Conan’s Corpse Picker

Toru Amuro noticed Jiang Xia's movements and also looked at the notebook.

Jiang Xia opened the page in question and handed it to him.

Conan is different from the gangsters of the two organizations. He is a serious detective.

Upon arriving at the scene, he first looked at the body with full concentration.

After taking in all the information that could be observed with the naked eye, Conan straightened up and glanced to the side unintentionally. Since they were about the same height, they could just see Jiang Xia's hand hanging by his side. The color of the palm is darker, as if it is stained with...

A splash of blood? !

Conan was startled and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and turned it over to take a look.

The casual glance just now turned out to be no illusion. The stain on Jiang Xia's palm was really blood.

...I just saw a corpse that was stabbed to death and covered in blood. When he turned around, he saw blood on the hands of his companion.

"..." He has read a lot of Conan's mystery novels, and actually a lot of horror movies. The scenes in such third-rate horror movies have never scared him, but this time, he felt a solid thump in his heart.

In fact, it is difficult not to spread suspicion about Amuro Tohru to Jiang Xia. Even if Conan believes that Jiang Xia will not kill anyone, it is difficult for Jiang Xia not to be affected by Amuro Toru. And Conan remembered that based on the approximate time of death of the deceased, Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru left the hotel during that time.

He looked up at Jiang Xia and blurted out in shock: "You..."

"You have something dirty on your hands!"

Next to him, "Suzuki Sonoko" shouted in surprise. And before Conan could react, he took out a wet wipe from nowhere, took Jiang Xia's hand and gave it a few squeezes.

The blood is gone.

Then she took out another bottle of disinfectant from somewhere and sprayed it.

Conan: "..."

He was speechless for a moment because of the speed with which the evidence was destroyed.

But soon, with the interruption of "Suzuki Sonoko", the surprise of suddenly seeing blood stains subsided. After Conan instinctively made a series of assumptions, he had time to follow the process and make assumptions about himself one by one. Find the loopholes.

Then I realized that I was probably a little nervous just now and was too influenced by the premise that "Amuro Toru has a problem", so I thought about things astray.

Toru Amuro is indeed suspicious, and the so-called commission doesn’t sound right.

But as far as today's events are concerned, if you think about it carefully, after Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru left the hotel just now, the two of them actually went back again and even ordered a table of local snacks as a midnight snack.

Even if Jiang Xia really killed someone, he must have washed his hands before eating. There was no way there was still blood on his hands - the bloodstain was on the palm of his hand that was difficult to ignore when there was light.

Next to him, Toru Amuro glanced at Conan and realized that it was not his illusion.

——This child is always startled every time he meets him. How does he look like a bad guy?

But on the other hand, this may mean that he played "Bourbon" well?

"It must be the blood stained on it." Toru Amuro shook the notebook Jiang Xia had just given him, "Jiang Xia just picked it up. There are blood stains on the back and on the inside pages. I also got a little on my hands."

As he spoke, he opened his hand and showed it to the others. Sure enough, the blood stain on Jiang Xia's palm was in the same position just now.

Next to him, a police officer at the scene twitched his ears and ran over alertly, grabbing his handbag and saying, "How could you touch the evidence directly?"

Yes, yes. Conan nodded secretly. Jiang Xia used to be regarded as a model detective in the eyes of the police, but today he directly encountered the handbook. My intuition was indeed correct, something wasn't quite right... I hoped that there wouldn't be any fingerprints on the notebook that shouldn't be on it, so I had to take it again to cover it up.

His eyes looked back and forth between Jiangxia and Toru Amuro, and finally fell on Toru Amuro's hand.

…

Suspicions remain suspicions, but after all there is an unsolved case in front of us.

According to Conan's usual style of acting, even if Gin puts a gun to his head now, after he is frightened, he will instinctively free up part of his brain to think about the murderer.

In short, since Jiangxia and Toru Amuro don't have any clues for the time being, it's better to think about the case in front of them first.

Just now, when Jiang Xia picked up the handbook and checked it, Conan had already slipped to the body and briefly checked the situation.

At this time, for Conan, the bloody handbook undoubtedly became a new clue.

Unfortunately, it is now in the hands of the police. Even if you put your feet up, you can only see the back...

While Conan tried to raise his head to read, he suddenly remembered - he had seen this notebook before. When the dead assistant director asked them to leave a message, he had shaken this notebook to them and asked them to read the writing on the back. The word "ホヅミ" should be the pronunciation of his last name.

The police officer holding the notebook felt complicated as he looked at the physical evidence that had been handled by two people.

But think about it, the person who tampered with the physical evidence is a detective, and he actually thinks this is not a big problem...

The police officer sighed and looked at Jiang Xia: "Where was the handbag when you first discovered it? We didn't even see it..."

"There." Jiang Xia turned around and pointed to a place two steps away behind him. "Half of it was buried in the leaves. When I passed by, I felt something wrong with the sound of dead leaves rubbing against the ground. I didn't find out until I looked carefully."

By the way, I will provide some information: "There are blood stains on the 'April 1st' position on the inside page. It should have been printed by the deceased. You can see a clearer pattern. You can compare the fingerprints. If this is the case, it may be his." Some kind of death message.”

"Oh." The police officer nodded and turned back to check.

While they were talking, the policeman leading the team came over and asked from a few meters away: "How are you doing? Did you find any clues..."

Halfway through the words, the voice stopped abruptly.

Followed by a different tone: "Why is it you again?!"

Jiang Xia was startled, then turned around and saw Yamamura Cao - a confused police officer who didn't know whether he was qualified as a police officer, but he was quite qualified as a case attractor.

"Hmph, retribution! All the cases you encountered are retribution!" Yamamura Cao looked at Jiang Xia and then at Toru Amuro, remembering that the three of them went to the dark bungalow in the Tougami Forest to look for clues before, but these two bastard detectives He left him and ran away, "You actually left a righteous police officer and ran away alone. No wonder you are unlucky every day!"

"..." Jiang Xia looked at him with a little regret. If the reason for the murder was really like this, things would be simple...

Yamamura Cao suddenly felt a chill in his back and sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, turned around warily, and glanced at the framing tree that looked particularly gloomy at night. He looked at it for a moment, but found nothing unusual, and finally wrapped his coat tightly in silence.
