued to host the show.

...

After the live broadcast, more people are looking for producers.

Suwa's body was soon discovered.

...

The Mumu Police Department came with a team and saw Jiang Xia in the crowd at a glance.

His expression became a little complicated in an instant.

"..." Brother Jiang Xia's luck in reciting words lasted too long.

Moreover, the frequency of Jiang Xia's encounters with cases, especially the frequency of cases where the criminals used fancy tactics, seemed to be a bit higher than that of Kudo's brother.

...

There are a lot of people in the building, but few people who are not suspected, which makes the detection of the case more difficult.

Fortunately, the time of committing the crime is quite clear - during the live broadcast, the host asked the staff to find Suwa, who was still alive at that time, so the time of the crime was set within 40 minutes.

Megure Police Department stroked his chin and pondered politely.

After a minute, he gave up thinking: "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"

Jiang Xia did not disappoint him.

The new brother's reasoning was as concise as ever: "The murderer should be Mr. Matsuo."

As she said that, as if she was afraid that someone would not know who "Mr. Matsuo" was, Jiang Xia pointed at the door intimately: "That host."

host:"……"

After he stayed for a second, he was furious: "How could I kill my friend?!" As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

... Regardless of professional ability, at least the acting skills are very qualified.

However, several police officers who had seen Jiang Xia's reasoning became vigilant and secretly surrounded the host.

...

The host found that the emotional card didn't work, so he had to start talking about the evidence.

He looked at Jiang Xia: "When Suwa was killed, I was always in the studio, didn't you just sit next to me!"

Jiang Xia nodded her head: "But during the commercial break, you left for four minutes."

"That can't be me!" The host really couldn't figure out why Jiang Xia would stare at him. It stands to reason that people like Jiang Xia who always stay by his side and have seen his movements with their own eyes are the easiest to be deceived.

This is also one of the reasons why the host will do it today.

One——This program invites all famous detectives. Only this time, the person who came was Jiang Xia, who had a small number of cases solved and was suspected to have come in through Yoko Kinoshita. He felt that it was the least difficult to fool Jiang Xia.

However, things were completely different from what he thought.

——The other detectives at least talked about the evidence, but Jiang Xia didn't hesitate from the very beginning, as if he was very sure that the murderer was him... What went wrong? !

Seeing the approaching police, the host felt anxious and explained, "Four minutes is not enough! From the studio on the 9th floor to here, take the shortest way, and it will take at least six minutes to go back and forth!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.

After a while, Yoko Kinoshita whispered: "How do you know so well? Have you tested it yourself?"

host:"……"

He thumped in his heart.

But he is worthy of being a comedian, and the circle speed is very fast: "One meeting, I was late by 7 minutes, I ran while looking at my watch, and when I arrived, I just caught up, so I knew the time very well..."

The Mumu police department gave a "huh" and nodded.

... This reason is barely justified.

In order to confirm the round-trip time, he looked at Jiang Xia and took out a stopwatch: "Why don't you go for a run?"
